Number Of OPA Boards To Be Cut " ' : OPA Is on its way out. This ' leans to be indicated in the re port received, that by January 1046 the number of price boards in Oregon will be re duced from 83 to 25. According to Howard Strode, price board supervisor of south ern Oregon, some boards are being closed already in this vi . clnity and businesses will be co ordinated under fewer heads. Lakcvlcw office will be closed and prices for Lake county will ' be controlled through the Klam ath county office in Klamath Falls. Three boards will be coordi nated under the Medford office, with Ashland and Grants Pass offices closing by January 1. Reduce Staffs With rationing off every com modity except sugar and tires, each office of price administra tion is reducing its staff and will continue to eliminate sur plus workers as the need for their services expires. Although nearly all articles '. are no longer, rationed, .all prices will remain fixed accord ing to OPA designation until further notice: With the re moval of rationing a closer check on prices will be kept by the boards to prevent inflation now, Strode said." No violations of fixed OPA prices will be tolerated, the supervisor emphasized, and some such system as grocery stores in surrounding cities are using offering goods free that are marked above ceiling prices will be encouraged with merchants here, to make the job easier for OPA officials. Foolish Hop? The hope of many that tires and sugar may soon go on ine ration list, is a foolish one. Strode pointed out. There will not be any greater quantity of these articles as the supply is still limited, but without ration ing, the greedy ones will grab what there is by virtue of get ting at them quicker or having friends that can, and others who may be in greater need may be left in the cold. Markets will continue to pay four cents a pound to house wives for used fats and oils, and they are still valuable to the war emergency. U. S.

Castes fa L -7 UULTWJtPLiOWH Enjoy The Little . ... Things By EARL WHITLOCK I was Teading. an article the other day in which some man was wondering why it was that the potatoes that he' and his young pals had roasted o u t in their secret hideout, when he was a boy, had possessed a flavor so much more de licious than any he had eaten since. And why it was that the small bit of bread passed at communion had such a delightful llavor. I wonder if it wasn't because, in the cave, potato was all he had to eat, and in the church, that bit of bread was all he had to taste. So naturally, he could devote his full attention to en joying it. If he had had meat, potatoes ' and. pie in addition, either in., church or cave, he would; hot- have -been so in trigued with the , simpler things, o..:-. - Life is- "so "complicated these days, wejhave so many benefits to ciaim our attention, so many dishes on, the table, so many attractions .to attend oi an eve nine, so many books to read that we seldom take time -to savor fully any one thing that we cat or do or .read. Yet there are in daily com- monness. a lot of avenues to freater-happiness. All of them ilong very simple ways, 'past common- scenes and every-day experiences. All of them immensely enjoy- uie a we would just take lime out to appreciate them. Next Monday Mr. Whitlock the .pari Whitlock Funeral lome will comment on "Fate." (Continued from Page One) the SUSPICIONS that are everywhere hampering progress toward better human relations, we might be able to get some where in the direction of a better world in which great wars will be less likely. UARASSED, dispossessed. A starving, afraid-of-the-future Jews are Douring into Palestine from all over Europe and are reported today to be rioting and shooting in their efforts to force tlicir way in, Arabs or no Arabs. Under all the circumstances of the past half dozen years, we can hardly blame the Jews. But suppose they started pouring in to Oregon and northern Cali fornia, regardless of immigra tion laws and everything else save their own immediate se curity? We'd be pretty badly stirred up. So, you see, we can hardly blame the Arabs. The situation in Palestine points out for us some of the difficulties Involved In this post war readjustment the world is facing. CORMER Secretary of State r Hull tells the Pearl Harbor Investigating committee today that, "the Japs were hell bent for war in 1941." He adds that he urged upon Mr. Roosevelt the keeping of the fleet in Hawaiian waters for PSYCHOLOGICAL effect. He defined "psychological ef fect" thus: "If you happened to have a double-barreled shotgun in the house and were talking' to a desperado, you d feel a little bet ter and he'd feel a little worse if he saw the psychological out line of that weapon." THE fault in that reasoning is that you'd LOAD THE SHOT. GUN. We left the fleet helpless, like a sitting duck, in Pearl Harbor and failed to take even ordinary precautions against any attempt ay an enemy tnat mignt try to SHOOT the tempting duck. Until that point is cleared up, the American people will con tinue to feel that the truth about Pearl Harbor hasn't been told. When World War H began in 1939, there were 158 persons on the U. S. embassy staff in Lon don. At the war's end there were 276.
