In 1959 a 137-acre tract was purchased by the local corpora tion from Mrs. Elizalx-th Stras- baugh and stock sold in 1960 to meet the purchase price and pay delinquent taxes on th<- land. The tract is about H4 miles north of Nyssa between Third street and the main line of the Union Pacific railroad. In I960 the land was plotted, a topogra phical map made so drainage could be affected and a quarter mile fill made into the tract for laying a spur line from the Union Pacific main line. Near the same time a half-mile stretch of roadway was excavated into the tract from the county road on the north, and 40 to 50 acres were cleared of brush and some leveling done. Stock was issued to pay for services rendered on the tract and in setting up the corporation. The originators of the idea felt that there would be a call for locations sometime and they would be available when needed. Some of ficers have moved from town since the incorporation and a new board will be elected in the near future.

A note was received at the Journal office Monday from Mr. and Mrs. K. 1. Peterson who had been visiting relatives in Stam ford, Neb. They stated that they would leave the first part of this week for their home in Adrian and ex- pressed appreciation to the Jour nal staff for having mailed their copies of the publication to them in Nebraska. For years, the secret behind the famous smoothness of Scotch and Canadian whiskies is the tact that they are actually blends of several different types of Scotch and Canadian whiskies. Most Rums and Brandies are blends too, of several different types of these well- known liquors. Now, Mr. Boston actually improves on the natural rich flavor of good Kentucky Whiskey by selecting several of the best and blending them together with choice grain neutral spirits. Result: smooth flavor balance and mildness that straight Kentucky just can't match.

How much does it cost to feed your family? You can compare your weekly food bill and esti mated average expenditures for Western families with the aid of a recently revised circular pub lished by Oregon State univer sity Cooperative Extension ser vice. The circular, written by Velma Seat, OSU extension food market ing specialist, provides estimated costs of one week’s food for indi viduals in a family of four, based on low-cost, moderate and gener ous plans. Low-cost diet was estimated on the basis of a family income of $2,000 to $4,000; the moderate diet on an income of $4,000 to $6,000 and generous, $6,000 and up. Individual weekly food costs ranged from a low of $3.30 per week, for a child less than one- year-old on a moderate food plan, to more than $10 per week for men and women in their 20’s and 30’s. The circular was revised to re flect food prices as of January 1965. Single copies of Extension Cir- cular 686, "Your Weekly Food Bill,’’ may be obtained free from the Bulletin Clerk, Department of Printing, Oregon State Univer sity, Corvallis. By Mr».
