t Mrs. America Meets the War for a school of nursing may be either married or single. Mrs. America’« refrigerators, rad io, and range should last for the duration because parts for most of these appliances are still available. Except for the metals alloted for the repair parts, there’s practically none if this critical material going into consumer goods. Out of more than 90 millions tons of ingot steel expected to be'produced this year, only about a qu rter of a million tons will go into durable goods. Most of that is to be used to repair parts to keep the American family’s automobile, refr.gerator, vacuum cleaner and other durable goods running for the duration.

OPA Removes Varying Prices on Low Grade Logs Price differentials between mark et areas in Oregon and Washing ton for lower grades of logs have been removed by OPA in an action designed to stimulate logging of all lower grades to meet the extreme demands for all logs required by the war program, the state OPA an nounces. The action taken with the issu ance of revised maximum price regulation No. 161 (west coast logs), effective January 22, also raises the price of No. 1 sawmill and peeler grades of logs for the Columbia river district and extends the limits of that district to include the area north of Lane county, Oregon, except Lincoln and Tilla mook counties. In order to insure proper scal ing and grrding, OPA included a provision which requires that on and after February 22, 1943, all scaling and grading must be performed by four specified bureaus or by graders and sealers approved by OPA. All logs of Douglas fir, western red cedar, western hemlock, west ern white fir, noble fir, and Sitka spruce produced in Oregon and Washington west of the crest of the Cascade mountains are a'fected by the January 22 action. Maximum Prices Raised Here’s a message addressed to Mrs. America and her daughter. Uncle Sam needs nurses, and if there are to be enough to meet the minimum civilian and military needs 65,000 trainees must be recruited for training schools between Jure 30, 1943 and July 1, 1944. If you’re between 18 and 35 years old, phys ically fit, and have at least a high school education, you meet the bas ic qualifications. And an applicant Soup’s on again, according to the war production board, which will allow canners to use unlimited num bers of cans for packing seasonal soups such as asparagus, pea, spin ach, and tomato, but the order is not so generous when it comes to chicken, consomme, clam or fish chowder, vegetable or other soups. These will be limited to 75 per cent of the amount of cans used in 1942. However, all kinds of soups will be under point rationing sometime in February, so whether it’s asparagus or chicken it will mean ration coup ons for canned soups. The maximum dollars and cents prices previously established for all west coast logs of No. 2 grade and lower in the Columbia river district in Oregon, and the Willapa bay and Grays Harbor district in Washing ton are now raised to the level of the ceilings established by the reg ulation for these logs in the Puget Sound district. The action will not result in increased priecs for lum ber produced from these logs.
