li.. 2 Heppner Gazette Times, January 14, 1943 eiiB Washington, D. C, Jan. 13, A reader of this column, a farmer, is not impressed with Mr. Roosevelt's idea that a 40-hour week is about enough for a working man in a war industry, although 48 is O. K. if time and a half is paid. The farmer writes that he and most of his neighbors put in 98 hours a week, and the president is not sug gesting that they knock off when they feel fatigue. The writer says he had a farm with dairy cows. He is up at 5:30, has to milk his cows and do chores until evening, then milk the cows again and if he is through by 7:30 he considers him self lucky. His night milking is done by electric light and because of the dimout regulations he has to cover all cracks in the barn to pre vent a ray of light from being seen outside or be subject to reprimand or worse from the air raid wardens. There is no day off for the dairy man; it is a seven day week. In view of this constant labor the farmer says he is not in sympathy with the war-time worker who must have his relaxation periods and doubts whether the boys from Washington and Oregon the old 41st division, who are battling the Japs are or dered by their commanders to cease firing during an attack be cause they are woarj and should have a rest. About the time that Bernard Ba ruch called in th? press and an nounced that ho had distributed $1,000,000 in war bonds to various charities the national capital was buzzing with the story of a magni ficent banquet which Baruch gave to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hopkins at the Carlton hotel, a few blocks from the White House where the Hopkins live, and a short distance from La Fayette square, where on nice days Baruch sits on a bench to transact business. When Mrs. Hopkins was married at the White House recently Baruch asked her what she wanted and she replied, "a party." The banquet was the de layed honeymoon present. Mrs. Hop kins was told by the multimillion aire to select the menu, and she went the limit. In ordinary times the banquet would not have raised comment, but with a war on and restrictions on food and a call to the people to make sacrifices it has given the gossips something to talk about. Th-5 English are hoping that con gross gives the president control over immigration. England is crowded with refugees from Hitler controlled countries of Europe. A titled Englishwoman ,in the nat ional capital, says that the presi dent promised he would bring them into the United States if England would keep them a couple of years. She does not give the authority for her statement. Notwithstanding the dangers of travel on the Atlantic alien refugees have been pouring into the United States on practi cally every passenger boat making an Atlantic port and in some fash ion manage to satisfy the immigra tion inspectors, for thousands are admitted without difficulty. It has been proposed that this power be given the president, with the string that all refugees return to their naive land six months after the war terminates. In ef fect this would sus pend the immigration law. Little publicity is being given ef forts of the new deal to provide jobs for the lame duck congress men who were defeated last Nov ember. But the lame ducks are be ing slipped into the war depart ment, department of justice, office of war information, and other ag encies ;iywhere there is a place vacant or a job that can be cre ated. There is still nothing in sight, however, for the defeated congress men from the Pacific northwest and their prospects are very poor. Man power is disappearing from the postal department. Thousands of letter carriers have been drafted and almost anyone eligible to take a civil service examination is of draft age, making it difficult to fill vac ancies. Upshot is that one delivery a day is the practice in many communities. Inquiries have been received as to whether the federal government has any funds available to under write search for oil in the north west. The government has no mon ey for this purpose, but explains that it is interested in efforts to bring in new oil fields. Oil in com mercial quantities has never been found in Oregon. Government, laboratory in Utah is experimenting with clays from Oregon to determine their alumina content and reports thus far are pleasing. If the clays are of super ior quality they will be used in northwest aluminum plants, tend ing to make these plants perma nent and independent of the baux ite deposits of Dutch Guiana. ....Illlllllllt.fr-tt....

Mrs. America eets the War New shopping habits are ahead for Mrs. America when point ra tioning of processed foods is intro duced sometime in February with the use of War Ration Book two. The new system of rationing wil mean budgeting of points as well as money for American homemak ers, and apparently it will result in less impulsive buying since a given amount of points must last over the ration period. Canned, bottled and frozen fruits and vegetables, fruit and vegetable juice, dried fruits and all canned soup will be included in the new rationing program. With the new system of rationing, low point value will be given to foods which are relatively plentiful w ule high values will be given to those that are scarce. Since housewives willbe able to get more for points by buying foods with low point values, it is expected that the de mand will be relieved for the very scarce foods . If you're shopping for a used vacuum cleaner, you're lucky be cause the office of price adminis tration has safeguarded you from paying inflated prices. A new price regulation resulted in an average reduction of four to five dollars less for most models of used cleaners than had been charged before it be came effective on Jan.. 7. The reg ulation also sets up a standard which must be met by sellers of re built machines. All rebuilt mach ines must' have a one-year guaran tee, according to the regulation. Time will tell but indications are that Mrs. America's search for an alarm clock may soon produce a victory model. Since the manufacture of alarm clocks was prohibited by a WPB order .members of the indus try have met with government of ficials to study the WPB suggestion for a victory model. This would be designed to use the least amount of copper and brass in movement pails, and a nonmetal case. But Mrs. America may not be so lucky once the present supply of wrist watches is gone. Neither wrist watches nor pocket watches have been consid ered with the same concern as the alarm clock.. Should manufacture of watches be resumed at all it would probably be only to use the present inventory of movement parts. If any meal planners are labor ing under the impression that ex isting meat shortages in various parts of the country are due to the amounts being sent to our British and Russian allies, President Roose velt's report to congress on Lend Lease operations certainly should correct that mistaken idea. Rather it is the need of our own armed forces and increasing meat de- CHURCH OF CHRIST Martin B. Clark, Minister. Bible school, 9:45 a. m. A class for everyone.

The president"s Lend-Lease report revealed that more than 99 percent of our year's supply of beef, veal, lamb and mut ton has been kept right at home for civilians or sent to our own armed forces here or abroad. Eighty-seven percent of the year's pork supply has gone for our own use with the remaining 13 percent ex ported to our Allies. But the in crease in pork production was suf ficient to take care of exports and still provide a normal supply. How ever, fighting men eat twice as much meat as civilians. Although sewing machines have gone to war, there's a pretty good chance of keeping those on hand in good condition. There has been an extension of production of repair parts for domestic sewing machines by the WPB and needles are in Continued on Page Seven 4, .
