nese penetrated one Allied position

was supported by tanks. Further
enemy attacks on the high positions
were expected, however. as the road

0DT Bars Horses
On Milk Routes

LAS VEGAS, New, May a. CUP)
Yep, even OF Dobbin must have
permit from the ODT.
In compliance with government
requests to save gasoline and
tires, the Anderson dairy, oldest
milk distributor in southern Nevada,
this week launched retail delivery
routes with horse drawn wagons of
the type in vogue a few years ago.
The company advertised seven
day week service in contrast to
-four day a week deliveries Offered
by other dairies using motorized
equipment.
The office of defense transporta-
ton ordered the Anderson firm to
cease the service on grounds it had
failed to obtain a permit from the
ODT district office in Reno and
that seven-day service violated ODT
regulations whether by automobile
or by wagon.
When the dairy refused to end
its deliveries, the ODT threatened
to cancel all gasoline allocations,
including that required for whole
sale milk delivery made by truck.
I'VE are prepared to use horses
for wholesale delivery, Also" an
nounced Kenny Searles, partner.
We thought we were doing some
thing to help the war effort by
saving gasoline used by several hum
dred customers who called at our
plant each day for dairy products.
I'VE still think we're right and
will fight this thing through"

BY Congressman John Phillips

This column recently celebrated
its eleventh anniversary. 1t does
not seem possible. King Solomon
said, Our time is a very shadow
that paSse.h away"
The column has taxed about
many things. Certainly about cab
bages anc' kings; the cabbageS OF
California, and the self-appointed
kings of the Washington agencies.
1t has talked of ships, and it must
have talked of shoes, but l cant
recall any column on sealing wax.
Through the eleven years there
have been several subjects whose
shadows fell over the column more
often than others. Do you remem-
Der what they were?
RISING GOVERNMENT COSTS
The first was undoubtedly the
rising costs of government. This
column has repeatedly pointed out
that government can be changed by
taxes and by rising costs as readily
as by revolution. The immediate
inconvenience are less; the ulti-
mate results are much the same.
When the first Sacramento Let
ter" was dropped in the mail early
in 1888, the total cost Of govern
ment to the people of California,
including federal, state anC local
taxes, was SSH, 1,658,44l.
Today Fiscal year 1942-43 the
total is $2,226,925, ,l43. More than
four times as much. To the Cali
fornianS of 1888, those total taxes
took 1874 per cent of their in
comes; the present taxes take 25.5
per cent, and will take more.
There are times when even a
politician is threatened with dis
couragement! On that subject OF
government costs I will continue to
rise TO remark Taxes" must not
mean separate items to the people
of the 22nd district, but the total
of all taxes, federal, state, county
district, municipal. Only then can
the citizen check this barometer
of his nations strength and integ-
| rity. Taxes can build nation; taxes
can destroy a nation.
DREANIERS MOVE IN
The second subject was undoubt-
edly an effort to point out the
gradual infiltration into govern
ment of people, some of them sim
cere and misguided, who think
that communism is progressive or
smart, or that fasciSm means
the protection of the status quo in
government. Communism is not
progressive, it is the most reac-
tionary political doctrine in the
world today; fascism protects moth
ing; and this column will keep on
saying so, just as it will keep on
calling attention to the propaganda
methods of the boys and girls OF
the communistic line who shout
to high heaven against 'fascism"
in places where it woulC take a
powerful magnifying glass to find
trace, but who cannot see any
evidences of communistic influ-
enceS in government where, like
the termites they initiate, its work.
ers are causing the structure to
crumble.
The column has not talked gen.
eralities; it has given names, adj
dresses, salaries, objectives, back
grounds, sometimes even telephone
numbers. 1t has opposed commun-
ism. fascism, nazi-ism, dictatorship,
centralized government, anG all
isms with or without hyphens, ex-
cept one. 1t is for Americanism.
On this subject, there is encour-
agement. The people understand
that these imported isms bring gov
ernments to the same end, national
socialism and dictatorship.
A third? Perhaps it was an effort
to impress upon you that we act

