Since the num ber of men trained in specialized work must remain in constant ratio to the number of men in the fleet, the training program must keep pace with enlistments.” Continuing. the Re Lieutenant remarked, "N serve enlistments are now running ahead of those in the regular branch of the service because of the oppor- tunity offered to serve and get trade training for the period of the emerg ency. Boys who want to come to the aid of the country, but who hesitate to sign for the 6 year period are tak ing advantage of the "duration” clause to do their part without obli gating themselves for longer than they are needed. We are confident that a new increase will result from this chance to sign up for only 2 or 3 years.” The Walla Walla recruiting station will be open from 8:00 to 8:00 daily except Sunday, and other times by appointment. 47 CHRISTMAS!

Sprague, State Di rector of Civilian Defense, who is co- operating with the Office of Price Administration in its campaign to reduce shortages of raw material. County Defense Councils are asked to lend their assistance to local drives for the accumulation of waste paper and to initiate such campaigns where none already are under way. Conser vation of waste of all kinds is of vast importance today and local defense groups may find it adviseable to ap point a conservation committee to which can be conferred all such pro- ects. Investigation discloses that there is an active market in Oregon today for paper waste and prices being paid are the highest in years. Waste paper dealers are making arrangements to handle accumulations in every com- munity. By “waste paper” is meant old newspapers and magazines, old corrugated boxes and waste basket One of the important commodity The Navy needs men, but it also needs knitters.

To handle the Christmas long distance traffic we would have to double the highways of speech between many places, and leave most of them idle the other 364 days of the year. We will have everything we’ve got ready for this year’s Christmas rush. Far more people than normal will be working Christmas Eve and Day. But if everyone wants to talk long distance as they did last year there will be traffic jams and delays. If your calling that day isn't particularly urgent it would help a lot if you called early Christmas week or a day or two after the holiday. Thank you.

Numerous municipal institu tions and industrial plants not now conserving waste paper should be im- pressed with the necessity of doing their part in this program. Control of shortages by conserva- tion and the elimination of waste is a means of reducing inflationary ten dencies and performing a service to the nation in this time of emergency. The active cooperation and inter est of Oregon’s County Defense Coun cils are requested in this program. TRY * protect your future * GET IN THE NAVY NOW!

At the same time they expressed themselves repeatedly against making demands that might be construed as unfair nationally or which might in crease a long time problem while solving an immediate one. Faced with a proposal to indorse a 100 per cent parity loan rate for wheat instead of the present 85 per cent loan rate, the league, after full discussion from the floor, approved the present plan. Many pointed out that increasing the loan rate would automatically in crease the market price to a point where wheat would be taken out of the feed markets, and poultrymen es- pecially would be antagonized. The danger of making still more difficult the export of northwest surplus wheat was also pointed out. At pres ent "parity income" for wheat grow ers is attained through extra parity payments and conservation payments, It was shown. The league again reiterated its long established position that reduc- tion in wheat output must be in re- duced acreage rather than in reduced yield or other reduced efficiency. Strong support of the Moro, Pendle- ton ami Eastern Oregon branch ex- périment stations was expressed. President Sint J. Culley of Weston also cited with approval in his annual report the close cooperation in thi« state of the extension service and the AAA, thus bringing greatest returns to the growers with the least loss of efficiency. Governor Charles A. Sprague re viewed the Oregon tax situation, showing the extent by which property taxes have been offset by income and excise tax returns. He favored main taining this offset principle.
