Monday, Jan. 28. 1946 Dr. Hunter Should Retire Wa rpp. nnthinrr that is trood and much that is unfortunate in the State board of Higher Education's action in regard to Dr. Charles D. Byrne. It has been well known in education circles for a long time past that Dr. Byrne desired, and had reason to expect, a clarification of his status. He has been doing triple dutv as secretary to the board, as assistant to. Chan cellor Frederick M. Hunter, for the state system. And this has involved consider able of the chancellor's own duties, because of the latter's ill health and for other reasons. e a a e MEANWHILE, Dr. Hunter has reached the age ot 67. Since he became 65 he has been eligible for retirement, on an annunity paid up by the state, on the initiative either of himself or the board. How ever, neither Dr." Hunter nor the board has moved. So the matter has been permitted to drift to the point where Dr. Bvrne has asked for and received the right to confine himself to his board, and has been given a a e e THE worst of the situation is that as assistant to the Vmnoollnr. TV 'Rvmo was Vi&nrilino- various cru cial postwar problems such as housing and the build ing program in general. He has been doing well ; he 3hould remain on the job. We are appreciative of the fact that Dr. Hunter has seen higher education through critical years and deserves every considera tion. But with his retirement imminent in any case, we- cannot believe that continued delay has been proper on the part of the board. It has permitted ai fairs to get out of hand. Portland Oregonian.

Mules at Men Asks a young woman born un der the sign of Libra (Sept. 24 Oct. 23): "May I expect a Pisces (Feb. 20-Mar. 21) man to propose within a reasonable time or will I have to stir him to activity in that respect by a few gentle hints?" According to stargazers Piscean males need more than the average urging to be brought to the point of proposal. They are Indecisive and are always asking themselves "Am I doing the right thing?" The clinging vine technique is reported very effective with men of this sign. They enjoy being considered sturdy oaks. They are extremely fond of having good looking women ask them for advice. Libra women are very clever at inspiring proposals from men and one born under that sign should have no trouble with a reluctant Piscean. Or so say the stargaiers. Incidentally, stargat era claim that insofar as matri mony is concerned Pisces and Libra are Incompatible signs. Passing By Marlon Leonard. Cinema star ot yesteryear. Marlon was the first film star to have her name used on the screen or In adver tising. She was the star of the first film in which Mary pick ford appeared. That was a ona- reeler produced by D. W. Grif fith in 1908 . . . Jim Jeffries. The old heavyweight champion, himself, in person. Appears to be in the pink. I never saw Jim fight The first heavyweight champion I saw in action was Jack Dempsey. Says She "That woman who said a man who helps with the houswork is considered an easy mark and a chump by his wife Is far off the beam. I suspect her of being a frustrated fromp," writes a New Yorker. "A man who helps even a little endears himself much more to the feminine heart than the boorish oaf who lolls com placently in his easy chair ut terly unmoved by the fact his spouse is struggling alone in the kitchen with a mountain of dishes, A wife docs not look on a husband who considerately helps her as a chump, but as a bit of a darling." No Six Footers Remember that song "Down On The Farm"? Wasn't the farm featured in this ditty in Michi gan? Anyway, I have a letter from a young woman who lives on a farm near Washington, Mich. She encloses a snapshot which reveals her to be a very smart looking girl. However, she Is one of those tall girls who worry so much about their height. She is 5 fet 11 inches tall and says she is unable to find a dance partner taller than she Is, adding: "There are Just no six footers among men in this part of Michigan." A sad state of affairs. Maybe this young woman should move to Texas or Brooklyn where six footers are plentiful. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washlneton. Jan. 28 Only by thi-Ar. npr cent has the cost of living risen in nearly three years, said Mr. Tru man to con gress, In reach ing the remark able conclusion that "the fight against 1 n f la tlon has been waged success fully." The fig ure seemed to be a misprint Most people thought he taui alarum meant 30 per cent. But no, careful rereading of his message will show he anld thft prwt of livina "index" of the government the statis tics naa crept up dui inrce per cent. In this, of course, he was correct. a a TTHE government has waged a much more magnificent fight against letting price statistics rise than against prices. They do this by weighing their index heavily with non-existent and hard-to-get commodities. For Instance, they may consider nylon hose prices, but few can get them. The price is purely figurative. The government may brag about holding tenderloin steak prices down, and give this great consideration in making up their index but steaks have lone since ceased to bo an item in the cost of living of most people. The other commodities be yond price control are available and represent the real cost of living today. Any shopper or housewife can testify these have gone up much more than three per cent, especially when you consider quality depreciation and quantity chiseling. Only a man living beyond personal con- tact with the workaday world in the white House, where everv thing is bought for