WHAT THE WAR MEANS Returning from Washington, D. C, where he attended a meeting; of the United States conference of mayors Mayor EarrRiley, of Portland, told Larry Smith, of the Oregon Jour nal some of the things that had been brought home to him in the nation's capitol regarding the life of the people while the war is being waged. As a way of impressing on the public facts? that many do not yet realize it seems worth while to quote f rotn the Journal story, thus : Citizens of these United States will lead a different life In the next several years than they have ever led before and it will be a life of sacrifice and tightening of the belt from dawn until dark. "It Is going to be so much different as to be startling." the mayor said. "Our diet will be different and our clothing ideas will be different. We will miss a lot of luxuries to which we have been accustomed but we are going to take it and like it." As yet we don't know what it is to give up things. We are going to give up so many things in the next several years that we will be stunned. This is no easy war to win. We will be on the de fensive for two vear before we co on the offensive. In that two years will be the" time when we will learn the meaning of the word sacrifice. The mayor said that manv fancy foods now on the market will not be there soon. Vests will be gone from men's suits. The two pants to a suit will be out the window. Women's clothes will be full of substitute materials. All kinds of substitutes will take the place of materials used today for everything. We will spend less monev in the future, Riley said. What we save will go into defense savings bonds because under the budget set up bv the president, every spare nickel in this country must go into the war effort. We will stay home more than we ever did. we are going to take more short cuts than we ever did before and again. I say. we are going to like it. Younger men are going into the service and their places will be taken bv older men and women of all ages. The army program means that we may have an army of maybe. 5. 8 or 10 million men. It Is a war on all fronts and we intend to win It and the peace that follows. Work hours will be extended beyond the present limits, the mayor went on. People who normally work eight hours a day in private Industry will soon find themselves doing another lour hours or more work on some defense matters. All eapltal expenditures of cities are out the window for the duration, Riley said. Cities have been urged to spend no money that is not of an emergency nature. "In other words," the mayor explained, "we are going to pull In our ears and keep them pulled In. And. I repeat, we are going to like it." THE DESCHUTES APPROPRIATION Although it w9 announced, when the president's budget estimates' were made public, they included the sum of $600,000 for the Deschutes project later information indicated that the 1943 budget included no new funds for the Deschutes what ever. Inquiry regarding the situation directed to Floyd O. Hagie, manager of the office of the National Reclamation as sociation in Washington, has brought forth the following: Here are the facts. On January first this year there remained unexpended balance on Deschutes of $910,000. This remains avail able until expended. Bureau (of Reclamation) feels that by July 1 at start of 1943 fiscal year there will still remain $600,000 which will be ample to carry construction through next fiscal year at present rate without further appropriation, providing they can retain both CCC camps and can get necessary steel, rubber and other strategic materials. In the situation disclosed by the statement . from Mr. jflagie there would seem to be little for those interested in the Deschutes project in which to take concern. Apparently there are to be funds available for carrying on the construction pro gram. Having the necessary funds the only questions are whether the necessary man-power and material will be avail able. If not it will be because they are devoted to war pur poses. Can any of us quarrel over that state of affairs? Ice plant and cold storage operators are holding a conven tion in Portland this week. These's one group that need not fear freezing of its product for the duration.

Then, on an I impulse, he was on his feet de- manding recognition so vehement- ly there was no denying him.

I "Let's hear him!" they howled. And old Asahel announced the i floor was his. "Mr. Failing, why do you want i the settlers to go on record for an I extension of your South Canal contract?" Failing, outwardly as cool as blue steel, was on his feet smiling ly. "For the good of the settlers themselves yes, and the com-i pany's too, I admit. The South Canal will save us all. And now,' may I inquire your interest in the i matler?" The manager's counter question was sharp and cold. But Kent Ig-: nored It and came bade again.

An' now they come wanting us to help 'em Start another Steal." The old man stooped for a nin- ute, apparently meditating. Yet he was not interrupted. No one! would, or could, have broken in on him Just then, for his sudden fierce fire carried with it the spirit of the entire meeting. "Are we sure we're to get any good out of the new unit?

There was Dad Trumble at the platform's edge, with his threaten- ing whip, and his white wrath, The sallow engineer wilted In his chair. Failing stood at the side of where the manager's suddenly soft eyes were looking. "Yes, let's hear from her!" The cry went up for Crete Col ton. And because all were looking at her, or toward her, none but Kent caught that expression and ! that mute message written on Failing's face for Crete Colton a own interpretation. The girl's mouth opened as if In speak, but she only wet her lips. It seemed n.t If she were about to rise, but instead she settled all at once more firmly In her seat. And Instead of looking to the eaRer! men and women about her, the blue eyes gazed steadily to the stage. ..' : Or. Grant Skinner DENTIST 1036 W.ll Strest Evenings by Appointment Of fie. PkaM It Cta. faasa IfS-M 21, 1942 Crete Colton did not speak. In stead after a apace-she smiled and shook her head. And because she was loved more or less person ally hy nearly every man and woman In the room, she was urg ed no further. Disorder returned. For a minute it looked as If the nut'tlng would break up. Then Pad Trumble made himself heunt again. This time he had climbed to the pint (nnn, and as he npoke the fire seemed gone out of him. "There uin't no use In a row," he counseled. "I might lie wrong. I dunnn. Anyway, it's up to nil u' us now to get right ca'm agin, and I don't know anyone who run make more headway when It comes to puttin' keUuiine on the scrappy waters, so ter sMuk, than our good frten' lllshop Kudd." Catching the drift of Dad's re marks heads craned around to lo cate the Bishop. Everyone at Fare well knew Hisnop Kudd, and most of those who knew him liked him. "So, ladle an' gents, I'm a guln' to ask the Huh to talk to us, with the permission of the hon ruble chairman." Bishop Koliert Rtldil, whose dio cese was a rallroadlexa territory vaster than several eastern states, spoke simply ami with strong straightforward words which won prompt attention, lie said that In disputes both side usually had a meusure of right, and counseled full Investigation. "And as we're here," he con tinued, "let us take the opportun ity to thank the Almighty for what he has done for u, and to pray for his aid and forgiveness. . . . I am sure vou are all wllllne." So the "little lllshop," who had ! conducted services liefore the light of sagebrush fires at cutile camps, and In saloons rommiin-di-ered for the occasion on Sab bath mornings, offered a simple prayer. He asked that strength lie eiven to make more mire the lan guage of thtme who supplicated, I and especially that the taking of the Lord's name lightly should cease. And all Jollied with him in a resounding "Amen." It was late. Restless scraping of feet signaled approaching dls bandment of (he "settlers' meet ing." But ere th scraping grew louiler the company crowd played i their last card, following up the previous lead. "Mr. Chairman." it was devil , may -care Hartpool speaking. "A ( while hack I put a motion. It was never withdrawn, and I'd like a j vote on It." Silence. 1 "Question." shouted someone. Asahel Brush chewed his mus tache and finally called the vote. There was a full throated chor us of ayes. 'Contrary minded." "No," roared the settlers, and the sound of It sent red blond rac ing to Falling's face, and drlight to the heart of Kent. Asahel scratched his head. Par liamentary procedure and himself were far from intimate. Hudd, burning over, coached the puzzled presiding officer. "Them In favor of the resolu tion rise," said the chairman. The company crowd to a man stood up.
