Outsiders hint that in practice the check ing stations in the bear state are an economic barrier rather than an organic one, that imports of perishables that would compete with California products are dis couraged and restricted for economic reasons. We must remember, of course, that plant diseases are carried past state lines, but it would appear that if purpose of the California checking stations is a sincere effort to control agricultural pests then the stations also would inspect and restrict the millions of tons of cull California fruits and vegetables shipped to outside districts. Oregon agriculture, particularly, suffers from the dumping on our markets of competitve culls and, if checking stations are to be the vogue, then this state could well adopt a practice of looking for bugs. The system seems to bring protection to home growers’ purses as well as to their plants. ★ riluiatlou or Inherited eullurr.

Realizing that we may be treading on toes of many readers’ preferences, the Miner would like to voice an opinion about religion as it is expounded today. We hasten to add, however, that our criticism con cerns the phraseology of the gospel’s exponents rather than their methods. Exactly why men who hold forth in the pulpit and incorporate the modern advantages of radio and at time of writing and should be presented in modern dress and fashion for modern people. Fortunately, there is an increasing number of preachers of the gospel who adopt no pompous, af fected speech for delivery of their messages. They speak directly, clearly and without frills, relying more on the meaning and moral sense to be conveyed for their effectiveness. r GRUNTSAND GRIMACES from the Ringside __________ By SCOOP__________ One of the greatest showmen who ever appeared in a wrestling arena was Al Karasick, recognized Russian lion, and in a late issue of The Ring magazine is an art icle about "Old Al” that should be of interest to local fans: "The appearance on the scene I of Al Karasick, the Russian lion, added considerably to the success enjoyed by the mat game in Ha- | waii. For it was Karasick who took over wrestling rights at the auditorium and staged some of the most sensational matches of the year. Karasick brought world- famous figures to Honolulu, in cluding the foremost wrestlers in the game today.” r A Unique . . . pART of our service is that it is trustworthy; we expect to fol low the Golden Rule, as friends made in this manner are lasting. r r We wonder what happened to the erstwhile scribe who a short time ago attempted some bally- hoo against wrestling. Since the appearance of the article in a lo cal paper, there has been a con siderable increase in attendance (from Ashland) at the Medford matches every Monday night. Maybe said scribe can take down his mighty pen and bring out a few more fans. rrr It’s Better to Know U» and Not Need Us Than to Need Us and Not Know Us STOCK & LITWILLER FUNERAL HOME We Never Close—Phone 32 d Frankie Peck's wrestling days are about over!
