A. Grelle, chairman of the Milk Control Board, asking that the Milk Control Act be continued in force in Malheur county. This recommendation came as the result of a meeting held in Ontario Monday night at which official committees from Ontario and Nys sa were present, the one from Vale not taking part inasmuch as that city had not met to discuss the question. This Vale meeting was held Tuesday night. While the committee favored the retention of the Milk Control Act in the county, they were at the same time also in favor of a downward revision of prices from the present prices of milk. Dairymen in Nyssa have favored a 10-cent price on single quarts of milk, with 35 cents being charged for four quarts. The price on cream should be lowered too, according to the dairymen. This price should be 15 cents for a half pint instead of 18 cents as now charged, the dairy men agree. Plans For Music Week Complete Clean Up Week Set By Club Discuss O.C.F. Endorses Will Spring Show Third Term 4-H The various 4-H club activities to be carried on at the 4-H Spring Census Taking Show will be the main topics for Near Completion discussion at the regular monthly meeting of the Malheur 4-H Leaders Council to be held at the high school building in Ontario on Sat urday, May 4, at 2:00 p, m. As this is the first year that a home economics judging contest for the girls has been included in the activities connected with exhibiting their work, ths activity will be de- serbed quite :ully at the council meeting so that all leaders may be familiar with the procedure, and may be in a position to instruct their club men: hers. Classes of Troth clothing and cooking will be available, and the leaders themselves will actually go through the steps of competing in a judgin contest. Miss June Clark, home economics instructor at the Adrian High school, will make the official placings of the various classes and explain her reasons to the leaders. The methods of conducting the style revue, which gives the girls in the clothing projects a chance to model their garments they have made, will be explained by Mrs. E. C. Allstrom of Vale, who is in charge of this contest at the Spring Show. Mrs. Allstrom will have some of the older girls demonstrate for the leaders the proper way of mod eling their dresses, and how the club members may best show off the garments they have made. Instructions will be given the leaders of home economics clubs in preparing and arranging the ex hibits of their club for putting them on display. FREE DELIVERY ON EXPRESS Nyssa is now on the free delivery and pickup list of the Railway Ex press. and residents in the future may have express packages picked up at their home by calling the Union Pacific depot, according to E.
