People were requested at almost
every point in the state to stay off
the roads and hold travel to a
minimum. The Columbia river
highway was open but ice under
the snow pack made it extremely
slippery.
Snow which began falling at mid
night and continued until noon to
day blanketed the Pendleton area
but failed to cause any disruption
of traffic. ' State highway depart
ment crews were hard pressed to
keep the Pendleton-La Grande

Albany schools closed when a
power failure chilled furnaces.
About 100 workers were unable to

Dairymen Demand
Higher Price Here

more than 25 cents a hundred to
help make up the 60 cent increase
which the dairymen will charge. I
In the retail market there will
be this situation under OPA con
trol: , S.S milk . . .MS cents s quart
t per cent milk . . 15e quart
Many producer-distributors ca
tering to the raw milk demand do
not have mixing machinery . and
will not be able to control fat
content accurately, but they will
presumably continue present prac
tice. The 15 cent price on 5 per cent
mUk is the same as it has been
since last March.
Gordon Coleman, manager of
Medoland, president of the Dis
tributors Association said that his
group had not yet reached any
actual decision on cutting fat
content or on reducing deliveries,
but said they probably would be
willing to cut fat content under
OPA direction.
As to further economies In de
liveries., Mr. Colemen pointed out
that Eugene haa already lead the
way. it was one of the first cities
in the United States to drop Sun
day deliveries In October, 1941;
In June, 1942 Eugene dairies eith
er dropped all Wednesday and
Sunday deliveries or went to de
livery every other day. Mileage
haa been cut some 40 per cent
Other economy measures In
clude a ticket and bottle system
at stores which has reduced bot
tle losses 73 per cent, tightening
up of credit to stop credit losses,
and considerable trading of cus
tomers to, eliminate "tag ends"
on routes. In some outlying dis
tricts, remote customers have been
dropped.
Mr, Coleman pointed out that
the average margin of distributors
in the Eugene area is only .00172
cents on a quart of milk from
which to absorb the increase In
dairy price.
"We recognise the Importance
of keeping up health standards
and keeping our dairymen in busi
ness," said Mr. Coleman, "but it
is not coins to be easy for US."
, However, Dr. Stewart aald that
if distributors . continue to show
serious losses under the 90 cent
price of the dairies, OPA will send
its cost accountants into the field
to make new studies for possible
relief.
In deciding to raise their price
from 73 to 90 cents, - the Lane
County Market Milk Producers
decided to ignore the threat oi
OPA men that the U. S. Depart
ment of Justice might get after
them for violating the Sherman
anti-trust act.
"We are a corporation and this
Is-theactioh of our directors,"
they said. "We have a right to
put a price on our product to
cover increased costs. Actually
on present supply prices we ought
to ask $1 but 90 cents will let
most of us hang on and we hope
OPA will get around to putting
some ceilings' on hay and grain
and the things we have to buy. At
any rate, there is not going to be
any "strike" and we are going to
go on supplying Eugene with good
milk."
The directors subscribing the
price increase are Ray Hill, chair
man, Earl McNutt, Ed .Johnson,
L. J. GetcheU and W. F. Reed.

Webb declared, "The Japanese
have nothing to live for, so they
are willing to die. Our men fight
to live they are looking forward
to life after the war, and are not
looking for suicide. It's a healthy
attitude."
