reaching their hotel in the
power halted city.
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

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

while.

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.

IT WOULD BE TOUGH DRIVING WITHOUT SIGNS...
You'd neverget anywhere on today's complicated
system of roads if you didn't have familiar signs to
tell you where you're going and how to get there
safely.
But shopping for your family is a lot more com
plicated than driving your car. And here, too, you
couldn't get along without the guideposts-the
manufacturers' brand names you know and trust.
Advertised brands have to be good. The man'
ufacturer's reputation and sales future depend
upon consistently delivering the kind of quality
and satisfaction you've learned to expect.
They're the sort of products advertised in this
newspaper. They're the sort of products you can
buy with confidence in today's
complicated world.
