o 4 o Health Mazairate to Oregooii Residents from ayuiccuduy Testimony Heard at Hearing on Planned Inspection Program o e By BILL FORCE ; United Press Correspondent - G" Salem (U.R) Health haz ards to Oregonians who may inadvertently eat so-called "measly meat" were described in graphic terms here Friday by: members of the State De partment of Agriculture urging z. a compulsory meat inspection law forthe state, o Dr. R. R. Younce, state veter inarian, and E. L. Wright, state livestock ; inspector, told the House Livestock committee on numerous instances of small slaughterhouses accepting after hours carcasses of meat an imals that had died of unknown causes. The meat was then sold the unsuspecting public. Meat Condemned c They recalled the case of burned ; meat condemned in Washington but bootlegged on the Oregon market; of an at tempt to sell meat from day-old calves that had died in ship- to the slaughterhouse. They said a compulsory meat inspection law would have prevented' such instances. Dr. Younce said the danger to humans eating measly meat arose from toxins in the meat of cancerous cattle and from tapeworm in the flesh of cattle that had pastured on land irri gated with sewage effluent. Thorough cooking, he conceded, destroyed tapeworm in meat, but he said it is the habit of many Americans to ' eat .rare beef. ' ' ' ' - Department- witnesses testi fied that the butchering of ' ani mals that have died of unknown causes before being brought to the slaughterhouse is a relative ly common practice in some es tablishments not under some farm of meat inspection feder al, city, or voluntary state in- pection. -'"' Witnesses Questioned The committee, headed by Rep. t Robert Steward (D-Keat-ing), questioned witnesses close ly absut the costs of. the pro posed plan. Dr.. R. C. Sexauer, another department veterinari an, said.' the plan would require approximately. 57 lay: inspectors, ; and 18 'state-employed veterin arians, to inspect 132 slaughter houses in widely separated parts of the state. y : The inspection plan proposed In house bill 99 would require an expenditure of some $399,113 for salaries, about $52,000 for administration, or a total hud get of $4f 7,251 for .the next biennium. ; The committee had ,the bill under advisement Saturday and probably will hear further argu ments for and against it before taking :. final action, Steward said.- ... ).

I Measure To Encourage State Junior College Plan To Be Proposed B7 WILLIAM WARREN United Press Correspondent Salem (U.R) A bill to en courage the establishment of junior colleges in Oregon, there by relieving the load on the state's four-year institutions of higher learning, will be intro duced in the Oregon House by No New Buildings On Mall Predicted In Next Four Years Salem (U.R) Gov. Paul L. Patterson doesn't look for any new state buildings to be erect ed in the capital mall in the next four years. He made the observation at a meeting of the State Board of Agriculture here Friday, at which needs of the agriculture were - explained to legislative leaders. After hearing architects' re ports on possible construction suitable for the department, in cluding a "natural resources" building on the mall, the agricul ture board submitted alternate proposals for immediate housing needs. 1 Would Add To Building One plan would add a third story to the new finance de partment building at 12th and Ferry streets and move the en tire agriculture department to that building. Cost was esti mated at $360,000, covering the new floor and finishing of ...the second floor which the depart ment would also use. . - The alternate plan would be to move part of the Agriculture Department to the second floor of the finance building, at a cost of $100,000. The rest of the de partment would remain in the old 12th street building it now occupies with the state printing plant ; George Lewis at ..

