On Point System
J- MONMOUTH-The Civic club's
April meeting was held Thursday
afternoon with about 40 members
' and guests present. Six - women
from the Independence Women's
club attended, responding to an
invitation as the occasion was
hospitality day.
The Civic club voted $ 1 toward
a bouquet of war stamps being
purchased for Mrs. C. O. Sanford,
Coouille. state president of the
- federated clubs. A $5 contribu
.tion was voted to the Fir Crest
-.Cemetery association for mainten
ance- improvements. A report
- was made that two boxes of books

day room at Camp Adair.

' Election of officers will be held
next month, for which this nom
inating committee was' appointed:
Mrs." P. 'M. J Schweizer, Mrs. H.
Sagmeier and Mrs. .W. L. Smith.
'The hixh 'point of Interest of
the afternoon was. a talk given
. by Clark Van Fleet, district ra-
tiening officer. ; who 7 appeared
. under auspices of the Civic club. .
He discussed tho - rationing of
food, shoes, etc and answered
many questions relating to same.
The point system, he explained,
originated - in Great Britain
where it has worked out. favor
ably. ' Replying to numerous inquir
' ies as to the "why" of this or that
rationing, he stated that in the
Atlantic the submarine menace is
taking 'so much; of our shipped
' food that the ' '. problem is more
' than serious.
' "Don't think that this war
a will be over soon, he said, ad-
ding that he believes It will last,
at least three" years, probably
four or. more, years. "The first
; World war was just a little pa
rade down the street compared '
to this terrific conflict."
. One woman asked why salmon
. caught here . on our west coast
,r should cost 75 cents per -pound.
I Van Fleet said there were many
? reasons for this high price. Fisher-7-
men can't work steadily, due to
.-weather conditions, for one thing,
j end they charge accordingly,
when it is possible to go out fish
- ing. Also, they are hampered by
a labor shortage and by the short
' .age of trucks for inland transpbr
- tation after the catch has been
: '-made.
:'So many questions were fired
at the speaker, that he candidly
. admitted he couldn't answer all
of. them, and said that many of
. . the perplexing questions interest-
ing everyone today, cannot be
, answered until experience and
; time work out satisfactory rea
' sons. ' . l
Present, briefly, also were
:7 Richard EL Montgomery, re
gional director, OP A; and Bar
"). clay Newman, price specialist.
- Both were also scheduled to
. apeak, but they permitted Van
S Fleet to do aU the talking.
Tea hostesses for the day were
: Mrs. J.- L. Van Loan, and Mrs.
":. Dewey. . Mrs. D. T. Pomerdy,
- president of the - Independence
