Price Co ntrol Plainer Living Tew Patterns Shape Lives In Wartime Essential Clothing, Fooil Still to Be Available By CLAUDE A. JAGGER Life under rigid price controls e-f wartime goes on with little visible change at first, then takes an new . and strange patterns. Complete freezing of what you pay at the store, what you pay jrour landlord and, for most peo ple a virtual freezing of what you let in your pay check, is Jeading America into a total war economy calling for drastic changes in our ways of thought, and our ways of doing things. Beginning . this month, Price Administrator Leon Henderson is putting a lid on the price of most of the things yOu buy, and on rents landlords may charge in two . thirds of the nation, with notice to the rest that no unjustified hikes will be tolerated. President Roosevelt has called for a "stabilization" of wages with "due consideration to inequi ties and elimination of sub-stand ards of living." As a general prop oeitioh, he says, "you will have to forego higher wages for your par ticular job for the duration of the war." For the business man, the pres ident says "profits must be taxed to the utmost limit consistent with continued production," and ex presses the opinion no one in wartime should have an income alter payment or taxes, or over $25,000 a year. To understand what these di rectives mean, they must be view ed in the light of the fact that there is going to be much less to buy. No lack of essential food and clothing, but we will learn to get along on the civilian front without a good many things the boys in service are also giving up for the duration. We will repair and mend what we have, make the old things do. Features SEC. 2 PAGE 4 Sunday Morning, May 24. 1942 I --..

Salem-Corvallis-Dallas Camp A Simpler Life It is to be a plainer and simpler life, so far as material things are concerned. If the British experi ence is a good guide, it may well be a healthier life. New interest in community affairs, things clos er home, is already developing. Various civilian defense activities 8 re bringing neighbors together, making them friendlier. But for many, the problem of handling a job, or a business, has become more complicated. Many peacetime manufacturing plants are closing. Keeping many small retail businesses going, with the variety of merchandise shrinking and less flexibility in pricing, be comes a problem. In England, where the impact of war has been much more severe, thousands have closed. There are scarcities of many kinds of workers. A general labor shortage is anticipated in coming 1 months, requiring many more jobs for women in formerly masculine callings. We learn day by day that there is no easy way to wage total war. As President Roosevelt has told us, "the price for civilization must be paid in hard work and sorrow and blood." Canada's Example How can such a stupendously complex job of control and regu lation be made to work? It won't be easy. But Canada inaugurated an over-all price-wage control last December 1, and Dominion . leaders generally say it works. Of course, Canada has less than one- tentn our population. But it may wall prove to have been a good testing ground for what we are undertaking. From the outbreak of war in Europe, until last November, cost of living in the Dominion rose about 15 per cent. Since Decem ber 1, it has held steady, averag ing a trifle under November, Mere, cost 01 living is also up about 15 per cent since August, 139. Early, when Canada -was at war and we were a neutral, it rose faster ' there. Lately, it has been going up about 1 per cent a month in America in what looked like the beginnings of a spiral that unchecked would be much worse than in World war I, when prices doubled. It was time to act. What of bootlegging and "black bourses?" Will manufacturers and distri butors find profit margins so nar row they will close down? America is undertaking its mightiest Job of economic inte gration and eontrol In history. . Grave complications will arise - and have to be dealt with as we 8 along.

