Fruit Men Move To Cut Smoke
! T"
The Fruit Growers League of Jackson County and
the Kogue River Valley Traffic association, which
largely represent the fruit industry in this area, de
serve a word of commendation. A joint committee
named from' the two groups has recommended that
return stack heaters be used in the annual spring bat
tle with frost in order to keep the objectionable smoke
to a minimum.
IN A LETTER sent to all growers the committee
urged the replacement of existing smoke-producing
pots with the return stack type, or the conversion
of their open pots to the smokeless type.
The committee stated that it realized that imme
diate supplanting of old pots with the new type may
be too costly an undertaking for some orchard owners
because of the loss of crops in last year's severe frost.
It recommended, however,
to buy at least some of the
only the latter be used during periods when it is not
necessary to light all their,
Adoption of this program by the growers, it is
pointed out, will indicate their desire to cooperate
in reducing the smoke nuisance. .

pose, if a burner can be perfected, would prove a
great boon not only to the orchard men who would
no longer be forced to use the expensive oil, but to
lumber concerns which are now shoving most of their
off -fall into incinerators, a completely profitless dis
posal method and one which itself helps to contribute
to the smoke nuisance. . .
Another series of experiments which may produce
benefits is planned for this year by O.S.C. and the

Hope of Success in
Hammarskjold Talks
Tops News for Week
By CHARLES M. McCANN
United Press Foreign Analyst
The week's good and bad news
on the international balance
sheet:
THE GOOD
1. United Nations Secretary
general Dag Hammarskjold, on
his mission to Peiping, failed
to .gain the outright release of
11 American airmen jailed as
spies. But there was hope that
his talks with Chinese Red Pre
mier Chou En-lai might lead to
diplomatic negotiations which
would result in the release of the
fliers provided that the Com
munists did not. set too high a
price. Hammarskjoldhimself , was
not empoweredto negotiate with
the Reds, but simply to seek the
release of the fliers and all other
U. N. military personnel still
held in violation of the Korean
armistice. Soviet Russia, after
freeing two Americans long held
as slave laborers, announced it
would release a third. It is be
lieved Russia may be giving the
Chinese Reds a hint that it would
be smart to free the airmen.
2. Turkey and Iraq agreed to
conclude a mutual defense
treaty, which will be open to
other Middle Eastern countries.
The pact is the result of a visit
to Iraq by Turkish Premier
Adnan Menderes, who is trying
to bring the entire Middle East
into the network of Western
anti-Communist alliances. Men
deres will now try to bring Syria
and Lebanon "into the Turkish
Iraki pact.
3. A feud in the Italian Com
munist party broke into the
open. The feud is the result of a
steady decline in the strength
and prestige of the Italian party,
which is the largest this side of
Is That So?
Who am I?
When beauty, grace and
strength were dished out, I was
among the first in line and then
got a second helping. No other
creature seeks the sun more
zealously nor more success
fully, some of us live in round
the-clock sunshine for eight
months every, year.
I am equally at home with the
penguins of the Antarctic, the
puffins of the Arctic and the in
habitants of even the remotest
island. You cannot go near any
large body of water without
meeting a close relative.
I am pearl-gray above, silver
white below, and I wear a black
bonnet. My blood-red sharp bill,
my deeply-forked tail, my long
narrow wings, all come to such
tapering points that mortal man
cannot tell exactly where I end
against the sky but make no
mistake, I eat hearty.
By the uncounted millions, we
draw skeins of flight across the
sky from our wintering quarters

THE BAD
1. A revolt exploded in Cosia
Rica, one of the politically tur
bulent little Central American
republic. The Costa Rican gov

entered its territory from Nica
ragua, with which it has long
been on bad terms. Realizing the
seriousness of the situation, the
Organization of American States,
which includes aU of the Latin
American re p u b 1 i c s, acted
promptly to try to stop the fight
ing. A five-nation commission
was sent to Costa Rica to investi
gate, and the United States
agreed to lend planes to aid the
commission in observing the sit
uation on the spot.
2. Premier Pierre Mendes
France suffered a severe blow to
his prestige when the French
National Assembly defeated his
candidate for fhe important post
of Assembly president. It was
the first move by the premier's
enemies, who have made no
secret of their determination to
overthrow him now that the is

is out of the way. ' j
3. Chinese Communist planes
made their biggest attack in five
years on the Tachen Islands, in
which the Nationalists hold out
posts off the Red-held mainland.
The Nationalists retorted with
heavy attacks on Communist
islands in the same group. Na
tionalist authorities expressed be
lief that the Communists may
be preparing for an attempt to
take their Tachen outoosts, and
possibly to involve the United
States 7th Fleet in the fighting.

