Vernonia Eagle Mrs. America Meets the War War Production Board orders cur tailin'» civilian use of essential raw materials have been rolling cff the line for a year now—divertin'» hundred, of items from family u»e to military needs. Figures show that vour family—the average American family—is giving un 3.12 pounds of aluminum a year—enough required for eight incendiary bombs. The brass vour family is doing without is just what it takes for thirtv-six .30 calibre cartridges. The list goes on and on—1,100 tons of •-on and steel for the war effort instead of for ash trays and 25.000 tons of precious metals that will help put the Axis in the shade in stead of being made into Venetian blinds. Even the children are doing their part—100,000 tons of iron and steel saved from tov produc tion goes into the nation’s war ef fort. If you are a city resident, your family can still expect bus service to beaches, public parks and other resorts for the time being. The Of fice of Defense Transportation con tends that American families need the relaxation and rest they get at beaches and similar resorts even more these days because of the heavy pressure of war work. That being the case, restrictions on in tercity bus service will not apply to your beach excursion as long as the facilities are available. But you are urged to visit resorts in the im- me4'"te vicinity of vour home. Whims in redecoration or repaint- inp or« out for the duration.

National Aluminum Classified Collection Weighed Ads.............. From -Washington, D. 'C. came v'ord that the total amount of a- luminum collected during the alum inum campaign amounted to 11,» 145,126 pounds of metal scrap of which 6,400,000 or 57.4 per cent was aluminum. The remainder was largely iron and steel with small amounts of copper, brass, pewter and other materials included. All the metal scrap was shipped from concentration points in the various states to 27 approved smelt ers throughout the country. These smelters melted the pots, pans and other kitchen utensils and then sold the aluminum ingots to the Metals Reserve company at prices estab lished by the Office of Price Ad ministration. The Metals Reserve company, in turn, has resold most of this aluminum to plants engaged directly in war work. The entire proceeds from the sale of the aluminum to the smelters has gone into the Miscellaneous Funds Account o“f the United States Treasury. No expenses were in curred in connection with this cam paign and the gross receipts of the Treasury Department from the sale of the aluminum amounted to approximately $550,000.00.

This same legislation also re duces interest rates on land sales contracts and purchase money mort gages held by both the land bank or the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation. Both of these regular 5 per cent rates, reduced to 4 per cent for the next two years. Since 1935 the contract rate of interest for Federal and Bank loans made through National Farm Loan Associations has been 4 per cent. From 1917 to 1935 loans were made at various rates up to 6 per cent during the “high money” days, Stook said. The contract rate for commissioner loans is 5 per cent. In Columbia county the total a- mount outstanding in Federal Land Bank and land bank commissioner loans, contracts and purchase mon ey mortgages is approximately $700,000. from Vernonia will appreciate receiving the Vernonia Eagle TEXAS REDHEAD STARRED The Forest Grove NATIONAL BANK Invites You to Bank by Mail if Inconvenient to Come in Person J.
