Grangers to Remain
Neutral on Federal
Apportionment Plan
Pendleton OI.PJ The Oregon
State Grange Friday avoided a
split between eastern and west
ern Oregon delegates to the an
nual convention here and voted
to remain neutral in the contro
versy over proposed "federal"
apportionment of the state Legis
lature. A proposal to reapportion the
state Senate on the federal plan,
with each county allotted the
same number of seats, may ap
pear as an initiative measure on
the November ballot. The
Grange last year had supported
the plan to bolster rural eastern
Oregon's Senate delegation
against the growing weight of
Rynning Receives Two
Party Nominations
County Surveyor Paul Ryn
ning received the Democratic as
well as the Republican nomina
tion for his office in the May
primary election, the canvass of
votes showed last week.
Rynning, a republican, was
running unopposed for the nom
ination. There was no Demo
cratic candidate , but Rynning
received 88 write-in votes on
the Democratic ballot, more
than any other individual, giving
him the other party's nomina
tion as well as his own. As a re
sult, he will have no opposition
on the ballot in the fall.
The surveyor, who has held
the office for many years, also
serves as county engineer, an
appointive post.

Thursday's Mail Tribune story

election official canvass showed
Incorrect totals in the results of
the Ashland justice of the peace
election.
Mrs. Nelle Burns received a
total of 3.915 votes: L. Pears
Wilmeth received 3.850, and
Mrs. Ida George received 890. A
run-off election in the fall will
be necessary between Mrs.
Burns,, the incumbent, and Wil
meth, whose total was only 65
less than Mrs. Burns'. A run-off
is necessary when no candidate
receives an outright majority.

Debate Split
Friday's debate was split gen
erally along geographical lines
before a resolution urging "no
stand" was approved by a vote
of 141 to 124.
The state s largest farm organ
ization also turned its attention
to Portland's crime scene, vot
ing disapproval of action of
Judge Dobson's action a threat
"to the people's hard-won right
of trial by jury."
Demand Repeal
Grangers also demanded re
peal of all federal legislation
that would terminate federal
control over Indians on the
Klamath reservation. Support
ers of the resolution claimed the
move would enable large lumber
companies to grab tribal timber
assets.
The convention repeated the
Grange's traditional support of
a high federal dam in Hells Can
yon and called for prosectuion
of Idaho Power Co. and Portland
General Electric Co. for build
ing dam; without state permits.
Federal purchase of surplus
beef was called for until a "calf
slaughter" incentive payment
program could be worked out.

100 Entries
For Rooster
Contest Set
Rogue River About 100 en
tries have been received by the
Rogue River Boosters club for
the national rooster crowing con
test Saturday, June 16, in Rogue
River.
Each rooster must be register
ed an hour before the contest
starts on the day of the crow.
All roosters must be restrained
in some manner, according to
the Rogue River Boosters club.
No entry fee will be collected.
The rooster crow can be en
tered by mailing or bringing in
person an entry blank with the
name of the rooster and person
entering the rooster. Prize mon
ey will be $500 and a trophy will
be presented to the crowingest
rooster.
Prizec Awarded
Prizes are awarded for the
roosters crowing the most times
during a specified 30 minute
period during the day of the
contest. Cash prizes are award
ed for the most original coop
or best prepared cage housing a
rooster.
The crows are counted by
judges who are selected before
the contest to watch each rooster
or pair of roosters a,nd to record
their craws. According to the
Boosters when one rooster crows
loudly, others follow him. All
rooster crows are counted at the
same time by the judges.
Rogue River Boosters said the
roosters are not made to crow
but crow of their own volition.
The Boosters recommend to en
tries that it is best to cage the
rooster several days before the
contest and move him about in
strange surroundings, since a
rooster crows best in his home
surroundings. It is also best to
keep the cage covered, the Boost
ers say, and take off the wraps
just before the contest. The
rooster will be fooled into think
ing it's morning, they say.
Parade Scheduled
The Jackson County Sheriff's
posse and the Ladies Mounted
troop will be in the parade held
before the crowing contest Sat
urday. Two hundred horses
will be in the parade, Boosters
indicated.
There will also be a bicycle
parade and safety contest for the
children. Each bicycle will be
equipped with scotch lite tape
and other safety features will
be expiained to all bicycle par
ticipants. A new bicycle will
be awarded to one of the partici
pants. Bicycle accessories will
be presented to the other en
tries. The four recruiting services,
Navy, Army, Air Corps and the
Marines, will serve as color
guard to lead the parade.
The Cavemen of Grants Pass
will attend the crow, Tony Bal
dini, secretary, has announced.
Silver Dollars
Silver dollars are being .ob
tained to award to the winners
of the different crowing events.
There will be two cage prizes.
One $20 prize for the most in
teresting or outstanding cage,
and $10 for a cage made by
some child 12 years and
younger.
