He decided on the latter. The morning after their nuptials he woke up, took an objective look at his bride, nudged her, and implored, "For heav en's sa, SING!"

Syndicate In the Days News By FRANK JENKINS The U.S. department of ag riculture wound up its cur rent lard-purchasing program this week with the purchase of 3,027,000 pounds for about $367,000. Since the start of the program on Oct. 22, the department has bought a to tal of 61.560,000 pounds of lard for $7,313,000. Other purchases by the ag riculture department this week included 112,125 pounds of dried whole egg solids for $119,000. Since, the egg pur chase program began early this year, the department has bought 8,732,625 pounds of dried whole egg solids for $8,965,000. WHAT will be done with it? Well, presumably, this 70 odd million pounds of lard and dried eggs will be added to the already large food sur pluses stashed away in the warehouses and so will HANG OVER THE LARD AND EGG MARKETS OF THE FUTURE LIKE A THUNDERCLOUD. As a result, the next time the supply of lard and eggs gets a little short this sur plus will presumably come onto the market and will PREVENT THE UP IN PRICE THAT NORMALLY OCCURS WHEN DEMAND EXCEEDS SUPPLY. . That, I'm afraid, will be about the long and the short of it. Firms Join To Fight Competition Salem-(UPD-A Eugene firm and another from Coos Bay, competing in hauling resins, glues and chemicals to the southwest Oregon plywood industry, came out together at a public utility commissioner hearing Monday to oppose competition from a Portland carrier. Ferguson Transfer Compa ny, Coos Bay, and Everts' Commercial Transport Inc., Eugene, testified they were capable of handling "present and future commitments." The Portland firm of St. John's Motor Express has ask ed that PUC for extension of Intrastate rights to allow it to accept shipments from Bor den Chemical' Company, Springfield. LET'S turn now to a more cheerful subject. In 1959, the-estimated in come from agriculture in the Upper Klamath Basin of Ore gon and California reached a total of $39,079,014. This com pares with a Basin total of $31,967,609 in 1958 and $32, 979,794 in 1957. The 1959 total was the third highest in the Basin's history, being ex ceeded only by 1951 and 1952. The all-time high was in 1952, when the Basin's agri cultural income reached a to tal of $44,015,748. That was back before the time when land taken out of the so-called basic crops began to be put lnn the Basin's specialty crops, such as brewing bar ley, small seeds, etc.-a type of competition that has hurt our markets. llfHAT gave Klamath Basin ' agriculture its big up in tncvime In 1959? The answer to that is inter esting." IT WAS HAY AND uoTATfiFS Hav accounted for approximately two mil lion dollars or. ine isaa up over 1958 and potatoes for about six million dollars. How come? The answer to that is VERY Interesting. IN 1959. for whatever reason, hay and potatoes were in relatively short supply over the country as a whole. -So As a result of the operation of the natural law of supply and demand ' THE PRICE OF BOTH HAY AND POTATOES ROSE. Both were in relatively good supply in the Klamath Basin and so the Basin's hay and po tato producers were enabled to cash in. That's the story in a nut , shell. TV fnnrliminn 1 Suppose that in 1959 a huge subsidy - induced SURPLUS of hay and potatoes had been stashed away in me uniuu barns and storage warehouses ... to hang like a dark thun dercloud over the hay and po tato markets. ' ' i hat avent there would have been NO UP IN PRICE FOR THE KLAMATH BASIN GROWERS, because the sub- ir,l,,o,H nrnlUS would mj - Kit."-- i - have come out of the barns and the warehouses to swamp the market. That's about the size of it. COLLEGE PRESIDENT Portland-niPB-The new pre H-'rtt t,t Lewis and Clark col- i ,,- will be John R.

Herter. Department Press Officer Lincoln White said Monday that U.S. Ambassador to Cuba Philip Bonsai was "prepared to discuss any question of Cuban-U.S. relations at any tunc Castro was quoted Sunday as saying that he believed talks with Eisenhower and Herter might help to ease ten sions between the two coun tries. His statement apparent ly was not a formal bid for such discussions, however. 4-H NEWS Weitside Kniiten Kittens The March meeting was held at the Frink home.

Kathy Thompson Reporter State Insurance Retaliatory Clause Enforced Salem-ATD-Insurance Com missioner V. Dean Musser told a legislative interim commit tee Monday his department is enforcing the retaliatory clause in the state insurance law and is concentrating on 1959 taxes of out-of-state in surance companies. Musser testified before the tax - administration and ' ap peals subcommittee headed by Rep. ' Vernon Cook (D-Trout- dale). Cook and Musser exchanged bitter words recently on the issue, which centered on an attorney general's opinion holding that imposition of the retaliatory clause is manda tory rather than discretionary. Basis of Tax Rate ' The retaliatory clause states that an out-of-state insurance firm may be taxed on the basis of the tax rate of its home state if that rate is higher than Oregon's. Musser said there are 16 states involved where the higher rate will apply. When the new audits for 1959 are completed, probably next week, his staff will work back through the years to 1947 when the law was passed, he said. Musser said he has been "unofficially advised" that a test suit from an insurance, company is forthcoming.

"Every one of use came off the stage in tears." said dancer Caludia Kobelt, Ber keley, Calif. "It was the most fabulous thing that ever hap pened to us." An estimated 1,800 persons in Moscow's Red Army The ater clapped and cheered so wildly and so often that much of the dialogue and. some of the singing was lost.- ing for a man whose tele phoned bomb threat forced a United Air Lines Convair with 44 passengers aboard to return here Monday night for a thorough search. The plane later landed safely at Boise and continued its flight to Salt Lake City. The bomb scare was the sec ond on a Boise-bound United Air Lines plane in little more than 24 hours. An Eastern morning flight was grounded at Boise when a Catholic priest from Portland alleged ly made a remark about hav ing insurance in case there was a bomb aboard. Man Calls Office The flight grounded at Pen dleton, Flight 348 from Seat tle to Boise via Pendleton, was about five minutes out of the Eastern Oregon city when a man's voice called the oper ations office of the line in Boise and said, "There's a bomb aboard your next flight, Buddy." The plane was called back as state police, city and coun ty officers, and demolitipn ex perts sealed off the municipal airport from civilians. The passengers were taken off the craft and the baiigage was un loaded. Then, piece by piece and passenger by passenger, the flight was scoured by police and the FBI. Cargo Checked When it was considered safe, the plane, piloted by Dick Benslcr, Seattle, took off. R. E.
