NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, THURS., OCTOBER 14, 1937 I Bent Beaver Board Aids Builder of Play Room STATE CAPITOL NEWS A. L. LINDBECK State Capitol News Bureau SALEM. ORE.—A special legisla tive session this winter is not en tirely without the bounds of prob ability. If Oovemor Martin is per suaded to convene the lawmakers In extraordinary session* liovfcu r it will not be on the strength of de mands being put forth by Town- sendites for more liberal old age pensions. Such a demand, in itself could be expected to roll off the governor's shoulders much as water does off the back of a duck. But there are other considerations which might prompt the governor to act. Several counties are known to favor some action looking to the unearth ing of new revenues with which to finance the relief load. Multnomah county is especially hard pressed to meet the demands on its exchequer by those in need, and would wel come any aid that a legislative ses sion might be expected to produce. However, one thing may be taken for granted. The governor is not going to convene the lawmakers un less and until some one comes for ward with a reasonable suggestion for raising additional revenues. In that connection it might be sug gested that the interim committee on state revenues created by the last session is now busily at work on this very problem. A survey of taxes levied by ether states is being made and it is hoped' that when this oemmission meets again, in Decem ber, there will be some definite sug- getsions to be made looking to a sol ution of the state’s money problem. Just what this solution might be not even the members of the rev enue committee themselves are as yet willing to intimate. But they have indicated that real progress is being made in their study. If they do succeed in pulling a financial rabbitt out of the hat, one that will provide additional revenues with out adding to the load already Car rie by real estate, it would not be at all surprising if Governor Martin should convene the lawmakers for the purpose of referring a new rev enue measure to the people. —L— Chios. H. Gram, state labor com missioner, has called a meeting of beauty parlor operators and beauty college operators for Portland on October 19 to discuss hours of em ployment and wages. The operators have filed complaint against the 44- hour week imposed by the State Welfare commission which they claim to to be impractical. — L— One out of every five persons kill ed intraffic accidents, is a child of school age according to Secretary of State Snell who urges greater care on the part of drivers now that schools are again in session. Snell calls attention to the provision in the the traffic laws requiring mot orists to give right-of-way to pedes trians in a crosswalk. —L— High school principals from all sections of Oregon are meeting in Salem this week (Wednesday and Thursday» fqr the annual confer ence. Subjects under discussion in clude experimental schools, visual aids in instruction and the plaoe of an honor society in high schools. Speakers on the two day program Include Governor Martin and Secre tary of State Snell, both members of the State Board of Education; Rex Putnam, superintendent of public instruction, and Thomas R. Fowler, president of the Oregon High School Principals' association. —L— The supreme court's opinion in the case of involving salary in creases for Portland school teachers is of inteerst to every city and coun ty as well as every school district in the state. In the opinion the high court held that the Portland school district could not grant salary in creases to its teach-rs in excess of the budget estimate. The opinion also held that the ruling applied with equal force to city and coun ty government. While the learned Justices held that monies might be temporarily transffrred from one fund to another they also pointed out that these ''loans'- must be re paid to their rightful funds before th: end of the fiscal year. —L— Governor Martin struck out at critics of his stand on Bonneville power again this week. "Self seeking politicians and dem agogues have tried to becloud the Bonneville ill use for their own ends and at the expense of the people." the governor declared in what is in terpreted here a reply to Howard Latcurette, Democratic national committeeman who last week charged the governor with attempt ing to find a place for himself in the Roosevelt band wagon under false pretenses. "Every cheap trick in the bag of rabble rousers has been used but I am convinced that the people of this state will not be hoodwinked," the governor continued. "In this modern day and age our people will be prone to accept with greater con fidence and assurance the unbiased and sound calculations of trained engineers rather than the mouth- ings of pundits whose specialty is in using words to ocnceal rather than reveal. —L— Although LeRoy Herschel Mc Carty, convicted slayer of a Port land service statiop employee, is under sentence of death Warden Lewis of the state prison is not go ing to be in any hurry about the construction of the recently author ized lethal gas chamber. The warden recalls that it has been nearly six years since a murderer paid the supreme penalty for liis crime in this state and that in the interim two convicted slayers have been snatched from the gallows by eleventh hour commutations of their sentences to life imprisonment. The warden has been investigating gas chambers in use in other states and is of the opinion that Oregon's chamber can be constructed in less than a month if and when the need fer one is definitely established. —L— Voters of Oregon wil lbe asked to support a measure creating a sani tary board for the purpose of clear ing streams of pollution. The pro posed measure is being sponsored by the Oregon Stream Purification League of which State Treasurer Holman is president and Frank Franciscovich, president of the state senate is vice president. —L— Neither Governor Martin nor Ralph Moody, assistant attorney general, are exhibiting any consider able concern over the »548,000 suit filed against them by Earl H. Fehl, form-r county judge of Jackson ccunty. The governor points out that in refusing to liberate Fehl from state prison where he was serving a term fer complicity in the Jackson county ballot thefts he was only acting on advice cf the at torney general, whereas Moody in sisted that the advice given to the governor was absolutely sound. —L— James H. Hazlett, state corpora tion commissioner, this week broad cast a warning against the purchase of oil and gas leases. Companies of ferings such leases for sale in Ore gon operating without the required permit, Hazlett says. His office has evidence that thousansd of dollars are ueing Invested in these leases.

