Postwar Road Building
Program Now Being
Planned By Congress
Stute Would Get
$18,50O.000 Per Yeor
For Three Years

There is now pending before the Con-
gress of the United States a Bill to pro-
vide for a pbst war Highway Building
program by which a billion dollars a year
for three years would be allocated for
highway construction throughout the
United States following the end of the
war.
The purpose of this Bill is two-fold:
first, to repair existing highways and
to build additional ones. Second, to
provide for employment after the war.
All of US realize that the returning
established fact that highway construct
ion is one of the best means of giving
soldiers must he put to wor. It is an
employment because approximately
ninety cents of every highway dollar
ultimately goes into labor.
Under the provisions Of the pending
legislation Mississippi would get approx
mately $lS, 500, 0O0.00 per year for three
years. which matched by the State on a
75-25&o basis would give the State APP
proximately S25, O00. 10000 per year an
nually over a three year period for road
building purposes.
The Highway Department has already
made some surveys and completed plans
for post war highway construction. As
personnel and time permits He will con-
tirue that work and will be ready for
any highway program to be launched
after the war, We are cooperating
closely with the Public Roads Admin
istration which has authorized the use
of Federal money for the maing OF sur

veys and the preparation of plans.
Although considerable Federal money
could be obtained for surveys and plans,
we contemplate using a very limited
amount. The balance will be saved for
actual construction. We propose to 20
to Washington along with other State
Highway officials to be ready to give
to the Congress such factual data "a
may be desired.
The Department proposes to repair
existing highways damaged by military
traffic and to improve existing facilities
around municipalities; to provide for the
completion of the secondary system and
to build farm-to-market or feeder roads

GIorifying

In my mail have come a half
dozen letters lately from women
who have baby-fine hair, asking
what in the world can I do to
keep my hair in curl these hot
days."
Well, here's revolutionary solu-
ton which one of New York's
famous women hairdressers has
devised-set your hair with beer,
Yes. beer.

famous heads as those of Alice
Marble. Paulette Goddard and

except that the beverage is used
instead of lotion or water. The
malt in the beer is the miracle
working secret of giving body and
softness to thin and dry hair,
having been used for generations
as the base for many hair tonics."
You do smell bit berry while
the set is being given, admits Alice,

and shortage of vital metals, including
copper. These shortages have become
so acute that the War Department has
ordered the release of 4500 men from the
army to work in metal mines. And at
the same time the labor board is driving
100 men out of the Chino company's cop
per mines because they are delinquent
In their union dues.
What about these $500 soldiers who are
to be released from the Army to work
in copper and other mines? VIII they be
compelled to join a union before they
can go to work and will they be forced
to pay union dues to hold their jobs?
Does the War Labor board think it more
important to compel American workers
to pay tribute to labor unions than it is
to win the war?
Chino company officials are said to
be in quandary as a result of the labor
board order. Naturally. One set of
Washington bureaucrats keep hammering
them to produce more copper. while an
other set orders them to tie a can to en-
ployes who refuse to pay labor racketeers
for the privilege of working for their
country. According to press dispatches
General Manager Horace Moses of the
Chino company says compliance with the
labor board order will cut the company
production II per cent.

GOOD NEWS FOR
CITY OF Ell CENTRO

The civilian population of Ell Centro
should be thankful for the way the public
works department has met a problem of
grave importance and has constructively
sought and found an answer
We refer to subject of utmost i'm
portance, especially in dry desert coun-
try-an adequate supply of water.
Not SO long ago a serious and danger
Gus situation arose when the water sup
ply of the entire city became depleted to
such an extent that if fire had broken
out the fire department would not have
been able to combat it with any hope of
success.
The city and the Imperial Irrigation
district, the two agencies involved in OBJ
tanning and maintaining adequate water,
Immediately got together to assure that
situation would not again arise
Now the city has announced that a new
seven-million gallon storage basin will
be completed by August Is and that still
another one of 12-million gallon capacity
will be excavated soon after that. The
smaller of the two basins would be able to
tide the city over most emergencies. When
the newer one is completed there will be
enough water on hand so that the flow
of water into the system from the feeder
canal could be stopped completely for
considerable m without endangerlng
the health or safety of our population.

