Puzzle for Readers
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The STAR
Here's an international puzzle: Uncle
Sam has on his hands lion (emblem
OF the British Empire), a bear (emblem
OF the Russian Soviet, and an eagle
(emblem Of the United States OF Amer
ica). As he comes to cross the River
of Peace, he finds 1t is possible to take
only one over at time, and If he leaves
the eagle with either the lion or the
bear, the eagle will be devoured. Now,
can you, or your readers, tell me how
he is to cross the river with all three
and save the eagle?

1t Is difficult to understand how OPA

the fact meat has piled up in storage
all over the country, to such an extent
livestock men find 1t hard to sell their

here as we'll as in Canada. But Canada
let's down the bars to buying and the

Finds Information Confused
To the Editor of The Star:
The draft boards seem to be all mixed
up, but what about the OPA? One day
I read that gasoline rules would be re-
laxed. The next see the positive state
ment that no such change is possible
at this time.
have been saving kitchen fats under
the belief that the Government needed
them to make glycerine, essential for
the manufacture of ammunition, but
from authentic sources I learn that the
Government has so much glycerine that
all restrictions have been taken of.
Glycerine for civilian uses in 1914 will
be 100000 pounds greater than in
1943.
I am reminded of Jefferson's state
ment: Give the people the facts and
they will judge wisely" AS things are
now, confidence in our public sources of
information is possible only to those
who have forgotten how they were
fooled the last time

Objects to High School Boxing
To the Editor Of The Star
Having taught high school lads many
years and also having done infantry
athletic coaching, am strongly opposed
to the plan for introducing boxing in
our high schools
I recall distinctly punch-drunk high
school lad, a product of boys club boxing
commercialization, staggering about high
school, with no ambition for any &C
tivity other than boxing as a career.
Cases just like that will occur unless
the finest type of boxing instruction
Is available. which is impossible to at
tain under present conditions.

Answer Wanted From Congress

To the Editor Of The Star:
Will some one in the know how" tell
us in the don't know" why members OF
Congress and other Government officials
have the privilege of being taken care
OF at our Army and Navy hospitals,
which we all are called upon to pay
taxes to build and equip for the sick of
our armed forces? They have rooms,
when conditions are so crowded that
some Of our fighting men are on cots
in halls.
Maybe some member of Congress can
give us the answer to this question?

citation of Imperial Valley in a
meeting at Holtville Tuesday went
on record in the current considera-
ton of the return of Japanese in
terneeS to their former homes in
southern California.
After lengthy discussion the

lowing statement of principles:
"Inasmuch as organizations of
one kind and another in Imperial
Valley have been taking public
stands in regards to the return of
the American-JapaneSe to the val
ley. we the Ministerial Association
of Imperial Valley wish to make
The following statement which we
believe to be an, application of the
eternal Christian principles to a
preSent-day situation:
In the event of the return of tie
japanese to Imperial Valley by, the
War Relocation Authority. we would
urge the people of the valley to act
concerning the matter in Christ
like manner and as American Citi-
zenS.'"
Fourteen members attended the
meeting and all agreed on the prin-
ciples as set forth and all except
two voted to announce these prin-
ciples at this time. Two felt that
the pronouncemen should be de-
ferTed

the Brawley PRESBYTERIAN church,

association in the immediate past
year and urged a closer alliance
of members and a continuous CAM
paign to bring all flax growers in
the valley into the association. He
called attention to concerted ef-
forts" to minimize the operation OF
cooperativeS and mentioned an or
ganization in the Northwest with
a fund Of 100000 specifically ear
marked to fight such organizations
as the association.
Manager McLachlan reviewed the
operations of the recently acquired
mill at Imperial, pointing out the
great advantages to members in
cleaning. storage and shipping fac
ilities there.
The mill was taken over nine
months ago, and as the manager
pointed out, better than broke
even" considering the very liberal
depreciation policy adopted by the
board. He urged all members to
take advantage of the mills facil-
tiles.
S6O,e10 CASH SURPLUS
In brief audit report, Shields
Charleton told the members that
the association ended the year with
a $4,000 surplus and, assets of $780,
900.
Manager McLachlan advised that
the 20 cents bushel premium over
the Minneapolis market will conti-
rue in effect on. the coming crop
ano pointed out that it had meant
an additional 100000 growers on
the 100000 bushel yield since they
association obtained the differen-
tial from the government agencies.
Also members were advised that
the loss in weight in shipment will
be recompensed through profit
and loss account set up by the
board
1t was estimated that the l945
acreage will be around $4,000. All
paintings have not been reported,
ii was announced.
WORD TOO LATE
This acreage, said Manager Nc
Lachlan. would have been at least
$4,000 more had the governments
request for additional acreage been
sent out earlier I'VE can't seem TO
get it over 10 the government agcn-
cies that Valley paintings are en-
tirely different than in other pro-
euction areas. and the notice just
came too late"
The figures released showed an
average yield in 1914 of approXi-
mately 25 bushels to the acre with
many fields giving as high as 43
+ bushels.