him. could possibly believe the actual cost of living has been held lo a three per cent increase since May, 1943. DUT the government's self-de-Cention on thia hnp flo-itrp from which its economic policies are deduced, runs far bevond unrealistic statistic. Mr Tm man, himself, disclosed what the public seldom has noticed namely that the trrasurv la nnv Ing out cash to producers to hold many a price list where it is. ne asneci congress for appropria tlons to continue subsidies al read) running over a billion (yes billion) dollars a year. These subsidies ho mentioned on sugar, butter, bread, meat, milk and cheese, are actually price In creases which do not show In the figures. Take sugar. The price "line" has been held at the expense of no one being able to get enough sugar. There is plenty of sugar available in the off-shore stor ages. The government haggled against paying an increase of i cent a pound and therefore was not able to get the sugar. Now tome compromise Is being ne gotiated to pay a fraction of a cent increase, and we may get some nugar. but Mr. Truman ff-V10tTA.ILI'' UXAT1VI 1 !ijiijjj mmtw wia M wants to continue the govern ment subsidy, beyond next July 1 or, he says, sugar will rise one cent a pound, which he con siders alarming. e e BUTTER? The butter "line" has. been held by creating a condition where people cannot get butter. The price of cream was allowed to rise to the point where producers could make more money selling the cream instead of making it into butter on which the price was limited That is why we have had a but ter shortage. Meat? Flour? Cash from the treasury is being paid producers for not increas ing prices, and now Mr. Truman says these subsidies must be con tinued or increased else meats will go up three to five cents and bread one cent a loaf next July 1, when the subsidies expire. For his proposal to continue the subsidies, Mr. Truman was denounced by one farm organi zation as advocating "the worst double-cross of the farmers in history." The unanimity of the farm bureau, grange and farm ers' union against the subsidies practically assures their discon tinuance by the congress, de spite Mr. Truman's recommen dation. Thus the food price In creases forecast by the president are apt to be realized. e a a SO what? Well, the effect will , uiiwuuuu uu wie Buvcur ment price statistics. But as far as the people are concerned, they will merelv he navino tht nrtrp increase when they buy the sugar or butter, instead of pay ing it in taxes through the treas ury to the producers on the side. Peorjle now have mnnpv nnrt thp wage increases Mr. Truman is promoting should enable the public to face the increases fore cast one cent a loaf on hrp.-iri one to two cents on milk, one cent on sugar and so on. The people are paying it now any way and Davine more. hpmnp the administrative cost of han dling the subsidies in many cases runs hisher than thp enhciriv it. self and this cost will be wiped yui ii suosiaies are stopped. ine "nolo thp n. nA nna' policy which Mr. Trnmon rhlnW nas been so successful is then in reality, not a line but a sieve On fOOd. it is n f.Vtinr, main talned by statistics, which are aosuraiy obsolete, and by more than a billion dollars a year of neasury casn subsidies.

Eugene W. Hall Oregon Representative 120 Broadway, New York Question of the Hour To the editor: Many years ago young girls played the game "button, button, who has the button?" Today this game is being played by old and oung alike except the word button has been changed to but ter. Right here in Medford and throughout the nation, the burn ing topic is butter, and not the weather, for a change. RWht here in the cotintv seat of this ever-green, delightful Rogue valley, that has 16.000 head of dairy cattle, and a half dozen creameries to handle the thous ands of pallons of milk these cows produce, butter is nearly off the market: in fact, to use an old term, as scarce as hen's teeth. This shortage of butter for old and young alike is serious as it ranks tons In calories of all human food. For example one pound nf good butter equal' lx pounds of beef steak and for that reason alone butter should be much higher than it is today. The creamerv men butter makers of the ration, can not be charged with the short age, as it rests "auarely on the heads of the OPA. For the low celling price placed on butter fat the creamery operators are not going to onerate at a loss. As a usual thing the profit on butter is very small In comoari on to other commodities, there fore at present whole milk is being converted into cheese, ice cream, evannrated and canned milk that will show a small pro fit. rather than a loss if made Into butter. Butter making is an expensive operation and has to be handled with great care by firvreful'v -ralnci expert?. This nation is the heaviest consumer of butter. In 1942 we produced two billion pounds and in addition a half million nounds of cheese, a nuarter bil Hon of powdered milk and close to two billion of evaporated or condensed milk, with no record of the whole milk consumed As New York alone consume!1 a billion quarts of whole milk the total must be enormous for the nation. It takes ten gallons of whole milk to produce one and a third gallons of cream. The average content of a pound of butter, is 82 percent butter fat. the balance being a certain amount of water, salt, albume suoar and casein. Therefore when you go to votir favorite store and can t get butter. Just cuss the OPA, and let It go at' that. G. H. Young INCORPORATION SOUGHT BY CAVE CITY PETITION Grants Pass.
