TIRES FOR TRUCKS
ON VALLEY FARMS

Action of the county board of super
yisors in appealing to Paul Barksdale
d'Orr, state ratloning administrator, for
a revision of truck tire quotas for lmpe
rial county spotlights again one of the
gravest mistakes of the rationing system.
We know it is true in Imperial county
that the method of determining quotas is
grave error which endangers this coun-
ty's part in the war effort. We have no
figures at hand to tell us how many
other counties in California, and in the
nation, have been the victims of similar
errors, but it is logical assumption that
this is not the only county so affected.
Spread very far throughout the coun-
try, the system we know to be in effect
here could cripple the source of Ameri-
cas- food supply and-if this war is an
exceedingly long one-cause great deal
of hardship for service men and civilians
alike
Tire quotas here, and throughout Cali
fornia, are now determined on basis of
population. For passenger automobiles,
such basis might be only ''non-essential-
ly" unfair, in that it does not recognize
the need of areas such as this IN which
people have to travel greater distances
by automobile, and have no other method
of transportation available within their
communities.
For truck tires, the population method
of figuring quotas works a hardship in
essential enterprises. That is bound to
be true in any region which is predomi-
nently agricultural, and especially so in
one as mechanized as the valley.
Those trucks we use in our farming
fields are not luXuries. Without them,
there would be no movement of crops to
shipping centers. The land would lie idle
and idle land is traitorous land, these
days. Yet it would not be the fault of
the farmers that the land is idle 1t would
be the fault of those officials in charge
of determining how quotas shall be fixed.
If they insist on the error that COM
munity is entitled to more trucks merely
because there are more people in it, they
will penalize all farmers, and favor all
metropolitan areas. The result will be
that non-essential trucks in the cities can
continue to operate, while essential trucks
on the farms will have to be laid up for
lack of tires.
The sooner rationing officials rectify
this error, the sooner the farmer can give
his maximum effort to winning the war.

THE FIX WE'RE IN
(Oroville Mercury-Register)

To get an idea of the plight in which
the United States finds itself consider
the demands that are being made for our
help.
Rommel's drive means we must send
help to Egypt.
Germany's drive means we must help
Russia.
China's plight and the lowering of NOR
ale there means we must help China, even
to flying supplies in.
Australia demands help, although that
demand isn't heard as often as before.
Alaska must be strengthened if we are
to hold the Aleutian islands and keep
open our route to Siberia.
We must keep supplying Hawaii.
We have large expeditiOnary force
in Britain that we must enlarge and sup
ply.
We must keep supplies flowing to the
British Isles.
We must keep an eye to the south, for
the Panama Canal is vital and we cannot
neglect our South American friends.
Meanwhile, all our help is slowed down
by the U-boat war of attrition in the At
lantic.
Once we get strong enough to defend
ourself everywhere and strong enough
in one or two localities for successful Of
fensives, then the problem will be on
the Axis.

IT IS MORE
PLEASANT, TOO
Jacksonville Register)

Jacksonville Register)
There is one important way in which
every one of us can contribute to the ma
ton'S available manpOwer for the prose-
cutlon of the war IN ADDITION TO
OUR OWN PERSONAL EFFORTS.
That is by helping make the manpower
OF the agencies that serve our daily needs
more effective. Maybe, this sounds fuzzy
and general; then lets make it specific.
Try to do your shopping in depart
ment stores, food markets, specially
shops, and dozen and one other mer-
camille places at times that avoid the
rush hours of business. You would be
amazed what difference a general OBJ
servance of this rule might make. A
smaller staff could handle more trade
and handle it more easily for the clerks
and with less delay for the average Gus
toner, If this were done
Business houses could ease the post
offices burden if they would pursue the
simple policy of mailing their letters
twice or three times day instead of
waiting until night to dump the whole
accumulation into the chutes.
Barber shops, gasoline stations, clean
ing establishments, restaurants, shoe re-
pair places, transportation lines, and
whole long list of similar service bus-
nesses have their peak hours -or peak
days; try to avoid those peaks, and you
will be helping both yourself and them.
You will be contributing to the manpower
supply of the country.
All these businesses are of necessity
hiring inexperienced help. These substi-
tutes are doing the best they can. Give
them break by not piling unnecessary
demands on their shoulders. Give the
stores break, through steering clear
of the rush periods, thus not forcing
them to put on still more of these un-
trained workers.
Besides, it's more fun to shop when you
aren't being elbowed around by other
shoppers. You have a better selection,
too.

