Times, February 24, 1944
"One of the first bodies of soldiers
from the United States which we
saw in Australia were men of the
41st division from Oregon," said
John F. Williams, managing direc
tor of the Courier-Mail in Brisbane,
Australia. The men of the former
Oregon National Guard made a
good impression on Australians,
Williams said. As a result the Uni-
Pfc Raljph Thompsen is a senior
this term at U of O medical school,
Portland. He will begin his intern
ship in September. Ralph formerly
taught science at the Ranier high
school. He and his wife, the former
Grace Kvale, and baby daughter
Cassandra, will make their home in
Portland until he is assigned to
duty with the army.
AC Norris Thompsen has begun
his pre-flight training at Santa
Ana, Caif. He was classified as pi
lot and received his initial training
at Montana State university.
Board Clarifies . . .
Continued from First Page
they will start reclassificatioon of
the men now holding 3-C classifi
cations. All of these registrants
found qualified for a farm classifi
cation will be placed in class 2-C
for a period of six months or less.
It will be the object to replace
men who can be found available
for military service with over-age
men, men with Pre-Pearl Harbor
children, and especially with those
men who have seen active duty
with the military service and are
being returned to civilian life as
the result of physical disabilities.
Every case will continue to re
ceive the careful consideration of
Morrow county's local board and
the USDA war board. It . is urged
that all registrants complete at
once the supplemental forms for
farm workers that they have been
receiving from their local boards,
and to use care in giving correct
and complete information.

Production Hints
Stressed in 1944
Triple A Program
Production practices which will
yield immediate increase while giv
ing maximum protection to soil re
sources of Morrow county farm
lands are stressed in Oregon's
Triple A conservation program of
1944, Henry Baker, chairman of the
county AAA committee, announced
this week.
Baker views as an important
feature of the new program the
removal of limitations on prices
which individual farmers can carry
out to earn payments. The only ex
ceptions are for application of lime
and phosphate, for which the max
imum payment will be $2 per acre
of cropland and orchard or $25 per
farm, whichever is larger.
The committeeman explained that
"soil-building allowances," formerly
based on each farm's orchard, range
and cropland acreages, have been
eliminated in the 1944 program.
This will allow one operator who
has an extensive conservation job
to do. such as control of noxious
weeds, to earn practice payments
on the entire acreage involved. An
other operator who carries out no
practices will not tie up funds
which otherwise would be obli
gated for his farm.
The reason for the change, the
committeeman continued, is to per
mit maximum results in increased
production for war from the $300.
000.000 allocated by congress for
conservation.
The 1944 AAA program offers a
group of erosion control and water
conservation practices designed to
keep valuable topsoil in place on
county farmlands for peak produc
tion now and in future. Payments
are offered for contour drilling of
field crops, stripcropping. protect
ed sumrnerfallow. incorporation of
pea or vetch straw into the surface
soil, establishing permanent sod
waterways, construction of tile or
open-ditch drainage, reorganization
of farm irrigation systems, water
spreading practices and construc
tion of riprap.
Rates of payment and specifica
tions for these and other production-boosting
practices can be ob
tained from community commitlae
men or the county AAA office.

Rationing Points
It will save time for both pur
chaser and retailer if the customer
will not try to pass tokens for
points. The tokens are used for
making change where points do not
come out even. You will not be
able to buy or cash them.
Persons applying for special
points such as sugar, processed
foods, meats and fats, like loggers'
meat points or people "on special
diets, must bring books three and
four to the rationing office or for
ward them if applying by mail. The
office has to record points issued in
the book.
The gasoline situation has be
come so acute that preferred mile
age holders are now obliged to
keep a log of all driving where,
mileage, gasoline used, business or
pleasure. Users are required to
bring the log to the office when
applying for nejv books. This rul
ing applies to holders of R books,
which are issued for six months.
If the rationing board is in doubt as
to how the books are being used,
but one month's supply is issued
at a time.
Specials are being issued for
medical cases. Most other things
have been put under the ban until
gas supplies improve.
