Applications pour into score. In one week, applications for new passenger car tires ran up to a total which number of new tires allotted that week. Applications for quota. When only three new users for an entire week, it thinks at all that the easy people whose tires are essential in their daily work will have to get along without new ones. This calls for conservation, for capacity use of cars that travel to work centers, changeover to bicycles, more walking, more use of public transportation facilities. It may not be necessary to pleasure, as yet, but certainly such purposes without realizing that no more will be available when these are gone. People fortunate enough to get tires through eligibility have a greater moral and legal responsibility to conserve their rubber than those who tions require that 100 per cent of the use of the tire must be for the purpose for which cial privileges carry special Te comment made here ment; it simply summarizes rationing official, and is drive home the realization us have a lot to learn about war-time civilian practices. But we shouldn't take too long to do the learning! Western Oregon Townsmen Move in to Harvest Crops POTLAND, July 10 UP) Armies of townspeople moved onto western Oregon farms to Thursday to harvest food for themselves and the United Na tions;' fighting men. Gresham, Oregon City and Newberg, northern Willamette valley towns, closed shop for the morning as druggists, law yers and bankers bent unaccus tomed backs picking raspberries and; blackcaps worth an esti mated $950,000. Entire families, from grandpa down to the youngest child, went to the country, and whole sections of the towns virtually were deserted. i The harvest is on an unpre cedented scale and in an unpre cedented manner, - , - Employment service officials Sprague River SPRAGUE RIVER Austin Haddock of Eugene is employed by the Crater Lake Box and Lumber company in the logging woods.

All of predict that as crops mature down the 125-mile-Iong Willam ette valley, at least one town in every district will shut down to bring in the sheaves. The officials also predict that because of this there will be no loss of fooddespite a critical farm labor shortage and in creased crops. The business men go into the fields from sun-up until noon, then go back to town to open shops. They will continue to do this for the rest of the week- or until the berries are picked. The effectiveness of this was proved in the sugar beet fields of eastern Oregon, where three towns closed down until noon daily for a two-week period to thin beets.

Have You Paid Up Charge Accounts? WASHINGTON, July 10 W) Today's the day you are sup posed to pay for most merchan dise bought on retail charge ac counts before June 1. Unless you pay up, or sign a written agree ment to make regular payments later, your account may be frozen. It is the first deadline under the May 6 order of the federal reserve board on charge ac counts, which must te met by "the tenth day of the second month after the purchase." Thus the deadline for goods bought last month is August 10, and the deadline for articles purchased this month will be Sept. 10. Read The . Classified Page News Behi W7ASH1NGTON, July 10 The press has reported learning "on good authority" that the ad ministration is considering leg islation to freeze the wage-price economic level hard. The authority was "very good. Thero is none better. The notion can be traced bnek to Mr. Roosevelt himself. His congressional leaders re port him worried. Ho took the matter up with the big four of the house and senate at their Inst weekly private meeting at the White House, but only in general way along the same lines he previously had suggested to them. They did not undentand that he had anything immediate in mind, but that he rather gener ally shares the opinion which his price fixer Leon Henderson suggested to a senator, recently: "Something will have to be done." Meanwhile, wags around con gress are popularizing the quip that the immediate problem is to bring the "all-in economy up to the all-out war effort. While the conversationalists are using "all-in" only faceti ously, the problem is growing fast, against only such verbal brakes as the president and Hen derson are using. Congress is inflationary-mind ed. The farm bloc wants higher price, not necessarily what they consider inflationary prices, but higher than presently allowed. Labor as always, wants wage in creases. , Together they represent ma jority opinion in the legislature. Ihey were the ones who turned down all strong freezing de vices in the present price-wage law and limited Henderson's de vices. But you cannot blame it all on congress. The farm bloc jus- mies itself, for instance, by rightly claiming that the ad ministration policy on labor and wages has also been inflationary. urtnermore, behind thesi generalizations, the situation is criss-crossed with innumerable political self-interests. Current White House worry, for instance, is deepened by congressional failure to levy all taxes Mr. Mor- genthau wants and by obstreper ous antics of the farm bloc on the feed-selling program. Congressional antagonism to Henderson likewise lies in his failure to give them patronage in his vast organization. Aoove an, everyone is con scious and super-sensitive of the coming congressional elections. It may be some time before anything effective is done. WPB REORGANIZATION ' Donald Nelson's latest reor ganization of his successful war production board did not mate rially touch one point of inner- criticism the preponderance of investment bankers and finan cial business men in his organ ization. His personnel assistant hap pens to De Sidney Weinberg, of ijoiaman-bachs, who naturally nappens to know practically everyone in Wall Street or in the finance end of corporations, rather than the production end. The result is one official was able to number on his fingers sixteen such men in front WPB positions, the most Drominent being: Cliff Hill, Guaranty Trust company; Ed. Locke, Chase Na tional bank; Arthur Bunker, Lehman Brothers; James S. Knowlson, president, Stewart Warner; Arthur Newhall, vice president Talon, Inc., and Les- smg J. Rosenwald, Rosenwald Foundation. Wall Street business beine what it is, Mr. Weinberg seems to be running a Si a year un employment relief program for investment bankers in WPB. RUBBER RESULTS The idea that the rubber mnnnnm Always 20c plus tax Today - Tomorrow HEART-POUNDING ACTION! RALPH RYRl) T Maxine Doyle vJl 1! ALSO Preston Foster in 'The Westland Case" SIDE GLANCES eon, iwmt mykc iw& t. a. tg u , "For heaven's sake, if you don't bring him around lo asking you to marry him before those tires wear out, voull never qet him!" scrap campaign is somewhat po litical and has produced little real rubber of use for tires Is thoroughly disproved by the de tailed results. It is true that old tires and tubes are about the only scrap articles containing sufficient rub ber for use in re-capping or making new ones. Some rain coats, shoes and garden hose are helpful. But most of the other articles contain so little rubber and so much foreign substance, their practical value must fall In other less critical lines. The evidence shows, however, more than half the scrap rubber acquired comes within the suit able category. From July 1 through the 7th, according to the petroleum war Industry coun cil, 534 carloads of casings and 414 carloads of mixed rubber were shipped out of the bulk storage points to the reclaimers. WESTERN SUCCESS Extraordinary success of the campaign out west (short of the Pacific coast) is attributed by authorities to two factors: Public spirited enthusiasm generally runs stronger in those communities than along the more densely populated coast; also re claiming by junk dealers was more Intensive in populous cen ters before the campaign start ed. High shipping costs worked against depletion of western stocks. EMBARRASSING MOMENT There was an embarrassing moment on. the radio the other evening for one of the armed forces in the New York area. During a question and answer program, the military men were given three of Mr, Roosevelt's proposed freedoms for which they are fighting and asked to state the fourth. No one knew. Apparently some educational propaganda work is needed. PROTECTS ITSELF A spider doesn't get caueht in its own web since it keeps its legs covered with a film of oil that prevents sticking.

They expect to live on a ranch near New Pine Creek. Miss Femell Hall has left for eastern Oregon, where she will visit her grandparents for the rest of the summer. Resorts In this area were full to overflowing over the week end, and accommodations were impossible to find after Satur day night. Fishing was not good, but the weather was excellent and swimming and boating drew many people out on the lakes. Streams were fished thoroughly, but catches were poor. Many coast people took advantage of the holidays to visit the moun tains, according to resort owners. A woman is a person who gets so mad at you she cries on your shoulder.
