The Music Man Is Here
Look in the closet, upstairs and downstairs, dust off that
old musical instrument that you haven't touched for years
and join the fun that's comin'.
Young Bob DeSpain. a music major, has volunteered to
direct a summer band to play in the Centennial Paradt. He'll
accept anyone who will play. He d like to have representation
of all age groups from 8 to 80 any and all instruments.
Dr. Schaffitz's offer to play a comb has been accepted. So
don't despair if you'd like to lend support to this project
and you don't have an instrument, a comb will do.
A band makes a parade. The Morrow County people can
rioi:t:! appreciate this offer of Bob DeSpains because bands
for summer parades are hard to get because school is not
:n session.
If you know someone who plays, encourage them to "Jump
on the Band Wagon."

37 YEARS AGO 1935
"Absolutely No Irrigation"
was asked by the Irrigon city
water department in hand
bills distributed this morn

that water be conserved
wherever possible. The ac

the low reserve resulting
from the water being turned

Pioneer
Ponderings
BY W.S. CAVERHILL
Our Search for Employment
Due to the failure of tax
levies, and bonding proposals
nwnv employees in public
.service are being laid off.
It is a bit ironic that at the
same time those who are be
ing retained are negotiating
for and getting wage increa
ses. Someone suggested
"that wages and charges be
stabilized and more people
employed with the deferred
increase." I wish I could
remember who said that. He
must have been a ' rare biro",
to fly in the face of our pre
sent system.

Cost of shoes may Rise
NEW YOilK The rocket
ing cost of hides, developing
from a world-wiov shortage,
threatens to raise American
shoe prices b $2 to $3 a pair.
Hides now sell t 'T 32 cents
a pound, twice as much as a
year at:o andtht highest since
the start of the Korean war.
Of the increa.se. 40 n r cent
has come in the last month.
"Men's and women's shoes
now selling for HZ to $23
will have to go up S2 ant!
S3 per puir,"Haroia Gres

shoes now S8 will go up $1 to
$1.50 and boots costing S23
and up will rise S3 to $4."
The world shortage is due
partl to Argentina's bowing
out as an exporter. A ear
ago, to build up breeding
stocks, Argentina tunned hide
exports, Europeans, who
usually buy nine million Ar
gentine hides a year, turned
to the L'nited States for su;-

We got a phone call the
other dav from a gentleman
at Los Angeles. He's look
ing for a small ranch to
"retire" on. Now, ranching
is fine, but the retiring part
kind of gets me. Memories
of Uncle Charley's ranch and
my folks little farm bring
back -retiring at about 8 p.m.
and climbing out of the sack
at about five a.m. Then,
one retires all day to about
two hundred different chores.
And, of cours?, ater sunper
vou chase arounu getting a
few other odds i ends fixed
as best you can, perhaps post

can wait 'til the next day.
Yessir, there's nothing
quite like retiring on a ranch,

As you know President
Nixon has ordered airlines
to frisk passengers in order
to cut down on hijacking. This
means I'll have to quit rid
ing planes. I'm ticklish.
A grandmother was making
her first plane flight. Soon
after the big jet was airborne,
she complained to the ste
wardess that her ears were
popping. The stewardess as
sured her that this was per
fectly natural, and gave her
a couple of pieces of gum.
As she was departing the
plane, Grandma said, "That
gum sure worked wonders,
Honey but how do I get it
out of my ears?'"

Another reason for the
present shortage is due to
price contruls during Phase
1. one major dealer said.
"The government let hide
prices for export go up one
cent a pound, but held do
mestic prices aown,' ne
said. "Naturally everybody
sold his hides overseas and
the American tanners had to
use up their own inventory.
Now the prices have been
evened out, and the Ameri

their supplies again."
In addition to shrinking sup

has increased. More and
more leather jackets and

Sen.
Jernstedt on
Developement
Senator Ken Jernstedt (R-
Hood River), recent appointee
to the Senate Task Force
on Economic Development,
attended the committee's or
ganizational meeting in Portl
and July 5th.
The Task Force was creat
ed by Senate President John
Burns (I Portland), who ap
pointed Senator George Win
gard (R-Eugene) as Chairman
of the Task Force.
One of the main duties of
the Task Force, according to
Burns, is to put forth a pack
age of incentives that will in
duce businesses away from
the heavily populated areas
and into more rural communi
ties. " We must fully understand
the attitude of each Oregon
community toward economic
development before any deci
sion can be made," Jern
stedt said. "I do not want
to force any new business
into a community against the
people's will."
Jernstedt also called for
a full inventory of the ca
pacities of schools, hospitals,
and other social services to
determine whether these ser
vices can handle new econo
mic growth.
