Barak, Bob Lovgren, Roy Llnds-
trom. Leland McJunney ana
Glenn Campbell.
In pointing out the purpose of
the organization, Mr. Logan
slates: "We have organized with
one goal In mind to raise the
price of our farm products
through collective bargaining.
It is apparent that the market
price for any product will not
advance without pressure. There
has been a vacuum In this field.
As Individuals we have accept
ed the offered price.
"As the organization of the
largest membership with the
biggest production, we can bar
gain for better prices. By join
ing the N.F.O., we can gain
this power in the market place,
as farmers In 48 states are do

Put Yourself in the Driver's Seat...
ENJOY Matchless Comfort and
Convenience ...
The big, tough and rugged line has established an outstanding reputation for big capacity,
grain saving ability, rugged strength and handling ease. And now there are many more new fea
tures that assure improved crop-handling efficiency, more comfort and convenience, new styling,
more strength, more dependability. .
Take the new operator's deck . . . it's 2Q larger. Take new hydrostatic power steering that
gives you true "feel-of-the-wheel" handling ease. Or the new hydrostatic drive that provides infin
ite speed control; forward or reverse, with one lever, without clutching or shifting.
Add these and more, and you'll know the big, tough, and rugged line is better than ever, in
side and out.

Fire Prevention
Steps May Save
Extensive Losses
Fire Prevention is aimed to
get ride of all possible fire haz
ards around your nome ana
farm. But it's good sense to be
prepared if fire should strike,
says County Extension Ageni
Harold Kerr.
"Knowing what to do until
help comes can save lives and
property," he points out. "And
the 'knowing' should extend to
every member of the family.
Discuss your fire emergency
plans with the family and re
mind them of the rules at reg
ular intervals."
The first rule is to get every
one out of the house the inst
ant you discover or suspect a
fire. Then report the fire fast
to your fire department serving
your area, or to a neighbor who
"can summon help. Know exact
ly how to reach the fire depart
ment by phone.
Next step is to go into action
with your "first aid" fire fight
ing equipment if you can do
so without taking any unneces
sary risks.
One important tool is the fire
extinguisher. Be sure it is of
adequate size and proper type
for the kind of fire expected.
Don't get stuck with one of the
substandard extinguishers typ
ified by the aerosol "beer-can'
kind which contain usually
less than a pint of liquid or
from 12 to 16 ounces of dry
chemical. They lust aren't ade
quate and reliable in an emer
gency, when you need them
most. Approved extinguishers
ones vou can rely on are mark
ed with a "UL" or an "FM",
which means they have been
thoroughly tested and passed by
recognized laboratories.
Extinguishers should be spot
ted in fire danger areas like
home kitchens, barns, machine
sheds and storage tanks of gas
oline and kerosene. Be sure they
are checked and re-charged regularly-
.... i
Another good fire fighting tool
is a garden hose. Even filled
water buckets are useful. Par
ticularly for home safety, lad
ders to reach the highest roof
tops and windows should be
ouickly available at all times.
Another fire safety tip is this:
Whenever vou are using gas
oline, be sure to treat it with
respect. Remember it gives off
flammable vapors which need
only a tiny flame or spark to
turn into searing fire or dan
gerous explosion.
So do all refueling outdoors
where the dangerous vapors
can't accumulate. Keep away
from all ignition sources, and
observe a strict smoking rule.

ner, these Pendleton Business and Professional
Firms will be happy to serve you.
