Funds From County
Used to Purchase
Chairs at McCaw
Mrs. R. I. Thompson
The orchids this week should go
to the women in Walla Walla who
did some shopping with our check
for $150. When you read this report
I hope you will agree with me- They
bought 7 new occasional chairs,
most attractive and easy, a foot
stool and end table that went with
one of the chairs. They found 16
used chairs in very good condition,
bought some leather and paid for
new cushions for two Morris chairs.
They felt eo pleased to find the
Morris chairs as they are a favorite
with the boys. So with our $150
they bought 23 chairs, an end table
and a foot stool and we know that
many boys will be more com
fortable The foot stools sent from this
county received a wonderful wel
come as they were so sturdy and
well built, so much better than
those you can buy at this time.
These went into wards to be used
by boys from Alaska and they will
mean so much comfort to a boy on
crutches.
The hand fans, which were over
looked last week were given by
Mrs. L. D. Neill and were much
appreciated. They were taken to
the movies in the recreational hall
and used here and there all over
the hosiptal.
Credit for this idea should go to
Mrs. Owen Leathers of Hardman.
She suggested some time ago sne
could start some plants from some
choice geranium; The idea met with
the approval of Mrs- Burns, field
director of McCaw hospital and if
anyone has nice plants which could
be slipped and grown into good
winter blooming plants, we would
they were sent to McCaw. This
does not mean to wait until late
fall and call some one to get your
plants but if you are interested you
will start to pot them now so they
will bloom during the winter
months.
At this time the committee is look
ing for a very small, light pioio
which we wish to purchase for Mc
Caw. A small one to be taken from
ward to ward so the patients in
bed can enjoy the pleasure such a
gift would bring. All those able to
walk or be wheeled can go to the
recreation building and enjoy pro
grams and shows that are put on
there at regular intervals. If any
one has such a piano please con
tact either Mrs. Fred Mankin of
lone or the chairman, Mrs. Ralph
Thompson.
In closing this week I v;l:h to
make it plain that if anyone was
overlooked in our county-wide so
liciting for funds it was not inten
tional. If you feel you want to help
with this work and have not done
so, they are still collecting funds
for us at the bank or you can leave
your money with Miss .- Florence
Bergstrom at the county agent's of
fice as she is secretary-treasurer of
the Morrow county committee.

BOTH meat fats and vegetable
oils are an essential part of
our present day national economy.
Their interchangeability for a wide
range of uses makes them espe
cially adaptable, In these times of
changing food conditions, and as
sures high quality at lowest cost.
. In one of the finest food research
laboratories in the country science
has wrought a miracle ... a short
ening in which meat fats and vege
table oils are perfectly blended.
This new blended shortening pos
sesses more nutritional value due
to its content of meat fats ... it
is a more stable source of essential
fatty acids than are the more
familiar hydrogenated all vegetable
shortenings. .
Versatility is one of its chief
virtues. Blended shortening is at
its best whether in the deep-fat fry
ing kettle, frying pan, or in the
mixing bowl. American housewives
can rejoice and be exceedingly glad
for this new scientific development
growing out of improved processes
which are an outgrowth of the war.
With a few points spent for a pound

are.a CROP
ON VAST areas, best suited to the
production of timber, trees are being
planted, protected, grown, and harvested
like any other crop.
Long past is the period when forests
were cut to provide fields for agriculture.
This is no longer necessary and the land
now classified as forestland can be kept
intact for the purpose of growing more
trees.
We are in an era of managed forestry,
an the forest industries, looking ahead,
plan for the continuous production of
tree crops.
We have learned that trees are a crop
and, as such, can keep on producing use
ful harvests for the future.
