Amendment
Clarifies
.OPA Ruling

y few of the complications which
have confused farmer and dealers
alike in buying and selling poultry
have been cleared up i'll amendment
3 To MPR 269, the price regulation
governing the sale of poultry except
1t retail, according 10 Arthur il.
Surprise. secretary of the Henderson
Chamber of Commerce.
The regulation has been very con-
fuSing, Surprise says, and he en-
pressed no wonder that there have
been numerous dealers who have be-
come involved in violations.
The pricing structure has been
Simplificd by the latest amendment
which WAS effective last Thursday
but WAS not received until this week.
The price squeeze ON the farmer has
generally not been caScd, and in
many instances the farmer is the &C
tual loser.
The wide variety of permitted
maximum base prices has been cut
down i'll number. All broilerS. frycrs,
rUaStcrS ana light caponS now have
a maximum live weight base price
of 285 cents. Heavy capons, six
pounds or over. have a live weight
MINIMUM base price of 80 cents. The
MAXIMUM base price for live fowl
IS now - cents, and 81 cents is the
top price for stays and old ruustcrS,
regardless of breed.
The farmer is allowed | ID cents
for delivery TO local store. a
trucker To- distant markets has 4
small allowance providing the haul
Is over 30 miles. a wholesalers is
allowed a small profit for poultry TO
Dr consumed on his local market.
With all price considerations the
retail price for Il broilcr, fryer. roast
CT or small capon in Henderson. live
weight will be SO or 81 ccntS.rDrcSs-
ed. the price ceiling will be IL cents
II the retailer bought the chicken
alive from the farmer. A cents if
bought dressed from the farmer. or
- cents if bought alive from Il
Wholesale poultry dealer. Dressed
and drawn, the same bird will sell
about 20 cents Il pound higher.
The price bulletins which were
recently distributed by OPA are no
longer correct. Surprise says. adding
that until the state office of OPA
can revise their Guide" the local
war price and rationing board has
been provided Il corrected price list
by the Chamber of Commerce.

personality that is completely de-
pendent on the written word.
Keeping your letters varied means
keeping yourself that way. 1t means
following the newspapers more
closely than you ever have before.
1t means listening to the war news
on the radio. 1t means knowing
what you are writing about to a
man who Is in the thick of it.
Don't forget, too, that being in
the thick of it, he sometimes doesn't
know what is going on around the
fringe He'll be grateful for what
you can tell him. Tell him, over
and over again, what they are doing
in your town, or city. or district
about the war. The most impor-
tant thing to a soldier is knowing
that the home front is at war with
him.
Tell him about the new people
that have joined the forces. Tell
him who is going where and how
long they expect to be stationed
there. A man in uniform wants to
know which of his friends and
former coWorkers are in uniform
with him. It's kind of men
together attitude. They feel better
if they know they are not the only
ones Of the crowd away from home.
What part of yourself you can put
in your letters, that part he will
have, Make it the most charming,
Evening star., 1943-01-20

most informative, most truly FEM
inine part. 1t is hard to practice
seduction a thousand miles away,
but that's what your letters should
do. A kind of mental, spiritual.
companionable seduction. Thus you
will get him to depend on your
reactions, your news, your under
standing. If you give him this kind
of letter, filled with the life you
live, he will feel, each time he
answers you, that ne has never
gone away.
Consistency Is one of the most
important things you have to follow
in your letter writing. If YOU are
going to write every day you must
write every day. If your routine
calls for two letters a week, never,
never vary it.
Do avoid at all times the state
ment that you are having such a
riotous good time back home that,
of course, you can't find time to
write. 1t brands you as callous.
shallow. II true, you probably don't
care. If not true, it shows you
haven't been writing often or con-
sistently enough. And can YOU
blame him if, brave soldier though
he may be, he breaks his heart
about it?
The best way to get into the
writing habit is Just to write.
Handling the written word comes
more easily to some than to others,

tiresome even if he is a fan of the
technique, but thread 1t through
with detail and gossip and he will
live for your letters.
If you are both interested in head
lines and editorials and what peo-
pie are saying he'll be delighted
with letters that discuss the reac-
tions of people to the latest war
stories. He will appreciate your in
clusion of clippings from the pa
pers. He will look for your COM
ment on current affairs.
If you both are avid book readers
write and tell him about the new
books. Or about new recordings if
you are record collectors. Or about
what your friends are doing and
why, if you've always been a social
pair with a host of friends.
Letters should be as warm and
intimate as you yourself have been
with the man to whom you are
writing.
incidentally, if he is not your hus-
band you know what he is. Friend,
companion, the boy next door. Treat
him as such as in your letters and
don't be afraid of the effect. This
is no time for coy girlish reticence.
If everybody misses him, say so. If
you miss him, say so, too. You may
never has another chance.
After a while, as you concentrate
on this business of letter writing,
you will find yourself developing

CHAPTER II.
The Lost Art of Letter Writing.

