f
! Grocerymen of Oregon Get
Pointers on New Egg Law
E. L. Peterson, director, Oregon state department of agricul
ture, today called attention to the fact that amendments to the
Oregon egg law made by the 1948 legislature become effective
July 16. i
Mr. Peterson said, "All grocerymen of the state should famil
iarize themselves with the pro-
visions of this law and their re
sponsibilities under Its pro
visions. We in the department
are attempting to get informa
tion concerning the law's pro
visions into the hands of all per
sons affected by it as rapidly as
possible."
Under the amended law a per
mit for the sale of eggs must
be obtained by every retailer,
wholesaler or iobber who grades
eggs for sale to Oregon consum
ers. In the case of a retailer, no
permit is needed provided the
j groceryman sells only eggs
1 which have been candled and
i graded, as required by the egg
law, by the wholesaler, jobber
or producer from whom the
eggs are purchased for resale.
Previously, all eggs sold to
consumers anywhere in the state
were presumed to be graded
and labeled, but no state per
mit was required for sale of
eggs In a town of a population
of less than 1,000. Beginning
Jvlly 1, this exception as to popu
lation is removed, thus making
the aoolication of the egg deal-
.er's permit state-wide.
The amendments to the law
were sponsored by the poultry
Industry of the state to provide
funds, through the licensing
provisions, to permit more com
plete enforcement of the egg law
and in this manner provide
. greater protection of egg quality
for the consumer.
The new license fee is based
on volume of business. Every
holder of an egg dealer's permit
will pay a minimum annual fee
of $2. In addition, each egg
'dealer selling more than 200
cases or units (of 30 dozen eggs)
during each fiscal year, begin
ning July 1, will pay 3 cents on
each case or unit in excess of
the 200. The additional fee will
be payable each six months, on
January 1, and July 1.
Copies of the amended egg
law will be available for dis
tribution shortly.

Scarcity of Work
Felt at Lebanon
Lebanon There is now a
minimum turn-over in workers
seeking jobs in eastern Linn
county, records of the state em
ployment office here show.
Contrary to other post war
years when work was plentiful
and employment changes were
frequent, this year's scarcity of
work is thought by employment
officials to be the result of last
winter's long shutdown of mills
and logging camps, and a fear
that no other work will be ob
tained if the employee should
quit his present job.
A low lack of employment is
not being felt, with nearly ev
ery applicant for work during
the past winter placed in some
position. Few applications are
still on file. Likewise work re
quests are well filled, with few
job opportunities now available.

Fed by waters booming down from the
Cascades, two dams under construction
on the North Santiam River will feed new
power into lines of the Northwest Power
Pool in 1953. Located about 45 miles east of Salem,
Detroit and Big Cliff dams are scheduled to have their
first units in operation in 1953, provided necessary funds
are appropriated. Detroit will produce power early in
that year and Big Cliff by the end of the year.
These are but two of 20 multiple-purpose dams
authorized or proposed for construction here in
it ftnf.ia Hi, lift, iiYnUiinninw in, i
the Willamette Valley. Detroit
irfrm Dam will produce 100,000 kilo
watts of power and Big Cliff
16,000 kilowatts.
Even these and other major
power sources proposed for
development in the Pacific Northwest (a total of 10
million kilowatts) do not mean an immediate end to
our need for more electricity. Big plans take time, and
the next several winters like the last one may call
for sparing use of electric power. However, as the great
dams are built, adding new power little by little, the
demand will be met.
