Milk Control
Board Makes
Statement
A formal statement has been Is
sued by the milk control board
through C. E. Grelle, chairman, of
Portland, relative to Us new pooling
order for the Salem area board,
says the statement, having seen "fit
to approve the compromise pro
posals submitted to it by the dif
ferent groups of dairymen.
The statement goes on to say:
"For years the Salem market has
been the scene of bitter differences
within the industry leading to num
erous law suits and counter suits,
which, at times, have occupied the
attention of the public and kept the
Industry in a turmoil.
"Last spring It appeared that a
compromise of differences was pos
sible. The board encouraged the
dairymen to work out their own
problems and it agreed to approve
any reasonable proposals the in
dustry could make within Itself,
provided such proposals compiled
with the provisions of the Oregon
milk control act. Finajly, after sev
eral months of negotiations, the
problem has been worked out to the
general satisfaction of both the
board and the Industry,
"The board is putting a new pool
ing order into effect in the Salem
market effective as of October 1,
and with the present attitude of
cooperation prevailing in the in
dustry, the consuming public,
well as the Industry, are, for the
first time, In a position to realize
the full benefits to be derived from
the Oregon milk control law on the
Salem market."
Recover Loot in
Burglars' Cache
Pour typewriters stolen from the
Dundee schoolhouse, three electric
toasters and a radio taken from the
Hazel Green school and other art
icles taken in schoolhouse burglaries

Corners north of Newberg. Guiding
the officers to the cache was Ken
neth Hatfield, who admitted to be
ing an accomplice of Charles Russell
Street in the burglaries.
Hatfield, 22, was arrested by Chief
of Police Omar Halvorsen of Silver-
ton Saturday night. In justice court
here today he waived preliminary
hearing and was held to the grand
jury. He failed to make bail of $1000
and is held in jail. The same dispo
sition was made of Street's case fol
lowing his arrest last at Vancouver,
Wash., last Thursday while he was
trying to sell one of the radios.
Street, who is 43, was arraigned in
justice court Friday.

Smash in Near East
Likely to Be Delayed
Br DeWitt MuKensie
(Auoclat.d Preta Stall Wrlt.r)
Fuehrer Hitler has been moving mighty fast in swinging
the Balkans into line with the idea of attacking Britain by
means of a drive through the near east, but it strikes me
there's no certainty that he has
moved fast enough to permit ot
full offensive before next spring.
The nazl chieftain's week-end po
litlco-economlc accord with Yugo
slavia further consolidates the posi
tion which the Berlin-Rome axis Is
creating for the big smash. With
Rumania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia
now apparently safely in the sack,
the potential battle-line of the dic
tators is right up against the fron
tiers of Greece and Turkey.
But there comes the hitch. These
pro-Brlttsh, Turko-Oreek allies are
the hold-outs the badlands of the
Balkans who, possibly with the
encouragement of Russia, stand be
tween the axis and Its near east
ern ambition. Unless they change
Strong Navy
Urged by Knox
Washington, Oct. 21 (P) The
United States fleet was reminded
today of Its responsibility as the
nation's "first line of defense against
attack," and told that the newly
concluded Rome-Berlin-Tokyo pact
was directed at this country.
Navy Secretary Knox, In his mes
sage to bluejackets and officers for
Navy day, October 27, urged that
the fleet be kept "strong, efficient
and ready" In "this serious time in
our nation's history."
"The outspoken aim of the mili
tary alliance recently formed by Ger
many, Italy and Japan is the appli
cation of pressure on all nations not
now at war, Including our own na
tion," said Knox in the message
released yesterday.
"In Europe, Asia and Africa wars
are being fought for world domina
tion. Those wars are prosecuted
to destroy democracy and the free
processes of trade and culture ..."
This year, as last year, no general
Navy day visiting of fleet units or
bases will be permitted "in the in
terest of national security."

Corporal William B. Clark of
Turner, has been selected to pursue
an airplane mechanics course at the
California Flyers school, municipal
airport, Los Angeles, according to
an announcement by the command
ing general of Hamilton Field, Calif.
The course of instruction Corporal
Clark is to undertake will qualify
him as Junior airplane mechanic
and will be a boost toward higher
rank and pay In his military career.
He has been for some time on duty
with the 18th pursuit squadron at
Hamilton field as an apprentice
air mechanic.
Clark, who is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. Frank R. Clark of Turner, Is

in the air corps at Vancouver bar
racks, Wash, in January, 1040, and
has been at the west coast air
base since August 11, having trans
ferred from Moffett Field on that
date.
The fact that Corporal Clark

gree of ability and industry," com
ments army authorities.

their defiant attitude it will be ne
cessary to manhandle them and
plenty before it will be possible to
force the Dardanelles strait which
forms a barrier between Europe and
the near east.
That's a Job which can't be done
over night, especially since Britain
is bound to fling into the battle ev
ery ounce of naval strength which
she can spare. The fall rains will
be coming any time now forerun
ners of a fierce winter and these
will turn the roads and country
sides into a well-nigh hopeless mess
of gumbo and I mean deep, greasy
mud.
I've motored in all those countries
after the autumn storms had be
gun, and have no doubt that It
would be making a heavy gamble to
inaugurate big military operations
in this sea of mud. The Balkan
roads as a whole are bad, and many
of them become downright danger
ous after they are waterlogged. More
than once I've traveled along the
edge of a near precipice with the
rear of my car lashing back and

carry any obligation to take a present, and for this reason I have written
that it is suitable for a member of
surprise housewarmlng for another member. In the following letter, how
ever, the Intended housewarmlng is actually a shower: "My sister and her
husband moved into a new house,.
and I would like to have a surprise
housewarmlng for them. May I ask
their friends and suggest that each
donate some money so we can buy
something for the new house?1
The answer therefore is the same
as that for a shower. In other words,
one cannot possibly ask people to a
party given for a member of one's
own family to which there is ad
mlttance fee of any sort. If some
of the guests themselves club to
gether to buy a present, that would
have nothing to do with your plan.
But the idea of taking up a collec
tion, or any other plan for present-
giving, started by you, would be in
very bad taste.

Dear Mrs. Post: My daughter,
aged 23, wants me to give her per
mission to go with a very good boy
friend to visit his family.
(They have written and invited her
to come home with him.) The trip
necessitates twenty-four hours on
the train, which Is why we are hes
itating to let her go. We trust the
young people all right, but we don't
exactly trust what other people may
say that would reflect on their good
reputations. Would I be taking any
chance about this it I let her go?
Answer: According to present day
propriety, it is permissible for a
young man and a young woman to
go on an over-night train trip, in
an open pullman or tourists sleeping
car, because all the people In the
