steady flow of troops and supplies.
Ten days ago the foe brought up
considerable reinforcements from

It is all very confusing to people

not uniform and the legal age OF
boys and girls are not the same.
Medical certificates also must be
submitted to the clerk before the

have such a certificate showing that

OPA Tells Ceiling
Price on Turkeys

Holiday turkey prices, a headache
In normal times and two headaches
since the advent of price ceilings
and whatnot, we're Strengthened out
Friday by Assistant Farm Advisor
Lee Janderman after conferring
with the OPA.
Information was provided by
Dana c. johnson, district price at
torney, and covers the entire range
of prices. wholesale and retail The
price structure is based on base
prices for: I Light weight. 2 -
Dressed, (merely bled and feathers
removed. 3-Drawn, ready for the
oven
Landerman pointed out that the
prices begin with the base price
on live weights for young birds
under l3 pounds. either hens or
toms. These live weight base prices
for grade A young birds are those
TO be charged by producers at the
ranch to all buyers except con-
sumers in the San Diego district.
This rule was made because San
Diego is one of the basing areas.
Prices in effect in Imperial county
are one half cent per pound be-
low the quoted base at San Diego.
FOR IMPERIAL
Base prices for Imperial county
are: 35 cents less half a cent or 34i2
cents for young hens or toms under
18 pounds; 33l2 cents less half a
cent or 3S cents for young hens or
toms l8 to % pounds: 32l4 cents
less half a cent or 80 cents for
young hens or toms % pounds or
over. These are the price ceilings
to be charged by the producer TO all
buyers other than consumers in
Imperial Valley
Producers selling direct to con-
sumers are subject to ceiling struc-
ture based as follows: ceiling base
plus IL cents a pound plus 20 per
cent mark up on Is pounds or
order and II per cent mark up on
birds over l8 pounds. This would
be: 34l9 cents pound plus IL
cents equals SO cents plus 20 per
cent C7.2 cents or 432 cents
pound for turkeys under Is pounds;
33 cents a pound plus li2 cents
equals 345 cents plus II per cent
(5.79 cents or 400 cents a pound
for turkeys Is TO % pounds in
weight; SO cents a pound plus IL
cents equals 33 5 plus II per cent
t576, or 392 cents a pound for
turkeys weighing over % pounds.
DRESSED TURKEYS
The base price for dressed young
turkeys is 43 cents for those under
l6 pounds, Il cents for those weigh
ing l6 10 20 pounds, and 395 cents
Tor those 20 pounds and over. The
producers sale TO the consumer
equals the base just quoted plus
cent pound plus l7fper cent
mark up.
Base prices for drawn young tur-
keys are Sis cents for those under
l3 pounds, 48 cents for those Is to
16 pounds, and 46 cents for l612
pounds and over The producers
sale to the consumer equals the
base just quoted plus one cent
pound plus II per cent mark up.
Prices for OLD turkeys (those more
than year old range almost
exactly 2 cents a pound less on
each corresponding class listed
herewith, Landerman said.
General price rules for buyers
such as retailers and handlers are:
Retailer buys and sells live
weight and the retail price equals
live cost plus 81 per cent. Pre-
taller buys live weight and sells

legal. They ISSUE marriage licenses
and marriage licenses are impor-
tant documents. In the da2e the
couples are in when they apply for
marriage licenses, the clerk and
deputies moan, they don't give a
hang whether their applications for
the license are legal or not. They
Just want to get married.
California state law, however, is
particular. Applications for mar
riage licenses must be made out
just right or it is illegal for the
clerk or deputies to issue a license.
The couples seem never to worry a
bit about all that legal folderol
They'll worry later but at the
moment such trivialities mean
nothing at all to them.
LAST MOMENT
"Why do they wait until the last
minute TO get their marriage
licenSes?" is the universal cry at
the clerks office. IF they would
only give us time it would all be
So SHlllIlC.
For some reason many couples
plan their weddings down to the
cake and hour for the ceremony.
Then half an hour before the
happy event rush to the court
house to get the license. If the
prospective bride and bridegroom
both are of legal age, it was point
ed out, the difficulties are not so
many and not SO vital.
In California the legal age for a
girl is 18 years and the legal age
for the boy is 81 years. If boy or
girl wishes to get marriage
license when under age, California
law provides that the consent of
the father, mother, or legal guard
ian of the minor must be submitted

