to follow the original Mormon
precepts who have been convict

plural marriage.

Mrs. America
Meets f he War
"We have defeated one enemy.
We still have two to fight. One,
in the Pacific, more than 7,000
miles from our western shore
another, rieht here at home that
goes by the name 'Inflation'."
This was the realistic statement
issued by OPA's chief, Chester
Bowles, immediately after V-E
day became official. The OPA
spokesman undoubtedly had in
mind individual savings which are
sure to become the target of price
increase pressures resulting from
any careless relaxation of con
trols before all our boys come
home.
Nevertheless, there has. been a
clear indication from Mr. Bowles
and other hold-the-line authorities
in Washington that the limited
horizons on the home front are
beginning to clear. The long-suf-
Auto Production
Plans Discussed
Washington. Mav 1G UPi ,. As
"headers of the automobile indus
try gathered today in Washing
ton for reconversion talks, the
war production board estimated
it would take 15 months from the
day manufacturers started mak
ing passenger cars to reach the
prewar rate of 4,000,000 vehicles a
year. :
In eight months from the time
the Industry gets a green light
civilian cars should be rolling off
assembly lines at the "break-even"
rate, which is 2,000,000 annually,
WPB said.
These estimates were announc
ed as conferences began with the
Industry on problems expected to
arise in partial reconversion,
which may come this summer.
Unemployment Faced
Edward L. Cushman, regional
war manpower director for Mich
igan, told the United Press the
solution to Detroit's current un
employment problem depended
entirely upon- the speed with
which the automobile industry
could resume production of civil
ian cars.

too, may certain classifications
under "B." A limited number of
new cars may be made, together
with some washing machines and
vacuum cleaners. It might be well
for persons solicited for advance
orders and cash deposits for these
last two items to check with their
local war price and rationing
board on prices quoted. Reports
from some areas as long ago as
last fall reveal that unscrupulous
individuals have been working a
lucrative racket in this field.
As you know, OPA does not
control the rationing of scarce
goods. It acts only upon instruc
tions from other Federal agen
cies that control supplies. But,
OPA is an excellent barometer at
the consumer level, for it is
closest to the man-on-the-street
and the housewife-at-the-market.
Thus, today, when Mr. Bowles
says, "In 1945, with a five-dollar
bill, the average housewife knows
she can go to her local store and
buy practically as much food as
she could two years ago because
inflation has been held in check"
it goes without saying that the
OPA has national affirmation of
that fact and is determined to
finish the job with the approval
of Mrs. America.

The new meat controls reach

inspected slaughterers are
aimed to not only increase mili
tary meat supplies which have
fallen off, but to provide better
inter-state distribution of civilian
meat. Non-federally inspected
meat, which may be Just as good
as the federal certified produc
tion, cannot move from state to
state. By a system of production
quotas and the registration of all
slaughterers, OPA has laid the
groundwork to guarantee a larger
supply of meat for residents in
i non-producing meat areas. Farm
siaugnterers are cooperating fully
with their local boards through
cut the nation, it is reported. In
the post-war period the recogni
tion of the importance of the
small farmer meat producer may
well prove profitable to him.

May showers which fell In
Bend this morning caused no lit

and at the same time gave the,

on the east side of Wall street
south of Franklin avenue. Some
motorists lifted the hoods of their I
cars to see whether their batteries 1
were leaking.
But the mystery was cleared'
when City Manager C. R. Reiter!
explained that street crewsmen
were attempting to remove the I
old parking lines from the pnve-l
ment. They were using a pow-!
dered chemical which was sup
posed to remove the paint. They
found that it did not work on dry
pavement, so they took advantage
of the rainfall to make the ex
periment, which Is still In progress.

"PP&L service helped establish
the first frozen food lockers"
says Gus Hansen, Mayor of Dayton, Washington,
and owner of the Dayton Creamery and Ice Works
"One of the nation's very first frozen
food lockers for storing meats and
fresh vegetables was established right
here in my plant in Dayton with
PP&L electric service. In fact, PP&L
engineers helped me work out a lot
of problems to make the installation
possible.
"We use electricity to make butter
and ice cream, to operate a refrigera
tion plant for ourselves, and to pro
vide cold storage locker facilities for
500 families here. One of the first
requirements of such a business is
dependable electric service . . . and
PP&L provides it at low cost.
"I've always found PP&L men on
their toes and ready to help."
Born near Kolding, Denmark, Gus Hansen learned
the buttermaker's trade before he came to America
In 1905. On November 1st of this year he will
observe his 50th continuous year In the creamery ,
Industry.
In 1917 he moved to Dayton and established the
Dayton Creamery & Ice Works. A small steam
engine for "stand-by" power was Included in the
creamery's early equipment. Long since retired,
it was presented to the scrap metal drive shortly
after the beginning of the war.
The business has grown from the operation of a
single 10 h.p. electric motor, and a job for one man,
to one that operates ten motors, ranging up to
15 h.p., and provides ayear-round payroll for twelve
persons. The original 10 h.p. motor is still in use in
the creamery. Today it costs little more to operate
the ten motors than it used to cost for the single
one, due to PP&L's consistent rate reductions.
Long active in civic affairs, Mr. Hansen has
served two terms on the school board ; was elected
to the Dayton city council in 1932; appointed
mayor in 1937, and was recently elected to another
four-year term as mayor.
