Leaguers Meet Again
DACKED by a strong record of
meritorious service the Jastern
Oregon Wheat league started grind
ing out a new year's program at the
anual conference in The Dalles to
day. Preliminary committee sessions
at which recommendations will be
taken from county reports for fu
ture action on the floor are the or
der today. While this part of the con
ference is not spectacular, it is high
ly important; for in the committee
rooms is expressed the sentiment of
the "grass roots" that will later be
coordinated in the conference res
olutions. Tuday's groundwork will be fol
lowed tomorrow and Saturday by
enlightening addresses delivered by
leaders in all fields affecting wheat
production. Thus will the final con
ference reports and recommenda
tions be based not only upon the
expressed desires of the growers
themselves, but these desires tem
pered with the best information ob
tainable from highest sources.
It is this policy followed through
the league's history that has made
the Eastern Oregon Wheat league
such an effective instrument for
united action. But the policy alone
would not have been sufficient. The
fact of the effectiveness is largely
attributable to the high type of lead
ership that the league has command
ed and developed.
It is to Morrow county's credit
that this year's sessions will be pre
sided over by one of her own sons.
Through the last year, George N.
Peck has dignified the league's pres
idency with the same high concepts
of service and unstinted loyalty that
have marked his predecessors in of
fice. Again, Morrow county may
feel a kinship to the league's veteran
secretary, Chas. W. Smith, who start
ed in that capacity at the league's
inception when serving as county
agent here.
There is no need to say that the
league's destiny is in competent and
sympathetic hands. The record
speaks for itself. What should be
emphasized, however, is the need for
a personal and active interest of
every wheat grower in the league's
affairs. Not only should every grower
attend the conference sessions and
have his say, if at all possible, but
he should contribute the dollar
membership fee for another year.
The price is an investment and not
a gift
And what goes for the grower goes
for the business and professional
men of the wheat section as well.
For only as the farmer prospers does
business of the wheat area generally
prosper.

LOST CAMP GIVES DOCTOR LONG
TRAMP AND AN EARLY BREAKFAST
"I wasn't lost; the camp was,"
declared Dr. A. D. McMurdo in re
lating his hunting experiences of the
elk season just past before the Mon
day Lions luncheon.
The doctor went over on Cabje
creek in the Ukiah district early in
the season with his son Scott, F. B.
Nickerson and Owen Leathers.
Climbing back up the ridge from
the camp (they had a cozy cabin
belonging to Neil White), he sought
to find where the elk might be one
morning. He continued to hunt thru
the day separate from the rest of
the party, and as twilight settled
he decided to head for camp.
But where was camp, up or down
the creek? That he didn't remem
ber. He tried up the creek first, but
on coming to a barbed wire fence he
didn't remember having seen before,
he decided down was the right di
rection. He then went' down, a mile
or so and darkness had completely
set in. Again he decided he was
wrong, and turned back up the creek.
After going a short distance, he fired
a shot and was pleased to hear an
answering shot from above. That
convinced him.

the brush and along the abrupt
creek banks; so he decided to take
farther up the mountainside. In do
ing so he did not immediately be
come aware that he followed along
side a tributary canyon instead of
the main creek. Intuition, however,

Restricted Relief
Seen in State Report
That relief expenditures must be
kept within budgetary allowances of
counties and state was the policy
unanimously laid down by the meet
ing of the state relief committee in
Portland last Sunday, announces
Judge Bert Johnson. This includes
all types of relief, old-age assistance,
blind assistance and aid to depend
ent children.
Substantial reduction of caseloads
and relief expenditures is indicated
in Multnomah and a few other coun
ties, discussion with Governor Mar
tin revealed.
Defeat of the special tax levy by
Multnomah county voters at the Nov.
8 election, and reduction in funds
budgeted by certain counties, has
created a situation requiring that re
lief for employable persons shall be
provided on basis of temporary em
ergency care only, and will further
require that no new cases may be
accepted for old-age, blind or de
pendent children assistance in Mult
nomah and several other counties
until, and unless, additional funds
are made available.
All county committees have been
requested by the state organization
to begin immediately a review and
investigation of all relief and social
security cases, taking into account
all resources and funds available
for care in each program.
