MEDFOHD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. OREGON MONDAY. NOVEMBER S. 1962 Small Worlds Around Us By LYNN M. WATKINS (lUgietar anal Tribune Syndicate) 1U2) More Pilgrims Would Hit SurrlTtd With Cow or Two They Just a' out didn't make it. They wouldn't have, had it not been tor some wiser ones who later insisted on sending a few animals on ships that followed the May flower to the new world. We like to believe now, viewing their early trials and hard ships from a distance of a few centuries, that the Pilgrim fathers fought and conquered wild beasts and a howling wilderness. Some of us, even today, fear the woodlot or the va cant field, imagining that it Is nature in the raw and that dangerous creatures wait for the unwary human. The idea is as stupid now as it was then. The Pilgrims trembled at the movement of every grass blade and many of us today .still worry for fear something is going to jump out and hurt us. The death rate of-the early pioneers was high but not be cause of wild beasts or In dians, but mainly from mal nutrition and disease brought QUALIFIED Dal Donald E.

SoToral Reason There were several reasons of course, for this, but one of the most important should have been obvious even to them. They should have made room in one of the ships for a cow or two that could pro vide fresh milk. Some one, wiser than the majority of those aspiring to settle in the new land, had more than a flash of inspira tion, for he made it compul sory that other ships follow ing the Pilgrims should carry cows. They learned, eventu ally, for as the tide of civiliza tion flowed westward, swal lowing up and settling new territory, almost all the wag ons that lumbered westward over the roadless plains led a few docile cows behind the tailgate. Whenever the wagon trains stopped, wherever the blue smoke of cooking fires spiraled upward into the clear air, these pioneers had the milk and dairy products that made the difference between a balanced diet and an inade quate one. The cow has never received much credit for having been present, even on ships that followed the Mayflover. She, and those that followed her, populated the west and fed the pioneers after the bison had been killed. Before Bossy came to North America, a relative was galloping across the wide plains - the Ameri can bison, commonly called buffalo. The bisen was, of course, a branch of the animal kingdom known as "bos." Probably from the name "bo9" is derived the term of endearment so frequently ap plied when we call the cow "Bossy." Far East NatWe The real buffalo is an ani mal of the Far East, some what different from the ani mal that once roamed the western plains. Without the faintest shadow of doubt, it can be truthfully said thai the members of the taurine world are the most important ani- ELECT ROBERT J.

Their presence would have made a great dif ference in how many Pilgrims survived. They goofed; they should have brought them along. Fresh Vegetable Supply (or Fall Marketing Small Washington iUPiT The Agri culture Department says sup plies of fresh vegetables for late fall marketing are ma terially smaller than a year earlier and a little smaller than the 1951-60 average. Prices this fall are expected to average significantly above those of a year ago, the de partment said in a review of the vegetable situation. Con sumer demand for fresh vege table has continued strong during 1962. Prospective supplies of car rots are significantly larger than a year ago, and those of cauliflower and b r u s s e 1 s sprouts probably a little larg er. Dry onions also are in ma terially larger supply. But sup plies of all other major items are expected to be smaller than last year. Mora Canned Vegetables Supplies of canned vege tables into mid-1963 are ex pected to be substantially larger than both a year earlier and the recent 10-year aver age. Supplies of snap beans, corn, and most tomato items are expected to be record large. Frozen vegetables probably will be in slightly to moder ately smaller supply than those of last season, the de partment said. Overall prices of canned vegetables are expected to average slightly below those of last season. Among major canned items, prices of corn, snap beans, and tomato items are likely to average lower than last season. Overall prices of most frozen items probably will average near those of last season.

White City Goes Over Top of Quota White City - Domiciliary members and civil service em ployees at the Veterans Ad ministration here went way "over the top" of the quota set for the 1962 United Fund Crusade, according to word from Director C. T. Jackson. With Byron Puhl. supply department, as chairman, and Adolph F. Rossknecht, admin istrative assistant to the domiciliary-officer-registrar, a s co-chairman, the last report gave a total of $1,359. The quota set was for $825. Rossknecht handled mem ber contributions. At the start of the campaign in September the member quota was estab lished at $250. This was ex ceeded with the amount turn ed in concluded at $750. With promises and pledges forthcoming the total figure will be still larger for the en tire facility, Puhler said. Salem - Oregon produces about 25 million pounds of wool in a normal year.
