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.

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.

31 years. They were active with
school and church activities dur

American Legion and the Elks.
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

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.

glint in his eye says I'll have no
more trouble soon's I get my