Timely Garden Talk By ULUE "L MADSEN - Wise or Otherwise By ETHAN GRANT Salem Camp Fire Girls9 Outing To Open June 28 at Kilowan The annual summer camp activities of the Salem Camp Fire Girls will get under way June 28 this year when Camp Kilowan, near Falls City, opens the first of three camp sessions, it was announced Saturday by Merrill Ohling, camp chairman : I for Salem. Bookmen Venture Opinions By the Staff, Salem Public Library The camp is operated jointly by Salem, Corvallis and Dallas with Camp Fire Girls from the three cities participating. The summer outing will be in three sessions, the first a one-week pe riod, the second a two week pe- What the war has done to per fumery does not seem an import ant issue now but it is being asked front time to time, and recentlyHi had a couple of requests concern ing this: can perfumery garden ing be carried on successfully here? Can an amateur or novice make perfume? Are all roses good for perfume and so on? I believe that the perfumery industry in Am erica did flour ish to some ex tent prior to the war, although it unu Madscn seems that the American perfumes were never as fine as those im ported. But many of our local perfumes are made from oils grown and extracted in Europe. The production of perfumery oils may be conducted on farms or even on a smaller scale by women who do not find the process te dious. . Books telling of perfume pro duction include "Perfumes and Their Preparation" by Askinson; "Odorographia" by Sawers; Pi- esse's "Art of Perfumery." It might be well to remember that 3000 pounds of fresh rose petals are needed for one pound of oil which is valued, I believe, at something less than $200. E. S. Steele, an old authority on perfumery gardening tells us that the type of roses best suited for perfume purposes is semi-double with large, thick petals that can easily be collected, rather than the more showy varieties with full disks of shorter petals so crowded that they hide the pistils. Until the European war broke out again, the supply of the rose oils for European and American markets was derived chiefly from Turkey and the perfumery region of southern France. The attar or oil of roses was produced chiefly in Bulgaria and from parts of other Balkan states as well as in Asiatic Turkey, principally from the damask rose. A small white flowered rose was also used to quite an extent. In France the best rose per fumes were extracted from the Provence rose, a hybrid of Rosa Centifolia, the type to which the cabbage rose and the moss roses belong. ''Rose Parfum deL'Hay, a hybrid of Rosa rugosa, Is be ing tried out In this conntry in recent years. Other perfume plants of con siderable importance include the lemon verbena, the rose gerani Lebanon Editorial Reprinted LEBANON An editorial from She "Lebanon Express" was . re printed in full in the May issue of "The Oregon Trainc saiery jc- ' rhanee" published by the secre lary of state. This editoiial writ ten by LtRoy Iamaa, news edit or of the Express, was called the best safety editorial of the month. It was written f. the time that Lebanon received the plaque from the secretary of state in recogm tlon of there having been no traf fic fatalities here for two years. On this first day of the week commemorating Memorial day the public library is calling at tention to those planning pro grams that there is plenty of such material available at the library. Outstanding book of the week 'Victory Through Air Power" by Major Alexander P. xie Sever- sky. The author has been actively connected with the aviation in dustry since 1915 and has been particularly successful in the de sign of airplanes. In this book he advocates the creation of a sepa rate air unit for the United States; he believes air superiority is mora important than either na val or army superiority and that the present plan of combining the air forces with the other units results in holding the air forces back from their most effective work. To prove the power of air fighting he tells in some de tail how every major battle in this war has been won by control of the air; and it is the story of these battles that forms the most in teresting part of the book. Because of the author's recognized posi tion in aviation his book of opin ions and carefully documented facta will have a great influence on military planning in this coun try. Another new book which will exert an influence on American action and thought is "The Mak ing of Tomorrow" by Raoui de Roussy de Sales, a Frenchman who has been in this country for the past ten years. This is a book of ideas which forms an analysis of what we call the American way of life. The book attempts to draw together into an under standable pattern the ideas and ideals which distinguish America from all other nations. Although written in the classic tradition and intended for both present and future generations of history readers, this book is thoroughly readable and has - an immediate value today. It has already been rated one of the most popular re cent selections of the Book-of-the-Month club. In contrast to the seriousness of the two books discussed above, there are three new novels which have some interest and,; import ance in literature. In the book "Mr. Pan" by Emily Hairh, who last year wrote on the lives of the Soong sisters, we have a thor oughly entertaining group of short stories about a Mr. Pan of China.

