Chicago Library Fines Reach Peak Chicago (U.R) If library fines for overdue books are a criterion, Chicago patrons are more forgetful and less thrifty than in pre-war years. Their contributions during 1944 in fines hit an all-time peak of $129,699.25, the library re ports, which is some $16,000 more than the previous high set in 1930, and circulation that year was 4,000,000 volumes greater than in 1944. These testaments to careless ness go to the library employees' pension fund, under state law. The library reports also that its statistics Indicate most bor rowers are honest. Only one of every 2,080- books borrowed fails to turn up eventually. Closing Ume for Sunday roo Lett to Classlf S-30 Saturda afternoon Please remember I -.'MS- I GUT- 9 Watch Out!

Feb. 21 (U.R) Senate bill 62, which would pre vent public utility districts from buying utility properties outside of its own district without the approval of the voters In the area affected, was on the senate floor today with a "do pass' recommendation by the railroads and utilities committee. The bill was Introduced by Sen. Merle R. Chessman, Astoria and Rep. Ralph Moore, Coos county. It has been hotly contest ed by some PUD representatives an undue restriction on the rights of the districts to expand. Sen'. Chessman explained the bill by saying that it would pre vent the successful accomplish ment of an attempt similar to that made by the Hood River PUD In 1943 when it tried to float a $173,000,000 bond issue to buy Portland other utility properties. Hood River voters turned down the proposal. It it had carried, Sen. Chessman said, the Hood River PUD could have fixed rates and charges else where in the northwest without fear of competition.

Claelna time (or ClaMineif Ade m Too Let to Cluslfr 1230 FOR THIS YEAR Washington, Feb. 21 (U.R) Rations of sugar for home can ning this year will be smaller and will be harder to get, the office of price administration revealed today. Under a drastically curtailed rationing program, 20 pounds will be the limit of the canning allowance for one person. Any one family will be held to 160 pounds of canning sugar. No ration stamps will be validated for canning sugar. All allotments will be made direct ly by local ration boards. Rations will be determined according to an OPA scale of estimates, with a limit of one pound of sugar for each four quarts of fruit or fruit juices. . Stocks Low . Major reason for curtailing this year's program. Price Ad ministrator Chester Bowles said is that sugar stocks are the low est they have been for any Feb ruary since the war began. The loose rationing system which prevailed last year resulted in an over-usage of 300,000 tons, OPA said. The total 1945 home-canning ration will be 700,000 tons, the same amount allocated in 1944. Stamps and certificates for 1,000,000 tons actually were is sued last year, Bowles said. 12 Bouncing Pups Add To Problem Of Housing Shortage Medford welcomed a member of a royal family last week and a few days later extended that greeting to her 12 newly born redhaired offspring.
