r Pilot Plants for New Wood Use Washington, Feb. 20 (tf) Rep. Norman (R., Wash.), plans to introduce legislation to au thorize establishment of a chain of pilot plants in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho to develop new uses for wood and wood waste and improve forest prod ucts. Norman said today his meas ure will provide that the work be done by the forest service of the agriculture department. "This may be done in coop eration with colleges, private in dustry or independently by the forest service, Norman said "but the bill will contain pro visions which will prohibit com petition by the government with private industry." He said in a statement he en visioned a time when, with low cost power, new wood products, increased farm production and development of light and heavy metals industries, "a great era of prosperity will begin for Wash ington and its sister states. Onandago Searches Sea for Catherine II Astoria, Ore., Feb. 21 U.R The coast guard cutter Onan daga, relying on radar, searched the fog-bound ' Pacific off ihe Oregon coast today for the Pan' amanian ship Catherine II which radioed distress signals early yesterday and then went silent. The freighter had messaged that it was in 60 fathams of water 10 to 20 miles off the Col umbia river lightship, saying she had sprung two bad leaks and was also having rudder trouble. The fact she messaged her depth indicated she was not sure of her position, observers here said. The 1500-ton vessel, formerly the S. S. Whitney Olson, was bound out of Tacoma, Wash., for Japan with a cargo of railroad ties. She was trying to reach the Columbia river when she messaged, then went silent. Waterfront observers here said the 224-foot vessel probably East Salem Planning Program To Continue Serving Lunches East Salem, Feb. 21 The February business meeting of Swegle PTA was held at the school house Tuesday afternoon. The presi dent, Mrs. George Standley, had mailed a. special invitation to cacn home where there were children in school as it is neces sary at this time to make long range planning for next year's hot lunch program at the school. There was a good attendance and several different methods of handling the problem were discussed in view of the fact there may be no government help, not even the small amount now received, to help with the cost. The planning of special vege tables for canning for this pur pose, either at home, at the school or the community can neries, or the raising of the price of the lunch ticket were con sidered. Believing that those who were unable to attend should have an understanding of the problems involved a short explanation of the problems will be given at the program hour of the pie social meeting Friday night. The hot lunch program at Swegle has been successful with the plans being carried out with no confusion and much credit is given to the hot lunch chairmen and the cooks. Members at the meeting also voted to sponsor the new "Blue Bird" organization of which Mrs. L. H. Allison is leader. Mrs. John Woodburn of Lan caster drive entertained with a birthday party for her grand son on his first birthday.

Morse, R., Ore., usually regarded as friendly to ward labor, warned labor spokesmen Thursday to offer constructive recommendations if they want to avoid laws that "go too far." In the house, Labor Chair man Fred A. Hartley, jr., pre dicted his committee will vote to ban union boycotts. Morse sounded his warning as the senate labor committee heard Clarence Mitchell, labor secretary for the advancement of colored people. Mitchell ob jected to all labor bills pending in congress. Morse apparently was stung by two days of labor testimony, nearly all of it critical of bills now before the committee. "We're going to have labor legislation, you can put that down in your book," he told Mitchell. "I'm going to vote for some of it; 1 hope I can vote for good legislation. "But if I have to make a choice between no legislation and legislation that goes too far, I will have to vote for legisla tion that goes too far." Morse said there is a public demand for labor legislation which will not be ignored. "What are you people in la bor doing?" he. asked. "You're giving us no help at all. I want some conscoinable legislation." Unless labor cooperates, he said, it will find congress pass ing legislation which "is un likely to be what it should have been."

Wlllrlt or the Capital Drug Store There are various and sundry reasons for backache, but be cause this is a symptom which comes and goes and seldom seems very serious, many people neglect the symptom. A physician's diagnosis will set you right, should you be one of those who complain of backache. It could be that your eyes are un der too much strain, possibly your posture is bad, perhaps there is something yet more seri ous. Only a doctor can tell. The backache may not be too important, but the disorder which sends out this particular discomfort may be very impor tant, and also easily corrected. Be sure that all prescribed medication is of first quality and purchased from a reputable druggist.

V. Today the farm not only provides sustenance for a large dairy herd but produces surplus hay which Shively sells. So successful is Shlvely's farming and dairying methods that milk from his herds shows the phenomenally low sac tcria count of 2000. One of the drainage ditches which has brought fertility end life to soib given up as hopeless by Shively's Scap pooie neighbors. Here Shively (standing) captains the benefits of the ditch to Fred E. Joehnke, farm field representative of the First National Bask of Portland. Neighbors shook their heads back in 1942 when Gaylord Shively bought his 125-acre farm in the Scappoose Drainage District. The (oil was depleted, much of the land poorly drained, and the whole place infected withweeds. The man who moved off when Shively took over had found it difficult to sus tain 16 cows on the 125-acre tract. Today Shively has 92 head of cattle, including 35 producing milk cows. The farm has become so productive that this year the Scappoose farmer has been able to market 100 tons of surplus hay. Newspaper stories and radio broadcasts have pointed to the Shively farm operation as an out standing example in agricultural development. In four years acres of wasteland have grpwn rich and profitable. Shively's success with land which had been given up as useless is a tribute to modern, scientific farm ing methods. The first year he worked his newly acquired soil he had to buy 100 tons of hay and 50 tons of grain to feed the 40 head of cattle he had brought with him to the Scappoose farm. Neigh bors urged him either to cut down his herd or to give up entirely. Shively did neither. Instead he applied to the government agricul tural conservation program which is set up to provide half the cose in carrying out practices to con serve and improve soil and water resources. The Columbia County AACommittee, headed by Chair man W. C Johnson of Mist, ap proved a program of soil building practices, drainage, pasture, and irrigation improvement for the farm and Shively went to work. In 1943 he launched his pro gram. First he turned under 15 acres of green manure crops and gave his ailing pasture a two-ton shot of phosphate. The following year he sweetened the sour soil with 18 tons of lime and tackled the drainage problem by construct ing 1700 feet of new drainage ditch. He continued both projects in 1945 by giving the soil 37 addi tional tons of lime and digging an other 3200 feet of drainage ditch. That same year he reorganized the farm's make-shift irrigation system, moving 4020 yards of dirt to construct a permanent lateral and installing 143 feet of 24-inch pipe. Irrigation was necessary be cause, though the land was water sogged in the Spring, it dried up too rapidly when the hot summer months came on. He rounded out his 1945 program by seeding 20 acres of pasture land to improved grasses and by getting rid of 55 acres of bull thistles before they had a chance to seed. Last year Shively added another 40 tons of lime to sweeten the soil, seeded down another 20 acres of pasture to better grasses and le gumes, and dug another 1400 feet of drainage ditch. Although he has all ready trip led production on his revitalized acres, Shively feels that his de velopment program has just be gun. He had proved to himself and the community that a farm, properly worked, can grow richer and more productive with the passing years. The First National believes that there is a moral to be drawn from the story of Gaylord Shively ... a moral that emphasizes the grass root initiative, the imagination and integrity which characterizes the Oregon farmer. The First National Bank of Portland is interested vitally in soil conservation and reclamation and in all projects that advance the interests of Oregon agricul ture.
