Each mem ber, aa he returns from the holi day vacation, has talked to con stituents and a summary of these conversations V* ¿elated to other members; and that is how the con- greatinen manage to gain a cross- section of public seitim ent in the Untied States.

That l’ a foregone conclusion. In the m at ter of ‘fuB eosployTOent" with a guarantee ( supposedly) by the governm ent th a t th ere will be a job for everyone who wishes to work, the constituents, as a rule, regarded it a s hooey, according to impressions gained by the con gressmen. There is no demand for the federal governm ent to « tart another WPA. As a m atter of fact, unemploy m ent is not as serious a s labor leaders were predicting a few m onths ago. They forecast an arm y of unemployed of 10,000,- 000, but the statisticians now de clare th a t there are scarcely 4,000,000 out of a job or seeking •work. Millions of women who were in w ar industries have returned to th eir homes and are no longer in the labor m arket. A couple of million youngsters, pressed into service a s laborers, ere back in school, and the men of 00. years are not able to compete atfitinthe men of 40 or 46 and they are, or wiU be, drawing their social se- rity benefits. And Navy Authorities Discussion of insurance, surplus property, veterna’e prefernce and loans waa on the bill of fare for the January m eeting of the county V eteran’s committee which was held Tuesday morning. Col. George Sandy of the state Selective Service office was present and answered many of the ques tions asked by veterans present. I t w u urged th a t all veterans keep their government insurance fo r a t least eight years. As be fore it is likely th a t the penod in which one may retain term in surance will be lengthened by a- mendmenXs. The surplus property problems a re growing instead of being les sened and few veterans have ob tained the surplus m aterial they desire. Changes are. being made in the m anagement of surplus property merchandising and this effort is toward simplification. The new agency th a t » expected to handle most o f the properly is the W ar Assets Corporation, which will be an adjunct of the the RFC or the Departm ent of Commerce. Not much surplus property has been put on the m arket so far and m ost of th a t has been of low val ae for farmers*n bs area. More is be coming available every week. A Section of the procurement act, under which the arm y and navy (bpys property, m akes it possible for them to seM direct to connectors or dealers w ithout us ing the su tp h js D rrperty law a t all Unlefw this can be amended there may be much of such property th a t is sold direct. Five-year-old Donald Anderson of Prineville, a 1948 victim of in fantile paralysis, is shown a copy of the national March of Dimes poster which bears two pictures of him. The posters are beu < displayed throughout the nation to emphasize the need fo r public support in the fight against polio- VETS GET NEW CARS Veterans may buy 25 percent of the cars made under Kn agreem ent made by m anufacturers. Dealers will sell to veterans needing a car, when and if cars are available of course. Wallace May, AAA chairman, reported that veterans have a de finite perference in purchase of farm equipment, excluding track layer tractors. The county AAA committee must issue a certificate of necessity for veterans when the veterans show th a t they need equipment and cannot obtain; new or used equipment suitable to. their needs. This ruling is made by the Departm ent of A griculture by executive order.

City Council Contracts For Clothing For Reconstruction o f City Auditorium The city council of Moro, in special meeting Tuesday night, voted to s ta rt immediately wiUi a program to make the old Legion hall a suitable meeting place tu r public gatherings. The plan, made and presented by courtcttfntii, WWtfth, Knnsman and Kenny, includes putting a partition in the fro n t of the pre sent atage. The large room will then be 66 x 49 feet. The ceiling will be lowered to 16 feet and the entire interior surface covered w ith ply wood in its lower part and firtex in the upper p art of the walls and ceiling. New floures- cent lighting will be installed. A set of swinging doors will be installed a t the main entrance way. On the other side a small closet would provide space for equipment. Although no bids were made for painting a complete job of painting and kalsoming the in terior is planned as a p a rt of the program . The stage p a rt of the building will be 49 x 23 feet. At some la te r time it is possible, th at if com m unity in terest is sustained, this will be lengthened and made vnto a picture house suitabet for show ing of moving pictures or other use as a theater. For the present heating will be by oil stove. Cost of the project as outlined a t present will be >15 7.40 ac- eordfag to the bide' oksrnd. *>m« adjustm ent may be necessary, but it will have no m ajor effect on the total. * Hotel Coffee Shop Program For Clubs Mrs George Moorhead, State President of Oregon Federation of Women’s clubs has ju st returned from attending the board of di rector’s meeting held a t the Stat- ler lintel.

Lapse of the club was due to the dosing of the hotel dining room and the absence of many of its members to duties held more im portant by the United States or Henry Kaiser. Reorganization will take up the m ajor p a rt of this first meeting after the war. New comroittes wiH be named, a new secretary chosen to fill the spot left by the resigna tion of C. V. Belknap,' and new members will be welcomed to take the place of those departed. There a re 45 names on the r**ll. Not more than th a t number con be accommodated in the present dining room. Therefore, those de siring to attend m ust make their desires known by Tuesday evening to either Mr. W right or to Lloyd Johnson, of the dining room at the hotel. Officers of the club other than Mr W right, are W. Ray Blake, vice-president, Leon Huhh&nd, sec retary, (replaced by Mr Belknap 1 and M. M. Oveson and J. K. Mc Kean, hold-over directors and W. T. Balsdger, G. G. Updegraff, and Giles L. French, directors elected a t the January meeting of 1943 for a two year term . I t is probable, say officers of the club, th a t there will be a move to provide for the transac tion of some serious - business through the medium of the ex isting organisation, or the for mation of a separate group. to interest itself in county-wido pro blems, some of which are press ing. Lack of attention to public affairs during w ar time has made H m andatory th at some work be done. TOWN TEAM WINS The local town team of basket ball players downed the Maupin team Tuesday night by the de cisive score of 50 to 31. This gives the locals an even break in the win column it having won two and the same number. Next Tuesday night the boys will play the GoldendaAe American Legion team a t the school house. • a S Court StciTts Yoar By Making Appointments CLAIMS PRESENTED AGAIN tal station for 5 years, $201.00; ST SHERMAN «COUNTY, ORE May & Son, board of prisoners, GON GENERAL AND ROAD $14.16; Standard Oil Co., of Calif., FUNDS FOR DECEMBER 1945 expense of official car for May, AND APPROVED JANUARY $2.34; Dr« Morse A Moore, insane 1946 TERM G F COUNTY COURT examination of Frank Reeder, $5.00; The American Asbestos GENERL FUND Naomi Van Gilder, County Trea" Products Co., courthouse expense, surer, General assistance $14.66; $28.00; Wily W.
