Too Much Control
Govtmmait control of sg.ir, already more than
five ycais old, l;a. v. torch- J.sruptcd induj-trifs in
the fooJ jtikc -;!!;; 1. Id. orecta'.ly the prc-ae

arehiuscs, thvre he ro roo:r. for sto: age of
the 1'.'47 fru't csop. Ih.s means a break in prices
and severe (;nar.;al to growers the country
ocr.
A recent huuuin of the National Preservers
Association records that en October 1st one-half
billion pounds cf cold pack fruit were clogging
storage warehouses, an excess of loS million
pounds over the storage stocks one year ago. On
the basis of present sugar allocations, this stock 0
fruit would last a full io years, exclusive of the
oncoming li47 crop. With sufficient sugar to
carry on nonr.al manufacturing operations, the
preserving idustry aione could absorb these ware
house stocks, with the further advantages of pro
viding needed warehouse storage space for meats
and other perishable foods.
Th problem could be solved quickly if the
government would turn its eyes homeward instead
of so blindly overseas. This year hundreds of
thousands of tons of sugar were allocated for
movement abroad. Even Jugoslavia, who hardly
has shown the greatest cordiality to America and
Americans, secured tens of thousands of tons of
sugar through L'NRRA this year with the approval
and aid of our government. Sugar has been dish
ed out liberally to foreign nations who do not
normally secure their supplies in the western
hemisphere.
Surely we should open our hearts and our
pocketbooks for the relief of famine wherever it
exists. But let us do it sensibly. Let us not dis
rupt our own great industries by foreign benefi
cence beyond the point of good sense and security.
If the goverment feels that it must control sugar,
let us control it to the benefit of American inter
ests not against them.
Adult Assistance Needed
A controversial subject was introduced Monday
when it was proposed that the chamber of com
merce sponsor an organization to back the school
athletic program. To some it appeared as creating
ancher organization in a community already over
crowded with civic and fraternal activities. Others
felt that any effort towards supporting the athletic
program could be put forth within the chamber
of commerce without sponsoring an additional or
ganization. This column subscribes to the latter
proposal.
It has been mentioned herein that formation
of a "Downtown Quarterbacks" club for the sup
port of school athletics w;u!d be a fine thing.
The writer participated in an organization of that
kind in another town and it worked nicely. Busi
ness houses, professional people and just plain
John Citizen merely signed a pledge to support
the games and their home teams in any way pos
sible. Signing of the pledge practically wiped out
the necessity of a committee going around and
asking places of business to close for each game.
The places that had signed obligated themselves
to do that very thing. After one or wo general
meetings there was no particular occasion for get
ting the group together. Attendance at the games
improved and team backing was noticeably better.
The point was that patrons of the school and cit
izens in general backed the teams, win or lose,
and with this kind of support the school turned
out better teams.
Too Much Initiative?
The older generation should not look with dis
approval upon the high school youth in such ac
tion as initiated by the football team this week
to raise funds to take the entire squad to the
big college game at Corvallis. Through their en
terprise they obtained funds to finance the trip,
not to Corvallis this week end, however, but to
Portland next week to witness the Oregon. State
Washington game. The boys are interested in
football, play hard at it themselves, and want to
see the best the colleges have to offer. If there
is any censuring to be done, it is the fact that the
boys did not counsel with the school authorities.
That they were able to raise the necessary funds
is evidence that the business people and others
appreciated the good record they made in the
football season". However, this must not be con
strued as a precedent to be followed by succeeding
teams. Let us say that the 194t squad got the
jump on us and the money was quite easily col
lected this time. Another time conditions may be
different.
In this connection let us drop a suggestion to
the high school boys. Your older brothers and
fellows are willing to help, but experience has
taught us that the things we appreciate the most
are those for which we have worked the hardest.
If you do not want a thing bad enough to work
for it, and work hard, you will not appreciate it
after you get it. Do not be offended if it is
suggested that you earn the money to make your
next trip. That will be sound advice and some
thing you will appreciate in later years. If there
is a moral to all of this it is that you can't get
something for nothing.
It goes without saying that John L. Lewis is
taking his chances along with the rest of the coal
burning nation just about two weeks supply
ahead. Or, perhaps he has an oil-burning furnace
to heat his humble $50,000 cottage.
Jfeppner had its first touch of winter Wednes
day morning when a light coat of snow fell over
the town. Winter temperatures now prevail, with
the thermometer hovering around the freezing
point. The snow has mostly disappeared, but the
sky is gray and, who knows, the weather man
may be preparing to give us an old-fashioned
white Thanksgiving.

