More Tourists In 1949
Tourist business In the states bordering the
Columbia river suffered something of a setback
In 1948 due to the unusual flood conditions of
early summer which turned many western bound
tourists in other directions. A lack of understand
ing of this region apparently caused easterners to
think that all attractions bordered the Columbia
and that all accommodations had been jeopard
ized by the flood.
The travel information department of the Ore
gon State Highway commission now comes forth
with the Information that Oregon playlands loom
large in the vacation future of many mid-westerners
and easterners who visited the Oregon exhibit
at the Chicago Railway fair which closed last
week following a mid-summer opening. The In
formation department reports that enthusiasm for
Beaver state vacations had never been so high In
the mid-west. The exhibit, showing off Oregon's
famed scenic attractions, was sponsored by the
Oregon chambers of commerce executives associ
ation and the Oregon State Highway commission.
From the period July 20 to Labor Day, when the
booth was staffed by Oregon representatives, more
than two million people visited the vast railroad
fair. Most of this total saw the Oregon presenta
tion of its famous scenic areas. Invitation in the
display urged industrialists to investigate Oregon
manufacturing possibilities.
A direct reflection on apparent success of Tour
ist Host Schools, as sponsored by the Oregon Ad
vertising Club each spring since the war, were
the many comments by visitors, who had been to
Oregon, on the friendliness, hospitality and good
service given out-of-state motorists.
Others who have not been to Oregon, were
eager for vacation information, with most saying
they had heard so much of Oregon scenic lures
in recent years that tours were on their early
agenda. Several thousand prospective visitors
signed information requests covering all parts
of the state, with a substantial percentage indi
cating they are planning 1949 trips. People from
forty states, which do not include the western
areas, signed request cards.
U these indications hold true, Oregon is in
line for increasingly more middle-western and
eastern travel, officials are convinced.
Meat Not Only Protein Source
Most of us, no doubt, have been accustomed to
acquiring our proteins through the consumption
of meat It is indeed a pleasant way to acquire
them and it is not a little annoying to learn that
our meat supplies are diminishing rather than
increasing. Continuation of the downward trend
in American meat supplies during the fourth
quarter of 1948 has been predicted by the United
States Department of Agriculture, and confirmed
by farm leaders. Figures of the department in
dicate that meat consumption may be down as
much as four pounds per person for the fourth
quarter.
This is not as alarming as it may seem except
that meat prices are almost bound to go higher
lor there are other foods of high protein value that
are available and make it possible for American
families to include the full normal quota of pro
tein in their diet. For instance- the protein content
of cheese runs twice as high per pound as average
beef. No less an authority than the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture, Office for Food and Feed
Conservation, says that "half a pound of cheddar
cheese provides about as much protein as a pound
of meat with a moderate amount of bone and fat"
At present cheese price levels, half a pound of
NATIONAL CDITORI Al
SSOCIATION
cheddar, either natural or process, costs consider
ably less than a pound of beef. Moreover cheese
is even more of a bargain at this time than was
the case a few weeks ago. Wholesale price for
cheddar cheese quoted on the nation's leading
cheese exchange is now several cents below levels
of midsummer.
With out wishing to lay particular stress on
cheese, it is illustrative of the type of foods that
come in handy as meat substitutes and can be
used in many ways, as any thoughtful housewife
knows.
What About the Hospital?
News, stories in the Portland papers last week
contained information that the Morrow county
hospital was one of four in the state chosen to
participate in a federal allotment to the State of
Oregon. The news was read by many people here,
some of whom were a bit dubious about the au
thenticity of the report since nothing had come
directly to officials here.
It has come to light that the news as given to
the medical society meeting in Portland was au
thentic. County authorities may have been so
advised ere this issue of the Gazette Times reaches
its readers, but whether or not such is the case,
the firm of architects employed to draw up the
plans for the building have been assured that the
hospitals at Tillamook, Wallowa Burns and Hepp
ner have first claim upon the federal allotment.
With the last barrier to financing the project
removed? further delay in getting started on ac
tual construction should not extend beyond the
time required to advertise for bids and the sign
ing of a contract
Be Generous
All of us, no doubt, have preferences in matters
pertaining to charitable gifts to those agencies
with which we woul drather place our funds for
carrying out of humanitarian work, yet in making
a contribution to the Oregon Chest, we are, in one
lump sum, helping the work of eleven organiza
tions that are bringing hope to the underprivileged.
In making one generous gift to the community
chest, we are, in reality, making our money go
farther, making it do more for more people. There
are no paid solicitors, organization overhead is
held to the minimum, all with the purpose in view
of making the funds serve as many needy persons
as possible.
One of the outstanding accomplishments re
suiting from the efforts of the Oregon Chest is
the aid to dependent children. These unfortunate
youngsters are being given opportunities to attend
school, to go to church and to participate in other
activities that are the common lot of children in
more favorable circumstances, although the ex
tent to which they may enjoy these privileges is
limited to the maount in institutions caring for
them are able to provide on a per capita basis
Sometimes this per capita is extremely low $5.00
per month per child. The little tots must of ne
cessity wear Institution clothes, with possibly two
sets of garments of the plainest materials. It is
indeed a drab outlook for them until they can be
placed in proper homes.
If you can visualize the plight of these young
sters, and oldsters too, it will not be difficult to
dig into your purse a little deeper. And a nice
feature of the community chest is that every
dollar over the state quota remains here to be
used as the community sees fit.
The campaign is on. It should not take more
than a few days to wind it up.
SIAC AUDITOR COMING

