Bend fa called soldier and the community does do these things with spirit and competence. At the same time there are things thut should be done for the juveniles and they are not done. Something should be done. Something in the nature of a juvenile recreation center is needed here and along with it wise and understanding direction and management. study by the planners who execution calls for capital outlays and continuing support. Properly done the undertaking should pay big dividends in health and citizenship, While agreeing that a recreation center is needed we urge that there is much that juveniles could do for them selves without waiting for adult aid. Our letter writers, however, seem to think that they are helpless. "We haven't anything to do, no place to go," they say. We wish they would write more telling what they would like to do where to go. Their suggestions and those of their fellow students should be of value to the various committees that are con sidering juvenile recreation problems. . BURT SNYDER Oregon Voter says that Burt Snyder will not be in the next legislature unless Deschutes county leadership exerts itself to draft him and see that he is supported for re-elec- iion. i nere is a cnauenge that should be met. Snyder, a resident of Lakeview, represents the joint Lake-Deschutes district having been elected and re-elected under the tacit agreement that the district should be represented by a Lake county man. It is an agreement that has been effective since the district was created and every effort should be made to see that Burt Snyder is returned again. The particular reason why Burt Snyder's friends must be relied on at this time is because Burt himself is on the state war bond staff and has no time for campaigning. As the Voter says, "In character, capacity, usefulness and in fluence he is one of the outstanding legislators." There should be no question about his return to the legislature nor about his Deschutes county support. The wife of a Camp Abbot soldier writes us regarding difficulties experienced in securing work in Bend. She does not indicate what type of work her training fits her for 'so that it is Impossible to offer any particular advice. It may be pointed out, however, that the wives of many sol diers have been given work in Bend and that at Camp Abbot, itself, many of the civilian employes are wives of soldiers. Given capacity, some degree of training and a will to work most wives, we think, can find jqba here. Others Say ...

They may even Influence somo of the senator's enemies to vote for him on the strensth of the position he has taken on wartime labor regulation by em pna sizing mat issue. In a resolution calling for the senator's defeat, considered at the annual CIO convention In Eugene recently, tne reason lor the or ganlzation's hostility toward Hoi-! man was too thinly veiled to fool anyone. I char2.l that Holman, "consistently anrl cnnl numta v opposed every legislative attempt toward prior national prepared ness seriously peopardized the safety of our country and there by contributed to the length of the world conflict." It failed to note that which In all fairness is due the senator; the fact that he has supported every war measure coming before the senate since the United States entered the con flict, and has been uncompromis ing In his support of the war ef fort. The labor group reveals the real foundation of Its animus by ac cusing him of opposing "all fair and equitable labor legislation." In view of Holman's record of In sistence on wartime labor curbs, an attack from this angle will strengthen rather than weaken him with the general public, which has no sympathy with la bors wartime strike tactics The real Issue Involved In Hol man b candidacy for reelection that of his position on American . foreign policies, has been entirely ; ignored. Except for his coopera- tlon In plans for the prosecution of the war on a global scale now that we are in It. Holman has al ways been, still Is and, so far as he has Indicated, Intends to re main a confirmed nationalist and Isolationist. There Is no room in the picture of American post-war diplomacy or such narrow minded and provincial statesmanship. The foreign policy issue should and will be predominant in the com ing senatorial election. lions do noon dkkiih Charlotte. N. C. ll J. L.

The Story: Kitty Bishop comes to the suburban home of her brother, Ben Graham, and his wife Peg, to recuperate from her sudden divorce from Collins Bis hop, a meteorlcally successful young lawyer. Kitty had rebelled when the increasing importance of his career made him apparent ly neglect her. The first evening of her stay with the Grahams she meets ebullient Mac MacGregor and hen-pecked Randall Seaton and makes a hit with them both. Peg Is worried because of Mag Seaton. a a a VII Sunday dinner was followed, as Sunday dinners so often are, by heavy somnolence. After a little prodding Mac had gone home to work, Jane and Bunny, whose ac tivity was never impaired by any- thing, had disappeared but Ben frankly went to sleen on the Hv- ins-room couch and Peg and Kitty only prtended to be awake. The bull-voiced fire siren brought the whole town to. Bon I woke up. The church bell didn't ring, too, so he knew it wasn t an air raid warning and that he was tree to enjoy tne peaceful diver sion of a Sunday afternoon fire. "Ben," explained Pee. as her husband's eyes lost the haunted look that she knew meant he was wondering where his armband ! was, "is an air-raid warden." I The jealous ton" said Ben.

