The officers of the local Odd
Fellow and Rebekah lodges were
jointly installed Monday night by
Jack Crawford, regional supervisor,
and Frances Pangle, vice president
of the Rebekah Assembly, assisted
by Mr.. and Mrs. E. A. Silliman, Mr..
and Mrs. j. G. Pratt, Lave Larson,
Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Edwards, Mr..
and Mrs. Roy Larkin, Mrs. J. R.
Ayers, Mrs. Vic Heberlein, Mrs.
Gilbert Edwards, Mrs. Joe Glispey
and Ralph Stafford. The officers
installed for the Odd Fellows We're:
noble grand, George Stafford; vice
grand, Robert Grigg; secretary, E..
A. Silliman; treasurer, Orlan Fish
err. For the Rebekahs: Ola Shields
was installed as noble grand; Irene
Stafford, vice grand; zelma Silli-
man, secretary; Luceil Stradling,
financial secretary, and Pearl Bah
cock, treasurer. -
The outstanding thing about the
years work for the Rebekahs was
the fact that the noble grand, Mrs.
Dueyne McNall, lived in Spokane
all year yst had not missed meet
ing. Both. lodges are very active
and are taking in lots of candi-
dates. A special meeting of the
Rebekahs has been called for Mon

for initiating a class of six can
didates on January 18th. A short
program was followed by dancing
and refreshments were served to

6. Should all japanese in Hawaii

When the war broke out 1t puz-
zled us considerably just what
would happen to our japanese neigh
bors. The removal of all at the
time seemed cruel, but the author
tiles were right. History records
that, at the close of the Civil war,
Lincoln had in mind that deporta-
ton of the Negroes to Africa, but
his sad ending obliterated this idea
Today, the Negro problem is far
from settled and must needs be given
considerable thought.
We face a similar problem here
and while I favor the retention OF
the japanese who are helping to
fight our battles, and deplore the
mis-education of the young men
and women who were sent to japan
and propagandized there, the COM
plete answer is one that requires
more light than heat.
Can we help one another think
this problem through to the enc
that another war will not be i'm
posed on the future generation?

Also, OPA further changed the

New schedule calls for six months

The reason for the, change, ex-

that passenger car tires are getting
so much better care than formerly
plus decrease in gas consumption
that less frequent inspections are
necessary.
jacobson warned, however, that

Dear Mr.. Reed:
I've been receiving the paper for
quite some time and I guess that
it's about time I was writing and
thanking you for it. I sure appreci-
ate it and read it from cover to
cover. It sure is nice to read about
what's going on back home.
This is quite a place we have
down here. 1t is only thirty miles
from the Mexican border and in
the thirteen months if it's existence
it has grown to be the next larg-
est aerial gunners school in the
United States. Here, we train men
to be experts at using the machine
guns that all of our aircraft are
equipped with. From the way things
are going across the pond, it looks
as if We weren't doing such a bad
job of it either. I am classified as
a gunner myself, and I would sure
like to go out to combat duty,
but it looks as if the CO. doesn't
want ito let me go. ~
I reckon had best sign off for
this time. Thanks agian for the
paper and a Happy New Year to
everyone. --..a1-s-> 49,. :~.--..- ... --...-. --.

There was one item of the fam
lily budget that actually declined
in price during the war year OF
1942-and you didn't have to stand
in line or use a ration card to buy
it!
This item was the electric serv-
ice used in homes served by Pacific
Power & Light company, accord
ing to a year-end review of COM
pany operations released here by
District Manager Roy Skill.
. Average cost of electricity used
in homes on the Pacific system
dropped during 1912 to a new low
of 2.07 cent per kilowatthour, Skill
said. And instead of being "a
toned, residential customers actu-
ally used an average of 81 per
cent more than in 1941.
Much of the story of what has
happened since Pearl Harbor in
the Columbia valley area served
by the company can be CLEANED
from the review. For instance,
number of residential and rural
customers served by the company
increased nearly 3 per cent, re-

I have new address now. I was
moved up here, in the cold heart
of Massachusetts,, last week. The
change was from one extreme tc
the other. I left Fort Belvoir in
the morning, after skating a couple
miles thru the mud of Virginia
and arrived here late last night and
sloped around in the slush getting
located, Rain fell thruout the trip
but during the night a strong vino
came up and blew the rain away
and changed the large two inch
deep lake into a sheet of ice. Now
that snow has fallen you can i'm
agine how slick it is. -
You have heard how bad trans
portation is and how much it is
needed by Uncle Sam. I don't know
how it is out there but its very
bad here in the East. When the
troups that I was with pulled into
Washington, DC, had eaten and We
went back to get onto the train
We found that our train section
had been taken over by civilians
so we took over the diners. Out
on the platform were few civil

loved ones. Also there was another
