"They wonder," Holman said in a statement, "to what extent the commander in chief has in terfered and is interfering with the work of trained and com pclitent officers on the army general statt and on the staff of the chief of naval operations." The senator said he found dissatisfaction widely expressed because there is no rationing of food in British Columbia but just across the Canadian border in Washington and Oregon there is strict rationing. He said they were dissatisfied with the way lend-lease operations are going and added that reports of spoil age of food, fiber, and manu factured goods excited adverse comment.

The new proposed amendment would give the dis tricts 45 cents a day for school attendance instead of a little over 17 cents. This would only bring Oregon up in line with other west coast states and most of the states in the union, and would not add any more prop erty tax as Oregon's wealth is not on the farms now. School tax data was given out showing the amount of tax voted for all schools in the county, the state school fund and the amounts the districts voted for property tax. In the four East Salem dis tricts this past year the sums voted to run the four schools was $12,279.50 with only $4931. 48 being property tax, and $6348.13 was given the districts from the S.S.S. fund. The traveling gavel was again given to the Swegle PTA unit' for interest in the county coun cil snown by attendance.
