Gas Ban Should Be Lifted
In a previous article on this page attention was
called to the ruling denying more than the regular
allotment of gasoline coming under A coupons to
residentts of Camp Five of the Kinzua Pine Mills
company. Since that article appeared, workers at
Camp Five have asked assistance of the Heppner
Chamber of Commerce in securing a more libera)
allotment and the directors of the chamber have
requested the secretary to prepare a letter of pro
test and farward it to the proper authorities.
So much for the timber workers. Now comes a
report from the mill company that production has1
dropped approximately 40 percent at the plant.
Much of this drop has been due to the difficulties
encountered with forest labor. Men come and
work for a while and then leave to get into some
other camp not quite so remote, or at least where
they can get into town with less difficulty. It i
not through lack of proper labor policy on the
part of the mill company. The owners have pro
vided good living quarters and other features to
give the men and their families a reasonable
amount of home life all, in fact, that can be
done under the circumstances. But timber workers
are human after all and crave a bit of surcease
from their labors. They work hard and play jusl
as vigorously. The camp cannot provide all the fa
cilities and the workers do not expect that much
from the company. They prefer to get out of the
woods occasionally and see how the rest of the
world is riding along. When they cannot do this
they become restless and ere long move on.
Most of us have heard a good bit about morale
among civilians as well as our fighting forces. We
wonder if the OPA has heard of the word or what
it implies. It is a strange situation when a govern
ment agency set up for the purpose of protecting
civilian rights to aid in promoting the war, uses
its authority, either knowingly or unknowingly, to
hamper the progress of our cause. It seems that
curtailing the use of a few hundred gallons of
gasoline by Camp Fivers because it was reported
that some of them were misusing the vital fluid by
driving to dances is a small matter compared to
the loss in production resulting in a large sense
from that ruling.
We believe that the mill workers are more in-
