written and teemed with information relative to
the things Mrs. America will have to do to meet
the war situation.
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.