MIND YOUR
MANNERS

Test your knowledge of correct
social usage by answering the fol-
lowing questions, then checking
against the authoritative answers
below:
l. Is it sometimes better when
you have made an untactful re-
mark to let it pass than to stop
and apologize?
2. When making an apology, is
it a good idea to slip in a compli-
ment if you can do it in a subtle
way?
3. Is it good manners to apollo
gize out of proportion to the faux
pas committed?
4. When a friend hands you a
group snapshot which includes you,
should your first comment be, "Oh,
look terrible?
5. When a friend has a photo
graph taken, should you insist on
being given one?
What would you do if
You do not receive an answer
to a business letter.
(a) Write a second letter saying
that you wrote earlier, but repeat
ing what was in the first letter?
(b) Write letter demanding that
the first be answered?
Answers
!. Yes. Often am apology only
calls attention to a slip that might
have passed unnoticed.
2. yes.
3. No.
4. No. Comment on others be-
fore yourself.
5. No, because photographs are
often expensive. You may, how
ever, say you would like to have
one and then let the matter drop.
Better what Would You Do"
solution-(a). Your first letter may
have been lost and you will only
waste time if you do not repeat in
your second letter what was in the
first.

R0SAR CANNOT
HOLD TWO JOBS

BUFFALO, NY, July % (UP)-
Catcher Buddy Rosar of the New
York Yankees will not be permit
ted to divide his time between base
ball and the Buffalo police depart
ment, Mayor Joseph j. Kelly said
today.
Rosar left the Yankees without
permission to take an examination
for the police job, announcing that
he would play baseball in the sum
mer and serve as a policeman dur
ing the winter if he passed the
test.
Today, however, Mayor Kelly said
that RoSar was aware of the civil
service rule that forbids leaves OF
absence to policemen during their
first year of probationary service.
RoSar is now in Cleveland with
the Yankees. He has been fined
$3.50 and is riding the bench.

We feel sorry for Leon Hender-

All that Mr.. Henderson has to
do is prevent initiation. The simple
task handed to him is that of keep

while wages, raw materials and
transportation go up, without de-
stroying the nations mercantile

ants.
If the price czar lets prices 60 up,
he has failed on his job.

he is an enemy of the working man.
If he advocates an effective cell
ing on farm prices, he is the far
mer'S foe.
The War Labor Board can ap-
prove a pay raise for steel workers
and later perhaps for all in SINH
lar jobs. But Mr.. Henderson can't
let prices go up to absorb such
raises
When gasoline distribution among
dealers works undue hardshipS, and
plan is evolved by Mr.. Hender-
sons staff to correct the evil, he
must get WIPE and Petroleum Ad-
ministration approval and cooper
ation-if he can.
1t was obvious to some from the
beginning, and to most before now,
that ceiling prices can not be main
tanned without subsidies unless we
are prepared to let all but the big
gest businesses go out the window
to ruin small and medium sized
manufacturers and merchants.
When Mr.. Henderson asked Con-
gresS to authorize Such subsidies he
was turned down
The OPA is expected to do one
Of the biggest jobs of adn.inistra-
tive policing in history, and is CIV
en- a very inadequate appropriation
with which to do the job.
If Mr.. Henderson fails, who gets
the blame? Organized labor, the
farmers, Congress, the WLB, the
WFB, Mr. IckeS-or Leon Hender-
son? That right, Leon Henderson
is the goat.

