This is the closing line in a personal letter to Ray Jones, an Oregon National Guard veteran, written by Maj. Gen. Thomas E. Rilea, former ad jutant general of the Oregon National Guard, shortly be fore his death early this year. Ray Jones had every rea son to be moved by this loss of a friend. Jones and Gen eral Rilea met when they were stationed on the Mexi can border in 1916, the form er a musician in the band, and the general "then a buck pri vate" was a bugler. Jones played the cornet and young Rilea was impressed, as any fellow trumpeter would be. Visited Frequently "After the war, I visited him frequently," Jones re lates. "I watched him go from private to sergeant major and then become a lieutenant at headquarters in France." Jones became a watchmak er as well as a musician and made his home at Clatskanie, Ore. His friend stayed in the service and became a general, but in all the years of change, they still remained "buddies.' When Ray learned that Camp Clatsop was to conduct dedication ceremonies June 24, and become Camp Rilea, he decided to do something about it. There are a number of 41st division members at Camp White so they asked Martin Delaney, who does fine copper work, to make a likeness of General Rilea for a memorial plaque. Writes Headquarters When it was finished and mounted on an oak frame, Ray beamed. He wrote to Na tional Guard headquarters at Salem for instructions con cerning its presentation at the ceremony. Col. Carl H. Cover wel comed this gesture from the former guardsman at . the domiciliary and arrangements Were started for its delivery on the occasion as "a constant reminder to all of Oregon, of the efforts the general ex pended malting possible that camp for military purposes to Oregon." . The plans for receiving the plaque fell through at the last minute and Ray was left with his work and his hopes fru trated. But Ray didn't forget one lesson of a soldier wheth er it is carrying a "message to Garcia",, or an atom bomb, and that is to complete the mission. He obtained a furlough and PLAQUE PRESENTED Gen.

They serve you and your family faithfully every day. Yet how often do you remember their im portance in your life? The merchant is a busi nessman. He must carry a heavy investment. He must own . his building or pay rent for it. There are clerks and salespeople to pay. And a eonstantly-changing display of food or mer chandise of some kind. The merchant must al ways make you think that "the customer is always right." Which isn't always true. So re member the trials and tribulations of your grocer, cleaner, department-store merchant, et cetera. And give them the fairness they deserve!

VJg JULY 19 THRU 25 FARM SAFETY This week the Milk Producers' League of Jackson County joins with the utilities, feed dealers, insurance firms, implement dealers and oil distributors in urging you to make a DOUBLE CHECK on the hazards that may exist around or in your farm. Here are some suggested points of safety: Arc your electrical appliances and wiring ade quate? e Are you covered with a reliable and adequate insurance policy? Are your feed lots and storage bins safe from harmful bacteria or contamination? Are your oil and gas containers safe from fire hazards, closed or covered and out of reach of tho younger "farmers"? e Are your plows (especially discs) and other im plements safely kept whero playing children or excited livestock won't be seriously injured on them? Are your sewage and garbage disposals suf ficient to prevent stagnation that may bo harmful to people or livestock? We feel that a "YES" to all these questions will mean that you can easily have an accident-free farm for years to come especially if you maintain a constant vigilance against other minor hazards not mentioned here that could impair your family's safety and health and Remember- to insure your family of continued good health, be sure 'to encourage them, as well as your friends and neighbors, to reserve plenty of that energy-building milk you produce for themselves. There's nothing more ' nearly perfect for health than MILK. Serve It cold and fresh at every meal. MILK producers flcagu Drink at least 3 Glasses of Milk a Day!
