Distributed by Kin Features Syndicate In the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS When everybody is talking about politics, let's talk about the European corn borer. According to a survey just completed by the U.S. Depart ment of Agriculture, this vora cious insect pest, which was accidentally imported from Europe some 40 years ago, took a 68 MILLION BUSHEL People Asked to Remember Laws With the celebration of Law Day, USA, just complet ed, Chief of Police Charles P, Champlin has asked area resi dents to remember throughout the year the importance of lo cal, state and national laws. "A vital part of these laws are Medford's traffic regula tions," Champlin pointed out, "They should he respected just as the more lofty laws." He lists tnese tratlic laws as some which are often dis respected: coming to a full halt at stop signs, keeping the car under control by driving at speeds consistent with con ditions, bicycling with the flow of traffic and crossing streets at intersections. These laws don't have quite the importance about them as laws of search and seizure or murder, yet these traffic laws, too, are on the books to uphold the dignity of each man, woman and child and to protect lives, Champ lin added. He added that statistics show traffic law breaking to be an important factor behind the 492 traffic deaths and nearly 20,500 traffic injuries in Oregon last year. "Each Oregonian's practice of the rules of safe walking, driving and bicycling un doubtedly would eliminate much human suffering each year," the chief concluded. Dallas Girl Dies In Auto Accident Dallas, Ore. -UPD- Charlotte Bookey, 17, Dallas, was in jured fatally In a one-car acci dent Thursday night south of here on the Dallas-Falls City highway. Another person in the car, Sharon Kay Nelson, also 17, was taken to Dallas hospital for treatment of non serious injuries. Miss Nelson was thrown from the vehicle when it ap parently went out of control, then plunged end-over-end. Miss Bookey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lyle E. Bookey, died en route to the hospital. The beaver does not use its flat, scaly tail to excavate earth but rather to help him stand erect.

Min n bite out of the 1959 corn crop. Which is to say that but for the corn borer the 1959 corn crop would have been 68 mil lion bushels larger than it was. HWO questions: Is that a disaster? Or is it a blessing? LET'S put it this way: This 68 million bushels of corn that the corn borer elim inated from the 1959 crop back in the corn belt won't have to be added to the sur plus that is already stored away in the bins. It will amount to 68 mil lion bushels less stored corn to hang over the corn markets of the future like a dark thun dercloud. That Is something. 4 NOTHER cynical question; What will happen when (and IF) all the storage bins are full and there is no more room to build additional bins? Tb?t miaht solve the Prob lem. If all the land back in the corn belt were covered with storage bins, there would obviously be no more land on which to raise surplus corn. If half the land were cov ered with storage bins, there j would be only half as much land on which to raise surplus corn. That might help. T KNOW all this sounds ter- - ribly cynical. It isn't meant that way. The corn growers, the wheat growers, the rice growers, the cotton growers are not to be blamed for producing all the corn, all the cotton, all the rice, all the wheat they can. That is their job. Nor are they to be censured for ac cepting a subsidy. There are so many subsidies that the , farmers should not be pillor-1 ied for accepting one. The trouble lies with the politicians, whose interest lies in farming the farmers for votes instead of farming the land for crops. That's the root of the problem. Status of Minority Groups Top Issue Portland-ITOD-The status of 18 million Negroes and other minority groups in this coun try has become the nation's number one domestic issue,! Herbert Hill, labor secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Col ored People, said Friday. Hill told about 500 persons attending the Oregon Inter group Relations Forum here that the integration issues should be considered a nation-1 al rather than a southern question. ' The segregation situation, he said, is breeding a new generation with contempt for law in some sections.
