"VALID INDEFINITELY"
Cheater Bowles, head of
and asks for aid in getting it
of food throughout tne country are low and, on that account,
more severe rationing measures are essential. Okay. You have
rea4 it on the front page and heard it over the radio. Now we
are telling you whac Chester says and we have no reason to
doubt his word. We do, however, question the OPA argument
that if you had failed to use a ration coupon announced as
being valid indefinitely you lost nothing by having it can
celled, your failure to use it being evidence that you did not
need it. Or perhaps OPA has its own definitions for "need."
Clearly, it has its own for the phrase, "valid indefinitely."
"Indennitely " now turns out
voked "
Here's what Don Upjohn,
(Sips for Supper) has to say on the subject:
'1 He OPA sort of played last and loose with the housewives
by promising them that the red and blue stamps would be
good indelimtely and then changing the situation abruptly
und very definitely. Chester Bowles, head of the OPA, alreaay
is sending out some arguments to back up his position, but
any chap who ever got in an argument with a housewife can
realize tne position of Mr. Bowles who, it looks like now, is
, going to be in an argument with most all of them. The women
are ready to go to most any lengths in their household econo
mies to help out with the war effort, but they don't exactly
like the way it was done.
HERE AND THERE
Congratulations to Officers Chester Nordstrom and Wal
ter Greissinger, newest members of the Bend city police
lorce. Wednesday night they picked up a couple ot young men
, wno were making a good start on a career of burglary and
24 hours later they took up two men identified as convicts es
caped from the Washington state prison. That's a good record
in any man's town and it marks tnese two as fortunate addi
tions to the Bend staff.
In connection with the alert action of these two officers
on Thursday night we think that two news items from today's
Oregonian are interesting. Here they are with heads that we

Maynard, alias Harry Minton,

Thomas L. Springer, 2a, who
are said to have escaped from
the Washington state peniten

early Friday as they were found
asleep in the cab of a truck in a
local terminal. The duo had
been released from the Wasco

day after serving a brief sen

The Eugene Register-Guard says that "There is still some
dispute over the meanings of the "Atlantic Charter" but the
prevalent opinion is that they are whatever Uncle Joe wants
and thinks." The thing reminds us of the Cheshire cat that
disappeared before the eyes of

A PURITAN VILLAGE IN
1680
VI
Mistress Rebecca Walling sel
dom paid any attention to lecture
day, but Captain Walling felt that,
as a man of public importance in
the community, It was his duty to
appear. So fairly early in the
morning he left his house, accom
panied by his daughters, Harriet
and Comfort, and proceeded
gravely along the wide street to
the village green. Harriet endeav
ored to look as pale as she could,
but without much success. Before
leaving home she studied her face
in the mirror, and was disap
pointed when she saw that she
still had the ruddy, red-cheeked
complexion of a hearty milkmaid.
Maybe the milk, vinegar and pear
treatment was not much good, she
reflected.
Anyway, Oliver Hillman liked
her just as she was, and that was
a pleasant thought.
, As Watstill Walling walked
slowly toward the meetinghouse
he was wondering what he would
say when called upon to speak.
He seldom spoke on these occa
sions, for the minister was sup
posed to do all the talking, but
the subject of -today's lecture, or
sermon, was "Moses as a Law-,
giver," and Mr. Goodwin had told
mm tnat ne could tie called on to;
say something, as the town's mag-1
lstraie, alter the lecture.
What could he say? He realized;
his own shortcomings; he was not
a philosopher, or a deep thinker;
ne was a doer.
But he would have to say some
thing. The Puritan code was based
qn the Mosaic Law. There were
only twelve offenses punishable
hy death In Massachusetts, just
the same as In the law of Moses,
while at that very time there were
two hundred or more offenses
that called for the death penalty ;
in England.! hat is worth talking,
about, he reflected,
Lecture day, to his way of think
ing, was just a waste of time. The
Sabbath was a worklcss day a
day of rest and one day a week
was enough, he thought. With no,
ll-nrlf rlnnn in nith..: thn SuKh;,lli
or lecture day, the Puritans had a
five-day work week, and Captain
Walling thought this pampering
of the working class had gone too
far.

