Single Copy 10 Cents. Si ODD ENDS... One of the cutest true stories we've heard on any of our local talent in quite a while came to light the other day. It seems this certain gentle man had been bothered by having a small screw come out of his glasses qu'te frequently. To save running across the street every now and then to the repairman for spectacles, he bought a kit of tiny screwdrivers and wrenches so he could do the job himself when the necessity arose. The idea was fine, with one exception. When he got his glasses off to give them the overhaul, he couldn't even see the screw he wanted to tighten. As a result, the specs-dispenser was presented with a free set of tools. we did something. Along that line--we got a few comments this week about our few changes. A couple of readers didn't know for sure whether they liked the Idea of leaving out all periods except at the end of stories. We'll bet though, that 99 and 23 per cent of our customers wouldn't even have missed those little blobs of ink if we hadn't said some thing about it. Probably would have just fig ured we made another mistake. Sputniks Spur Foreign Trads While checking the files for this week's "Thirty Years Ago" column which appears on this page, we ran across an item which interested us par ticularly because of the changes we made in the appearanse of the GT starting last week. It seems that just 30 years ago the editors, who at that time were Vawter and Spencer Craw ford, had the same idea. In the Jan, 19, 1928 paper they had a story telling of the "New Look" of the GT. A new larger body type had been in troduced and a new headline type made its first appearance that day. If Us been 30 years since another change was made, it was about time We can't help but get irked occasionally when we see the utter disregard most drivers have for crosswalks in our town, and we hope it isn't going to take a serious accident at one of them to make people realize that in a crosswalk the pedestrian has the right-of-way. One person told us the other day that they watched more than half dozen cars drive through the marked school crosswalk on ma'n stieet at the Tum-A-I.um corner while there were 10 or 12 youngsters trying to get across the street after school. One little girl had even started across and had to run back to the curb to. keep from getting hit. That one instance is just many, for the same thing can be observed almost any time at any crosswalk. If these drivers were to ignore crosswalks in many other towns as they do in Heppner, they would find themselves in the toils of the law 'ri short order. It could happen here too, one of these days. From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson A date to mark on your calen dar is that of Saturday, February 8. On that day a comparison check will be made at the Ber nard Doherty ranch where ear lier a demonstration trial was set up to compare the systematic grub control treatment for the effect'veness. Half of the herd was treated with ET-57 and the other half was not treated in order that comparison could be made. This new treatment which kills grubs before they get Into the backs of cattle, causing loss es to meat and hide, will be used universally another year when the material becomes available on the market. It is given to the cattle in drenches or in large pill form rather than the old con ventional way of spraying. Since it will be the fall of 1958 before this material can be used ranchers should plan to spray with rotonone as usual. With the mild wlnl or we have been hav ing it appears that the first batch of grubs will be coming out soon. Treatment should be made as soon as they are found on the backs of the cattle. Recommend ed mixture is 7Ms pounds of f've percent rolonine in 100 gallons of water. The backs of the cattle should be covered thoroughly using a high pressure sprayer, so the material can be forced into the holes made by the grubs. For small herds dusting the backs with five or six ounces of 5 rotonone lust per head gives excellent control. If the weather stays as it has been spraying can be done any day.. Follow up spraying should be made every 30 days to get continued batches of grubs as they develop. Livestock operators are remind ed that there is little over a week left to register to qualify for a vote in the referendum on creat ion of a Oregon Beef Commission. Registrations close January 21 and the referendum has been tentatively called to begin Feb ruary 10. As of last weekend 85 livestock men have registered. While the number of livestock growers to register is small In comparison to the eligible per sons in Morrow county, they have owned the majority of the cattle. Remember you are not eligible to vote for or against the Beef Commission unless you have reg istered. Registration can be made at this office.

