SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $3.00 PEE YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS Collier's Makes An Appeal For Understanding To those who have not yet had the opportunity to read the current issue of Collier's (October 27), we would like to suggest they take an evening to do so, That magazine's presentation of "Pre view of the War We Do Not Want" is well worth spending a little time to digest. Many won't agree with some of the sugges tions and beliefs of the 34 writers, commentators and leaders who had a part in preparing this edition. Also there are a good many who will think it horrible and without foundation and it is fiction, for it is written as of 19G0, yet if they will but understand one great fact that is brought out in many ways throughout the various ar ticles that make up the story, we believe Collier's editors will have done the people of America, a real service.- You may think the timetable of "The Unwanted War" is purely imaginary, and we hope it turns out to be only that. There are many other state ments that certainly are debatable, but if the leaders of1 America and the United Nations will heed a suggestion given many times throughout the story, maybe we can not only win the Third World War, if it comes, but also the First Peace. To try to enlarge upon or to explain what we feel is the moral underlying all the various ar ticles that make up the presentation would be foolish and would from the story. The reader probably won't agree with the article as a whole, but we believe he will conclude with a solidly founded belief that there is hope for a true peace, though we may have to fight the most .gruesome war the world has ever known to attain it. DELAYED BONUS PAYMENTS Members of the Oregon Bond commission are not as optimistic as they were last week about early bonus payments to veterans of World War II. The commission has decided first to try to raise $500,000 to meet an estimated administra tion cost of $387,000 and other ex penses. An offer of $500,000 of bonds received no bids last week. Three plans for procuring this sum are being tried. First, If legal, to borrow the money from the general fund or from a sink ing fund set up by the legislature and If neither of these plans works to sell the bonds to some state agency. The commission has held for further study the proposal to use state funds to buy the $40,000,000 in bonds needed to pay the bonus. In the meantime the processing ing games, pinball and similar contraptions. I The order of the commission, ' which becomes operative January j 1, followed an opinion from At torney General George Neuner on a section of the Oregon liquor law that licenses "shall not be per-! mltted to have any entertainment i for customers other than radio, television or phonographs. The commission interprets "phonographs" to mean juke boxes. The liquor commission asked Neuner Monday for a ruling on issuing beer licenses to card rooms, pool halls, bowling alleys and similar gaming places. At present the only exceptions to Neuner's ruling are holding club or unrestricted licenses, which permit dancing and other forms of entertainment. HEALTH DEPARTMENT REPORT Oregon had the seventh worst accident death rate in the United States last year with 80.6 per 100, 000 population. This state was above the na tional rate for every single acci dent classification. The largest group of accidents were motor ve hicle, accounting for 456 deaths, or 37 per cent of the overall totay, and a rate of 30.0 per 100,000 the father, who lives at Jennings Lodge. What constitutes unfitness of a mother sufficient to deprive her of the custody of her children was outlined in the opinion. In another decision, the su preme court reduced the judg ment from $700 to $250, involved the killing of a dog which the defendant charged was chasing chickens on his premises. The THE GOPLINS ARE GOIN' TA GET VAI SLIGHT UNEMPLOYMENT GAIN Work in the lumber Industry dropped last month as the long dry season kept timbermen out of the woods for many days but canneries were busier than since the top year in 1947 which offset the losses by construction and lumbering the Oregon unemplay ment commission announced this week.

SUPREME QASQUXE A ShmdorJ Oil A new bluograss strain, called Merion after the name of a golf course where it was found in Pennsylvania, will be widely used as seed becomes available due to its resistance to root rot. This prediction is from E. R Jackman, Oregon State College extension farm corp specialist, who adds that almost all avail able seed is now being grown in Oregon and Washington. In addition to resistance to root rot organisms and general vigor, the new bluegrass strain is es pecially weed resistant. It's low growth also requires less frequent cutting than other bluegrass strains, the specialist adds. It is tolerant to heat, drouth and shade; produces good yields of seed that can be distinguished from ordinary' Kentucky blue. Golf courses are taking most of the seed available today, but Jackman predicts increasingly wider usage. Demand thus far, he adds, exceeds all expectations. Joe Raltrenas, former Coyote hunter with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Morrow Coun ty is racking up a good record in Coyote kills in his new posi tion. Transferred to Crook County last July due to a shortage of coyotes in Morrow County, Joe has since his transfer averaged well over 200 copotes per month, This is making Joe happy as his desire has always been to beat all other trappers in numbers of monthly catch. used in fall, winter or early spring months on stumps will prevent resproutipg, For general stump treatment use a mixture of one pint of ester of 2,4-D and one pint of ester of 2, 4,5,T in 10 gallons of Kerosene, diesel or No. 2 fuel oil. This mix ture is good on all stumps, brambles and brush to be killed. A circular "Killing Trees, Sprouts and Brush" available at this office gives recommended practices for control. You can have a copy by writing or calling the office. The Pendleton Grain Growers have consented to coming in to apply this fertalizer if the de mand warrants. Anhydrous Ammonia can be applied only before seeding. Those farmers who plan to double crop wheat would do well to have their land fertalized now even though they do not intend to seed before spring. With the shortage of nitrogen such as it is, many will be disappointed in not being able to secure it if they wait un til spring. Applications of nitrogen will vary depending on the area in the county and the ground to be fer tilized. Thirty pounds of nitrogen on summerfallowed land is suf ficient while double cropped land can stand on application of 60 Birds Short In Boardman Area By Flossie Coats Bird season opened with a Bang, Bang Friday noon.

But I began to wonder if it was worth the trouble when we got in a traffic jam coming home. Traffic makes me mighty im patient.

So, I turned around and darned if there weren't twenty cars be hind me!
