Official Paper for Morrow County
The Right Spirit
COMMUNITY cooperation is a fine
thing, and an outstanding exem
plification of it was shown at the
Lions dinner here Monday evening
in which Lions of Athena and The
Dalles joined the local club in break
ing the bread of good fellowship
All too often in the past have
neighboring communities of the sec
tion competed with each other in
attempting to obtain improvements,
which had they been located in ei
ther would have reflected mutual
benefits; and by attacks upon each
other probably drove the improve
ment into another section where
neither were the least bit helped,
There are big opportunities for
development of the entire Columbia
basin region at present, what with
the big defense contracts being
awarded. We can already see the
big projects underway at Pendle
ton and in the vicinity of Hermis
ton, and we here in Morrow county
believe we have something mighty
good to offer as an inducement for
establishment of a munitions plant
in the north end. We should contin
ue relentlessly to work for it; but,
let us keep in mind that any devel
opment in the region will bring
markets closer for our wheat and
livestock, reflecting higher prices
for these industries which will al
ways remain the backbone of Mor
row county.
And so, we say, community coop
eration is a fine thing. It is whole
some to know men in neighboring
towns who are thinking of problems
similar to those faced at home; to
know that these men are human,
and that, in the final analysis,' all
have a common problem, the build
ing of empire the accomplishment
of which far outweighs petty jeal
ousies and animosities.
The fellowship of communities
as exemplified by the Lions dinner
here Monday evening shows the
right spirit--a spirit that is strongly
to be desired in building up strong
national unity in the present de
fense crisis.
OSC Orators Deal
With Problems of
Present Day Life
Oregon State College Three stu
dents here who recently won first
places in oratorical contests dealt
with three subjects of current lively
interest throughout the country.
Maxine Chin of Portland, an Amer
ican born Chinese, appealed for more
opportunities and understanding for
the American citizens of other races
who, while born here, are still con
sidered "foreigners."
Jane Steagall of Portland won
first place in the women's division
of the state Old Line oratorical con
test with a plea for better treatment
of the mentally ill. Clifford Culley
of Weston won first in the men's
division of the Old Line contest
with a discussion of how Americans
can help in the eradicaton of syph
ilis.
"We Who Are Without a Country"
was the -title of Miss Chin's oration
in which she recounted actual ex
periences of American-born Chinese
in seeking employment in this coun
try. bhe herself had been given
employment in a department store
as a special clerk but was suddenly
released when complaints were made
to the store that in hiring her
was "depriving an Amerian girl of
a job."
"We do not want nor expect you
to take us to your hearts as mem
bers of your own family or your own
social set," Miss Chinn explained
"We want only to be accepted as
Americans and to enjoy the privil
eges of Americans. . . . The present
situation cannot be untangled by ei
ther you or me alone, but through
cooperative action on your part as
well as mine." ,
Miss bteagall used the over
crowded and admittedly unsatisfac
tory conditions in the Oregon State
hospital as the basis for her oration,
but said that the problem is a na
tional rather than a local one, with
its basis in an ancient stigma against
mental disorders as compared with
physical dieases. She said that the
general public attitude toward those
committed remains one of ignorance
and indifference, the procedure of
commitment "outrageous and sense
less," and the remedial measures
hopelessly inadequate.
Some of the conditions cited have
just been dealt with by the legislature.
Standard Oil Offers

Number of Factors
Affect Egg Quality
Breeding, feeding, management,
and storage all affect egg quality,
which is so vital to the prosperity
of the Oregon poultry industry, say
Noel L. Bennion, extension specialist
in poultry husbandry, and F. E.
Price, agricultural engineer, at Ore
gon State college, in a new station
circular, No. 138, on "Factors Af
fecting Egg Quality."
Oregon's poultry industry has
been built on a quality basis more
than is the case in states farther
east, because of the necessity of
shipping so much of the state's out
put to markets thousands of miles
away. Even so, fewer than 60 per
cent of the market eggs produced in
the state qualify for the top grades,
a fact which indicates room for
much improvement, the authors
point out.
Because egg quality is inherited,
selective breeding is important.
Ways for improving this are dis
cussed in the bulletin. Feeding me
thods affect egg quality through yolk
color and strength of the shell. Man
agement plays its' part in the great
er percentage of clean and uniform
eggs where flocks are kept in de
sirable surroundings and where eggs
are handled properly.
After high quality eggs are pro
duced the kind of storage they are
subjected to can determine their
quality when they reach the mar
ket. Various types of coolers and
humidifiers for storage rooms are
described in the bulletin.
Pork Demand Points
To More Wheat Feed
With hogs at their highest market
level for several years and prospects
of continued demand for pork, Ore
gon producers have an opportunity
to convert low-priced wheat into
high-priced meat, judging from the
results obtained in surplus wheat
feeding experiments at the Oregon
experiment station.
Wheat has been fed to hogs in di
rect comparison with corn and other
feed grains at the stations and has
been found just as valuable pound
for pound. In one test the average
amount of feed required for 100
pounds gain was 369 pounds of corn,
and 364 pounds of wheat. Further
more, it was found that wheat-fed
hogs had firmer carcasses than corn
fed hogs shipped in from the corn
belt, which confirms the oft-repeat
ed opinion of Portland meat packers
that western wheat-fattened hogs
excel in this respect.
The tests carried on recently bear
out previous experiments to the ef
fect that the feeding value of ground
wheat and ground corn are equal
so far as average gains with hogs
are concerned, and that western buy
ers at least prefer the wheat-fattened
animals, say O. S. C. livestock
men.

BUSINESS
HAS ONE
on mo
In a school full of bright, self-respecting
students, there are very likely to be
one or two completely lacking in good
common sense. And that goes for busi
ness, too... particularly the beer retail
ing business.
Out of thousands of beer retailers
. who conduct respectable, law-abiding
businesses, there maybe a few "dunce"
retailers who disobey the law or per
mit anti-social conditions.
These few unwanted retailers are a
menace to the future of the beer in
dustry... and also of the benefits beer
has made possible. Right here in
Oregon, beer provides employment
for 13, 238 persons, supports an annual
payroll of $11,541,550 and contributed
$617,020.86 last year in state taxes.
It is the brewers' responsibility to
make good beer the retailers' responsi
bility to sell beer in wholesome sur
roundingsand the legally constituted
authorities' responsibility to enforce the
laws. All of these, working together
with the public, are needed to protect
the future of beer.
You, too, can help the cause of mod
eration by (1) patronizing only reputa
ble places where beer is sold; (2)and re
porting any violation you may observe
to the duly constituted authorities.
