Well Fed Americans Interesting statements were made at the recent Oregon Cattlemen's Assn. meeting. Some of these things you prob ably already know about, others may come as something of a surprise. Climaxing the 4-day convention at the Portland Sheraton Hotel, 400 beef producers were told, "If Oregon Is going to continue as an important beef producing state, production ef ficiency will be the all important factor." Dr. James E. Oldfield, head of Oregon State University's Animal Science Department, told the large audience that there are only two ways to increase beef production profits, "Either decrease your production, or increase your efficiency." Ealier In the convention, Bill House, President of the American National Cattlemen's Association, told the audience, "Today, one farmer produces enough food for himself and 42 others. When he shuts down the ranch because he can't make a living on the price of beef, this has a direct relationship on the 42 city dwellers who depend on him for their food." Somehow, he suggested, this message must be communi cated to the folks in the city, or there won't be anyone left to tend the farm. He said it is not possible to continue to feed the American public at current market prices. "Today's American family spends 16' of its budget for food," House pointed out, while in many parts of the world families must spend 50 of their take-home pay to put food on the table, and they still don't eat nearly as well as Amer icans do." He mentioned the beef boycotts that became a popular cause last summer when prices did creep up high enough for cattlemen to show a fair profit. House cited the New York beef boycott, noting that it was sponsored by, and probably paid for, by the Australian beef producers. "Other foreign beef producers, as well, are trying to destroy our relationship with the American housewife so they can increase their import quotas," he asserted. Walter Leth, director of the State Department of Agricul ture, said the farmer and the rancher have a big selling job to do in communicating the importance of agriculture to the urban population. 'The 5 of us who live on the farm must explain our situation to the 95 who take food for granted," said Leth. Gordon Walker, President of the Agri-Business Council, echoed these thoughts, adding, "The name of the game has been cheap food. All of us in agriculture have to take the initiative to promote adequate understanding to attain an 'about face' in the thinking of our counterparts in the city." He observed that this educational process must be accelerated now, because tomorrow may be too late. Kl 4 .. . i i i. JL .

LETTERS to EDITOR 1 Dear Editors: Since Heppner and Morrow County are such strongholds for Masonic Orders I felt they will be Interested In hearing about the annual banquet of the Ma sonic Lodge, Easter Star and af filiate orders in the auditorium of Terwilllger Plaza Monday evening. Some 150 persons were served. Dr. Howard Stephenson was master of ceremonies; Fred Johnson was in charge of ar rangementa for everything and was assisted by many commit tees. The tables arranged In the shape of a Star were decorated with bouquets of dozens of ros ea given by a florist &hop at Beaverton. Top event of the evening was the Shrine Chanters chorus com posed of 31 Chanters in full Shrine regalia who sang several numbers to the Joy of all. For this event they said they would charge nothing for their services but since all money they make is given to the Shrine Hospital for ciippled children, it was de-j cided by the Masons of the Pla za to take a voluntary offering and for this $78.00 was given much to the surprise of the Chanters. Ormond R. Bean was in charge of this. I am a member of Ruth Chap ter No. 32, Heppner. Josephine Ma honey Baker 2545 S. V. Terwilliger, Apt. 525 Portland 97201 Dear Editors: Denny Jones.

Way Back When ii is interesting how these two met. Darl who was later to oecome known as Shorty was oorn in Missouri and crew nn in Iowa. Eva Shannon who was later to become Mrs. Hudson . a limn in inwa ana grew up iMBMiuri. uari returned to work in Missouri. He and his eirl friend, with Eva's sister and her boy friend enjoyed homemade ice cream and cake at the Shan non home one Sundav afternoon. That night they ail went to church. Eva sat next to an op en window. During the sermon Darl tossed a package of gum through the open window into her lap. So with this early ver sion f "Sweets to the Sweet", their romance started. The next Wednesday night he came to call. This was a mus ical evening. The whole family enjoyed singing around the pi ano and playing the harmonica. Four years later, one of them Darl spent in the army, they were married on her parents' 25th wedding anniversary. They farmed the dust bowl years in Missouri where two of their children. Hubert and Wilma (Mrs. Jack McTimpeny) were born. A relative returned to Missouri and painted Oregon as the land of milk and honey. The Hudsons with hor parents and two sisters chartered a train car and came to Heppner in 1928. This was wher Shorty got his nickname alongiWith his brother-in-law who , became "Slim". Franklin Grade scared them to death. Heppner was smaller then than now. Two streets were Dav- ed. They were used to flat and green country and the drv hills surrounding Heppner looked pretty bad to them. Then as now it was hard to find a olaee to live. Mr. Hudson's first job was helping lamb for Oliver Justiep Then he went 30 miles south to work at Reed's Mill for the then fabulous salary of $400 n day. Men worked in Missouri for the same kind of labor fnr i.ou a day. uKiawin, deceased. Donna (Mrs. George Perkins) anH .lav T- . - ukk were oorn after they moved io rieppner.

CHUCK WAGON These here frosty mornings remind a feller of our wonder ful modern conveniences. Of course we wouldn't want to have missed knowing how to chop wood, how to trim a wick and how to churn cream. And, by golly, no one ever charged us twenty five bucks to fix our out door plumbing! Perhaps we're pretty much out of style around here. At least so far none of us have been marching around protesting anytning. I could, of course, com plain that Dorothy with an eye on my big rat tummy seldom serves that second piece of toast Otherwise this good ole U.S.A might not be 100 perfect, but it surely seems like the best Idea yet.
