Pictured above is one of the finest examples of
waste in government that we have run across in
quite a spell.
In the center of the picture is a large 11
by 11 inch manila envelop which this paper re
ceived last week in the mail from the Adjutant
General of the State of Oregon. Inside the enve
lope was one folded mimeograph sheet which can
be seen tacked to the lower corner of the envelope
which was merely a press release from the head
quarters of the st Infantry Division, Public In
formation Section, telling all editors, who even
bothered to read it, that the Oregon and Washing
ton National Guard had completed training at
Fort Lewis. Above the large envelope is a copy
of last week's Gazette Times to show how un
necessarily big the envelope was.
Now here's our gripe! That envelope cost the
taxpayers at least 3 cents, if purchased in 50,000
lots, and considerably more if bought in smaller

that it cost six cents to mail it even with only

even though the envelope had a full two inches
of gum on the flap, it wasni uu-.i -
was sealed with a nine inch strip of heavy weight
three-inch paper gum tape which probably cost
us taxpavers another half cent or so.
We know that most, if not all, newspapers In
Oregon received the same type of a mailing piece,
for we have seen editorial comment from other
editors, so the cost of that one little piece of
propaganda ran into quite a considerable sum.
We know that this item Is small peanuts com

number of farmers participating
on these committees which will
meet during the summer, fall,
and early winter in prcperation
for the general conference which
will be held in Portland the lat

State college was asked by the
Oregon Wheat Growers League to
assist them with holding such a
conference. The task of develop

gathering and evaluating data
has taken a great lot of time.
Committee members participat

expense. J. Ri Beck, assistant di

gon State reports that because
wheat is so involved in both na
tional and international policy,
the conference undertaking is
more difficult than any similar
one that the college staff has
tackled. The economic signifi
cance certainly justifies the un
dertaking. If broad and tnougnt
ful consideration can produce
helpful recommendations, the
results should be good for Ore-eon,
Those from Morrow county who
their Dart in assisting
on committees for the conference
are Al Lamb, Lexington, market

Peterson, lone, and Frank Ander

is vice chairman of the export

as Arborvitae. Frequently the
upper half of the entire plant
is dead or dying, with tne dis

branches. Often these are found
in the center of the shrubs. Prune
them out now and burn them.
Do not leave them on the trash
pile where spores can be spread
bv wind and air currents to
cause future infections in the
fall and winter months. A gar

dead twig growth. Removal of
such dead material also en

"Keep The Change"
If you've seen "Mac" Johnson
this week, chances are he's told
you his waitress story. For those
who haven't heard:
"Mac" recently stopped at an
out-of-town diner. He ordered
the chef's special -and his wait
ress (brand new on the job) made
every possible mistake. She con
fused the order, spilled the soup,
dropped the rolls, brought him a
wrong dessert-
Despite it all, "Mac" left a
substantial tip. But she smiled and
handed the money back. "Keep
it, Mister -you've sure earned
it more than I have," she said.
From where I sit, that girl de
serves credit for admitting her
shortcomings something not
everyone is big enough to do. For
instance, I'm convinced lots of
folks know they're wrong when
they deny me the right to a glass
of beer with my supper . . . just
because they happen to prefer
some other beverage. They
wouldn't like me ordering them
to accept my choice.
