OREGON DINNERS With EASTERN Flavor PLEASANT LOUNGE DARDAHELLE U.S. 99 NORTH AT THE OVERPASS GOLD HILL Bill to Close Banks On Saturdays Draws Spirited Interest By WILLIAM WARREN United Press Correspondent Salem (U.R) A measure de signed to bring about Saturday closing of Oregon banks drew considerable and spirited inter est at a hearing here Friday afternoon, by the Senate Com mittee on Financial Affairs. Spokesmen for the U.S. Na tional Bank of Portland and in dependent banks favored Satur day closing with a gusto that brought outbreaks of applause from the listeners, many of them bank employes. Spokesmen for the First Na tional Bank of Portland, the Farm Bureau Federation, the State Grange and small busi nessmen opposed the Saturday closing. John McNerney of the U.S. Na tional Bank, chairman of the committee of bank employes favoring Saturday closing, said Oregon law already tells a bank to whom it may loan money, and at what interest rate, and it would be no more discrimina tory for Oregon law to designate Saturday a holiday as far as banks are concerned. E. C. Sammons, president of U. S. National, said if Saturday closing is effected, branches of his bank would remain open Friday until 8 p.m. to accom modate weekend customers. Also urging the Saturday clos ing was Roger J. Bounds, presi dent of the Inland Empire Bank of Umatila, representing Oregon independent bankers. Oppose Closing C. B. Stevenson, president of the First National Bank of Port land, said banking must be gear ed to accommodate retail busi nesses on the days they are open, wage earners and farmers. Tom Harper, Junction City Is That So? Although everything about the moon is natural and predictable, subject to law and capable of explanation, there is no end to the folly of humans with regard to the myths, traditions, legends and superstitions pertaining to this satellite of ours. There is a widespread belief that the moon affects our weather. If the horns are up; if they are down both have their meanings. But nothing could be more wrong. This should be ob vious to the most casual, since the moon is visible over one-half of the earth's surface at the same time and all countries do not have the same weather. The moon is also credited with influencing the growth of plants. Wood cut during the wax of the moon, say, is supposed to be bet ter than when cut during the wane. Also trees pruned in the old moon grow less actively than when pruned during the- new moon. And to carry it a step farther, sap in plants rises best at new moon hence root plants such as potatoes, carrots and beets should be sown or set out between the first quarter and full; while plants sown for their leaves such as cabbage and let tuce should be sown or set out during the wane. According to our rich moon folklore, animals too are affected by the moon: to have little girls' hair grow long and thick, mothers were cautioned to cut it only during the new moon. As well, the moon affects the func tions of women and the activities of nocturnal animals such as cats and panthers. Could Gat 'Looney' And even more far-reaching affects are caused by the moon so the sayings go. Our very word Rod & Reel CAFE Camp White NOW OPEN! Under New Mangementl COMPLETELY REMODELED! featuring: Good Food Good Service INSPECT OUR KITCHEN! Open from 6 A.M. to 7 P.M. Frances Clave Ora Mevig farmer and spokesman for the Oregon Farm Bureau Federa tion, said a majority of the state's 30 farm bureaus had ex pressed opposition to "this type of government regulation." Elmer McClure, master of the Oregon State Grange, said his group also was opposed to bank closing on Saturday, which is "the farmer's day in town." Minor Brady, who operates a grocery store at The Dalles, said Saturday closing would work a hardship on small businesmen because the merchants would have to have considerable more cash over the long weekend to cash paychecks for customers. He said it would be a lure to holdup men, and also would give the bogus check artist a "two-day start for parts un known." Rep. Emil Stunz of Nyssa said the principle of telling the banks to close Saturday would be as wrong as telling the farmer "he can't milk his cows on Sunday." Further Study Slated Sen. Phil Brady of Portland, who introduced Senate bill 268, said Wisconsin, like Oregon, is largely an agricultural state, and it "has gotten along remark ably well with Saturday closing of banks." The committee indicated it would further study the bill be fore acting on it. Other action Friday: Gillnets: The House Fish and Game Committee recommended passage of a bill prohibiting gillnetting of salmon in certain coastal areas. Fairview: Gov. Robert D. Holmes signed a bill carrying an appropriation of $350,000 for completing construction work at Fairview Home. Compensation: Sen. Phil By EUGENE BURNS Ranger-Naturilitf lunacy and "looney" comes from the widely accepted supersiti tion that you get that way from ' sleeping beneath lunar (moon) light. Even today many mothers will not permit their children to sleep with the full moon shining on them. Not only because of courting "lunacy" but also it might bring on blindness, or, in the least, evil dreams. Slowly but surely but how slowly and uncertainly science is rooting out these legends, myths, supersititions and tradi tions relics of man's long childhood. But even so, is that wholly good? I'm for courting just a little folklore to make life more interesting.
