AT ' ATHE r By PAUL DUNHAM (Editor's Note During the ab sence of Mr. Kelly on vacation his weekly column is being written by Mr. Paul Dunham, member of the Washington, D. C, staff of the Northwestern News Service.) Washington, D. C, August 14. Here is something for the Oregon canning industry to remember. Can ners who are selling part of their pack to army or navy are entitled to priorities in obtaining supplies, nor does the Walsh-Healy act apply to canneries filling orders for the armed forces. Requirements of can ned food for the military estab lishments are in sharp contrast on many items. Top of the list for both, however, is canned tomatoes. These have the vitamins Tomato juice is popular with the soldiers; the sailors want none of it. Army wants 14.4 of the 1941 crop of can ned carrots; navy turns up its nose. Army wants 12.9 percent of the can ned beans; navy doesn't want any. Army wants no applesauce; navy wants 2.7 percent of the total out put. Navy refuses cherries, but asks for 3 percent of the canned apricots; army wants 6.5 percent. Army wants 354,200 cases of peaches; navy is satisfied with 118,487 cases. Army is in the market for 1,436,400 cases of peas; navy wants but 270,816. All thes articles are grown and canned in Oregon. Any canner may figure out what he can sell to the military. Rep. Walter M. Pierce of Oregon was making an appeal for a larger quota for sugar beet beet growers. A southern democrat explained the of the JOHN DEERE Here's the answer to the world-wide cry for low-cost horseless farming. Whether you have a small farm or need auxiliary power for a large farm, the smaller, lower-priced Model "II" will handle your every job at rock-bottom cost. Delivers 3-way power. Cultivates 2 rows. Fits all crops. Equipment for every need. Powered with a simple 2-cylinder engine, the Model "H" burns low-cost fuel and gives you longer life, greater dependability. BRADEN-BELL TRACTOR and EQUIPMENT COMPANY fl3JE change in quotas would interfere with the good neighbor policy of the administration. "That's a lot of damned nonsense," said Pierce, giv ing his views of the policy. With a few lapses, the Oregon democrat has gone along with the administration without question, but sugar beets mean something in Malheur county, where there is alarge refinery at Nyssa. Young Oregon men who have tak en a course in flying and have been appointed second lieutenants in the air corps reserve have been receiv ing orders from the war department that they will remain in active duty until August 30, 1942. This is part of the program to retain reserve of ficers for the duration as announced in the statement by Chief of Staff Marshall. Scanning the list of Ore gon reservists, it appears that they come from Bend, Westfir, Aurora, Eugene, and almost every commun ity in the state. Before they are demobilized the boys can be sent anywhere the air corps deems pro per. While Oregon housewives are giving up aluminum pots and pans about 16 of the 22 companies which have been manufacturing these ar ticles went out of business. More than one third of the employees in the industry (there were 16,000) are now unemployed and the others will be deprived of work as the re maining factories shut down be cause of inability to obtain the white metal. Manufacturers have notified OPM that there are no substitutes for cooking utensils that can be made with their present equipment. Business of other pots and pans alu minum trade last year totaled $36, 996,705. The government could, if it would, contribute the many tons of aluminum ornaments in federal buildings in the national capital. There are gigantic vases, staircases and elevator grill-work. A new ho tel in the capital, now in course of construction, gave all the aluminum window casingSj amounting to more tons than the aluminum in govern ment buildings. Assertion is made that the Pacific coast may suffer a gasoline short age in the months ahead similar to LOW-COST POWER No Siilis Here! 1 ii r i '-.dm k Looking down: Henry Hite, 26 yearsoId and 7 feet, 9 inches; Tom my Lowe, five feet five; and Ross Stanley, 31, three feet two. Hite's the tallest man in the world. The trio will appear at the Oregon State Fair at Salem September 1-7. They're three of the 75 artists on ; "Funzapoppin", the nightly extra vaganza. that on the eastern seaboard, where to conserve gas the filling stations are closed at 7 p. m. to 7 a. m. The cause, if it comes, will be the same diversion of tankers, this time to assist the Soviets. Already tankers are taking on oil and gasoline on the west coast and have orders to deliver it at Vladivostok. Certain west coast tankers have already been assigned to carrying oil to the British, taking on cargo in the Far East and traveling almost half way around the globe to deliver it to British forces in the Red sea. Rail roads serving the northwest own tankers and these will be ready for use if there is a shortage. Senator Wheeler's use of his frank to distribute one million postcards calling, in effect, for a referendum on war, recalls the opposition to prevailing extensive abuse of this privilege so frequently voiced by Jim Farley while he was postmaster general. Mr. Farley insisted he could save the government a vast sum of money if the congressional frank was used legitimately for of ficial mail of members. However, Charley Michelson, publicity man for the democrats, wrote speeches in the Hoover campaign which were sent broadcast by the committee under the fronk of accommodating democratic congressmen. Abuse of the franking privilege has been a sore point with succeeding postmas ters general for more than a quarter century, but since its curbing is up to congress there is slight prospect that anything will be done about it.

"If you want to forget your woes, just come see Funzapoppin," chal lenges Fair Manager Leo G. Spitz bart. "And here's one place you'll find it doesn't cost a cent more than it did a year ago to see a mighty fine show," he adds. Funzapoppin has a cast of 75 per sons and some of th'3 top ao.s in the country. It is a fast moving, clean show that every member cf the family will enjoy. Among headliners on the show will be Walter "Dare" Wahl, comic pantomimist who has played on five continents and in England no less than 14 times; Red Dust, the smash dog act from Earl Carroll's Vanities of New York and Hollywood; John ny O'Brien, second greatest har monica player in the world; a line of 18 girls from the Golden Gate theater in San Francisco; Lou Ashe, the coast's best master of ceremon ies, and Lowe, Hite and Stanley, featuring Henry Hite, world's tall est man. A variety of other acts, every one good, is also on the show program. Tighten Count on Bacteria in Milk New regulations applying to san itary requirements for selling milk and cream from dairies other than grade A were promulgated recent ly by the state department of ag riculture division of foods and dai ries and are now in effect. From the consumer standpoint, the salient feature of the regula tions is that raw milk or cream of this class must not have an average bacterial count exceeding 30,000 per cubic centimeter. This is tightening on bacterial count, as under the old regulations, the figure was 50,000. Milk orocream that has been pas teurized must also have a bacterial count of not more than 30,000 per cc. The department is now drawing up revised regulations for grade A milk, and these will also tighten the requirement relative to bacteria count. "I sure do like the flying corps," said Sam McMillan of Lexington who was in Heppner Monday while on a three-day leave from his post at Mather field near Sacramento, Cal. Sam has been doing ground school work and hoped that he might soon be transferred to the dis-. patching department. Professional Directory , Maternity Home Mrs. Lillie Aiken Phone 664 ' P.O.
