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.

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.

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”

POULTRY BREEDING STATE.
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
