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.

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

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.

Funzapoppin Sure
At Oregon State Fair
An outstanding review type show,
Funzapoppin, will be presented each
nght at the 80th .Oregon state fair
in Salem September 1 through 7,
fair officials announced this week.
"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.
