We Can Help If We Try
Americans came through the war with a clean
bill of health despite food regulations. It might
be said, because of food regulations. There was
scarcity in some favorite articles but we soon
learned to use something else or to eat sparinely
of the scarce foods. In so doing we aided in bet
ter food distribution and all were benefitted.
We are now faced by a more serious situation
so far as food is concerned. Famine is rearing its
ugly head throughout war-devastated regions and
political unrest threatens disruption of the plans
for establishment of a permanent peace. Hungry
people can be reasoned with about so long and
once they give in to their suffering they lose
their sense of responsibility.
There are no figures at hand showing what the
average American family wastes but in times
past it has been claimed that the starving peoples
of the world could be sustained on what we throw
in the garbage can. Be that as it may, the place
to save food is in the serving and in that we can
all play a part. It will require some thoughtful
ness, to be sure, but lessons learned in the war
era will make it easier for us to put our minds to
work on the matter of preserving human life.
To make the task of saving on certain foods
easier for the public, the Department of Agri
culture has prepared a long list of hints, a few
excerpts from which are quoted hrewith just to
help you be more food conscious for the other
fellow and not in response to the demands of the
inner man.
For instance, an average serving of oatmeal
without sugar and cream equals approximately
two slices of bread in food value.
If every man, woman, and school child will
replace two slices of bread with a serving of oat
meal each week, this would mean 135,000 tons
of wheat for the hungry in four months time.
One small serving of potato can replace a
slice of bread nutritionally, and the potato offers
some vitamin C, besids. t
At breakfast, let potatoes replace wheat cereal,
toast or biscuit.
A teaspoon of fat a day saved by every man,
woman and school child will mean a total saving
of at least one million pounds of fat a day.
Put on ice for the duration of the emergency
your taste for French fries and other foods fried
in deep fat.
There is a long list of hints. If interested you
may get a bulletin from the county agent or by
writing to the Departmnt of Agriculture. Remem
ber, you are being asked to cut down on the us
of wheat products and fats and oils. You are not
being asked to starve or even to deny yourself a
sufficient amount of good healthy food. You are
being asked to change some of your eating habits
for a long enough period to permit accumulation
of sufficient nourishing products to avert a con
dition that could well be far more disastrous than i
the recent war and this is a result of that war.
The Right Spirit
How many times have we read about plans for
a new home or business building being drawn in
the light of the flames of the old building. That's
almost what ' happened at Lexington this week
when the hangar and Jack Forsythe's new plane
were consumed by fire. Men rushing to the air
port to do what they could to save the building
were wondering what could be done to replace
the hangar and when the fire was over they set
about to do something definite.
The embers were still smoldering Monday
noon when the luncheon meeting of the
Heppner Chamber of Commerce was in session
and offers of assistance from Heppner business
firms were made before it was known what could
or would be done about rebuilding.
This is a healthy condition when the sever
al communities of the county get behind a project
which obviously is in the one-of-a-kind class and
one that commends itself to other projects which
are of community-wide interest. -
It is safe to state that a new hangar will be
built and that the airport manager will be flying
a new plane as soon as one can be delivered.

More Stress on Fire Prevention
Oregon's fire record for the past five years
has been far better than for any similar period in
the 35-year period of organized forest protection
in spite of the terrible Tillamook fire of last year,
states Governor Earl Snell. The Keep Oregon
Green association has been a going concern dur
ing that time, its entire efforts devoted to the
education of the public in care with fire, he con
tinued.
In all this educational work the press of the
state has played a prominent part and within the
year steps have been taken to lay. more stress
on this important campaign of protection. The
governor is kind enough to state that beyond
question the finest type of publicity is through
the medium of the newspapers of the state of
Oregon. With this thought in mind he recently
appointed a special committee of newspapermen
comprised of the officrs of the Oregon Newspaper
Publishers Association and several other prom
inent publishers to further the work of educating
the public in the Keep Oregon Green movement.
As we face another fire season, readers of the
newspapers of the state will be made aware of
the expanded program to keep our state one of
the fairest, yea, the fairest, in the Union, for we
have but to retain our forests and fields in their
natural greenery to make it the promised land.
