And 5 frequently there are Bae new scientific find- • 9 ings to be presented ' This week, chiefly a ■ ' a because a new school Ban year is beginning, I Bl want to discuss again the food es- sentíais. Perhaps I should men tion the fact that these comments on food are not just mine alone. They do not represent merely a personal opinion. Instead they are the result of years of painstaking scientific research by nutrition specialists who have made the laboratory investigation of foods their life’s work. And, what is important to us, their findings are practically unani mous. They all stress the impor tance of milk, for example, both for children and adults. The fa miliar “quart a day” is not mere sales talk. It is in itself a scien tific conclusion, resulting from countless calculations and recheck ings of the growing child’s need for the elements of milk. Similar ly, we know the truth about eggs, and bread and butter. There should be a pleasing variety of course. Even milk is just as valu able given in many different ways. Meals should be cheerful,’ pleasant occasions, attractively offered. All parents and school lunch managers who adhere to these essentials can feel assured that they are doing their best to promote child health and development. School Health Examinations, a most important topic, will be dealt with by Dr. Ireland next week. IRRIGON NEWS By Mrs. W, C.

STREAMLINE TRAIN SERVICE TO CHICAGO, RESUMED PORTLAND, Ore., Feb. (Special) —National leadership in fast trans continental passenger service was again resumed by the Pacific North west with the first sailing of the Union Pacific streamliner from Portland to Chicago, Thursday, Feb ruary 6, cutting a business day from the travel time between Port land and the east. The schedule of 39 3-4 hours, Portland to Chicago, will effect second morning arrival in Chicago instead of arrival the third morning as on conventional trains, it was pointed out by Union Pacific officials. The railroad makes reservations for coach passage on the streamliner with each seat numbered, just as it makes pullman space reservations. The streamliner is not an extra fare train, both coach and pullman class tickets being honored. Portland will precede San Fran cisco in transcontinental streamliner service by at least two months, as the Union Pacific streamlined trains for operation between those cities and Chicago, now under construc tion, are expected to be completed in April. Denver-Chicago streamliners should be ready in June. VACANCIES IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY.

OUR MAN IN CHARGE IS EXPERIENCED. HE WAS FORMERLY EMPLOYED BY THE LARGEST DRY CLEANING PLANT IN EASTERN OREGON. WILLIAM A. CASE, Manager CITES LAX CHARTER POLICIES IN THE PAST OREGON STEPS AHEAD AS Find* a Chief Cause of Bank Failures Was Too Many Banks—Existing Sound Banks Serving Communities Well NEW YORK. — Existing sound banks, especially the small banks in the rural districts which are serving their communities well, should be pro tected from any return of the over banked local conditions caused by former ax chartering policies, which were mainly to blame for the unfavor able failure record of the past, says the Economic Policy Commission of the American Bankers Association. This is brought out in a report covering an in vestigation by the commission of bank failures and public policies In charter ing banks. “The Commission’s study gives in Impressive revelation of how great a part mistaken public policies in the chartering of banks played in creating the unsound bankins structure which finally collapsed with the Bank Holiday In March 1933,” Robert V. Fleming, president of the association, says in a foreword. “Over-production of banks, literally by thousands, over many years In the I face of Insistent warnings not only from bankers and others who recog nized the danger, but even more so from the mounting records of bank failurea themselves, is clearly shown to have constituted as a whole one of the great est single economic errors in the history | of the Nation." A Recurrence Feared He refers to fears of a recurrence of | over-banking recently expressed by Federal banking authorities, to the powers given tle Federal Deposit In surance Corporation by the provision of the Banking Act of 1935 over the admis- | aion of banks to membership in the in- i surance fund, to strengthened state laws and to the policies now being fol lowed by both national and state super- i vlsory authorities aimed to safeguard the nation against over-banking. "But sound laws and conscientious officials are not of themselves always sufficient safeguard In any field of our complex national life unless they have the active support of public opinion,” he adds. “It is the purpose of the Ameri can Bankers Association to aid In mar shaling public opinion in support of both national and state supervisory au thorities in their efforts to strengthen and protect the banking structure.” The Economic Policy Commission summarizes Its findings In part as fol lows: “The facts show a distinct causal re lationship between the over-chartering of banks and the abnormal bank fail ure conditions that prevailed from 1920 i to the bank holiday in 1933. It is desir able that studies be mad» on the basis of exper 'ence to develop standards gov erning the number of banks or the vol ume of bank capital which can be suc cessfully operated. "Such a study would embrace the question whether banking facilities can best be supplied to the rural districts by small unit banks or by branches from banks of substantial capital in larger centers. Existing sound banks, which are serving their communities well should be protected from any return of the over-banked local conditions caused in the past by lax chartering policies. Banking Official* Queried "An inquiry among state bank com missioners shows a preponderant opin ion against Increasing materially the number of banks, coupled with the fact that present laws give them sufficient discretion to prevent a repetition of the grave errors of the past. "Under prevailing abnormal condi tions, with the Federal Government ex tensively exercising loaning powers in competition with the banks, and with industry itself so largely supplied with funds as to render it to a great degree Independent of normal bank borrowing, the banking structure even with Its present reduced numbers, finds it diffi cult to support its existing capful in vestment and operating personnel. "These are new factors. Intensifying the need for highly prudent and re strictive chartering policies. We urge the retirement of the Federal Govern ment from the banking business as rapidly as the return of normal busi ness conditions warrant” Sergeant J. T. Costello, United States Army recruiting officer, Pen dleton, Oregon, announces the fol lowing vacancies for the month of February.

Nearly all leading poultry breed ing flocks of Oregon are now free from pullorum disease as the result of a 10-year intensive campaign of eradication work, reports Dr. W. T. Johnson, poultry pathologist of Ore gon State college. This disease, for merly called bacilliary white diar rhea, has been the most important factor in brooder stock losses, he says, and is yet where chicks come from untested flocks. By testing the breeding stock by means of treating blood samples with serum, infected birds are located and eliminated, thus preventing transmission of the infection from parent stock to the chicks. Eradica tion of the infection from breeding stock finally results in production of pullorum-free chicks. More than one million blood samp les taken from individual birds have been tested at the O.S.C. laboratory in the past 10 years. The testing method used is accurate to a high degree, as are somewhat similar tests for bovine T.B. and Bangs disease. Another and somewhat related step in the progress of Oregon as a poultry breeding state is the final approval of the Oregon Poultry Im provement association as a unit in the federal system of record of per formance or R.O.P. organizations. F. L. Knowlton of the state col lege, R.O.P. supervisor for this state, announced the acceptance of the Oregon organization following a re cent conference between the state officers and two representatives of the United State department of agri culture. The agreement arrived at means that the Oregon R.O.P. formed last April is now fully accredited nation ally and that members can sell R.O. P. chicks, hatching eggs, cockerels and pullets this year rather than wait until January 1937 as first thought necessary. Officers and directors of the U.S.R.O.P. in Oregon are Morris Christensen, McCoy, president; Vir gil Parker, Blachly, secretary; J. A, Hansen, Corvallis; P. A. Gent, Eu- gene; Lloyd Smyth, Canby; Ambrose Brownell and Fred Cockell. Milwau- kle: and U. G.