Sixteen of these junior leaders met Saturday morning to draft a Morrow county page for the state 4-H annual. This Is only one of the several projects that they will sponsor during the year. OS 3 whilp AmPriran scientists and engineers work around the clock to perfect our answer to the Russian Sputniks, other Americans-economists and foreign trade experts-are equally busy on the economic front to ? prevent Russian domination or world markets. It has become abundantly clear that no country, America in cluded, has a monopoly on scientific brainpower, and so sci entists of the free world are teaming up more than ever be fore for common welfare. It's also becoming clear, al though more slowly, that foreign friendship, as well as foreign brainpower, Is a mighty valuable asset In our battle to preserve freedom. Because of this, foreign "aid through trade" Is winning Increasing recognition as a valu able part of our foreign policy. Our foreign trade problem has Its roots in the depression, when many Americans favored an iso lationist policy. We felt we didn't need anyone else; that we were self sufficient. It was thought that by shutting out foreign com petition, economic problems would be solved. So tariffs were raised sky-high and our good will abroad dropped sharply. This didn't help our economic situation at home, and in 1934 the U.S. became more realistic. With the enactment of the Re ciprocal Trade Agreements Act, giving the President authority to reduce tariffs without Con gressional log-rolling, a vast In crease In Imports and exports took place and our goodwill abroad soared. Today, with U.S. leadership challenged In the scientific field, many people are hoping that Congress will preserve our ceo- the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act for a long period, as recom mended by the National Council of American Importers and other organizations, and by rewriting the law so as to bring greater stability to world trade and bene fit this nation's economic life. Doubtless some isolationists will suggest that we scrap all progress made and bring the U.S. back to the policies of 1933. If that were to happen, It would mean a return to high tariffs and a drastic reduction in im ports, which would mean a reduc tion in the dollar purchasing power of those countries whose friendship is needed so much in order to maintain peace. With faith in the future and an eye on the lessons of history, America is fighting as hard on the economic front a3 on the nomic leadership by extending I scientific. Welcome news! Last Sunday afternoon the a gent attended one of the largest 4-H club meetings in his exper ience. Meeting at the Bernard Do herty ranch in Blackhorse the Lexington livestock club had ah attendance of 48 club members, younger brothers and sisters and parents. This club has an en rollment of 19 4-H members, the largest of any club in the county. The rabbit drive down Alpine way Sunday was attended by about 100 people, and the result of the killing of some 600 rab bits. C W McNamer and Bob Thorn pson made shipment Saturday of a bunch of cattle to the Port land market. R B Rice of Artesian Farm, was a Heppner visitor on Satur day.

Herbert Ilynd was in the city Tuesday from Cecil. Hot And Changeable The political we.' ner is more like July than January around the Elections Division here at the Capital. Candidates are cramming on the many new election laws, filing procedures and of course nonchalantly inquiring "Who else has filed?" or "What have you heard?" Friends and scouts for leading candidates and prospect ive candidates are most constant ly watching the filings In the Elections and Division. All the three members of the Board of Control and the oldest member of the State Senate, in point of serv'ce, may be rivals for Governor at this year's elect Ions. Governor Robert D Holmes and State Treasurer Sig Unander have declared they will be In the running and Secretary of State Mark Hatfield and Veteran State Senator Howard Belton adjnit they are cogitating the subject. Former Governor Charles A Sprague, editing publisher of the Oregon Statesman will manage the gubernational campaign of Treasurer Unander. Considerable discussion per sists about the drafting of Former Governor Elmo E Smith as a Republic candidate for governor and of senate President Boyd R Overhulse as a Democratic candidate. A surprise came with a re port that Attorney General Rob ert Y Thornton is considering fil- ng for the Democratic nominat ion for U S Representative from Oregon's First District, now held by Walter Norblad. Jason Lee, Salem attorney also has been considering throwing his hat in this race. In Portland Sunday, David Epps, Sweet Home, was selected as cha'rman of the Democratic State Central Committee, succeeding Robert A Bayer, Medford attorn ey. The first candidate to file for State office In the 1958 election was Rep. Clinton Haight Jr Dem ocrat of Baker County who arrived here Friday through snow and ice to sign a Republican filing petition handed him by a clown ish bystander. A leisurely correct ion was made for the red faced member of the present House. Rep. Guy Jonas, Marion County, and Rep Keith Skelton have re higned their legislative positions Ne'ther will rutj. for reelection they have said as the sessions are getting too long and expen sive for members. Law Bars Korean TB Waifs Attorney General Robert Y Thornton ruled Tuesday that Ore gon's tuberculosis hospitals may not provide treatment for Korean orphans. Harry Holt, Creswell farmer who has brought many Korean war orphans to the United States, now plans to bring some who have tuberculosis. In a ruling for the board of Control Thornton said there is no way around the law which pro vides that persons admitted to the state tuberculosis hospitals must be Oregon citizens who have lived in the state for one year. In order to bring the children into the United States, Holt must have certificates showing they will be treated. Board members said there is a possibility that the children m'ght get treatment in other . states. Accident Eoard Advance j In reorganization of the State Industrial Accident' Commission two major changes were made; Friday which were highly ap proved by Governor Robert D Holmes. ' Roy G Green, commission act- j uary, was appointed to the new; position of executive secretary j and administration supervisor. His classification as actuary con tinues and his salary remains unchanged. The new executive secretary came to the commission here nearly ten years ago after service with a consult'ng actu aries firm in Chicago. He has been prominent In state govern ment activities locally and state- vv.se. In the other change the com mission announced the employ, met of Virgil Sexton as super visor of research and statistics. He has held a similar post with the State Unemployment Com. pensation Commission for twen ty years.
