LETT S KEEP THE
SKELETON

Main street in FL Centro, Second street
in Calexico, and Main street in Brawley
all serve to make US wonder in what con-
dition business will be when the boys
come marching home.
All these thoroughfares are as the
thoroughfares Of America. They are
the Main street of America, the meeting
point of Americas business world, the
employment centers of Americas work
ers, the market place Of Americas farm
ers, the true index OF. the state of health
of Americas business body.
Looking at the lines Of stores on each
side of these streets is like examining the
teeth of the people =. and we find many
teeth missing Store front after store
front is vacant and dark. They stand
as monuments to small enterprises which
one by one. have been knocked out of COM
mission by the tragedy Of war.
Maybe we can struggle on without
these biscupeds and jncisors for while,
but sooner or later as any dentist knows,
the gaps should be filled in lest the
neighbors start leaning out of alignment.
These gaps in our economy should be
filled in. even during war. Someday.
ten million soldiers, sailors, marines and
coast guardsmen and another ten mil
lion defense workers will come marching
home But there won't be homes enough
for all, that is, not enough business
homes.
While Government is fighting this war,
feeding the people, planning our future
proposing freedoms and state aids, that
government should be farsighted enough
to plan on leaving at least skeleton frame
works of all business concerns, so that
there will be structure at least which

NO EGG MARKET

(Grass Valley Union)
For state and community supposed
ly facing imminent food shortages, a
curious situation has developed in Grass
Nalley-tkere appears to be virtually
no market for home produced eggs. 1t
is reported that farmers are bringing
in eggs in relatively small lots only to
be obliged to take them back or dump
the lot by the roadside.
Local growers have no poultry coop
erative, and no exclusive buying market
has existed in Grass Valley for several
years Such selling or bartering as has
been carried on involved the local food
stores Such establishments are now
apparently unable to handle the local
product.
1t was learned that a similar situation
exists in other localities and is believed
to be widespread.
At this time, eggs are ceilenged at
around 40 cents per dozen. However,
Nevada county growers would be glad
to move their eggs in small lots at con-
siderably under the ceiling price.
This, of course, is the season of album
dant eggs, the season of glutted markets
in normal times. However, that such
glut should occur under present condi-
tions is causing no little surprise.

KEEP THEM GARDENING

(Palo Alto Times)
The hint comes from washington that
the food monarchs are considering snip
ing a few coupons from Ration Book 2
against planned-for home canning. Un-
der this plan, the ration board would
dock your canned good ration on the
basis of this future inventory.
The advantages of that plan are not
readily evident. But the disadvantages
are 1t would deflate lots of the en-
thusiasm for Victory Gardening that has
been promoted so assiduously, and would
have discouraging effect as well on home
canning plans.
Furthermore, on what basis of certain
ty could householders estimate in adj
vance the probable quantity of their
homecoming of garden truck, with no
way of knowing whether they or the in
sects and birds are to get the crop, and
without knowing whether pressure cook
ers and canning supplies will be avail
able at the right time.
The docking plan would serve no need
full purpose anyhow The volume of
home canning done would lessen auto
matically the quantity of canned goods
the householder would want to buy. Why
should the bureaucrats feel impelled to
provide for extra procedures and make
simple things complicated just because
they have the authority and means for

The Austin WadsWorth manpoWer
draft proposal has met with over
whelming approval in general not
Withstanding some noteworthy OBJ
jections. This approval has been
neither regional nor partisan. Con-
greSsman WadSWorth'S long devo-
! ton to the selectiye service prin-
cipal, and Senator AustinS Coop
erativeneSS with the White House
in all war measures, perhaps help
ed to avoid the artificial injection
of party angles.
Moreover, there is reason to be-
l:eve that President Roosevelt is
not unfriendly to the measure, and
may even be actively favorable.
This inference could be drawn,
among other sources, from the for
NAL approval given by Secretary of
War Stimson, who would not be
expected to go overheard for bill
opposed by the President.

There should be some provision in the

clcus in the colleges of men whose apti
tudes qualify them for our long range
needs If we are to risk our lives for
freedom, we must at the same time do
all we can to preserve the deep springs

Imperial Valley press., 1943-04-06

The waste of manpower present.
ly resulting from lack of any con-
sistent overall program argues for
the necessity for Congress to act.
But there is another argument of
almost equal weight.
The sole compulsion now avail
able to the administration arises
through perversion of the military
draft. Selective service, designed
merely to see that the burden of
actual soldiery shall fall fairly and
impartially upon all eligible men in
the nation, is being used as club
for a variety of purposes.
