This is sponsored by the P-TA. Superintendent Chester L. Ward is back in school this week after being ill at his home for several days. Around 8o attended the grade school athletic banquet in the school cafetorium Saturday even ing, May 15. John Howton was master of ceremonies, Rev.

A dance followed in the old gym with Gene Rietmann and his or- U-z Probably next to mother-in-law jokes, the most frequent stories are built around the lady and the home builder, in which the lady from day to day so changes the plans the builder is always confused. And that seems to fit the Washington sit uation. Congressman James Van Dandt states largely because of imports of cheap fuel oil from Venezuela and Dutch West Indies, U, ir Y C.W. Harder S. coal produc tion has dropped from 145 million tons in 1947 to 91 million tons In 1953. Coal industry employment has dropped from 109,202 to 56, 668 in the same period and the trend continues. I'. S. is dumping ground for res idual nils produced in these na tions by big I'. S. oil corpora tions. But Venezuela, whose residual oil Is wrecking an entire American industry recently Im posed a tariff duty on V. S. alu minum products up to 350 per cent. On question of containing Com munism. Today U. S. troops ar stationed all over the world; thousands died in three years in Korea. U. S. Vice President states if French pull out of Indo China, U. S. troops move in. Yet in classic warfare, there arc two grand points of strategy. One is to des'roy enemy ability to p'oduce; th? other is to main tain a naval blockade. Yet Har old Stassrn, in charge of the V. S. giveaway programs tells Con gress trade with Russia slim " J be increased. This means Russia could get tilings she needs. When dairy support prices v ! I !' n'i' ii r.f hiili'itenilfnt lluslnnl were lowered, government sup port prices on over one-third of a billion dollars worth of govern ment owned cheese also came down about a nickel a pound. But a long advance notice was given of this drop in prices, so cheesemakers unloaded millions of pounds to the government at the old support price, and bought it back immediately after at new lower price. Thus a profit of al most a nickel per pound was made without cheese leaving producers warehouse. It was announced this plan was followed in hopes milk price paid farmers would not be immediate ly cut by the cheese makers. But with three firms controlling most of the U. S. cheese supply, milk prices were cut long before date cheese subsidy cut went into ef fect. They can seem pretty naive in Washington, too, at times. Also among government sur pluses are large stocks of linseed oil, vital in paintmaking. Recent ly the government sold 84 mil lion pounds to European funis for 7 cents per pound. This might be cited as an ex ample of what free world trade means to the U. S. except for one little tly in the oil. The oil sold by the govern ment for 7 cents per pound, ci-st more than twice that amount. So V. S. taxpayers lost about Sll million on deal, still pay lii-vh prices for paint to maintain homes, farms, businesses. So where is wonder over just what plan, if any. is being fol lowed in Washington. Obviously the answer Is there is no plan. It is also obvious if government is going to avoid bankrupting every American, de stroying every Independent I'. S. business, every American home, a sound business plan must be adopted soon and adhered to. New Plant Clinic Started by College To Serve Growers Fast, free "medical service" for sick plants is now available to Oregon farmers and gardeners with the opening of a plant. clinic at Oregon State college. Diagnosis of plant diseases and control recommendations can be expanded under the new arrange ment by staff plant pathologists, according to Dr. S. M. Dietz, head of the OSC botany and plant pa thology department. He says that while all colleges offer similar services, the OSC operation is the first in the West and the second in the nation to be handled on a systematic basis as a clinic with an advisory staff. Dr. H. J. Reilly, extension plant pathologist, will be in charge of the clinic which will draw upon chestra furnished the music. Musical novelties were given by Bonnie Crum, Grace McCabe, Kay Sherer, Joyce Casebeer, Leann Padberg, Mardine Baker and Ann Belle Coleman.

The hostesses were Mrs. Dobyns, and Mrs. John Proudfoot and Mrs. O'Connor. At the business meet ing, it was decided to have a picnic at Maryhill Museum on June 27 for the members and their families. Mrs. Grace Cunningham of Post Falls, Idaho spent the week end with her aunt, Mrs. Fanniej Griffith. Mrs. Griffith met her in Ilermiston Friday. , Mr. and Mrs. Bert Mason of Portland and her sister. Mrs. Hes ter Dalzell of Spokane spent the weekend at the Sam McMillan home. Mrs. Mason and Mrs. Mc Millan accompanied Mrs. Dolzell to her home in Spokane Monday. Mrs. Winnie Zinter and grand daughter, Lois Messenger and son William, went to Spokane with Charles Davidson recently. Miss Evelyn Cowan, a niece of Mrs. Zirrter, returned home from Spo kane with them for a visit. Mr. and Mrs. William Zinter and Lawrence Davidson took in the wrestling matches in Pendle ton Sunday evening. the entire plant pathology de partment for consultants. Ex perts in various fields of plants diseases include Drs. J. A. Mil-1 brath, for stone fruits and pota toes; Kay A. Young, nursery crops and potatoes; J. R. Hardison, for age crops; E. K. Vaughan, small fruits and vegetables; F. P. Me Whorter, bulbs; and L. F. Roth, forest diseases. Designed to speed up service to the public, the plant clinic will answer most requests promptly depending upon the kind of di sease or the stage of symptom development. On some speci mens, the pathologists can tell what the disease is by merely ax amining the plants as with peach leaf curl, wheat smut, and other readily identified diseases. On others is is necessary to examine parts of the plant under a mieri scope. In the most difficult cases, organisms found on the plant specimines will be reared under laboratory conditions to deter mine which organism is the cause of the disease. The rearing, or cult tiring, may take from one to three weeks. Dr. Dietz says direct maining of specimens to the plant clinic will simplify handing of re quests which, in the past, were sent by farmers and home own ers to any of several addresses at the college. Under the old sys tem specimens Improperly ad dressed caused delays and hind ered identification which is most accurate when plants are fresh. Complete records will be kept of diseased plants received to as sist pathologists in following sea sonal development of various crop diseases. Persons sending in plants can get faster service and more com plete information, explains Dr. O'Reilly. He has six suggestions; 1. Whenever practical, send the whole plant. 2. Wrap with moist paper toweling or newspaper and an outer covering of wax paper or a plastic bag. 3. Package or box securely so the plants won't be crushed. 4. Get a special report form if possible from your county ex tension agent. Otherwise, attach a letter giving the name of the plant; part of the plant Injured; extent of injury in the field or orchard; general growing condi- end in the mail, tions such as: heavy or light soil. cmlntv extension agents have dry or moist soil, whether irriga- jns packaRinf7 tion is used; crop rotation; sprays, , , , or dusts used; and any unusual, Mas(Hl I'',n,s a,,(1 Wl11 sllI'Ily circumstances the farmer was oh- forms fur recording needed in served, formation.
