Single Copy 10 Cents. tt if The New "Leisure" From the Oregon Voter: "A modern mother and young son were shopping In a supermarket. The child, trying to be helpful, picked up a package and brought it to her. 'Oh, no, honey! protested the mother. 'Go put It back. You have to cook that." This is more than an amusing little anecdote. It is illustrative of a quiet and peaceful revolution which has brought about profound changes in the family life of the nation over a comparatively brief span of years. The shelves of our markets are loaded with products which are all ready to eat or nearly so. The result is that the housewife needs to spend far less time in the kitchen than did her mother. She has a "new leisure" to use as she wishes and the enthusiastic public response to the processed, frozen and pre-cooked foods shows that she is making the most of It. It costs money to ready these foods for the grocer's and butcher's shelves. Much more labor is involved than with foods in the raw state, along with additional materials. And that is the reason why the "spread" between the price paid for foods in the raw materials state and the price charged the consumer at retail has widened. That was as inevitable a development as the rising of the sun. "Built-in convenience", of course, Isn't confln- ed to foods. We demand products of a thousand kinds which give us more pleasure, more ef ficiency, and demand less of our time. So, the manufacturers produce them and the retailers strive to stock them to move in high volume at minimum prices, into the homes of consumers. It Starts at Home- Not long ago a New York City judge wrote to the New York Times saying that in the 17 years he had been on the bench not one Chinese teen ager had been brought before him on a juvenile delinquency charge. P II Chang, Chinese consul-general in New York, was asked to comment. He said "I have heard this story many times from many judges. I will tell you why I think this is so. Filial Piety is a cardinal virtue my people have brought over from the China that was free. A Chinese child, no matter whore he lives, is brought up to recognize that he cannot shame his parents. Before a Chinese child makes a move, he stops to think what the reaction of his parents will be. Will they be proud, or will they be ashamed? Above all other things, the Chinese teen-ager is anxious to please his parents." The amazing record of the Chinese children and young people shows that it is in the home that the cure for juvenile delinquency will be found and in no other place. From The County Agent's Office By K C ANDERSON At this time of the year we have questions asked concerning calfhood vaccination for Brucel losis. Over the years and espec ially since Morrow County be gan their clean-up program for a Modified Certified Bangs free area, calfhood vaccination of hei fers has become more popular. There are, however, many herds that have not yet started this good practice. Recently the USDA listed some of the points to ex pect from Brucellosis vaccina tion which we think are quite timely now. VACCINATIONS WILL: 1. Provide about 65 protection from infection under average field conditions. 2. Help limit the spread of Infection within a herd, once it gains entrance, if a majority of the herd is vaccinated. 3. Gradually reduce the per centage of diseased animals In an infected herd over a period STAR THEATER Thurs., FrL, Sat..

Eliminate brucellosis from a small number of herds where natural infection is weak and management practices are good. 5. Reduce animal Infection by about 80 in areas whore a ma jority of calves are vaccinated. 6. Reduce herd Infection by about 207o in areas where a ma jority of calves are vaccinated. 7. Mask or moderate the sym toms in some animals which con tract the disease in spite of vac cination. 8. Cause a reaction to the blood test which will disappear com pletely in nearly all animals by the time they are 30 months old if they were vaccinated at the ages of four through eight months. VACCINATIONS WONT; 1. Eradicate brucellosis it will help to control it. 2. Provide complete disease immunity in any animal. If ex posure to infection is great enough and often enough, resis- i tance of any vaccinated animal lean be overcome. 3. Provide 100 protection from , infection regardless of the num-j ber of times animals are re vaccinated. Revacclnation does not increase an animal's resis tance to infection. 4. Prevent all animals from aborting once they become in fected. 5. Interfere with normal re-! production. 6. Cause the disease In cattle or other livestock. j 7. Cause milk to become con taminated with Brucella organ Isms. 8. Cause calves or older ani mals to become carriers or spreaders of brucellosis. j 9. Cure brucellosis it will only help prevent It. 10. Completely eliminate the danger of human Infection. 11. Change the normal course of the disease in an animal al ready infected with brucellosis at the time of vaccination. Vaccinate all of the heifer calves you expect to keep for breeding purposes when they're from four through eight months of age. That way they'll have a chance to build up the greatest amount of resistance to infection by the time they're of breeding age. Once you've vaccinated your calves and blood tested and dis posed of all reactors in your herd, avoid bringing in animals that might cause a new outbreak of infection. When you buy replace ments, be sure they're vaccinated animals from brucellosis-free herds. By using all of these tools, brucellosis can be eradicated not only from your herd but from every herd in the United States. From recent studies made at one of the state agricultural col leges, wood preservatives con taining penta-chlorophenol or creosote may be extremely toxic to swine that come in direct con tact with it. Any surplus mater ial that Is not sufficiently absor bed in the wood so as to present S B O C The State Board Out of Con trol is a fit name just now for the powerful state governmental trio consisting of the governor, secretary of state and the state treasurer. Governor Mark Hatfield has been voted down recently by the other two members. State Treas urer Sig Unander and Secretary of State Howell Appling. This is not unusual, when not follow ing a pattern. Previously Ap pling, who was appointed by Gov Hatfield, usually agreed with the governor. Unander, usually quiet, has kept almost silent re cently. Each is under consider able political pressure, with Mark Hatfield the choice of the West for vice president and no surprise to Oregonians if the pre fix "vice" is not used in his case. The potent contention of the East against California could squeeze Nixon off the ticket en tirely. New Yorkers just don't want anything of the West on their front pages. There are rumors around the j a dry surface, or so that no penta or creosote can be rubbed off, would not be considered safe for use with little pigs. The degree of toxicity lessens as the pigs become older. Toxicity is partic ularly evident in swine having direct contact over an extended period with freshly treated lum ber containing excessive quan tities of wood preservative. This should not discourage anyone from using a pole type structure where pressure treated poles are used, or even pressure treated wood for use in pens, there might be some danger, however, if the pigs should chew some of the pressure treated wood. If pres sure treated lumber is used in the construction of pens it might be well to consider tight par titions. No treated lumber should be used in the floor unless ade quate bedding Is provided at all times. The recent hasslp ahnut fpH. eral grading, of lamb has been ! settled, at least for awhile. The Federal grading service for lamb and mutton will be suspended for one year starting January 4, 19W).

LEGAL OPINIONS Recent opinions on Oregon laws by Attorney General Robert Y Thornton include: A defendant in a criminal case committed to the state hospital before trial is liable for care and maintenance while so com mitted. The effective date of an ordi nance of a city withdrawing an nexed area of a rural fire pro tection district determines the withdrawal date. Food declared to be adulter ated by a regulation of the United States Food and Drug Ad ministration is not adulterated food per se under the Oregon Food Act. A fire prevention code for a county fire zone cannot be adop ted by a county court or board of county commissioners in the absence of a statutory authority to do so.

It was authorized to request the State Emergency Board for $5,500 to put the pro gram into effect for the remain ing 19 months of the fiscal year. The federal government would put up $11,000. The objective is to train the retarded so they can be employ, ed. There are 54,000 retarded children in Oregon. Governor Hatfield has hieh praise for the movement. He said: "We have a real responsi bility to these handicapped cit izens a responsibility to provide care, treatment, training, educa tion and job opportunities con sistent with their potential in life." TO STUDY WOMEN'S PEN There are times when Gov Mark Hatfield gets things done when the other two members of the State Board of Control oppose him. The governor wanted to send the board's secretary, J N Peet, to Denver to a Western States meeting on proposals to create a regional prison for wo men. Peet has just returned with valuable information and plans for a "share and save set up.
