NOW, LET'S HAVE FRESH
MEAT RATiONED
(Ontario Daily ReporD

(Ontario Daily ReporD
The boys i'm Washington are really
learning how. Last night the sale of
canned meats and fish was stopped-just
like that The old reason was given, the
reason behind all the shortages of non
perishabie goods-hoarding
The great trouble about these sudden
orders Is that people Immediately start
in buying some other line of goods. We
have no remedy to offer our planners in
their present difficulties.
Did England suffer from boarding
when rationing was started, or did the
blitz hit the British Isles so quickly that
people We're glad to share? We know
that other war nations have flourishing
black markets but we seem to be marked
by especial greedineSS as far as present
unratiOned articles are concerned Just
why, we do not know
The surest way to bring about the ra-
IiOning of clothes lies in panic buying
from now on. Instead Of filling our pres
Snt needs we all seem bent ON supplies
for two years hence.
CALIFORNIA; meat shortage is to be car
ried to the president himself, we are told.
Mir. Roosevelt may be able TO put steaks
on our tables by executive ordar-and he
may not Why not a ratiOning order on
all meats tOnlgnI. II canned meats ana
fish can be regulated at a moments no.
tice, the fresh meat supply should be
about ready for ratiOnng. We have had
three months of shortages in meat and
butter now. Regulations could have been
worked out in this time, or so We would
imagine.
A half measure to Distribute protein
food was taken last night We are wait
ing for a full program of share-and-
share-alike. Fresh meat must be rationed
as soon as possible.

HEWES MAKES AN
INTERESTING REPORT

Every taxpayer in Imperial Valley
should read the very satisfactory annual
report of Evan Hewes, president and eN-
ecutive superintendent Of the Imperial
Irrigation District.
We advise this, because the report not
only gives good insight into the district :
operations for the past year, but 1t also
is an eye-opener as to the NaStneSS OF
the districts operations, the complicated
problems created by wartime conditions
and the difficulties of good admmstra-
ton in these difficult times.
Every taxpayer is 1 stock holder IN
this huge concern, far and away the blg-
gest in the Valley, and incidently, the
biggest irrigation district in the entire
United States. AS such. he is entitled TO
. know Just how the years operations work
ed out, so he can give credit where credlt
is due.
The report, though of twenty closely
typed pages. is nevertheless only pun
gent summary Anyone with hall an eye
can perceive that hundreds and hundreds
of pages would be required to tell the full
story. Those twenty pages are therefore
loaded heavily with real interest
Space limitations prohibit any detailed
listing of all the interesting phases, but
do permit a summary of conclusions. One
is. that with all the difficulties encoun-
tered. it appears the district did good
Job. We hope it can fare as we'll in l943.
Another is that no farmer studying the
situation has cause to begrudge the neces-
sary increased water rate. Results re-
vealed it was apparently fully JUSTIFIED.
A third is. that the power program got
through the year in a very satisfactory
manner.
All in ALL it would appear that the dis
trict is moving forward most efficiently.

In Heaviest Raid

GEN. MACARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS, Australia, Feb. 20
,UPD-Flying Fortresses scored hits
with 500-pound bombs on four ships
totaling 27000 tons early yesterday
in one of the heaviest raids of the
war on BUN, big japanese base 1856
miles northwest of Guadalcanal, a
cOmmunique announced today.
While the Fortresses concentrated
on enemy shipping, tWin-engined
Catalina flying boats dropped de-
molition and lncendiary bombs on
supply dumps and dispersal bays at
the nearby Kahili airdrome and
Ballale island seaplane base, setting
fires visible for 30 miles.
PRESS ATTACKS
The planes pressed home their at
tacks from extremely low attitudes
in the face Of strong antiaircraft
ire, but no japanese fighters rose
to challenge them
One vessel of 5000 tons and an
other Of 1000 tons were hit twice
and set afire. The others, of 1900
ana 3,OOO IONS respectively, were
hit once and damaged further by
near misses.
Later yesterday two other ships
were attacked with undiSclOSed re
suits off New Britain.
One four -engined Consolidated
LiDerator shot down three of II
Zero fighters that pounced on it
while it was bombing a ship off
Gasmata, while another Liberator
shot down one of seven fighters that
intercepted it while it was attack
ing a small troop transport off Cape

