If this column is more confusing than usual there are some good reasons. After listening to some of the hearings by the Foreign Relations Committee on the Vietnam war and whether or not it should be escalated by sending more American troops and bombing areas that have been “Off-bounds” in North Vietnam, we wonder who would not be confused. The President once said he would never send American boys to fight an Asian land war. But he has-at least 500,000 of them, and with the number bound to increase if we do not withdraw soon, some legislators are showing concern for a war that many say we can never win. Many of these same legislators gave him blanket authority tp do what he thought necessary, following the attack on our ships in the Bay of Tonkin affair. They now want congress to be consulted before any large increases in manpower and materials are used. The older we get the more we are inclined to worry! Not necessarily about personal problems, but oft- n about things that may never come to pass. Or if they do at a time when we will likely be gone and un able to see them happen. We can, and do, worry about rising taxes, high interest rates, the wobbling dollar in flation, grow ing red tape in state and federal governments -- and mostly the Big War in Asia gobbling up the lives of our American boys and the civil ians of both North and South Vietnam. Yet, America, perhaps be cause it hasn’t hit us personally, is enthusiastic, economically. More than 1,500 new businesses are being launched in the U.S. every day. About half will be out of operation within 18 months. But it indicates that those doing the launching think this is still the "Land of Op portunity”. • • • gourmets twit the publisher had to be right -- our advertisers are our "Bread and Butter”! • • • Rep. Wm. H. Harrison (R- Wyo.) pointed out that while our country has only 6 per cent of the world’s population it produces one-third of the goods and services. He says this proves that the way to re duce poverty is not by redis tributing wealth, but by creating it. THE QUALITY IS THE RESULT OF CARE! WE TAKE PRIDE IN LOOKING AFTER YOUR CLOTHES.

State-federal shipping point inspectors checked 1,215 car lots for diversion, while they inspected 2,112 carlots for fresh market and 4,330 tons for processing. All of the po tatoes inspected for processing were from Malheur County. Klamath County was the big gest shipper of potatoes both for fresh market and under the diversion program, with 1,397 carlots going to fresh market and 850 for diversion. The Red mond area had 623 cars for fresh market and 361 cars for diversion.

Shipping point inspections for February covered a total of 3,877 cars of produce for fresh market. Potatoes accounted for over half of these inspections and onions were second with a total of 1,055 cars. Malheur County shipped 756 cars and 227 cars were from the Salem area. The remainder were from Portland and Medford. Other inspections for the month covered 160 cars of apples, seven cars of filberts, 466 cars pears, six cars wal nuts and 71 cars brine cherries. Owyhee Water (Continued From Page One) feet. Due Io water conditions at the present time no excess water is planned to be sold. The decisions were reached in a joint meeting of the North and South Boards of Control at Nyssa Tuesday night. While there is more water in the reservoir at this time than one year ago snow pack and water content in the watershed is way lower than the 15 year average. BIRTH RATES WATER SHORTAGE (Continued From Page One) (Continued From Page Line) dominated the scene in the late 1910’s .ind MU ly 1950’s. More recently, it is the teen age group which came to the center of the stage. We love our teenagers, but we may sometimes wish they didn't absorb so much of the nation’s attention. The fundamental problem is that there are now so many of them, and they can hardly be blamed for that. Wei), what will the setting for the next act look like? If the fall in the birth rate continues--or even if it merely is not re versed -- the background will be different from the present one. A decade from now the numerous teenager s will be come the numerous 20-to-30- years-olds. And the not-so- numerous infants of today will become the not-so-numerous adolescents of 1978. That much is clearly fore seeable. As for how many very young children there will be around 10 years hence, that depends on factors we hesitate to predict. But long-term planners had better take the official projections -- which foresee a U.S. population in excess of 250 million by 1980 -- with a sizable gram of salt. (Nat'l. Ass’n. Manufacturers) average (1948 - 1962) and are made with the important assumption that near-average conditions of temperature and precipitation will prevail for the next five months: Jordan Creek: March-July, 44 Thousands of Acre Feet, 38 percent average.

Statewide, severe drought conditions are forecast throughout most of Oregon, for the spring and summer of 1968, with extensive repercussions probable in dry-farming, irri gation, grazing and fire control. About two-thirds of Oregon’s irrigated lands, with no access to stored water, will have from one-third to two-thirds less water than usual The remaining irrigated acres, served wholly or in part from stored water, will have nearly adequate water supplies if water users prac tice efficient water manage ment. The next report on water supply conditions in Oregon will be issued about April 8, 1968. DRY CLEANING SPECIAL LOOKING FOR GASOLINE & DIESEL?
