FRUIT GROWERS AT
UBRARY, DEC. 1 5TH
At a recent meeting of the board of
directors of the Oregon Grower's Co
operative association, it was decided
that in reorganizing nt the expiration
of the present contracts only dried
ana cannoa ituiib wouiu uo miimitu
through the organization.
In view of this fact, the local grow
ers who are now members of the as
sociation, are working on a plan to
reorganize as a packing company for
tho purpose of packing their fruit and
arranging for the sale through some
established sales agency. If enough
interest is manifested and sufficient
tonnage secured to Insure tho practi
cal operation of a packing plant tho
local growers will start operation
under their own control next season.
In tho past, co-oneratives in this
district have operated undir a 'system
whereby the sales wew handled thru
one agency, but it is .the plan in this
movement to allow the growers the
privilege of selling their fruit thru
the agency of their choice.
On December the fifteenth, an
open meeting will bo held at which
all growers, whether previous mom
bers of the Oregon Growers or not,
are invited. Plans for the now organ
ization will be discussed. Tlo meet
ing will be held Saturday afternoon" at
1:30 in tho lecture room of the pub
lic library. All growers am welcome.
FRANCE
SUE IF DELAYED
PARIS Long waits by automobiles
at railroad crossings in France pro
miso to grow shorter, in view of a
recent Paris court decision awarding
! damages to M. Schreiber for being
i kept waiting by a railroad train for
i42 minutes.
Schreiber tried strong language on
a switching crow, but without effect,
so ho got somo witnesses and filed
suit. It developed that an old law
authorized department prefects to fix
the limit of delay whore train stops,
or when switching was likely to ex
j ceed ten minutes. As thero was no
j such limit in this case the court ac
cepted ten minutes as the time a rail
! road might block a highway, and
j recognized the right of those delayed
j to collect damages for loss of timo
jand mental suffering.
