Friday, Dec. 20, 1940 SOUTHERN OREGON MINER Page 6 Not Mudi Change In 1941 Rates As Approved By AAA Southern Oregon Miner Leonard N. Hall Published Every Friday at 167 ICast Main Street ASHLAND. OREGON Rates for farm benefit merits under the AAA for 1941, which are again urranged so us to place more emphasis on soil con­ servation, have been approved by the secretary of agriculture and announced for the guidance of ull local AAA officials throughout the country. Rates of importance to Oregon are in some cases slightly k>wei than were announced a year ago, although they ar«> on approximate iy the same level as actual pay meats this year. The previously I announced rates were reduced slightly because of heavier parti­ cipation in the program than an ■ ticipated, says Will Stern, state AAA committee chairman.

For weekly newspapers, today’s issue is the Christ­ mas edition and The Miner is mellowed by the occas­ ion. We enter the season with humility. For six years in Ashland, now and then, this little gem of journalism has possessed the temerity to scoif and scold our senior rival, the Daily Twiddlings. and the holiday would not be properly observed if we failed to make a confession: We never really meant those jibes and jests, puns and pointed remarks we hurled at our competitor— they were nothing more than our bedside manner, as the doctors would say. The daily paper is steadily improving, is giving readers a surprisingly better service. In acquiescence to the Christmas spirit we explain that The Miner really likes General George—we pick on him only because he makes it such fun. ★ ★ ♦ mechanic to magnate ,- from the business end WITH THE WORLD'S BEST LIVING STANDARD AND PAY, WE HAVE ALSO FULL FREEDOM TO WORK AT WHAT AND WHERE WE PLEASE:. —J fJI ü m I Ha­ lt) at the J.
