O 0 TTN MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ' Thursday, November 21. 1957 HORNBROOK Pirst Snow Falls In Area By MRS. H. H. CHAPMAN Hornbrook The first Snow of the season began falling in this area about 2:30 p.m. Sun day, and by the time it ceases at 7:00 p.m. a white blanket two inches deep covered the ground It began melting and soaking shortly thereafter, but 24 hours later, there was still an inch or so left. According to Gordon Jacobs, who went duck-hunting at Tule- lake Sunday afternoon, that area received about six inches of snow, and chains were manda tory on all roads thereabouts. Bob Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Smith, was scheduled to arrive home for the winter on Tuesday from his ranch near Rupert, Idaho. Bob won the ranch in a gov ernment drawing for veterans, and has spent the past three summer seasons improving it. His main crop is pea seeds which he raises for one of the large seed companies. The Women's Society of the Community Methodist church met on Thursday, Nov. 14, at the home of Mrs. Harry Chap man. In the Day's Hews O By FRANK JENKINS Remember GI William Girard? A Japanese court has found him guilty of manslaughter in the case of a Japanese woman who was scavenging scrap brass (empty cartridge .cases) on an army firing range in Japan. He was given a three year sentence, which the judge suspended. If there is no appeal, the case which created quite a furore will be ended. The vedict seems lenient and toler ant. Probably no one suspects Girard of firing deliberately at the Japanese, woman, but con sidering all the evidence that came out it certainly, does look like he was awfully careless with a shooting iron. SPEAKING at a potluck dinner for Marion county Democrats t Silverton, Oregon's Senator Neuberger told his hearers that "too much of the government's agricultural benefit payments go to big one-crop farmers in Mid-West and Southern states rather than to average farmers all over the nation." He criticized what he termed the absurd practice of subsidiz ing such a crop as tobacco while farmers growing nutritious pro ducts such as eggs, fruit and vegetables go without any feder al supports whatever. He said he hopes greater stress will be placed on a "really far-reaching agricultural policy" designed to protect the diversified family farm against economic and nat ural disasters. In Oregon, he added, about two-thirds of farm income comes from commodities with NO sup port!. DOWN there in Southern Ore gon and Far Northern Cal ifornia we know all about that. The specialty crops on which our agriculture is largely based get no systematic federal price sup port. But As acreage is taken out of the "basic" crops such as corn, wheat, cotton, rice and tobacco, the owners of these acres tend to plant it to OUR specialy crops such as potatoes, hay, grain and alsike and other small seeds. The result is that our markets for these crops have suffered severely from this type of subsidy-induced competition. I quite agree with Senator Neuberger that the whole basic crop subsidy system is becoming absurd. I1TE are hearing a lot in these confused days about the su per excellence of Russian scien tists. And, from weak-kneed and not too well informed sourc es, we're beginning to hear talk to the effect that our scientists don't amount to much. Listen to this: A six-year-old Pocatello Idaho girl with two holes in her heart will submit ta a complicated operation in Seattle next month to CLOSE the holes. While the operation is goin on. a special pumping machine will keep her blood circulating, by-passing her heart while the surgery is be ing done. Doctors say that without the operation she could live at most only four or five years, but if it is successful (as they think there is good reason believe it will be) she will be able to live a normal life. rpHE point. O During these years when it has made admittedly great strides. Russian science has been pointed toward the objective of DESTRUCTION. Ours has been aimed chiefly at making life LONGER AND BETTER for our people. Those are the admirable objectives at which we have aimed. I think it stands to reason that now we HAVE TO DO IT we can match the Russian scientists in develop ment and production of weapons for our defense. Let's not lose faith in our country. . In the absence of the president Mrs. Ernest Adams, the meeting was conducted by the hostess, with devotions led by Mrs. Hen ley Clawson.

Sherer, assistant to the president of United Air Lines, said today that UAL has approved cutting Spo kane service into and out of Pendleton. Sherer said the air line would back a proposal by 'Spokane to lift the "Pendleton restriction" which requires all flights to and from Spokane to pass through Pendleton. The move would cut down six flights a day into Pend leton and would leave only two flights to Spokane from here. Sherer said the move was made because the restriction was "ar chaic, outmoded and is costing the airline a lot of money to operate." Applegafe Youth Named To Honorary Corvallis Charles H.

AP Editors Seek Clearer Outline New Orleans (ID The As sociated Press Managing Editors association has urged President Eisenhower to outline more clearly what areas of govern ment information may be open to the press. The group passed a resolution to that effect Wednesday at its annual convention here, along with one which urged all citi zens to support legislation open ing governmental records to the public. The measures were passed by the general membership fol lowing sharp disagreement on the subject of government se crecy between Rep. and John D. Moss (R-Calif) and Assistant De fense Secretary Murray Snyder. Moss told the editors that the Defense Department's "public be damned" attitude resulted in the Air Force withholding informa tion about Russia's plan to launch a dog -carrying Sputnik. He charged also that this country is behind in the satellite field be cause of a "strait-jacket" of se crecy surrounding scientists. Snyder said Moss evidently has embraced the "myth" that federal officials are involved in "a great conspiracy of secrecy." Little information is being with held, he added, and experienced newsmen can usually get the in formation they seek. The editors themselves appar ently shared Moss' view, going on record as deploring efforts to brush aside the public's right of access to information not falling within the limited areas of security. The bituminous coal mines of the U. S. produce upwards of about 1,000 tons a minute with new mechanization. uui latn-jw nfi mtfl s IK 1 ' 'V---' 1 ' ( If Kentucky jjj bourbon euer mt into glass!
