Full Recovery Expected Dr. Alexander Schieff , who regularly accompanies Arm strong on his foreign tours, said he doesn't think it will be long before the famed jazz trumpeter is fully recovered. "I believe he is over the humD now." Schieff said. "If he keeps on the way he is, he will be up and around again shortly. "If things go as well as they are going now, we'll go back to Rome in a few days. After a day or so of rest, we will go on to New York." Armstrong's wife, Lucille, said she wants him to rest for at least two months before he goes back to work. "He just works all the time," she said. "He doesn't know when to quit." Turn for Worse Armstrong was stricken early Tuesday, shortly after he arrived in this medieval mountain town to play at a music festival. At first his condition did not appear se rious, but it took an abrupt turn for the worse on Wednes day. "Wednesday was the worst day," Armstrong said last night. "I really felt low, but now Ol' Pops is on the way back." Two other famous jazz mu sicians - Sidney Bechet and Lester Young - had died in recent weeks, and worried friends and fans bombarded the Spoleto hospital with ca bles, letters and telephone calls seeking reassurance as to his condition.

Population Seen As Poultry Boost Corvallis - Oregon poultry' men sought minor relief from present woes here, June 18-19, in counting a few chicks be fore they hatch. Expected human population increases in Oregon in the next 15 years held forth a few bright spots on the industry horizon at the annual meet ing of the Oregon Poultry and Hatchery association. Oregon reckons its present population at about 1 mil lion but sees slightly more than 2 million by 1965 and about 2Vi million by 1975. Oregon's per capita egg pro duction in .1958 was 350 -identical to the U. S. per cap ita egg consumption. Neigh boring states of California and Washington also found lo cal production and consump tion in close balance, reported association secretary Noel Bennion, Oregon State college extension poultry specialist. Over the long pull, most poultry products including market eggs, broilers and tur keys will be produced in the area where they are consum- cM Open Monday Nights Till 9 Ijjk YARDAGE SPECIAL Summer Cleanup To Make Room for New Fall Yardage a at m m Reg. value Q7i y to 57c d Yard MOO i Fine yarn woven gingham foulards, wash and wear prints, cotton fabrics, 36 in. printed creptone.

Rapid West Coast population in creases offered some hope to the 150 association members on hand for their 39th annual meeting. Population Beats Production W. T. C o o n e y, associate dean of agriculture and for mer poultry department staff member, pointed out that Ore eon population has increased more rapidly, percentage-wise, in recent years than has egg production. But he warned that Oregon poultrymen can look ahead to such market op portunities only if they stay competitive. The chicken business is here to stay but it will have to be operated like a business, the speaker emphasized. He urged producers to set up careful records to measure net returns, citing a recent OSC study of poultry records in Yamhill county. Dollar returns per hour of labor varied from a low of 50 cents per hour to $2.39 among the sampling of Yamhill poul trymen in 1958. A study of 10 farms in the county in 1957 showed a range of 35 cents to $2.31 return per hour of la bor. Average egg production per hen in the 1957 study was 241, compared to a state aver age of 218 that year. Eggs sold for an average-of 38 cents per dozen. Cooney emphasized that on ly careful "records of produc tion, culling, feed, labor, and other items will keep poultry men on a businesslike plane for stiffening competition. Two long-time leaders of the Oregon poultry industry were honored at the associa tion banquet. Ambrose Brow nell and Fred Cockell, both of Milwaukie and both charter members of the 39-year-old organization, received scrolls of recognition for their contri butions to the industry. Both men are past presi dents of the Oregon associa tion and of the American Poultry and Hatchery Federa tion. Newberg Man President OPHA elected Henry Sten- bakken, Newberg, president for the coming year; Lewis Clark, Eugene, vice president; and Bennion was re-elected secretary. New directors are Ben Mitchell,. Beaverton, im mediate past president: Earl Ryals, Newberg; Jini Howells, Milwaukie; and Walter Schmidt, Hubbard. L: D. Sanborn, University of California poultry market ing technologist, said the two most important basic changes in the commercial egg busi ness are the development of new methods for determining egg quality and use of new egg quality control programs. Adoption of these methods and programs in place of hand candling, rated at less than 50 per cent accurate, will low er handling costs and improve consumer acceptance, the speaker added. Vern F. Steckley, Kendall ville, Ind., president of the American Poultry and Fatch ery Federation, stressed the importance of a "single com modity interest" organization for egg producers, embodied in the formation last fall of the National Egg Council. Steckley explained that the NEC would serve in all nor mal trade association activi ties excepting consumer edu cation and promotion which would continue as a function of the poultry and egg nation al board. It is not the intention of the Council to affiliate with the national organization of farm commodities, Steckley emphasized. He emphasized that the council "should concern itself purely and simply with the problems of the egg industry. It will find plenty to do." The nation's first natural gas well was drilled in 1821 at Fredonia, N.Y. ... Soviet Economy Said Challenge Portland (DPD-Assistant Sec retary of State for Interna tional Organization Affairs, Francis O. Wilcox, said here Friday night that the Soviet economic, rise is a challenge to the Free world. Speaking before the Oregon Association for the United Na tions, Wilcox said that K h r u s h chev "confidently looks forward to the day when the economy of the Soviet Un ion will surpass that of the United States."