In the average happy American family, each one
has some "'pin money"- money to spend as he or she
chooses. but even more important for family
happimess is that the apportionment of money
for major items - rent, food, clothing,life insurance,
savings, vacations - be a matter for
family discussion and decision.
Sally Coin Writes
Of Appreciation
For Pen-Pal Letter
Dear Editor:
Thank you for printing Margaret
Cooper's letter in the Gazette. We
all enjoyed reading it and learned a
lot about the Girl Guides in Eng
land. Our troop is starting "World
Knowledge" badge and each of us
lias written a letter to a Guide in
England. A few of the girls in our
troop are corresponding with
Guides in Holland and Australia.
We now meet in Cohn's basement
Mrs. Harold Cohn is our leader and
Mrs. Gene Ferguson and Mrs. Alva
Jones help Mrs. Cohn with every
thing. We like this meeting place
best of any we have had, as it is
aur own, and we can do the things
we like to do. We sit on apple box
es, but we like them too. There
are 18 of us, mostly second class
now.
Recently our troop had a Hallo
we'en party, sponsored by the Am
erican Legion auxiliary. Soon we
shall have a court of awards where
we shall receive proficiency badges.
Later there will be a Christmas
party. We shall tell you more about
these later. Best wishes.
Sally Cohn, reporting for Girl
Scout Troop II.

:op!acinr; Weinrick. Monday Gov-1
einor fcnell announced the reap
rointment of L. O. Arens as a mem-
family, expecting the session to es- ; her of, the state industrial accident
ablish a record for number of bills
introduced, and a great percentage
jf them of the highly controversial
order hot potatoes that make for
long sessions. For the last 14 years
legislative sessions have averaged
30 days in length.
Secretary of State Robert S. Far
rell Jr., who is custodian of the
capitol, is paging heme owners in
Salem requesting that they relieve
the housing shortage here by fur
nishing rooms for legislators.
The shortage of efficient clerical
help greatly handicapped the pro
gress of the 1945 legislature. Many
members of the coming' session h;ive
subscribed to a program of "100
percent veterans for clerical help."
a. I. TRAINING WAGES

tives in congress have pleJged

ness, accompanied by festival and
family reunion. . . . Let us do hom-
moval and revision of limitations of j age to God in our homes and chur-

which has shown increasing observ
ance during war years was the sub-
as judge of the circuit court of the ject of the following prescribe is-
and Washington are the only areas
in the United States adaptable to
the growth of select holly, and there
is little possibility of an over-production
of this type of greenery,
Ambrose Brownell of Clackamas
county told state agricultural de
partment officials this week. He
stated that shipments of holly from
the northwest would bring over
helf a million dollars in new money
from the east this year, and pre

BARBECUE PLANNED TO
SERVE HOMECOMING LUNCH
Oregon State College Crowded
restaurant conditions that threaten
ed for a while to put a damper on
the big homecoming "Reunion Af
ter Tokio" here November 22 have
been overcome by arranging one of
the biggest if not actually the big
gest open-fire barbecue in the state,
John Fenner, alumni manager, has
announced.
Hanging in a packing plant in Sa
lem are 18 hind quarters of prime
aged beef to be used in the barbe
cue to be held at the armory on the
campus. A. L. Oliver of the animal
husbandry department is heading a
barbecue committee that will serve
a lunch of beef sandwich, potato
chips, carrot sticks, coffee and des
sert, all for 50 cents.
Fenner expects from 3000 to 4000
alumni to come early now that they
will be assured of a place to eat
between 11 and 1:30 o'clock. Many
otherwise would have come only in
time for the game, he says.
An after-game affair in the ar
mory has also been planned for the
alumni where they will be served
coffee and doughnuts free while
they visit with friends and while
the first rush of traffic clears out
of the campus and city.
The student varsity "O" club is
planning special activities for all al
umni lettcrmcn who will parade
around the field just prior to the
game.
Biggest Elk Kill
Record for 1946
The eastern Oregon elk season
closed on Nov. 20 with the excep
tion of a small area along the east
slope of the Blue Mountains in
Baker county, which will remain
open until Dec. 22. It is anticipated
that very few elk will be taken in
this area until the deep snows force
the animals on to the lower ranges
as at present time the elk are pro
tected high on the steep timbered
slopes.
While figures are not available
yet on the kill for the season just
closed, it probably was the highest
ever had in Oregon. In order to ob
tain the information on the kill,
hunters ar e urged to mail immed
iately their check-out cards to the
Game Commission office, P. O. Box
4136, Portland 8, regardless of whe
ther or not an elk was killed.
