ON THE FRONT
IN THE VALLEY
DINNER GUESTS

DINNER OOESlo
For those citizens who would like
to have servicemen for dinner
guests Christmas, canteen officers
suggest that the hosts come down
to the canteen to invite their guests
personally.
Since hundreds of men are ex-
pected in the city Christmas Day
from the Yuma area, the canteen
hostesses will have no time to make
arrangements for dinner guests.
They do extend q cordial invita-
ton to everyone to drop in to in
vite guests, however as there is
nothing the men like better than
to be in a real home once more.
CANTEEN CHRISTMAS
Christmas is to be crowded day
at the canteen with SO many men
due to arrive, with large numbers
expected for the entire weekend.
Hostesses will be fewer in num-
Der as Christmas is a busy time
for the homemaker with all the
family festivities to prepare. To
those generous women who are Civ
ing up their Christmas celebration
for the servicemen, a vote of thanks
is certainly due.
Another vote of thanks is due
those busy homemakers who have
taken time out from their own
preparations to see that the cam
teen has supplies of cookies. Every
bit of food is welcomed. and any
one who wishes to send down a
plate Of turkey for sandwiches is
assured that the canteen can use
that also.
TO THE TEACHERS
To the teachers in the city
schools a gold star or some other
mark of merit should be awarded.
These men and women during their
Christmas vacation are signing up
for work at the ground observation
post and at the Red Cross surgical
dressings center, putting to shame
many who have not had the eX-
cuse of working all day to keep
them from helping out in these
war activities.
CLOSE CENTER
The surgical dressings center was
closed Thursday and Friday Tor
the holidays, and will be closed on
New Years Day.
Wednesday, a total of Is women
for the entire day. made dressings,
and the center is way behind in
it's quota. Ell Centres record Is
much lower than that of cities even
smaller and it is hoped that after
the holidays, women will help with
this vital project, which after all,
may mean life or death to service
men.

KUHN LIKES SERVICE

Dear Ray: of the boys
have written you and told you how
they liked the army Well l like it
too. I'm stationed here at Chico
Army Flying School, and it's really
swell place. 1t is 16 miles from
Chico, but the army trucks are
really a swell form Of transporta-
ton, and are air cooled. 1t is right
at the foot Of the mountains-cool
at night and hot in the day time;
very little rain, and lots Of sun. We
have two mess halls and lots to eat.
That old stuff about eating beans
every meal is lot of bunk, for our
diet is really balanced right. Milk
is about as free as water here-all
you can drink and you can take
some back to the barracks, if you
like
My job in the army air force is
to keep the rest of the boys and men
in line-you guessed tim sta
toned with the military police, but
don't know how | made it. I'm
not as big as some of the men here
but | talk them out of doing things
wrong, when they are tight, but
very few get that far. We have a
swell group of men. All are work
ing to get slap at a Jap. and
don't doubt, we will before long.
Well here is my line or two, so
I'll sign off for now Another Yank

MILK BUSINESS ON INCREASE

Morgan county dairymen deriv-
ed increased cash farm income from
milk during the first six months of
1912, according to the regular semi
annual report on milk receipts of
Moores & Ross, GAINESVILLE and Co
lumbus branches of the Borden com
pany.
During the first six months of the
year the company bought 1913, ,090
lbs of milk for $23 6S3.55 in this
area. This was an increase of 12%
over disbursements of $21, 1872. 9 0
in the corresponding period OF 1941,
despite the fact that the company S
volume of purchases decreased SOC
from 1,269,568 lbs, as a result of
readjustment of routes.
Current milk production is run
ming ahead of last year according
to a survey of $50 farms which was
made by the Columbus company on
August 13. On that date the aver
age daily production per farm was
EOS lbs, as compared with 1914
lbs, on the same date last year.
When we take into consideration
that there are several other milk
routes in this county, we get some
idea of what a big industry the
milk business is in this county.

OIL AND RUBBER

TIC argue that the oil industry is
trying to prevent the manufacture
of synthetic rubber from any process
whatsoever, whether it involves the
use of petroleum or not, amounts
to arguing that this industry is
hell-bent on its own destruction.
The situation is simple enough.
The very life Of the oil industry de-
pends upon the maintenance of mo-
tor car transportation. The indus
try has big war orders, of course
but civilian consumption of gaso-
line and lubricants are still the
foundation of its business. And
when the war is over, the motor car
will represent its principal market.
1t is clear to oil men, as we'll as the
rest of US, that the industry can't
continue to sell to motorists unless
they can obtain tires.
Even if every ounce of synthetic
rubber were manufactured from
petroleum products the money val
ue to the oil industry would be
microscopic in the light of its total
business. And, in many instances,
the industry is operating govern
ment-owned synthetic rubber plants
without profit From the purely
commercial point of view, rubber
simply represents a means to an
end so far as the oil industry is con-
cerned-and the end is the sale of
gas and lubricants. 1t is in the oil
business-not the tire business.
There are many synthetic rubber
formulas, and some involve he use
of petroleum, and some 40 not
Only the chemists and the engineers
can decide which is best, quickest
and most practical The position of
the oil industry is one of complete
cooperation with any program which
promises to solve the critical rub
ber problem. 1t is devoting all its
resources and facilities toward that
goal News Review

some favorable correspondence
about a location and seating, but
circumstances have been such that