College Member Participant One other member of the Malheur County Baby Beef Club, Wililam Peutz, Jr., who is now attending the Oregon State College, came up from Corvallis and participated in the en tertainment. FRESH, RIPE TOMATOES OFTEN POSSIBLE LONG AFTER FROST Experienced Oregon gardeners are often able to enjoy fresh ripe to matoes of their own raising for sev eral weeks after the coming of the first killing frosts, says A. G. B. Bouquet, professor of vegetable crops at Oregon State college. Proper Storage Temperature Neessary The secret lies in the fact that there are always many fruits left on the vines in the late fall that are mature but have not colored up, and that these, if carefully picked be fore frost and stored at proper tem peratures will keep fpr weeks and will ripen to a full red color, he says. Tomatoes to be stored for future ripening need to be at least at the turning stage, beginning to show a slight amount of color, either pink or yellow when picked from the vines. Professor Bouquet explains. If entirely green, both inside and out, they are immature and cannot be expected to ripen later off the vines. All tomatoes fer storage must be handled carefully, without brusing, of course, and the fruit itself must be sound The best temperature for storing those that are to be kept f:r several weeks is from 50 to 55 de grees Pahrenheit. Bouquet says. The ripening ts slow at this temperature, but there is no decay or breakdown Tomatoes that are chilled down to 36 to 40 degrees may be expected to break down rather readily when brought to higher temperatures. Quick Ripening Prooeedure If it is desired to rip n up some fruits more quckly, he says, they can be taken from the storage place and put in the kitchen cr some other fairly warm place wh«e coloring and ripening will be hastened. At 65 degress, tomatoes Just beginning to show yellow color will have a goed red color in about eight days, and if the fruits are picked in the pink stage they will color even more quickly. While seme people pull up their tomato vines before frost and hang them up in the bam or some other cool place to allow the fruits to ripen. Professor Bouquet feels that this takes up an unnecessary amount of space, whereas if the mature fruits are picked from the vlnea and prop erly stored they will ripen just as My Favorite Recipes | — Francet Lee Barton tayt: _ J -1 book of good things to I N eat, my 1 note wrote opposite this recipe .

LOWER TURKEY NUMBERS CONFIRM PAST FORECAST A prediction made in the March 15 number of the Agricultural Situa- tiort and Outlook Report issued by L. R. Breithaupht, extension econ omist at Oregon State college, that fewer turkeys would be raised in 1937 than in 1936 is confirmed in government reports contained in the latest report just issued. 10 Per Cent Reduction The 1937 turkey report of the gov ernment indicates a reduction of approximately 10 per cent in the number of turkeys on hand in the whole country, compared with a year ago. The decrease in the Pac ific coast states was estimated at 6 per cent, and in the Rocky moun tain states at 23 per cent. The crop is expected to be more nearly the size of those in 1933 and 1934 than either the small crop of 1935 or the large crop of 1936. World's gone round—the cor T HE rect use of curves is an essential of smart, modern design in con struction and display. Beaver board, formerly available only in flat sheets, Is now supplied in curves (bent boards) fabricated by an exclusive process. Not only does beaver board come in curves, but it Is also made with "built in" colors—reversible colors—a differ ent color on each side of the board. The smart, modern play room il lustrated above shows what can be done by the use of these new bea ver board products. The factory processed curved and Earlier Market Indications are that the markets will be somewhat earlier than last year. Turkeys are a national crop, being rais:d in every state in the Union, while heavy commercial pro duction is found in the north, east, south and far west. CITIES LEAGUE GETS FUND TO EXPAND WORK University of Oregon, Eugene, October 13—Expansion of the ser vices o fthe League of Oregon Cities, made possible by a grant of several hundred dollars from the American Municipal Association was announc ed here by Herman Kehrli, execu tive secretary of the league and dir ector of the University of Oregon bureau of municipal research.

The curve Is built directly Into this board at the factory and four sizes ranging from 6" to 24" in diameter give sufficient choice to permit of almost any arc. Thus, as the reproduction shows, outside and inside corners can be turned without difficulty and right angles eliminated.
