Cadet John A. Pechek Taking
Four-Months Course at
Mather Field.

Air Cadet John A. Pechek is taking
a course in navigation at Mather
Field, Calf, and is believed to be
the only Ely boy in this branch of
the service.
"Our class of navigators," he says,
"has been here about six weeks. The
best way to describe this place is to
call it country club, because that
is about what it amounts to. We have
facilities for every type of sport, from
bunk fatigue Gust lying around to
skeet shooting.
"At the start" he continued, ga
lieutenant confirmed our worst fears
as to the toughness of our schedule
for the four months course. 1t called
for 10 hours of instruction per day,
plus an hour of drill and other ath-
letics. I can already feel the 10 pounds
I've gained melting away, and the
intense heat here will undoubtedly
help this along.
II was told it was only mildly
warm here today, when all the
thermometers registered 1O4 degrees.
"Blackouts and alerts," he said,
"are the real thing here, and they
have revealed some very interesting,
humorous, and tragic Incidents"
His address is class 42-13, Co. I.

Yankee SOLDIERS ABROAD GET
INDEPENDENCE day GREETINGS

How a thoughtful as well as prac-
teal scheme of communicating indie
pendence Day fluctuations to Yankee
soldiers stationed at different points
in England, Ireland and Australia was
put in motion on behalf of Men and
Women of Dodge Motors, Detroit, U.
S. A." is told by Emerson j. Poag,
who in his capacity as Dodge adver-
Using chief was called upon to aid
the unique proceedings.
For the first time in their histories,
English papers were called upon to
feature Americas national holiday in
their columns.
As Mr.. Poag explains it: Though
big space was what our people de-
manded for their patriotic advertising
idea, the typically American notion
was squelched when the British papers
cabled back that their daily issues
were limited to four pages and that
the maximum advertising space they
were permitted to allot to one client
was AZ inches by two columns"
Anyway, it was in that topnotch
wartime advertising space that Am
erican soldiers abroad read the fol-
lowing:

TRUCK LOAD RULE EFFECTIVE.
Northwest Office of Defense Trans
portation spokesman have been adj
vised that the rule requiring trucks
to carry at least rs per cent cap
acity load on return trips become
effective July Is.
The rule was to have become effec-
tive July l, but postponement was
ordered to furnish additional time to
prepare regulations. Until the order
ment into effect, trucks returned
empty or only partially filled.
Purpose of the order is to conserve
tires and equipment.
NO POLITICS IN RATION BOARD.
Members and employees of local war
price and rationing boards cannot par
ticipate in the forthcoming political
campaigns regardless of their party
affiliations or interest, according to
OPA officials.
Instructions have been received
from Washington that political ac-
tivity will be the basis for discharge
of officials and employees, whether
full-time, part-time, paid or volun-
teer workers. The Office, the instruc-
tions said, must be run on a nom
partisan basis. Any kind of political
activity is construed in Washington as
being a violation of the Hatch act,
which prohibits persons working for
the federal government from taking
any active interest in politics.
CUTS TIMES TO GET BOOKS
RENEWED.
Northwest officials of the OPA have
Speeded up the process OF issuing new
ration books to persons who have lost
possession of their original book.
The ruling has been that new books
could not be issued for 60 days. Under
a new regulation, local war price and
rationing boards are authorized to
issue before the end of the two-month
period new books to persons in deserv-
ing cases where boards are convinced
that books are lost, stolen or de-
stroyed.
The only requirement is that the
boards make certain there is no pos
sibility of recovery of the lost book
by the applicant.
Similar easing up of the rules apply
to sugar for canning certificates. An
other new ruling permits rancherS,
sheepherders and other consumers
handicapped by transportation diff
culties to purchase sugar up to IL
pounds at one time.

BIG SCRAP PILE TO WAR.


Thousands of tons of valuable scrap
iron that has outlived its usefulness
for one purpose, are being dug up in
unuSal places throughout the north
west for the war effort.
In Lake City, Mimi, for instance,
the dump used by an old foundry is
turning out 100 tons of scrap iron.
Stone quarries of Kasota, Mankato,
Winona and Sacred Heart are giving
up an estimated 500 tons of iron in
obsolete equipment.
Mines in the Black Hills region of
South Dakota are contributing some
500 tons of iron in old equipment no
longer in use. DiSused street car rails
in Duluth, Fargo and Grand Forks
are being torn up-600 tons of an esti-
mated 1900 tons already having been
taken up in Duluth; 125 tons of an
estimated 780 in Fargo, and 100 of
500-ton total in Grand Forks al
ready having gone to the steel mills.
In Winona, IA tons of street car
rails are being torn up by the city,
while in Minneapolis, 450-ton bridge
is going to come down for war pur-
poses. A 1OO-ton bridge in Moorhead
also has been donated to the war
effort, along with smaller bridges in
a number of other communities.
NEED 100000 TYPEWRITERS.
Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the
WPB has asked Americas business
men to sell as many standard type
writer's as they can spare for the use
of the armed forces.
Typewriters, he explained, are an
essential part of the equipment of
every war machine. There's one on
every bomber. Every battleship carries
SO typewriters; every aircraft carrier,
SIS; every cruiser, 80, and every de-
stroyer, Z. The government needs
100000.
Typewriter manufacturers are now
making guns and other war instru-
ments. Therefore, Nelson said, used
typewriters in good condition must

CEILINGS ON TOY PRICES?

There are ceiling prices on the
gadgets that dad buys, so why not a
top of prices for the gadgetS that
amuSe junior?
The OPA has been going over this
question and is preparing to issue a
maximum price regulation on all toys
and games. Generally, toys are now
under the general maximum price
regulation, their ceilings set as of
March of this year, but the OPA feels
that pricing of new toys and those of
a seasonal nature can be facilitated
through issuance of a separate price
order.
Manufacture of toys is an impor-
tant American industry. Last year, the
public bought toys valued at $780,
100000. Toys this year will reflect
materials restrictions. Rubber, alum
mum, steel and other strategic mate
rails have been banned or greatly cur
tailed.
