Brand Inspectors,
Deputies Appointed
Complying with a new law, J. D.
Mickle, director of the state depart
ment of agriculture, recently has
appointed county and deputy brand
inspectors for every county of the
state. All eastern Oregon counties
and three western Oregon counties,
Douglas, Josephinle and Jackson,
must have out-of-county brand in
spection, as well as the out-of-state
brand inspection which is necessary
in all counties. Horses, mules, asses
and cattle are inspected for brands,
Brand inspector appointed for this
county is C. W. McNamer.
Livestock owners, before shipment
is to be made, must furnish the
brand inspector or deputy a list giv
ing brands, age, sex, color, and flesh
marks. The inspector must then in
spect and check in such manner as
to enable him to observe distinctly
all brands, color, sex and markings.
Daylight inspection is required and
animals are to be driven into pens
in lots of five or less for brand in
spection. Brand inspectors may collect 10
cents per head up to 25 head and 3
cents per head for those in excess,
and 10 cents per mile one way for
travel. Four copies of brand certi
ficate must be made, the first to go
to the sheriff weekly, the second for
the bill of lading, the third for the
files of the common carrier or hauler
and the fourth for the brand inspec
tor's reference file.
Inspection is to be made only as
outlined in the law, and not in
trucks, and failure to personally in
spect subjects the offender to a
$100 fine.
Any carrier or person who violates
the provisions of the act is subject
to a minimum fine of $250 and a
maximum fine of $2,500. '
Brand inspection blanks must be
marked "paid" across the face, oth
erwise the carrier is responsible for
the collection of the inspection fees
and failure to do so subjects him to
a $200 fine.
Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Huston re
turned home the end of the week
from Eugene where they visited
with theri daughter and family for

Gazette Times, Heppner,
Educators Ponder
Future Trends at
OSC Conference
A bright future, but not without
its problems, was forseen for adult
education and vocational education
and guidance by national and state
leaders at the fourth annual summer
conference on education held early
in July on the Oregon State college
campus. In a one-day institute on
educational policies held at the same
time, the Vital role of the public
schools in maintaining American
democracy was emphasized.
Adult education is at the cross
roads with some saying it should be
a part of the regular school system
and others that it should be han
dled as an entirely separate project,
Dr. Howard Campion of Los An
geles pointed out. Whatever adult
education has been made effective
through the use of well qualified
teachers, the public has readily ac
cepted it as a justifiable state ex
pense, he held.
Regarding vocational education
and guidance, Dr. Thomas Quigley,
professor in industrial education from
Georgia Tech, presented a strong
plea to keep intellect and action
united. When scholasticism is de
veloped for its own sake and action
is left to brute force, brutalized dic
tatorships are the inevitable re
sult, he held.
Somewhat the same idea was ex
pressed by Deari F. A. Gilfillan, head
of the O. S. C. school of science, who
said that "science in overalls and
proud of it" is the slogan of the best
science teachers today. Science edu
cation may be used to promote men
tal discipline and clear thinking
while meeting practical human prob
lems, he added.
Chancellor F. M. Hunter led the
institute on educational policies
which was one of six held in Ore
gon. He and other national leaders
held that the relationship of educa
tion to the continuance of an Amer
ican democratic society is vitally im
portant at present.
The nation, perhaps the whole
world, is looking to the teaching
profession to see that the public
school serves as the bulwark of our
democratic idea, said Dr. Charl Or
mond Williams, director of field ser
vice for the National Educational
association. Dr. Williams added that
there is no group in any social or
der so potent as its teachers in build
ing ideologies. Democracies, no less
than the dictatorships, depend upon
their schools and their teachers for
their perpetuation.
Rural Homemakers
In Oregon Found
Good as Leaders
Oregon rural homemakers rank
high among those in the entire Uni
ted States in their ability to provide
community leadership in home ec
onomics work, reports Mrs. Azalea
Sager, state leader of home econ
omies extension, upon her return
from attending the thirtieth annual
convention of the American Home
Economics association in San An
tonio, Texas. Mrs. Sager was able to
attend the convention as the offi
cial delegate of the Oregon Home
Economics association of which she
is vice-president.
A comparison of Oregon activities
in home economics extension with
those in other states was obtained
in a preliminary three-day confer
ence of extension workers held at
Corpus Christi. There she found that
Oregon is outstanding for her rec
ord for using local project leaders,
although this plan is being used ef
fectively to supplement leadership
by specialists in other northern and
western states.
In the season just ended there
were 2351 local leaders active in the
program in the nine Oregon counties
where home demonstration agents
are maintained, Mrs. Sager reported.
These local leaders, usually work
ing in pairs, put on 2110 community
demonstrations of improved home
making practices In each case they
previously had received training in
this work from the demonstration
agents and specialists from the col
lege.
Attendance at these demonstra'
tions handled by local leaders to
Oregon
taled 55,291. This record nearly
equalled that of the meetings held
by the trained agents themselves.
Agents and specialists in these same
nine counties held 2496 meetings at
tended by 84,620 persons. Many of
these local project leaders are now
even assisting in neighboring coun
ties where home demonstration ag
ents are not maintained.
While in San Antonio, Mrs. Sager
appeared on a radio program over
an extensive network with a group
of national leaders which included
Mrs. Ruth Judy Bond, president of
the American Home Economics as
sociation, and Mrs. Helen Atwater,
editor of the Journal of Home Ec
onomics. KOAC Announces
10th Study Program
Oregon State College Advance
notice of the 10th annual series of
KOAC radio study club programs
for the coming fall and winter sea
son has just been given by the gen
eral extension division, which is in
charge of the program service of the
state-owned station located on this
campus. Personality problems will
be the subject of the study club pro
gram for 1939-40, with Dr. Eliza
beth Montgomery, assistant profess
or in the school of education at the
University of Oregon, as the chief
lecturer.
Any group of friends or neighbors,
or any organization, may enroll as a
radio club by contacting KOAC.
Program outlines, report blanks and
other aids are then supplied regu
larly to the club without charge.
Such a group meets where there is
a radio, conducts preliminary busi
ness, then listens to the radio pro
gram for half an hour. After this the
study group discusses the subject of
the day and makes a written report
to the station, which may include
questions which club members want
answered.
Captains Dunne and McClees,
state policemen from Baker, were
business visitors here last week.
Frosts Halt Hoppers in Gilliam
Condon Late spring frosts which
damaged grain in some sections of
central and eastern Oregon had
some beneficial results, according
to William Marshall, county agent of
Gilliam county. Threatened grass
hopper invasions in the Trailfork
section of the county were effect'
ively checked by the cold weather.
Poison bait materials which were
on hand to fight the hoppers have
been stored for use next year if
necessary. Mormon cricket control
