IU.R1 Four H club youngs-ters in this nor thern Nebraska town are knee deep in the cattle feeding business, thanks to the Idea of a rancher, Harley Sullens. Sulleus was worried because there wasn't enough to occupy the after-school time of boys In the community. He was afraid their excess energy might be worked off "the wrong way." So he evolved a plan under which ranchers have given their top calves to the boys. They. In turn, signed notes at the market price of the animals, and for feed. Enter Othtr Events With Sullens' guidance, they held box socials and sponsored other events to raise enough money to repair an old livery stable. Every cent of the money was earned Sullens told the boys they would defeat the pur pose of the project if they asked for donations. Town members house their calves in the livery barn. Coun ty boys and girls keep their animals at home, but bring them in to the stable on special days to show off their handiwork. Each year, feeders from all parts of the middle west come to Cherry County to buy stork for their feed lots. Ranchers are en thusiastic about the 4-H project which they say provides an ideal aliow place for their calves. 7T MAIL TlUBTJNt The Natural The leeislative interim tion of a single state department of natural resources will undoubtedly face a tough gantlet of criticism, political sniping and outright opposition because of lis somewnar, iai -reacmng TTHE committee, which is headed by Representative Ben Day of Jackson county, advocates creation of one, over-all department for the "conservation, protection, development and renewal" of Oregon's natural resources, the resources upon which a con tinued high living standard and, in fact, ultimate sur vival of tne people may depend. . As set forth in the bill, the objective is compre hensive, long-range planning and cooperation on tne administrative levels, as a substitute for the several state atrencies now oneratina: independently under separate legislative acts within limited scope and only with respect to particular a OPECIFICALLY, the act would establish a depart ment of natural resources composed of the follow ing divisions: Forestry, sou servation, sanitation, fisheries, wildlife, geology and minerals, state lands, natural history and research. Into the forestry division would be merged the present state department forestry and board of forest conservation. The soil conservation present soil conservation committee. Into the water conservation division would go the state reclamation commission, state irrigation board, hydroelectric commission, and office of state engineer. Sanitation would include the state sanitary authoiity. The fisheries division mission. The wildlife division game commission. Geology and minerals division would include the state department of geology and mineral industries. State lands division would include the state land board, but not the board of commissioners and the lands within the purviews of section 5, article VIII of the constitution or the funds or proceeds derived from use or sale thereof. The division of natural history and research would be established and maintained at Oregon State college and would do all laboratory research for the other divisions as might be requested. This division would also establish and maintain collections of zoo logical, botanical, mineral and other specimens of scientific value or interest, also keeping data, records and files of its research, available to the other divisions. CTATE or governmental ditionally opposed to which might curtail their and this may be expected hazards for the interim committee s proposal. As provided in the bill, the state forester would become director of the forestry division, the state en gineer would be director of the water conservation division, the executive secretary of the soil conserva tion committee would be director of the soil conser vation division, the master fish warden would be come director of the fisheries division, the state game director would be director of the wildlife division, the sanitary engineer would be director of the sanitary division, the director of geology and mineral indus tries would be director of the geology and minerals divisions and the clerk of the state land board would be director of the state lands division. a a MINE members would constitute the natural re sources board, all to be appointed by the governor with advice and consent of the senate. Of these mem bers, two would serve one year; two, two years; two, three years; two, four years, and one five years. For the divisions of the natural resources board there would be set up advisory boards with nine mem bers for each, these also to be named by the governor with senate consent. Advisory board members would formulate policies of their respective divisions, as ap proved bv the natural resources board. "THE office of general director would be created, the appointment to be made by the board and at a salary to be fixed by the legislature. Under this of ficial the present department heads such as state for ester, state engineer, etc., would become division di rectors at salaries not less than presently enjoyed. "NE of the most important provisions of the bill would authorize the natural resources board to "correlate and coordinate the activities of the depart ment so as to avoid and eliminate unnecessary dupli cation of effort and overlapping of functions." The above would be a step in the right direction for, as in the federal government, state administrative agencies have been added from time to time until we now have far too many, with duplication of effort and conflict in power. A NOTHER provision of undoubted value would be the authority to deal with other states or the gov ernment in matters pertaining to natural resources of Oregon, subordinate, of course, to the authority of the governor. A LL in all, the interim committee's proposal repre sents a great deal of thought and effort and un doubtedly would make for efficiency and perhaps even some economy. As to the economy phase, how ever, one must lake a somewhat dim view, the record in such matters being what it is. E.C.F.

