Prices
The Office of Price Administra
tion froze manufacturers, wholesale
and retail prices of plumbing fix
tures and of 44 common household
electrical appliances, all at March
30 levels. Ceilings were also set on
wholesale prices of bond, ledger,
book and plain and fancy cover pa
per and bristols, and on producers
quotations for Pennsylvania anthra
cite coal. The Agriculture depart
ment said the retail cost of food
is now 15 above the 1935-39 aver
age, but is still below the 1929 level.
Civilian Defense
Civilian Defense Director Landis
said Axis air raids on American war
industries this spring are "entirely
possible." He said "it is worth a
dozen bombers to the Germans to
wreck vital industries, even in the
heart of the country." Mr. Landis
said $20 million of OCD funds have
been transferred to build facilities
for manufacture of civilian ' gas
masks. First shipments of helmets,
arm bands and other equipment for
air raid wardens and auxiliary fire
men and police were sent to more
than 40 Atlantic and Pacific coast
cities.
The Armed Forces
The Senate passed and sent to the
House a bill granting pay increase
from $30 a month to $42 for privates
and apprentice seamen, and provid
ing proportional increases for other
classes of enlisted men in the arm
ed forces. The Post Office depart
ment issued regulations for grant
ing of free first-class mailing priv
ileges for all ranks of the armed
forces. The Senate passed and sent
to the House a bill eliminating re
strictions on marriage of Army and
Navy officers during the war. The
President signed legislation to per
mit the War department to recruit
..American technicians serving in for
eign armed forces and to pay them
more than $21 a month during the
first four months."
The Navy department said meet
ings have been arranged in 35 states
between April 0 and 17 to acquaint
educators with tlie Navy Officer
IProotiwiment program under which
BC0 college freshmen and soph
omores will be recruited annually.
The students will be enlisted as ap
prentice seamen and allowed to re
main in school at least to the end of,
the second year. About 35,000 will
be selected each year for further
training leading to commissions as
ensigns in the Naval Reserve.
The House passed and sent to the
Senate an $18 billion War appro
priation bill, providing almost $7
billion for military airplanes. The
Senate passed and sent to the House
a Naval Public Works bill to pro
vide a billion dollars for expansion .
in aircraft and storage facilities.
The War department ruled officers
and enlisted men, except those of
the regular Army, may campaign
for and hold political office, if such
activity does not interfere with mil
itary duties. Selective Service head
quarters instructed local boards to
start classification of February 16
registrants, and to prepare to fill
the Army's June call, and possibly
the May call, from these men and
the earlier registrants. SS head
quarters also issued instructions to
all local boards for registration of
an estimated 13,500,000 men between
45 and 64 on April 27.
The War Front
The Navy reported as of April 4
Arthur ML Geary, who has filed
his declaration for republican nom
ination for United States senator,
states that according to the state
wide straw vote which he has taken
the majority of Oregon citizens de
sire that Senator Charles L. Mc
nary be defeated for re-election,
and that "if the election were to
morrow" they would vote for Arthur
M. Geary in preference to Senator
. McNary.
"My life long specialty has been
ocean, rail and highway transporta
tion, and my life long .specialty has
not been 'politics,' 'fence-straddling'
and 'vote-getting'," continued Geary.
"My repeated visits to and study
of many foreign and domestic ports
and their facilities should make me
helpful in coping with transporta
tion, our chief 'bottleneck' in win
ning this war.
"At this time it is highly import
ant that congress display itself more
by action than by words. Delay in
debate and failure to take prompt
and definite stands invite further
disaster."
total Japanese losses inflicted by

ships sunk, 13 possibly sunk and 22
damaged; 48 non-combatant ships

ed all contracts have been awarded
for the 23 million deadweight tons
of merchant shipping nearly 2,300
cargo ships and tankers which the
President has set as the 1942-43 goal.
The Senate passed and returned to
the House a bill enlarging the war
risk provisions of the Merchant Mar
ine act to allow insurance of foreign
as well as of domestic ships.
Agriculture
The Department of Agriculture
said it had purchased more than
$800 million worth of farm com
modities, totaling more than 7,500
million pounds, during the first year
of the department's expansion pur
chase program March 15, 1941, to
March 15, 1942. More than half of
all purchases were for meat, dairy,
and poultry products. Most pur
chases were for lend-lease ship
ment The Agriculture department re
ported prices of all farm products
combined were 99 percent of parity
on March 15, 1942, and 46 above
the 1909-14 average. The Commod
ity Credit Corporation reported it
has contracted for the sale, during
the period ending April 30, of about
5,500,000 bushels of corn and about
240,000 bushels of wheat to be pro
cessed into industrial alcohol.
4-H Mobilization
Under Way This Week
- Mobilization of all 4-H clubs in
the United States is under way this
week to meet the need of the war
emergency program.
All 4-H club mmbers are being
called upon to reaffirm their pledge
to devote their head to clearer think
ing, their heart to greater loyalty,
their hands to larger service and
their health to better living for their
club, community and county. They
are being called upon to increase
production of food items, to give ad
ditional assistance to community ac
tivities, especially those related to
national defense, and devote addi
tional time to their club meetings to
studying the principles of democ
racy. With over 1,600,000 club members
enrolled in 4TH club projects thru
out the United States, we have a
program that very definitely affects
the future thinking of the people of
our nation, states C. D. Conrad,
county agent, and through this or-
NOTICE OF FINAL ACCOUNT
Notice is hereby given that the
undersigned administratrix of the
estate of Harry M. Archer, de
ceased, has filed her final .account
of her administration of said es
tate with the County Court of the
State of Oregon for Morrow County
and that said Court has fixed Mon
day the 11th day of May, 1942, at
the hour of 10:00 o'clock A. M. of
said day as the time for hearing
objections to said final account and
the settlement of said estate and all
persons having objections thereto
are hereby required to file the same
with said Court on or before the
time set for said hearing.
Dated and first published this 9th

ganization we aim to develop better
farmers, homemakers and Ameri
can citizens.
Learning by doing is the princi
ple on which 4-H club work is
founded and the boys and girls are
learning to produce by producing.
They are learning democratic prin
ciples by practicing these principles
at the 4-H club meetings, Conrad
adds.
Because of the importance of farm
home gardens this year for insuring
green vegetables for the family and
relieving commercial production and
shipping facilities for the army and
allied nations, there has been a large
increase in 4-H garden club mem
bers. Prior to this year, Conrad
states, there has been no 4-H garden
club members in the county and to
date there have been 26 boys and girls
enrolled in the garden program and
there may be more. There will also
be an increase in the production of
meat animals by 4-H club members
in Morrow county this year. There
are several new livestock club mem
bers and the older club members
are increasing the size of their pro
jects. Conrad states that one of the best
ways that 4-H club members can
aid with the all-out production pro
gram is for them to do a little bet
ter job of the things they have been
doing in their 4-H club work.
