Who can find a Bargain
You can, when you buy beef!
The cost of all types of meat, including beef, is up only 15 since 1946,
compared to hourly wage increases of 110, housing 39, transporta
tion 57, and medical care 79.
Today, only 18 of your tax-free income is spent on food-the lowest
amount in history.
Meat is a bargain, and beef is your best value of all! High in the neces
sary proteins for your active family, beef is one of your best food sources
both in quality and quantity.
Shop wisely! Buy quality Oregon beef.

National Forest
Suffers Vandalism
The Umatilla National Forest
suffered several acts of vandal
ism and campground littering
during the 1966 camping and
hunting season. The resulting
damage, caused by the actions
of a few careless and Irrespon
sible individuals, creates incon
venience to the majority of the
camping public and an unnec
essary drain on the campground
construction and maintenance
fund of the Forest Service.
Money which could be used to
build more and better camp
ground facilities must be spent
on reconditioning broken fire
places, picking up unnecessary
campground litter, repainting
defaced buildings, recondition
ing carved and burned picnic
tables, replacing shot-up signs,
etc.
The Forest Service asks the
cooperation of the public in re
porting to the nearest district
ranger, county sheriff, or state
police, any acts of vandalism
which they observe. Our aim is
to provide clean, well maintain
ed campgrounds that will be
pleasant and enjoyable lor all
who use them.
