Local Marine Wins
Praise of General
Washington, May 15 For success
fully completing his studies in the
aviation engines course as taught by
the Marine Corps institute at Wash
ington, D. C, Private First Class Le
Moin Cox of Heppner has been
awarded a diploma and has been
commended by Major General
Thomas Holcomb, the commandant
of the U. S. Marines.
Cox is now serving with the Ma
rines on board the battleship U. S.
S. Colorado, where he received his
award through his commanding of
ficer. He took up the study of aviation
engines in his spare time and de
spite his wandering about, he suc
ceeded in passing all examinations.
The commandant's letter of praise
read in part: "The major general
congratulates you upon your excell
ent work in completing this course."
Organized about 18 years ago, this
novel school of the marine corps is
helping the Marines to attain their
objective of the "best educated mil
itary service." Its work is carried
on by correspondence with Marines
as far away as China, Guam, Ha
waii, and the Philippines.
More than 8000 students have been
graduated from courses in the arts,
trades, and sciences which are of
fered to all Marines who desire to
further their education while serv
ing with the "soldiers of the sea."
Prior to joining the Marines, Cox
made his home with his father, El
bert L. Cox of Heppner.

Sacramento, May 26; Medford, May
29; Hood River, May 31, and Yakima,
June 1. The Medford meeting will
be in the Jackson county courthouse
at 11 o'clock, and the Hood River
meeting will be in Pythian hall.
Growers of all major winter pear
producing areas in three states took
part in developing the modified pro
gram and subsequently requested
the hearings.
If the proposed argeement is
adopted it will be continuous unless
revoked, rather than being in oper
ation for just one year. Provisions of
the proposed program include reg
ulation of shipments by grades and
sizes, federal-state inspection of all
pears in interstate or foreign com
merce, and the establishment of an
administrative committee of 12 mem
bers to handle the program.
If the proposal is approved by the
secretary following the hearing, the
agreement will be submitted to
handlers for their signatures. Grow
ers will be called upon to vote in a
referendum on issuance of an or
der which would make terms and
conditions of the agreement applica
ble to all handlers. Approval of two
thirds of the growers by number or
volume is necessary in such a ref
erendum to the issuance of such an
order.
Crop insurance is beginning to
look more important in Oregon than
anybody had believed possible when
it was offered last year. The extend
ed dry season has greatly destroyed
the chances for much of the spring
