Oregon employers who are violat­
ing the minimum wage for women
as fixed by the State W elfare Com-
missi;n, will face prosecution, Chas.
H. Gram, state labor commissioner
warned this week. Gram declared
that reports reaching his office in­
dicate a "shameful exploitation of
women and children in some indus­
tries."
Since the order reducing
working hours for women In Oregon
from 44 to 40 went into effect on
September 16, Gram said, many em­
ployers had reduced the pay c f their
women employees proportionately in
violation of the intent of the mini­
mum w ag« and hour regulation.

Citizens of Oregon are particular­
ly blessed, Governor Martin declared
in his annual Thanksgiving procla­
mation this week. "Here in this
beautiful state of ours we can find
inspiration at every hand frcm our
magnificent mountains, gem-like
lakes, rugged coast lines and peace­
ful valleys,” the procamatlon points
out. “ Our future lies ahead of us,
our state is one c f untold possibili­
ties for development.”

Contract for the construction of a
laundry, heating plant and physic­
ians cottage at the eastern Oreg:n
tuberculosis hospital at The Dalles
was let by the board of control to
the firm o f Malarkey & Kalander
of Jortland. The firm's bid, the low­
est of seven entered, was for $158,-
800. The federal government will
contribute $52,000 toward the con-
tsruction program through
the
Public Works administration, this
being one of the last grants approv­
ed before the activity of the PW A

Drawing for low numbered auto­
mobile license plates c f the 1938 is­
sue will take place Frldiv. according
to announcement by Secretary of
State Snell. All Applications receiv­
ed up to that time will be Included
in the drawing, Snell said. Mailing
of the new plates, however, will not
start before December 12. The 1938
plates will be white with black let­
ters and numbers.

T iwnsend leaders in Oregon will
confine their activity in the coming
state campaign to a measure com­
mitting this state to support o f the
Townsend Natonal Recovery plan.
When Governor Martin two weeks
ago turned down the demand for a
special session of the legislature to
provide for a more adequate old age
pension it was indicated by Town­
send leaders that they would carry
their fight directly to the people
through an Initiative measure. This
week, however, these Townsend
leaders filed with Secertary of State
Snell a copy of a proposed measure
authorizing and directing the state
legislature to ask Congress to call
a national convention for the pur­
pose o f inserting the Townsend
amendment in the federal constitu­
t e n. In the opinion o f
attorneys
about the state house such a mea­
sure, even if adopted, would have
no legal effect Inasmuch as the leg­
islature is a law unto itself and not
subject to dictation from their con-
stitutents through the medium of
the initiative. Should the measure
receive a heavy vote, however, it
would unquestionably have a very
decided moral effect on the state’s
lawmakers as indicating the senti­
ment of the voters in support of the
Townsend program. The preliminary
petition as filed with the state de­
partment was signed by Arthur
Moore of Monmouth, Townsend
leader In the first district, and Glen
C. Wade o f Pendleton, Townsend
manager in the second district. The
absence of any signature from the
third district is regarded as highly
significant, especially In the face of
statements from John J. Jeffreys,

REM ODELINC
Steeled to Stay Put
There had been a violent wind
storm and two Jerry builders were
discussing its effects upon their
partly constructed houses. “ Mine
blew down,” said the first gloomily.
"I don’t see why yours didn’t.”
"Ah.” returned the other, "mine had
been papered.”
The average man about to build
himself a house doesn’t look to wall
paper to give him the margin of
safety he needs. He starts with the
idea of building just as solidly and
strongly as his pocketbook will per­
mit. In so doing he obeys an ancient
Impulse to make the home a strong­
hold for himself and hts. Modern
construction methods enable him to
do this without building massively,
or sacrificing anything of comfort,
convenience and healthfulness to
strength.
For Instance, webbed Iteel fram­
ing gives a house wall the rigidity,
strength and durability of steel
without greater weight or thickness
than wooden framing necessitates.
Steel joists, studs, rafters and other
framing members can be handled
like lumber— that Is, they can be
cut on the job and put together
there by welding. Also, all the fa­
miliar forms of inside and outside
wall treatment and floor treatment
can be easily employed with steel
framing.
warm-toned paint are Indicated for
the hall. Perhaps you need a glass
panel in the front door. An electric
celling light that will diffuse a soft
glow throughout the hall Is better
than the old-fashioned hanging
chandelier.' Wall lights may be
necessary also. In any event, the
front of the hall and the stairway
should be well illuminated.
Next, how about the floor? Does
it need renewing? A hardwood
floor, or linoleum In tile effect or
warm tones will add much to the
attractiveness of a hall. Perhaps
wainscoating with plywood or com­
position board would help the walls,
particularly If there Is much pass­
ing In the hall and the walls get
hard wear. Of course, the stairway
should be made as attractive as
possible with fresh varnish, paint
or cheerful carpeting. Often a hall
can be much Improved bV changing
an old fashioned doorway into the
living room to a wider archway.
If It is possible to have a clothes
closet in the hall, perhaps under
the stairway or at the back, that Is
desirable. Then whatever furniture
the hall will admit should be com­
fortable, and warmly upholstered,
painted or varnished. Flowers al­
ways help the note of cheerful wel­
come that should characterize the
hall.

