Falher Coniests
Girl's Right To
Enter Convent
Hillsboro, Ore. V Attor
neys in the court of Circuit
Judge Glen Hieber Tuesday
battled over the ancient prin
ciples of religious freedom,
emancipation and parental
authority in the case of a 19-year-old
girl who went against
her father's orders to enter
a convent.
Ivan R. Miller of Milwau
kie brought a habeas corpus
action in Washington county
Circuit Court after his daugh
ter, Alice, entered St. Mary's
convent at Beaverton to be
come a nun in the order.
Attorneys for the girl cited
fher right to freedom of wor
ship and to emancipation from
parental authority after the
age of 18. A girl, they said,
could marry after that age
without parental consent. At
torneys for Miller contended
' that the issue of emancipation
may be revoked by a parent
at any time until a child
reached majority.
The courthouse was crowd
ed with spectators, many of
them the black-clad members
of the Sisters of St. Mary of
Oregon, the order young Alice
Miller hppes to join.
Judge Hieber said he would
take the case under advise-'
ment.

Grange News
Gold Hill Grange
Gold Hill Grange members
are still taking pride in their
Grange hall, especially since1
the burning of the mortgage
a few months ago, and more
recently the finishing of the
exterior of the building in a
two tone combination of as
bestos shakes.
Now, the members are mak
ing plans to do a little land
scaping and beautifying of the
grounds in order to create a
more suitable setting for the
good looking hall.
This .Grange hall, primar
ily intended for Grange meet
ings, is open, as a community
service, to all Gold Hill or
ganizations and groups who
desire a more suitable and
spacious place than can be
provided elsewhere in the
community.
Those attending the last
meeting heard the regular re
ports of standing committees
and a couple of timely topics
discussed.
The first of these topics was
the question of cheaper power
for Oregon. The advisability
of appointing a commission
to regulate the cost and con
trol of power for the state,
will be the subject of a de
bate at Upper Applegate Feb.
28. All interested are invited
to this meeting.
The second matter concerns
the flood control in Rogue
River valley. The Grange re
presentative on the commit
tee, reported that Army en
gineers would have a report
on the situation sometime in
June or July.
After these the grange lis
tened to the literary program.
This program featured a
few remarks and incidents on
the life and character of
George Washington, contrib
uted to by various members.
There was a group of vocal
numbers given by the Metho
dist church trio, Mrs. C. N
Gail, Mrs. Roy Eskew and
Mrs. Paul Molloy, the last two
being members of the grange,
Also contributed a whistling
solo.
Refreshments were served
in the dining room by Gert
rude Rosecrans and Mary
Jacks. The table was decorat
ed in observance .of George
Washington's birthday.

Per Capita Farm
Income Higher
By 10 Per Cent
Washington (IP) The Ag
riculture Department today
estimated per capita income
of farmers in 1957 was a
record S993, up 10 per cent
from the $902 calculated for
1956. "
This sharp per capita in
crease was accounted for al
most wholly by a decrease in
farm population.
Preliminary estimates in
the department's publication,
The Demand and Price Situa-
tion.'Vshow farmers' net real
ized income for 1957 totaled
$11,500,000,000, down 4 per
cent from 1956 net farm in
come. A substantial increase
in inventories of commodities
held on farms at the end of
the year raised farmers' total
net income for 1957 to $12,-
100,000,000.
More Than Anticipated
The department said the de
cline in realized net income
cash money left after pro
duction expenses are paid
was more than had been an
ticipated previously."
The realized net income in
cluded about $1 billion in di
rect payments from the gov
ernment. These payments
were for participation in the
soil bank, wool, agricultural
conservation, and sugar pro
grams. The per capita (income of
farmers from farm sources
only was $684, compared with
$601 in 1956. The per capita
income from non farm sources
mostly from off farm jobs,
was $309 in 1957. In 1956, it
was $301.
The department also re
leased the number of farms
by states in 1957. It showed
the long-time downward trend
in number of farms in opera
tion last year represented a
2.3 per cent decrease from
1956. The department also
estimated there will be about
4,750,000 farms operated in
1958. i "
Farms in operation in 1958
included:
Idaho 39,200, Washington
67,000, Oregon 55,000 and
California 132,000.
Corvallis OP) Oregon
farmers received more cash
for their crops in 1957 than
in any other year since 1952,
arrordinf? to Mrs. Elvera Hor-
rell, agricultural economist at
Oregon State college.
She said farmers received
nearly $410 million from
sales of crops, livestocK, ana
livestock products during the
nast vear. That was a slight
increase over farm cash re
ceipts during 1956 and was
the third straight year of gain
in Oregon.
