Conchy Leciured
GLOWING Arrest

PORTLAND - The government
is more liberal toward CONSCIENTIOUS
DIRECTORS in this war than ever be-
fore but that gives them no right
to question the merits OF the jobs
to which they are assigned. Fed
eral Judge Leon r. Yankwich told
Kenneth Fsrson, "a. of Glendale,
Cal.
This is not desertion but il is
tantamount TO it," said Judge
Yankwich after hearing the for
mer Los Angeles Bible students
story. Farson told the court
through his attorney that he had
left the conscientious directors
camp at Cascade Locks after eight
days of woodchopping because he
thought he could do more good"
at the Boeing aircraft plant at Sc
attic, where he had been working
seven months when ne was ar
rested.
He pleaded guilty to violation Of
the selective service law and his
case was assigned to the probation
department for investigation.

He states that all our energies
should be given first to military
preparation and home defense
that 1t is our first duty to aid
our country and our allies to OBJ
tain a victory as soon as possible
While the war should come first
in everybody's mind, nevertheless
the statewide process of govern

will be labor and social legislation
to come up at the 2sth session of
the legislature.

More Refugees Leave
Swedish Exchange Ship

JERSEY CITY, n. J.-Refugees
from the Far East began leaving
the Swedish exchange liner Grips
holm again Wednesday after
undergoing questioning of military
intelligence, FIJI and state depart
ment officers designed 10 prevent
infiltrstion OF spies disguised as
refugees.
The Gripsholm arrived Tuesday
with l451 passengers, of whom
slightly more than 500 had been
released up to midnight. The first
off the ship Wednesday WAS a mis-
sionary, Raymond T. Meyer, of
oberlin. o. He was trapped in
Hong Kong at the outbreak of the
war with Japan after Is years in
the Orient as an agricultural
worker for oberlin-in-Chins, a
mission sponsored by Oberlin

Meyer said ne had lost about IS
pounds in Stanley prison, where

tioslly hslf-starved."

people Of Pierce county that by
utilizing my experience in the ac-
counting and construction field, l
would give them a businesslike sd-
ministration and that by the in
stsllation of business methods in
the office l would increase the eff
ficiency of the office and improve
the service to the public.
Those familiar with the office
will realize that it has been trans
formed into a modern business
office by addition Of up-to-dste
equipment and business methods.
Compares Costs
ITO my mind, the best proof of
the efficient operation Of my office
ia comparison of the cost of
operation and revenues. During
the period 1920 to 1888 inclusive,
the operation of the office cost the
taxpayers s104, 1886 over and
above the revenues collected, while
during the seven completed years
of my administration the office
has been self-sustaining, without
any cost to the taxpayers and has
made a net return to the county
OF S117,2375o over and above all
operating expenses.
THE duties of county commits
sioner are mainly to supervise the
financial operation OF the county
and TO provide funds therefor, also.
to handle the construction and
maintenance Of all county roads.
Understands Job
MY experience as county audi
tor and ex-officio clerk TO the
board of county commissioner has
enabled me to acquire a complete
knowledge Of the duties of county
commissioner. This itself should
be of vital importance in the suc-
cessful administration Of that
office.
In addition TO my ability to
help supervise the financial con-
dition of the county and keep it
on a sound basis, I have had sew
eral years of experience in road
and building construction. and am
Of the opinion that this makes me
eligible for the office Of COM
missioner.
In submitting my candidacy
for commissioner third district, /
believe that I offer you quslifics-
tons and experience second to
none, and on such basis I respect
fully solicit your vote and support
in the primary election to be held

a corset demonstration at the
Sears, Roebuck and Co. store on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Aug. ~ to 20.
Uncle Sam has asked the
women Of America to make this
sacrifice 80 that our army and
navy will not be handicapped by
the lack OF rubber in their essential
military equipment" Miss Morgan
explained.
Demand Increases
However. the fact that less
elastic viii be employed in the
manufacture of corsets will not
cause the modern woman TO do
without them for now, more than
ever before. the use OF a founda-
ton garment il very important.
Throughout the country, many
women. who formerly had few in
terests outside OF homemaking,
are now actively engaged in siren
uous civilian defense and Red Cross
work. Others are employed in
full time jobs in defense industries.
taking the places of men called
into military and naval service.
This transition in activities de-
mands that their health be kept
equal to the task through proper
diet and that they guard against
body fatigue by wearing a founda-
ton garment which at once is well
fitting and sction-free. Continu-
Gus activity during working hours
demands that the modern woman
wear a garment which permits her
to move freely while performing
her duties" Miss Morgan stated.
Solves Problem
The Nu-Back foundation has an
overlapping section at the back
which, in spite of the absence of
elastic at this point, still permits
the utmost freedom of movement.
This patented sliding back slides
with the upper part Of the body as
the figure bends. while the lower
part of the garment remains snug
ly in place around the hips, thus
eliminating the usual riding up
tendencies, she added.
During her stay at Sears. Miss
Morgan will demonstrate the in
teresting features of Nu- Back
foundations, with the aid of a
model. She also will be available
for interviews concerning individ-
ual figure problems.

Areas Stressed
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON - Katharine ,.

and child-esre program Is badly
needed in 400 critical defense reas.
Miss Jenroot's statement to

by President Roosevelt that
congress extend the activities

president estimated $500, 600
would he required for the ex-
banded program during the
first year.
Miss Lenroot said the social Sc
curity act must be amended before
an appropriation above si1,ooo,o 900
annually can be voted upon. The
bureau now has no way 10 finance
increasing expenditures under the
present law.
II the bill now before con-
gress Is passed, she said, the

problem ~ the increasing
number of illegitimate chill
dren.
Miss Lenroot pointed to the pro-
gram Of maternity care for wives
of enlisted men being carried on
in Lewis county. Wash, as a basis
for the national program. In the
last year 40 mothers have been
cared for in Fort Lewis, and 900
mothers IN the county have been
cared for in IL months at the cost
of $4,000. The state and federal
governments share expense. II the
program continues to expand as it
is at present, it will need $500
for the current fiscal year, she
said.
