WAR BOARD AIDE AT COFC r Any employer who has made wage adjustments without ap proval of the war labor board should disclose these adjust ments to the board (or his own protection as well as for the pro tection of the wage stabiliza tion policy. William A. Bab cock, regional attorney for the 12th regional war labor board, advised employers yesterday at a noon meeting at the Holland hotel. The meeting was spon sored by the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. Babcock, explaining duties of the enforcement division of WLB. declared that its primary purpose is to stabilize wage rates and to get people to com ply with them. The enforce ment division's secondary pur pose, that of imposing penalties to warn future violators, ap plies particularly to those who willfully violate wage rulings or' fail to voluntarily disclose wage adjustments made without aporoval of WLB. Babcock listed wage adjust ment exceptions which do not reauire WLB'n innmni tv... included payment for length of service, merit, promotions and bonuses, provided these prac tices were established before October 2, 1942; equalizing women a wages With men's and Increasing rates of 50 cents an hour. He warned, however, that these terms shoulri h hiiin tin. derstood by the employer.

If the "little steel formula" can be applied; if bracket rates, normal prevail ing rates in the particular area, should be established: if intra- Plant ineauitles nppri nnrrpftlnn or if rare conditions hindering tne progress of the war prevail, WLB-will approve the adjust ment.

The award was made for a letter which the salesman wrote regarding the sale of a garden tractor. In his letter Mr. Losee explained that the local firm, under rationing of farm imple ments, had but one tractor to sell and that after carefully con sidering many prospects, the tractor was sold to Grant H. Nel son, route 2, box 119, Medford, who raises Easter illy bulbs on a tract of land near Brookings, on the Oregon coast. Mr. Losee explained briefly how the cli mate and soil of Brookings is ideal for these bulbs and includ ed quotations from Mr. Nelson, who stated that the garden trac tor exactly fitted the needs of bulb culture.

T1 ON FARMS URGED T- FRANK HULL GETS AIR LINES AWARD Frank Hull, manager of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, has been awarded certificate by United Air Lines for his efforts in aiding the firm with the first coast-to-coast ship ment of perishable fruits, vege tables and flowers ever made by the air line. The certificate reads "For pio neering in air shipping this cer tificate is presented to Frank Hull In appreciation of your val uable contribution to the success of the first planeload shipment of perishables flown coast-to-coast August 23-24, 1944. We feel confident that this historic venture marked only the begin ning of what will beepme an im portant phase of future air trans portation. . The certificate is signed by W. A. Patterson, president of United. Chicago, Dec. 14 (U.R) American agricultural produc tion must be increased tremend ously in the postwar period as the farmers contribution to ward providing a minimum standard of living for the peo ples of the world, according to Eric A. Johnston, president of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Johnston, speaking last night at the 26th annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Fed eration, asserted that the solu tion to the world's postwar problems lies In an expanding economy, based on high levels of production and consumption. "While other nations . are clamoring for a crust of bread, we here tonight are worrying about what to do with our fu ture loaves," he commented. Johnston assailed the doc trine of the economy of scarcity which, he said, preached that the "only remedy to depression was to ' restrict production, throw men out of work and di vide less and less." Wartime experience has prov en, he declared, that the nation never has produced enough food to supply adequate nutri tional standards, and not even government and lend-lease pur chases cai account for the 11 per cent increase in farm pro duction over the surplus year of 1940. ' The answer, he said, is sim ply that the people now have the money to buy food "which they always wanted but were unable to afford." The maintenance of this pur chasing power after the war and its extension to all peoples of the world will prevent any return to the days of the depres sion thirties, "when people went hungry while unsaleable farm products glutted the markets or rotted on the farms," he asserted.
