ft MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1942 PAGE ITVB TO STICKBY GUNS Retiring Chief Compliments Board Members on Work During Recent Months. Urging rationing boards of the nation to "stick to their guns" and not let special pleading or Q self-interest turn them from their important task of guarding against rises in the cost of living . or shortages, Leon Henderson has issued a special le'ter to boards all over the country announcing his resignation and compliment ing the boards upon their splen did work in recent months. "The war price and rationing Doaras in 1842 have made dem ocracy work," Mr. Henderson's letter states. "My staff and I met with thousands of boards. We have always been impressed with the patience and courage you have shown In your difficult tasks. Your problems have been acute. Hundreds of boards have written me about lack of space, supplies and paid help. Thou sands have borne their load In W silence, knowing the difficulty of building from nothing to the present organization. His Part Finished "My part In this great pro gram la finished. The president has accepted my resignation. This resignation is made possible by the strength, courage and in tegrity of the board organiza tions. I know that you will car ry on the hard tasks you have accepted. I know that you under stand that this la essentially a human program, and that it must be kept democratic and flexible. As long as you stick to your guns, this program Is going to be operated in terms of people, democratically and fairly. If you hold your course in 1943, the great majority of citizens of the United States will get the food, clothing and shelter they need to live in decency, safety and some comfort. If you fail. Amer ica will face numerous crises in cost of living and food. If that happens, we have failed those men who fight our battles round the world. . Commenting on Mr. Hender son's letter, Hobart Price of the Jackson county board stated that he In turn wished to thank the scores of volunteer workers who have so materially helped me Board in recent months and without whom the board could not have operated. He also stat ed that the Chamber of Com merce personnel had been most helpful to the board. North Anatolia Severely Shaken ; London, Dec. 22 (U.PJ Axis reports from Istanbul and An kara said today that it was fear ed thousands of persons had been killed by an earthquake in the northern Anatolia area of Tur key yesterday. The quake destroyed the town Erba, the German DNB agency said. Lesser damage was reported in other towns and villages of central Anatolia. E J Jackson county resident are now asked to participate in the saving of tin cans for the war effort, A. S. Cummins, county salvage chairman, said today. Pointing out that all Oregon- lana are being urged to partici pate in this important salvage problem, Mr. Cummins said that the war production board is ask ing all housewives to prepare their cans by removing both ends, washing and removing labels, then flattening by step ping on them heavily. Subse quently, the cans should be stor ed in suitable containers pending future collections. - The actual collection of tin cans in this area may not occur for several weeks, perhaps long er, Mr. Cummins reported. How ever, tin is direly needed in in dustry and the WPB thus has cautioned that all persons who throw away or destrqy tin cans in the future are committing an unpatriotic act. In addition, it is revealed that If prepared correct ly, cans used by an average fam ily will not fill a small barrel over a six-month period. Eventually all properly pre pared cans contributed will go directly to detinning plants where the tin coating will be separated from the steel body of the can.

Washing prevents deteriora tion of tin coating assures sani tary condition and prevents contamination of detinning fluid. 2. Removing ton and bottom permits the free flow of de tinning fluid over all surfaces of the can.- 2. Flattened cans occupy less space in collection, shipment and detinning operations thereby decreasing handling costs and Increasing plant capacity for de tinning.

S. army yielded today to the numerical strength of 11 children and Pvt Thomas Halazsynski was given an ex tension of seven days to his fur lough to visit with his family. When the 37-year-old father volunteered for the army last August, there were 10 children, and under service men s allow ance act, his family would re ceive $184 monthly, consider ably more than the $87.50 a month he received on his WPA inb. While ne was at Camp Camp bell, Ky., a 11th child was born to Mrs. Halazynski. Tom was granted a ten-day furlough, which, deducting traveling time, would permit him six days with his family. As the end of the furlough approached, Tom went to see his congressman Sam Weiss to explain be hadn't enough time to visit -with all his family. San Francisco (U.R) If vaude ville is dead, thousands of army trainees all over the country have been seeing ghosts some shapely ones at that. In addition to many major ra dio shows which are touring camps, principal regular con tributors to trainees' entertain ment are U.S.O. shows and the four Camel Caravans. The typical show, such as the Caravan now in California on the first lap of its second swing around the western states, is put on by professional show people recruited from Hollywood and New York. Here is vaudeville, late and much - lamented by Broadway and Hollywood hand wringers whose vision has not extended past the marquees of their neighborhood theatres. In a giant bus packed with props and scenery, eighteen troupers travel from camp to camp. Their manager. In this case Joe Rardin, knows the gen eral itinerary of his troupe but relies on regular messages from the War Department for specific information as to where the players are due. Troupe Tours since April These messagea Indicate names of camps to be played, dates and times of performance. route for the bus driver and usually tell where the troupe -will eat while at the camp. A war department itinerary covers about a month's time. This western troupe of the Caravan has been on the road since April with two weeks off in August. At the camps the players are rewarded for long bus trips and the inconveniences of a mechan ized nomadic life by packed houses and boundlessly enthusi astic audiences. At a West Coast airfield and training station the Caravan pulled up an hour late after un avoidable delaya caused by rain and a suddenly temperamental bus. The troupe found a hangar Jammed with boys who were waiting for the show to go on. They had waited over an hour, but their applause Indicated they felt the performance was well worth the wait As the troupe left after the first performance, they saw a line of boys the length of the hangar waiting In a literal down pour for the second not due to go on for two hours. Whistles Greet Jean Carol The show la sparked by Joe Rardin, emcee and ainger, who brings down the house with his interpretations of Tommy Dor sey's slide clarinet. Whistles as piercing aa any air raid siren greet the appear ance of ' blonde singer Jean Carol who -was formerly with the Earl Carrol show in Holly wood. . All other members of the show the agile and lovely dancer, the comedy team, the western band are Justifiably well received by the entertainment-hungry trainees. Mrs. Rardin, wife of the man ager and emcee, said. "You can't help but feel the show Is worthwhile when you hear them clan and shout for more." And that seemed to sum up They couldn't ask for snore ap preciative audiences and they're carying vaudeville to place it never before reached even In the palmiest days of the Orphe- urn circuit.
