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.

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

of years as older animals are
culled and the number of sus
ceptible animals is reduced.
4. 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

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.

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.
The State Land Board may not
charge a royalty for sand or
other material removed from the
Columbia River when the sand

TAX ACT "IN" NEXT DAY
If the act to Increase Income
taxes 10 percent is voted down
at the Nov 8, I960 general elec
tion the taxpayers will be rid
of this legislated (1959) tax boost
for a short time only as the
next Legislature, in wx, m-j
reinact a similar law. If the in
crease is adopted Dy me vmcia
the act becomes law the next
day, according to an interpre
tation by Atty Gen Robert Y
Thornton, made for the State Tax
Commission.

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.