He finally succeeded in his lethal ef forts, unexpectedly, fell in the hole up to his left knee and was enveloped in a puff of smoke that drew great applause from the large and avid audience. An ex ecutive member of the first com pany, too ample to climb ladders, tilted back his derby and roared i Instructions from the ground. No one paid any attention. He started up the ladder, Imprudently but gallantly. It buckled warnlngly, to ! more applause. Kitty asked rather filatntlvely why they didn't go In he front door and walk upstairs. "Oh Kitty," said Peg approach fully, "haven't you any sense of fitness?" "Besides, the door's locked," said a voice at Kitty's shoulder. "The Tompkins' aren't home." i "Randall!" Said l'og. "Hollo: Where's -Oh Mac, do come meet I j Kitty!

"What a mess for Betty Tomp kins to come home to tonight," said Peg sympathetically. . Mag said it wasn't too bad, that Betty had wanted to do some re decorating upstairs anyway only Tom wouldn't let her. Mag's voice Implied that this was the kind of lucky break she never had her self. Peg said then she felt all right about enjoying the excite ment and Mag said bitterly, "Our abundant life! That gives you an Idea, Mrs. Bishop." Peg hurriedly burst Into speech. "I know," she said, "some day I'm going to write a sad ode, 'Sun set Over the Kitchen Sink,' or mnybe 'Dawn and Diapers'!" Mag Seaton was not mollified. "You have a good maid," she said, a a a Kitty saw the muscles tighten around Randall's Jaw at his wife's indirect and public accusation of his inadequacy.' He observed In a carefully detached tone that Kitty probably wouldn't understand what a boon all this was on a Sun day afternoon in Doromus.' "Oh, good heavens, Randall!" Mag exclaimed in a tone that most people, Kitty considered un comfortably, would have saved up to use behind closed doors. Then she lauehed unconvlne- Ingly, for Kitty's benefit, and re- marked lightly that Randall, poor oarimg, insisted upon feeling cheated by life because every day In the year wasn't Christmas. .,., "mat would be all right," said a8 - saia Kanoau "But you go on acting on It!"

MV O TVIFATPH SPATS OWLV AND WITH TWO SHOWS 10 CHARGE 3.75 JU5r TO Washington Letter By Peter Edson (MBA Staff CoTraapondant) The question of how far the government can go in dictating production and prices of neces sary civilian sup plies Is stirring up one of the merriest little problems the war agencies have had to wrestle with in moons. The Issue can best be stated In tho. form nf a hv. EdM. pothetical case. Should the U. S. government, through the duly constituted au thorities, be able to go to the Joe Doakes Textile Mlg Co., speaking to the head man as follows? . . . "Look, Joe! The country is short of overalls. Your mills are now weaving a lot of stuff for drapes and davenport covers on which you are now collecting fancy prices but which are not needed in the war effort. We would like to suggest, therefore, that you Immediately convert your looms from the weaving of pretty chintzes to the weaving of plain, everyday blue denim. "We realize that you are weav ing a lot of cloth for the armed forces, but since you are making nice profits on this business more, than double what you made In any one year between 1936 and 1939 you'll have to make this denim to sell at cost." a e a President Joe Doakes of the Joe Doakes Mfg. Co. staggers slight ly, then recovers, rares back in his chair and says, "I ain't inter ested. Why should I give up the manufacture of chintzes for which there Is a good demand and a nice price, just to mane aenim on which the price is not so nice and the profits nil? Besides, you can't do this to me." Here Mr. Government smiles kindly. "Things are different now. Joe.

Vinson's directive writer in Dallas. of Nov. 16, 1943, as amended and restated Jan. 30, 1944?" "Never heard of it,'' says Joe. "It's very interesting," says Mr. uovernmeni, ana you snuuiu broaden your reading." Then the man stts out patiently to explain. In order to assure adequate pro duction of essential civilian goods, the War Production Board Is di rected to make plans for the manufacture of sufficient quentl ties to make up the shortages, subject to Office of Price Admin istration approval of the price to prevent Inflation. "There exists a patriotic responsibility on the part of all manufacturers of consum ers' goods to produce utilitarian, durable products at a cost which the average consumer is able to pay," wrote Judge Vinson. There fore, he ordered that excessive profits should be prevented in such manufacture, and he ruled that where profits of any manu facturer were less than double his 1 1936-39 average he could make 2 ; pet cent on this new business, I while if his profits were now more than double the 1936-39 profit, he'd have to make the; goods at cost. a a a This order caused more ruckus than anything the Office of Eco nomic Stabilization has done. Businessmen came storming down to see Judge Vinson to know if this was to be government pol icy on all civilian goods produc tion during reconversion and in' the post-war period. Did it apply j to flatirons and horsecollars? The I pressure got so hot that Judge) Vinson nad to suck back part of his order, by saying It was to ap ply only to textiles work clothes, work gloves and stuff like that.
