Old Trunk RefurbiShed

An old trunk, colorfully painted,
can be made acceptable in the bed
room, for holding clothes or blan-
kets, or in the children's room, fer
holding toys. One such trunk was
painted dead white and, when dry,
antiqued. This was followed by
painting bright flowers along the re-
enforcement bands about the trunk
and painting the hinges black.

Heroic action on the part of the
American marines at Wake island,
in which Lieut.. David Kliewer, form
er Bluffton resident, played a major
role, is described in the current is
sue of the Look magazine.
Lieut.. Kliewer, son of Rev. and
Mrs. P. A. Kliewer, formerly of the
Ebenezer Mennonite church west of
town, was yaledictorian at Bluffton
High school in the class of 1885.
Rev. Kliewer is now located at AL
bany, Oregon, as pastor of the Men
MONTE church there.
The action at Wake island, in
which tiny force of Marines hurled
back a Jap fleet, with pitifully in
adequate equipment will be recorded
in history as the Alamo of the Goth
century, the magazine prophesied.
After all but four of the IL Ma
rine planes had been damaged by a
surprise Jap air attack, Lieut.. Klie-
wer was sect on patrol on the even

the purchasing Of Coop label gro
ceries.
If the program is to be successful
over the entire area 1t will no doubt
become necessary to establish distri-
butive warehouses at different points.
1t is not planned that this will be done
Immediately.
Cooperative oil companies affili-
ated with the Exchange will be asked
to cooperate in making the survey.
Local Farmers Union Cooperative
stores will also have that opportunity.
This is the first major attempt of
the Farmers Union groups in this
area to expand into the distribution
of Coop groceries. By cooperating
in much the same manner as you
have in building the local oil com
panies and the Exchange in other
lines merchandise, the Coop grocery
program will also be successful.
If the people supporting the local
co-operatives are interested in the
Coop grocery program we suggest
that they say SO at their next meet
ing. This program will need the sup
port of many-not few.

employees are working overtime
hours which average 1928 hours per
worker per week.
"Resorting to distortion of the facts,
the old enemies of the Fair Labor
Standards Act are trying to make the
that the act is putting our war effort
on a 40-hour a week basis" Mr..
Walling said.
1.-THE fact that essential war indus
tries are operating their machinery
120, 140, and 100 and more hours
week is the best proof of the extent
of this distortion.
'In the aircraft industry 1913 per
cent of the plants are working 12O
hours or more, 74.9 per cent of the
plants are working 100 hours or more,
and 37.4 per cent 100 hours or more.
"In the aluminium industry IS per
cent of the plants are working 80
hours or more, 35 per cent 120 hours
or more, 80 per cent 100 hours or
more.
"Blast furnaces are being operated
at similar rate. OF these, 98.5 per
cent are operating 100 hours or more
per week, 81 per cent 120 hours or
more per week, 1913 per cent 100 or
more hours week.
"In the shipbuilding industry Cpl
per cent of the yards are operating
80 hours a week or more, 72.5 per
cent 120 hours or more, and 1873 per
cent 160 hours or more.
1.-THE lack of raw materials is a far
more important factor than the short
age of labor in preventing our war
industries from reaching the maxi
mum operation of 16S hours week.
Actually the claim that the over
time provisions of the act are limit
ing the workweek to 40 hours is a
smoke screen. The wiping out of
overtime pay would be windfall to
many employers who have govern
ment contracts obtained on a fixed
price basis" Mr.. Walling said.
Neither the minimum wage nor the
overtime provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act, the Walsh Healey Act
or others of our laws for the protec-
ton of the working man and woman
can be revised downward without do
ing serious damage to our production
machine and to the health and eff
cheney of workers so necessary to
keep that machine functioning at full
efficiency
mot a single tank, gun, bomb,
she'll or ship is being withheld from
our fighting forces because of these
laws. If such were the case, would
be among the first to advocate their
suspension.
In later speech before the Ma
tional Consumers League, Mr.. Walling |
charged that nazi propaganda is be-
hind the move to do away with the |
wage-hour law.

