Approximately 14,000 Oregon op

In our state we have a huge pow
er project with which we are all fa
miliar Bonneville dam. The waters
of the Columbia come flowing down
their channel toward the sea, un
harnessed, carefree. Then suddenly
they meet this huge barrier, built by
man. They are halted in their race,
and released again only as man di
rects. Rains and melted snows may
give the Columbia the force of a
giant or days of dry, weather may
sap its strength but through Bon
neville's spillways flow even streams
of water, released at man's direction
from the mighty reservoir stretch
ing miles upstream.
We have long known how to con
trol our streams and rivers through
use of such reservoirs, making wa
ters work for us the year 'round with
tireless efficiency. It is unfortunate
that we who make our living from
griculture have not always secured
similar balance in some of the
other changing forces which affect
our daily lives.
Crops which we grow are like the
waters of the river sometimes more
than can be used, sometimes less.
Until now we have disregarded the
need for an agricultural reservoir
which would smooth out the flow
of farm products just as the Bonne-
EVER-NORMAL GRANARY' SAID SIMILAR
N FUNCTION TO BONNEVILLE LAKE
ville reservoir smooths out the flow
of the Columbia.
Now we have such a reservoir. We
call it the "ever-normal granary."
Applied to the nation's wheat crop,
the ever-normal granary smooths
out the flow of wheat from farm to
market, eliminating both floods of
wheat from bumper years and scar
city of wheat during lean years.
Under the AAA ever-normal gran
ary plan, surplus wheat is removed
from the market and held against
the day when there will be a de
mand for it, just as flood water is
held behind the dam against the
day of drought when needed.
In three major ways is this ef
fected: First, surplus wheat is stored in
the bin on the farm, in the elevator,
or in the terminal market, and gov
ernment loans give farmers imme
diate cash income so that they need
not sell on overloaded markets.
Second, crop insurance policies
guarantee farmers wheat each year
regardless of possible crop failures.
Third, through acreage allotments,
land not needed for growing wheat
is taken out of production and . its
fertility saved for future use in
stead of being wasted by growing a
surplus.

BPW COMPLETES
YEAR'S ACTIVITIES
Election, Convention Reports
Feature Final Meeting; Move
Against Women Working Told
Heppner Business and Profession
al Womens club under the leader
ship of Rose Leibbrand completed
its year of club activities with a pot
luck dinner at the home of Mrs,
Elizabeth Dix on Monday, May 22.
There were eleven members and
two visitors present. The members
Clara Beamer, Maude King, Lorena
Jones, Mary Lou White, Neva Neill,
Ealor Huseon, Lulu Hager, Eliza
beth Dix, Rose Leibbrand, Leta
Humphreys, Lucy Rodgers. Visit
ors: Miss Cornelia Nordstrom and
Mrs. Noble.
Elizabeth Dix, Clara Beamer and
Rose Leibbrand attended the state
convention of Business and Profes
sional Women at Corvallis the first
week in May and brought home very
interesting reports. Clara Beamer,
who was one of the legislative chair
men, gave an excellent resume of
the work of that department. Mrs.
Rose Cunningham, national vice
president, was the leader of the leg
islative discussion group and she
brought to the attention of the club
women that there is a great under
current of discrimination against
women working. This is evidenced
by the fact that no less than 18
states this year presented bills in
their legislative assemblies that were
discriminatory against women. The
state of Alabama passed a law which
prohibits a married woman to be
gainfully employed. A bill presented
to the Utah legislature provided
that if the family income amounted
to $850 or more per year no woman
of that family would be permitted
to work for salary or wages. A bill
was introduced in another state that
had it been passed would not have
permitted any woman , in that state
to own property or a business. In
several of these 18 states there were
measures brought before the legis
latures that would have deprived
girls and women of secondary and
higher education. Fortunately most
of the legislation failed but women
need to be on their guard and pro
tect themselves and their rights
against such vicious legislation. Mrs.
Beamer stated that all BPW mem
bers should see to it that candidates
for public office are sounded out
with respect to their attitudes to-
pward women who work, and that all
women make use of their rights of
franchise. The whole convention
centered around the problems of
legislation.
Rose Leibbrand, because she was
a candidate for state chairmanship
of International Relations, attended
the discussion group for that de
partment. This group discussed the
present neutrality act of our nation
and the amendments to thi3 act that
are before congress at present. Miss
Leibbrand stated that the group
recommended that the old neutral
ity act be scrapped and a new one
drafted that would cope with the
present neutrality problems and
that our congressmen be informed
as to the desires of our organiza
tion. Miss Leibbrand received the
election of state international rela
tions chairman.
Elizabeth Dix had the pleasure of
sitting at the president's table at
the banquet. She reported the music
contest as being excellent with Mc
Minnville club taking first place
and Hood River second. Bruce Bax
ter was the speaker at the Emblem
breakfast and used as his theme,
"Know God." He stated there is a
fpod deal of difference between
knowing about God and in actually
knowing God.
After these delightful and most
interesting reports the chief business
of the evening was the election of
officers for the coming year. The
report of Mrs. Ealor Huston, chair
man of the nominating committee,
was that our present officers had
been so efficient and so satisfactory
that their names be placed in nom
ination for re-election. The report
was unanimously adopted and the
officers for the coming year are:
Rose Leibbrand, president; Mary
Lou White, vice president; Lorena
Jones, secretary; Neva Neill, treas
urer. The committee chairmen will
be announced in the near future.
The members are looking forward to
the coming year and are eager to
give of their time and talents to
ward carrying out the ideals and
purposes of the Business and Pro
fessional Womens club.

are toward the center, perfectly balanced. The
car does not bob or dip and can have very
little sway.
These four points power, strength, safety,

value is in the things you do not readily see
quality of materials, precision of manufacture,
fundamental engineering.