leave although I love Nassau.
ONLY MAR
The recommendation for depor-
tation was the only thing which
marred the acQuittal of the debonair
count. whom the Crown had pic
tured as a fortune hunter who at
tempted to obtain part of the gold
millions of the American-born bar
onet.
The jur- of II prominent business
men and civic leaders, who heard
"a days of testimony in the old
supreme court building, deliberated
only one hour and so minutes be-
fore it reached a vote OF 8 to 3
which, under British law, was one
more vote than necessary for ac-
quittal.
Shortly after o'clock last night,
the Jury filed into the courtroom
and waited for Justice Sir Oscar
Bedford Daily to assemble court.
De Marigny was in the barred pris-
oner's dock. Nancy sat nervously in
the rear of the room.
ASKS GROCER
After the order for quiet was
given. the court clerk asked the
jury foreman, James Sands, a Mas
sau grocer:
My. Foreman, have you reached
a verdict?"
Yes" Sands replied. Not guilty
Sands attempted to keep speak
ing, but his announcement of the
verdict brought such roars from the
crowd of not more than 100 spec
tators that his words were drowned
out.
The noise spread to outside the
tiny courtroom and the place was
a bedlam. Police stationed through
out the room finally quieted the
crowd down enough for Sands to
announce that the vote was to 3
for acquittal, but that the jury in
a unanimous vote recommended de-
portation OF the playooy count.
Justice Daly said that no doubt,
the proper authorities will take
cognizance of your request regard
ing the deportation.

Enters Dispute

it is the duty for every employe to
get into the scrap and protect the
freedom the boys overseas are fight
ing for"
The circular was signed by the
Organizing Committee, Central
Labor Council"
MAKES STATEMENT
In a statement Friday morning
the organizing committee Lad this
to say:
Last nights Thursday edition
of the Imperial Valley Press carried
a story concerning a pending strike
between the members of the electri-
cal workers union and the Imperial
Irrigation district.
There are certain phases OF this
story that the union definitely
takes issues with, and so the public
will be fully informed the electrical
workers are making the following
statement:
Il. Mr.. Hewes, president of the
beard, states that he is not bound
TO meet with his employees by law,
in other words public policy will be
discarded in Imperial county and
we will again revert to 1886 and
1897 and the company will do Moth
ing that the employees cannot force
them TO do by economic pressure.
It is true labor has taken a no
strike pledge, but this pledge was
taken for the benefit of the boys
overseas who are fighting for our
freedom and as it has been stated
before by the members of this un-
ion, why should they go to foreign
soil to fight for freedom when it is
not available in Imperial county,
BEGIN ORGANIZING
Since the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict has challenged the employees
right to collective bargaining the
Imperial Valley Central Labor
Council has joined the electrical
workers union and has commenced
organization of all the employees of
the Imperial Irrigation district, ex-
cluding, of course, supervisory and
clerical workers. The first attempts
of the Central Labor Council Or
ganizerS have met with huge sue
cess. Some of the old timers state
that they are glad that this organ
ization has started at this time as
they can remember the day when
organization was attempted and
they were told that if they joined
the union they would be fired.
The editor of the Imperial VAL
ley Press intimates that the union
is following in the steps of John
l.. Lewis. May we state here and
now that if John l.. Lewis tactics
are necessary in Imperial Valley
that is exactly what tactics will be
employed. The local A. F.. of L.
unions have abided by their no.
strike pledge and have gone out
of their way to keep peaceful labor
relations in Imperial Valley, but
if an organization such as the I'M
perial Irrigation district takes the
position that they will do nothing
we cannot force them to do by
peaceful means, we have no other
alternative but to resort to such
economic action as may be at our
command to protect the rights of
our members.
Every attempt will be made to
contact the representatives. of the
Imperial Irrigation district as per
the requirements of all existing la
Dor laws in an attempt to bargain
collectively for the employees of the
district, failing in this we can as
sure you that the Central Labor
Council will do everything in its
power to reach a written agree
ment with the Imperial Irrigation
