British thy Ret Dd As Merrie in 196 1 London - fUPI) - There will be a new Greut Britain in 1961, but perhaps not quite so "merrie" a one as in IflliO. In 19B0 the old Britain gave independence to the richest treasures of her oncc-upon-a time African empire. In 1961 the new Britain, her leaders BIRTHDAY CAKE Vice President Richard M.

Watkins (Register Mid Tribune Syndicate, 1961) It was a small stream, not large enough to be called a river, really just an oversized brook. It twisted and turned, often almost upon itself, through several miles of for est and brushland, and across several meadows. The current was swift. strong enough to sweep with n rippling rustic, around the bends, and roll gravel stones along its bottom. Here and there dark deep holes offered shelter for brook trout and an occasional rainbow trout. The water was always cool, clear and clean, even good to drink by thirsty trout fish ermen and woodsmen. Haven for Animals Deer came down to the wa ter's edge to drink. Wild ducks nested along the shore. Raccoons prowled the stream or waded into the eddies at the curves. One of the small brooks that emptied into the larger stream was dammed by a colony of beavers. H always had been pleasunt to rest on a log and look down into the clear water, to watch a moving gravel stone, as if pushed by invisible hands as it rolled along the bottom. It was enjoyable to experi ence the slight start when a dark form of a brook trout darted across the line of vi sion, or to watch the fish re main motionless in the water. It was always surprising that these colorful fish were al ways so dark and drab in appearance when viewed from above. Vivid Picture All these things were so Rotary Speaker Tells About Fire A destructive fire can sometimes become a blessing in disguise by offering an op portunity for completely mod ernizing a plant. . This view was expressed by Al Dumas, head of Dumas' Do mestic Laundry and Dry Cleaners in an address Tues day before the Medford Ho- tHry club.' Speaking at the Rogue Val ley Country club, Dumas told of the I960 fire which de stroyed his company's plant at HO-32 North- Riverside ave. The finest type of competitor relations was exemplified by other laundry and dry clean ing firms throughout this area and the state, Dumas said. Im mediate offers of assistance came from almost every ma jor Oregon community. This cooperation enabled the Med ford firm to continue service to customers without serious interruption, he explained. The speaker stressed the Importance of periodical re enccking of Insurance so that a destructive fire would not grove too disastrous. The completely rebuilt and modernized Dumas Domillc TAitmHrv nnd Drv Cleaners will be 'introduced to the puhCP lie soon with a open hcrtfse eel cbrutl(J, Dumas said. vividly etched on my memory. All down through the years I had pictured it in my mind. I made the mistake of think ing of the little stream as it was at the time of my fre quent visits, not as it would be when and if I could again walk along its winding course. And when I did, the shock was almost too much. The trees, the beautiful meadows, the singing birds, the grassy banks, muskrals, raccoons, beavers, even the beauty, all were gone. Looking into the water was to experience a feeling of nausea. Paper pie plates, emp ty beer cans, floated sluggish ly on the water surface. Dis carded automobile tires, rust ed bed-springs, piles of plas ter, and debris of a hundred kinds, decorated the once mossy banks. Civilization had come to the little stream. On its surface and along Its edges was de posited the residue of a peo ple, the pollution of a para- disc; the discarded junk from a culture about which we con stantly brag. Poor little river. And there are many of them - what a price to pay for "progress." 80 Veterans In County Get Loans Oregon veterans' farm and home loans were granted to 80 veterans In Jackson county last year, totaling $865,901), according to II. C. Snalfeld, director of the slate depart ment of veterans nffairs. This year, it the predicted volume of $60 millions holds true for the state, veterans in this county should receive loans in the amount of about $2,298,000, based on the vol ume of slate loans here since 194S. In Josephine county last year 25 veterans borrowed $259,550, with a predicted amount for 1961 of $912,000. Statewide last year 2.185 vet erans borrowed $22,989,150. A considerable drop from 1959 was due to the depart ment's lack of authority to issue bonds to obtain adequate loan funds. Saalfeld said that because of the passage of the war vet erans' bonding and Joan amendment in the recent gen eral election, ample funds will be on hand this year to meet the continuing high demand (or loans. say, must develop the ability to lead a Commonwealth in which men of darked skin hold the overwhelming ma jority vole. In 1960 the old Britain per haps had the richest year of her world trading history. In 