JAPS IN ALASKA

The censors have been able so far to
stop any detailed roundup of what Amer
lean military and naval chieftains know
about japanese penetration of the Aleu-
tian islands, but careful newspaper read
ers are beginning to piece together part
of the story from hundred disconnected
dispatches-and what they CLEAN is not
pleasant.
Evidently the japanese movement into
the Aleutians is no mere diversion" In
one report, the navy says that three Jap
submarines were sunk in that region
War percentages mean there must be ten
times that many Jap subs in Alaskan
waters. Other dispatches tell of carrier
based" Jap planes-and that means Jap
aircraft carriers in the Aleutians War
ships of all classes have been reported
there, and Tuesday the delegate to con-
gress from Alaska said he had received
reports that between 10000 and $4,000
Jap troops have landed in the Aleutians
All of these things spell no mere thrust
to divert attention from somewhere
else The Japs are sending too many men,
too many valuable ships and too many
planes to the Aleutians to be anything
but in dead earnest about it.
Are our own leaders asleep to the dam
ger? The censors will not let us know,
so we can only hope they're taking no
chances, bred of false optimism.

GL0RIFYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NE. Service Staff Writer

A woman who can afford only
one cream and one lotion wants me
to suggest basic beauty items, and
it strikes me this might be handy
for any economizing woman just
now.
There's no doubt that when you
use commercially prepared products
you get efficiency plus comfort and
a psychological lift, if you shop
wisely. There's no doubt it's cas-
ier, pleasanter, to have the beauty
shop do the job.
But also there's no doubt that
homemade beauty and homemade
preparations, with occasional Wis
its to the salon, can do the job, too.
If you can have but one cream,
better get an all-purpose variety
that can be used for cleansing
either before or after soap and
water and can be used for a tissue
cream too. The benefit your skin
gets from this depends ON how much
and how long you leave it on. Try
allowing a thin film to remain over
night at least once a week, and
leave q generous layer around the
eyes and across the forehead.

often wakes up sleepy appetites,
aids digestion by increasing the
flow of gastric juices, and thus
helps to build up resistance against

EVEN ICE WATER
is BENEFICIAL

Your lotion should b a good skin
tonic or a good hand softener. Ii
is is the former, use the all-purpose
cream on hands three nights a week
or use olive oil or whatever you are
substituting for olive oil in wartime
food. If you use nd-softening
lotion, try a homemade substitute
for skin tonic-ice water, for IN
stance, or good quality witch hazel.
Of course you will have to have
lipstick, powder and possibly foun-
dation, and manicure accessories.
But you needn't feel sorry for your
self when others talk of the Won
derful commercially prepared IA
cial masks they've discovered and
which you cannot afford. For you
can mix uncooked oatmeal with
milk or plain water, smooth the
mixture on face and neck let 1T
dry. remove with warm water, and
achieve a well stimulated brighter
face.
Don't forget your hair-one of
the easiest of all beauty assets to
prettify at home.
Daily brushing and lemon rinses
keep it healthy, soft, shining. You
can learn to make ringlet curls
yourself - the d-fashioned kid
curler will do the job, now that
rubber curriers' are out, or you can
use the other cid standby, rolling
the curls on bits of cloth.

Army is trying TO change the
character of the Military Police so
the MP's won't be considered the
soldiers enemy, but his friend. In
the last war the proper conception
of an MP was a big, rough. tough
COP who would clout a soldier over
the head and throw him in the
brig if he didn't toe the straight
and narrow. Idea now is to hand
pick recruits for the Military Po-
lice from regular line organizations,
getting intelligent, high-type men.
They are then indoctrinated with
the principle that every soldier Is
a buddy who must be protected and
kept out of trouble just as though
the MP himself was on leave, in
company with the men, instead OF
on duty to shove the rest of the
army around. Hoped for result of
this policy is to build a better
brother in arms" spirit, give eol-
diers and MP's alike greater pride
IN their profession. Consequently,
next time you see a disorderly SOL
dier, watch the technique in hand
ling him. Chances are the trouble
maker will be led away quietly till
he gets over 1t.

The Japs sacrifice all these in
