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.

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."

the SUSPICIONS that are
everywhere hampering progress
toward better human relations,
we might be able to get some

better world in which great wars
will be less likely.

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.
