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

group of accidents were motor ve
hicle, accounting for 456 deaths,
or 37 per cent of the overall totay,

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.

spring months on stumps will

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

Morrow County's first harvest
of grass for seed production in
cultivated rows was completed
many weeks ago, however, and'
cleaned yield data is now avail-!
able on some lots.
The first of this grass to be
cleaned was the Intermediate
wheatgrass grown by Ralph Tay
lor, Cecil and John Hanna, Hepp
ner. The Taylor lot averaged 300
pounds clean seed per acre, the
Hanna lot 310 pounds clean seed
per acre. This is a good yield of
grass seed per acre. ,
Other growers who are growing
grass seed are: Paul Brown, Bill
Barratt, Elmer & Roger Palmer
and Steve Thompson, all of Hepp
ner. Pubescent wheatgrass, and
Slended Wheatgrass is being
grown by these farmers.
This seed will be offered for
sale locally when cleaning and
certification is completed.

My wife and I went to Central
City Saturday for the football
game and it was a top-notchcr. 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. When I came to a side
road that seemed to point towards
the main highway, I turned onto
it This road bump "long for may
be a mile, then fetches up short by
the railroad a dead end.
So, I turned around and darned
if there weren't twenty cars be
hind me! One driver had followed
figuring I knew a short cut
then a whole string of them swung
after him, like sheep.
.From where I sit, there's no
sense in just "following along."
Whether it's choosing a road, a
movie star, or what beverage to
drink at meal time, it's always bet
ter to make your own decisions.
Personally, I often like glass of
beer with my dinner, but most of
alL I like the freedom of making up
my own mind about it!
