Normal Retail
Buying fold
A return to normal buying
habits in retail stores was report
ed here Wednesday by Frank
Davidson, manager of the Salem
Montgomery Ward store, who said
extreme ups and downs of recent
weeks have leveled out
The unseasonable variation was
credited to rumors of restrictions
on installment buying and excise
taxes and to actual enforcement
of the measures.
Davidson said, "Installment buy
ing regulations help to hold down
purchases of merchandise made
up of materials needed for na
tional defense. And excise taxes
help to raise the money we needed
for the national defense program.
We must all recognize the im
portance of both of these measures.
But neither of these measures is
as drastic as had been expected."

Minerals Seen
Cause of War
Declaring that in his belief raw
materials are probably the most
important cause of war and that
if Germany does not secure oil
the present conflict will be over
by next summer, Warren Smith,
professor of geology at the Uni
versity of Oregon, summed up the
part strategic minerals play in the
world situation when he spoke
before the Rotary club here Wed
nesday, Great Britain and the United
States control 70 per cent of the
world's supply of these materials,
Smith pointed out. Since 1900
more 'minerals have been used
than in all previous history and
the tempo is ever Increasing.'
To e at a b 1 1 sh universal peace
after the war the scientific brains
of the world should be pooled to
see that minerals are so distributed
that nations will not have to steal
for them, Smith concluded.
Special music for the luncheon
was provided by Kathleen Broer,
Mrs. James Stone, and Mary East
accompanied by Mrs. W. H. East.