HE RISES TO REMARK ;.
AND WE SHOULD LISTEN

John Phillips VINO is Imperial county
representative to the national congress
and apparently doing a good job, is un-
usually conscious of his responsibility to
his job and his electorate.
The very fact that he sends personal
message each week to the folks back
home shows he is aware of this respon-
sbility, and eager to give constant re-
port as to what's going on in Washington
d. c.
This message, as you know, usually
appears on this same page once weekly
and we are glad to have it appear under
his own designated heading, Il Rise 10
Remark" We think his idea of sending
back these steady reports is a mighty
good one. 1t gives us all an insight INTO
the federal scene as viewed by our own
representative who comes from the type
of people that inhabit this domain.
We also think it meritorious because it
tends to keep him conscious of his respon-
sibility to his constituency, kind of
steady, personal relationship which is all
to our benefit.
And his reports have exceptional merit
of their own Mr. Phillips doesn't hesi-
tate to call a spade 4 spade. He speaks
frankly and openly of mis- doubts as we'll
as his convictions. In newspaper par
lance, "It's good stuff"
We pay him nothing for this weekly
column. He pays US nothing for printing
it. All the way round, its public service
and good for the community and all con-
cerned. What's more, our readers seem
to enjoy it.
Yes, if Congressman Phillips is eager
and interested in speaking to US, we can
benefit by listening and enjoy the pro-
cess.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 20. - In
crease in the cost of living that hits
Lhe civilian right where he lives
has raised its ugly head to in
crease the cost of military living
in its most important phase of sub
sistence. food and clothing.
Indication of the extent to which
these inflationary tendencies have
hit the Army was revealed here by
Mai. Gen. c. l.. Corbin, chief of
procurement in the Quartermast-
ers' Department and acting quar-
termaster general. during a special
press inspection of the Philadelphia
cuartermaster depot. Two simple
and easily understandable exam
pies. cost of the Army ration and
cost of Army pants, were given to
Illustrate the degree to which the
cost of the war - being stepped
up by price rises.
A year ago, the basic Army field
ration was costing 43 cents per
man per day. This represented
quantity buying. Today that COST
has risen to 55 cents per day
PER mo an increase of approx
ma 0 per cent.
te those figures into the

"a a half million men on US.

Of that amount, the increase

day or 100000 a year.
No AXE PANTS
Mo- AXE the case of the Army
pants.
The Philadelphia ON. depot
recently had occasion TO let con-
tracts for five and a half mil
lion pairs of wool pants. The
quartermasterS run pilot uni
form plant and testing labOra-
tory Of their own here at Phila-
delphia, and though il employs
over 5000 workers, its output of
army clothing represents less
than half OF per cent of what
il takes TO clOthe this modern
armed forces for service in every
climate from Iceland to Guadal-
canal.
Running this Philadelphia fac
tory enables the ONO to know
what costs Of clothing manufacture
are, and to check up on methods of
garment making, testing and in
spaction. A check-up showed that
these pants could be manufacture
ed in Philadelphia at a cost of 85
cents a pair, less materials, and
without profit.
Invitations were sent out for bids
on parts of this order. Knowing
labor conditions and other varying
manufacturing costs all over the
country, it was estimated that these
pants could be contracted for at
prices ranging from low of "a
cents a pair to a high of 80 cents
WENT UP
But because Of the requirements
now put on the quartermaster
generals office to spread the work
to as many small plants as posi-
bic, to let contracts in areas in
which there were no manpOwer
shortages, 10 let contracts i'm areas
where there is surplus labor, be-
cause of all these complex war
conditions the Army finally got
its pants at an average of 85
cents pair.
Contracts placed in the New
York area were let for prices as
nigh as one dollar pair, though
