OUR DUTY TO VOTE
Heppner, Ore.
Oct. 28, 1942
To Editor of Gazette Times:
May I have space in your paper
the voters of Morrow county to go
this week to remind and urge all
to the polls and vote.
This is our duty and it is a
great privilege. The people in this
country I believe, are fighting on
the home fronts to remain free,
which, involves the right to vote
as we please.
I believe our two party system
a far better way that the way of
the Nazis, Facists and the Commu
nists who believe that free voting
is out cf style, because they be
lieve there can only be one united
government headed by one man
If you believe that their way is
best, then "stay home,'" do not
vote. But if you believe in our
form of American governments,
then go to the polls and vote.
Men have fought and died and are
fighting and dying this very day to
protect our right to do this.
I would like to urge the voters
throughout this nation to exercise
their sovereign right more carefully
than ever before. If you love your
country, seek to know the men and
their policies who are going to gov
ern it for us. Let us not forget to
vote Nov. 3.
A voter who loves her country
and who is deeply grateful for all
the privileges we have.

Mrs. America
Meets the War
Editors note: War touches
every home and every citizen.
This column, based on official
government information and
prepared by the Office of War
Information, shows how the
war will effect Mrs. America
and her home.
Pennies from heaven are not
sought by the U. S. mint, al
though the coppers stored away in
your "piggy bank" will be more
than welcomed. Turning your pen
ny savings into war bonds and
stamps will be helping save tons of
metals vital to the war. In order to
conserve -strategic materials, the
government has curtailed produc
tion of pennies. So the more one
cent pieces that return to circula
tion, the less demand for new coins.
And the pennies add up. If each
family were to return to use just
100 one -cent pieces, it is estimated
that the increased national supply
would save more than 1,000 tons of
copper.
Oh, lady, spare the can opener as
a contribution to the war effort.
The war production board is urg
ing housewives to reduce purchases
of canned goods by one container
a week to make available tons of
steel and tin for containers carry
ing food to the armed forces and
Allies. If every homernaker would
participate in a "one-can-less-per
week" drive, it is figured that
nearly 190,000 tons of steel, over
2600 tons of tin and about 77 tons
of rubber would be saved.
Cutting down on the purchase of
canned foods, should not mean less
food for Mrs. America's family.
While pantry shelves have fewer
commercially canned foods, buy
fresh vegetables and fruits when
ever they are in season. And then
to further increased foods avail
able for civilian use this winter
store, can or dry the fall season's
surplus of fresh fruits and vege
tables. And here's a thrifty sugges
tion save imperfect fruits and ve
getables too. These can be made
into peach and apple butter, or
canned as assorted cut-up fruits
for salads and for fruit cups, or as
mixed vegetables for winter soups.
Mrs. America will be able to get
three pounds of sugar on var ra
tion stamp No. 9, but it must last
her from November 1 through Dec
embar 15. Stamp No. 8 will not be
valid after midnight October 31.
When figuring out the family's
weekly quota of meat under the
share-the-meat plan, don't count
children in for tjhe regtular 2.5
pound per person allowance.- The
food requirements committee sug
gests that children under six re
ceive three-fourths of a pound of
meat, beef, pork, veal, lamb or
mutton, in meals during the week.
And the youngster between the
ages of six and 12 should be allot
ted 1.5 pounds of these meats
regularly.
Rent your spare room to war
workers and you'll be helping to
speed war production. The national
housing administration reports that
war production already is being af
fected by the lack of decent liv
ing quarters for workers. The de
mand for housing has become so
ungent that in more than 50 over
crowded war production centers
the government plans to lease pri
vately owned homes and buildings
or remodeling into accommodations
for war workers. The converted
properties will be rented and man
aged by Uncle Sam for the dura
tion, and then will be returned to
their owners within a reasonable
period after the end of the war.
Remember, Mrs. America that
you will not be eligible for gaso
line when nation-wide rationing
begins if you own more than five
tires for any one car. And if this
is the case, turn in the extra tires
regardless of their condition, keep
ing the best for your car. Just call
the Railway Express nearest your
home to have excess tires picked
up. They may either be given or
sold to the government. And it is
important to note the serial num
bers on the five tires you keep
since these will be required on
your application for a mileage ro
tion. Serial numbers re indented in
the tire wall, never raised.

From where I sit . . . (
ly Joe Marsh
Last Saturday night we were set
tin around Jeb Ciowell's house,
and from upstairs we hear the
squawks these Croweil youngsters
put up while their Ma was dunkin'
'em in soap and water. Causes Jeb
to comment:
"Just shows how times change.
Used to be a lav here in America
that nobody could take a bath
without a doctor's prescription!"
. Then we got talking about the
funny laws some people have put
'through in this country like the
state where they made it against
'the law to wake a man up if he's
sleeping on the railroad tracks.
"Railroad law I once heard
about," says Basil Strube, the sta
tionmaster, "said when two trains
meet at an intersection, neither
can proceed until the other one
has gone ahead."
"How could that be a law?"
asks Pete Swanson. "That just
don't make sense."
"Lots of laws don't make sense,"
says Jeb. "Why just think! We're
livin' in a land where most folks
hold for tolerance and understand-.
ing. And yet it wasn't so long ago
we had a law of Prohibition. Ac
count for that, if you can."
Well, he had us there. Here's
America where we set so much
store on secin' the other fellow's
point of view havin such a law.
Now that it's all over, it's hard to
realize how people put up with
a law like that, even as long as
they did.
From where I sit, a man's got i
every right to enjoy a satisfyin'
glass of beer when he wants to
quench his thirst. Beer's a friendly
drink. It's a drink of moderation,
too. And most folks even the ones j
that don't drink beer themselves
are tolerant enough, nowadays, to
respect the rights of folks who do.
I reckon Jeb was right we've
had some mighty strange laws in,
this country.
