VISITORS
Should anyone have any doubts that Ore
gon's Centennial is drawing out-of-state visitors,
they need only to take a short drive over any
of the state's major highways such as 30 or 99.
Except In the vicinity of towns, an Oregon license
is almost a novelty.
Last weekend this writer made the trip to
Portland to take In the exposition and while trav
eling highway 30 the number of out-of-state
licenses seen was almost unbelievable. We didn't
keep any actual count on the trip, but it Is
pretty safe to say that over 50 of all cars on
the highway were from someplace other than
Oregon. California is predominant and we would
guess that at least half of ail visitors are from
our southern neighbor state. Next in order comes
Washington followed, according to our unofficial
count, by Montana, Idaho, Utah and Texas. Near
ly every state was represented and we even saw
a couple of licenses from Great Britain. Canada
hasn't overlooked us either, with British Columbia,
quite naturally, leading the field.
If each of these carloads of visitors will stay
in the state just two days, it isn't hard to estimate
that they are going to leave a great many mil
lions of dollars In Oregon by the end of the sum
mer. It's Just too bad that we didn't have the
foresight to have a sales tax in operation by this
summer the state's finances would certainly
have been better off.
Speaking of the Centennial Exposition, we
had our first look at It last weekend and we
weren't disappointed in the least. We won't try
to describe it, for it has been done by many at
great lengths, but we felt it was well worth the
trip. We doubt that anyone could work their way
through the trade fair without finding something
of particular interest to them. The trade fair too,
by the way, will remain for the duration of the
exposition.

freight reductions, which are
only a small start to the many
advantages this great multiple
purpose dam will bring the en
tire Inland empire.
Here In Heppner we have re
ceived word that funds are be-
jing provided to secure a study
!of the much needed flood con
trol dam above this city that
has been agitated for over many
years. Mr Ullman's predecessor
was unable in four years to get
any such recognition of a possi
ble need for this very vital work.
Our Congressman nas an al
most perfect attendance record
and I would like to point out
that Mr Hoffa and Dave Beck
are and have always been Re
publicans and Republican sup
porters, not friends of Al Ull
man's. We resent the coupling
of Al's name with them In view
of this fact and the fact that
both supported President Elsen
hower for election and re-elec
tion. I know of no surer way to
secure Al's election than to con
tinue such outragtous charges.

micks, kinds of shrink, weight

of a number of different weigh
ing conditions in cattle bought

of shrinkage and how to deter
mine a good selling deal would
do well to get a copy and study
It. We have ordered additional
bulletins which we should re
ceive soon.
We have known for some time
that Morrow county was highly
productive as far as the many
commodities which we grow,
however, we found out this past
week that there Is another crop
that does exceptionally well.
This new crop is pond-reared
Kamloops trout. 1V4 - 2 Inch trout
released May 9 in ponds at the
Don Greenup ranch have reach
ed 5V4 t0 6 Inches In slightly
over two months since their re
lease. Trout normally are expec
ted to grow 1 inch per month.
At this pace trout raising will
be interesting where released In
the dozen or more ponds here
in the county. Approximately
15,000 were planted this spring
which will make a lot of good
eating with this rate of growth
for late this fall and early next
spring.
Many ranchers unhappy with
this year's barley support prices
will be consoled by the report
that barley supplies throughout
the country are somewhat small
er than usual. California's 1959
barley crop Is expected to be
fully a tenth lighter than last
years which was a small one
too. Mid-west barley is reported
damaged from drought, insects
and disease to the extent that
quality is expected to be reduced,
With this picture in mind per
haps barley prices will stay sub
stantially above the support
price as demand strengthens la
ter this fall. It would be a good
Idea to put barley under loan
and keep your eye on market
prices.

Chats With Your 1
Home Agent
By ESTHER KIRMIS
I experienced quite a thrill
last Sunday I saw Lawrence
Welk and his champagne music
makers in person at the Portland
exposition. I have long been a
Lawrence Welk fan even be
fore he began his famous TV
series. You see, Lawrence was
born and raised In my home
state of North Dakota and I can
remember when he used to play
over WNAX, the Yankton, South
Dakota radio station.
His TV program soon became
a family favorite of all the mid
west people who remembered
him, and all the other people
in the country who like to listen
to his danceable music.
The temperature was swelter
ing in the Portland arena, but
I would estimate that 3500 saw
him during the first Sunday
afternoon performance. The sale
of hand fans skyrocketed as
everyone purchased and fanned
in time with the toe-tapping mu
sic of Welk's men.
There was some disappoint
ment when Mr Welk announced
that Alice Lon, the Little cham
pagne lady, and the Lennon sis
ters had not accompanied him.
(Alice Lon has quit the show, I
hear, and the Lennon sisters had
an engagement at Atlantic City).
But three young members of his
junior band accompanied him
and helped make the show,
which was patterned pretty
much after his TV shows, a great
success.

Dad's a
"Budding" Genius
Time to start planting flowers
again, so here's a few details
about the Fowler Garden Pres
ervation System.
Youngsters used Dad Fowl
er's garden as a short cut to the
playground. He had a tough
time keeping them out until he
started a new system.
He called the small fry to
gether and had them print their
names on cards. The cards
were put on stakes near every
clump of flowers. Right away,
each kid began to root for "his"
particular plants to come up
first, voluntarily kept tres-
-and
passers oil "his" area
Dad's garden thrived!
From where I sit, there's a
system for just about every
thing . , , even for getting along
with people! The best one I
know is tolerance. It means re
specting your neighbor's pref
erences as well as your own.
For instance, I prefer an oc
casional glass of beer with
dinner. You may like Iced tea.
If we accept each other's
choice, we're on our way to
making our friendship "flower."

ONE OF THE 7 BIG BESTS CHEVROLET GIVES YOU OVER
ANY CAR IN ITS FIELD
Take it, not from us, but from
official results of this year's

miles per gallon in its field. For a

first two places in their class, get

And here are more expert, impar

facts backing us up on Chevy's
other six bests:
BEST TRADE-IN
Check the figures in any N.A.D.A.
Guide Book. Chevrolet used car
prices last year averaged up to
$128 higher than comparable
models of the "other two.''
BEST STYLE
It's the only car of the leading
low-priced 3 that's unmistakably
modern in every line. "In its price
class," says POPULAR SCIENCE
magazine, "Chevrolet establishes
a new high in daring styling."
BIST BRAKES
In direct competitive tests of re
peated stops from highway speeds,
conducted by NASCARt, Chevro
let out-stopped both of the other
leading low-priced cars-and why
not: Chevy brakes are far larger,
built with bonded linings, to help
lengthen brake life by as much as
66.
BEST ROOM
Official dimensions reported to
A.M.A.t make this clear. For
example, Chevy front seat hip
room is up to 5.9 inches wider
than comparable cars.
