Spring lambs arrive early in this part of the state. Wild animals are always a threat to sheep and young lambs as a sheep is a defenseless animal, which has been preyed upon for centuries. Per haps more destructive than wild ani mals in this area are dogs roaming at large. Several sheepmen have re ported losses caused by dogs. A natural menace is the coyote, not deemed numerous but trapped oc casionally in this region. Govern ment trappers are sent to keep them under control, with some traps seen recently above Mill City. The coyote, usually regarded as a cowardly beast, is nevertheless shrewd and hard to catch. A scent is used to attract him and a trap or traps placed at strategic positions nearby. A scent, usually made from ground- putrid meat, is buried in the ground for a length of time until ready for use. Harley Scott, a Fox Valley sheepman, claims to have a recipe for coyote bait that is fool-proof. In the eastern part of the state where sheep bands are larger and coyotes more abundant; herders flag the sheep at night to discourage a coyote raid. Scraps of cloth, called flags, are tied on sticks and staked around the herd. These flags, with the vigilance of the herder, (who sleeps near his sheep) and at least two trusted sheep dogs protect the sheep who graze in bands of several thousand.

In December 1940. U. S. production of synthetic produc tion was 3.000 tons annually. In October 1950, synthetic produc tion was 45.000 tons. In June 1951, it is hoped Io produce 65.000 tons.

Phone SALEM .9-9468, OOLUCCT • 1079 Elm St., W. Salem J To put it politely—I'm disturbed. To put it honestly — I'm peeved! The objects of my anger are those speechmakers and writers who now say the washing machine is a luxury and that, accordingly, its production should be halted in favor of defense production and the continued output of certain “essential” civilian products. I am perfectly willing to give up the luxuries of peacetime life if it is going to help our nation in these perilous times. But I strongly dis agree with anyone who says that, washing machines are luxuries. I'm sure that you, as home makers, will agree with me. You will, if you’re like Mrs. Rich mond, who lives in our block and is a very busy young mother of three small chil dren. When I asked her what she’d do without a washing ma chine. she re plied: “I’d just have to throw in th sponge.” Then I began thinking: “Just why is the washing machine so necessary?” The most important reason is to keep our families and homes clean Cleanliness is the foundation of health, and good health is a prime requisite for high morale, a vital ingredient for personal and na tional success either in peace or war. At least seven out of every 10 American housewives do the family washing at home, where they have no choice but to use a washing machine. That is, unless you can possibly consider a return to great grandmother’s scrubboard as an alternative. The fact that 1 have a new wash ing machine doesn’t serve one bit to coo) my indignation dver state ments that production of the “lux ury” washing machine may have to be discontinued. Recently 1 read that more than 40 per cent of the washing ma chines now in use are 10 or more years old and in need of early replacement. In still another article I read that each year an average of 1,180,000 washers are becoming useless and are being junked. It is important to everyone that these machines be replaced, for the health and cleanliness of the people with whom we associate is as important to us as the health and cleanliness of our own families. It’s my own opinion that it's of vital importance, too, to the entire nation. History proves that one of the surest ways to weaken a nation is to first weaken the unity and strength (and that means health) of the family I, for one, am going to write my congressman! By C. WILSON HARDER | sition to continuing synthetic production has now become clear. • ♦ * In June 1950. just before Ko rea, crude rubber was ?8.6c per pound. By October it was 78.1c. • * • This runs into important money. For example, one of the “Big Three” in American rubber oper- crating plantations reveals it is now producing 61 million pounds annually in Liberia. Thus the vir tual tripling of price means an other $3'1 million yearly to this corporation. o * • So here's the way needless tire rationing can be avoided: « ♦ • Everybody who depends on au tomotive transportalion, in busi ness or on the job, should de mand liteir (' irrc. -"ru make a full mvesu . i i 4. rush pioduc- lion of synth' ti> '•u'ab'-r. Th- re sult would lie Miise « andals, but tar tewei pedestrians. * . • „ * ♦ 1 Tile move to end ■ r curtail the Marshall Plan is gaining impetus in Washington. Paradoxically, ' government hired press agents for tlie Marshall Plan < I a great deal in this directii/i by 1 disclosing what is going on. * * * For example. Il'A Bulletin I 1963 reveals that, although cop- 1 per is supposedly critically short. I over a m '.lion dollars worth was given to Holland this month. • • • And at a time when more taxes are asked for defense, the same bulletin covers this item: • • • French North Africa has just I been given $160,000 worth of to bacco. OOO These reports are the basis for a new slogan around Washington paraphrasing a Churchill war time speech: • oo “Never before have so few | given so much to so many.” Shuffleboard Good Music MEANDER INN Where Friends Meet On Highway 222, Linn County Side MILL CITY Tony Zlebert a 9 a I I § 0 0 0 o George 'Sparky* Dittar Birlhd'ii Gifts SPECIALTY CARDS TRICKS and PUZZLES TOYS and DOLLS MODEL AIRPLANES H.
