An estimated half million crop acres were destroyed, IT'S DIFFERENT THESE DAYS Vast changes in driving habits have come as a result of wartime regulations. . Cars that used to take to the street every day now may sit unused In the garage from one week's end to the next, or even longer. Other csrs are getting a lot more regular use than before. The .'act if that every car, no matter where or bow it's driven, needs to be watched over mora care fully these days. Many things that once seemed hardly worth doing become very important when you realise that your present car may have to last you two or three times as long as ususl. Tint's why It Is wise move to make sure that ' ususl servicing hsbits are really fitted to actual cur rent driving circumstances.' It costs nothing to tslk things over with a good dealer, and can save much. H. E. Hauger IUICK 1330 Main St. III grJ iv. , ill! 8 1, WAACS CO SIGHT.

Classified Ads Bring Results. SPY RELEASE Fl loin CAMPS DENIED A statement recently carried In the press and attributed to Robert E. Stripling, Identified as chief investigator of the com mittee on un-American activity, that spies and saboteurs have been released from relocation centers was vigorously denied by Dillon S. Myer, director of the War Relocation authority. "This statement reveals a com plete Ignorance of the manner In which the agency is conducting its program, Myer said, In a statement released today at the; Tulelnke center. "No evacuee Is permitted to leave a relocation center If there Is any indication that he would in any way endanger the nation al security. The granting of per mits to leave is handled very carefully on an Individual basis. We have records on all people over the age of 17 who are being considered for leave; these rec ords cover family relationships, training, experience, contacts with Jupan, and other pertinent facts," Mr. Myer explained. "In addition we have available and we utilize the) information from the intclligcnan agencies of the government in determining RED-ITCHY-SCALY ECZEMA First application! of wonderfully sooth log, medic lM liquid Zmo fs Dor tor's formula) relieve torture.

"We presume that anyone hav ing evidence of disloyal activity on the part of relocated evacuees will transmit that information promptly to the agencies of the government which are responsi ble for apprehending dangerous persons. To our knowledge not one Instance of disloyal activity on the part of any of the twelve thousand persons of Japanese an cestry on leave from relocation centers has been reported," Myer said. "The statements attributed to Mr. Stripling have the effect of misleading the public on an im portant principle of democracy. That principle centers around the question of whether loyal American citizens and law abid ing aliens should be kept in con finement for the duration of the war, or whether they should bo given the opportunity to contri bute to the war effort in a nor mal manner in our democratic society. The War Relocation au thority was established for the purpose of relocating people evacuated from military areas. Our belief is that such people should be re-established In nor mal communities unless they are found to be potentially danger ous. In administering our leave program, we are taking all pro per precautions to protect the national security. "We welcome a thorough In vestigation of our program, but we feel that the charges which have been made are irresponsi ble and detrimental to the war effort," Myer said. Husbands! Wives!
