Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday July 12, 1956 Page 3 mm If j .I'lnMw - ill ara Congressman SAM COON WASHINGTON, ft ft THE HOUSE OF REPRESEN TATIVES defeated the $1,600,000, 000 Federal aid to school con struction bill by a vote of 224 to 194. It contained an amend ment to deny school aid funds to states which fail to comply with the Supreme Court's Integration decision. I voted for this amend- . ment as a matter of principle, as 1 believe the Supreme Court's de cisions should be upheld.

TIRE HEADQUARTERS FORD'S TIRE SERVICE 514 S. E. Emigrant Pendleton, Oregon would not have helped the states on the basis of their needs. The Republicans tried to incorporate into the bill the Eisenhower pol icy of aid based on need. The Democrats combined almost unanimously to defeat our ef forts. Many of us tried to guard against the danger that this Fed eral aid to construction program could' be the entering wedge leading to control of education by bureaucrats in Washington. Chairman Graham A. Barden of our House Education and Labor Committee introduced an amend ment with the object of keep ing Federal control of the pro gram to a minimum. I voted for this amendment, but it did not pass. Another amendment was intro duced to return 1 of the Fed eral income tax collections to the states, to be used for school con struction purposes, but with ab solutely no strings attached. This amendment also failed to pass. I am a friend of education and am deeply interested in seeing that every American boy and girl has the best of educational op portunities. I arh a member of the Education and Labor Com mittee. I know local school problems as I served for five years on a local school board in Baker County, and I feel very strongly that we should not let the Federal government enter into control of our school sys tems. This is a field where we can manage our own affairs and it should remain a state and local responsibility without con trols from Washington. Because the construction aid bill did not grant aid on a basis of need, and because it opens the door to more and more Federal control of education, I voted against the bill. THE RURAL ELECTRIFICA TION ADMINISTRATION has loaned nearly $4 million in our district since January 1, 1953 for the improvement of rural electric service. Lines have been extend cd to serve many more people in central and eastern Oregon. The most recent REA loan in our- district was made to the Central Electric Co-Op of Red mond which services areas in Jefferson, Crook, Grant, Deschu tes, Wasco and Harney Counties. The $156,000 loan will be used for general system Improvements and to build 20 miles of distribu tion lines. These will bring ser vice to 67 new members. The following Electric Cooper atives in our district have also benefitted from REA loans: Uma tilla in Hermiston, Columbia Ba sin in Heppner, Wasco in The Dalles, Eastern Oregon in Pen dleton, Columbia Power in Monu ment, Midstate in Lapine and Harney in Burns.

Two Oregon State college ani mal scientists, Ralph Bogart and Hugo Krueger, report a close tie between rapid beef gains and tendencies of some animals to Baker, Mr. Richard McDaniel of Wallowa, and Mr. and Mrs. Wil liam C. Price and family from Eugene. Mr. Price is associate professor of journalism at the University of Oregon. retain high quantities of protein in the body, converting it to meaty tissue. Slow-gaining test calves tend ed to build body fat at an earlier age, and urimalysis showed body loss of a high percentage of nit rogen or "unused" protein. The less efficient animals gave off one-fourth more urea nitro gen than did the fast-gaining group. Bogart and Krueger test ed about 50 Hereford and Angus calves that were fed a high pro tein ration of pelleted chopped alfalfa and concentrates. Ani mals were put on the test at 500 pounds body-weight and fed to 800 pounds. Bull calves rationed a higher ratio of nitrogen than did heifers. Bogart says further tests will be conducted to see how much feed efficiency of heifers can be Im proved by feeding or Injecting them with various hormones. Other tests in progress with mice and rabbits indicate that the key role of protein synthesis in animals may stem from high or low activity of the pituitry, thyroid, and adrenal glands that secrete hormones into the blood stream. Animal science is moving rapidly in use of hormone ad ditives to speed growth rates, Bo gart stated, and "we hope to get some basic information on how high the level of treatment can go without danger of back-firing." ' The federal food and drug administration is keeping tight reins on hormone treatment of livestock until more is learned of possible hormone residues in ani mal products.

HAROLD DOBYNS OWNER AND OPERATOR Phone 8-7180 lone, Oregon Xhere's no doubt about it The modern auto matic washer does a pretty thorough Job on a Savings Bond. But it takea more than damp neas or detergents to destroy ka value. This photograph shows what happened when a . U. S. Savings Bond, left by mistake in a man's shirt pocket, went through the family washing machine. It looked like a real blue Monday for that Bond-owning family -until they told their story to the U. S. Treasury. The Government replaced the Bond. The family, realising more than ever the value and safety of Bond owner ship, stepped p their regular BonoVbtryi&g program. And they all Ured happily ever after. This little story, which is a true one, illustrates why Bonds are said to be "Safer than Cash." Each year the Treasury replaces thousands of Bonds lost either through carelessness or through the whims of nature. Every major flood, tornado, explosion or fire brings a wave of applications for Bond replacement. So here's something to remember. Any of jrow Savingt Bond that are lost, tide or destroyed will be replaced by the United States Treasury without charge. . U. S. Savings Bonds are not only safer than cash but one of the best investments you can make. You can be sure of the principal, ture of the returns (an average Z interest when held to maturity) -and ture of the future when you invest regularly in Savings Bonds. So start investing in Savings Bonds today either on the Payroll Savings Plan where you work or at your bank. That's the safe and sure way to than up.
