AAA Head Reports
On Defense Highways
State and local units will have to
help bear Jhe expense of highway
construction contemplated under the
defense program, reported Ray Con
"way, manager of the Oregon State
Motor association, upon his return
from Automobile Club conferences
in the east.
The motor club executive said
that President Roosevelt had asked
congress for an' appropriation of
$125,000,000 to be used for highway
and bridge construction made neces
sary by the national defense pro
gram. Of this total, $100,000,000 will
go for building roads giving access
to army camps and cantonments, de
fense industry plants, and so on. It
is expected that the federal govern
ment will use this sum wherever
needed without regard to the usual
method of apportionment of public
funds (usually based on federal ow
nership of land within state boun
daries). The remaining $25,000,000
to be used for the strengthening of
bridges and widening roads in key
strategic areas, however, will proba
bly be offered to the states on a
"matching" basis the state to put
up one dollar for every dollar the
federal government advances.
The total over-all cost of building
necessary access roads is placed at
$350,000,000 of this more than $50,
000,000 has already been financed
through WPA, federal-aid highways
and by state or local contributions.
Another $200,000,000 would be met
by "readjustments" in highway pro
grams now authorized through fur
ther encouragement of local 'parti
cipation. Conway said that the president's
message to congress indicated that
the pressing need for immediate at
tention to strengthening bridges in
key military areas where present
structures are inadequate for the
army's rolling equipment and nec
essary widening in these areas would
be taken care of largely with cur
rently authorized funds.
How to Freeze Fruits,
Vegetables, Explained
Advance preparation of fruits and
vegetables for freezing is one of
the chief factors of success or fail
ure in the use of storage lockers,
says E. H. Wiegand, head of the
food industries department at Ore
gon State college, in the latest re
vised circular on "Freezing Fruits,
Vegetables, and Meats." This cir
cular, available from any county ex
tension office, contains general di
rections for handling foods in cold
storage and incudes a tabulated list
of fruits and vegetables with brief
directions for handling.
In general, fruits require no pre
liminary treatment except washing
and sorting. The exceptions are ap
ples, peaches, and apricots, which
require either pitting or peeling, and
even blanching to prevent brown
ing of the surface. Apples and pea
ches are also sliced for ease in han
dling and better absorption of sugar.
In handling vegetables scalding or
blanching is an essential step in the
freezing process. Unless treated in
this manner the vegetables will spoil
or change so as to be undesirable.
Various kinds of containers are
recommended by Professor Wieg
and, including glass jars which are
used in ordinary home canning op
erations. Lacauered . tin cans with
slip tops may be obtained and these
are usable year after year. Waxed
paper containers are suitable for
use once, but are not safe to use a

Dairymen Sit Well
To Increase Output
Oregon dairy farmers are in an
excellent position this year to sup
ply their share of the increased pro
duction of dairy products for na
tional defense, believes John Shep
herd of Scio, member of the state
AAA committee. Secretary Wickard
recently called for a one-third in
crease in the production of evapor
ated milk and one-fourth increase
in cheese production. .
Nature, the farmers own efforts,
and the programs of the AAA have
all combined to aid in increased
production this year in Oregon,
Shepherd points out. Already de
veloped on a sound basis in this
state, the dairy industry this year
is favored by better pasture con
ditions than usual because of good
spring rams, and by more acres 01
better pastures. The soil-building
allowances of the AAA program
have enabled farmers to apply many
of the practices long advocated by
the extension service, such as lim
ing, use of phosphate fertilizers, and
the seeding of better grasses and le
gumes, says Shepherd.

and KEEP Your Credit GOOD
o Why become a credit outcast?
o Why lose your credit standing with your Merchant
and Doctor?
o Why jeopardize the greatest asset you ever had
Your CREDIT STANDING in your community.
o Stop, Think, don't forget when you asked for credit
you asked for a PERSONAL LOAN !
REMEMBER you asked for confidence when you asked for credit and you were not compelled to
sign a note or put up any kind of collateral as security. This is called a CHARACTER LOAN by
the Banks, so don't lose that confidence that your merchant or Doctor bestowed on you. Start now
to pay, part or satisfactorily arrange to pay on that CHARACTER LOAN. REMEMBER, you lose
your character and you lose something you may never regain. '
