JUST one year ago, come Monday,
J December eth, they asked for it at Pearl
Harbor. And today, just twelve months
later, we're dishing it out
Yes, this "soft, luxury-loving" nation
of ours, disdained by the forces of deceit
brutality and oppression, has become
people aroused to the defense of its liber
ty. Devoted TO the ways of peace, We
have turned with one thought and one
purpose to the grim designs of war.
Men and women, young and old in our
factories, our farms and our homes have
answered the call For twelve months, we
have frightened our belts without COM
plant, asking only to be shown the way.

Following the two recent speak
ers before the chamber of conn
merce on the Smith Bone power
bill, resolution asking that no
further action be taken toward its
consideration until hearings had
been held in the Pacific North
west was passed tf1is noon. The
resolution was introduced by M. M.
Moulton and no dissenting vote was
recorded. r. :.
Couple of weeks ago an attorney
representing the Pacific Power &
Light Co. explained several of the
Provisions of the bill to the cham
Der. Last week, an attorney repre-
senting the PUBS ON the coast was
present to give their side of the con-
troyersy. Today's action came as
result of the hearings. y
The resolution further carried a
section asking that, inasmuch as
the nation was at war and as this
proposition required much consider
alton, the matter be allowed TO lie
until after the war.

No Milk Famine
If Lifting Ceiling
is the Answer
OPA board to grant
permission if farmers
make request

1t looks like the local dairy sit
uation is saved-if lifting the cell
ing prices will have anything TO do
with it, according to Mayor A. O..
Anon, who made a report today,
Last week, following the inroduc-
ton of the resolution to the district
OPA board asking for permission to
increase the ceiling price on milk,
Mayor Anon contacted the field
man for the Seattle office, asking
for an immediate investigation or
the local situation. Anon was be-
coming exercised over the number
of dairymen who were FOLDING UP,
others who were cutting down on
the number of head being MIXED
all with the fine prospect OF local
milk famine.
Tuesday a MIR. Hoover was sent
to the district to make the investi-
cation. He found that the repre-
sentations were correct and that the
dairymen were actually cutting down
on their herds and the situation did
look serious insofar as the local milk
production was concerned.
After a two-day inspection OF the
local dairy situation he advised that
each farmer producing milk make
separate application DO the board for
permission to raise the price above
the March ceiling. Special applica-
tion blanks will he ready at the Of
flee Of the local rationing board the
last of this week. He advises that
the farmers then contact County
Agent Skuse, who was instructed as
to how to make out the papers.
Then Mr.. Hoover stated, the APP
plications should be forwarded TO
the district office and the permits
sion should be obtained within ten
days or two weeks. He was con-
cerned also about the local situa-
ton and stated that his recommen-
dations would be strongly for the
granting the request made in the
resolution.

played in the place Of business.

OPA All Set to
Handle Future 49,. /.
RatiOning Program
Books being prepared
to handle any commod-
ity decided upon

Rumors that OPA is going TO ra-
tion certain specific commodities
have arisen from that agency's plans
to meet future emergencies with ade-
quate ration machinery, Paul M. o.
Leary, deputy administrator in
charge of rationing, said today.
.tRunnors thus started, are not TRUE.
A competent discharge of our duties
requires that we be ready to meet
any emergency as lit arises. We
launch new rationing programs when
the War Production Board finds
shortages existing in the supply OF
the commodity or article affected,
and orders us to start rationing. We
are the technioians We're trying TO
be ready with the right machinery
the minute it is needed.
I'VE are planning the. rationing
machinery for many commodities in
which there is no present need for
rationing," Mr.. OIeary said. "In
this respect, we're like the fire de-
partnent. 1T gets its firefighting
equipment ahead of time so when
the alarm sounds, they don't have to
go shopping for fire engine in or
der to go to the fire" sS@
The present advance planning goes
in two principal directions, MIR. o.
Leary said. E. .s--.s
zone is the working out of a uni
versal rationing book, which, placed
in the hands of every citizen of the
country, could be used for the ra-
tioning of any commodity or article
in which a shortage occurred.
'fSuch a book is being designed ex-
perimentally for the OPA now, and
proof copies are being prepared at
the Government printing office. If it
can be made workable, we would
have i'm our hands an, instrument
that would enable us to start a ra-
tioning program almost overnight
instead Of having to take six to ten
weeks as in the past when we have
