St. Helens Branch of the United States National Bank The red stamp cost of meats during August will be substantial ly the same as at present, while the housewife will pay an addition al two ration points a pound for butter and one point less for shortening, lard, salad and cook ing oil’s, the office of price ad ministration announced Tuesday. These changes are made in the OPA official table of consumer point values for meats, fats and dairy products, which is effective from August 1 through September 4- k In contrast to previous months, the changes in meat values are negligible, with the major revi sions confined to the fats and oils group. The two-point increase in the value of butter, which places the ration cost of this item at 10 points per pound, is offset some extent by the cut of one point in lard, shortening, Salad and cooking oils. No change is made in the value of margarine, which re mains at the July figure of four points per pound. Head Office, Portland, Oregon ERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATIO How About That Oil? Have you neglected to have that oil in your car changed when you know it should have been done?

WEST COAST TELEPHONE CO. w Most Meats Same The point values of all popular types of meat will be the same in August as during the present month. Plates, jowls, and fat backs—pork cuts which are used for rendering lard—are reduced one point to reflect the one point cut in lard vplue. In the canned meat category, meat spreads are dropped to five points per pound, the same value as potted meat, a similar product. Pigs feet (fresh and cured), and pork backbones may be purchased point free beginning August 1 as the ration values of these items have been reduced from one point to zero points per pound. This ac tion is due to the unusually large supply of these items which the government agencies do not pur chase. Canned pigs feet, bone in, are assigned a value of one point for August, as compared with a two-point value during July. The point value of boneless canned pigs feet will be the same (three) in August as in July. Ready-to-eat pigs feet, bone in, are reduced one point. FARM LAND VALUES SHOW INCREASE Farm land values on March 1, 1943 were higher than they were in 1942, the bureau of agricultur al economics said, in explaining that the index of average per acre values had risen to 99. (1912 to 1914 equals 100). The index of average per acre values in March 1942, was 91. A low point of 33 was reached in 1933 in the after math of inflation started during the last war. One anti-inflation ary force at the present time is the fact that many farmers have been using a considerable part of their cash income to pay off mort gage debts. Procedure through which farm ers of Columbia county may apply for copper wire for farmstead wiring is explained by W. C. John sen, chairman of the Columbia county USDA war board, which has been given the responsibility of handling a distribution program on this farm supply item locally. Mr. Johnson said that both new and old users of electricity may make application to the county war board for an allotment of wire and if they meet standards for essential permitted uses, the board will issue them a copper wire allotment certificate provided the county quota is not exceeded. The applicants will then present this certificae to a local dealer for purchase of the wire. The cer tificate must be used within 10 days after it is issued or it will become void. The certificates will be used bv the local dealer to ob tain supplies or to replace his in ventories of copper wire. Approvals Limited Mr. Johnson emphasized that ap proval for copper wire will be given only for essential needs which will add to the food pro duction program or save labor on the farm. The number of livestock and poultry on the farm will de termine how much wire can be al lotted for a farm. The maximum amount of wire which can be al lotted will be the minimum that will take care of essential needs for the duration of the war. Mr. John.-on said that while al lotments of wire will b^ released for essential food production and labor-saving purposes, it cannot be made available for dwellings. Also new farm users of electricity must be able to qualify for power line extensions before they will be eli gible for copper wire under the new distribution program. To qual ify fcr a power line extension, a farm is required to have a speci fied number of animal units and be within a reasonable distance from a power line. Old users of electricity who wish to extend electrical service on their farms are required to meet the s:me standards. Small Purchases Excluded Farmers will not need to apply for certain small purchases of wiring materials under this pro cedure. WPB priorit’es regulation No. 19 provides that simply by certifying to his local dealer that he is a farmer and needs the equip ment for production purposes this year, a farmer may purchase up to 75 feet of irfbulated copper wire (except for household use), up to 75 feet of certain kinds of cable, and some wiring fittings. In new farm construction which requires approval of the war production board under conservation order L-41, wiring needs should be in cluded in the application for ap proval of sveh construction, in stead of through the new distri bution system announced recently. Thursday, Julv 29, 1943 Valid Period lor Coupons Flexible Provision for allowing rativn holders to use B, C, E and R gas oline coupons beyond the fixed period for. which they were is sued and until renewals are ob tained have been announced by the district OPA, effective July 24. This is the effect of an amend ment to the gasoline rationing regulations substituting “earliest renewal dates” in the case of sup plemental’, official, fleet and non highway rations for “expiration dates,” previously used. The amendment also provides for issuing all B ration books for a fixed 3-months period, rather than on a “time-tailored” basis. Individual rations will be tailored by tearing out coupons. In the Eastern shortage area, B books will continue to be issued for 4 months. Expiration Later However, coupons will not ne cessarily expire and become inval id at the end of this fixed period, now to be known as the “earliest renewal date,” but may continue to be used until a renewal of the ration ' has been obtained and is valid for use. This will also apply to non-highway users holding E and R coupons. Previously rations could not be used after they expired and regu lations required that coupons • so invalidated be surrendered to war price and rationing boards within five days after expiration. Under the amendment ration holders will be permitted to apply PROGRAM TO AVOID CLOTHES RATIONING A program to make clothes ra tion unnecessary, recently an nounced by Donald M. Nelson, chairman of WPB, contains these six points: (1) increased produc tion, (’2) orderly and adequate distribution, (3) more “volume” merchandise, (4) allocation of ma terials to essential needs, (5) in creased imports of burlap, and (6) proper care of clothing by consumers. There is an adequate supply of textiles to meet civilian needs, the WPB has determined. No Matter How Busy You Are, Take Time Out to Relax!

Packing a lunchbox or two every day can be come quite a problem. Shopping at Sam’s will keep lunchbox contents varied and tasty, as Sam’s shelves contain a large variety of foods which will make lunch packing easy—breads, pastries, lunch meats, spreads, fruits, and vege tables—to make a balanced meal. SAM’S FOOD STORE GROCERIES, FRUITS AND VEGETABLES An Independent, Home-Owned Grocery Enough to Go Around Now, for the first time io year*, both farmers and manufacturers can work for the biggest possible yield without thinking about the market. This year they can sell all they can produce. As things took now, this condi- tion is due to keep up for some time, but we can't count on its lasting forever. Ortainl, noMi want, « prttprrity built warl So it's high time that everybody con cerned—and that is nrrybmiy— gave some thought to keeping things running after the war. , You’re busy/ we know. So are wd. The important thing right now is seeing that there's enough of everything to go around. But we've been devoting a little atten 3 for the renewals within 15 days before the “earliest renewal date” or at any time after that date. tion to the problems of the future, too. We feel that the people who have the producing job to do can contribute a lot to the solution of those problems. And we hope that you, too, busy as you are with growing more food than this country’s ever pro duced, Will be turning these problems over in your mind. For if America’s farmers and manufac turers, working together, can't find a way to keep the richest country on earth producing enough for everybody, and let the producers make a living in the process—if they can’t, why then, who can?
