Thanks to the "big wind," the elevator was out of ser vice on the fifth floor and no lights. Finding a place to eat that same evening was a problem and when a restaur ant with electrictiy was found, they ate but a portion of their meal before total darkness occurred. Needless to say his trio left a definite impression. The team proudly accept ed a blue ribbon for Jose phine county, making the whole experience worth while.

Fir 772-2472 The notes below were prepared for Farm City Week by J. F. Short, Oregon's Director of Agriculture. They may refute some of the stories about our farmers being a drag on the state's economy, also the criticism of farmers for accepting help from the government. One speaker over the radio compared it to a race, saying all the segments of the country's economy were in a race, and if one (meaning the farmer) fell behind and couldn't make it, the others should not have to carry him. We would advise the wise speaker that if the nation's farm ing enterprise fell and couldn't get up, there would be a lot of hungry people hereabouts, including him. "Oregon farmers develop more than $400,000,000 annually of basic new wealth from the soil. A major portion of this comes into the state from out-of-state and foreign marketings. This new wealth develops several-fold as it moves through all the channels of commerce; it is a most important factor in our state's economy. Mort Workers Art On Tha Farm Than Eliowhtrt "More workers are employed by agriculture than any other activity in the state and Oregon's 42,000 farm families are customers for all the items of merchandise offered by downtown businessmen. Oregon farmers , spend more than $3uS million each year to cover pro duction costs. This money goes for agricultural chem icals, feeds, containers, equipment and petroleum pro ducts which are produced and distributed chiefly by Oregon labor and capital. It's also an economic fact of life in Oregon that transportation purveyors depend upon agriculture for their major tonnage. Our towns people should know what the tax experts say: that farm taxes are the chief support for schools as well as local government. "Oregon farmers , are efficient: each farm laborer feeds 27 workers. The consumer needs to know that only 38 cents of the food dollar today goes to the farmer. The other 62 cents goes for processing, marketing, pack aging: it produces convenience foods which make life in the kitchen simpler, quicker, easier. "You should know that the $2,500,000,000 invested in Oregon farms is equal to the total assets of our Ore gon banks! and that the $32,000 invested per farm worker is twice the amount invested for each factory worker." The farmers' share of a pound loaf of bread in 1961 was less than 3 cents. The taxes mentioned here are assessed and paid, regardless of crop failures, or prices paid for products grown. Parional Notts Mr. and Mrs. Everett Brown returned Sunday from Portland, where they spent Thanksgiving day, with daughter, Glenna, who is attending Bible college there. Ed Robinson and son hive returned from an extended hunting trip In Eastern Oregon, where they bagged a cow elk. Bill Duggan, sheik of the land of many oaks and builder of smog proof dwellings, has started work on a modern house up the road a short distance from the Don Wheeler home, which will be ready to occupy about the first of the year. We note that a Delaware judge would like to go back to the old whipping post ai a punishment for crime committed. This is no surprise as In the area where he lives, they used to burn witches at the Hake. In an issue of Harper's Weekly of 1862 there Is I picture of a whipping post in action. It shows a woman, stripped to the waist, her arms around the post, with her hands tied together low enough so that her back Is arched. A big, burly man is wielding the cat of nine tails. It must have been a horrid, gruesome sight. Her back was cut and bleeding, but the brute with the whip looked as though he hadn't given her the required number of lashes. The pictures, or sketches, in these papers were taken on the spot of actual happenings. We would not want to press the button lor a gat chamber killing, nor would we want to swing the eat of nine tails for a whipping post. Thought for the day At Thanksgiving time we re reminded how well off we ire as Americmt. N.
