WASTE TIME-SAvE LIVES

Waste time and save the lives OF
your fellowmen" is the slogan coined
by the Dutch secret paper Je Main
tiendrai as advice to Dutch travellers.
The paper asks that all passengers
in trains, trans, or busses spend the
longest possible time in fumbling for
identity cards when the German pol
ice controller boards the car and de-
mands the cards. Every minute lost
provides the opportunity for other pa
triots to escape. Make long search
for your identity card. Under no cir
cumstances be ready with the card
in hand when the controller ap-
proaches."

SEED BOMBING FOR CHINA

The bombing of China's eroded
areas with seeds of grass, shrubs, and
trees enclosed in little clay pellets
containing fertilizer, was recommend
ed to the Chinese government by DR..
Walter c. Lowdermilk, assistant chief
of the U. S. Soil Conservation Service,
who just returned from year as adj
wiser to the Chinese government on a
program to conserve soil and water
and increase food production. Re-
vegetation of eroded areas by sowing
seeds from airplanes already has been
tried out in the United States.

through price panel assistants and
consumer volunteer aides. Today we
have three injunction suits against
Butte merchants who are not com
plying with price ceiling regulations.
1.-THE Butte unions were not quick
to take hold. Education was neces-
sary and considerable stimulation was
required to overcome the inertia"
| Bill Austin, business agent of the
Clerks union and member of the
Great Falls price panel described the
operation of price control work in the
Great Falls area.
! Commented Mr.. Austin: Last Mon
day at our price panel meeting we had
81 complaints which we broke down
into the four group classifications.
Beginning next week we are calling
merchants in to the price panel to
go over the overcharges. The price
panel is set up to help the merchants
get along with the program and to
aid the rank and file who may have
complaints. There's lot of regula-
lions and it takes lot of time and
study to get on to them.
1--WE try to help and show mer-
chants that it is their duty to go
along with the program. We asked
for volunteers some months ago. The
price panel doesn't do that but it
should be done. 1t can be done four
times a month if we get about 20
assistants"
After considerable discussion it was
agreed that the delegates present
would bring back to the assembly and
to their locals the request that each
local appoint price control commit
tee to work with the price panel and
that an educational meeting be called
for February 3rd, 1914, at which meet
ing the work of the price panel could
be described to the delegates in
structed on the duties of price panel
aides.
John Evanko Jr, secretary of the
assembly described the attitude of or
ganized labor to OPA. He stated:
"Labor's program has not been recog- |
nized by OPA. We want prices rolled |
back to September 1912 levels. That |
is labor's program. The Boren COM
mittee killed grade labelling and up |
grading has caused 279d increase in |
prices of the 1943 food pack. OPA
has pierced it's own ceilings"
Recently OPA bowed to the chem
ical interests by not rolling vitamin
prices back 159o. However, we should
remember that OPA will be in jeo-
pardy in about four months. There
will be an attempt made to eliminate
it entirely. They want rationing but
not price control. 1t is quite possible
that OPA may be eliminated COM
pletely"
In summarizing the course of action
to follow Bill Austin, price panel mem

OPA regulations OPA was late and

Mexico and interest of the Mexican
government in assuring sufficient
beef supplies for Mexican people has
led to a continuation of the export
limitation on cattle shipped to the
United States. A limit of half mil
lion head was set for 1943, and the
same quota has been set for 1914, ac-
cording to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture.

MEXICO'S AGRICULTURAL
SITUATION

Mexico's efforts to increase agricul-

SYNTHETIC RUBBER IN
BRITISH TIRES

Great Britain is now using synthetic
rubber and specified quantities of
natural rubber in manufacturing all
of its rubber tires. Production of
tires for civilian use is not expected
to increase beyond the present vol
ume The supply of rubber tires now
available for farm tractors is not suf-
ficient to meet minimum needs, and
English farmers also are said to be
short of rubber boots and waterproof
clothing.

Two changes in provisions of the
regulation governing prices of anti
freeze have been announced by the
Office of Price Administration. The
changes are designed to bring all
sales and deliveries of anti-freeze
under price control and to facilitate
uniform distribution OF stocks to all
parts of the country.
BY this action, maximum prices
on interdistributor sales, formerly
exempt from direct price control,
will be the ceiling prices already
established for sales to retailers.

TALL TALE


Tigers had been ravaging a viii
lage and the terror-stricken natives
sent for the nearest white man to
assist them.
This man was a crack shot, and
had never been known to miss. His
method was to tie a goat to the
foot of a tree at dusk, climb the
tree, and when the tigers came for
the goat, fire at the flash of their
eyes. In the morning they would
be found dead, shot straight be-
tween the eyes.
He followed his usual procedure
the first night, but although he
fired several shots, when the day
dawned the goat was gone, but
there were no dead tigers.
This happened on two succeeding
nights. Perturbed, he took a huge
torch with him on the fourth night,
instead of firing at the flashing
eyes, switched on his torch and saw,
TO his amazement six tigers advanc-
ing in pairs, each with one eye
closed.
