Dorton said that his office had

concluded that essential employ

This is not so. he said. Two of

The Way To Poverty

Reports from the American Association of
Petroleum Biologists and the American Pc
lroleum Institute indicate that there still re-
mans unexplored approximately 1000 900 900
acres of geological formation in which oil
may be found in the United States. Not only
does this vast area remain UNEMPLOYED, but
To-Day oil is being produced from sands found
a' oep'h of 1879 feet, and present equipment

tinually increasing the power of gasoline, thus
tending to conserve supplies.
At present the belief seems prevalent in
some government regularly agencies that the
price of oil has nothing to do with oil pro-
duction. But protracted oil shortage will
be the fault of man, rather than the fault
of nature, if oil prices are held at levels
which prohibit exploration and development,
and disregard production COSTS AS long as
that fallacy is maintained, the oil shortage
will grow worse instead of better.

That War Will Be Lost

they agree to unconditional sur
render, Mr.. Roosevelt says they
will not be trading Axis despotism
for ruin under the United Nations,
but instead for relief and economic
assistance, such as the people of
Sicily are enjoying, and the oppor-
tunity to create free political
life of their own choosing and to
attain economic security.
The most senseless slaughter and
destruction of the whole war is
that which the Germans are now
bringing upon themselves by re-
fusing to recognize the disaster
that is SO plainly advancing to
their door There are no possible
gains in it for Germany.

percent of the high school person.
mel are expected to pledge the Corps.
The necessary insignias have been
ordered-preparatory to forming a
miniature army within. the ranks of
the schools student body.
In order to qualify for the sew
eral branches of the Corps the
schools had to organize, some time
ago, a scrap collecting. campaign
which brought good results. Ply
steal fitness classes have been under
way some two months. Special
classroom material, pertaining to
war problems, had to be organized
and arranged to correlate with regu-
liar classroom required subjects.
Certain courses in science and math-
enatics have helped some students
to qualify for membership.
Besides being a wartime Or
ganization within the ranks of the
school," stated Raymond v. Puette,
director of the program. "other OBJ
jectives of the corps include provis-
ions for military drill, to select
young people of high school age for

velop war time citizenship, to give
guidance on critical wartime occu-
pations."

Continued Cold Raises
Yakima Ice and Water

Richland-For the past week the
Yakima river has threatened the
highway in the vicinity of Fallon
and Twin Bridges. However, it has
neither raised nor lowered in the
past few days but another one-foot
raise would start ice and water
flowing over the highway. A stream
is flowing through the old Van
Horn lake bed and water and ice
are now standing on two sides of
the L. A. johnson house as well as
a greater part of the Ed Roberts
ranch and the Koeppen place. The
Love brothers were forced to move
their cows out of their barn a week
ago as the water raised above the
floor level.
Continued blasting of the ice jam
along the George DIETRICH ranch
and the Murray pasture has kept
the situation from becoming worse.
