Now comes Mrs Moffett, vice chair
man of the advisory committee on
Ultimate Consumer Goods of the
American Standards association with
the statement to halt imitation She
says that "we could increase our pur-
chasing power by Is per cent or more
if the buying methods of individuals
were as well developed as our methods
of production and distribution" She
advises securing accurate and COM
plete information regarding the goods
we buy, at present very important and
becoming more important as the war
progresses. If all the important facts
are not given in advertising or on
labels, ask questions of the salesperson
and if not answered satisfactorily,
consult the buyer, department head or
even the proprietor, she says. Legi-
innate advertising in legitimate news
papers is advised to inform the buyer
of quality and to keep goods up to
standard
Remember Pearl Harbor
It will not be necessary for the
governor of the state to proclaim
daylight saving time and put Mime
sofa along with the rest of the nation
on February 9. According to the act
of Congress it is not daylight saving
time at all but just united States
central standard time" The state law
says that every city and community
must observe standard time unless
change is directed by Congress. How
ever, Governor Stassen is studying the
situation and will decide if any ON
cial action is necessary.

The committee report on who is to
blame for the Pearl Harbor attack
early in December by the oily and
constituencies Jap as given to the
public in Sundays dailies will have
the effect of causing some of the
"brass hats" in charge of the army
and navy in the field and at Washing
ton to sit up and take notice. One fact
has been established. Some one is to
blame for the Pearl Harbor situation
and the blame has been laid to the
commanding officers who may have
been working under orders from their
superiors. The dead are just as deao
no matter who is to blame. While the
enissaries of the Jap nation were
talking peace at Washington the wal
machine was geared up and crossed ths
pacific to strike even before the EN-.
isarries had finished their whitewash-
ing. President Roosevelt as com,
mander of the forces of the nation die
not nince words when he called TO
an about war against Japan, German!
and Italy. Let every American stand
with the government. Remembe'
