VETERANS PLAN
FOR BUILDING
CLATSKANIE— A Clatskanie
Veterans’ hall is proposed.
Plans have been sketched and
ideas for raising money for the
building have been decided upon.
This week letters are being
mailed to veterans of all wars
and to friends asking for their
financial support.
The need of such a building
is felt by the two veterans’ or­
ganizations in town and it is
their desire to have the build­
ing erected or at last to have
the wherewithal to do it by the
time the boys come back from
the present war.
Preliminary estimates place
the cost at $15,000.00. A well
equipped and properly arranged
meeting room and dance floor
is planned. From this dance floor
it is anticipated that enough
money can be raised over a per­
iod of time to repay all those
who advanced their money for
this purpose.
MILITARY KNOWLEDGE
SOUGHT HERE
ST. HELENS — A represen­
tative of the U. S. army intelli­
gence was in St. Helens last
week and issued an appeal to
all Columbia county residents
who have been in enemy occu­
pied territory and might have
information of military value to
contact the intelligence.
With the war reaching the
stage where it might branch to
any of a number of potential
theatres of war in the Pacific
and on the Asiatic continent,
the representative indicated the
urgent need for prompt action
by any person having conceiva­
bly vital information.
Any person who has traveled
in or visited or lived in Japan,
China, French Indo-China, Siam
or other Japanese-occupied coun­
tries since 1930 are asked to
contact the military intelligence
by writing to box 951, Portland.
Any pictures of these coun­
tries in the possession of any
Columbia county residents arc
particularly sought by the mili­
tary.

of the strawberry growers of the

twelve months, is based on the
monthly consumers’ study of Inves­
tors Syndicate of Minneapolis.
The American public in Novem­
ber had a "real income” of 99 cents,
or one cent on the dollar less than
in November, 1943. This “real in­
come" is not a subtraction of cash
income and expenditures but an
average relative of these figures
designed to show how living costs
affect adjusted income dollars.
Cash income of the American pub­
lic in November was 99 cents for
every $1 a year earlier. The follow­
ing changes per dollar were: wages
off 7 cents, salaries off 5 cents on
the $1.00; other income up 9 cents
on the dollar and Investment in­
come at $1.13 was up thirteen cents.
Rents in November were un­
changed compared with a year ago.
Clothing was up three cents. Food
was one cent lower. Miscellaneous
items were up one cent.
