He said Japanese troops' had
gone into French Indo-China "ac

added that he was not permitted

kitchen by means of a work card
issued to each striker who per
forms regularly scheduled duties
in any of the strike-born depart
ments of picketing, wood-cutting,
welfare, health, etc. Workers
must each put in a prescribed
number of hours each week on
the picket line, at the welfare
desk or in neighboring hills fall
ing timber for firewood.
Men with families patronize
the commissary for foodstuffs
and the "makin's" of a meal.
Women, too, who work in the
auxiliary, are entitled to "buy"
at cither the commissary or soup
kitchen.
The kitchen, six weeks ago a
privately -owned cafe, serves
three meals a day and a mid
night supper for the night shift
on the picket line. It serves
close to 700 meals daily.
All the basic chores such as
cooking, dishwashing, and stor
ing are djne by strikers. The
lighter waitress jobs are handled
by auxiliary members.
Eligible for soup kitchen
meals, as well as for commissary
food mu:it either show a work
card or an okay slip from the
welfare department which in
vestigates food petitions.
Soup kitchen meals, served for
an average cost of 1 1 cents, con
sist of hot cakes, sausage and cof
fee for breakfast: meat, potatoes,
vegetable, dessert and coffee for
lunch and the same for dinner.
The kitchen also operates a cof
fee and sandwich wagon for
picketers on duty.
House rent for workers and
their families, most of whom live
in company-owned homes, hasn't
yet become a problem. The firm
has made no move to oust those
who fall behind an action
which would probably only fur
ther antagonize the strikers, sol
idify union opposition, and can
cel any possible chance of col
lecting back rent.
Food subsidies are being en
larged to include clothing, both
castoff and new. It's handled
through the welfare committee
just as the food situation is.
Gasoline for the automobiles
of strikers who use their cars on
strike business is furnished
through the union. Cigarettes
are one of the few luxuries af
forded through the regular com
missary channels.
As yet there's no poverty. Un
ion officials promise that there
won't be. But neither is there
much folding mofiey -and the
holidays and winter are not far
off.
. The auxiliary is making plans
for Christmas, when the situa
tion is going to hit hardest on
the small children of the strike
bound community. There's go
ing to be a Santa Claus, they
vow, despite the stories circulat
ing that some Weed mothers
have told their children that
Santa Claus has died.
Tension has increased in the
past two weeks as negotiations
have temporarily ceased. Last
Sunday night a meeting was
called by a "back-to-work" com
mittee first out-in-the-open sign
of dissension among the mass.
Tempers flared in the pack
jammed Sons of Italy hall as 500
persons crowded inside and an
other 200 stood In the street to
witness. The rally turned into a
union meeting and there was no
violence.
But there are an estimated 60
state patrolmen within a mo
ment's notice of Weed today.
Last reports indicate the
strikers aren't backing down.
They still want a minimum wage
of 70 cents per hour, a week's
vacation with pay, and a union
shop.
According to J. M. White,
manager of the huge Long-Bell
Weed unit, the company does not
agree to the principles of union
shop, has offered a compromise
wage scale, and will further con
sider the vacation proposal in
1942.

Announcement of the appoint

territory was made here today
by R. D. Davis, district manager
of Packard-Portland company,
distributors for Oregon and

Jim Douglas, head of the Doug

that ho has Installed complete
service facilities, and that the
new 10-12 models of the Packard
line are now on display.
With the introduction of a new
line of Packard motor cars for
1042, It is Interesting to note
that Packard celebrates lts.4:ird
year as a producer of automo
biles while simultaneously
launching a defense industry pro
gram as large as Packard Itself.
Such enormous undertakings
In the interest of national de
fense cannot help but rai.ii- the
question, "Is it possible to do
both Jobs well?"
A dual answer may be found
In the fact that the defense pro
gram Is on schedule while the
Packard automobiles of IIHI! are
superior In every way to any
Packard cors previously built,
Davis said.
The same principles of work
manship and engineering that
earned for Packard its major
defense assignments of Rolls
Royce Aircraft engines and
Packard Marine engines will
continue as standard practice In
