Claude Cox Claude Cox wa a very popular man in Eatern Oregon with a boundless faith In this country. He was straight few ward and plain spoken with colorful ittk-urr.s. P-rKeps a uajr to describe Claude would be to refer to him a n -Accent -the -positive" person. He was an enthus iastic person with a "rarin" to go" attitude toward life. Hard work and personal accident hardly faxed him and he vri ahead to build a fine business. Pride of Oregon creamery products are widely known in this part of Oregon. The Morrow County Creamery Is one of the few cream eries left in the Northwest. It is still operated by the same family and remains as a monument of achievement to Claude and his family. Headed For A Showdown All sort of predictions have been made concerning the decade of the 1970s. Most of them have one thing in com mon. Thev foresee growth. Nineteen hundred and seventy, however, may turn out to be a year that will be looked back upon mainly as a period In which broad economic planning by goernment and the managed economy began their final approach to a day of reckoning as inflation maintained its deadly course. Nineteen hundred and seventy was a year in which it rccair.e obvious to more people than ever before that govern ment spending and government deficits are the root of high and rising prices. It was also the year in which a great many people began to doubt the ability of government to manage its own affairs, much less manage the economy and control federal spending programs. It was the year in w hich there was both recession and inflation a condition for which the party in power will no doubt be blamed but. as time goes on. could become chronil. regardless of political labels. No matter where an observer turned, whether in the field of money, transportation, agriculture, bousing or economics, the failure of centralized planning became painfully apparent la 1370. And the failure has not been overlooked by various studies and reports. There is cow every Indication that as we move further into the 70' s, crises In money management will be recurring as will the generally chaotic conditions that are part and parcel of inflation. With each crisis, the chances are good that repressive improvisation of one kind or another will be brought to bear to cover up part failures of govern ment planning.

Greenbuga can survive and are active at lower temperatures than many of their natural ene mles. Temperaturea of 40-50 de grees or less reduce their activ ity and reproduction. Continuous temperaturea of 20 degree F or lower for seven days or more will reduce populations by over 90. Damage to wheat is via feed ing and the injection of toxins, reports Kerr. Small grain in fested, turn yellow then orange. Damage Is often localized with Infested areas gradually Increas ing and taking on a deadened appearance. Necessity for control In Ore gon Is problematical, with, a good chance that winter tem peratures will control the pest.
