Women Playing
Important" Role
In Chemistry
Women are playing an increas
ingly important role in the war
effort and one line of endeavor of
which little is known in this part
of the country is the field of
chemistry. According to Mrs. Wan
da D. Campbell, wife of Arthur
Campbell,' formerly of Lexington,
there is a good field for those who
want to trj:e up thib important
link in the chain of national pre
paration for both offensive and de
fensive operations.
Mrs. Campbell is a junior chem
ist in the government laboratory of
the Wabash River Ordinance Works.
This laboratory, which does chem
ical analysis and research, is in
the inspieetf.on divisiofo of ordi
nance engneering. To equip her
self for this important work she
took a refresher course at Rose
Poytecfuc Institute at Terrfe
Houte, Ind., which regards her as
one of its most outstanding war
training graduates. She is urgent
in an appeal to women who have
aptitude in the subjects offered by
the engineering school to enroll for
training that they may become lab
oratory aids.
Mrs. Campbel majored in chem
istry at the University of Oregon
snd received her MS degree in
physiological chemistry and nutri
tion at Iowa State college. A wo
man of unusual capacities and wide
interests, she diverted her civic,
social and cultural energies into
the channels of war work when
the need aJose for her type of
service.
Mr. Campbell, son of Mr. and
Mrs. W. T. Campbell of Heppner,
is a widely known chemist of the
middle west and has written a
number of books of recognized
merit on scientific subjects.

Hoarding Leads Not
To Good Citizenship
Hoarding not only violates the
tenets of good citizsnship but it can
very easily lead to serious conse
quences for the hoarder, according
to an announcement received today
from the war price and rationing
board, Office of Price Administra
tion. The communication warned that
excess stocks of rationed goods
would have to be declared and the
equivalent numbsr of stamps sur
rendered at registration time, and
tated that severe penalties await
those who fail to comply.
But, such penalties will be mean
ingless if, through hoarding, sup
plies are withheld at this time from
our boys in the armed forces, the
article stated. The department of
agriculture has issued a statement
showing the percentages of Ameri
ca's food that must be diverted from
civilian use under the rationing to
meet military and lend- lease re
quirements. About 50 per cent of
all canned and dried fruits and
vegetables must be diverted from
civilian use for the military.
When these reasons for rationing
are understood by the buying pub
lic, it is asserted, the urge to hoard
will gradually disappear and good
citizenship will prevail.
ANGLIN SEND GREETINGS
TO FORMER NEIGHBORS
A communication from Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Anglin was received too
late for publication last week and
as they sent New Year's greetings
to their many friends here it is
being published this week. Dated
at Yakima) Jan 4 and addressed
to the Gazette Times, the letter
reads as follows:
It has been several months since
we have said "hello" to our dear
friends in your community and
county, so wish to teke this privi
lege of extending to them one and
all our New Year greetings.
We surely miss all the good old
friends there and look forward to
our weeklly visit with them through
the pages of the Gazette Times.
iWe are all well these days and
kept very busy, which is nothing
to be expected in these days of
kjbor shortage.
We have been very busy this
past summer with the Gideon or
ganization having had charge of
the music for them in some 25
meetings in different denomina
tions throughout the city and coun
ty, raising funds, as you know, to
place testaments in the pockets of
our soldier boys. To date some
4,000,000 boys haive been supplied
with these in our armed forces
through the Gideon organization
and the people's cooperation.
Along with this we are assistant
superintendent of the Union Gos
pel Mission of Yakima, a mission
backed by some 25 different church
denominations, and also supervisor
of a division of a large Sears, Roe
buck store of this city. We are en
joying all of this work very much.
Our very best regards to all the
readers and friends and our deep
est sympathy to all who have suffered-
the loss of a loved one.
Your true friends,
The Anglins.
