If it is true, for example, that no one company has the right to convey the impression that it is the sole producer of jeeps, then to let that advertiser go on for the duration doing so would give him an unfair trade advantage. On the other hand, if any one company hes the exclusive right to that ad- vantage, to deprive him of it with out a complete investigation would be to foster the very things we are fighting against.
 While there is no intent here to anticipate the findings of the ETC, I'm reliably informed that ETC of ficials at this stage are convinced that the 'jeep' as the Army and Navy know it today isn't a product of any one company. Although several had a hand in it, it was really the Army, working out re- finements principally at the Aber deen, MT, proving grounds that gave it it's final form.

his company is convinced that the Army "jeep" won't be adaptable to civilian needs and that the post war "jeep" may be as different from it as a tractor is from a tank.
 There's only a slight possibility the hearings will develop who first named the "jeep." As far as I can find out, no one really laid claim to copyright on the word. Some are convinced that it came from a fantastic character in a comic strip. Others claim its's merely a diminutive of the old expression "jeepers,r or .jeepers-creepersp

 INSTALLED AT
 JWC BANQUET

Highlight of the annual May ban auet of the Juneau Woman's Club held last evening in the Gold Room of the Baranof Hotel, was the in- stallation of officers, the ceremony conducted by the outgoing Presi- dent, Mrs. John Mccormick, who was assisted by Mrs. Jacques Schurre as Marshal
 Installed to lead the organization during the coming year were Mrs. Harold Smith, President: Mrs. Charles Popejoy, Vice President, Mrs. A. E. Glover, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. J. V. Cole, Record ing Secretary; Mrs. D. w. Heron, Treasurer, and Mrs. Burras Smith, Custodian
 Mrs. Mccormick, in full report of the years many activities, an- nounced that 3l new members were added to the clubs roster during the past season, and the total member ship now numbers 83. She expressed her thanks to the officers who shar- ed the responsibilities with her, and said that without their cooperation, the accomplishments of the past year would have been impossible.
 The new President, Mrs. Smith, asked for the united efforts of all members during her year of office, saying that she had been a club member for almost 20 years, and had yet to find lack of cooperation among the personnel. Mrs. Smith served as President several years ago.
 An interesting talk was given by Mrs. Harry P. Hart, who has trav- eled widely in the Latin American countries. She chose to discuss Ecuador, where she and MT. Hart spent two years dating from 1889. Until six months before their visit, the only access to the country was by boat down the west coast of South America, and by rail to Quito, the capital For this reason, the people were about 400 years behind the times. In November of 1888, the first weekly plane arrived, in stituting a service which has made great changes in the outlook of the inhabitants, due to their contact with the olitcida world
 The buildings are. all of adobe, Mrs. Hart said, there being no wood for construction, and the Spanish style of architecture prevails, with the liberal use of balconies which extend over the streets, which are narrow and crowded.
 There are no womans organiza- tions as are common in the United States, not even church groups, al though since the start of the war much work has been done for the Red Cross and other relief groups.
 Mrs. Hart said Quito is beautiful, but it finally became tiresome to see the sun set every day at pre- cisely at o'clock, since the city is situated at the equator
 The musical part of the program was composed of three vocal selec- tions by Mrs Henry Harmon, who sang 4L'Amour, Toujours, L'Amour" and Indian Love Call' by Rudolf Friml, and an unusual number call ed Toy Balloon She was ac- companied by Miss Ruth Brooks and Mrs Charles Popejoy, who also was heard in a piano solo, the popular Melody in F. by Anton Rubenstein.

afoot to carry over OPA as a perma-
nent postwar fixture in America"
Addressing the 46th annual con-
vention of the National Association
of Retail Grocers, Mr. Ploeser, quot
ing from what he said was report
In the New York Times. asserted:
Early this year Price Administra-
tor Chester Bowles expressed HIM
self as profoundly concerned lest,
in our eagerness to shed ourselves of
wartime Government and give free
reign to initiative and enterprise
after the war. We conceive the role
of Government too narrowly
"Eye-Opening Revelations"
1.-THE OPA chief called upon the
Government-and by that he means
the New Deal-to be ready to take
whatever action, however broad and
far-reaching it may turn out to be,
that is necessary to sustain a high
level of industrial and farm activity.
Mr.. Ploeser added that Mr.. Bowles
concluded with eff, after the war,
we permit another great depression
to overwhelm us, we shall be forced
to resort to such bag full of Gov
ernment cures that we may entirely
lose our character as free economic
society and a free people.
"In reporting these eye-opening
revelations by the price admins
TRAITOR" Mr.. Ploeser said, "the New
York Times credited Bowles with
predicting that the OPA formula can
be adapted to the postwar era"
do you want Federal-State food
stores?" Mr.. Ploeser asked. do you
want some one in Washington for
ever telling you what you can buy,
what you can sell, and how much
you can pay or charge for it?"
Fears Fourth Term.
81 fear fourth term will destroy
our republic" Mr.. Ploeser added.
p. M. Brinker of Dallas, Tex, gro
GERS president, in his annual report
declared, THE time has come when
OPA, and all Government agencies
and officials, must take business and
the consumer into their confidence,
If they want respect for rationing,
price control or any other under
taking"
"One of the latest actions of OPA
Is the removal of veal and lamb
from rationing-when the supply Is
so short" Mr. Brinker said.
THE housewives cannot under
stand why the market has no sup
ply-or limited supply--when the
items are point-free, when she has
been led to believe by OPA that
there is plenty. But there isn't.
Conditions like these lead toward
disrespect."
