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.

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. One hundred per cent
of the metal content is recovered

"Prepared" tin cans are need
ed for the following reasons.
Chairman Cummins said:
1. 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.
Milk cans and paint, oil and
varnish cans are not wanted.

today after an irregular decline.
Other railroad Issues came

some, minor gains replaced
losses. Santa Fe made up near

McKeesport, Pa., Dee. 22
(U.R The U. 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

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.
