inflation is greater than ever now
that hostilities have ceased. The
government bonds, he said, are
really better than cash in hand for
they have a more stabilizing influ
ence than ready money.
B. C. Pinckney cited some figures
on hospitalization to show that am
ple federal financing is essential. It
is estimated that at the present
time 300,000 wounded army men
are being cared for in the United
Stales, with an additional 100,000
from the navy. The average over
all time for these patients is five
and one-half months. Amputees re
quire eight months and plastic
cases over 12 months. Estimated
cost per day per patient is $5. Able
to leave the hospital, the men are
granted $100 per month for three
months separation pay. This side of
the picture alone requires a heavy
budget and it is only one of nu
merous big items, Pinckney stated.
Mahoney named O. G. Crawford
to head the queen contest commit
tee which includes Mrs. Walter
George and K. A. House. Mrs.
Lucy Rodgers will present the con
test terms to the schools.
This feature of the bond drive is
sponsored by ' the motion picture
theater operators and newspaper
publishers of Oregon. Its purpose is
to inject a competitive spirit into
the bond buying and it is hoped
that a goodly number of young la
dies will enter the contest. Besides
the lure of a trip to Hollywood
where you will be entertained by
your favorite motion picture ac
tor, there is the possibility of win
ning the first new 1946 Dodge car
on the floor of the Joe Fisher ag
ency in Portland. Mr. Fisher has
donated the car to the Oregon War
Finance committee to be presented
to the person turning in the high
est individual score in the Victory
Loan campaign.
There is no lack of incentive for
those who want to help put the
current drive over and the finance
committee urges every likely can-1
didate to enter the race now and
get the advantage of the early sales.
The queen contest starts officially
on Nov. 5. Granges, lodges, civic
organizations, clubs, or any groups
that want to form for that purpose
are invited to back candidates.
