Action Should Be Reversed
There is a war on and Uncle Samuel is into it. up
to his neck. He has asked every man, woman and
child to do his or her part in helping to bring about
total victory and our people for the most part have
been directing their efforts in that direction. Oc
casionally someone slips and throws the prover
bial monkey wrench into the gears, slowing the war
machine and extending the day of victory and peace
It may not be intentional, yet the injury is just as
patent.
A year or so ago Kinzua Pine Mills Company's
Camp 5 was placed under the jurisdiction of the
Morrow county rationing board for gasoline sup
plies. This was done for the reason that Heppner
is more available 'to the camp folks throughout
the year, most of them had been coming here to
trade and seek recreation and through the efforts
of the local rationing board and the mill manage
ment the transfer was made.
One of the strong points advanced by Kinzua
people was that they are engaged in a critical in
dustry. Such industries have found it no easier to
hire workers and keep them than have other con
cerns engaged in producing war materials and it
was hoped that by changing rationing headquar
ters for the camp workers they would be more con
tent to stay on the job. That has been the case
quite generally except that allotments have not
been sufficient to permil any emergency driving.
An effort has been underway for sometime .to se
cure an additional 200 miles per month and re
cently the local board reached an ' agreement
whereby that amount was granted. The mill com
pany was so informed in one mail and shortly
''rcafter received a second letter canceling the

Voters Turning to Dewey ,

Friday from a business trip to Republican national

Further changes in public opinion have been reg
