You . . . probably have fire
insurance on your home. But
...at today's increased
values ... are you sure you
have enough protection?
Milking cows without a profit
; is not the goal of Oregon dairy
men but it seems that some are
doing it.
The average production per
cow in Oregon of 6000 pounds of
milk compared to 8500 pounds
annual production for DHIA
cows is proof that there are many
cows being fed and milked for a
very low income says Don Coin
Walrod, county extension agent.
One-fourth of the cows being
milked add to the surplus dairy
products problem and make no
money for the owner.
There is ample proof that in
many herds thes- low producers
are given feed that if added to
the feed of the rest of the herd
would provide more net return
with less labor.
Only one out of six cows milk
ed in Oregon is production tested
at present. Production testing is
the key to greater profits through
records making it possible to do
a better job of feeding, culling,
breeding and general manage
ment.
Dinner Planned
At Birkenfeld
A community Thanksgiving din
ner is planned for the Winema
Grange hall at Birkenfeld, Wed
nesday evening, November 27.
Plans are being made by the
Sunday schools at Bn kenfeld and
Jewell and will include the com
munities of Elsie, Vine Maple,
Jewell and Birkenfeld. However,
anyone else who wishes to join
with them is welcome to do so.
The evening will begin with
the potluck dinner at 6:30 pm.
which is planned to be an old-
fashioned Thanksgiving dinner.
This will be followed by a pro
gram using all local talent and a
Thanksgiving message by Rev.
Evern Harshman.
Most of the
churches in the valley are par
ticipating in the affair.
Did you ever turn on the elec
tric stove and have the radio
slowly turn red, while music
started coming from your refrig
erator? Or plug in the toaster
and have the oven door light up
with "I Love Lucy?”
Of course not—because elec
tricity is dependable. If wiring
and appliances are in good, safe
condition, we will get the result
we expect when we snap a
switch, plug in an appliance, or
turn on a motor.
There are danger signs to heed
and precautions to take if elec
tricity is to continue being a safe
dependable servant. A spark or
flash occurring where it shouldn't
is a warning of trouble that
should be investigated immedi
ately. as it might start a serious
fire if the cause isn’t remedied.
The first tingle of shock that
you feel when a switch is turned
on or appliance is touched is an
other serious Hvarning to heed—
because the second shock could
make you feel like the roof caved
in!
A shock is usually an indica
tion that a '•hpt” wire has be
come ground d or is touching th.-
frame of the device or appliance.
Further, it is a condition that
will grow worse rather than ini- I
prove.
Appliances such as washing
machines, water heat '-rs and
stoves should be properly ground
ed. Portable electric tools used
in garages or basements should
also be ground ?d.
Everyone knows the potentia’
danger of frayed exten on and
lamp cords. Overloading circuits j
lowers the voltage and may cause
fire if proper-sized fuses are not
used.
Where electricity causes
injury or fire, don’t blame the
electricity; blame the person wh.i
forgot, overlooked or failed to
heed a significant warning.
Electricity provides many com
forts and conveniences. Thanks
partly to its pow?r, former luxu
ries are now necessities. In or
der to continue enjoying these
benefits heed all warnings and
observe all precautions.
Let
smoke curl from the chimney of
your home rather than from be
tween your walls. By being
careless, you may find electricity
lighting up your eyes and ears
instead of your tools and appli
ances—which would be a painful
and not too efficient result!
Treat electricity with respect—
it is an excellent servant but a
totally heartless master. Always
remember that electricity can't
think—but you can!

Serafin, local seal sale chairman.
The need for support of the pro

the fact that the recent chest x-
ray survey discovered cas?s that
need care.
Mrs. Serafin also said that due
to many address changes, many
stamps had not been delivered
this year. Also, addresses werd
not available for new people in
the communitx and any of tho»»