House« Shouldn't Glare
It Is the age of color—and about
time, too. Looking back, we cannot
but wonder why, until so recently,
Americans should have been con­
tent with drabness in the Interior
and exterior decoration of their
homes. Too much repression, prob­
ably Anyhow, color is here and
we may hope it will stay for It un­
questionably adds to the cheerful­
ness of life. But It must be used In­
telligently or It may be worse than
none.
A Hall Should S ot "Walcoma"
In any house with a lower hall,
the visitor gets his first impression
o f the home from the hall. This
room, then, should be light, cheer­
ful. welcoming—not merely a place
to park robbers and wraps and to
get out of aa soon as possible.
Would a bit of modernising Improve
your hall?
First. It must be light. Light­
er light-reflecting.

The need for a central agency to
supervise the trading-in o f old
automobile tires by state agencies
was pointed out by State Treasurer
H dm an at the last meeting of the
board of control. The state, it was
brought out, spends approximately
$80,000 a year for automobile and
truck tires. Bids for supply the
state with its 1938 needs in the tire
line were approximately 20 per cent
higher than the prices prevailing
this year.

house Is too tall for Its width trim
colors should run horizontally. It It
Is too squat, trim colors should run
up and down. A dark upper story
above a light lower story helps re­
duce apparent height, also.
A house nestled among trees and
shrubbery looks better In white or
light colors, but a house without
such a setting looks better In
darker tones. Prevailing soil and
landscape tones suggest the use o f
harmonizing tones on houses. Fi­
nally a house should not contrast
glaringly with its neighbors. It may
hare individuality, but It should fit
Into the general color scheme of
Its street or district.
If you don't trust yourself very
far In the matter of color selection,
accept the advice of your architect
or consult with a competent painter
who Is up on color harmony.

A house with a steel frame: with
stone, brick or stucco outside walls;
with metal lath and plaster inside:
with permanent roofing, and with
rigid fireproof sub-floors, will stay
put in a storm, whether or not It
has been papered. And It will. In
addition, be fireproof, vermin-proof,
rot-proof, lightning-proof and sag-
proof. It can be Insulated as well as
any type of house, and It oilers less

forms. Steel framing is a modern
building development that helps us
to satisfy a desire, old as the race,
for strength and aafety In our

how capable she is of carrying out
her plan, she does appreciate any

OREGON COUNTIES TO
HAVE ’38 PO TATO GOALS
DOUGLAS PRODUCES
M OST
Sixteen Oregon counties have
been officially designated as com­
mercial potato areas for which po­
tato goals will be Included In the
1938 agricultural conservation pro­
gram, It Is announced by. N. C. Don-
adson, executive secretary of the
state committee.
Malheur County Has Goal
Establishment of potato goals In
these counties follows a recent poll
In which 82 per cent of the farmers
voting favored this action. The
counties for which these goals will
be establishel are Baker, Clackamas,
Columbia, Crook, Deschutes, Hood
River, Klamath. Lane. Linn, M al­
heur Multnomah, Union, Washing­
ton and Yamhill.

ROSEBURO— More fruit Is pro­
duced in Douglas county than any
any other county In Oregon, ac­
cording to County Agent J. Roland
Parker, with nearly 15,000 acres de­
voted to tree fruits, nuts and sm?U
fruits. The chief fruit Is prunes, the
dried crop averaging from 15 to 18
million pounds a year.
PO LK SCHEDULES
4-H CORN SHOW
Program is Voluntary
“ The new program incluling po­
tato goals for 1938 is entirely vol­
untary and should not be confused
with the old
potato control law,”
says Mr. Donaldson. “These potato
goals will be handled just the same
way as those for other soil depleting
crops under the conservation pro­
gram.
“ Although no state goal has been
set yet. the national goal is between
3,100.000 and 3,300,000 acres. This
compares with an average annual
acreage o f 3.346,000 acres during the I
past 10 years. So while this will not
materially reduce potato acreage. It
is believed that it will help stabilize
this acreage.”
Goals will be established only on
commercial potato farms which
grow 3 acres or more o f potatoes and
which are located In the counties
given above. In the early producing
areas, 6 cents per bushel will be
paid on the normal yield o f each
acre in a farm ’s potato goal. In the
late producing areas. 4 cents
per
bushel will be paid.
As under all soil-depleting crop
goals In the ’38 program, payments
will be reduced If the goals are ex­
ceeded.

of encouraging the production of
