Orange Juice Retains
Vitamin C Over Night
Orange juice held over night for
use at breakfast may not' taste as
good as that freshly made, but it
will have just about s much vitamin
C content, says Lucy A. Case, nutri
tion specialist of the OSC extension
service. In reviewing an experiment
made by the U. S. bureau of home
home economics, Miss Case points
out that orange juice loses only about
10 per cent of its vitamin C content
while stored 24 hours in a refrig
erator. After the first day of storage, there
is a gradual loss of this vitamin,
known scientifically as ascorbic acid.
For the experiment, oranges were
treated as they commonly are in the
home. The juice was extracted on a
glass reamer, the seeds removed with
a wire strainer, and the juice stored
in loosely covered containers in a
refrigerator.
Although oranges and other citrus
fruit contain some of the other vit
amins and certain minerals, it is for
their vitamin C that they are espec
ially valued by nutritionists. This,
the most easily destroyed of all the
vitamins, is one in which diets are
often low. It is needed every day be
cause the body can store very little
of it.
Those who choose to get their
vitamin C from oranges and grape
fruit, plentiful on the market re
cently, may count on getting a day's
supply of it from half of a medium-
sized grapefruit or one large, juicy
orange.
Supplies of oranges and grapefruit
this year have been the largest ever
produced in this country. For this
reason the secretary of agriculture
has designated both of these fruits
as surplus farm commodities.
Oregon Man to Speak
On National Broadcast
Will Steen, chairman of the Ore
gon state AAA committee, will rep
resent the western division of the
Triple-A on a national broadcast
from Washington, D. C, Tuesday,
July 11. The program, to be heard
in the west at 8:30 a. m. over station
KEX, will deal with the general sub
ject of "Agricultural Problems That
Farmers Are Solving with the Help
of the AAA." State committeemen
from Kentucky, Georgia, Maine, and
Ohio will report for their sections of
the country.
Steen plans to explain a farm prob
lem typical of the western division
and tell what farmers, working thru
the AAA, are doing to meet it. The
broadcast will be a feature of the
National Farm and Home hour and
is made possible by the fact that
state chairmen and state executive
officers will be in Washington at
that time for a conference to obtain
farmer suggestions for the 1940 farm
program.
N. C. Donaldson, state executive
officer of Oregon stationed at Ore
gon State college, will be the other
Oregon representative at the con
ference.
State Economic
Picture Roseate
Washington, D. C. (Special to the
Gazette Times from our Washington
D. C. Bureau) Here is the economic
picture of Oregon as quoted by one
of the gigantic lending agencies of
the government:
Basic and general factors affect
ing real estate are strikingly favor
able in Oregon. Rent-paying capac
ity is expanding; rentals are mov
ing upward; relief load is lighter;
costs of building lower; residential
activity increased; iarm income
greater; bank debits expanded com-
last spring. Only discordant note is
the increase in number of foreclo
sures. Employment and payrolls
trend is steadily upward.
Seven drivers with physical de
fects were involved in traffic acci
dents during May, 1939, compared to
ten such drivers during the month
of May, 1938, Earl Snell, secretary
of state, said today. Snell pointed
out that in the interest of safety
prospective drivers in this state are
required by law to take tests in the
event physical defects are present.
Gazette Times, Heppner,
County Pomona
Meets at Cecil
MARY LUNDELL, Reporter
Although fewer in numbers than
in some previous Pomonas, the
meeting at Cecil Saturday was un
usually interesting and indeed en
joyable to those in attendance, and
even though the season was a busy
one, all granges in the county were
represented.
Those having attended the state
grange meeting held in Corvallis in
June, reported the best attended and
well handled conference held in re
cent years. Facilities on the cam
pus and in the city are especially
adapted for taking care of crowds
as both the fraternity houses and
homes in the city are prepared for
housing students. Evereyone was
comfortably located with sufficent
room for many more.
Business sessions, interspersed with
singing and entertainment features
were most agreeably and well or
ganized as to time and place of
committee meetings and reports.
The state session for 1940 will be
held in Salem.
A resolution opposing the ship
ping of crap iron and other war
materials to Japan, stated briefly
as follows, was endorsed by Pomona:
Whereas, the Morrow County Po
mona grange desires to promote
peace among nations and condemns
the shipping of such materials as
may be manufactured into instru
ments to be used for the infliction
of death and destruction upon in
nocent persons, and
Whereas, the cessation of such
shipments would, in our judgment
do much to prevent further suffer
ing of millions of innocent non
combatants, Be it resolved, that proper gov
ernmental and private authorities
be urged to take such action as may
be necessary to prohibit such ship
ments. The following lecturer's program
was presented: Song, "God Bless
America;" agricultural talk, "Weeds,

Pomona grange is sponsoring a
contest among the subordinate
granges beginning with the October
meeting. Purpose of the contest is
to stimulate a better attendance at
Pomona meetings. A prize of $20.00
will be given the winning grange.
An organization of young folks
including grange members between
the ages of 14 and 35 has become
widespread over the state, Y. G. A.
groups appearing in at least three
fourths of the counties. Morrow
county has not organized her young
people, but is looking forward to
Young Grangers of America groups
in the near future.
The real purpose of the Y. G. A.
is to supply a place of interest for
the younger members, especially
those who are just out of school and

Important to every motor car buyer is the fact
that Chevrolet, first in passenger car sales, is
also first in motor truck sales, because truck
buyers select the trucks that pay the greatest
returns. t
The same qualities that distinguish Chevrolet
trucks exist in equal degree in Chevrolet pas
senger cars. You may choose your Chevrolet
solely for its beauty, comfort, or performance
but you will get in addition that all-important
extra value.

days.
We take this opportunity to thank
the ladies of the Home Economics
club who were responsible for the
two delicious meals for Pomona
meeting. We especially thank Mrs.
Elsie Peterson and Mrs. Roxy Krebs
who worked so faithfully, and their
helpers.
The next Pomona meeting will be
held in the Lexington hall with the
Lexington grage as host. The date
is October 7. At that time officers
for the years 1940-41 will be elect
ed. Willows grange will exemplify
the degree of Pomona.
Salesmen apparently are sold on
traffic safety, Earl Snell, secretary
of state, said today. During May
this year, salesmen were involved in
19 per cent less accidents than dur
ing the same month a year ago.
Eugene became the only city in
Oregon to institute a "100 Deathless
Days" contest in traffic safety this
year, it was announced by Earl
Snell, secretary of state, todayThe
contest there is being sponsored by
a morning newspaper.
