FOR JUVENILES
There is good sense in the
students, Randall Cram and
page today. 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.

CON Ft SING THE ISSUE
(Salem Capital Journal)
In the arguments It advances In
support of Its demand lor the
defeat of United States Senator

election the CTfl la tn Iramnomnt.

to carry much weight outside of
its own ranks and those others
who have already made up their
minds to oppose the Junior scna-

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

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

ignored. Except for his coopera-

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.

Sunday dinner was followed, as
Sunday dinners so often are, by
heavy somnolence. After a little
prodding Mac had gone home to

She was entranced by the spec
tacle of a fireman In a checked
cap chopping away at the roof
from which a desultory thread of
smoke occasionally emerged. 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

"Oh Kitty," said Peg approach

"Besides, the door's locked,"
said a voice at Kitty's shoulder.

Implied that this was the kind of

"I know," she said, "some day

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

"Oh, good heavens, Randall!"
Mag exclaimed in a tone that
most people, Kitty considered un
comfortably, would have saved up

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. There 8 a war on and we can

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.
How many bonds should you
buy? As many as you can afford,
then some more.
