Oregon and devoted to the beat interests of the city and vicinity. ln< ldei.tially, a bulletin just came through notifying us that any parcels received in Miami after January 1st to be sent down here would be held there arid the contents noted. Then a letter would lie written to the ad dressee here in Manaos and we must secure written approval from our department head before the package can be sent to us from 'Miami. It lstrictly a company order because so many people have abused the privile ge of getting parcels down here and order constantly for all clothes anl supplies, even food, to be sent down here and It makes too much cargo, ts the same old story that everyone must suffer the penalties because of the greediness of a few. I am so dis appointed in this new arrangement. We discontinued our newspapers be cause we didn't want to be selfish but others entered subscriptions to daily and Sunday papers from New York and each mall night they carry off great armloads of newspapers which they hardly look at. As u result* We are now w’arned that unless we discontinue our subscriptions to newspapers our privileges will be taken away from us and no one will receive either papers or magazines. 1 don’t blame the comiipny because space must be saved for valuable cargo and parts during war time but you would Imagine imagine the employees would have better ■ sense than to abous a privilege like that, wouldn't you? You can still send the necessary parcels down here but remember that they will be listed (the contents) and held In Miami until we are notified down here, so It Is advisable not to send anything perishable.

"Give a citizen the right to take OPA problems into court when ne cannot get the Price Administrator to act on a problem," said Elisha Hanson to a Congressional Commit tee studying extension beyond June 30 of the Emergency Price Control Act. Hanson spoke for the Safe way Stores. Ho showed that during a whole year he had been unable to get OPA to act finally on a single one of 10 protests, nor could he get them before the Emergency Court of Appeals. To back up his appeal, he exhibited a current page advertisement of his client, offering food, much of It at prices below the ceiling highs allow ed by OPA. He told the story of a grocery company that sells below ceilings on food items when it is Im possible, but which balks when not able to get action from the Price Administrator on Its complaints against discrimination that forces selling below operating costs cn other Items. He showed that Safeway, which bought fresh vegetables and produce directly from growers and performed Its own crating, packing, refrigerat ing and other warehouse functions for its retail outlets, was "denied credit or allowances" for the expense involved in those wholesale functions although they were exactly the same as those on which Jobber* are allowed caedit in performing such services for other retailers. Hanson asked two basic changes in the price control act which seem fundamental to Justice: (1) Action from the Price Administrator on complaints in reasonable time, and (2) recourse to courts for a hearing. Congress Is ‘the last resort of the citizen for protection against official rulings and directives which have the effect of law without Independent court review. Letters to Nephews By Ella II.

He goes to the light post, and sings as if he would burst his throat. The fir tree echoes him, and the honey locust. "Another cabbage gone," grumbled dad us he come» from the garden, "That gopher!

"Well, I would not look at me lifie that, It would serve him Just right, the dirty devil I’m scared to death he will find my potato patch.” We sat at the breakfast table. Dail turned his head to the backroom. ‘1 heard Sisty then say ’I smell bacon’. Lord! I mLsw her." Later, I started to get up from the table, then sat back foolishly. David was heard Jabbering on the front room couch after his nap. I had started to gel him before everything was soaked. That empty ache . . . Robin's lighted, intelligent face . . . No word from them yet. Our pastor reproved his people for their lack of attendance at the morning prayer meeting. "With 12 or 14 churches in this town, there has not been more than 20 people at any one service. I’m ashamed,” he cried seriously. "In a time like this, when we need to humble ourselves and pray . . . You’d better let your dishes set. You’d better let your hay spoil, rather than fall to pray. If we don’t care enough about presen’ at fairs to pray, what do you expect of God ?" That’s the first time I’ve heard reprove or correction from him. More power to him.

It took two years and ten months to build this sixty fifth generating plant of the ayotain. Its completion rounds out a five-year program of conetructlon involving the expenditure of $152.000.000. which has provided ample electriciy and gus for all war Industrie« as well as regular consumers in the com pany's territory. Generally speaking, a resident Maine, Oklahoma or Texas is not particularly interested in the Invest ments cf a company in California. But In this case, taxpayers In every state are Interested. Tile cash that went into this development was not tax money, It wis the private savings of thousands of individuals. The Pit Number 5 plant will pay local and Federal taxes of $300,000 a year. The 05 plants used in the campany* operations, paid local and Federai taxes of $37,224,000 In 1943. Bonneville and Grand Coulee the Columbia River, which swallowed some $300,000.000 of tax funds taken from the 43 states, do not pay a dime of local and Federal taxes. That Is why the opening of a new tax-paying electric project in Cali fornia I* news to all states and to the Federal government which needs such taxes to pay for Its tax-exempt socialised electric projects In other state*, which In turn prevent th« building of tnxpaylng power re- sources.
