Season and "flour" pot roast, brown in hot fat in heavy ket tle, season with salt and pepper and spread with one-half cup horseradish or add one-half cup sliced onion, three or four whole eppers and a bay leaf. Add just a little water, maybe a cup (more as needed). Let water come to a simmer. Do not boil if you want a tender, juicy roast. Turn roast a couple of times. Cover tightly. Plan three hours cooking time. Hope for left overs! Special Seasonings , About 45 minutes before pot roast is done one of the follow ing may be added: Vegetables.

Children like milk and they like to -drink it at school. Nationally, the Special School Milk Program is administered by the Agricultural Marketing Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Within the states, the program is administered by the educational agency of the state. It makes adequate supplies of fresh milk readily available at an especially attractive price in school cafeterias. When Jun ior wants "money for milk," he's getting good nutrition at low cost. October Markets Offer Good Buys in Pork October plentifuls are many. Spring pig crop provides an abundance of pork for autumn breakfasts of ham, bacon and sausage and for fresh pork din ners in great variety along with an occasional baked ham. Grass fed beef continues to offer good buys especially among the long, slow-cooking economy cuts with hamburger a bargain. Lamb is excellent quality, reasonable. Fryers deserve your special attention. Good time for stock ing the home freezer. Fish industry calls special at tention to good supplies of fine quality shrimp, oysters; plenty of cod, halibut, salmon, flounder, sole, rockfishes and local spe cialties, both fresh and frozen. Canned tuna at special prices for making sandwiches and salad. Rice Abundance. To go along with that good pork and poultry, there is a super abundance of rice. Try different kinds. There's regular white, brown, convert ed, precooked and there are rice cereals that are tremendously popular with the children. Reg ular and processed rice swells three to four times in size during cooking. One pound of raw rice is enough for seven servings. To preserve vitamins and minerals, cook rice without washing it. Hawaiians buy their rice 100 pounds at a time, we noted re cently. Ideal potato growing weather has brought a record crop of this all-American favorite.

The committee said that re ports from the Public Health Service and others indicated the vaccine was effective in the con trol of paralytic poliomyelitis.

FACTS about the freight car shortage This year Southern Pacific has hauled a xecoid -breaking number of cars of Oregon lumber to out-of-state markets. Obviously Southern Pacific provided a record breaking number of empty freight cars to do this. In the first eight months of this year we hauled more than 84,000 mpfy cars into Oregon from points as far distant as Texas. Right now, solid , trainloads of empty cars are being hauled all the way from the Southwest -to Oregon in our effort to aTJeyiate the shortage. ; . : , This car shortage is a matter of very serious concern to Southern Pa cific. We are just as unhappy about it as the Oregon lumber shippers or the shippers in the other states over the UJ3A. for this car shortage is nationwide. ( " ' ' , ". : . But we think there has been considerable rnisunderstanding about the situation. ' The facts are that Southern Pacific has an outstanding record amoDg American railroads in efficiency of performance, purchase of new cars and ' in other factors that operate against a shortage. We are proud of that . record. HERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT POINTS WE WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT: ! The car shortage which started the beginning of last June generally exists throughout the nation. Other railroads serving the Northwest are feeling the pinch even as the SP. - r r ... ' - - 2 The SP has done a great deal better than most roads in acquiring new can to meet unprecedented demands, having added 42 ,725 freight can in the last 10 years. These new cars, with 3,879 still to come, represent an investment of $267 million. In this period, SP gained 35.9 per cent m car ownership and 44 per cent in carrying capacity, as contrasted with a slight decrease for Class I rail- : roads as a whole. . 3 Of even greater significance is SFs ownership of box can trsed by Oregon lum- ber shippers. Ownership and carrying capacity of these can increased better than 40 per cent on SP during the 10-year period. 4 The SP has an outstanding record in "keeping them rolling.'' Its 1955 percent- age of unserviceable can has been only 1J), compared with a national average of 5.8 per cent. 5 SP gets 70.5 miles per day from eac j car, while the national average is 46.2 . ' miles. This has the effect of increasing the car supply. - 6 SFs tremendous $700 million capital expenditure program since 1946 shows : the railroad's continuing efforts to provide the very best service within its capa bilities. This expenditure is $170,000,000 more than our total net railway oper ating income for the 10-year period. An expanded fleet of diesel locomotives, , modernized switching yards and generally improved operating services and facilities are major facton m increasing freight car utilization and supply. 7 For the past 20 months, in addition to many thousands of other box and flat ' can, we have put an average of $1,142,500 worth of brand new box and flat can onto the Portland Division each month. Currently this schedule has been stepped up so that we are now moving 60 new box can, costing $459,000, from A our Sacramento shops for loading in Oregon EACH WEEK. We hope that the facts presented here will show you that we are doing our best to combat the car shortage by every means at our disposal W.G.PBOFUS Vice President, System Freight Traffic utttoerro pacific 61( r
