Leisure has lessened this responsibility and this coupled with the fact th a t we have accepted largely new theories on child psychology, which has done away with the old fashioned ideas of punish ment. Logically the new ideas were accepted because ap p a re n t ly they pointed the wav of the least resistance. Now we have to ileal with the problems they created.

TWO THINGS WE LACK Two questions have been asked frequently. W hy c a n ’t a waste paper depot he established here and why c a n ’t , “ we make a s ta rt on a hlixid h a n k ? ’’ A pparently there is a grow ing short- age of paper and the situation is likely to become critical, hut until those who plan the various salvage cam paigns find a meth- od of g athering waste papers in the sm aller com m unities of the nation, then- isn ’t much we can do about it. From what we are able to learn of the paper situation there is absolutely no m arket fo r waste paper here and until some way is found to m ake it profitable lo r some individuals to handle the paper, which is usually the ju n k dealers, there is no use in saving paper. In an earlier cam paign, several hundred pounds of paper was stored in the arm ory for six or eight months. It stayed there until ar- rangem ents were made to move it to Eugene. In the m atte r of establishing a blood hank, it takes sjiecial equipm ent to handle this type of work. Lots of people would be w illing to donate to this cause hut do not feel th at they have the gasoline to drive to the nearest blood hank, which is Eugene and this hank we are told is for the civilian needs, not those of the soldiers. THE CORN SITUATION How th a t eggs have dropped about tw enty cents per dozen in the past two weeks, h ere's some interesting highlights taken Irom a recent issue of the Wall S treet Jo u rn a l on why feed prices continue to rise at the expettse of livestock: * “ A buyer in Illinois deliberately overestim ated a erib of corn, then paid the legal ceiling price, based on this over-esti m a te ” . I11 Wisconsin. the newest dodge is to buy corn in the shock, at. $1.50 per shock, and agree with the farm er that he may make small shocks, which w on’t shuck out a bushel per shock ” , “ In Iowa, the buyer pays legal price for corn to the farm er, then pays a large ‘shelling and hauling fee ’ to the farm ers son” . ‘‘From N ebraska, a story th at the buyer pays ceiling price, then hands the farm er a neat bonus in cash, on the side.” But here is the real pay-off: “ At Falls City. N ebraska, the ceiling price, based on Kansas City, LESS freight. LESS lc is ibd/^e. At Reserve, Kansas, ju st five miles across the state line, the ceiling price, based on Kansas t'ity PLUS freight is $1.1 11/^.