Well-Chosen Clothes
Mask Figure Faults
Every teenage girl should
learn how to improve on what
nature gave her in the way of
looks. It can always be done.
(Q) "I am 14 years old and a
freshman in high school. I
have a very small waist but
very large hips. Every time
I go on a diet I lose every
place but on the hips. Now it
has gotten so that I can't buy
a straight skirt because my
waist is so small and my hips
so large. I am only five feet
tall, so you can picture how
I look. Please help me. I am
so depressed seeing all the
girls with beautiful figures."
(A) I suspect that many of the
girls you admire have no better
figures than vou have. They,
" v. i howpvpr have
learned the
trick of select
ing clothes
that makes
their figures
look beautiful.
Fortunately
for girls, there
are many dif
ferent styles
Dr. Huxloek from which to
choose. For example, you do not
have to wear a straight skirt.
Relatively few girls, in fact can
wear sft-aight skirts without
their hips' bulging out behind.
Why not wear a circular skirt
that covers up te size of your
hips and makes your waist ap
pear even smaller than it is?
Many girls would be only too
happy to have a waist as small
as yours. Show it off. a circular
skirt, or one "with some fullness
around the bottom, will make
you look petite and fragile, not
all bulges as a straight skirt will.
Most important of all, don't
despair about your size or your
figure. At your age you have
plenty of time to grow, and as
you grow your figure will
change. Until you know what
your permanent figure will be,
learn to dress according to
what is becommg at the mo
ment. That is what most girls do,
and by doing so they fool others
as they have fooled you about
their "beautiful" figures.

"sion headed by retired Gen

recommendations for a $101,000,

President Eisenhower.
Among other things, the com
mission proposes the setting up
ot a new federal agency that
would issue bonds to raise
money.
JUST A thought:
BONDS MUST BE PAID.
They have to be paid with
taxes. 1
OREGON'S Governor Patterson
sends to the Oregon legis
lature a budget amounting to
$219,614,179. The budgetif ac
cepted as is by the legislature
(with taxes remaining as is),
would result in a DEFICIT of
$63,870,077. The governor
recommends these measures for
meeting the deficit:
1. A state property tax to
raise $30,000,000. .
2. Remove the federal income
tax exemption in figuring state
income taxes. This would raise
another $30,000,000.
3. Submit a bond issue to the
people to carry out most of the
building program for colleges
and state institutions. (Let's not
forget that these bonds, too,
would have to be paid with
taxes.) . -
I
NCIDENTAL information:
This proposed Oreeon budget
is TEN TIMES as much as the
Oregon budget for 1941, when
World War II was getting start
ed. I can't help wondering if we
aren't going to have to ADD
TAXES to the hazards of mod
ern life.
WHY HAVE taxes risen so
" rapidly?
There are two answers:
L WAR.
2. The things that government
"gives" us.
TlHERE ISN'T much we can do
about war, because the wars
we are paying for now have all
ready been fought. We have to
irAx tor them.
As to the things that govern
ment "gives" us, we might well
do a little careful thinking.
iwerytning the government gives
us IT FIRST TAKES OUT OF
OUR POCKETS. Before govern
ment can give somebody a dollar
it must first take a dollar out of
somebody's pocket.
WE HAVE the comfortable idea
that the dollar is tak-en rmt