tain's talk In the meetinghouse

She was soon joined by Oliver
Hillman. They looked first at the
three men In the stocks. One of
them had a card which said "Blas
phemer" across his breast. The
second man was a Quaker who
had been sentenced to spend the
day in the stocks, then be whipped
on his bare back and expelled
from the colony. Although there
was an official watcher, a con
stable standing near by to keep
watch over the prisoners, small
boys in the crowd of onlookers
picked up pieces of sod and threw
them at the Quaker. He tried to
dodge missiles by ducking his
head, but he had not dodged them
all for his hair and clothes were
covered with dirt. Whenever a clod
hit him in the face there was a
roar of laughter from the crowd.
The third man In the stocks had
no ears; they had been cut of 1
long ago, evidently, as the scare
had healed. In the middle of ,We
forehead the letter "P" Was
burned. It stood for "perjurer."
Harriet turned her head sadly
and said to Oliver Hillman, "Oh,
it is awful. I feel faint." Young
Mr. Hillman took her arm at once
to lead her away, and they went
along slowly, with Comfort fol
lowing them. They stopped now

Harriet invited her friend Olivet
to come nome with them and havt
dinner. "But you must take pot
luck," she said. "We have nothing
special." In reply he remarkec
that her company was enough foi
him, and better than any dinner.
After this exchange of amenities
they made their way across the
green to seek Captain Walling at

? VLET'S CRACK THE MAPLEljL jK
Washington
Column
By Peter Edson
(NEA SUM Correspondent)
In the closing days of any ses
sion of congress, legislators fre
quently resort to maneuvers
which, for lack of a better name,
must be called just plain trickery
to put over their pet peeves and
projects. Lame ducks sing long
and mournful swan songs to vent
their spleen on those elements of
the electorate for which they
blame their defeat. Efforts are
made to crowd through such har
dy perennials as the St. Lawrence
seaway project. And disguised fili
busters are launched in feeble ef
forts to stop such things as ratifi
cation of the president's six nom
inees for assistant secretaryships
in the state department.
All such stuff is considered fair
play and a part of the congres
sional rigmarole. The trickery
comes in more specific words and
deeds. Here are two typical ex
amples. First, the so-called 'land grant"
railroads have been lobbying for
years to secure repeal of the law
which now requires them to haul
government freight at about half
the rates of ordinary shippers.
The law goes back to the 1850's
when pioneering railroads were
given big acreage in the west to
promote settlement. The railroads
agreed to it. It wasn't obnoxious
when the government had little
stuff to be hauled, but in these
war times when most of the
freight the railroads haul is gov
ernment goods, the half fare
mounts up.
Legislation to amend the land
grant law has actually been intro
duced in congress by Representa
tive Lyie ti. Boren of Seminole,
Okla. It hasn't had much of a
chance, but Senator Henrik Ship
stead of Carlos, Minn., in the clos
ing days of the 78th congress in
troduced an amendment to the
Boren bill which, if adopted, would
nullify the whole business. Ship
stead simply proposed that the re
peal should not go into effect un
til all of the railroads' own freight
rate differentials were removed.
That would mean never.
Second, another smart trick
which almost got through was the
attempt by Senator Burnet R.
Maybank of Charleston, S. C, to
tack an amendment onto the 1945
farm crop insurance bill. May-
bank's amendment had nothing
1 rnco 4UA c
W ft
V. "StVai
at all to do with crops or Insur
ance, either. Its aim was to permit
federal reserve banks to deduct
from any check a percentage
charge for Its collection, the larg
er the check the greater the
amount deducted for Its collec
tion. The federal reserve board
has ruled that this is no longer
permissible, and Senator May-
I bank had previously Introduced a
P um - U k. .... I n
separate um tu jjeniut uaiitva iv
continue the charges. By introduc
ing the substance of this bill as an
amendment on the crop insurance
bill, the senator apparently
thought' it would have a better
chance of going through. Fortun
ately, a majority of the senators
saw through the scheme and
voted it down.
