It also took the extra sweep out
Of nightgowns and pajarnas.
The board issued what Il called
Limitation Order 116, effective at

Lets Ladies Do Bit
The order, the WPB said. know.
ing full well that women were
prepared to do their part In the
war, was issued to prohibit "the
use OF unnecessary yardage in
women's and children's lingerie"
The board then explained that
the order applied only to nights
gowns, slips, petticoats and pas
jamas.
Dutifully. the WPB explained:
at does not apply to other
types Of undertakings, In which,
~ . rule, little extra cloth u
used"
Thus Scantiss Escape
It was with that paragraph that
the board decided that scanties
were fimsy enough.
Under the order. ruffles, all
over-pleating or tucking. full

Individual Heroism
And Skill Revealed

These stories I have told you
are not exceptional. They are
typical examples of individual he
roiSm and skill.
AS we here at home contem-
plate our own duties, our own re-
sponSibilities, let us think and
think hard of the example which
is being set for us by our fighting
men.
Our soldiers and sailors are
members of well disciplined units.
But they are still and forever in
dividuals-free individuals. They
are farmers, workers, business
men. professional men, artists,
clerks.
They are the United States OF
America.
That is why they fight.
We, too, are the United States
of America.
That is why we must work and
sacrifice.
1t is for them. II is for us. II
is for victory.

A few days later Doctor Was

men reached Australia safely.
Doctor Wasdell now wears the
Navy Cross.
Another story concerns a ship
rather than an individual man.
You may remember the tragic
sinking of the submarine Squalls
of the New England coast in the
summer of 1889. Some of the
crew were lost. but others were
saved by the speed and efficiency
of the surface rescue crews. The
Squalls itself was tediously raised
from the bottom of the ocean.
Eventually she sailed again I'M
der a new name, the u. S. S.
Sailfish. Today, she is a potent
and effective unit OF our SUBJ
marine feet.
The Sailfish has covered many
thousands of miles in operations
in the far western Pacific.
She has sunk a japanese de-
stroyer.
She has torpedoed a japanese
cruiser.

ADMINISTRA-
TON

In order to administer the uni
versal ceiling. OPA has made ex-
tensive changes in its organization.
A retail trade and services division
has been established in the Wash
ington office. This division will
have responsibility for ironing out
irregularities in the ceiling at the
retail level and for working with
retailers in the administration of
the regulation.
The present regional offices of
the OPA situated in Boston. New
York, Cleveland, Atlanta, Dallas,
Chicago. Denver and San Fran
cisco are being enlarged, and a
special staff has been stationed in
all the regional offices to aid in
for the new program.
In addition. state and district
offices are being opened to decen-
tralize administration as widely as
possible. The process Of decentral-
ization eventually will involve the
establishment Of local war prices
and rationing boards in each COM
immunity.
Further information on the reg
|ulation will be made available by
|OPA through the press and radio.
Urgent inquiries should be ad-
dressed TO the regional office serv-
ing the area in which the person
resides. To facilitate the work OF
OPA 1t Is requested that such COM
munications be confined during the
next few weeks TO those of the
most compelling character.

Three Serving Today
On the Same Ship

Three of the enlisted men OF our
navy who went down with the
Squalls i'm 1899 are today serving
on the same ship. the Sailfish, In
this war.
1t is heartening to know that
the Squalls. once given up as lost
rose from the depths TO fight for
our country in time OF peril.
One more story, which heard
only this morning:
This is a story OF one OF our
army flying fortresses operating In
the western Pacific. The pilot OF
this plane is a modest young man
proud OF his crew for one OF the
toughest fights a bomber has YET
experienced.
The bomber departed from il:
base, as part of a flight of five
TO attack japanese transports
which were landing troops in the
Philippines. When they had gone
about half way TO their deStina-
ton, one of the motors of this
bomber went out of commission
The young pilot lost contact with
the other bombers. The crew
however got the motor working
again and the plane proceeded on
its mission alone.
BY the time il arrived at It's
target the other four flying for.
treSseS had already passed over
had dropped their bombs, and had
stirred up the hornets nest OF
japanese zero" planes. Eighteen
OF them attacked our one flying
fortress. Despite this mass attack,
our plane proceeded on its mission,
and dropped all of its bombs on
six japanese transports which
were lined up along the docks.

ward journey a running fight be-
tween the bomber and the Is Japa-
nese pursuit planes continued for
Is miles. Four pursuit ships at

and were shot down with the side
guns.
During his fight. the bombers
radio operator was killed. the
engineers right hand was shot off.
and one gunner was crippled. leav-
ing only one man available TO

radio was shot off. and the oxygen
system was entirely destroyed.

The fight continued until the
remaining japanese pursuit ships
exhausted their ammunition and
turned back. With two engines
gone and the plane practically out
of control. the American bomber
returned TO its base after dark and
made an emergency landing. The
mission had been accomplished.

must apply the most nearly similar

Inevitably, there will be small

seller will be unable to price under
any Of the foregoing methods.
These commodities usually will be

And from the Chinese theater
of war comes the discouraging
news that the port of WenchOw
has fallen into the hands of the
enemy-a fact which means that
China now has only one ocean
port left, that of Foochow. To-
ward that the Japanese are now
directing their steps.
Persons who are intimately ac-
quainted with China insist that the
country can never be conquered.
That may be so-it is likely to be
too vast task for even Japan. But
in Chungking, the temporary capital
of the country, it is felt, neverthe-
less, that even though complete con-
quest may not be accomplished, there
is a tremendous danger of future
japanese economic and political con-
troll, and that is one of the reasons
why China joins Russia in new and
insistent appeals to the other United
Nations for immediate help, adequate
help, in short, the opening of that
Second Front which has been vague
ly promised, indefinitely limited at.
One may take it for granted that
that front will not be established
until there is certainty beyond every
doubt that it will be sue
cessful.

Now, of course, the canal is OF
tremendous Importance to the Brit

the fact that it provides the most
important line of communication be-

India.
And India is likely to be at

Germans and Japanese (the lat

tions for such an assault through

Will India defend herself? Not
if Mohandas Gandhi can help it!
During the last few days he has
made definite preparations to resume
his non-violent resistance to the Brit
ish crown as long as India is not
given independence. A change of
his tactics is limited at his state
ment to the effect that it may not
be possible to avoid violence in the
fight for independence. At all events,
Britain cannot count on very effec-
tive native resistance to a possible
axis attack.

The fate of India-as well as that
of Russia-may, in final analysis,
hinge on the outcome of the war be-
tween China and Japan.

Health Ward
Information furnished by Pine County
Nursing Service.

Miss Laura Nelson did some check
ups this week to see if those who
were supposed to see their doctors
about eye correction had done so.
In order to maintain good eyesight,
one should have plenty of healthful
exercise out of doors. Increasing the
duration of sleep for night or two
may be helpful and have much ap-
parent effect. Give the eyes plenty
of rest after correction. If glasses
are prescribed wear them as one
should.
tuberculosis cases have been
checked and Miss Nelson has been
doing bedside care in some cases.
The school children of this county
were Mantoux tested and the positive
re-actors were X-rayed this spring.