How long since you have written
. real letter, letter that told what
you were doing. what you we're
thinking, what the world around you
was like? Probably not in years, if
ever at all
But now it is one more thing you
must learn to do. 1t is one more
thing you want to do, For it is the
only way you can keep in touch
with your husband and let him know
in turn what you are doing and
thinking 1t is for most Of you your
only constant means of communica-
ton these days and it has to be
cherished and nouriShed like an
other sense that needs developing
when the senses of sight and smell
have gone.
If you don't write to your husband
and he doesn't write to you, you
have only memory and furloughs to
fall back on. The fuller and
stronger you make this new written
relationship will grow. So ripe and
healthy can this sense become that
soon you begin to think Of your
husband in terms of it.
One of the best rules to remem-
her, if you want to spare yourself
the unhappinesS of wishing you
hadn't sent yesterdays letter, is to
leave out all personal upheavals.
Did you run into a bit Of in-law
trouble? You have before, you know,
and will again. Why mention it?
Are you feeling lonely and upset
and vaguely suicidal? Don't put 1t
into written words unless you're
prepared to Jump out Of the WIN
dow and this is your last message
on it all.
You've felt that way before. This
hasn't been an easy time and some
days are worse than others. But
on paper 1t has a permanence that
lasts until your next letter arrives,
and even though your "blue" mood
has long since passed, you're in
fficting 1t on some one as If it were

present concern.
It is so easy to sit down after
long day of conflict and penny
pinching and lonesomeness and |
pour out all of it on paper. You
feel that you want some one you love
to share your trouble. After all,
he writes all the details about his |
military life. doesn't he, and he |
makes no bones about the food, the |
routine, the constant complaining. |
All, but that's different!
Your letters arrive as the only |
Fink he has with his outside life. |
In your letters he feels the pulse |
Of normalcy. From your letters he
draws the small details that go into
building a continuity between his |
past and his future.
Don't get involved in domestic
details and don't labor them. If
the children are chore they always |
are. Don't take the attitude of here |

but 1t comes with greatest COM
parative ease after constant doing
Set yourself time and place. Buy
enough paper so you don't have to
wander about looking for a scrap
each time you need one.
Set yourself the habit of writing
at length. Nothing is more off, the
shoulder than the nibbly little letter.
It's a kind of pretext and shows
dlsinterest and dutifulness.
But however often or seldom you
write. remember your letters must
be rich, full of information, and
that the more frequently you write
the less painful will be the separa-
ton. You will find that the worst
part of the hiatus in your emo
tional life can be bridged over. You

racks. Nothing is funnier and more
unfair.
Leave out all references, if you
can, to the high cost of living. He
probably feels troubled enough
about your financial state and it is
better to settle your problems in
silence than to use valuable letter
space to do it in. Besides, what
can he do about it 500 miles or
1000 miles, or perhaps 5000 miles
from home?
Presumably both of you knew
that war made mess of the facts
of life. If you didn't, you should
have consulted Sherman. And one

of the minor messes is the need
for women to stay home and wait
and work and keep things going.
There is no use fidgeting in a letter
about it.
Letters should be as much like
your best moments as possible.
They should be about everything
that concerns you both. Most men
like newsy letters, with lots of de-
tail. If you are the whimsey type
and he likes whimsey, you can give
him the news the whimsical way.

HOUSE VOTES
SUBSIDY BAN
FIGHT STILL ON
Monopoly Agents In Con-
gress Defeat Bill Proposed
By President Roosevelt

Washington.-The House this week
voted to take the lid off living costs
by killing the use of subsidies for
greater food production at controlled
prices. The vote, 2TS to III, came on
extension of the Commodity Credit
Corporation bill CHR 347O, with a
section carrying an absolute ban on
the use of public funds for subsidies.
A coalition of food monopoly agents
among poll tax Democrats and Repub-
licans did the dirty work, with 9S
Democrats and IFS Republicans lining
up against the food budgets of the
American people.
This vote however is only the first
round The bill now goes to the Senate,
and after that to President Roosevelt
for signature or veto. Last July, the
President vetoed Il similar bill with Il
subsidy ban and was sustained.
In immediate food basket terms, the
House action means Il general per
cent rise i'm prices. with the sky the
limit for the future According to OPA
Head Chester BowIes, the subsidy ban
means jumps of 90 cents a pound in
butter, 4.6 cents in pork chops, 3.S
cents in hamburger and similar hikes
all down the line Of staple foods.
The new House imitation move also
came the same day that the L. S.
Labor Department admitted a o. per
cent rise in living costs i'm the last
month. This puts the increase since
Jan. |, 1911, at an official 234 per
cent. Jan. |, of course is the base for
the Little Steel wage freezing formula.
Typical of the low level of argu-
mentS against the use of subsidies was
the constant repetition Of the cry that
the L. s. shouldn't pay peoples gro
Gerry bills. This slogan was coupled
with another eycn more moth-eaten
one to the effetfN that subsidies were
II threat to free enterprise"
/ Actually, the real reason for the poll
tax plus general reactionary fight
against subsidies for lower food prices
is based on simple protiteering. With

make much bigger Killing than they
could dream of making legitimately
1t works this way The big monopoly
interests have the lowest cost per unit
of production and they have the high
est output. Subsidies are aimed [,
bridge the gap between controlled
prices and the higher per unit cost
producers thereby making it possible
for them to get into their top produC

Subsidies aimed at increasing the
output of the smaller and higher cost
producers would mean nothing more
added to the profits of the big mOnop
oily people. They might even NEAR
slightly lower protits-so the monopoly
agents i'm Congress fight against SUB
sides, and to hell with food production
or the health and welfare of the wal
workers.
Hence the low level of The argu

and hence the need for all the people
to do Il real job on the Senate in time
to save the issue.
