An economic trend in the lower house of con gress' has resuted in a genera curtaiment of OWI activities throughout the nation and while we have no fault to find with the representatives for wish ing to cut out unnecessary expenses, we must ex press our personal regret over the loss of this particular column. Perhaps some other service will be devised to aid the weekly papers in their efforts to be of real service in this time of great national stress. -O- Stop, Look Both Ways Don't forget there is. a war on and that there are unusual train movements. This may happen even on branch lines such as the, one serving this com munity. Car drivers will do well to heed the state regulation regarding stopping at railroad crossings or wherever there is a warning sign. Restricted gas sales played a big part in reducing the number of Fourth of July traffic accidents but there still are drivers who grow careless. While holiday accidents have been reduced it does not signify that careful driving should receive all of the credit. There is the matter of light traffic to be considered. Some drivers still try to beat the train to the crossing and that practice is fraught with greater hazards these days than formerly. Practi cally every mainline freight train carries some munitions or straight explosives. A collision with one of these cars, or the wrecking of a portion of the train may lead to serious consequences for the car driver and cause incalculable loss to the war effort. "Stop, look both ways, and proceed with care at grade crossings," is the warning sounded by Secretary of State Bob Farrell, who, like his pre decessor, Governor Earl Snell, is giving the traffic division of his office most serious consideration. Valued Service Canceled In another column of this week's Gazette Times will be found a feature which has held the inter est of readers for the past year or more. If you have been one of those enjoying this column you will want to read every paragraph this week be cause as far as we know it will be the last of "Mrs. America Meets the War." In the humble opinion of the writer, this is one of the most valuable releases .coming out of the Office of War Information. It was mailed out of the Portland bureau of the OWI, was timely, well Just Doing Their Job No small amount of wailing has been heard from those who in times past have been termed "Coat-tail riders" on the administration over some recent acts of the lower house of congress. Prom reports coming out of the national capital it ap pears that the voters in the 1942 election threw out the "rubber stamps" and mandated some in dependent thought and action. Most frequent comment is that politics should be side tracked during the war. That's what the congressmen think, but when they are confronted with the same tactics that have characterized the administration for the past ten years they feel it is up to them to stand their ground. The most rad ical administration supporters cannot honestly complain about the support the president has had in his war program. Congress has stood by him even to the establishment of new "emergency" war bureaus, but when unnecessary sums of mon ey and numbers of new federal employes are in volved the House has revolted. The senate, still largely on the new deal side has reversed some of the House measures, but even the upper house has not been able to take all of the domestic political bushwah. There is no desire to embarrass the adminis tration's war program, but there is a strong senti ment in favor of curtailing domestic expenditures and it will not be surprising if further efforts are made to reduce the number of federal employes outside of the war effort. There will have to be a stopping point some place and the present House of Representatives if actually working to that end will be but doing the job indicated in the Jast election. -O- Morrow county is still in the fore front in the war effort, even to the point of leading off in line of marriage by proxy. Well, anything can happen these strenuous days and the only thing left for us to do is offer congratulations to Marine Capt ain Chester Christenson of Heppner and his bride who will be waiting for his return from the Paci fic battle area. Grange Programs Over State Radios To Be Continued By Mrs. Mary Lundcll (Too Late for Last Week) Morrow county pomona grange met on Saturday. June 2G at lone with Willows grange as host. Mem bers were present from Boardman, Lexingtoji, Rhea creek and lone. Mrs. McFarland, Pomona master, gave an interesting report on the recent state grange meeting held in Eugene. One resolution voted into grange law raised the dues paid by the subordinate granges to the state grange from 30 cents per member to 40 cents per quarter. The impor tance of this move wil be manifest when we realize that the 10 cents raise will net the state grange some $8,000 to be used in continuing the broadcasts similar to those present ed over the 15 Oregon stations last pring, in defraying the expenses of state meetings, etc. Pomona voted to send $10 to the Morrow county committee for the benefit of the Blue Mountain Camp and Hospital council. The members indicated their willingness to donate blood to the Red Cross at any time arrangements can be made for a panel truck to come into the coun ty for that purpose. During the lecture hour an in terested crowd listened to the splen did program presented by the Lecturer: Song, America. Recitations: Judy and Alice Mason Musical Readings: Beneath the Mistletoe and Circumstantial Evi dence, Marjorie Baker. Letter from Rev. Perry Schrock of Portand. Agricultural talk, County Agent Conrad. Song, God Bless America. Address, Dr. Carl Thompson. Movies, Bonneville and Winning Their Wings. Members are taking an interest in the contest sponsored by Pomona for which a $25 war bond will be given as a prize. The next Pomona will be held Oct. 2 at Lexington on which date the election of officers for two years will be held. Anti-Waste Drive To Be Launched State and county committees on nutrition for defense will soon have have an additional task that of heading a campaign to reduce food waste to the absolute minimum, Dean Ava B. Milam of O. S. C, chairman of the Oregon state com mittee, reported to that body at the latest meeting. Americans wasted more food in 1942 than was shipped abroad, ac cording to statistics reported to state chairman at a recent conference in Washington, said Dean Milam A campaign within the army to elim inate food waste is getting results, she said, and now the movement is to be extended to restaurants, hotels, and to the individual homes where clean plates are a mark of patriotism. Additional changing food habits are in store for Americans in help ing win the war, the state chair man added. Plenty of vegetable proteins are in sight but not as much animal protein food as people of this country are accustomed to. Soy beans in several forms for home consumption will be available on the markets soon. These will be marketed as flour, grits and whole beans. Victory gardens have been grown in such tremendous num bers that the vitamin situation throughout . the country is good, she reported. The next step now is to see that all of the preservable food in these gardens, beyond im mediate needs, is canned, frozen or dried for future use, and that late vegetables are planted where soil and climactic conditions permit. Better nutrition for industrial workers is becoming a definite movement in war plants, though Portland and other northwest cities are lagging in this, the committee was told by William E. Broeg, in dustrial nutritionist for the War Foods administration. He said that when plant owners are shown that what they get from their men in work is directly related to what goes into them as food, they look on better nutrition as an engineer ing problem that they can under stand and do something about. Noon or "mid-shift" hot lunches are the answer in many plants, he said. Better Prepare Now!! Winter is not so far away and stoves are harder to get. Better prepare now.
