C Praise for his ability as a student was recently given to Corporal LeMoin Cox, for merly of Heppner, who completed the difficult selected subjects course, as taught by the Marine Corps in stitute here. Accompanying the dip loma was a complimentary letter from Major-General T. Holcomb, commandant of the corps. Corporal Cox is now stationed at the Naval Air Station, San Pedro, California, and despite his various military duties, found the necessary time to study for and successfully pass all examinations. The Marine Corps institute was established about 20 years ago with the purpose of presenting free text books and courses to all ambitious marines desiring to improve their spare time with study. The insti tute offers a wide variety of courses, including many of the arts, trades and sciences. General Holcomb's letter to Cor poral Cox read in part: "The Major- General Commandant congratulates you upon your excellent work in completing this course." Corporal Cox is the son pf E. L. Cox of Heppner, and prior to enter ing the Marine corps on September 19, 1936, made his home there. Country Editors Aid Farm Progress The importance of the country ed itor in the progress of American ag riculture is emphasized by M. L, Wilson, national director of the ex tension service, who was recently in Oregon to attend a western exten sion conference. "It is no exaggeration to say that the partnership of the county agent and the country newspaper editor has, within the past 30 years, brot about a revolution in farm methods," said Director Wilson in a recent statement in connection with Nation' al Newspaper week. Wilson pointed out that when the county agent entered the agricultur al picture some 25 years ago, he leaned heavily on the country edi tor from the earliest days. Usually the work of the county agent made good copy and it was freely used by the country papers. The emphasis of the county agent through the press has been on sound, approved farm ing methods. The result has been an outstanding achievement in practic al education which ranks high in America's social history, said Wil son. The country papers have assisted the county agents in their work, which last year included the con ducting of 700,000 demonstrations on farms and in country homes. More than 1,381,000 country boys and girls in 4-H club work carried on nearly 2,000,000 projects last year. cm? one GLEE Don't repeal a law which hat prevented milk strikes, violence, unsanitary practices, and price discrimina tion; which is NOW giving Oregon one of the world's finest milk supplies.
