Lack of Food
Goss Warns Grange 'j
New Production x
Helps Needed ''A
WENATCHEE, Nov. lMa-Al-bert
S. Goss, master of the Na
tional Grange, opened the 76th
! annual . convention Wednesday
with a warning that today's farm
, problem Instead of being one of
surplus,' was one of maintaining
. ample, production. L
"Unless something Is done," he
said, "food production will fall
off. We have had 'surplus crops
so long , that we seem to have
taken it for . granted that they
would continue, and no adequate
safeguards haje been provided to
give farmers the protection neces
sary to secure needed production.'
"With increased consumption,
serious food shortages loom in
many lines," he warned. He dealt
at long length in an analysis of
farm problems and assailed gov
ernment policies on manpower
" and price control. 1 '
At one point , In his address
he declared that the policies
followed by the office of price
. administration had been an Im
portant factor in creatine food
shortages in the nation. . .
Goss' address was the only pub
lie function of the convention
Wednesday. - " ,

tion session until next week. T-
About 4000 grangers were here

To Assume First

Oregon was challenged, to earn
another "first" in the national war

The commander o f o n e of
Adair's fighting units in training
declared that fighting spirit in the
army's men began at home. C
- They will sacrifice for 'ideals
to just the same extent that you
will at home. Gen. Cook " said
"Today you should dedicate your
selves to building up this fighting
spirit of the armed forces. These
men must be tough. Cheering and
uniforms alone won't do it"

NEW YORK, Nov, 1-VP) Ad
vertising is an "essential part of
our f communications system," a
system which the. government has
no remotest desire to ; destroy,
Chairman Donald M. J Nelson : of
the war production board asserted.
Wednesday night. s ; . ,
At the same time, Capt Oliver
Lyttleton, British minister of pro
duction, called .the United Nations'
invasion of Africa "the greatest
amphibious operation in history"
and said the number of vessels in
convoy was well over plus
more than Z5T ships of war.
Nelson said the future does not
hold a bright picture for the In
dividual " businessman, but "the
picture is not wholly black either"
At a dinner meeting of the As
sociation of National Advertisers,
he skid: x ' ,
"I see no reason why any man
should ; assume, - nowj . that no
scope Is going to be loft for. the
free exercise of his talents; I sec
: no reason to assume that the
field is going to tighten up so
much .: that advertising will not
stm have an important Job to
do In the distribution of goods.
"For advertising, I must repeat,
is an essential part of our com
munications system. - We dare not
destroy or cripple that communi
cations system in wartime, and we
have no remotest desire to do
so." 'V v ' ' ' - J
- Nelson assured his hearers that
whatever temporary - restrictions
and limitations might have to be
laid "on the free enterprise sys
tem in the .coming year would not
be "capricious." - , ;
"The government recognizes ad
vertising as a legitimate tool of
business and believes it has a use
ful- role in our war- effort," he

exactly four weeks after it was

The last impediment to enact

said that war department of f i
