COST OF FEAST ON
THANKSGIVING DAY
AT ALL-TIME
Show Girl Now Designer
Turkeys About 20 Per Cent
Above Last Year Retail
Prices Below Wholesale.
By Franklin Mullin
Chicago, Nov. 18. iP) The
traditional Thanksgiving feast,
of deepest significance this year,
will cost Americans more than
at any festivity in the past dec
ade, food price statistics indi
cated today.
Measured in the cost of the
various food items, market ex
perts estimated probably 16 per
cent more cash must be laid on
the counter to get the same bas
ketfull which, a year ago, came
at a bargain.
There's hardly an Item that's
not more expensive, except pos
sibly a few vegetables and
"trimmings." Cranberries are
priced about the same as a year
ago in the Chicago wholesale
market. Some poultry are only
slightly higher, particularly
ducks and geese which, whole
sale dressed, are up 6 to 7 per
cent. Turkeys were up about 20
percent. Some spices are sharply
higher and relatively scarce.
Retail Prices Lag
Trade analysis indicated that
in general retail prices have
lagged behind the advance in
wholesale markets. In instances,
while some foods are costing
dealers more than a year ago,
figures posted at counters, are
little, if any higher.
The bureau of labor statistics
November 8 index of wholesale
food prices for the country as
whole was 23.8 percent higher
than a year ago. Important

items which were higher in the
Chicago wholesale market today
included butter, up about 12
percent; eggs, up 60 percent;
lard 100 percent; flour 20 per
cent, and cheese 45 percent.
The bureau's index for retail
food costs just a month ago was
only 16 percent higher than a
year earlier but was the highest
since January, 1931,

SAVED BY HEROIC
ACT OF COMRADE
Tacoma, Nov. 18 (JP) Army
air corps officers at nearby Mc
Chord field air base cited for
heroism today the act of Pvt.
Clarence L. Singsank, of New
Vienna, Iowa, in saving Pvt.
Charles L. Wimer, of Ashland,
Ore., from more serious or pos
sible fatal injuries in a 75-foot
fall from a tree.
Singsank and Wimer were out
on the air base reservation with
a timber-topping detail. Wimer
had climbed to the top of a 75
foot tree when his grip gave way
suddenly.
Singsank, on the ground be
low the tree, tried to catch Wi
mer and break the fall. The Iow
an broke Wimer's fall but in so
doing seriously injured his
hands. One hand was split by a
spike from Wimer s tree spurs.
Wimer was taken to the Van
couver, Wash., army barracks
hospital for treatment. He was
badly bruised and suffered a
fractured leg and arm. Singsank
also is in a hospital. Both sol
diers are members of the 43rd
air base squadron.
Pet. Charles Wimer is the son
of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Wimer of
575 Liberty street, Ashland. He
is a former Ashland high school
football player.
Rickshaws will be banned

Libel for Salvage
Filed Against Ship
Seized by Cruiser
San Juan, Puerto Rico, Nov.
18, (JP) The United States dis
trict attorney's office today filed
in the name of a U. S. warship
a libel for salvage against the
German freighter Odenwald,
"known as the Willmoto of Phil
adelphia," which the navy said
was seized in the South Atlantic
while flying the American flag.
The libel asserted that the
ship was found flying the Amer
ican flag and abandoned by her
master and crew after having
hoisted a signal "I am sinking;
send boats for passengers."
The action also stated that the
ship had been brought here by
the crew of a United States
cruiser at great risk and asks
the court to decree a full salv
age award for services rendered.
Washington. Nov. 18. (JP)
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said today
that Republicans might stake
their chances of winning con
trol of the house in next year's
elections on a pledge to the vo
ters that the party would reject
all proposals for sending an
American expeditionary force
abroad.
Senator Nye (R-N.D.), like
Taft an opponent of administra
tion foreign policy, expressed
the view that his party's chances
next year "depend a great deal
on how well we succeed in get
ting rid of Wendell L. Willkie
and his crowd."
"Mr. Willkie and his associ
ates have created a lack of con
fidence in the party," Nye told
reporters. "If he is actively In
the picture, then I think we may
lose some seats we otherwise
would gain."
Willkie, the 1940 Republican
presidential nominee, consistent
ly has supported administration
foreign policy and has urged the
party to do likewise, but a ma
jority, of Republicans in cong
ress have regularly voted
against it.

ROAD STILL OPEN
TO DIAMOND LAKE
The Diamond Lake highway
was still open this morning af
ter being plowed out, Rogue
River national forest headquart
ers said, but the AAA office
stated that it would not encour
age travel over the highway this
time of year because of the dan
ger of getting marooned in a
snow storm.
Diamond Lake highway, lead
ing from the Crater Lake high
way at Union Creek to Diamond
lake and The Dalles-California
highway, will be closed offic
ially December 1, sooner if
snow blocks the highway, the
AAA office said. At this time
of year snow storms are liable
to occur suddenly and because
of the lack of habitations along
the route and the consequent
danger of becoming isolated,
motorists were cautioned
make a careful check on wcath
er conditions before starting
out on the Diamond Lake highway.
