in 13
other western states in mark
ing National “ Make It Yourself
w ith Wool" Week, Governor Paul
Patterson has announced in a
proclamation setting aside the
week of August 22 for the ob
servance.
The event spotlights the im por
tance of wool in the state s econ
omy and focuses attention on the
eighth annual “ Make It Yoursell
w ith Wool" home sewing contest
— a competition sponsored each
year by the nation’s wool growers
to develop young women's inter
est in the art of home sewing.
“ The first sheep were brought
into Oregon in 1811 by a sailing
vessel from Boston, but the
foundation of Oregon’s sheep in
dustry was the driving of about
450 sheep into Oregon from Cali-
fornia in 1843, at the instigation
of a group of Willamette Valley
settlers,’’ the Governor noted.
Wool Vital to Armed Forces
Oregon’s climate has always
been conducive to the raising of
sheep because of the moist air,
pure water and skilled labor
available in th» state, he added,
s‘ressing wool’s importance as a
strategic commodity in clothing
the U. S. armed forces.
“ January 1, 1954, farm inven