This is an example of swift action when
it was needed and should be an inspira-
tion to all other departments of the mum

HUMANIzING OPA?
WotsonUiIIe Register Pajaroniun

W WSuHCHtC helISIeF FuJuToHIuH
Virtually every day sees indications
that the OPA is striving to "humaniZe"
its regulations and make them more un-
derstandable, acceptable and plausible to
the public.
This week a delegation of ration board
members met in San Francisco with
Frank Marsh, the new assistant to Ches-
ter Bowles, general manager of the OPA,
and were invited to present straight-from
-the-shoulder suggestions and criticisms
of OPA operations. Judging from press
reports, they gave the new area chief an
earful,

Mr.. Gowles' statement and his attitude
twoard his new assignment gave rise to

ate realistic policy of rationing and
price control, in place of the often-con-
fused and impracticable regulations
which have governed in the past
His work is cut out for him. Many
changes are needed in our food industry
from producer to retailer is to carry on
adequately the job of supplying the home
front. For instance, ceiling prices have
been established at retail and wholesale
levels without due regard for raw mater
ial and wage costs back of them which
had no ceilings. Then, too, margins pre-
scribed by OPA are lower in many cases
than ever existed, and are not sufficient
to enable retailers to pay all necessary
costs and to continue in business These
factors, together with the harassment of
unnecessary and burdensome reports,
records and accounting have caused many
retailers to go out of business.
This has caused impairment of the food
distribution system. 1t has also encour-
aged the operations of the black market,
which in turn, further obstructs the nor
NAL flow of food in the proper channels
creating greater scarcity of supplies.
We realize that Mr. Bowles does not
have an easy task before him, but if he
can weed out some of the bumper crop
Of bewildering drectives, orders and
regulations he will do the country real
service.

the Women
By RUTH MILLETT

Don't worry MON" because the
girl down the street hears from
your Johnny twice as often as you
do.
That doesn't mean that Johnny
doesn't care about his home or his
parents. Not at all That is Just
the way of young men.
Or so says an Army censor at
one foreign base who has noticed
that the average soldier writes
three letters week. One of those
letters goes to Nom, and the other
two 60 to the girl friend.
So don't be jealous of little Susie
down the street Johnny has to
write her more often than he does
you After all, he's courting her
And he knows he may have COM
petition at home, SO he had better
keep his letters frequent and reg
ular if he is to keep some boy still
at home from crowding him out.
But you, Nom, will always be
there. Johnny knows he will be
tops with you whether he writes
once week or once a month.
LESSON FOR THE FUTURE
Remember that if you ever start
to feel hurt because Susie gets
more and longer letters than you
do. 1t isn't just your Johnny who
spends more letter-Writing time on
his girl friend than on his parents.
Johnny is just acting like an aver
age young man-not like an unfeel-
ing son.
And once you have learned to ac-
cept that with good grace you'll find
the lesson will come in handy from
then on. For when Johnny comes
home and marries the girl who is
getting the bulk of his mail now,
you'll have to be satisfied with only
a fraction of his time and interest.
And that. too. won't be cause
Johnny has grown away from you
or lost interest in his family.

of certain weather quirks that make other
sections of the country unfavorable.
This is added vendication for those plan
ners who strived so hard to induce the
military forces of this nation to take ad
vantage of our habitat for training men.
Into the vast area which comprises the
valley have been poured untold thous
ands of men within the last two years.
Here they have been welcomed whole
heartedly. And we know of at least one
military man who has sworn to return
to the valley and make it his home after
the war.
While other sections of the country may
have taken advantage of the serviceman
we can say with pride that there has
been very little of that sort of thing here.
We want the men to like the valley and
we hope that many of them will decide to
return after this bloody thing is finished.
While it is impossible to say how much
credit must be given to those early boost
ers Of our section as military theater
it is undeniable that their efforts brought
the valley to the attention of military
men.
