Wheat Referendum
Bows to Defeat;
Wins in Morrow
.Continued lrom page 1)
suits of the Tuesday vote, Har
old Beach of Hermiston, presi
dent of the Oregon Farm Bureau
federation, said that the defeat
means "the nation's farmers are
asking for better wheat legis
lation." "There is not time for bitterness
or rancor over the choice of the
wheat growers," he said. "In
stead, we should all join forces
to work out wheat legislation
in Congress which will move
away from government controls
and toward the free market.
The Farm Bureau program of
bidding land out of production
by competitive bids and tying
price supports to crop cutbacks
was emphasized by Beach as a
sound plan for reducing wheat
surpluses, and he said that he
hoped the administration and
Congress would not consider
that plan.
But in Morrow county there
is grave doubt because of state
ments by members of Congress
ional agriculture committ e e s
who have declared that they will
call for no new programs. They
face the future with considerable
uncertainty and concern.

Cornett Green, who slipped
and fell from a truck while he
was loading sacks of wool near
his feed business Monday, has
two fractures in the base of
his neck and possibly another
in the upper back, his doctor
reported Thursday.
Green is in Pioneer Memorial
hospital under traction and will
be confined there for at least
a week. The doctor said that he
will not be able to work for
probably six weeks.
The accident happened when
Green had used the hoist of a
tractor to lift heavy sacks of
wool on the truck. He climbed
to the top to finish the loading
and stood with one foot on the
side of the load and the other
on the lift of the tractor.' His
foot slipped from the load and
he plummeted some eight feet
to the ground, striking his head.
His face was skinned as he
struck tlie side of the truck on
the way down.
X-ray pictures were taken
Tuesday and sent to Pendleton
for examination and more were
sent Wednesday. They revealed
the fractures.
While Green has been under
some sedation because of the
pain, he may have visitors at
the hospital, the doctor said.
Friendship Club
Gives Four Quilts
Four quilts for the pediatric
ward at Pioneer Memorial hos
pital were presented by the
Friendship club of Cecil to the
hospital Friday, according to
Mrs. Henry Krebs of the club.
The quilts, made by club
members, were designed for use
as spreads and to serve as blan
kets, too.
Earlier, the club gave ped
iatric gowns for use at the hos
pital and have undertaken many
similar projects in their 30-year
history. They have also made
dolls for the state hospital, Mrs.
Krelis said. I
There are 14 members in the
club who combine their efforts
for these worthwhile purposes.

several minor leagues, would

from Cheney. He has two child
ren, one 6Va months and the
other 10 years. Dyke was a pit
