Eggs as Bread and Meat
Substitute
Present abundant supplies of eggs constitute
a good food source for Americans at reasonable
prices, according to Noel Bennion, extension
poultryman at Oregon State college. In their na
tural state, the fruit of the hen cannot be shipped
over seas as easily as many other foods and it
looks like Mr. and Mrs. America will become
more familiar with a diet calling for the use of
eggs so long as the world food situation is in . a
state bordering upon famine.
This suggestion will not register too well with
former service mn who have anything but a plea
sant recollection of powdered eggs and similar
foods with which they had to put up overseas. No
doubt many of them will have no taste for eggs
the rest of their days and will find it difficult to
cope with menus that are built around them. Yet
it seems that in this era of emergncies there is
no escape from certain irritating factors and we
as good citizens will at least make an .effort to
get along on foods that do not ship too well, giv
ing up some of our favorite foods for the purpose
of sending overseas.
There is no doubt that millions face starva
tion. Likewise it is trut that most of the starving
world looks to Uncle Sam for succor, and if this
nation is to provide this food and at the same
time maintain a semblance of peacetime food
programs we will have 10 rearrange our menus to
include more eggs and cereals of the type not
wanted for overseas shipment.
Eggs have one appeal at present and that is
their price. The supply is greater at this time and
their marketing value appears to be based upon
the rule of supply and demand, with the OPA
dipping'in to maintain a low ceiling now and pro
mising a higher ceiling when fresh and storage
supplies diminish. This supply may be substan
tially decreased by late fall because of the pres
ent feed shortage, but Bennion suggests that Am
ericans might well eat more eggs now while sav
ing on bread, other wheat foods and fats.
college and complete his education and his good
old "Uncle" will' foot the bill.
Chances for farm labor are not as favorable
for youths of 18 and under as they haye been the
past few years and this should be a factor in con
sidering an army-college educational program.
Farm labor placements in Oregon show 281 in
April 1946 or about one-quarter of the 93 h place
ments for youth in April 1945. Men are replac
ing both women and the 18 or under groups and
adult male employment is expected to increase in
succeeding months.
A Duty to Perform
This is a last-minute appeal to the electorate
to turn out and vote at the primary election to
morrow (Friday). If for no other reason there
being practically no contests for political offices
there should be a full expression on the hospi
tal measures. This is a matter in which everyone
is vitally interested, whether in favor of the hos
pital or not, although it is hard o perceive a hea
vy vote registered against having a county hospi
tal. The number of patients from this county in
outside hospitals should be sufficient to warrant
a heavy vote in favor of the measures prepared by
the county court. Those in favor of the hospital
will be doing themselves and the county as a
whole a matter of justice by turning out in num
bers and registering a strong vote for early con
struction of this much-needed building.
Things One Remembers
From the Industrial News Review is taken the
following observation by R. M. Hofer: "I just
looked in Webster's dictionary to refresh my
mind on the meaning of socialism. It defines it
as a 'political and economic theory of social reor
ganization, the essential feature of which is gov
ernment control of economic activities . . .'
"From this definition one can draw his own
conclusion as to what he thinks is socialistic in
the United States."
Join Army for Free Education Riding For a Fall
Right at this time numerous young men are
leoking forward to bidding goodbye to high school
and wondering, perhaps, what the future holds in
store for them. There are opportunities to go to
work but if they are far-seeing enough they will
not attach themselves to anything of a permanent
nature until they have acquired more "book
learning."
It may not be easy for these youths to enter
institutions of higher learning, many of them at
least, and f the urge to acquire a better educa
tion is strong enough they will not look for the
easy road. They will seek an avenue which leads
them in the direction of their goal, for the effort
alone is broadening and no matter what of their
easy way of life they may sacrifice they will have
gained a ripe experience that will add to their
success in later life.
The army offers an opportunity for the high
school graduate to continue on through college
at government expense. Through the G. I. Bill of
Rights, any man enlisting at this time is entitled
to all of the benefits of the bill when he is dis
charged. This may look like a long time off to
the youth of 17 or 18 but it must be remembered
that thousands of returned veterans whose col
lege careers were disrupted by the war are now
enrolled with the purpose of completing their
courses. The high school graduate with two or
three years in the army will not be losing touch
with education for he will be in training all the
while. Then when his hitch is over he may enter
This newspaper seldom indulges in the pas
time of reprinting "canned" editorials but in
looking over the Industrial News Revue release
attention was called to an article written in the
deep South.
Commenting on the strike situation, George
W. Hopkins, editor and publisher of "The Lake
Region," Eustis, Florida, says in part: "Organi
zed labor has the full protection of the United
States government today in the wholesale strikes
it has instituted. Whether detrimental or not to
our economic wellbeing, the Congress has put its
seal of approval upon them, and the people must
abide by the consequences.
"A monopoly in restraint of trade is no more
damaging to the economy of the nation than a
monopoly in restraint of labor. Both should be
outlawed in a free democracy."
The right to work and earn a living, whether
one joins or does not join some specified organi
zation, has been destroyed in the United States.
Why do we talk about "world freedom" when
we tolerate such conditions at home, concludes
the News Revue.
Barty and Sammy were arguing as to whether
it was corrct to say of a hen, "She is setting" or
"She is sitting."
"The question," said Mr. Boyd, "doesn't in
terest me at all. What 1 want to know when I
hear a hen cackle is whether she is laying or lying."
We're Not Kidding!!
We need those milk bottles from your
kitchen, the back porch, and those you
are using for hat stands. It has reach

"No bottles, no milk!"
