Thanksgiving
Week Nof Just
Single Day
fBT United Prem
It will be a Thanksgiving week
this year, not just a day.
A survey showed today that 23
states, according to proclamations
by governors, will observe Thanks
giving Thursday, the 23rd, in aup
port of President Roosevelt, and 20
will observe the traditional date of
the last Thursday of the month.
Five states Nebraska, Colorado,
Texas, Idaho and New Mexico
will observe both dates.
But many cities in states which
officially had designated the 23rd,
planned to observe the traditional
day for sentimental reasons. Other
cities announced they would observe
both dates and some families, un
moved by tradition or proclama
tions and mindful of economy,
planned to have their turkey for
dinner on Sunday, the 26th.
The survey indicated that In
states observing both dates, the
traditional day was most popular.
The lineup by states:
Nov. 23 Illinois. Louisiana, Mississippi.
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Ohio. California,
Indiana, New York, Maryland, Geonria,
MIchlKan, Oregon. Missouri, Utah, Mon
tana. New Jersey, Nnrth Dakota. South
Carolina. Virginia, Washington, West Vir
ginia and Wyoming.
Nov. 30 Minnesota, Wisconsin. Okla
homa. Arkansas, Tennessee, Nevada, Iowa.
Alabama. Arizona. Florida, Kansas, Ken

concessions being made for Argen
tine apples and pears in a trade

The first delegation to appear be
fore the county court to place an
application for a road to be on the
oiled road program of 1940 came
from the Mt. Angel and Marquam

traffic on this road."

that there were Indications the
Clackamas county court would lm
prove the road In that county to the
county line.
Court members said they would
examine the road, that the engineer

if lt was In proper shape to carry an
oil rock surface, and that they will
give the matter consideration when
they are considering the roads to go
on the program in the spring,

Export Board
Peoria, 111., Nov. 21 (;p) Creation
of a non-partisan body with broad
powers to regulate imports and ex
ports was proposed today by the
foreign relations committee of the
National Orange,
The proposal waa placed before
the organizations 71st annual con
vention in the form of a resolution
which also urged congress to ter
minate trade agreements now in

mittee expressed opposition to re
newal of the trade act upon its

lution during the morning ses
sion. The proposed trade board would
be responsible to congress and

erican producing and consuming
interests, properly co-ordinated
with the tariff commission, with
powers to regulate imports and ex
ports within prescribed limitations
and with power to promote and
encourage exchanges of goods ad
vantageous to the American people.
The grange adopted a resolution
urging an adequate protective tar
iff t on all imported commodities
competing with American produced
starch.

Staples Loses
$7500 Damages
For Injuries
The state supreme court reversed
today a Multnomah curcult court
Isaac B. Staples of Tillamook $7,500
damages for personal Injury against
the estate of Eugenia J. Roths
child.
Staples was Injured when he fell
through a trap door into the base
ment of a building owned by the
estate, the building being located
at S.W. Third Ave. and Columbia
street In Portland.
Staples contended there should
have been a railing around the
trap door. The lower court ruled
that the defendant was negligent,
but the high court ruled there waa
no negligence. The decision, by Jus
tice Lusk, reversed Circuit Judge
John P. Winter.
The high court also ruled that
an election in school district 48 In
Clackamas county was legal, and
that the district may thus build
a new school house to replace a 47-year-old
structure.
Lewis B. McBee sought an In
junction to restrain the district
from buying the site for the school,
McBee charging the election was
not conducted according to law.
The decision was written by Jus
tice Rossman and upheld Circuit
Judge Earl C. Latourette's order
dismissing the case.
Marlon E. Diskey, Portland at
torney, was suspended from practice
for two years for allegedly misap
propriating funds of a client.
In another case, the court up
held a Malheur county decision
awarding $250 damages to Grant
and Fanny Walter, who sued Joe
Echanis and Joe Zarranondia lor
damages resulting from the trespas
sing of sheep on the Walter property

A HOPELESS JOB
By ,1. If. Willett
Or th. Ca,IU1 Drut sior.
Searching for facts to prove
the gossip about great wealth
accumulated by doctors of medi
cine from the fees paid by pa
tlenta, is a hopeless Job.
Men have been known to secure
ample funds to enable them to
live in luxury the balance of
their lives, by salvaging a rock
wrecked ship hulk. Neither long
experience nor substantial invest
ment were necessary to gain that
life of ease.
Medical doctors salvage many
humans wrecked and wracked by
disease. We hear of such cases,
experience them, and go compla
cently about our affairs without
a thought as to whether or not
the doctor receives his rightful
due of salvage money, as does the
ship salvager.
Are there those, who can, but
have not, paid for the salvaging
of their own broken health or
that of some member of their
family? There are.
That's the principal reason
why the average Income of medi
cal doctors throughout the coun
try parallels that of a trainman.
