Official Paper for Morrow County
ANYWAY, 1934 WILL BE
DIFFERENT.
T XKING back on 1933, it has been
in many important respects the
most interesting year since the end
of the War. Beyond doubt the
forces which have been set In mo
tion during the year will prove to
be of the greatest importance to
everybody, although we think it is
too early for anyone to speak with
assurance as to what their end re
sults will be. We can safely say,
however, that radical changes in
the economic and social life of our
own people and of those of many
other countries have been inaugur
ated.
Even to mention the high spots of
the year's events would take col
umns of type. Beginning with the
inauguration of President Roose
velt, simultaneously with the Bank
Holiday and the Gold Embargo,
events have happened so swiftly
that they trod on one another's
heels. We had the piece of legisla
tion by Congress, establishing the
Agricultural Relief program, the
Industrial Recovery Act, the Bank
Deposit Insurance Act and giving
to the President unexampled pow
er. Then the Blue Eagle was hatch'
ed in the nest of the NRA, the Pub
lic Works Administration set up
followed by the Civilian Conserva
tion Camps and the Civil Works Ad
mniistration, In the effort to start
money to circulating and get busi
ness back to something like normal
And those are only a few of the
events for which 1933 will be re
membered.
In international affairs, beyond
doubt the most important thing was
America's abandonment of the gold
standard, though the most spectac-
ular event with which we were con
cerned was our recognition of the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics,
otherwise Russia. And in Europe
itself the outstanding event was the
seizure of the government of Ger
many by Hitler and his superiors.
We doubt whether 1934 will pro
duce any such list of spectacular
events. We don't care if it doesn't
We only hope and expect that it
will be a better year for business,
for agriculture, for industry. We
are sure only of one thing about it
it will be different
Of course, everyone has troubles
and we all wish things could be bet
ter, but a long face and a grouch
will not htlp one iota. A smile and
a cheerful mood will help more than
all of the frowns and grouching
that could be done. And certainly
life will be much more worth living
if we can smile and be cheerful.
THIS WILL NEED REGULATION
IT SEEMS to us that there is a
great deal to be said for the pro
posal which is under consideration
at Washington, to merge all the
lines of communication, which in
clude radio, telegraph and tele
phone, into one gigantic corpora
tion, under complete Federal super
vision. Nobody will deny that it is
a nuisance to have two telephone,
two or three different telegraph
companies, and so on. But so long
as they are under private control,
the danger of a monopoly is that
it will take advantage of its ex
clusive opportunity to increase rates
and reduce the quality of service.
A monopoly must be under such
Governmental discipline that the
interest of the public will not suf
fer. Whether or not the Govern
ment ought to own, or to operate,
these services, is a matter of opin
ion, on which there is violent diver
gence. There are some government-operated
telephone systems,

as in Great Britain and Italy, that
are highly efficient There are oth
er government -operated systems,
as in France and Germany, which
are highly inefficient. But there
can be no difference of opinion on
the need for Government regula
tion, it such a monopoly is 10 De
created.
We are starting out on a road so
new that we have got to make up
our maps as we go along.

States Receive Share of
National Forest Receipts
Road and school funds amounting
to $115,431.90 have been allocated
from national forest receipts to
Oregon and Washington, the forest
service announced today. This rep
resents 25 per cent of the receipts
for timber, grazing privileges and
other products and uses of the na
tional forests during the fiscal year
1933.
Checks totalling $650,860 are to be
sent out by the U. S. treasury to
thirty-one states and Puerto Rico
as their share in the distribution of
the 1933 receipts, according to the
announcement. The payments to
the states will be turned over for
local county road and school uses
in the counties Including the na
tional forest lands.
The grand total this year is some
what larger than last year, based on
a small increase in national forest
receipts, but it is less than in years
of large sales of timber. California
ranks first in volume of receipts,
with Washington second and Ore
gon third.
An additional fund representing
10 per cent of the national forest re
ceipts will be made available to the
forest service for the construction
of local roads and trails within the
forest boundaries.
Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Crawford
and the three boys were guests for
the day at the farm home of Mr,
and Mrs. Bert Palmateer near Mor
gan on Friday, where they enjoyed
a fine dinner, and visited Mrs. Hen
ry Beers and daughter Erma of Es-
tacada, who were spending the hol
idays at the Palmateer home. Mrs
Beers and Mrs. Palmateer are sis
ters. Near the Pedro place on the
way down the Crawford car struck
some ice on the highway and skid
ded into the ditch, but with no bad
results other than the delay caused
by getting the machine back on the
track again, following which Mr.
Crawford returned home and put
on the chains. Billy Pedro came
to the rescue with his team and
dragged the car from the ditch.

