SUNDAY, AUGUST 31, 19158 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE FIVE Hymn Loving Millionaire Gives Organs CLEVELAND, Ohio (UPI) - Claud Foster, 8G-year-oId inventor and manufacturer who has given away seven million dollars, is get ting his biggest thrill out ot passing around bis last $500,000. Each Wednesday, Foster's small office here is packed with minis ter and their families, mostly from small Unto communities who have come to pick up s check for a free organ. Foster will give away IS organs each week until the total reaches 700. Then he'll tour the state to "see and hear how those organs are being used." The organ giveaway started this way: "I used to drive around in the country on Sunday, stopping off to attend services at small churches," Foster explained. "I heard some fine sermons, but it grated on my nerves to hear people singing to the accompaniment of an old piano that usually was out of tune. "I decided to give those church es a good organ when I could af ford it. Now I can, so I'm doing it," he added. A visit to one of the first recip ients of a free organ stirred a mild uproar from the white-haired inventor when he discovered that the instrument was not being used. "We have no one who can play it, the minister said. It was no excuse for Foster. "Anyone who can play the piano can play this organ, ne saia. And before he left, the minister's wife had begun mastering the key board. Meat Serious Import Study mmm 1 JS IT WAS A LONG TRIP for Mn. Ada B.

Hungary's Only Used Car Lot Does Booming Trade By KURT NEUBAUER BUDAPEST (UPI) A weslerner1 visiting the state-run used-car lot here probably would think he had wandered into a JiinK yarn. Yet. mobs of would-be buyers line up in front of the lot on sale days to buy. If he car is not more than 20 years old, any price will do. One 25-year-old Austrian-made car sold for $850. A 16-year-old Italian car went for $1,800. Another ancient Austrian-made auto was sold within IS minutes for $900 and the smiling new own er didn't even complain when tlte engine didn t start. He and his friends lust lumped out of the car and pushed it down the road to ward home. Until a few months ago, no Hungarian citizen could buy a car used or otherwise without spe cial state authorization. But since last April, such permission is nec essary only for the purchase of a brand-new car. Even in Communist Hungary, the iron rule of supply and de mand came into force after the purchase restrictions were lifted. Used-car rates soared. The slate run "Autoker" never has enough used cars on hand to check speculation. The purchase and sale regula tions here are enough to make any Western used-car dealer green with envy. A- used car bought from "Auto ker" cannot be sold for one year. When re-sold, it is to "Autoker." If someone is permitted to buy a new car, he cannot sell it tor tour years except to "Autoker." And, of course, he must sell his old car to "Autoker" when getting new one, since nobody here is entitled to own two ears. To eet a new car and only an elite portion of the population is eligible you must put your name on a waiting list. Fiberglass Boat Building Materials The Gun Store 714 Main Ph. TU 4-3861 Prospects for expanding Oregon's livestock and poultry industries to fill local demands for meat are under study by Oregon State Col lege agricultural experiment sta tion. utost Toast noDuIation increases coupled with higher standards of living, have wrnea coasiai siaies Inln a meat - importing area ports Dr. Gordon R. Sitton, OSC agricultural economist heading the new project. A large percentage of the pork and broiler meat eaten in Oregon is shipped in from outside the western region. Increased cattle feeding in Oregon during recent years is bringing supplies of beef closer to local demands, the econo mist explains. Greatly expanded feed grain pro duction in Oregon during the past five years may be the key to more livestock and poultry grown for local markets, believe state agri cultural loaders. The OSC study la expected to run for two or three years. Re- biiIIs will be miblished in a form designed to help farmers decide whether it is economically sound for them to go into the livestock business or to expand present livestock operations. Lone-ranee economic opportunity for various types of livestock enter prises on Oregon farms will bo studied. AHernativo livestock pro grams will examine such informa linn a investment required, risk, and amounts and types of feeds required.

Oregon farms produced an aver g nf 425.000 tons of barley, oats, and corn per year from 1949 to loss Rv 1956. production of these feed grains had increased to 767,- 000 tons. Barley prices m w-s"" fell from $54.58 per ton during the 1949 to '53 period to $.19.58 in 1957.

Farm Bureau Roster Gains Oregon Farm Bureau Federation exceeded Its state membership quota in July with a total of 9,285 family memberships, or 45 over the 1958 auota.

Traditionally, an entirely new membership committee Is named for each year and the start of the 1959 membership campaign was laid at the annual committee mcet- t,o at the P ot Butte inn at ucnu last week in July. The selection of a new committee eacn year givi more members an opportunity to have a key hand in building the Farm Bureau in Oregon.
