Cool Reception Mrs. Julia Koka St. Clair and her son.
Dolphy, 7, rest on the wheelbarrow which they pushed 1400
miles from Jacksonville, Fla., to Detroit, only to be refused
a room in a fashionable hotel. The "Miss Hungary of 1918"
complained that Detroit is unhospitable and also that there
was no official reception committee to greet her at the end of
her three-month journey. (Acme Telephoto)
Meat Prices Level Off;
I Consumer Demand Slows
Meat prices leveled off this week in many market centers after
rising for several weeks.
The slowdown in the advance was largely unexplained, but
some trade sources said consumer demand was dwindling because
of the high level of prices.
Furthermore, authorities in
the meat industry believe meat
will get increasing competition
the remainder of this year from
other commodities like television
sets, automobiles and housing
I he consumer s dollar can
spread only so far over the
things he wants, and the things
the consumer wants most come
first.
Brand Recording
Begins in 1950
Re-recording of 15,000 or
more Oregon livestock brands
will not be started until Janu
ary, 1950, announces M. E.
Knickerbocker, chief of the divi
sion of animal industry, state de
partment of agriculture.
He said some brand owners
are already sending in requests
to retain their brands, but asks
livestock owners to wait until
January when official forms for
re-recording of brands are mail
ed. At that time every current
owner of a brand will receive
at the last address of record, no
tification of renewal, an official
brand recording application
blank and blotter for impression
of the branding iron, together
with a digest of the brand re
cording law as amended by the
last legislature.
Under the amendments, the
recording fee was increased to
$5 and the re-recording period
changed from every 10 years to
very five years.

Odd Fellows
Arthur Girod, probably the
youngset man to serve Che
meketa lodge No. 1 IOOF, in
the capacity of noble grand, was
tendered a surprise birthday
party by his father, Henry
Girod, following this week's
regular session of the lodge. The
party was in recognition of his
21st birthday. -

The United States has large
quantities of manganese ore but
most of it Is so low grade that it
cannot be processed economically.
By
At the same time, the increas
ing production of poultry and
pork will tend to bring prices
down all along the line in the
meat division.
Effects of devaluation of the
British pound sterling and other
foreign currencies won't have
much impact on food prices at
retail.
The first sign of the Thanks
giving holiday season appeared
this week cranberries are back.
The house wife isn't much in
the mood for them, dealers re
port, and the demand is light.
Prices haven't fallen any as a
result, and dealers don't think
they will.
The first Maine and Canadian
potatoes also come to the mar
kets this week. Prices are about
unchanged. Western potatoes are
a little higher. .
The outlook for Florida cit
rus fruit is not too good from
the standpoint of the housewife.
Something like one-third of the
grapefruit crop was lost in the
recent hurricane.
Shortly after Oct. 1 shippers
expect a moderate supply to be
available, and prices will be
what they call "fairly high."
Oranges are in a little better
position, having lost around 5
per cent in the hurricane. While
there will be more oranges a-
vailable for the market, makers
of juice concentrates are plan
ning to take a larger share than
ever before. That means fewer
whole oranges will get on the
grocery and fruit stand shelves
"Moderately higher prices"' are
anticipated.

SCHOOL DAYS
Dear Old Golden Rule Days readin 'n
writin 'n rithmetic, talk to the tune of a
hickory stick remember?? I'm just too
old, mean, ornery and tough for the stick
deal but next Monday at 9 a.m. I go to
school. Seems like all the boys who sell
Real Estate have to be smart: so. if I nasi
this test I'll be a smart fellow too. I had dreams of being
able to sit in an easy chair and make a lot of money without
much work when I took on this real estate deal, but I've
learned that the boys who bring in the bacon, don't do it by
wearing out the seat of their pants so I can't see much
chance of giving the old legs a rest.
But after 7 years at being behind the counter serving our
delicious FISH & CHIPS - STEAKS - FRIED OYSTERS
then for my rest period washing dishes and peeling spuds,
I'm glad to turn the operation of the restaurant over to my
wife she's a lot younger than I am.
After reading this advertisement, drive out and eat with us.
So long until next Saturday,

What makes Mom and Pop
such good
jfguys?
1--''' n "I
'"" "?-" ii ua nasi j.;tM
It boils down to this: Mom and Pop always doing some
thing for other people. If somebody in the neighborhood
is sick or in trouble Mom and Pop are right on the spot
to lend a band.
Pop say that Community Chest dollars do so many
different things for so many people that it makes him
feel like a piker. But nobody would call Pop a piker if
they saw the generous pledge he writes for the Red
Feather services. And Mom is right there egging him on.
Once, when a man asked, "What good does the Com
munity Chest do?" Pop reeled off a couple of dozen
Red Feather services, covering everything from care of
the babies and help for the sick to reducing juvenile de
linquency. Pop says it costs money to send out visiting nurses
and keep recreation centers going day after day the year
round. He says that nobody yet has found a way to make
hospital beds out of thin air or to feed kids in children's
homes without groceries. Pop dares anybody to show
him how the youth agencies, or the health services, or
the family organizations can provide the valuable help
they do unless they've got some money coming in.
Pop says anybody is a good guy who keeps such good
work rolling by giving his full share for Red Feather
services through the Community Chest.
