Washington, D. C, March 11
Day nurseries established by the
federal government for the bene
fit of mothers working in war in
dustries are blaing set up in Ore
gon. The nurseries several of them
in Portland are being installed
wherever there is a shortage of
manpower and mothers are at work.
Eugene has already been selected
and other cities will have these
facilities. The major part of the
nursery expense is paid by the
government but the maintenance
is expected to be borne by fees
collected from the mothers who
leave their children in these insti
tutions. It is said that on reason
for absenteeism in "war industries
which is causing so much concern,
is that employed mothers take
time off to look after their children
and shop for the household. The
nurseries are presumed to over
come part of this absenteeism
For the 1,596 acres in 50 tracts
bought by the navy department in
Tillamook county for the establish
ment of a lighter than air station,
the price is reported at $263,891.
Most of this land was used by
dairymen and its sale has resulted
in a decreased milk production
through disposal of the cows. These
dairies were wiped out. No report
has been made public as to cost
of the land in Camp Adair pur
chased by the army, and which
also eliminated some dairying. The
Tillamook transaction was inserted
in the Congressional Record.
Wheat farmer Lowell Stockman
has offered a bill in congress to
have every farm boy inducted into
the army service. Stockman would
have these boys given intensive
training for 30 days and then have
the army send them back home.
The farm boys would wear their,
uniform when they went to town,
and in the fields thiey would wear
their army dungarees. The uniform
would attest that they had been in
the service and deferred. In event
of an emergency, such as an in
vasion, the boys would be sum
moned to the colors. The measure
may not gbit anywhere in congress
but it reflects the ideas of a dirt
farmer.
Oregon state legislature was one
of the many sending memorials to
congress to adopt the pay-as- you
go plan for making income tax
payments. The Oregon memorial,
with the others, was turned over
to the ways and means committee
where it was filed. It is expected
that about the middle of July the
committee may evolve some such
installment paying plan. There is
general approval of the Ruml
plan, but most members of the com
mittee have ideas of their own for
modifications, variations and amend
ments. .
Anticipating thousands of wound
ed sailors in the battles ahead, the
navy department is arranging for
60,000 extra beds. Of these, 40,000
are under construction by public
works' but, starting July 1, in the
ensuing 12 months another 20,000
beds must be prepared. If each hos
pital werte to be built with 1,000
beds it would mean 20 immense
buildings. Thus far there is no
intimation as to where any of the
hospitals will' be located, and this
is an opportunity for some com
munity in Oregon to make an
application. The hospitals will not
all be built in coastal communities,
but some will be inland. Sailors
wounded in the Pacific are now
arriving on the west coast for
hospitilization.
Joe Stalin in an "order of the
day" to the Red . army said that
Times, March 1 1, 1943
Russia had carried the fight against
Hitler alone and he asked for a
second front When Stalin said the
Red army had battled alone he fail
ed to rantion that the United
States has been helping him with
2600 fighting planes, 3200 tanks, and
81,000 trucks and jeeps. All this
for the Red army from the United
States. In addition, the Red army
has been and is being fed by Mr.
Whiskers in larger measure than
any other of the United Nations,
as is attested by the Russian car
go carriers taking food from Col
umbia river and Puget Saund ports
and oranges from San Francisco.
And not a cent is being charged
against Russia for this very ma
terial assistance.
Rationing restrictions are so
tough and so many housewives are
finding it difficult to buy food' that
congress is expected to insist upon
some modifications. Housewives
are told they can buy all the fresh
vegetables they wish but, for in
stance, they are being asked to
pay 10 cents for a single tomato.
And Oregon prunes, which have
been so plentiful that the growers
could not get rid of them, require
20 points of the 48 monthly points
for one pound dried.
