Business Houses May
Close Friday and
Saturday, May 30-31
The suggestion has been
made that the business houses
of the city take advantage of
the Pecoration day week-end
by closing for a doubla holiday.
The idea has not spread far as
yet but it is understood some
thing definite will be undertak
by the first of the week.
ed. Sergeant Bold said he is
calling upon local civic gild fra
I tornal organizations to form
"Kecommendation Committees."
These committees will be turn
' ished with "certificates of rec
ommendation" entitling the men
;of their selection to a qualifica-
tion interview, the sergeant ex
j plained. For those who qualify,
the regular army now offers
; starting pay equivalent to $211.
: 50 per month exclusive of the
;cash value of the army endow
l ment policy and of the educa
j tional benefits under the G. I.
Bill of Rights, according to Ser

Qualification interviews for
men who have rerreived a rec-
i ommendation notification (or
1 any other young men who be
lieve that they have above av-
erage mental and physical abil
ity) will be held daily at the
army recruiting headquarters in

Vacation And Harvest
Yes, the busy season is here-the time when you
want to go places, and get things done on sched
ule. You can go places and start your harvest
without having your tire needs carefully checked,
but it is far more business like to have it done
before starting. Nothing is more disturbing to
one's travel pleasure than tire trouble, and if
your truck tires are in poor condition valuable
time is lost in the farmer's busiest period.
We have the answer to your tire problems-New Zenith
or Mobil Truck and Passenger Tires, and OK Welding
service for your used tires.
Yours for Good Tire Service

have to be rationed. Western 'rom the state forestry di
inausiry is growing faster than
power development. If congress
makes proposed drastic cuts in
appropriations for western self
sustaining power dams there
will be a serious curtailment in
western industrial development
with consequential employment
sags.
Appropriation cuts demanded
by senate subcommittee mem
bers from eastern states (nearly
all republicans) are obviously
sparked by eastern industrial
ists who observe rapid growing
competition in these parts.
When western governors went
to Washington, D. C, this month
they got more encouragement
in their restoration-of-power-funds
from far-sighted republi
can leaders outside of congress
than from congressmen. "We
will be selling out GOP strength
in the west if cuts in western
development funds are made,"
said a nationally famous repub
lican figure.
"We argued before the sub
committee for western develop
ment in its entirety an idea we
developed at the Seattle confer
ence of western governors," said
Governor Snell.
SNELL OPTIMISTIC
Governor Earl Snell expects
an order to come from Washing
ton, D. C, at any time to keep
the Chemawa Indian training
school, the second largest in the
country, in operation. Nearly 100
orphan children will be home
less unless the order arrives be

is scheduled to close.