the State Industrial Accident

Information About
Sheep Dipping in
College Bulletin
Sheep raisers expecting to
spray their flocks for ticks during
October are reminded that it is
important to hold the spray noz
zles close to the animal while
spraying, said Dr. Don C. Mote
and Robert W. Avery, O.S.C. en
tomologists, in their new exten
sion circular number 523, enti
tled "Sheep Tick Control."
Best results from spraying, the
authors find, are obtained if the
animal's body is thoroughly wet
ted. Particularly good applica
tions along the sheep's back,
around the head and ears, and
around the dock are necessary.
In mixtures using DDT not less
than eight pounds of 50 percent
wettable DDT powder per 100
gallons of water is suggested. The
best time to spray sheep to control
ticks is during the fall months
of September and October, ex
perience has shown.
The new three-page circular is
available at the county agent's
office or direct from the Oregon
State college.

30 YEARS A0
Oct 10, 1918
A wedding of interest particu
larly to lone people occurred in
Portland October 4 when Miss
Mabel Mason became the bride
of Martin E. Cotter.
The staff for the Hehisch for
this year was elected the first of
the week as follows: editor, Jas
per Crawford; associate editor,

point to Laxton McMurray who
will take possession at once.
The Misses Anna and Mary
Carty and Patrick Carty, children
of James- Carty of Lexington,
have gone to Portland to attend
school for the winter.
B. H. Peck returned the past
week from a visit to the state fair
at Salem where he took an ex
tensive exhibit. Mr. Peck's score
was 93 points out of a possible
100. His score would have been
even higher had he exhibited
any fresh fruit.
Thomas Morgan, aged 76 years,
died suddenly at his home Wed
nesday. Death was due to a
stroke of paralysis which came
without warning. He leaves the
following children: S. M. Mor
gan, Thomas J. Morgan, Mrs. E.
G Slocum and Mrs Lee Slocum.

POLITICAL GRAPEVINE
Governor Dewey recently said
he would have a Northwest man
in his cabinet as secretary of the
interior. Since that statement
party doublebrows have been giv
ing Oregon U. S. Senator Guy
Cordon the accolade. Granting
the high wide and handsomely
heralded republican landslide ar
rives on time it will be Governor
Douglas McKay who will name
the successor to Cordon.
There is an old legslative lobby
saw that claims ". . . the senate
it composed of thirty candidates
for governor or the congress."
This seems to be an off year for
the old saw unless Senator Carl
Engdahl, eastern Oregon wheat
king should be elected president
of the senate and advance on the
party ladder.
There are many capable (and
receptive) Oregonians whose
names have gone well beyond the
laboratory stage of investigation
by political ulcer clubs over the
state. Just now they would cede
the appointment to State Trea
surer Leslie M. Scott, Oregon Jer
emiah of political economy,
whose term expires January 3.
If the Cordon appointment is
made there would be two U. S.
Senators from Oregon to elect at
the general election in 1950.
STATE BIDS REJECTED
The present board of control is
getting price-shy and trade-frigid.
They are rejecting more bids,
offers and "horse trade" propo
sitions made to the state than
they are accepting. Tuesday they

in the Christian church on Sat
urday, Oct. 5, by Pastor F. A. An
drews. The bride is a school tea
cher in that vicinity.
Ben Buschke and family moved
the past week from the Jim Rhea
place to the Jeff Jones ranch and
is now a resident of the Heppner
country. Mr. Buschke recently
purchased the Higgs place and
he rented a portion of the Jones
land which he will farm in con
necton with the Higgs land.

TO LOWER INCOME TAXES
The Oregon Grange has joined
the Stale Federation of Labor, the
Oregon Farmers Union and the
CIO in endorsing the ballot meas
ure to change Income tax exemp
tions from $500 to $750 for single
persons and from $1000 to $1500
f- morrluri PlIllllll'S All Other
taxpayers will pay on $250 less of
income than unaer tne present
law. If the bill is approved at the
November election the conditions
will apply on 1948 Incomes.
GOING TO BE MARRIED?
Lookout for a possible holdup
of the wedding ceremony if you
are to be married in uregon. 1 ne
law in this state requires mat
three rlavs elaDse between the
application for a marrage license
and the delivery. Many coupies
arranifp their weddine for the
third or fourth day after applica
tion for license and at tne elev
enth hour find they have reckon
ed incorrectly as the county clerk
is restricted bv aw from deliver
ing the license until the fifth day
after anulication three days
must elapse between application
and delivery.
With invitations sent and all
DreDarations made for the cere
mony on the wrong day the only
wav "nut" is to nrevail upon a
circuit judge to sign a waiver
if he is in.
JOB PEAK IN SEPTEMBER
There were more employed per
sons in Oregon during September
than at any time since the end of
the war. This is indicated by the
state unemployment commis
sion's report that the state's pay
checks to jobless persons last
month hit a low point for peace
time employment. The Septem
ber payments were $333,8-18, a
drop of 20 percent from the same
month last year. Readjustment
allowances to veterans totaled
$121,169 less than half the figure
of a year ago.
Self - employment allowances
under the GI bill of rights drop
ped to a new monthly low of $40,

Imaginative decorations and simple refreshments set the stage for
jolly Halloween party. The unusual table centerpiece is made by
placing a vase of autumn flowen in a bollowed-out pumpkin. Trays

informal refreshments are the porcelain enameled traya and mixing
bowls so useful in the kitchen. Their gloaming white finish adds 1 note
