. 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.

down the line.

Kent reached the signature with
astonishment. The last he had 1
seen of the Bishop was at the Pen- i
noycr dinner in New York, and
here suddenly he was turning up'
with the key to the puzzle! Look- j
Ino- slnnr the crowded heneh he

signaled his thanks. Then, on an I
impulse, he was on his feet de-
manding recognition so vehement-
ly there was no denying him. It !
was Kent's first gun in the locak
hostilities, and although the set
tlers had no Idea what he wanted,
they knew him as a friend of
Pharaoh and indefinitely scented i
more trouble, which was becom-1
ing dear to their hearts. 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. '
"If the settlers refuse to en-,
dorse this scheme for robbing;
Peter to pay Paul, can you net the
renewal yourself?"

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.
