New Pine Creek
The annual East Side grange
picnic up at their new park in
Vine Creek canyon was about
the biggest event that took place
here over the Fourth. There was
a large turn-out and those at
tending remarked about the
good old-fashioned spirit that
prevailed, having as they put it,
a real good time and plenty of
good eats."
There were all kinds of foot
races that enthusiastic children
participated in and many of the
older men and women cast aside
their dignity and knuckled down
for a grand start, albeit not as
fast as it once was, but never
theless, perhaps a wee more com
ical, in execution, for a race that
they would probably feel for a
week thereafter. And in conclu
sion the big tug o'war across the
creek where xme side just had
to get its feet wet, climaxed the
sporting events of the festive oc
casion. There was a vacuous
calm which the "old sticks" thor
oughly enjoyed and that was the
obvious lack of any fireworks.
This again reverberates the eco
nomic disturbances of a total
war that leaves in its wake of
readjustment, shortages, sever
ances from tradition and custom.
The grange met last Saturday
evening with a small crowd in
attendance due to a July Fourth
fatigue and partly due to the
bus)' harvest season that is get
ting well under way.
Charlie Lark in received word
this morning that his brother,
John Larkin, age 86, of Alturas.

Shortages are
holding him back
We in the Bell System were add
ing telephones at the rate of three
million a year, until shortages
started getting worse. Now it's
harder and harder for us to get
materials for manufacturing and
building.
We aren't complaining for we
are in the same boat as every one '
else. But we thought you might
like to know the supply situation
on some of the biggest items in
the telephone business.
LEAD There is a world shortage of
lead. Even when conditions here
straighten out, it will be some time
before adequate supplies are available.
COPPER In great demand but we
will probably have adequate supplies
when the smelting, refining and fabri
cating plants get going.
TEXTILES Serious shortage of cot
ton and synthetic yarns and fabrics,
with demand greatly exceeding supply.
STEEL Steel and coal strikes have
.affected supply in (ace of unprecedented
demand.
RUBBER Synthetics are In fair sup
ply but natural rubber is on Govern
ment allocation.
LUMBER Scarce supply due to un
precedented demand and dislocation of
lumber trade.
BRASS MILL PRODUCTS Used In
Central Office switches and other tele
phone equipment. Supply will be short
until disturbed conditions are settled in
the copper industry, permitting brass
mills to get back to full-scale produc
tion. It's a tough situation, but we
aren't giving up, any more than
you have given up trying to get
butter or sugar or shirts.
We're doing the best we can
with what we've got and hoping
these disturbed conditions will
end, so we can really go full speed
ahead.
