If hunting bears is one. of your

Willey-that is if it would etake
you all the month to bag one bear
Wiley states that at the March

commission, an open season
throughout the entire state was de-
clared on black and brown bears
from May to May 81 The sea-
son on grizzlies remains closed for
the entire year-both fall and

the following excerpt from the law.
During the open season on bears,
the limit shall be one bear per
person per season, with the excep-
ton that it shall be unlawful to
kill cub bears or female bears with
cubs at their sides. It shall be un-
lawful to use dogs in the hunting
of bears with the exception that
livestock owners, employees of the
state fish and game commission and
of the United States fish and Wild
life service may use dogs in the

Evidently scrap metal Is not COM
ing off the farms of America fast
enough to satisfy the Government
More scrap metal is needed immedi-
ately for the manufacture of war
equipment. Therefore a campaign
is now under way to speed up this
important work.
The new plan is one in which the
Works Project Administration will
furnish trucks and men to collect
scrap metals and rubber at farms
where scrap has not already been
collected through the campaign
conducted by U. S. D. A. War
Boards. Scrap thus collected will
be taken to concentration points
where it can be moved through
dealer channels to mills and found
aries. Farmers can get pay for
their scrap either in Defense Stamps
or by check If they wish to donate
their scrap, proceeds will go to the
Federal treasury.
This latest campaign will be con-

Then notify the board that scrap is

Member Of Lumber and Sowmii Workers
Union Explains What Effect 48 Hour
Week Would Have On This Community

pers advocate abolishing the WPA
entirely as it's an unnecessary ex-
pense especially at this time when
money must be used for war ex-
penditurc. The Union is trying to
include as many men as possible
to eliminate WPA.
Some people have the impression
that the 40-hour week is selfishness
on the part Of the Union but with
the 48-hour week some 400 men at
our plant would get an increase of
about $50 per month, thereby gain
ing financially, but we're willing to
give that extra day per week to
some poor guy who's out of job.
Is that selfishness?
There was an item in the Spokes-
n1an-Review some time ago about
members of the Sawdust Makers
Union Of Omak, Wash. This is a
company union and is supported by
the business men of Omak and these
men went to the west coast to get
employment in some defense plants
which are almost all A. f. of L.
union plants. The men found that
their names had been sent to the
coast local unions on a blacklist as
they had worked against the AZ
of L. unions at Omak. The A. f. Of
L. union in Omak has been trying tc
get the same wages and working
conditions that we have here. I'm
glad to be able to say that during
our organization of the Union here
our local business men have never
interfered, allowing the worker!
and the j. Neils company to WORK
out their own problems around thu
conference table in the company!
