Thursday Midsummer Night's Dream. The Soviet Union is the world's leading wheat producer, but pro duces less than five per cent as much corn as the United States.

The load on this farmer's truck, and the load in this refrigerated trailer, are a very small part of the great volume and variety of Oregon farm products that are trucked daily to distant population centers. Two dominant factors have worked together to overcome the penalties imposed by distance to mar kets. One, of course, is the "Blue Ribbon" quality of Oregon-grown meats, fruits and vegetables. The other is the superior quality of truck transportation developed for those products. Trucks provide the swift, dependable refrigerated service from farm to market that is so vital to preserving peak flavor and freshness. For example, last year Consolidated Freightuays moved more than 18 million pounds of fresh, per ishable farm products from Oregon to California alone and much more than that to other markets. Consolidated Freightways is only one of the many reliable motor freight carriers that serve the Oregon farmer. The trucking industry is a good neighbor to the farmer and to all other segments of the state's economy... serving agriculture, industry and busi ness everywhere in Oregon... helping Oregon grow. O r! "" ''lllfff Good Neighbor in Your Common By LORAN HASSETT Connie was here! And Diane is on her way. Boy did she leave it wet. we Dulled out of Wash ington Sunday noon and watched swollen rivers and standing wa ter all' the way. As we were aD- proaching Washington we saw corn knocKea down all through southern Pennsylvania. Mary land, West Virginia, and Vir ginia. Washington had all the windows taped for fair. You could hardly see through them We got into Chicago three and a half hours late on a moder ately humid and hot day. We moved out of Chicago on the B and O and spent an hour at 50 or 60, all of which we thought was Chicago. Actually we had crossed the Indiana line and were in Gary a little less than half of that time. They had held the Washington train for us in Chicago so it was an hour and a half off schedule. We got into Washington five minutes ahead of schedule. Durine the nieht we rjassed bv mammoth steel mills which real ly lit the sky around. Later I found it was Pittsburgh. You could hardly tell a city was there. The country was the flat est I've ever seen and I still wonder what some of them would do in the southern Oregon mountains.' Washington has enoueh sishts to last for a month, much less a day, but it seems we saw them all. We had trips (including Al exandria, Va.), to Mount Vernon, Arlington National cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Changing of the Guard, the Capitol, White House, Christ church, the Washington monu ment, and were shown many others which weren't open on a week end. Church was attended Sundav morning and then we were off tor New York. In four hours we passed through Maryland. Vir ginia, Delaware, New Jersey and New York. Quite a number of states when you consider how far you would get in Oregon. New York is big-. It has 8,000, 000 people. And. for some un known reason, it does support the population. But of an the places I've ever seen I hope I never have to live there. Never have I felt as hemmed in and buffeted in my life. The first night there, after eating in the most crowded au tomat in town, a few of us took in the show at the Radio City Music hall. All I have to sav is if that place didn't have such good accoustics it sure would make a great hay barn! The next morning we were off around the city on a guided tour. We saw the new Ans?lo Catholic cathedral that is being erected there. They started this church in the 1890's and still don't know when it will be com pleted. Then there were trips through Central Park, Wall street, and- the UN. all Manhat tan, the Statue of Liberty, the tsowery, Chinatown, and the Em pire State building. The next day included a varht trip around Manhattan and Hay den Planetarium. Salesman Awarded Prizes in Contest Three salesmen of the Citv Appliance company were award ed wrist watches as the result of winning a recent contest spon sored by the Hotpoint company. The salesmen are Fred Graten, Cliff Hammill and George Beer. They received the awards for selling company anDliances. Making the presentations was Norman Hayes, northwest dis trict manager for the firm, who was here for the event. The watches were presented during a dinner Friday at the Rogue Valley Country club when the City Apriliance employees. their wives and husbands were guests. About 20 attended.
