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.

CONSERVATION OF
WASTE PAPER URGED

sed
This is the urgent request of Gov-
€ rnor Charles A. 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

Christmas Traffic Jams
Y our telephone company hardly ever has traf
fic jams—except on Christmas. 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.

to see that the attention of all citi-

Eastern Oregon wheat growers
showed their strong support of fed
eral agricultural programs and of the
research and extension work of Ore
gon State college in action at the
fourteenth annual session of the
Eastern Oregon Wheat League here
the first week in December.
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.