Ship Citrus In
Paper Boxes7

When the need for wood for war
purposes grew so great, came sug.
gestion from back East that citrus
fruits 60 to market in fibreboard
containers, like canned goods.
Sunkist, pledged to 1000 coopera-
tion with the war effort, tried out
the idea. The Field Service Depart
ment of the Exchange supervised
the loading of a car with oranges
carefully packed in corrugated
paper cartons.
Trouble was, the idea did not take
into account that citrus fruits
breathe and perspire, like people.
The cartons grew moist, soggy.
Those at the bottom bulged, broke,
I filled the car with a mingled mass
of fruit and Shiny paper pulp.
So citrus fruits are still allowed to
travel in wooden boxes, the 0'y
practical way to get this essel
food to Eastern markets. All I.
same, the container situation con
tinues critical.
There are barely enough boxes to 60 =
round. There'd be ruinous short
age right now except for something
that happened back in 1906.
In 1906, to assure an adequate sup.
ply of boxes at reasonable cost. the
Sunkist growers formed the Fruit
Growers Supply Company, secured
shook supply, eventually bought
their own mills and timberland.
Normally the Fruit Growers Supply
Company furnishes less than half
the boxes Sunkist growers use.
Today, with shook production Of
other mills drastically reduced by
the war, the Fruit Growers Supply
Company has been turning hand
springs. Last year it managed to
increase production 379o in order to
keep Exchange members supplied.
This. of course, is just one more ex.
ample of the way the 14.500 Sunkist
growers are able to meet tough situ- :
atiohs by COOPERATIVE action.
Exchange members realize that not
only their Supply Company but their
Field Service, Research Depart
ments, Products Plants. Legal Serv-
ice, Advertising Department, Dealer
Service, Traffic Department and the
nationwide Sunkist Sales Depart
ment all contribute year in and year
out to Sunkist growers security.
Have you said to yourself, after
the war I'm going to join the Ex-
change? Why not heed the words
of Sunkist growers who say, "You
never know what emergencies will
arise in wartime. / know I'll come
through better when have 14,500
other growers WORKING WITH NIX
than l ever could alone"

GREAT FEATURE ABOUT DOG NOW
 ON CAPITOL BILL

The story of a love that almost passes belief, that of small boy and a gorgeous collie dog, brings a different kind of entertainment to the screen in Metro-Goldwyn- Mayors adaptation of Eric Knights story, "Lassie Come Home" now showing at the Capitol Theatre. It is in technicolor, too!
 It is the simple story of York shire family and beautiful collie. Sam Carraclough Donald Crisp) owns the dog idolized by his son Joe (Roddy McDowalD. Through poverty he is forced to sell the canine to wealthy nobleman (Nigel Bruce), who takes Lassie from Yorkshire to his Scottish estates. But the dog, longing for her young master, escapes, and makes her way, @ thousand miles, back to her young master. The animal braves perils and starvation, is be- friended and even sometimes men aced, by kindly farmers, in a vivid and compelling drama.

who said,
 With Prince Rupert, on account of the necessities of war in the Pa cific drawn into much closer con- tact today than ever before with the Territory of Alaska, we feel it is fitting enough that our business people should have a closer personal knowledge of and contact with the communities and people of the Ter ritory. It will aid in carrying on of trade and services between the trib- utary north coast country and a port which has been the closest railway terminal these many years and, as such, has been used to advantage in shipping rom the Alaska area.
 In addition to the railway, we now have the Skeena River highway which, after the war if not sooner, should attract motorists driving be- tween southeast Alaska and the United States.
 Development of shipping trade and travel between the Panhandle and Prince Rupert, now so well equipped to handle it, will, no doubt, be one of the important considera- tions in postwar planning, and it is now timely that We should become better acquainted with the people of Alaska and get an understanding of conditions and problems which may be of mutual interest"

W00LLEY GIVES OUT RULES FOR
 ALL BACHELORS

Monty Woolley has some simple rules for staying single which he personally guarantees.
 And he knows whereof he speaks the closest America's most stub born celibate has come to marriage is in his latest goth Century Fox picture, Holy Matrimony,' now at the goth Century Theatre, in which he "marries" his co-star Oracle Fields. And it took all Producer Nunnally Johnson's tact to per- suade him to go even that far!
 Marriage is for married people, D says Woolley Most bachelors are caught even before they consider getting married Here are my rules for staying single:
 "1-Tell her you've lost all your money. That's the acid test-she'll be sure to tell you I'll love you just as much if I never see you again'l
 "2-Remember that a girl still enjoys flowers and candy-let her know that you remember by speak ing of them occasionally"
 Gas rationing has been the sal vation of many bachelor, Monty believes. He thinks the automobile was one of the worst man traps civilization has ever set.
 My most powerful rule-nevei drive with one hand. Many a mar has driven into a church thai way!"

idea. Heintzleman said the car ferry between Haines and Prince Rupert was one thing the Chamber should work for.
 He said further that the Haines- Fairbanks highway should be main- tained as a year-round highway. As it goes over no high summits, that would be easy to do.
 Heintzleman said he had contact ed number of steamship compan- ies as to the car-ferry plan and re- ported them as being very much in- terested The ferries would have to maintain a regular, fast schedule between Prince Rupert and South cast Alaska towns.
 In discussing the possibility that Juneau might be connected to the highway if and when they build the "A" route, he said the road would be extremely difficult, and perhaps impossible, to build Then, at best, it would serve only Juneau and not the other Southeast Alaska towns whereas the ferry would serve all of this part of Alaska.
 MT Flaten again spoke briefly thanking MT. Heintzleman for his explanation of the car-ferry system and Jack Fletcher, manager of the Baranof Hotel, told the Canadians that in order to attract tourists ac- commodations had to be provided He said a hotel the size of the Bar anof could be community enter prise, pointing out that the Baranoi was partially financed by local capital.
