Two Students Invent Gadget
To Alleviate Cigaret Woes
By Aline Mosby
(United Press Staff Correspondent!
Seattle, Dee. 30 (IP) Two Uni
versity of Washington students
announced today they have in
vented a gadget guaranteed to res
cue a frenzied American public
from the cigaret shortage, and if
you're smitten with Bull Durham
blues or the case of the empty cig
aret counter, this Item is just your
dish.
The gadget is called a "cig-jig,
and works most pleasingly after
you saunter by several "no cigaret
today" signs or indulge in the tor
ture of rolling your own by hand,
net result of which invariably is
an inch of limp paper and the rest
dribbly tobacco shreds.
To Go on Market
Cig-jig. which goes on the mar
ket within a week, was mothered
by Phil Hebner and Arch Matte
son, graduate students at the Uni
versity of Washington. They ran'
out of cigarets one day and de
cided to do something about it.
The cig-lig, folks, gives you a
cig in a jig 20 seconds, in fact.
It consists of a vest pocket size
oblong block, hollowed to the
shape of a fag, and separate
plunger, smooth on one end,
notched on the other.

smooth end or the plunger, blass
it with the tip of your tongue and
insert it (the paper) into the

down with the notched end of the

coffin nail so round, so firm and
a darn sight easier than rolling

bought tailor-mades, too.
Wood Used
The cigaret-rolling gadget now
is fashioned of non-prioritied
wood, iDut its postwar dress win
be colorful plastics. Hebner and
Matteson even promise to perfect
a cig-cig-jig to roll out two fags
at one for those gents of the Paul
Henreld school who light up two
at the same time when in female
company. Of course, it's up to
Emily P. to decide If men can
properly pass around their own
licked jigged cigs.
Cig-jig may knock out the slats
from under glamorous range

many an advantage. It's easily
mastered by one-arm drivers and
seven-year-olds (get Junior to roll
'em for you). Besides, it cures
fag-bummers looking for Tobacco

their own cig-jig.
There now, your cigaret prob

Veteran Ranger
To Quit Service
Sliver Lake, Dec. 30 Ranger E.
J. Rogers, who for the past 10
years has been district ranger of
the Silver Lake district of the Fre
mont national forest, will soon re
tire from the forest service, he
announced today.
Ranger Rogers entered the serv
ice as a horse wrangler and
packer on the Lewis and Clark
national forest In Montana in 1915.
He transferred to Fort Klamath
as a district ranger in the spring
of 1921. Rogers later took charge
of ranger districts at Butte Fulls
and Tiller, Ore., and at Dayton,
Wash. The Rogers moved to Sil
ver Lake in the fall of 1934.
Mrs. Rogers is a registered
nurse, and as Silver Lake is more
than 75 miles from the nearest
doctor, she has performed a great
service to the community in cases
of accident and illness.
Ranger Rogers Is an excellent
horseman and his trained horses
have always been a great attrac
tion wherever he has been. His wit ;
and humor have also helped to
win him many friends of the
range country, and a good many
of his "Rogerisms" have become
expressions of the stockmen and
loggers. The Rogers have not yet
decided as to where they will
make their future residence.

Local Egg Prices
Under OPA Fire
Discovery that several mer
chants in Bend have been selling
eggs at rates above the ceiling
prices, today brought a warning
from the local war price and ra
tioning board that this practice
must cease, and at the same time
the public was advised of the
proper rates to pay for eggs.
E. H. Kennedy, price clerk on
the board, said that the merchants
were not entirely at fault in the
matter, because they had not re
ceived the OPA price schedules
which should have been issued in
October. He said that he had no
tified a number of dealers of the
legal price rates on eggs, and
that the merchants would be
furnished as quickly as possible
witn copies or the regulations.
' Ceiling prices which will prevail
until next Thursday were given
by Kennedy as follows:
Grade A (large), from 61 to 04
cents; grade B (medium), 57
cents, and grade C (small), 51
cents.
Kennedy said that ho had been
informed that In some instances
eggs had been sold for as much
as 72 and 73 cents a dozen, which
is definitely a violation of OPA
regulations, he added. He warned
the public to pay no more than the
current celling rates, which he
said would change from week to
week for several months.
He also warned the buyer that
a number of eggs have been
shipped in owing to a local short
age, and that these eggs are
double A grade, and that the pur
chaser should note the difference
in markings on the boxes. The
double A grade eggs tell at a
higher rate, he explained.

For Big Crusade
Over and above their regular

ing aid to China.
The Bend church has set as its
goal $1,700. this money to be
raised by March 1. All members
of the church are being asked to

The landscape, even that old

what the, calendar men call "the
smiling, wholesome typical Amer

They denied that sex had any
thing to do with her victory; it

Loneliest G.. in All Seattle
Assigned Retinue of Coeds
Seattle, Dec. 30 Pi Armed
with a three-day pass, a $100 ex
pense account and five eye-filling
coeds, a tall, dark marine sergeant
was preparing for a gay New
Year's week-end today no longer
the "loneliest G.I. in town."
Sgt. Fred Klinefelter of Cold
water, Mich., near Detroit, never
had been very lonely anyway, but
the navy, prodded by a Hollywood
press agent, picked him to typify
the "loneliest serviceman" In Se
attle. The press agent wanted a real
life lonesome fellow to officiate
at the northwest premiere here of
"Hollywood Canteen," the movie
in which a homesick G.I. Is given
the key to the city and curvaceous
dates Irom filmland.
The navy offered to select a
sad-eyed serviceman from wound
ed vets at the Seattle naval hospi
tal. What they produced glad
dened the eye of the press agent,
but he was hardly lonely.
Broad shouldered Klinefelter
showed up flashing a smile that
would make your backbone wig
gle, and announced that as Boon
as he cancelled his New Year's
week-end dates he'd be ready to
be the loneliest G.I. being made
un-lonely.
Five beauty queens from the
man-scarce University of Wash
ington hastily snatched at the
chance to help things along.
Sergeant Fred received the key
to Seattle and then told the Holly
wood Canteen premiere audience
that he was glad not to be lonely
any more but that making speech
es was "worse than Guadalcanal."
