HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES. Thursday. March 6. 1958 - X? - k lip s lft&;il.-- ft "i -ll36SS,., ' WASHINGTON, D C Following the annual reading o! George Washington's "Farewell Address" before the House of Represent atives, Speaker Sam Rayburn and Representative Al Ullman aid pictured examining a copy of the famed address. Congressman Al Ullman, who is serving his first term from Oregon's second congressional district, was chosen by Speaker Rayburn to read the famed valedictory address in honor of the first president's birthday. "I think it Is unfortunte that the livestock producers of Oregon have seen fit to turn down a formula designed to enable pro- iducers to help themselves. The commodity commission concept in Oregon is clearly subject to I local control by the producers I themselves. "I predict that in the foresee able future we shall see a nat ional checkoff plan for beef pro motion; while that may be very desirable, Oregon producers as such will have little If any voice in the amount of the assessment or in the manner in which funds will be spent." The board of review which ex amined the records of the refer endum procedure and looked over many of the ballots and regis tration forms was composed of E B Jackman, range specialist at Oregon State college, and Free man A Holmer, head of the elect ions division for the state of Oregon. Holmer substituted for David O'Hara, former head of the elections division, who was out of town at the time set for the review. ,; ' The board stated that all re cords were in order and the en tire procedure was in accordance with the commodity commission act.

They are practicing Cattlemen Reject Beef Commission Oregon cattlemen voted decis ively against forming a beef commission, Robert J Steward, director of the state department of agriculture, announced Feb ruary 27 following a meeting of the board chosen to review the referendum ballot. The vote was 2152 against, and 942 for. Steward said that about three fourths of those who registered their production voted. Nearly 3100 producers who own 377,010 cattle (taxroll basis) voted. Well over the one-third total state production (part of a dual re quirement to pass the proposal) was represented in the ballot. In Morrow county the vote was 42 yes to 25 no which represent ed a tax count of 9474 cattle and was one of only nine counties in the state to favor the formation of the commission. By contrast Gilliam county voted only 10 yes to 120 no. Steward issued this statement after he was advised of the vote: now so we must start getting the horses in shape. Mrs Kirk has ordered a very nice looking trophy and is having it engraved with everything but the winner's name. "The Wrang lers" would fill that space nicely. Let's see if we can't put it there.

(wwivIm up a S(MAbotAd Ia w eaat job Husbands have to be fed three times a day, and watched over seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. Some of them need to be told when to buy a new suit, when to have a physical check up. They need praise when things go right and sympathy when things go wrong. And almost all of them have to be reminded about making plans for retirement. Ifs a good thing a husband's love is worth all the trouble he causes. Retirement is in the future for all of us. And the sooner we start making plans for it, the hap pier these years can be. Does your husband have a hobby? If not, urge him to develop one. Does he have a retirement savings plan? If not, en courage him to start one. Good health, outside interestand freedom from financial worries spell happiness in retirement One of the best ways to prepare for retirement is to invest regularly in U. S. Savings Bonds. They're solid as a rock-guaranteed by your Gov ernment They're loss-proof, fire-proof, theft proof the Treasury will replace them without charge in case of mishap. And best of all, U. S. Savings Bonds now pay you higher interest-fasterl Every Series E Bond purchased since February 1, 1957, pays you a safe and sure 3- interest when held to maturity. It pays higher interest, too, in the earlier years, and matures in only 8 years and 11 months. So now, more than ever, it's smart to save with guaranteed-safe U. S. Savings Bonds. Your hus band can buy them regularly where he banks or through the Payroll Savings Plan where he works. But just be sure he starts todayl Part of every American's savings belongs in U. S.
