Veterans with homes and farms
financed by the Oregon veterans'
loan program paid state property
taxes on 10,832 pieces of property
in the amount of $1,340,832 for
the year 1955-56, Director H. C.
Saalfeld of the department of
veterans' affairs reported this
week.
In Columbia county, 162 veter­
ans with homes and farms financ­
ed by the state loan paid $14,-
691 24 on their real property.
The veteran doesn't pay these
taxes direct to the tax collector.
He pays one-twelfth of them
every month to the department
of veterans’ affairs along with his
monthly loan repayment.
The
department in turn pays the tax
collector, and does it in advance
of the November 15 deadline in
order to give the veteran the ad­
vantage of a 3 per cent discount.
The tax savings effected for the
10,832 property holders this year
amounted to $38,376. The aver­
age tax paid by each veteran was
$114.55, compared to last year’s
$106,24.
I GEMS OF THOUGHT
THANKSGIVING
He who receives a benefit
should never forget it; he who be­
stows should never remember it.
—Pierre Charron
Ingratitude is a mask of selfish­
ness.
—Anonymous
While no offering can liquidate
one’s debt of gratitude to God,
the fervent heart and willing
hand are not unknown to nor un­
rewarded by Him.
—Mary Baker Eddy
Not every one who discharges
his debts of gratitude can plum',
himself on being grateful.

very little child is that he never
thanks you for doing things for
him—He is so sure you want to.

Many favors which God giv ’th
us ravel out for want of hemming,
through our own unthankfulness;
for though prayer purchaseth
blessings, giving praise doth keep
quiet possession of them.
—Thomas Fuller
First hand knowledge of par­
ticular regulations is important
in conducting business affairs.
These questions answered by the
State Bureau of Labor may be
some you have been pondering.
Q. Doesn’t Oregon have a mini­
mum wage law for women?
A. Oregon does not have one
overall minimum wage for wo­
men workers but sets specific
minimums for individual occupa­
tions. Under the wage and hour
law a legal minimum wage has
been fixed governing all indus- ‘
trial employment of women in
the state.
Q. What are the minimum
wages for women in (1) a store,
(2) a factory, (3) a hospital, (4) an
office, (5) a restaurant?
A. (1) Mercantile 70c, (3) Manu­
facturing 65c, (3) Hospital 65c,
(4) Office 75c, (5) Public House-
keeping 65c.
Q. May women be paid on a
piece work or commission basis?
A. A woman may be paid on
such a basis if the average wage
is equal to or exceeds the legal
minimum for the particular oc­
cupation in which she is employ­
ed.

Heavy Damage Noted
From Freeze on Shrubs
Many of our horticultural
plants were not completely* dor­
mant at the time of the recent
freezing weather, or perhaps
some of the species were not suf­
ficiently hardy to stand such
weather. At any rate there is
considerable damage showing up.
The new growth on laurel has
been killed, and this is also true
on some of the latest leaves of
t camelias.
Instances of this kind point up
the importance of delaying prun­
ing until the danger of severe
winter is past. A certain amount
of winter killing is not unusual,
but if pruning is delayed, all
such wood can be removed.
