THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1935 THE CAPITAE JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON 9 COMBINED ORDER OF BROTHERHOOD FOR SILVERTDN Stlverton The Lutheran Broth erhood met at the social rooms of the Immanuel Lutheran church Tuesday evening with John aople rud, chairman, presiding. Rev. J. M. Jensen opened the session with devotionals. The organization committee ap pointed at the previous meeting, of which H. N. Kiev is chairman, re ported the finding of sentiment strongly In favor of one united Brotherhood for Silverton. The committee recommended that the organization act on this phase of the group and the recommendation was voted afflmatlvely unanimous. Ooplerud appolnterd a committee on constitution to report at the next meeting. These were H. B. Jorgen son, Elmer Johnson and Alf. O. Nelson. Program numbers included two J selections by a male quartet In cluding John Overlund, Ernest By berg, Henry Haaland and Elvin Palmquist; a vocal solo by Carl Thorkildson, accompanied by Vio let Herigstad; piano solo, Violet Herigstad; and a musical reading by Mrs. Jonas Byberg with Mr. Byberg at the piano. Rev. Carl Foss pronounced the benediction. The Immanuel Guild served re freshments with Mrs. R. B. -Wins-low and Miss Hilda J. Olsen In charge. Alf. O. Nelson, state Brotherhood president, announced as program numbers promised for the state con terence in March several se lections by the Silverton high school l-a'.id, and chorus by the famous choir of the Parkland church of which Dr. O. A. Tinglestad is direc tor, and by the Silverton Lutheran male chorus of which Norman Jen son is director. ROT RESISTED BY STRAIN OF CLOVER Willamette sweet clover, a new stem-rot resistant strain, is now on th market, the result of 10 years of testing and development at Ore gon State college, according to re ports of the experimenters received here. Led by Harry A. Schoth, federal agronomist at the college, and ag ricultural scientists succeeded in producing approximately 50,000 pounds of the seed, all from one stalk which, 10 years ago, was found to have resisted the stem-rot dis ease. It took five generations to grow and purify the strain. Inquiries about the new product have been coming in from many eastern and midwestern states, where stem-rot has caused much damage. Willamette sweet clover Is expected to give green summer , pasture and serve as a preventative of soil erosion. Disabled Veterans Now Making Poppies Thousands of disabled World war veterans are already hard at work In hospitals and workrooms through out the country manufacturing the 10.000,000 little red paper poppies which will be sold by the American Legion on May 25 on the annual benefit Poppy day. Only disabled men receiving little or no federal compensation, or those with dependent families are allow ed to earn money by making the little mementoes of Flanders Flenx Workers are restricted to making 300 flowers per day at one cent each. The lump earnings of the nation's veterans will total approximately $100,000. Waconda Roy Jones who under went a mnjor operation at the St. Vincent hospital in Portland at the hands of Dr. Jones, is reported as progressing nicely. His daughter, Mrs. Cotter Gould and small son, Cotter Ray of Eugene, and Miss Florence Swingler has charge of the Jones home during his absence. Pre-Shrunk Label Said To Mean Little The "pre-shrunk" label on many types of textiles actually means little, warned the federal bureau ! cf home economics. Although some excellent processes for reducing the shrinkage of cloth ing have been developed, said the bureau, the labels on a large pro portion of textiles are unfortunately indefinite and sometimes actually misleading. The New York board of trade. working under the sponsorship of the American Standards associa tion, recently recommended that no woven frabric be permitted on the market with the label "pre-shrunk" if it would shrink more than three per cent when subjected to normal washing. It further recommended that the exact percentage of shrink age be stated on the label of gar ments marked "pre-shrunk." ELEVEN-MONTH LAW USED IN FORECAST An "eleven -month law" of weath er forecasting has been established wth a considerable degree of cer tainty by cllmatologists of the fed eral weather bureau, reported the United States department of agriculture. Worked out primarily in the mid west, It was discovered that a hot June was followed by an abnormally hot May the next year. Thus, May this year is predicted to be warm and dry throughout the Missouri and upper Mississippi valleys, the aftermath of the phenomenal drouth last summer. No drought is pre dicted this year, however. While the rule has not yet been perfected for world-wide use, cer tain mid-oceanic regions are found to respond to the forecasts on the eleven-month rule, particularly in Bermuda. Several baffling aspects have aris en, however. Abnormaltles of tem perature do not necessarily occur in all parts of the world at the same time, even though each area may follow its own eleven-month cycle. Further, between Bermuda and the midwest lies a large area which refuses to behave, and shows no such sequence. Again in Siberia. the rules goes exactly Into reverse, hot Junes being followed by cold Mays. Cllmatologists hope, how ever, to perfect the system for use in the United States. LEGION WOMEN HELP WELFARE ' Monmouth The American Legion auxi'iary Is carrying on a com mendable relief and welfare pro gram in Monmouth and