Economist Says To Shop
Ads For Food Items
Need help in keeping that
food budget in line? If so,
here are a few suggestions
from Velma Seat, Extension
Food Marketing Specialist,
Oregon State University.
Get the habit of shopping
your newspaper’s supermarket
ad for all it’s worth, for this
is one of the greatest time
and moneysavers.
Find out
what meats, fresh produce, fro
zen foods, and staples are on
special, then work them into
your week’s meals.
Before you start out, plan
your menus completely enough
to guide you in making up a
shopping list.
Take time to read labels
and compare brands, grades
and sizes, for here are the
keys to many savings. For
example, house or regional br
ands often cost less than nat
ionally advertised brands.
Compare the prices of meats
and poultry with the number of
■servings you'll get from each
pound. A rule of thumb: Figure
on four servings from a pound
of boneless meat, two servings
from a pound with bone in, and
just one serving from a very
bony cut such as spareribs.
Take advantage of the foods
that are seasonally plentiful.
For instance, PORK is plen
tiful and will continue to be
featured in the food ads. There

Gov. McCall A n no u nces
Veteran's
Counseling
Governor Tom McCall today hospital and dental care and
announced a statewide program
of one-day, one-stopcounseling
and information service centers
for all veterans, their depen
dents and survivors.
The first center will be in
the Salem Armory Auditorium
Thursday, January 28, from
10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Later ones
will be held in other population
centers of Oregon. The pro
grams will be coordinated by
the State Department of Vet
erans’ Affairs.
The governor said many vet
erans do not know of the be
nefits the State of Oregon and the
federal government have pro
vided for them and their fami
lies, and that these benefits are
available only upon application.
Purpose of the program, the
governor said, is to bring to
gether under one roof for an
entire day all agencies, both
governmental and private, that
offer benefits and services to
veterans and their families.
Governor
McCall said 26
agencies and organizations are
being asked to supply experts
to give information,counseling
and take applications for such
benefits and services as em
ployments, loans, GI education,
VA compensation, pensions,
The biggest problem faced
by the new Oregon Legislature--
and a problem which will di
rectly influence all of our de-
cisions--is the question of the
state’s finances.
It would be an understatement
to say that Oregon will be facing
a grave fiscal crisis in the
coming two years. This was
stressed eloquently by Gov.
Tom McCall in his legislative
message two weeks ago.
Any other Legislature in the
nation would probably handle
this problem by increasing taxes
to meet the demand of state
agencies and departments.
However, I feel that this option
is not available to the Oregon
Legislature. I strongly believe
that any type of measure de
signed to increase taxes--re-
gardless of the amount or the
reason—would be soundly de
feated by the people of Oregon.
This has been demonstrated
by recent bond, budget and dis
trict election defeats, by the
sales tax vote, by the defeat
twice during the past 10 years
of income tax increase mea
sures, and by the one-sided
defeat of statewide ballot issues
which were interpreted by the
voters as revenue-producing
measures.
Rather than attempt to accuse
Oregonians of being stingy or
short-sighted, I believe it is
incumbent upon the Legislature
to recognize why the voter feels
the way he does, and to attempt
to reflect his viewpoints in our
deliberations.
Consider the average Ore
gonian, if there is indeed such
a person.
He knows that 37
cents of each dollar he earns
goes to pay the cost of govern
ment at all levels. He knows
that two and one-half hours of
each eight-hour work day are
contributed to government. Last
year, he worked from Jan. 1 to
May 9 simply to pay his tax
bill. On May 10, he went to
work for himself and his fa
mily.
With this in mind, the Legis
ment of Revenue, Oregon Bar lature is faced with the alter
Association, State Game Com native of a vigorous budget
mission, Motor Vehicles Di cutting program, probably even
vision, Oregon National Guard, surpassing our efforts of two
Army, Navy, Air Force and years ago when we slashed $75
Marine Corps Reserves, Amer million from proposed state
ican Red Cross, veterans’ or budgets.
To accomplish this, it will be
ganizations and county service
necessary to be highly selec
officers.

tive in giving approval to new
programs, and to limit costs
wherever possible in existing
programs.
We must establish a delicate
budgetary balance, because we
must guarantee that no worth
while programs are emascula
ted and that no demonstrated
needs are ur.met.
I feel that the Legislature
can meet the needs of the state
government without theneedfor
additional taxation. In fact, I
believe we can do this while
at the same time identifying
additional state revenues which
can be applied to property tax
relief and to additional state
support for local education.
Republicans in the House have
already endorsed proposals to
freeze property taxes for senior
citizens, and to increase state
support to local education by
$33 million.
I am confident that we can
accomplish these goals—and
perhaps others—within the ex
isting revenue structure. This
is where our emphasis will be
placed during the coming weeks
as the Governor’s budget begins
its shakedown cruise through
the 1971 Legislature.
