PROJECTS DISCUSSED City Mall, Street Lighting, Water Rates Among Suggested Projects Worthy of Club's Attention. A war against depression started by Heppner post American Legion as a part of a nation-wide cam paign gained the support of the Lions club at its Monday noon luncheon when Earl Eskel'son, Charles Swindig, Gene Ferguson, J. H. McCrady and J. J. Nys were appointed as a committee to coop erate with the Legion committee in planning the attack. Paul Marble, Legion commander, outlined the campaign and suggested partlcipa of the Lions club as one of a num ber of projects suggested by mem bers to which the club might give its attention. The meeting was giv en over to the suggestion of pro jects and methods of Increasing the ' value of meetings. Mr. Marble told of the national Legion campaign having as its goal obtaining of work for 1,000,000 peo ple now out of employment. He xe plained that the plan to be followed locally is to visit all residences and business houses of the city for the purposes of listing odd jobs, and to encourage the giving of odd jobs that may be needed to be done In order to eliminate rubbish' piles or fire hazards and generally improve the appearance and value of prop erty. The details of carrying out the campaign and the method of at tack to be used will be worked out by the joint committee. Fublic Burial Cited. Another suggestion in line with the campaign was a public burial for Old Man Depression. Such a ceremony has been carried out suc cessfully in other places. The matter of endorsing the con struction of a building to house the city council chambers, library and Are truck was submitted as a sug gestion. That a concrete building large enough to house these city functions and properties could be built for a sum the interest on which would not exceed the amount now paid In rentals for various quarters had been estimated by a member of the city council, it was said, and invesitgation revealed an estimated cost of $2560 for such a building. It was suggested, that the Lions club might endorse the project because the building is needed to improve existing condi tions, because it could be built economically at present, and be cause it would help relieve the Un employment situation. Streets Given Attention. Other suggested projects Includ ed working for improved street lighting, cleaning up back alleys, Improving city streets, making Heppner more attractive to out side people, encouragement of a more sympathetic attitude between the business interests of Heppner and rural communities, adjustment of water rates.

OUTLOOK FOR 1932 VARIED ON FARMS Annual Report from O.S.C. Shows Uncertainty; Much Depends on World-Wide Events. "The 1932 crop season is making a rather favorable start in Oregon so far as nature is concerned, but will depend much upon world-wide prices for farm products In 1932 economic and political events which cannot be entirely forseen,"' says the annual agricultural outlook re port just released by the Oregon State college extension service. Pointing out that the general level of farm prices Is now only about one-half as high as from 1926 to 1930, and scarcely two-thirds as high as from 1910 to 1914, the re port attributes this situation prin cipally to weak foreign and domes tic demand. There was overpro duction of some farm products and under-production of others, but the gross volume of agricultural pro duction was not much more or less than from 1920 to 1930. "Substantial improvement In do mestic demand for farm products is not to be expected until credit conditions become more favorable, and there is a revival in industry There is very little definite evi dence of significant improvement In the near future in the foreign demand for agricultural products from this country," says the report. Industrial Revival Watched. Factory payrolls in this country in November were only 56 per cent of the average from 1923 to 1925 at the same season, and unemploy ment in some industries was even greater. Signs of more than sea sonal improvement in such basic In dustries as iron and steel, automo biles, and construction, which con sume largely non-agricultural raw materials, will be evidence of the approach of improvement in do mestic demand for farm products, according to the report Considerable space in the report is given to an analysis of the cost outlook. Including credit taxes, la bor and commodities used in pro duction and living. The unfavor able relationship between farm cash Income and the cost of oper ating farms which has prevailed for several years, is expected to continue in 1932, although some inv provement in some items seems likely. "Poultry keepers who follow a well defined program are justified in rearing sufficient young stock to operate their present equipmant although present economic condi tions do not justify plunging or ov er-expansion of the poultry Indus try," says the report The outlook' is for a smaller supply of fresh eggs in 1932 than in 1931, unless production per hen should exceed the large figure in 1931. Number of chickens on farms January 1 was estimated at 5 per cent under a year previous, but Information on chick hatchings will only become available from