vicinity. tor the Christmas season, 15 fam ilies were given Christmas baskets, valued at (10 each, containing food for Christmas dinner, toys, clothing and candy. Generous donations by some of the Monmouth business men were received at that time, consisting of toys and cards from the Morlan store; flour from the L. B. Howard grocery and the mill; a cash dona tion from Mr. Hendron, engineer at the Normal school, and $10 from the local Red Cross organization Members of the unit furnished sup plies of food and clothing and the balance was bought from local merchants. Last month a family In need was reported to the unit and a box of groceries valued at $7.50 was dis patched to them. Shoes have been bought for some needy children and the auxiliary maintains a relief department in charge of Mrs. Verde Shrunk, where used clothing and shoes may be obtained by those in need. Practically all of the money taken in by the auxiliary Is used in this comunlty and the organization feels that It la doing a worthy work which should merit the support and good will of the citizens of Mon mouth. "WESTWARD HO" IS SLOGAN FOR MOVERS Westward, Hoi" Is once again the cry as the pioneers of 1935, refugees of the drought, move and are moved to Oregon. Aided by the federal "coloniza tion" program, families are con stantly flocking westward to settle in the Pacific northwest's fertile and comparatively sparsely popu lated lands. Prom the drought-ravaged areas of the midwest have come and are still coming hundreds of families. The United States government will loan each family between $2000 and $3000 to assist In establishing them selves In their new homes. One example of the new move ment westward Is the group from North Dakota which will come to Oregon this spring. Three hundred and fifty families will be moved from that state and settled around Eugene, Roseburg and Tillamook. Oregontans constantly report get ting letters from midwestern farm ers ruined by the rainless siege of 1934 which turned their fertile, pros perous lands Into worthless, sub marginal dust neaps, "is mere plenty of rain in the Willamette valley?", "Would a lamuy need much land to make a decent living there?" and "Could we buy improved land or only logged-off stump land?" are typical of the queries directed by the midwesterners West Stayton Mrs. Lester Dow and children of Brooks are visiting with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Comstock. LODGE GROUP CALLS Independence A group of mem bers from Salem Royal Arch chap ter of Masons assisted Independ ence chapter Tuesday night in con ferring the M.M. degree upon three candidates. Refreshmntse were served at the close. SOCIAL DISEASE SERIOUS IN STATE More than eight per cent of the population of Oregon is afflicted with some sort of venereal disease, reported the state board of health. Only a third of this number Is under treatment, and less than a quarter of the cases are never re ported to the health authorities, said the board. "It Is definitely known," said State Health Officer Frederick D. Strieker, M.D.. in a report, "that from 10 to 35 per cent of all cases of Insanity Is due to syphilis. The disease also causes 30 per cent of heart diseases. Gonorrhea causes 00 per cent of blindness of the new born and 10 per cent of all blind ness." Venereal diseases cost the state POPCORN PRICES ARE POPPING NOW Popcorn prices are popping. Where farmers throughout the country were selling their popcorn a year ago for a cent a pound, the price has now gone to five and eight cents a pound, with eastern dealers asking 12 to 15 cents, reported the United States department of agriculture. The phenomenal rise was caused by the midwestern drought last summer. The entire Iowa, Nebras ka and Kansas crop was almost a complete failure. Usually these states produce 75 per cent of the entire amount. Farmers are warned, however, that any attempt to rush the mar ket can easily cause an oversupply and low prices again, as the demand for popcorn is quite small. Once the leading American confection. pop-corn has run into stiff com petition In the last few years Irom candy bars and frozen confections, said the department. Oregon Dog Owners Pay $19,585 Taxes Oregon's dog-owners paid taxes on $19,585 worth of dogs in the 1933-34 blennlum, reported the state tax commission. -A total of 1430 dogs were consid ered worth putting on the tax rolls. They had an average value 01 $13.70. Umatilla, with 422 dogs, is the "doggiest" county In the state, the average dog being worth $9.94. Lane county is second with 388, but had to count foxes as dogs. Washing ton county also counted Its foxes to get in with 325. Not quits half the counties placed dogs on rolls. $1,000,000 a year, half the amount in medical treatment and the other half In loss of wages. They rank next to measles and common colds as the leading communicable diseases. Dried prunes from the United States are being eaten In Rome. the London's Hat Modes Leave Pillbox Behind London (IP) The "Marina pill box" hat, reportedly still the rage in Paris and the United States, al ready has been forgotten here. In swift succession, the style set by the new Duchess of Kent last winter has given way to the "shovel hat," the "alengarry," the "halo," the masculine Homburg, and now the "chocolate box" the last a dark brown square not unlike a scholastto mortarboard with the rim left off. London designers are now wait ing for the fashion-setting duch ess to return from her honeymoon cruise to start yet another mode.
