PLEASURE-PACKED PROGRAM
PLANNED FOR FARM FAMILIES
t
To Be Guests of Empire Machinery Co.,
Local John Deere Implement Dealer
on John Deere Day, February 20
Open House at Store 10 to 12
No less than six brand new
movies are on the program for
the annual John Deere Day show
to be held for farmers and their
families on Feb. 20, at 1:30 at
the Star Theatre, according to
the Empire Machinery Co., local
John Deere dealer and sponsor
of the affair.
The feature picture of the day,
"One Happy Family," stars Don
DeFore and Marjorie Reynolds
and is the story of a small-town
family and the things that beset
them when they win the title of
"Family of the Year" in a con
test conducted by a national
magazine. Leading the pack of
five more applause-winning
films is "His Father's Choice,"
featuring Tom Gordon who,
along with his typical American
family, has won so many friends
in previous John Deere pictures.
The four films that complete the
parade of entertainment offer
something new and different in
dealing with subjects close to
the hearts of today's farmers.
"Those who attend this year's
John Deere Day," says Mr. Rob
ert Grabill, "have a real treat in
store for them, a day so packed
with entertainment for the en
tire family that they will remem
ber it with pleasure for months
to come. Don't miss it! Lunch
served at 12:00."

LEGISLATIVE TEMPO
The Oregon legislature finish
ed the third week of the present
session last Saturday with some
300 bills, resolutions and mem
orials before the two houses.
This is normal procedure and
this session is following the
pace and pattern of most sess
ions. Taxation, education, budget
ing, highway development and
welfare are top essential issues
with the ever-present biennial
pro and con duels over fish, milk,
liquor, slot machines, trucks and
railroads in the swirling arena
laterals.
Little of the "heavy" legisla
tion has been acted on or is ex
pected to be for two weeks. Hear
ing on pension legislation is
scheduled for February 15 with
hearings on the Holy report be
fore committees on education the
same week.
Trends are that the repeal of
civil service has lost for this
session tho the defeat of the re
peal does not mean there will be
no changes made in the act. The
state-wide ban of fireworks, ex
cept for supervised displays,
passed the senate 20-4 and is ex
pected to pass the house. The
fight for milk control repeal
looks dark for the customers.

STATE HIGHWAY PROGRAM
The state highway commission
will require $30,000,000 a year
for the next five years if the
most critical work demanded by
the public is to be contracted
and completed.
Rights of ways for major pro
jects have been arranged for,
surveys completed and the de
partment has ample personnel to
begin as soon as approval of
federal aid projects is cleared,
Chairman Ben R. Chandler and
R. H. Bardock, state highway en
gineer, told the joint roads and
highways committee of the leg
islature this week.
"It is entirely up to the legis
lature," said Chandler, "to de
termine if the urgent program is
to get under way and if the ad
ditional funds are to be provided
by taxes or through the sale of
road bonds."
Senator Elmo Smith, chairman
of roads and highways commit
tee, briefs the population with,
"The state's population has in
creased 39 per cent during the
past ten years, in that time trav
el on highways increased 102
per cent, dollar purchasing pow
er slipped almost 50 percent and
highway income increased only
108 percent leaving a net in
crease of about 17 percent to
match against the 102 percent
iftcrease in traffic requirements.
