o o 0 In flie Day's News y PRANK JENKINS Uore on the farm problem: The Oregon Wheat Growers League is sending its executive tecretary, Richard Baum of Pen eUetta, to Japan to set up a Wheat promotion and consumer ducation program to obtain more customers lor Oregon's Wheat. UpHE program will include four main projects: 1. Purchase of demonstration ' truck, equipped with kitchens nd3 loud speakers, for use by Japanese home economists in demonstrating wheat foods in balanced meals. 2. Preparation and distribu tion of educational materials on nutrition, emphasizing the value of wheat foods. 3. Displays and demonstrations mowing the value of wheat foods in Japanese diets. 4. An advertising campaign stressing the value of wheat foods. The primary purpose of the program is to teach the Japanese to EAT MORE WHEAT. It will be financed in part by the wheat growers themselves, through a wheat tax of a half cent per bu shel, and in part by the federal department of agriculture out of funds obtained by sales of surplus wheat. . fPHAT IS to say: t4- The Oregon wheat growers, who are dirt farmers, WANT instead of being stashed away year "after year in government warehouses to pile up storage e charges and hang like a dark thundercloud over the markets of the future. HOW ABOUT the Japanese? They have something to gain out of it, too. RICE IS the principal food of the Japanese. Most of them eat several bowls of it at each meal, supplemented scantily by fresh and salted fish and vege tables. They eat very little meat, because they can't afford it. The Japanese (nearly 80, 000,000 - of ethem) can't grow enough rice on their relatively small and quite mountainous islands to feed themselves. In - th pre-war past, they obtained -the remainder of their supply by importing from various Asian mainland countries. But these countries are now dominated by tha Communists and Japan and the Communist countries aren't yet on trading terms. So the Jap anese have to supplement rice With some other grain. Wheat is their next best bet. Hence this effort on the part of Oregon wheat growers to teach them to eat wheat. It. sounds like an enterprise that will result in mutual benefit. If it works, it will get MORE WHEAT CONSUMED. Wednesday, October 12, 1S55 ' MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVE Shah Of Iran Deals Blow Jo Russia With Move Favoring West By CHARLES M. McCANN United Press Correspondent Iran's handsome, democratic young Shah has given the Krem lin quite a blow. Just when Russia has em barked on a new campaign of penetration in the Middle East, Moham med Reza Pah levi has cast his country's fortune with the Western C haries McLuu nma. It took courage for the Shah to abandon Iran's long-standing neutrality. In doing so, he has defied Russia, Iran's neighbor on the north, and made it. plain that he puts no faith in Russian pro mises.

SO LADIES If you've been yearning for a pink mink coat, with a special little prayer that you might get one before the other gals do, you may as well give up now. Science has spoken and in these ultra-modern days science has the last word on everything. FR WOMEN only: . Women who pine for a PINK mink coat might just as well quit pining. On the wor,d of an expert, there never will be a pink mink or a red, green or purple one;' Dr. Richard Shackleford of the University of Wisconsin has told the Upper Michigan Mink Breeders association that all basic colors of mink have been achieved. He adds that efforts will now be concentrated ,on de veloping tones of the basic mink CJPEAKING OF purple minks (which, Dr. Shackleford says, never can be) reminds one of Gelett Burgess, a writer of jin gles, who authored this little quatrain back in 1895: I never saw a purple cow, I never hope to see one; But I can tell you, anyhow, I'd rather SEE than BE one. It was published in the Lark, and caught on in a big way. It was copied all over the world. Burgess got a lot of ribbing out of - it especially from people who associate purple cows (along with purple elephants) with too much indulgence in alcohol. Five years later he wrote another quatrain and, being a citizen of the world, he entitled it Cinq Ans Apres, which is French for Five Years Afterward: Ah, yes, I wrote the Purple Cow , I'm sorry noy I wrote it! . But I can tell you, anyhow, I'll kill you if you quote it. 0 to head Medford General Agency of old established Pacific Coast life insurance company.

Write, giving qualifications, to "Medford General Agency," care of this paper. Correspondence confidential. He has strengthened greatly the vast interlocking system of Allied defense treaties against Communist aggression. Iran was a missing link. The decision was the Shah's alone, for he now runs Iran. He has the complete loyalty of the army, he has his most trusted friend as premier in Hussien Ala, and he has the complete support of his Parlia ment. It was only two years ago that old Mohammed Mossadegh, who had made himself dictator as premier, overthrew tne anan and sent him into exile. Shah Returned It didn't stick. The Shah was brought back in triumph. Mossa degh is now weeping in his cell in a Tehran prison. In the two years since 1953, the Shah has succeeded in mak ing himself the undisputed head man. He prepared the way for Ir an's adherence to the West by settling the bitter dispute, with the Anglo-Iranian Oil company after Mossadegh nationalized it. Now he has taken what for his country is a historic step. The news that has come from Tehran was foreshadowed late in September when President Celal Bayar of Turkey paid a state visit to Mohammed and Ala. . Ala announced in Parliament Sept. 20 that "we must take steps for closer cooperation with our friends." He ridiculed the idea that Iran could remain neu tral. - x "Only those who aim to de vour us can want us to be un prepared and weak," he said. He meant Russia. The Shah followed this up, in almost the same words, in a speech to the Senate last Satur day. Shows Courage The Shah, who will be 36 years old on Oct. 26, has. shown his courage. He is quiet, unas suming and friendly. He is try ing to improve his country's liv ing standard, and has, set an ex ample by starting to break up his own vast estates and give them to peasants. He became Shah in 1941, at 21, when his father abdicated. He was driving through Teh ran on Feb. 4, 1949, when an assasin fired 'six shots at him at close range. Every bullet but one passed through his helmet or his uniform. The remaining one went through his upper lip. He remained outwardly calm as if the bullets had been blanks. With a loyal country, happy with a strikingly beautiful wife, the Shah is a lucky man. The West is lucky to have him as an lally.
