New Tuberculosis Unit at
State Hospital Approved
; Preliminary plans for a new tuberculosis unit at the Oregon
state hospital, estimated to cost $275,000, were approved by the
board of control at a meeting Thursday.
Opening of the meeting was delayed 30 minutes while members
of the board met in executive session in the governor's office.
. When asked what transpired
at the meeting Governor McKay
said:
"We were just visiting. No
business was discussed."
Application has been made to
the federal government for an
allocation of one-third of the
cost from federal aid funds for
hospitals, it was stated.
The proposed building will be
two stories in heighth and built
of reinforced concrete. Approxi
mately 150 beds will be provid
ed for mental patients who are
affilicted with tuberculosis. The
state cost of the building will
be taken from the $2,000,000
building fund provided by the
last legislature.
Also approved at the meeting
were plans for conversion of the
superintendents' residence at the
state deaf school into school
rooms for 30 children up to six
years of age. The board pre
viously approved plans for a
new residence for the superin
tendent. A request of L. L. Laws, sec
retary of the state flax board to
make first payments to flax

the state penitentiary. The
0art payments authorized will
be $30 a ton for No. 1 flax; $24
a ton for No. 2 and $14 for No.
3. This payment represents ap
proximately 50 per cent of the
anticipated final price to the
growers, and in the event of . a
decline In the market price of
flax, the state would still be
amply protected, the board was
told.
Under an act passed by the
.1949 legislature, the board ap
proved reconveyance to the
Clackamas Flax Growers; the
Oregon Fiber Flax Growers and
the Mt. Angel Flax Growers cer
tain lands formerly owned by
these organizations. The lands
were conveyed to the state dur
ing WPA days in order that gov

to promote the flax industry.
'Miss Oregon' to
Attend Auto Races
The traditional American auto
racing custom of having a pretty
girl kiss the winner of a race as
she presents him with a trophy
may have to be suspended dur
ing the Hollywood Bowl road
ster racing program Saturday
night.
On hand for honorary starting
and trophy-presenting duties at
the American Legion conven
tion event will be Beverly Krue
ger of The Dalles, otherwise
known as Miss Oregon.
"But the kiss is out," Miss
Krueger said Thursday. "I
don't think my Miss America
contract would allow me to do
it. They have some awfully
strange clauses in that con
tract."
The former Salem girl will
enter the Miss America contest
in Atlantic City this summer.
But race drivers are all aware
that there's no law in their rule
book which would prevent them
from stealing a kiss from a beau
tiful lass who should happen to
stroll across the track with a
trophy under her arm.
Farmers Union Association
Supports Hospital Campaign
At a recent meeting the directors of the Farmers Union Health
association went on record giving their full support to the Salem
Hospital Development drive.
The original intention of the association was the building of
a hospital for its members, and others desiring service. They
purchased, and now own, a very
line hospital site ust off Com
mercial street in South Salem.
High construction costs of the
war years made building inad
visable in the opinion of the di
rectors. Now that public interest has
become aroused to the point of
actually doing something real
istic in the way of long-needed
community hospital expansion,
the health association believes
their most logical course is to
support the present drive. As
an organization devoted to co
operative Dlannine for health
services, they do this with con
fidence that these community
institutions will always remain
open to all groups.
This organization has always
stressed the need for the prac
tice of preventive medicine, and
any plan of prepaid medical care
for its membership. They be
lieve it is a better investment
of both money and effort to de
vote a majority of their activi
ties toward keeping people well
Their future policy will be to
develop clinic facilities and per
sonnel necessary to rendering an
adequate and efficient health
service.
County Wheat !
Acreage 13,530
Marion county's 1950 wheat
allotment is 13,530 acres. This
represents Marion county's pro
portionate share of the national
wheat acreage allotment of 68.9
million acres for the crop that
will be harvested next year, W
M. Tate, committee chairman
explains.
The national allotment is the
acreage that at normal yields
will produce an amount of
wheat which together with the
expected carryover next July 1
will supply contemplated do
mestic and export requirements
and provide a safe reserve.
"Individual farm allotments,
based on acreage and production
data collected over the past sev
eral months, have been estab
lished," Tate stated, "and no
tices to growers will be mailed
from the county office August
12. Any grower who is dissatis
fied with his allotment or who
was overlooked when allot
ments were established may ap
peal to the county committee
within 15 days or August 27.
Acreage allotments are not
an enforced limitation on pro
duction, but provide a limita
tion on government expendi-
tures for price support beyond
the national interest, Tate ex
plains. Only those farmers who
seed within their farm allot
ments will be entitled to price
supporting commodity loans or
purchase agreements on their
1950 crop.
"Although adverse conditions
during the growing season have
resulted in a smaller 1949 wheat
crop than expected earlier, this
year s harvest will still be the
third largest of record and the
sixth consecutive wheat crop in
eexcess of one billion bushels,"
Tate points out. "The average
yearly domestic consumption of
wheat is only 700 million bush
els, and only abnormally high
exports supported by ECA al
lotments and army purchases
for occupied countries has pre
vented the accumulation of
price-depressing surpluses."
Mr. Tate emphasizes that if
wheat growers comply with
acreage allotments thus adjust
ing production to expected re
quirements, it may be unneces
sary to use marketing quotas
for future crops.
