Nutrition Group
Arranges Plans
For County Set-up
Though Oregon is unusually fav
ored in the matter of quality and
variety of food products produced
within its own borders, investiga
tions have shown that the health
and stamina of Oregon citizens can
be materially improved by greater
use of the findings of modern science
! : iU. l : 1 f e J
m ukt acievuun ciiiu. use iu ilhju hi
the home.
Such is the conclusion of the state
nutrition committee for defense
which at its latest meeting at Ore
gon State college arranged for a
comprehensive program of activity
for county nutrition councils for de
fense which will be organized soon.
State and county defense nutrition
committees have been charged with
the duty of contributing to what is
known as total defense in this coun
try. While at first defense was con
sidered to e concerned largely with
military man power and war equip
ment the present total defense plan
includes industrial defense and food
defense, the committee points out.
Each county council will include
such officials as the FSA home sup
ervisor the county nurse, if any,
the home demonstration agent, rep
resentatives of the Smith-Hughes
work in 'high schools, the county
school superintendent or rural su
pervisor, and representatives of the
Red Cross, PTA and leading farm
organizations. Following are the ob
jectives agreed upon toward which
the county councils will work:
1. To coordinate the efforts of all
organizations within a county on
nutritional problems.
2. Through a united effort in ed
ucation to reach all people in the
county to the end that their health
and welfare will be improved thru
better nutritional practices.
3. To encourage food habits which
will improve diets at all income
levels.
4. To promote wider distribution
and utilization of inexpensive foods
of high nutritional value, and use of
larger amounts of protective foods,
and to encourage home production
of foods.
5. To cooperate with other pro
grams for national defense.
6. To insure the use of authentic
information by utilization of sources
of material from Oregon State col
lege, the bureau of home economics,
children's bureau, and the medical
schoool..
Motor Club Proposes
4-Year Drivers License
The Oregon State Motor associa
tion proposed that the period of the
Oregon driver's license be raised for
two years to four years, when the
executive committee of that group
met in Portland last week.
"We are fully convinced that in
the interests of economy and con
venience to the motorists of Ore
gon, the present motor vehicle op
erator's licensing period should bo.
changed to a four year period," Dr.
E. B. McDaniel, association presi
dent said, in announcing the board's
action.
"Motorists are paying driver's li
cense fees in excess of $500,000 for
the privilege of operating their au
tomobiles. We feel that this two
year period can be extended to four
years without the slightest diffi
culty. "If motorists were re-licensed ev
ery four years, it would give an
adequate check on the driver's phy sical
condition. The California leg
islature has already passed and sent
to their governor a bill calling for
a six-year license period. Our pro
posal is a sensible plan to relieve
the motorist of the unnecessary in
convenience of renewing his license
every two years and to cut the tre
mendous expense to the state in is
suing the license."
NOTICE
I wish to thank those palients
whom I have served during the past
ten months at the office of Dr. Mc
Murdo, especially in the fitting of
glasses.
Those who yet wish to see me
please come in before Saturday or
at the beginning of next week. Af
ter that I will be practicing in Her
miston, returning occasionally to fit
glasses.

1942, and June 30, 1943, respective
ly; and that there is no election to
increase this value in those years
as was permitted for 1939 and 1940.
Therefore, an adequate declaration
is essential where corporations an
ticipate increased earnings during
