World Security Proposals Explained A brief, concise explanation of the Dumbarton Oaks plan which will be discussed at the coming San Francisco confer ence is contained in O. S. C. Extension Circular 457, "United Nations Proposals for World Se curity," now available at the Jackson county extension office. The circular explains In un derstandable language the ma jor points that will be consid ered by the United Nations. It is Intended to stimulate study of the plan and to encourage for mulation of public opinion about the proposals. It reviews the major points for and against the plan. Written by Dr. U. G. Dubach, head of the political science de partment at Oregon State col lege, the leaflet has been issued by the Extension service as a contribution to better under standing on the part of rural people of the plans under con sideration for world peace. "While the main objective of this proposed world organiza tion Is to outlaw war, inevitably there will be many other re sults, economic and social," the circular's Introduction points out. "These include effect on national employment, markets for farm production and world trade. This is probably the greatest question ever brought before the American people for decision. Because of the social and economic implications, farm and rural people should have a thorough understanding of the issues involved." The circular will be distrib uted to leaders of farm and rural groups in Jackson county with a suggestion that it pro vide some of the subject matter for discussion of this important question. At the same time, copies are available free of charge to anyone who wants one. R. O. FOWLER, County Agent. 4H Pig reeding Contest Announced Cash prizes totaling $800 have been appropriated by the Pacific International Livestock Exposition for a Pig Feeding Contest for Pig Club members of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, L.
