PAGE SIXTEEN HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON THURSDAY. JANUABv Covbelles Set Fashionable Pace At Meeting, Working Hard To Aid Sale Of Beef By JOHN JAMESOV COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. W) Hie gals from the range are not what they used to be. They nre as sleek and modern as the purebred beef cattle their husbands and fathers raise on the Western ranges. Three hundred of these ranch women, who have their own organi zation, the Cow Belles, are meeting here while their menfolk wrestle with the problems which beset the livstock producing business these days. The men, members of the Amer- Jap Firm Low Bidder On Job PORTLAND W Hitachi, Ltd., of Tokyo, submitted the low bid for turbine governors to be used at The Dalles Dam, the Corps of En gineers reported Tuesday. It was the third time In three months that a foreign firm has been low bidder for equipment for Pacific Northwest dams. Hitachi's bid of $1,073,522 was nearly one quarter million dollais below the lowest American bid Pelton Water Wheel Co. of San Francisco, $1,314,785. The American bid was third low. The second low was $1,163,628 sub mitted by Costruzlonl Meccaniche Riva, of Milan, Italy. English Electric Co. of England recently won a contract for a gen erator at McNary Dam and sub mitted a low bid for generator equipment for Lookout Point Dum on the Middle Fork Willamette River. The Lookout Point bid was rejected, however, because the firm could not meet the required delivery date. College Sells City Property PORTLAND (Pi Multnomah College Tuesday approved pay ment of $36,000 to the city of Port land to clear title to some prop erty, then to sell the property for $125,000 to the First Methodist Church here. The property, at S. W. 18th Ave. snd Jefferson Street, was bought from the ,ctty for $36,000 in 1950. That sale provided for payment or a similar sum should the college not use the property for school' or recreational purposes. Eric Ladd, a builder who has re constructed three old landmark homes near the site, offered Mult nomah College $161,000 but officials said they had already committed themselves to the church, which plans a sanctuary, chapel, recrea tional center and offices. lean National Cattlemen's Assn., can be spotted easily by their high- heel boots, big hats and typical Western garb, but not the women. As they opened their convention with a luncheon in the luxurious Broadmoor Hotel, there wasn't a calico dress in sight nor a sun bonnet, and the high heels were strictly French, not cowboy. From all appearances it might have been a meeting of a group of clly women. 'We live Just like the people in Ihe city do and have more room," commented Mrs. Wayne Rowe of near Lawton, Okla., as she let a fur cape slide off her shoulders. But some remember when it was different, as did Mrs. Rowe and Mrs. Lucius Long, another Okla homan. from Meers. "I remember when we used to gather up chips for a fire and J he water froze in the buckets in the house," said Mrs. Long, who was born on a Texas ranch and has lived on a ranch all of her life. "But it's different now," she ob served. "We have pushbutton stoves, electric dishwashers, tele vision and all those things." The ranchwomen, traditionally helpers of their husbands, haven't lost that touch as life has become easier. The CowBelles No. 1 Job for this year is to help promote the sale of beef. The campaigns has been pushed by local groups and now is being expanded to a national basis, ex plained Mrs. Ralph L. Cowan of McNeal, Ariz., retiring president. "One of our slogans is eat beef and stay slim," said Mrs. Cowan, who added that the women also are educating housewives in the use of less expensive cuts of meat and stressing slow cooking of beef to reduce shrinkage of the meat. The men's group also listed promotion as Its biggest job of the year in a drive to halt the drop in beef eating and beef prices anb thus solve the stock growers' prob lem. Cotton Acreage Up To Committee WASHINGTON W) It's now up to a House-Senate conference com mittee to work out a compromise bill fixing the maximum cotton acreage the country's cotton grow ers can plant tills year. The matter was checked to a conference committee by Senate action late Tuesday approving a bill which would fix the 1054 cotton acreage allotment at 21,370,000 acres four million less than 1053 plantings but 3 Vz million more than the figure set last fall by the Agriculture Department. Last year the House passed a bill setting the figure, at 22 V2 mil lion acres.

Legislative Move Fought SALEM W Attorneys for State Rep. .David fiaum, La Grande, filed their brief in state Supreme Court Wednesday in Baum's suit contesting the 1052 amendment re apportioning the Legislature. Baum lost in Marion County Cir cuit Court when Circuit Judge Rex Kimmell ruled that the constitu tional amendment is valid, Baum then appealed. Under the amendment, Oregon's Legislature will be reapportioned for this year's elections for the first time since 1910. The amendment provides that If the Legislature refuses to reappor tion itself after each federal cen sus, then the secretary of state or ih state Supreme Court shall do so. Baum contends that this violates the constitutional provision that the legislative, executive and ju dicial departments shall remain separate. Baum brought the suit against Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry and Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton. They will file their answering brief in a few weeks. 9th and Pine Phone 3188 I kJr i. -...- r-'-kii3S(k. fl .. f, ifr0 New-Guaranteed 4 Years 57 plates, 125 Ampi Hours 19.95 and your old battery New old only ul Wards the mo$t powerful Type 1 Battery on the market.

In an address at the annual con vention of the National Rural Electric Cooperative Assn. Rep. Lovre (R-SD) said: "Individuals and groups, with authority to speak for neither of the major political parties, have tried to make it appear that the present administration was talking with tongue in cheek when it drafted a party platform that pledged its continued support for rural electrification. "The REA program, these self appointed spokesmen have said, is being scuttled. The farmers, they have said, are being sold down the river. "What nre the facts: The sim ple, straight-forward fact is that during the past 12 months, under the present administration, the REA program has been strength ened and improved and carried forward with fresh vigor and re newed determination." He denied that there Is any truth to claims that the government plans to raise interest rates or sell the electric cooperatives to private utilities. 9th and Pine Phone 3188 $10 HOLDS TILL MAY 1st The coming boating season will pack extra thrills when you have the new Sea King Motor of your choice. $ 1 0 puts yours aside on Wards Lay-Away Plan pay balance or ask about Terms when you pick It up.

Last year the river below Bonne ville Dam was opened April 30 and the upriver opening was delayed until May 13. State biologists had recommended the same for this year in an attempt to increase the number of fish which reach spawn ing grounds. Upriver fishermen complained, however, that the late season wasn't profitable for them, and the uniform dates were set for both above and below the dam.
