At the recent meeting of the Oregon Wheat commission in Portland it was officially brought to light that a new food product known as 'Ala' is now being marketed on a wide scale. 'Ala', or BulgorBulgour as it was known in ancient times, is the first wheat product to be introduced on a large scale in over 20 years and is a part of the aggressive program being conducted by Oregon wheat growers to scale down wheat surpluses by developing greater use in different forms. Like 'Lil Abner's shmoos, 'Ala' can be used for about any purpose exceping the re-capping of tires and by the time they get through experiment ing with it they may be able to do Just that. At the present it is recommended for salads, fried cakes, salmon loaf, puddings, casserole dishes, vegetable ring molds and other concoctions. With the nation facing the greatest surpluses in its history and wheat rating as Oregon's second greatest crop, a means of alleviating this surplus would be doubly welcome. 'Ala', with recipes for its use, can now be found on the shelves of the majority of the local grocery stores. Let's hope it catches the public's fancy. If it does, then 'Ala' will indeed be praised.

Thornton wants to determine if any state department can with hold Information concerning al leged criminal violations that have been secured at the expense of the state. Friday he went to court to com pel the Oregon Liquor Control Commission to let him inspect documents and evidence gathered late last year on commission em ployes accused of 1 accepting money and gifts from distillers and liquor license applicants. The filing made in the Marion County Circuit Court named Les ter Ireland, J. II. Sroufe and Lo well Seaton, liquor commission ers and Robert F. McGuire and Howard I. Bobbit, who investigat ed the changes, as defendants.

The court hearing has been set for August 1 at 2 p. m. OREGON TOPS Another Oregon first! Oregon has the best traffic engineering devices of any of the 11 western states, according to the Institute of Traffic Engineers. The insti tute this week informed Gov. Paul Patterson that it had award ed Oregon a first place plaque for achievement in 1954. The notification of the award came from Atlanta, Ga., where the Institute's board of directors were holding their annual meet ing. Last year Oregon was tied for first place with Washington. HEALY ON STEERING GROUP William Healy was named this week as a member of a motor vehicle reciprocity steering com mittee functioning under the Council of State Governments. The appointment was announ ced in Billings, Montana, by Julia Butler Hanson, member of the Washington legislature and the Chairman of the Western Inter state Committee on Highway Policy Problems.

Healy is the author of a sys tem of prorating the taxes of commercial vehicles among the states in which trucks travel on the basis of miles traveled. Ore gon pioneered proportion with the adoption of such a law in 1951. Since then most of the western states have passed simi lar legislation. The Council of State Governments, meeting in 1954, adopted this type of tax di vision as an approved policy. TEACHER SHORTAGE Rex Putman, state superinten dent of public instruction, said Monday that Oregon's teacher shortage, serious during the past few years, will continue unsatis factory during the 1955-56 fall and winter terms. Figures prepared by his depart ment show that 1,200 teacher re placements will be required, against a total of 752 new teach ers provided by the Oregon col leges and universities. This leaves a deficit of approximately 500 teachers.

A sand storm on a thin scale paid us a short visit on Friday. State Senator Bob Carsner, ac companied by Mrs. Carsner, made Heppner a visit on Wednesday from their home at Spray. ment under the teachers' emer gency certificate act of the Legis lature will continue at approxi mately 2,000.

D. a WE SrENT THE Fourth of July in Hershev, Pennsylvania, and were certainly impressed with the his tory of that little town as well as with its beauty. I have been eating Hershey chocolates and drinking hot chocolate made from Hershey chocolate all of my life, and just never gave a thought of what it was made, or by whom. Mr. Hershey founded his plant, and the town of Hershey, at the turn of the century. He provided the finest working con ditions for his employees, and in addition to this arranged for 25 of the profits to go to them in the form of bonuses. THIS FINE American felt that he should do more good with his money than this and so set up a connection trust fund of 500,000 shares of his business in order to provide a home for orphan boys. This home is well known and is considered one of the best in tne country. The boys come from all over and they received an excellent, eauca tion in order to fit them to take their place in the world. Their Glee Club is outstanding ana makes a concert tour every year. SECRETARY OF LABOR Mitchell stated recently, that employment in June exceeded 63.7 million, that was the previous record set In August 1953. The Secretary also said that unemployment de clined sharnly last month, in with this decline in unemployment, he pointed out that usually unemployment in June increased, because of the number of students seeking work.