That is a delusion. Tavo hava

BaKson . PHone Industry
By ROGER W. BABSON
Babson Park, Mass. (Special
to Mail Tribune) Most readers
of my column look at times for
srmfthirir m which to invest. It
never occurs to
them that there
may be good lo
cal investments
under their
own noses.
They want to
invest in some
big eomp any
and send their
money to Wall
L8eser W. Bab, Street
With the exception of your lo
cal bank and certain chain stores
the telephone company which
operates in your territory is
probably your best investment,
considering safety, income, and
possibility for growth. The pur
pose of this column today is to
praise the entire telephone in
dustry, which is one of the fast
est growing of all industries.
If you live in Bell territory,
then purchase stock of your lo
cal Bell company or of the big
American . Telephone and Tele
graph company. This latter sup
plies the entire nation Bell and
Independents with "long-distance"
service. If you do not live
in Bell territory, then consider
the stock of your independent
telephone system, provided it is
one of the 373 which report an
nually to the ' U.S. Independent
Telephone association at Mun-
sey building, -Washington, D.C.
Most Independents
Locally Owned
With the exception of the big
General Telephone company,
which is the largest "independ
ent," most Of the 373 independ
ents are lbcally owned 165
have annual gross earnings of
over $250,000; while 101 of
these have gross of less than
$100,000; but nearly all of them
show constant growth. More
over, each has a monopoly which
very few businesses have. Their
total exchanges number 4,684,
with over 9,000,000 telephones,
and 100,000 employees.
Let me add that there are 4,
850 other little telephone com'
panies in addition to the 373
which I recommend above, plus
60,000 mutually-owned farmers'
lines. Altogether the independ'
ents have over $1,500,000,000
invested, with total annual gross
of about $500,000,000, or 10 per
cent of what the Bell System
has. But of every six telephones
being used in the U.S., one tele
phone is an "independent. This
insures . complete cooperation
from the Bell System with the
use of all its connecting lines
and facilities. Yes, the independ
ents have "one in every six
telephones" covering two-thirds
the area of the U.S. '
Future Depends on
Encouraging Independents
I am especially interested in
all "independents," believing
that the future of America de
pends upon encouraging the in
dependents in every line of busi
ness, loo many Dig companies
will lead us to socialism. Invest
ors are "cutting their own
throats" by buying only the
"blue chip" stocks, or the 30
Dow - Jones Industrials. : We
should give more encourage
ment to smaller companies
first, for the good of the nation,
and secondly, because most new
improvements come through
the smaller . companies.
The first automatic telephone
system was installed by a La
Porte. Ind.. independent." The
first dial system was introduced
bv an "independent." The first
hand-set telephone and selective
ringing was introduced by the
independents." Bigness encour
ages smugness and bureaucracy.
Had it not been for the fighting
"independents" in every line of
business, we would not have
the many conveniences which
we have today. Yes, and prices
for everything would be higher
and wages lower. ,

Blames It All On Drink
To the Editor: In reference to
the many drivers being picked
up for being under the influence
of intoxicating liquor, and hop
ing this will be read by some
one in a position to help do
somethng about curbing it in a
our city.
After all is said and done,
where does the blame really lie,
with drivers themselves or on
society as a whole which allows
the liquor traffic to flourish at
the rate of several million dol
lars annually.
I am inclined to believe the
real blame should be placed on
Our government. Is the revenue
we receive from sale of liquor
and intoxicating beverages
worth the price we are paying
in broken laws, broken homes
and broken lives to say nothing
of all the other evils it causes.
Where is it going to end? . . .
As I see it, it is going from
bad to worse and no one seems
to mind. .
If half the money used for '
liquor advertising etc. was spent
educating . our children and :
adults against the evils cf
drinking perhaps this would be '
a changed world.
Millions are spent every year -enforcing
the laws, keeping up ;
institutions where a good many.;
of those so-called lawbreakers
have to be confined because
drink has destroyed their abil
ity to obey the laws of the land.
I have reason to believe that
some of our people elected to of
fice also like their liquor and
therefore are not inclined, to (do"
anything to curb it.
I see by the paper our liquor
commission is granting more li
censes to sell liquor over the
bar. Is this going to . help our
people to do what is right when
they can go into any bar or road
side tavern or even a grocery
store to dfink or buy it to take
along, jump into their cars and
drive and then get arrested for
drunk driving. What justice ia
there in this?
Let's hear from other reader
who are interested. !
