37 SID HOLLINGSWORTH
"Hope it will be possible to
have a visit one of these
days."
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

2 A Tribute
i To Our Merchants!
Storekeepers, we think, are entirely too modest.
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!

Thornton.
Oscar D. Howlett, deputy

not been produced to support
charges that an attempt to
circumvent Oregon insurance
laws was made by the socie
ties. A societies' spokesman said
they would welcome business
state controls.

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.