1961, according to Prime Min ister Harold Macmillan, the new Britain will be imperiled unless she can expand her trade far beyond the current level. In 1960 a commoner, An tony Armstrong-Jones married royalty, Princess Margaret. In 1961 the new Britain, if Tony has his reported way, will have a "working" member of the royal family. In 1960 the old Britain wit nessed the disappearance of hundreds of fish - and - chips shops. In 1961, according to government estimates, the number of neon-lit, chromium plated hamburger bars in Brit ain will double into the thou-, sunds. In 1960 the old Britain gave her militant trade unions a continued wave of pay-raise agreements. In 1961, accord ing to trade union and parly leaders, the Labor party will have to undergo one of the severest intramural battles in its history to rebuild a na tional might which a fight over unilateral disarmament cracked. More Automobiles In 1960 the old Britain gave more Britons more automo biles than ever before. But the dawn of 1961 saw British auto production cut in half as mar kets petered out. In 1960 Soviet Premier Nl- kita S. Khrushchev publicly questioned whether Great Britain deserved to be called "great." In 1961 Macmillan must meet demands from both the political left and right to assert Britain's former inde pendent power in world af fairs. In 1960 the rale of British coffee consumption pushed ahead of tea drinking prog ress. In 1961 new Britain, so say the Saville Row stylists, will witness the once bowlcr hatted gentleman wearing some of the tightest trousers ever form-fitted for man. In 1960 Macmillan and La bor parly leader Hugh Gait skell made fond farewell speeches to Britain's well- known friend, President Ei senhower. In 1961 both Mac millan and Gaitskcll will be trying to establish friendship with a President with whom they've never eaten breakfast In 1960 the old Britain wit nessed the rise of a European common market which did not include her. In 1961 the new Britain, according to her worried economists, will have to decide whether trade pref erence should still be given to commonwealth countries instead of to Britain's con tinental neighbors. Aliens Reminded To Make Reports Portland -Immigration offi cials arc well pleased with the response of aliens in the stale of Oregon to address report requirements. James L. Turner, district director of the Immigration and Naturalization service, stated that although the pro gram has been under way only seven days, the number reporting thus far is well ahead of the number report ing during the same period last year. Aliens have until the end of January within which to submit their report of address to the government. Forms for the purpose may be obtained at any post office or any of fice of the Immigration and Naturalization service. All aliens, with few excep lions, are required to report Those excused from this re quirement include diplomats, persons accredited to certain inlernalional o r g a nidations and persons who were admit ted temporarily as agricul tural workers. Aliens who are minors must also report, but the par ent or legal guardian should submit the report for an alien child under 14 years of age.

AtMtut - "Farm Coopera tives Can Merge" is the name of a study appearing in an Agricultural Experiment Sta tion circular by Howard C. Hogg, instructor in social sci ence at Southern Oregon col lege, and Gerald E. Korzan, agricultural economist at Ore gon State university. A summarization of the ar ticle also appears in the fall issue of "Oregon's Agricul tural Progress," an annual publication of the experiment station. According to the -article, mergers of farm cooperatives can lead to increased income for members. To obtain these results Hogg and Korzan made a study of five Oregon supply and marketing cooperatives which gave evidence that an additional $418,000 might have been distributed to mem bers of these co-ops over the past three years as increased receipts from marketing grass seed-if they had merged in 1956. Sizable savings would have resulted also from com bined bookkeeping systems and other economies brought about through such a merger. Increased Competition Korzan stated that coopera tives, like other businesses, have been feeling the pinch Irfif increased competition and decreasing net markins. One way to avoid this is to en large the business and mod ernize procedures - thereby saving money in operating costs and bringing in. more money for members. Larger firms can reduce risks through diversification of interests, more orderly mar keting, easier financing, and better management. Before mergers arc possible co-op members must be con vinced of these three things: They will get better prices for the products they are sell ing through the co-op; they will ;eceive lower prices for products they buy through the co-op, and their assets will not be used to bail out a weak or failing cooperative organization.
