Production Loans
Available Thru FSA
Loans of cash to meet the usual
harvesting expenses such as gas,
oil, machinery repairs, binder twine,
and so forth, may be obtained by
eligible farmers from the Emergen
cy Crop and Feed Loan section of
the Farm Credit Administration.
This was pointed out today by Field
Supervisor C. A. Riley.
"Such loans are of special inter
est to farmers whose machinery is
in need of repair," said Mr. Riley.
"The abnormal scarcity of materials
and the various priority regulations
make it extremely important for
farmers to plan well ahead to meet
their requirements if they want to
be certain of getting needed parts.
It is by no means too early, there
fore, to make the necessary arrange
ments if credit is needed."
Loans for the purpose of summer
fallowing, as well as for the pro
duction or purchase of feed are also
available to farmers who can qual
ify for this type of short-term em-
ergency credit

Roy Stamp spent from Monday to

and Mrs. J. A. Shoun.
Adren and Calvin Allen and fam
ilies moved up from Portland where

She had been attending school here.

Ladd Sherman and Mr. Bunnell
of the Irrigon school faculty are
lines operating between New York
City and Washington, D. C, were
ordered to pool their services, stag
ger schedules, permit interchange
of tickets and eliminate duplicating

begun a survey of intercity bus and
railroad passenger travel in 100 se
lected cities to determine necessary
adjustments of travel requirements
to available facilities. The Office
requested employers to help reduce
week-end travel by arranging mid
week departure for employees who
plan vacations.
Shipbuilding
The President, in a national Mari
time Day statement May 22, said
"We will perform this near-miracle
of ship production. The nation's
shipbuilding capacity has been in
creased more than 500 percent. That
of itself is an outstanding achieve
ment." War Shipping Administrator
Land said 138 ships have been de
livered into service so far this year,"
approximately 35 percent more than
were delivered in all of last year.
We have reached the stage of de
livering three a day." Maritime Day
was observed also with the mass
launching of 27 cargo vessels.
Housing and Construction
Nineteen building trade unions
signed an agreement with the gov
ernment to stabilize wages on Fed
eral construction for one year at
rates paid under collective bargain
ing agreements in effect July 1, the
Labor Department reported. A seven-man
Wage Adjustment Board,
comprised of Assistant Labor Secre
tary Tracy, three members of the
building trade unions and three rep
resentatives of the government ag
encies involved, will administer the
agreement. The House completed
congrssional action on legislation to
increase from $300 million to $800
million the amount of housing loans
which may be insured by the Federal
Housing Administration. The Fed
eral Public Housing Authority said
it will receive bids in June on con
struction of 31,000 housing units.
Have you ever thought how much
a million dollars really is? Sure is
an awful lot of nice things a fellow
could do with a million dollars ... .
if he had it. A million dollars is a
lot of money.
Just think ... it would take
about three weeks, counting as fast
as you could 24 hours a day, just
to count up to a million.
I read in the paper the other
day that the beer industry pays
more than a million dollars a day
in taxes . . . Federal, State and
local. Every day . . . more than a
million dollars.
I guess the government is glad
to get that help these days, what
with a war to win and pay for.
Of course, not all of that beer tax
money goes to the Federal govern
ment Quite a lot of it goes to the
States and is used for such useful
purposes as public health, emer
gency relief, old age assistance,
education and public welfare.
Farmers surely ought to like the
beer industry, too, from what I
hear. Last year the brewers bought
nearly two billion pounds of bar
ley malt and nearly half a billion
pounds of corn and corn products.
And plenty of rice and hops, too.
That's a lot of farm products.
Back around '33 and '34, when the
tough old depression was hitting
all of us pretty hard, farmers were
certainly glad to sell those extra
crops that beer bought from them.
And come to think of it, when beer
came back it made lots of new jobs
for plenty of other people, too. City
folks and country folks both.
If I hadn't gone in for this writ
ing business, I think I'd like to
have tried my hand at the brewing
business.
I'd like to be making a fine tast
ing beverage that helps the public
treasuries so much and that people
can rightly call the "beverage ,o
moderation." That moderation in
cidentally is another of the fine
things about beer.

Further Restrictions
on Telephone Installations
Are Hecessary to Save Materials
Vital to the War
The latest War Production Board Order further re
stricts the use by telephone companies of materials
essential to the war effort. It restricts the building of
cable or wire lines for the installation of new tele
phones, both business and residence, if more than a
minimum of construction is involved except for
service necessary in the war effort or for public health,
welfare and safety. It requires much wider use of
party-line service.
The reason for these restrictions is to save addi
tional quantities of critical materials used in pro
viding telephone service such as copper, aluminum,
tin, steel, magnesium, zinc, nickel. These materials
are urgently needed for the Nation's planes, tanks,
guns, ships, munitions. They are VITAL TO VIC
TORY. To install one extension telephone may require no
more than 30 or 40 feet of copper wire, but to install
thousands of them takes enough copper to wire a fleet
of bombers.
The immediate effect of these restrictions upon the
public will vary in different localities, depending
upon what, if any, facilities are available. If you
should be unable to secure the service you want, we
know you will understand why. The temporary sacri
fice of your personal convenience will make a worth
while contribution to VICTORY it is a real part of
the price of protecting LIBERTY.