The development had a fleet of 21 buses constantly on the road traveling for a thou sand miles or more bringing In prospective purchasers. There were no charges for transpor tation. Hotel accommodations were free. Hollywood survived the collap.se of the Florida real estate boom In 1926 and Is now prosperous resort town. Relief In July. 1034. 80 ner cent of the Key West population was on relief. The federal government was appealed to. In resDonse. the Florida emergency relief ad ministration was formed. This group went to work to build up Key West and furnish employ ment for its residents. It also reopened many hotels and began explointing Key West as a win ter resort. At the moment Key West seems to be doing all right. It is apparently the favorite win ter resort of both the president of the United States and the mayor of New York. Longest War What was the longest war in history? It was that between the Seminole Indians and the United States. It was ended by a treaty of peace In 1934. However, the historian making mention of this interesting fact didn't say when the war started. However, don't worry about this. I will go down to tne public library to morrow and find out. Incidcntal ly.the Seminolea claim they treat their squaws belter than any other Indian trible In Northern America. The Seminole squaw is never lorced to do any hard la bor in the fields and her duties are comparable to those of the American housewife. Fabulous Abode The most fabulous place of abode built In the history of Florida, is that erected on Bis cayne bay, south of Miami, by a millionaire bachelor. This bache lor was James Dcering. His Bis cayne bay estate took seven years to miild and cost S15 mil lion! That was between 1013 and 1920. The same place would now cost about S40 million to build. I know some of our feminine clients will want to know how Mr. Deering happened to remain a bachelor. I don t know now. but am checking on It.

Bait Singer The nightingale is the poet's favorite bird and is generally be lieved to be the top bird vocalist. However, the mocking bird is a better singer than the nightin gale. In 1931 at Bok Tower, near Lake Wales. Fla., there was a singing contest held between im ported nightingales and mocking "But One Standard of Service" Conger - Morris FUNERAL DIRECTORS AMBULANCE SERVICE "Preferred by so many" West Main at 6th Phone 3-1051, Meatord Office of the County Coroner by Roland Co that tha Wild Wait li a lot wilder when we ware kidi!" i sttNMIM NMM rH I ( I II ( Ml M I M , , IHIIIIHIIIttflllMIMIIHIIIIM' birds. The mocking birds were declared the winners. Anything the nightingales could sing the mocking birds could sing and sing it better. Please Note In explanation of high prices for meat, vegetables and milk the Florida market owners say that most of their stuff has to be shipped in from other sections. They say most of the milk comes from Ohio and Indiana and that is why It Is 26 cents a quart. In cidentally, the beef from the Florida cattle country is said to have been Improved consider ably since Brahma bulls were Imported from India. The cattle sired by these Brahma bulls seem better able to withstand the Florida climate and also are less affected by the state's Insect pests. Asides Florida claims to produce 40 per cent of the celery consumed in the U.S.A. Speaking of celery do you recall a drink of the yes teryear called "Celery Tonic"? This was available at all bars and was a favorite of fellows who were "on the wagon." . . . It may be June In January in Florida in the daytime, but evi dently at night it is different. All the greyhound tracks, which operate at night, advertise "heat ed grandstand'." Enterprising Fellow Coral Gables, Florida, was founded by a very enterprising fellow named George Merrick. He was a man who firmly be lieved that it pays to advertise. In one 12 month period Merrick spent three million dollars ad vertising Coral Gables. This town also survived .the Florida real estate depression of 1926 and it Is currently a highly pros perous residential city. It is also the locale of the Tropical Park race track. This race course was originally a dog track. Ex-Medford Youth Has Record-Making Firm Bruce Y'Blood. a former Med ford boy, has written The Mail Tribune from Greeley. Colo., about a new business which he has established there. Y'Blood, who is 21, is the owa er and proprietor of Crater Rec ords, a recording firm. He ii also the recording artist for the firm, the letter said, and plans to release his first record in about a month. "I'm going to concentrate my records around Medford," he wrote, "and if they go over there. I'll try my luck somewhere else. Having lived in Medford most of my life, I consider it home and plan to move back there and use it as my base of operations."

