'Ala' Be Praised!
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. (Central Oregonian,
Prinevllle).

WOULD FREE EVIDENCE
Attorney General Robert Y.
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.
Thornton says he made a per
sonal oral request for the infor
mation and two weeks later pre
sented a written request, on De
cember 20th, requesting sworn
statements, testimony, documents
and other evidence; requests
were made to the governor dur
ing the legislative session but the
request was not complied with.
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.
Professor Marmer E. Davis, of
the University of California, is
chairman of the steering commit
tee. 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.

gency certificate act of the Legis
lature will continue at approxi

teachers are not required to com
ply with top standards of the
Oregon education laws.
Putnam predicted an act of the
Legislature increasing the mini
mum salaries to $3,000 a year
probably would play an Import
ant part in attracting teachers to
Oregon in future years.

WASHINGTON. 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.
THERE WAS more construction
in June, as a matter of fact the
reported total valuation of 3.8 bil
lion dollars is the highest figure
on record for anymonth. That
figure brought the total volume
of new building activities, for the
first six months of 1953, to 19.1
billion dollars. The Secretary
went on to say that this repre
sented a seasonally adjusted an
nual rate of 47.7 billion dollars.
This makes construction in 1955