'' 7 Air Force Reservists Earn Promotions Four" Air Force reserve offi cers in the Medford area were recently promoted . from first lieutenant to captain in the 9091st Air Reserve group, ac cording to T. Sgt. W. S. Kistner, Liaison airman. They were Kenneth W. Har ris, Merle E. McGraw, Alwin y. Miller "and Worlow G. Purdin. Ten other promotions to the same rank were made within the group and two promotions from captain to major, he added. These were all in the Eugene and Klamath Falls areas. Two reserve majors, Maxwell P. Guiley, Medford, and Andrew A. Schmidt, Grants Pass, have returned from 15 days of active duty in Sacramento where they attended a National Resources conference. New assignments to the 9417th squadron at Medford include Capt. Charles H. Lewis and 1st Lt. Allen N. Smith. OSC To Participate In Study of Grains an, Wash. (U.R) Land grant colleges of three North west states Saturday announced the signing of an agreement on cooperation for the development and testing of better cereal grains. . Colleges involved are Wash ington State, Oregon State and the University of Idaho. The agreement provides for the exchange of promising new grains, testing of the grains in the areas where , they will .be used and the simultaneous' re lease of new varieties for farm Rep. Harvey De Armond .(R Bend). - - At present Oregon has only one junior college, at Bend, and so far it has been financed en tirely by Bend school district' No. 1. In contrast, California has some 50 junior colleges, to ease the strain on its four year in stitutions. Gives Valuable Instruction Central Oregon College at Bend furnishes two years of col lege education and, its advocates say, furnishes valuable instruc tion to students financially un able to attend a four-year col lege which is remote from home. About a fourth of the students there live . outside the Bend school district No. 1, although the district pays all the bills on the courses they take except for student fees. Under terms of De , Armond's bill, which has been signed by several other legislators, the de partments of higher education would pay $1000 to the college, plus $100 for each full-time stu dent with a limitation to the state's contribution of not more than half the operating costs after student fees are' credited against the budgets. The state would pay nothing toward con struction costs. ! . In the case of 'Central Oregon college, the state's contribution would amount to less than $10, 000 a year, and similar amounts might be expected in other ju nior colleges created in Oregon. Students Pay $165 As a "pilot program" of what other communities might expect of their junior colleges, students at Central Oregon college pay $165 a year for full-time study and proportionately less for those attending part-time. The balance of the operating cost in the case of the Bend institution is made up in the school dis trict's budget. De Armond said that junior colleges ease the strain on the four-year schools by giving in struction to first and second year students. He pointed out that many stu dents drop out of the four-year schools by the end of the se cond year. On the other, hand, junior ' college students who have "found themselves" in those two years of study and know in .which direction they want to go, . can go on to take their second two years at the four-year schools and get much more educational benefit as a result. ? A second function of the ju nior colleges, as the Bend Bul letin recently pointed out, is to take care of the student who needs some work beyond the high school level, but does not desire a four-year course in his field. This would include such classifications as mechanics, bus iness courses, and agricultural short courses. Professional Foresters To Study Legislation . Salem (U.R) The effect of Current legislative proposals on the practice of forestry in wes ern Oregon will be studied by 150 professional foresters here Monday night,. Elmer Matson, chairman of the Portland chap ter of the, Society of American Foresters said Saturday. ' Leading the discussion will be State Rep. Loran L. Stewart (R Cottage Grove), chairman of the House Taxation Committee and himself a professional forester. Sen. Paul E. Geddes (R-Rose-burg), chairman of the National Resources Committee, will de scribe pending legislation in the Senate that is of interest to for esters. . Measure To Outlaw Salmon Derby Gets Backing in Astoria Astoria (U.R) The Astoria Chamber ofNCommerce, one of the. traditional sponsors of the 16-year-old Astoria Salmon Der by, has voted to endorse a re cent legislative proposal to out law such derbies. A resolution supporting the ban was offered by W. F. Mc Gregor, local retailer of sports fishing tackle who has been called the "Father of the Astoria Salmon Derby." Vote 6 to 5 The board of directors of the chamber voted 6-5 in favor of indorsing the House. bill which has yet to come up for a vote. Four directors did not vote. The chamber's fisheries com mittee recommended support of the bill to the board of directors. Local opinion, reflected by the chamber decision, holds , thai the derby, which has become one of the Northwest's greatest attractions of its kind, was de pleting the area's salmon re source. Many local residents felt the derby was entered because of the prizes it offered, rather than because of the competition or thrill of the sport offered. $3,500 in Prizes Offered Last year some $3,500 in pri zes were offered during the derby. The Warrenton and Chinook derbies in Washington, which operate in about the same area, offered $2,500 and $1,500 in prizes during the same per iod. Some persons opposing the resolution argued that it would not be effective unless the state of Washington takes similar ac tion against the Warrenton and Chinook affairs. Sunday, February 13 1955 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUTE THREE Supreme Court To Receive Pelton Dam Case March 2 Two Bills Slated On New Hospital Salem (U.R) Two bills affect ing the new teaching hospital un der construction in Portland are ready for introduction in the Legislature next week, Sen.
