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.

County Agent's Office

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.
Recently a lunior leaders club
was organized with the biggest
enrollment yet for Morrow coun
ty. Older 4-H club members,

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

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.
"This change," said Govern
or Holmes, "is in keeping with