In the Day's News By THANK JENKINS To "A Friend": I got vour letter this morning along with the $20 bill and the $10 bill enclosed with It. After reading it. I feel better about things in general. A world that has people like you In it just can't be going to hell In a hand basket, as the big-time news of ten seems to indicate. AS TO the little girl who Is working her way through college and couldn't quite wangle all of her spring term tuition fees. She got the $30 she needed. I suspect from your handwrit ing and the tone of your letter that you are a woman, so it will interest you to know that an other warm-hearted woman called up a few minutes after the paper was out and said she would consider it a privilege to provide the monev. She wanted to GIVE it, not loan it. I suggested to her (rightly or wrongly) that she make It at least an ADVANCE, to be re oaid some day either to her or to some other worthy girl who is working hard to get an educa tion and needs some help In a oinch. I'm old-fashioned. I have the feeling that you can spoil people by giving them too much. We appreciate most of the things we work for. and I think this girl will appreciate her edu cation more because she has worked for It and paid for it. The donor agreed, and we left it that way. , I THINK It will interest you to know that In this particular case several hundred dollars In proffered gifts have been regret fully declined and several hun dred dollars more In checks have been returned. There are many, many fine people, you see, in this southern Oregon country of ours. But I can't return your money. You have so carefully concealed your Identity that the postmark (Medford, Oregon) on the en velope is all I have to Identify you. So I shall have to fall back on this suggestion in your letter: "If she has already been sup nlicd, use the money I enclose for the next young persons you feel should have it. Tell the girl it is a gift, not a loan. Sometimes it is harder to take than to give. So she must be on the watch to help someone else if not in money, by means of a helping hand at the moment of need, or some other gift that comes in the nick of time. When you hear that she has done that for some one else, just put it in your col umn. I'll be watching, and I'll know that she's the right sort." SINCE I don't know who you are and have no way of find ing out. I'll accept your gift on that basis. It is a heavy respons ibility, but I shall do my best to see that it is carried out. And again I want to thank you for helping to restore my faith In human nature. In this strange Interlude in the world's history, when so many of us are afflicted with the "gimmes." when the Golden Rule is applied so sel dom, when the bulk of our think ing so often seems to be directed toward what WE CAN GET and not toward what WE CAN GIVE, It is of inestimable value to us to be reminded that taking them by and large human beings are a pretty good lot.

The former fighter who pound for pound was one of the best body punchers in boxing his tory, isn't pull ing his punches now. Except is a pulpit and Harnuo Nichols now his "ring" he steals his punch from the Scriptures. But he (till waves his arms. , Armstrong isn't exactly a preacher. He calls himself an evangelist. The 38-year-old Negro hasn't exactly mellowed with the years. He always has had a spark of religion In him and throughout and up and down career he has been cleaning living, a credit to his race and to the tight business and to humanity. You could see that Easter Sunday as he ap peared before an audience at Ullne arena where once he was a conquering gladiator out to commit mayhem. He committed same in reverence yesterday when he raised his voice and windmillcd his arms to preach on .the theme: "The Grave Couldn't Hold Him." His ser mon, in keeping with the day, was about the crucifixion. Strang batting It was a strange setting for Henry. . He willingly posed for the pic ture Jboys In the lobby of the fight? hockey and basketball palace. He raised his arm toward heaven in front of a big picture of Armstrong Henry Arm strong the fighter. The one on the wall was taken back in the days when the hammer-man was slim in the middle. He's on the plump side now, for a little man but still tough. He weighs about 156 and doubt less couldn't lick his way through more than half a dozen men his own weight. Been on God's Side Henry believes that he has been on God's side, or vice versa, since the very beginning. When he was born in 1912, his mother called him the "Champ," because he looked more like a comer than any of hit 14 brothers and sisters. When he was active In the fight game, his sister-in-law, Emma Lou Jackson, said- pray ers and made predictions before each of his bouts.

Emma Lou was right on that one. Barney went to the hospital. Henry came out of the fight with his whole hide and while he was at It won the world wel terweight title to add to hia featherweight and lightweight titles. Appeared with Choir Henry, who is about to coma out with a book of poetry, ap peared today on the same pro. gram with a ISO voice choir from Baltimore. The former fighter, who says he never again will lift a mitt against hit fellow man has something to say about the music of today, too. "This bc-bop stuff Is a bunch of huff. It is doing no good for our kids, What we would like to see is a trend In our race back toward the melodic and Inspiring Negro spirituals. That will be part of my preachings from now on. The hymns have a definite message which the modern gen eration is missing." Henry, wind-milling his arms from force of habit, said that his ambition now is to build a church in a quiet section of Lot Angeles. "There," lie said, "I can have my own parish and give God's word to the people every Sun day."
