The truck is housed .in a fire proof station which has only recently been completed. Re turns from the dance are used each year for maintenance of the department. The local department was or ;oized in January 1908 and since that time all calls have been answered by the volunteer crew. Ben Faus, who resigned last November 10, assisted with the organization and before his retirement was credited with be ing the oldest fire chief in point of service in Oregon. He left a few months ago to make his home in Denver. ----- Two teams headed by Bob Walker and Jim Merrilces sold tickets, the losers to entertain the winners at a later date. Ticket sales for the dance had passed the 600 mark last week end. Joe Bally is general chairman and the department ' members promise a big dance and a big time. . .

War Bonds Not Cheeking Account, Says McMullen Farmers should consider their war bond investment a backlog of security Bnd not a checking account to meet production costs, in the opinion of Lee S. McMullen, Klamath Falls farm er and secretary-treasurer of the Klamath Production Credit asso ciation, who urges continued in vestment in these gilt-edged se curities. Pointing to the fact that any number of credit institutions have 41 to 6 per cent money to loan for production purposes, Mr. McMullen believes farmers actually will make money by holding their bonds to maturity and borrowing short-term funds to pay seasonal operating ex penses. "A $500 series E war bond, costing $375, if held to matur ity, will return $125 in inter est," says Mr. McMullen. "Although- the interest piles up faster in the years just preced ing maturity, it is an average earning of $12.50 per year for the 10-year period. The aver age borrower of short-term farm production funds actually uses the money only 4 months out of the year. If he borrowed $375 each year for 10 years and paid S per cent interest his annual interest cost would be only $6.25 and in 10 years only around $62.50, or just about half of the interest return on the bonds. Therefore, he is definitely money ahead to leave his investment in bonds and borrow for season al production needs. t "Even if the cost of produc tion funds was equal to or ex ceeded earnings from a war bond investment, it is sound business to build up and main tain a liquid reserve to meet emergencies and to help keep the financial house in order should agriculture run into a period of low yields and depress ed prices."

We divided up in groups to make our salad. When we finished preparing our salad we decided that the French dressing was best. Ann Egan and Richard Schieferstein were the ones on the group to make the French dressing. Later it was suggested to the leaders, Mrs. Zinn and Mrs. Egan that we make a scrap book of what we do. We will keep news reports, pictures and reci pes. It will probably be brought up definitely at the next meet ing. We will study and make something at our next meeting.

MVKNTQCK NUMBER DOWN Livestock numbers in the United States declined rather aharply during 10 W. fter having increased steadily from liwa lo 1H and having reached an all time peak In 1944. The numbers of all species of livestock and also of chickens and turkeys on January 1. IMS, were below those of a year earlier.
