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.

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-

sible for cutting our meat supply
thinner at home. 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

It is dangerous to the cause of free

Central Market being the best place
to trade can be verified without question.
Extra good line of all kinds of canned

will have enough to tide over until
rationing goes into effect.
