TEN BIUM ilES OF
The time-tested, performance-proved
4-Wheel-Drive 'Jeep' Truck
The 4-Wheel-Drivo 'Jeep' Truck, like all
vehicles in the 'Jeep' family, is time-tested
and performance-proved. It has the "go
anywhere" ability to take you over the
toughest terrain, the extra versatility to
do many different jobs.
Before you buy any 4-wheel drive truck
remember this: only ONE has been time
tested over many years, only ONE has
been performance-proved through count
less miles of the most strenuous transport
service. That ONE is the rugged, 4-Wheel-Drive
'Jeep' Truck. No other 4-wheel
drive truck even approaches its amazing

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. He reported
most of the halls burned shortly
after meetings close due largely
to the fact that fires are not
checked.
Mrs. Hershal Townend, master,
received the 4th degree pin.
A potluck dinner preceeded the
meeting and refreshments were
served later. Hostesses were Mrs.
O. L. Lundell, Mrs. Sam Esteb
and Mrs. Ernest Heliker.

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.
Elmer Schmidt was named
president of the group. Other of
ficers elected were Harold Holtz,
vice president; Gene Cutsforth,
secretary; and Harvey Wright,
treasurer. Clarence Johnson was
chosen recreational director,
Jack Flug program director and
Rev. Merlin Zier devotional di
rector. The group will hold
monthly meetings.
The organization was started
because it was felt that not only
was there a need for expanding
the work of the church but also
the church's influence in such
youth programs as scouting.

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.
NEW LIQUOR CHIEFS
Bruce Williams, young Salem
attorney and E. Riddell Lage,
Hood River orchardist were ap
pointed members of the three
man Oregon State Liquor Con
trol Commission by Governor
Elmo Smith Saturday.
The third commissioner, Lo
well Seaton, Albany, is a hold
over member. Williams was
designated chairman of the new
commission by the govrnor. He
replaces Lester Ireland, Hills
boro, who resigned and Lage
succeeds J. Harry Sroufe, Port
land, who also resigned.
Commissioner Lage served in
the Oregon Legislature during
the sessions of 1941, 1943, 1945
and 1946.
