Lack of sugar is certain to affect home canning, a vital war-time food project. This distressing Situation no doubt could have been prevented had official Washington been sympathetic toward the western sugar beet industry. Despite all that sugar beets mean to the west, the industry has been an unwanted step-child o f the “ planners” , who have argued these many years that we should buy our sweets in Cuba, the Philippines and elsewhere in order to boost overseas trade and raise living stand ards there. Just another case of being a world wide good neighbor and penalizing the home folks. Beet growers in this area well remember what scant support the crop received from govern ment agencies as recently as 1943, long after the Phipippines were lost. They just couldn’t change their thinking habits of long standing. This year, with a critical shortage of sugar fac ing the nation, the government put some pusn and encouragement behind the sugar industry to help promote the growing o f beets. But they were far too late, for the roots of the present sugar shortage extend back several years. If the supply o f domestic sugar is to improve in 1946, the foundation for greater production must be laid now. Long ago a wise man, none other than Thom as Jefferson, sagely remarked: “ If we were told from Washington when to sow and when to leap, we would soon want bread.” Lincoln Heights Several Lincoln residents att ended funeral service« for William McElroy, Sr., Tuesday in the P et erson chapel in Ontario. Inter ment was in the Ontario cemetery. Rev. Mark B. Lloyd, pastor o f the Methodist church, and Rev. Bert Daniels, pastor of the Nazarene church, both o f Ontario, officiated. Mr. McElroy was born in Wills county. Illinois October 21, 1872 and moved to Coming, Iowa while still a small boy. He was married to Elizabeth B. Knoll of Ross, Iowa in 1905. They lived at Coming for three years and then went to Den iton. Montana, where they farmed for 30 years. They moved to Oregon In 1936 and have resided here since. His survivors are his widow; his son. William K. Me Elroy, quarter master, first class, U. S. navy, some where on a troop transport in the Pacific; a brother George of C om ing, and three sisters, Mrs. Mary West o f Corning, Mrs. Bell Car gill of Kimball.
