The office of Price Administration
makes this pertinent suggestion that
is worthy of consideration by every
one. The American people should
realize that it will be the objective
Of their government to stabilize the
cost of living. They too can do their
part. There is no occasion for hoard
ing food. Supplies of most staple
foods are at record or near record
levels. Families who boarded in the
past were simply misguided. Now
they are both misguided and unpa-
triotic, TO" such buying upsets mar
kets and encourages inflationary
price advances. 1T should be a point
of pride with every good American
not to hoard or to waste food. Con-
sumers should buy more of COM
modities which are plentiful in sup
ply. They can assist farmers and
stimulate the output of larger sup
plies by directing their purchases to
commodities that are relatively
abundant. The abundant foods
which are just as nourishing as the
scarcer foods sell at lower price.

COLLEGES IN LIME

Even colleges are going on war
time schedule, arranging programs
to fall in with the plans of the
emergency drive. All over the coun-
try there are institutions that are
making arrangements to shorten the
graduation period and bring college
courses TO an end in three years and
less. This Set-up means that there
will be no summer vacation and
there will be graduations twice a
year. Criticism is raised concerning
this rushing the student through in
such "quick" time that he will suf-
fer through the loss of a more thoro
training. Will he wind up with less
knowledge and training than in the
old days of a four year course? Many
of our educators say this will not be
so, that the students will get every
bit as much training but there will
be less leisure in the college course.

for exams short vacations, if any, all

We may be going back to the
horse and buggy yet if this produc-
ton ban, gas and rubber shortage
keeps the autos off the road. They
inform us that there would be plenty
of horses and mules to serve the
public needs however. In fact, there
are 14,000, 900 of these draft animals
awaiting the peoples pleasure. But
the people are not pleased to re-
turn to the age of horses and car
riages. They are satisfied with
keeping the garage for the power
buggy and besides the garage is too
genteel looking for horse. In these
years the horse has been maintain
for fashionable riding and costing
a bit to own. It has almost been
that just the smarter set" could
afford to keep riding horses and the
poorer fellow stuck to his auto.
Would it cost us so much more to

the wheel base Of your horse as it
might be by the make and years

Did you ever stop to think what a
lot of trouble We put other people
to because it suits OUT convenience
to do so. There is the person who
leaves his buying until the last min
ute of the day or the last minute
Saturday night, and he and others
like him, by so doing, cause a whole
force of clerks to work long hours.
Then there is the man who can't
get his ad ready for the printer I'M
til the last minute of the day, and
everyone in the office has to work
overtime because of it. The editor
seldom complains though he knows
that his overtime caused by late ad
costs more twice over than he gets
for the ad. None of us are given to
thinking much about the other fell

1t is the belief of Wendell Willkie
that General Douglas Macarthur
should be brought home from the
Philippines and placed in charge of
the United States army and navy
and air force. If General Macarthur
could step into the shoes of the men
who now have charge Of these
things and do the same sort of job
that he is doing in the Philippines
such radical step might be good
move. While General Macarthur is
doing an Incompatible job in the
Philippines it might be quite an
other matter to handle defense
setup, that has too few TRAINED men,
too few airplanes, too few battle
ships, and which is spread out over
as wide a territory as is the pres
ent defense. 1T would be task for
a genius with plenty of material and
trained men. 1t is a bigger task as
it is, task that we should not I'M
derrate.

In several sections of this country
are to be found groups of people
vino have come to this country and
settled in certain neighbour Gods
Through the years they have built up
prosperous settlements. The secret
of their success has been the fact
that they have worked together and
have cooperated in each others in
terest. The settlement has been all
for one, and one for all. What fine
thing it would be if every town could
have the same spirit. If we could
trade with each other instead of
sending our money away to some
other city to build it up at the ex-
pense of our own, our town would,
like these settlements, become more
prosperous because of this friendly
cooperation. ~.

There is a need in this country for
more printers and linotype operat-

were attracted to the printing trade
and they are the men today who are
carrying on. Today few young men
enter the printing trade because it
does not pay big money from the
start For the first three months a
young man is not worth anything in
a printing office. If he is above av-

TURNING BACK TIME

All the varied comment on the
turning back Of the clocks of the ma
ton when We went into national
daylight saving has died down and
the trmult and shouting has become
simply changing of the guard as
far as our daily lives are concern
ed. This law of saving on daylight
will be in effect until six months
after the war ends and probably by
that time we will have arisen at six
and called it seven for long enough
to be upset in turning the time piece
back at the end of the war. One be-
comes accustomed to such an ar
arrangement after a time, in fact we
figure on becoming impressed with
using our feet more since we use our
tires less. We might be used to
saving here in order to buy there
and facing it with very good grace.
If they ask us to make those things
late that were formerly early, of ris-
ing when we used to sleep and
sleeping when we used to wake, We
will do our best to keep from be-
coming dizzy in the process. This
business of saving daylight is in eff
feet in England and Canada and for
the same purpose as in the U. S.,
saving electricity and especially dur
ing the summer. There has been
one-third of the population of this
country having daylight saving time
before the court order went through
and before the president authorized
the switch. AS we march at the
command of the government, as we
walk as result of a rubber short
age, as we buy with thought of ra-
tioning in mind, so we turn back the
clock and willingly.

and upsets our national system of
exchange, closes up insurance COM
panies makes women rush to buy
silk hose, lay in sugar and probably
soap. Fear will overcome reason and
make housewives buy and store sup
plies that they don't need but want
to be sure they won't he without. Let
us take this sugar shortage as an
example. Folks started out to ask
for sugar from their groceryman
when they didn't need it. Sped the
rumor from the attack on the Phil
ippines that there would be a sugar
shortage and off to the store the
shopper rushed to really lay in a
supply in quantities. There we were
in the clutches Of fear with the gov
eminent having to ration sugar to
keep us from boarding it. They tell
us that there is enough sugar in
this country to keep each of us sup
piled with pound a week, and
surely that is enough from the
standpoint of health and hips. Am
orleans lead the world in the number
of diabetes so we have evidently
consumed more of the produce than
is good for us. Every time 16-
inch gun is fired, a fifth of an acre
of sugar cane is consumed in the
form of ethyl alcohol, of which SUI
gar is the major source. Here is an
emergency need for sugar but by
using our heads in Kennewick and
not falling victim to fear we can
keep the 16-inch guns supplied as
well as our own tables.

hold prices in line. It is to be hoped
that the effort is in a meature Sue
cessful. Many inflated prices are
unnecessary and due to panic and
fear or greed. IF the war can hold
down at the outset it may be pos

the whole price structure. Undue
