Cattle Feeding Job
Keeping Boys Busy
In Nebraska Town
Wood Lake, Neb. 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.

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.

Among the new things I
learned today about Honda is
that the city of Hollywood in
that state was founded and de
veloped by a realtor named Jo
seph w, young, from California
Mr. Young and his associates
from the Golden state eave the
Florida Hollywood a real high-
powered California style booster
campaign. 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.

Mr. Deering happened to remain

The nightingale is the poet's
favorite bird and is generally be

However, the mocking bird is a
better singer than the nightin

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.

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

wrote, "and if they go over

else. Having lived in Medford
most of my life, I consider it

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.

Comment On
Br HARMAN
Uaitea) Praia
Washington, Apr. 10 (U.R)
Hammerin' Henry Armstrong
preaches the word of the Lord
wun tne same
fire he used to
belt the day
lights out of
his opponents
In the boxflght
ring.
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. Before he
fought Barney Ross she predict

"Ross," she told Henry, "will
wind up in the hospital and
never will fight again. You won t
get a scratch."
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." Trail Riders Planning