Put According to Fannie, my little educated kangaroo helper, the only thing you can do about the weather is write about it. So, with Fannie's scientific kibitzing. Prof. Otherwise will now discuss me teorology, same being oddities of the elements. The weather affects people, crops and the barometer. It does n't affect alligators and Califor nians. A . lot of people who read California's 'bundant blaVney hope they'll go to California when they die. Some go there before they die, but many become dis gusted and wind ip in the Wil lamette valley. Glenora, Ore., with 13L54 inches of annual rainfall, is now the wettest spot In the United States. But Fannie says prior to the repeal of the 18th amend ment, the distinction belonged to Key West, Florida. Which brings us to fog. The only difference between a fog and a cloud is one of elevation. The dir tiest fog on earth can change it self into a pretty cloud simply by getting up into the air. When a man gets up into the air, he makes a donkey of himself. When elec tricity gets up into the air, it be comes lightning. There are over 44,000 lightning storms on earth each day. And, according to Fan nie, that's a lot of lightning. If it should all strike in One spot at the same time, say, in your garden, you wouldn't grow any tomatoes or cucumbers this year. Squirrels putting away an abundance of nuts is no sign of a severe winter. Squirrels are specialists in the art of gather ing nuts. So are the people who pick up filberts. And have you ever seen a squirrel or a filbert picker who had any competency as a prognosticator? They gath er a lot of nuts simply because there happens to be a lot of nuts to gather. You've probably heard it before, but an Indian used to predict a bad winter because "white man put In lots of wood." A hard military battle is almost invariably followed by stormy weather. Fannie discussed ' this with her friend Mr. M'Goober, who said, "So Is a long dry spell." Troops are moved during good weather, and it takes a lot of time Bad weather must inevitably fol low, sometime. Even a weather man knows that. Spading a garden is a back- breaking job, and it's no wonder. For an inch of rainfall covering an acre of ground weighs no less than 100 tons. Naturally, it packs the ground down hard. Or should it be hardly? We hardly think so. Meteorologically s p e a k i ng, Oklahoma is the windiest state in the union. Metaphorically speakinr, It's still California. The largest hailstones ever measured were those which fell in New South Wales, Australia, in February of 1S47. They were 14 inches in circumference. Fan nie says even kangaroos stuck their heads in the sand. Date for Rose Show Changed NORTH DWELL The rose show at the home of Mrs. Thomas Bump is to be Friday, May 29, in stead of June 3 as was formerly planned. The change was made to; accommodate those who wisned to use their exhibits for Memorial day.

Everyone is invited to bring roses early .in the afternoon to be classed in the following: single rose in individual container, group of three roses, bowls, vases and baskets of one variety and mixed; all white high and low arrange ment any 'kind of blooms; twin arrangements? breakfast table decorations; foliage plants; unus ual arrangements; and bowls, vases and baskets of all flowers in bloom. Mrs. Bump has general charge of home arrangements, Mrs. A. T. Cline and Mrs. C. E. Waltman of flowers, and Mrs. A. B. Wiesner will have charge of the guest book. Guests are also invited to con tribute to the flower question box answers by the judge will constitute an Informal program. An Invitation is extended to all flower and garden enthusiasts. Why Adolph! Car Stolen At Lebanon LEBANON John Brown left the key in his car when he parked it Monday night in front of his house. When he went out a short while later to get the key the car was being driven down the street. Night Officer Cyrus Hardy re sponded to the call and trailed the stolen car. When the men in Brown's car realized that they were being chased they set the throttle, left the car in gear and jumped. The car swerved and struck Officer Hardy's car, gra zed a telephone pole, crossed sev eral vacant lots before being stop ped. The only damage done was to the police car which was badly dented. No arrests have been made. V' i Somethin' new has been added to the gadgets on President Roose velt's desk in the White House. Look in lower left-hand corner of the picture and you can spot it.

Since the start of the busy sea son many of the volunteers who had served in the winter were un able to continue. Mrs. L! D.