month to month during the season. More Cows Being Milked With respect to the dairy situa tion, the report says there are too many cows In the whole country and that the number of young stock being raised is still excessive. The number of cows in the United States is estimated to be 3 5 per cent greater than a year ago and 6.4 per cent more than two years ago. More heifers are on hand than needed for replacements. The im portance of reducing the cost of production, improving the quality of the products, and making Ore gon dairy stock more attractive to California buyers is emphasized. The economic position of the beef cattle Industry appears to be more favorable at present than hogs and sheep, although there has been an upward trend in - cattle numbers since 1928. Despite a sharp falling off in the export demand for hog products, the number of hogs In the United States has been increased 9 per cent during the past year. Cheap wheat and feed grains have Stimulated hog production. Sheep Herds Expanded. The sheep population of the coun try Is 50 per cent greater than at the low point 10 years ago, but no Increase is expected in the lamb crop this spring because of unfa vorable conditions in the western states. The size of the crop will, of course, depend somewhat upon weather conditions during the next three months. The importance of measures for increasing the de mand for lamb and wool were also discussed in the report The honey outlook says that pros pects are favorable for a good flow of nectar in 1932, but the general condition of bees is less satisfactory than usual. Although exports have declined sharply, domestic sales have been Increased by grow, ers who marketed much honey lo cally, and the 1931 crop was the smallest In several years. The complete outlook reports for Oregon are now available from any tounty agent. ATTENTION MEMBERS.

FORM UNITED FRONT IMflINT DIE IN COUNTY Everyone Urged to Enlist in War on Depression; First Guns Fired. MILLION MORE JOBS IS NATIONAL GOAL Restoration of Confidence and Normal Buying Expected Result. "One Million Wage Earners Back to Work!" That is the battle cry of the War Against Depression officially de clared Monday which will be waged through 10,800 local committees in every city, town and hamlet in the United States for the purpose of reestablishing public confidence and securing resumption of normal buying. Sponsored nationally by the American Legion, American Legion auxiliary, the Association of National Advertisers and the Amer ican Federation of Labor, the ban ner has been hoisted over a united front in Heppner with the joining of forces of the Business and Pro fessional Women's club, Lions club, Elks, American Legion and auxil iary, together with the governor's unemployment committee and the Central Committee for Unemploy ment Relief, representatives of which organizations met at Hotel Heppner Wednesday afternoon to start the preliminary organization. Further organization of the local army and formulation of the meth ods of attack will be made at a general committee meeting tomor row morning at 9 o'clock, at Hotel Hepnper dining room. Carried on nationally with the Idea of securing permanent employ ment for unemployed men and wo men through urging every employ er of labor to put at least one addi tional wage earner to work, it will be the aim of the local army to ob tain as much permanent employ ment as possible, also. But lacking payroll industries which afford the opportunity of securing permanent jobs, locally an effort to create as many odd jobs as possible is to be made, as in that manner only, it is believed, can Morrow county's 250 unemployed be given relief. Therefore it is being urged that people think and talk the matter over; think and talk over the op portunity of making needed im provements at this time when build ing costs are the lowest in years; consider the matter of cleaning up premises, painting, papering, lev elling yard3, making gardens, plant- ' lng lawns and the thousand and one things that are needed to be done. Then fill out the questionnaire ap pearing on another page of this Is sue of the Gazette Times, letting members of the local committee know, when you are called upon, what jobs you are willing to have done now to assist in waging the war against depression. In recog nition of your enlistment in the cause, you. will be presented with a service star which you may be as proud to display as were those mothers and fathers whose sons and daughters served their country in the great war. To further analyze local condi tions and see what opportunity there may be of future employment for those now out of work the pre liminary plans of the committee in clude a survey of the country dis tricts for the purpose of ascertain ing the amount of help that will be required to take care of spring and summer work on the farms. It Is believed that much relief will be given the local situation through absorption of local unemployed in farm work. It Is believed that the entire country will be benefitted by the drive and that there will be no fa vored class. Employers can help by providing employment; wage earners can help by normal buying and refusing to be hoarders.