Dies and Byrd are key men in the
mobilization of support for a future
Democratic party victory at the polls.
The leader of the Democratic party
must therefore continue to work with
these southern congressman, even
though they are bitter opponents OF
administration labor policy.
Neither Roosevelt nor any spokes-
man for the administration wants the
issue of the 40-hour week and the
closed shop raised at this time. The
President is on record as believing
that the situation Is well in hand.
Production Manager Donald M. Mel
son said: There is no need for any
legislation at this time"
But Smith, Dies and their hackers
are not willing to let the matter rest
They have opposed concessions to Ia
Dor at every stage They are against
them now and are willing to split
the Democratic party and the country
wide open in their efforts to "put
the working classes where they be-
long"

SOME TYPEWRITERS
RELEASED FOR SALE

More than 100000 new typewriters,
mostly portable models, will be re-
leased for rationing on April 10 from
the now-frozen stocks of independent
distributors, wholesalers and dealers,
the office of price administration has
announced. The order permits the
rationing of some new typewriters as
well as used machines and adds new
portable typewriters to the machines
that may be rented. Unrestricted
rental of used typewriters is allowed,
but the ban on the rental of new non
portable typewriters remains in eff
feet.

SEVEN IMPORTANT
PRICE CEILINGS SET

In the broadcast action yet taken to
combat price initiation affecting lines
of goods made scarce by the war,
the OPA has set maximum retail
prices for seven major household ap-
planes. The OPA regulations bring
under federal price control new house
hold mechanical refrigerators new
household vacuum cleaners and at
tachments, new domestic heating and
cooking stoves and ranges, new do
nestle washing and ironing machines,
new radio receiving sets and new
monographs.
Production of all of these consum-
ers durable goods has been drastical-
ly curtailed or completely suspended
because of the demand Of war indus
tries for the metals used in their
manufacture. This growing scarcity
has resulted, officials say, in sharp
price increases at wholesale and retail
levels and in thousands of complaints
OF "profiteering" from the buying
public.

attorney, his unquestioned integrity
and his brilliance as a campaigner

one. Further, Shelley and other lead
ing Republicans have indicated that

ability as speaker is well-known
licans feel that If the people of Mon
tana are told what actually is happen
ing they will vote for new representa-
tion in Washington.
Opposing Congressman James F.
O'Connor in the second district will
be State Senator F. F. Haynes from
Forsyth. Haynes. an outstanding
campaigner, served his first term in
the senate last year, and his record
there is open for all to see. He failed
to vote on Senate Joint Memorial No.
which represented the blanket en-
dorsement of the Roosevelt policies
and failed to vote on House Bill 252,
the "Home Guard" bill His vote on
House Bill No. 131 which would have
saved certain insurance company
several thousands of dollars in taxes
was considered wrong, but his vote on
House Bill ITS, a progressive measure,
was sound. A brilliant speaker,
Haynes will make a good run in east
ern Montana.
This week saw Representative
O'Connor challenge the Dies commit
tee on the floor of the house. Dies,
who once more has started to SOW
the seeds of disunity and hatred,
called certain members of the Eco
nomic Advisory committee subversive.
Vice President Wallace Immediately
reprimanded the Texas blowhard for
his scurrilous remarks, and the vice
president was ably seconded by
O'Connor. Dies does good work for
Hitler and his allies and 1t is unbe-
lievable that he is allowed to spread
his subversive doctrine on the floor
of congress. The sooner his commit
tee is finished the better it will be.
His foolish attacks on progressives
has demonstrated his complete ignor-
ance, and his failure to expose any
Japanese or German fifth column
work is indicative of his narrow
minded viewpoint. Dies is doing the
country great deal of harm and 1t
is generally considered that he pro-
fascist himself.
Other reports from Washington in
dictate that Senator Murray voted to |
GUST Senator LANCER of North Dakota |
from the United States senate while |
Senator Wheeler voted to permit |
LANCER to retain his seat. Murray is
a Democrat and LANCER Republican,
which may explain Murray's vote.
LANCER has long been known as a
Republican and in North
Dakota he has consistently received
the support Of the common people.
His record as attorney general, gov
srnor and United States senator in
licate his belief in liberal principles,
and it is indeed strange that Senator
Murray should join in helping to I'M
'eat him. The charges against Lam
ger were completely aired in the sem
tie, and the result was a victory for
LANCER. Twenty-four Democrats and
Xix Republicans voted against LANCER
While So senators voted in his favor.
