A Worthy Call
An endless chain of calls for funds, salvage
materials and the like, as well as calls for sacri
fice of many things we have deemed essential
to our way of life faces every American. We
have become accustomed' to the various fund
drives and have adjusted our incomes to make
it possible to contribute regularly, realizing that
to do otherwise would weaken the war effort.
For a year and a half our armed forces have
contacted the enemy on many fronts. There have
been casualties more than most of us will ever
know about and large numbers of the wounded
are being returned to the mainland for hospital
ization. Heavily increased facilities are being
taxed to give the wounded and sick proper care,
.particularly in the 'convalescent stage. Help is
needed in providing comforts that will speed re
covery and lessen suffering while doing it. When
your boy has had a leg or arm shot away, or the
side of his face torn off, or had his body filled
with shrapnel from an exploding shell, he deserves
every comfort that can be provided. In most cases,
the things needed to cheer him up and lessen his
suffering are inexpensive and not a few of them
can be produced in the average home.
In Walla Walla the McCaw general hospital has
been turned over for army service. It is a well
equipped unit insofar as regular service is con
cerned but needs additional furnishings to proper
ly care for convalescents. Pillows lots of them
to cushion wheel chairs or injured limbs; bright,
cheerful curtains for the sunrooms; magazines
and books current issues, not ( discarded ones
and numerous other items which the hospitial man
agement may suggest.
Morrow county has been asked to furnish one
sunroom.. This "includes curtains for 16 windows
and two dors, draperies, pictures, comfortable
chairs, settees, plants or ferns, pedestals, ash trays,
foot stools or ottomans, card tables, library table,
magazine stands, lamps, including pin-ups, and
rugs. This looks like a big order but the total cost
should not exceed $250. We could spend our mo
ney to no better advantage than assisting these
boys on thie road to rehabilitation.
Morrow county is the only one of nine in the
Blue Mountain district that has not already ful
filled its obligation. No reasonable demand has
been rejected by our people and there is no reason
to doubt that we will go over the top in this matter.
O
Cooperative Effort Justified
Accomplishments of the Morrow County Grain
Growers, Inc. since reorganization three years ago
fully justify the efforts of farmers and stockmen
to better themselves. The going has not been easy
for the organization and there have been times when
i; seemed almost futile to carry on. But for the de
termiation of the officals and numerous mem
bers it might have gone by the board, and what a
loss that would have been. :,
When reorganization was affected it was realized
and was the objectve of Morrow County Grain
Growers, Inc. to expand its storage and grain
handling facilities. To make that a reality involved
considerable fund- of money, yet the money was
subscribed, purchases of existing facilities were
consummated and with the harvesting of bumper
crops in 1941 and 1942, additional storage had to
be provided and this resulted in erection of a
large elevator at Lexington, as well as enlargement
of warehouse space at other points.
Although a considerable number of the coun
try's agriculturists are included in the membership
of the copoerative and may be termed the pioneers
of the movement, many other wheatmen and stock
men could be counted as members with credit and
profit to themselves. The cooperative is a going
concern. The original members have taken the
risk and assumed the obligations. The pioneering
is over with and the time has arrived to make it a
full blown virile organization. To those who are
skeptical about cooperative movements let it be
understood that the Gazette Times is not trying
to sell you on the idea, but we do suggest that you
study the report of the manager and talk it over
with officials and members. If you make your
investigation with an open mind it is doubtful if
you will remain off the band wagon longer.
O
A Broad Subject
"What Heppner Needs" was the principal topic
of discussion before the luncheon forum; Monday..
Some of the town's needs were presented but no
attempt was made to cover the ground completely
as that is something requiring a lot of time and no
small amount of thought. In the matter presented
it would appear that a more cooperative spirit is
the pronounced ' need. Once cooperative action
is realized, most of the, things coming under the
heading of the town's needs will come to fruition.
Until that time arrives nothing more than limited
progress will be accomplished.
No community will progress or expand if it is
content with things as they are. Unless extremely
favored with location and surrounding natural re
sources it is apt to go backward rather than forward.
If our horizon is measured by the tops of the hills
surrounding us our development will reach just
about that far. If we take the viewpoint that the
rest of the world can go hang so long as we get our
share of the wealth we are gradually choking the
life out of our community, or to put it in another
light, if we can spare neither thought nor action
to develop a program for expanding civic and com
mercial life we have arrived at a point where we
go backward.
Wartime conditions have virtually affected our
way of life and countless thousands of workers
have been shifted here and there where their ser
vices are needed. Whether we realize it or not we
are an organized "home front," such a change has
grdually taken place until today the greater part of
our daily life is devoted to promoting the war ef
fort. Regardless of this situation there will be a
tomorrow and today we should be laying the
ground work for a program of expansion that will
keep our community in the running when this ter
rible war has ended. There will have to be less
selfishness and a much broader horizon. There will
have to be a concerted effort to "sell" our town
to outlying districts and interior territory. We will
have to cease thinking about the halcyon days of
yore and make ready to enjoy the golden days of
'the future. To do otherwise would be to state to a
wondering world that we have nothing to look
forward to and might as well fold up.

Mrs. America
Meets the War
June brides setting up house
keeping will find that a new ice
box as precious as it is these days
won't take an unnecessarily large
slice out of the home furnishing
budget. The OPA has set specific
dollars and cents prices on new ice
boxes, and regardless of where one
buys this type of equipment, the
ceiling prices are spelled out model-by-model
and state-by-state- A tag
must be attached to the ice box
giving the make and model,, rated
ice capacity, ceiling price, and sell
ing price, and the tag must not be
removed before delivery of the ice
box to the user. The WPB recently
increased the ice box quota to be
manufactured for civilian use. It
was pointed out that 10 ice boxes
now are being produced from the
same amount of steel that went into
one pre-war model
mm
There should be plenty of every
day dishes for the new bride but not
so many that she can be careless in
dishwashing. The WPB reports that
semi-vitrious chinaware, used for
ordinary household dishes, is being
produced in sufficient quanity to
meet requirements. Although most
of the materials used are non-critical,
future production may be lim
ited by a shortage of manpower and
shipping container.
m
If Mrs. America's family likes pork
she is fortunate because she'll find
good point buys since most pork
cuts remain unchanged in point val
ues. Since there will be less beef
available for civilian consumption
this month than in the past two
months, points for beef have been
increased. So it's a wise Mrs. Am
erica who'll study point charts and
find the many cuts of lamb, veal and
variety meats which have been given
lower point values. In buying hese
cuts most families will continue to
get just about the same amount of
meat for their points as in the last
ration period. New savings in the
cost of meat will be noticed by Mrs.
America after June 21 when the roll
back on beef, veal, lamb and mutton
and fresh pork goes into effect. Pro
cessed and smoked pork cuts wil be
reduced in price on July 5.
a
, When shoes with synthetic and
plastic soles make their appearance
as non-rationed products they'll be
price controlled. The OPA already
has set ceiling prices at the manu
facturers level, and retail prices will
be under the general maximum price
regulation. Plastic, felt, wood and
combinations of cotton and felt are
among the materials used as sole
materials.
Here's a new volunteer job for
women in defending the home front.
Women will be recruited as regular
members of fire guard squads ad
will receive special training to lo
cate and extinguish incendiary
bomb fires while they're small. This
type of home front assignment is
considered by the office of civilian
defense as one of the most difficult
and dangerous volunteer jobs. Wo
men serving on fire guard squads
w.U be protecting their own homes
and families as well as their neigh
bors from fires caused by incen
diary bombs.
