BUILDING MOVED This Texaco service
station building at the corner of East
Main and Hawthorne sts., Medford, was
"whisked" away early Saturday morning,
Aug. 8, to reveal a brand new building
directly behind it. The picture above shows

roll," before it was moved to a lot on Court

in addition to other improvements. One in
novation of the modernized station is an
overhead grease supply unit. The station it
owned by Bud Peebler.

Agriculture Sag
In State Arouses
Plea for Scrutiny
Corvallis (UPB - The sagging
condition of agriculture in
Oregon may come under care
ful scrutiny in the near future.
Oregon State college has
been requested to launch an
investigation of the state's ag
riculture situation. The Ore
gon State Farmers union, in a
letter to OSC President A. L.
Strand, urged that the college
embark upon a study at "the
earliest possible date."
H. D. Rolph Sr., state presi
dent, said the Farmers union
is "much concerned over the
depressed condition" of Ore
gon agriculture.
"Despite this situation,"
Rolph said, "we have not
heard of any studies being un
dertaken by federal or state
agencies into the causes of the
depression, or recommended
remedies." " ,
Overproduction in some
areas was blamed for the "se
rious condition" of agriculture
in Oregon. However, Rolph
said, overproduction has not
hampered the dairy and poul
try industries in the state.
State Director of Agricul
ture Frank McKennon agreed
with the Farmers union.
"The farmers are definitely
in a price squeeze," he said:
"Any studies that produce a
solution would be wonderful."
Mr. and Mrs. Lester Namifz
(Susie) of Sweet Home, Ore.
She has been named Tracy
Gaye. .

Around Us

Naming of Some Things
Gets Pretty Confusing
It's very logical that we
get olive oil from olives, grape
juice from grapes, tomato
juice from tomatoes, or orange
juice from oranges. But il
logically, we do not get ban
ana oil from bananas or onion
oil from onions.
Of course banana oil does
have the odor and taste of ripe
bananas, but actually it is an
artificial product used com
monly in solvents" or as a fla
vor. Chemically the same is
true of onion oil. It, too, is a
synthetic, but it smells as if
it has been extracted from
crushed onions.
Color of Blood
It is pretty common knowl
edge that it is "impossible
to get blood' from a turnip,"
but the juice of the beet,
naturally called beet juice,
is the color of blood. There the
similarity ends. Pure vanilla
comes from a pod that grows
on a vanilla vine, ; but the
"vanilla" you get in ice
creams, cakes or cookies pur
chased in the store is not
vanilla at all. It is just a
flavor made in a factory or
laboratory.
There are . some startling
contraditions in the naming
of many common things that
get rather confusing. A ridicu
lous example of this mis-naming
process is the tropical
fruit, the avocado. We call
them "alligator pears." They
have absolutely no connection
either with pears or alligators,
except that some varieties are
slightly pear-shaped. But the
"alligator" part of the name
seems ill advised and mean
ingless - about as impossible
as "crocodile tears." No reptile
of ; this order was ever emo
tionally upset to the point of
shedding tears. .
Vitamins From Test Tubes
There are many valuable
vitamins contained in the liv
ers of the codfish, but today
these same vitamins can be
produced in a test tube - vita
mins that never developed in
an ocean fish, but we often
call this "cod liver oil."
Everyone who has ever
polished his own shoes, treat
ed a leather belt or a leather
wrist-watch strop or a purse,
has probably used neat's foot
oil. Perhaps you may have
wondered where neat's foot
oil comes from. Peculiarly
enough, we "get it from the
neat, and you'd be surprised to
learn the identity of this ani
mal even though you have
seen hundreds of them.
By some wild wrenching of
word twisting, a neat is a
bovine member of the animal
world, just another little-used
word for cattle. So neat's foot
oil is a pale yellow oil made
by boiling the feet and shin
bones of cattle and sold as
well as used by just "about
everybody who polishes his
shoes or softens a leather belt.
Legical, too, that the neat,
which means one cow or a
whole herd of cattle, lives in
a neat house, and belongs to
a neat herd. Confusing, isn't
it? .