"Sleeping-Sickness"
Brings a shudder just to hear of
this terrible thing, doesn't it? But
we see it mentioned in the newspa
pers so often it must be on the in
crease in certain quarters. One in
stance when the medical profession
must keep its eyes open!
First noticed as an African mal
ady, caused by Infection from the
bite of the "tsetse" fly. The victim
sleeps himself to death no anti
dote known for the poison. . . . Our
American cases have been with few
exceptions, found in the large cities.
I have never read of a case in the
strictly rural districts. I never saw
a case and hope I may never meet
one. Were I limited to what we
KNOW about American sleeping
sickness, I might occupy a single
line in our favorite paper. . . .
If we just knew the cause! Ob
servers have told us it is a form of
meningitis that is, inflammation of
the coverings of the brain. From
here its deadly stupefying effect is
exerted on the "gray matter," put
ting the patient out of commission
in a state of coma, I should call it,
rather than sleep. Just a case of
poisoning of the brain, the center of
all intelligence! ... Of course there
is some elevation of temperature
the treatment, just sit by and watch
the smouldering Are go out. . , .
Look here: If you live in the coun
try and have country food coun
try meats and vegetables, count
yourselves fortunate indeed. For
this idea of "processing" everything
we feed upon, has gone into a craze,
with the almighty dollar at the bot
tom of it! Commercialism and
greed unholy, unhealthy twins!
God gives us food in plenty; may
He forgive manipulation for profit
Live in the country. Worry as lit
tle as possible. Eat of God's boun
ty in pure state. Drink of God's
brew pure water. LIVE NATUR

KOAC Retains Full Time;
Program Features Given
Corvallis. Further recognition of
the important position held by
KOAC, the state-owned radio sta
tion located at O. S. C, in the edu
cational field has been accorded by
the formal renewal of its present
unlimited license by the federal ra
dio commission. In renewing the
license the commission denied the
petition of a commercial group to
be assigned part of KOAC's time.
Market prices within a few hours
of the time they are established in
leading cities from Portland to New
York are available daily except Sun
day over KOAC. The government
market news service leased wire
brings these reports throughout the
day to the extension service at Cor
vallis. As soon as received they
are decoded and prepared for broad
casting.
The noon market broadcast thus
carries many of the closing livestock
and other exchange prices from
Chicago and New York as well as
reports of early trading along the
coast for that morning. Evening
broadcasts are also given. Farm
ers, cooperative organizations, and
private dealers urged the restora
tion of this service when it was
temporarily discontinued last sum
mer.
Fascinating stories of the Ore
gon country by the state's best
known authors and historians, ar
ranged especially for children be
tween the ages of 9 and 15 years,
form a new daily radio program
series just started over KOAC. The
series started Tuesday, January 2,
and will continue through March.
They come at 4:30 o'clock daily.
Some of the stories are true his
torical accounts, though most of
them are fiction. They have been
chosen for their story value and
thus constitute the most compre
hensive collection ever made of ju
venile stories dealing with the Ore
gon country.
Wid Palmateer and Earl Morgan
were farmers in the city Saturday
from the Morgan country. They
came to Heppner to enjoy the
spring-like weather here, somewhat
in contrast to the winterlsh condl
tions down their way, where there
was yet some three or four Inches
of snow over the grain fields.

Year-Round Garden Plan
Provides Food for Family
"I placed a valuation of $200 on
our garden, but it cannot be valued
in money when you consider the
fact that the income of the family
is not sufficient to budget $200 for
vegetables," says one Josephine
county homemaker in reporting on
"What Our Year-Round Garden
Means to Us." "To supply a family
of six with two vegetables a day
besides potatoes for 365 days a year
from your own garden is no small
achievement"
The year-round garden and food
preservation project is sponsored by
the state college extension service
in a number of counties to encour
age families to reduce living costs
and directions for canning and pre
serving are distributed by the home
economics extension service.
In Josephine county, where the
work is under the direction of Mrs.
Sara Wertz, home demonstration
agent 644 families were enrolled
this year. Of these, 156 homemak
ers reported to Mrs. Wertz that
they have canned and dried food
valued at $10,986.20 this year. This
included 10,780 quarts of tomatoes,
20,595 quarts of vegetables, 680
pounds of string beans, 8,560 pounds
dried beans, and 308 pounds dried
corn from their gardens, supple
mented with 31,200 quarts of fruit,
3,128 quarts of meat and fish, 624
pounds of dried pears and 318
pounds of dried apples.
In addition many of these fami
lies are still using carrots, parsnips,
turnips and many other vegetables
from their gardens, and have quan
tities of squash, onions, cabbage,
potatoes and such in storage cellars.

County Agent V. W. Johnson. One

Chemicals Kill Weeds.
Eugene The use of chlorates for
the control of noxious weeds and
other undesired plants such as dif
ferent species of blackberries and
poison oak, has given good results
in Lane county, and the use of the
chemicals is limited only by the pur
chasing ability of farmers, says O,
S. Fletcher, county agent. In spite
or reduced farm incomes, nine far
mers of this county bought 700
pounds of Atlacide, a commercial
chlorate weed killer, and 31 bought
2,320 pounds of sodium chlorate at
cost through the office of the coun
ty agent during the year ending

THE COURTHOUSE ON THE
HILL.
Coming up the street one night
I stopped on the hill to look around,
And just ahead was a lovely sight
Lovely as I've ever found.
Street and hill were white with
snow
And the courthouse windows were
alight.
A touch of the sunset's afterglow
To the hill gave added height.
A sight which thrilled me thru and
thru,
As worthy of an artist's brush
As any mountain or river view,
Of sylvan glade or cataract's rush.
Did those who planned that court
house
And placed it on the hill,
Overlooking the quiet town
Did they plan that thrill?
