Ask your FARLEY lone Grange Sees Movies of Europe Henry Baker showed movies of his recent trip to Europe Sunday afternoon at the meeting of Wil lows grange at lone. Mrs. Har old Dobyns was in charge of the program. At the meeting it was decided to have part of the hall repaint ed, and it wasreported that roads in this part of the county are now being repaired. Earl Morgan, grange insurance agent, reported that Insurance rates on grange halls may be raised because so many halls in the state have burned recently.

Lundell, Mrs. Sam Esteb and Mrs. Ernest Heliker. o Lutherans Organize Men's Brotherhood A group of men of the Hope Lutheran church met Sunday and organized a$ Men's Brother hood of the church with the pur pose of fostering the program of the church and the community.

Clarence Johnson was chosen recreational director, Jack Flug program director and Rev. Merlin Zier devotional di rector. The group will hold monthly meetings.

TRUCK WILLYS ... worlds largest makers Willys dealer fur a demonstration today I MOTOR COMPANY HEPPNER, OREGON SALES TAX REVISED Many changes in Oregon's tax structure were proposed by E. P. Piatt, vice president of Meier & Frank stores, who appeared be fore a Salem service club Friday. Among other tax law changes he advocated a 3 per cent sales tax. This proposal augmented speculation that a drive by or ganized merchants might de velop. Interviewing several managers of leading establish ments in the local retail trade none were found who advocated a sales tax. Some who had oper ated In sales tax states quoted this tax as a nuisance and a de terrent to business. In two In stances a sales tax had been re pealed after a two-year trial run. All of those interviewed favor ed an organization that would adjust the cost of state spending to an income level of lower in come taxes. If the findings of this brief survey maintains there would be little liklihood of one powerful group being in a crusade for a sales tax. TAX CLINIC DATED Oregon Chamber of Commerce, executives decided Saturday to center a statewide Oregon Tax Clinic in Salem, April 6, with Stanley Grove, Salem C of C manager as chairman. The incentive of the group is "to remedy the present state tax setup now becoming a handicap in industrial promotion." The clinic being planned is expected to bring more than 400 persons. Special invitations will be sent to all chamber of com merce officers, tax committee men and other leaders; to trade association executives, business leaders, heads of women's organi zations, state officials and candi dates for office. SCHOOL LUNCHEONS Ten years ago there was an average of 53,000 school meals a day served in this state, a large group of Oregon school luncheon personnel was told at a two-day conference in Salem which ended Friday. This year the number of the daily average is 117,000. School luncheon workers were urged to take a pride in their work with the admonition that hunger establishes a definite in fluence on a, child's personality, his social development and his scholastic achievement. The distance, in many cases, between hunger and hatred is very short and luncheon caterers are extremely close to the situ of 4 Wheel-Drive vehicles ation. Eating together, it also was brought out, is important these days in the development of group relationships as children establish a' set of values by watching others.
