S. senator who still has four years of his pres ent term to serve; Robert Root, Republican state representative who was not a candidate for re election, and W. P. Tucker, long- j time county official now serv ing as county constable.

Discuss Mutual Problems ' "People can -find out what's going on," according to Mana ger Don McNeil. From time to time speakers will be brought in to discuss specific phases of com munity development, he added, but most of the time the meetings will be simply an informal dis cussion of problems which affect everyone in Jackson county. It is thought that regular at tendance at the meetings will make for greater , unity in . the chamber, and a better-informed group, according to Vic Milnes, chairman of the membership committee who started the pro ject.

Roseburg (U.R) A Depart- j ment of Agriculture official Sat- j uraay xoia aeiegates to xne oatn annual convention of the Oregon Wool Growers Association that the self-help feature of the na tional wool act provides the means of improving the market and lessens the need for federal price supports. " ' Frank W. Immasche, deputy director of the USDA's commodi ty stabilization service, said agreements may be entered into with the secretary of agriculture for the purpose of developing and conducting advertising and sales promotion programs.

Johnson told the convention the associa tion now has $8062 in the treas ury. ' The convention closed Satur day with a discussion of lamb promotion and Oregon pasture development. WHAT'S IN A NAME? : Beetown, Wis. (U.R) Names of many Wisconsin towns such as Beaver, Dam, Two Riv ers and Green Bay, are of fair ly obvious origin, but not so with Beetowri. This little town in the extreme southwestern corner of the state, apparently got its name because the land was honeycombed with lead mine diggings.
