Since its organization, member ship has been restricted to com mercial potato growers with as sociate membership only, granted to processors and other allied potato industry. However, with the tremendous expansion of pro cessors, the steering and execu tive committees of the council recommended a change in by laws, at the annual meeting, to give processors full membership. Voting procedures still need to be worked out. Many challenges will face Pres ident Hirai in the coming year, and among them will be the pro motion of potatoes. Long recog nized by nutrition specialists, the tubers are high in protein value, low in calories and not the fat producing food as erroneously thought by many people. Full-Scale Advertising Planned Hirai and his steering commit tee are considering an imposing promotional program, discussed at the annual meeting. The program would include television spots, newspaper advertisements, full- page color ads in magazines and Sunday supplements, as well as institutional advertising in medi cal journals and restaurant pub lications. This program would bring to the public’s attention the nutri tional advantages, non-fattening features and enjoyment of pota toes in the family diet. The National Potato council passed 16 resolutions during the Phoenix meetings, including the upgrading of size and grade stan-4‘ dards of potatoes sold on the fresh market. il will not be able very potential ad oring to blanket d week with 4300 mestly ask that a* le, copy be sent in ion Thursday, Fri- wday of this week, enable th* staff to dention to the ad- dividual planning PT for alteration*. ? cost will be th* • regular edition, he local merchant*' »mmittee.

As a result some perishable crops were harvested. The state farm organization proved a resolution to hire best available labor attorney who would be on call to help and ad vise any county in which a farm labor dispute arose. The organization also resolved to support a unique Oregon law which limits the right to picket perishable crop harvest to per sons employed at the field at least six days. The law, the only one of its kind in the nation, was en acted in 1963 and does not affect the right to strike against a grow er. Members were also warned that government employment agencies will not supply workers to an area where a labor dispute is in progress. The state-wide organization ap proved a program aimed at im proving relations between grow ers and laborers for better job security, training and improved earnings, better housing, sanita tion and general welfare projects. ------------------- — Farm Rureau Says Labor Unions Due Plan Holiday Display Scouts and vacation camping for Members of ANK Garden club Boy Scouts will be on To Affect Prices stage their list of Scouting events De will annual Christmas display Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 10-11 in the basement of Nyssa Methodist church.

Cub Scouts in their packs and dens will carry out the theme, “Yuletide Everywhere,” and Boy Scouts in their troops will learn skills for "Winter Camping.” “In this season of good will, we have a good opportunity to make the meaning of the Cub Scout Promise, the Boy Scout Oath and the other ideals of Scouting effective in the life of each scout,” Long said. “While Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts learn new skills, they have the oppor tunity to be more helpful to lead ers, parents, fellow scouts and those who are less fortunate.” Among the Cub Scout activities will be seasonal skits, caroling, winter activities, making of gifts and holiday decorations, service projects and participation in the World Friendship Fund, Long said.
