Imoprtant Industry The executive said he cnsldered the milk industry one of the most 'Im portant of the state, and declared he was gratified In securing the as sistance of three outstanding men to serve on the control board. The governor's action caused little surprise as the milk control board had been known to be under fire from various sources for months. The first objectors had been the retailers, who had balked at the prices set by the board. Subsequently the Portland Co-operative association had protested npainst the manner in which ,the board assessed the cost of handling surplus milk. A measure taking from the control board the power to handle surplus milk passed both houses of the 1935 legislature, but was vetoed by the governor. i w , ' v wmimmmmimmmemw I Court Returns Home From Up-State Conferences Budget for Care of Sick Working Toward Deficit 67 A una Bell Smith, a resident of Med ford for the past 28 years, passed away at her home. 501 Beatty street, early Thursday morning at the age of 67 years, after suffering an Illness of the past year.

Spring in the orchards! the humming of fcees; Pull, bursting buds crying release; Sweet, pungent odor of branches of white. Filling the country with radiant de light. Spring In the orchards! new life Is there; Green gra on ground that wss bare. A promise of fruit in rich harvest to be: White, snow-like blcweoms for all who will see. Spring In the orchards! our hope la renewed. And happiness smiles on all who have viewed. Old worries go like drops of bright rain; God made this springtime to give Joy again. f Grants Pass Pair to Wed RENO. Nev., April 18.
