The OPA has issued a warning to
dealers that while 1t is all right for
them to mix additives to their gaso-
line, 1t is NOT all right for them
to increase the price per gallon
thereafter. Says an OPA bulletin
from Denver:
1T has come to our attention that
a considerable number of petroleum
dealers throughout our Rocky noun
tain six-state region have been pur-
chasing so-called additives, made
up Of mixtures of certain chemicals
and lubricating oil, or in some cases
simply chemicals alone, adding
these mixtures to their gasolines at
premium price, usually ! cent per
gallon higher than the price for un-
treated gasoline.
we do wish to make 1t clear, in
the case of gasoline sold at retail,
that the charging of any premium
price whatever for gasolines treated
with such additives is expressly pro-
hibited by the provisions of Revised
Maximum Price Regulation No. 1877
and that the charging of premium
price in such cases constitutes a
clear violation of the regulation
Consequently, any retailer may,
If he so desires, handle and sell
additive treated gasolines. How
ever, he must sell such treated prod
ucts at prices not to exceed those
at which he would have sold his
various grades of gasoline had they
remained untreated In other words,
a dealer handling regular (house
brand) gasoline must sell that gaso-
line, treated or untreated, at a price
not to exceed his maximum retail
price for untreated regular gaso-
line"

Trying to plan reconversions from
war to civilian production so as 10
cause minimum confusion, unem-
ployment and moving about oil
manpower presents a hatfu oil
pretty little headaches like these +:
Here is a typewriter factory, here
a washing machine factory, ana
here an automobile assembly plant.
All three have been making, say,
light machine guns, and doing a
good job of it. But along comes the
time when the Army has all of this
particular type of weapon it needs
for original equipment of troops.
All it will need for the future will
be requirements for guns worn out,
lost or damaged in battle. Ques-
ton How shall the cutback be
handled?
Cutting back all three of them
would seem to cause a maximum
of confusion in three places and
break up efficient mass production
techniuues. The smart thing would
be to cancel two of the contracts,
keeping the third plant going
All right. when Two? Question
Which of the worst? Answer
Washing machines. But there's a
shortage OF fractional horsepower
electric motors and washing ma
chimes need electric motors, so
that's out.
How ahcut the typewriter fac
tory? We.l, f they let this one
plant get back into civilian pro-
duction it will have the jump on all
the other typewriter manufacturers
who are now making fire control
instruments. shells. heavy machine
guns, radio sets and all manner of
munitions which are still needed in
quantity by the armed services.
Even letting the one company make
a nameleSS victory" model type
writer for all the others is objected
to because that puts this one COM
pany back in he typewriter busi-
ness, where il can perfect post
war models ana get trade posi-
ton advantage ever its competitors.
The same objection applies to
the auto plant. No one auto maker
can be permitted to get back in
production ahead of the others, So
what do you do, Mr.. Bones, in
predicaments like these?
Lcok at the problem from another
angle. Which plants could be cut
back with a minimum disturbance
to working forces? The typewriter
and washing machine factories, as
such. woult employ only a frac-
ton of the people they are now
employing on expanded production
of light machine guns. Cancelling
out their war contracts might
cause lot of unemployment. Ques-

Dairy Head Raps
Subsidies in
Rotary Address

Farm subsidies are the bunk!
SO declared Sam Green, secre-
+ tary-manager of the statewide
/ California Dairy Council in a
speech delivered Thursday to the
/ El Centre Rotary club.
In a direct attack on the con-
troversial subject of subsidies for
producers of farm and dairy prod
ucts, Green declared the theory TO
be falseand Unfair to future gen.
erations.
"Insidious" and dangerous" were
applied to the federal administra-
ton theory of using subsidy pay
ments to hold down public prices
on foodstuffS.
When you buy a pound of butter
for so cents, Green explained -
you arc obligating your children
and grandchildren to pay an addi-
tional 5 cents for your pound of
butter In addition, they must pay
interest and carrying charges, and
also pay for the cost of admins
tration of the subsidy plan.
AS further illustration, the eX-
pert dairy authority explained that
the annual national consumption
of butter alone is some two billion
pounds per day. At five cents per
pound tthe current amount paid by
government as a subsidy, the
housewife can viSi>alize the huge
sum being paid by government, all
of which must be paid back in the
form of taxes.
Green said that organized labor
is using every means TO push the
subsidy program. AT a CIO meet
ing recently in San Francisco. TO-
900 names we're obtained to petit
tions advocating subsidies. These
were sent to California senator's
and congressman in Washington as
supposed evidence that the public
wants the program.
To offset the effects of such ef-
forts. Green urged that every farm
er and businessman in the farm
belts should contact their senator's
and congress condemning the sub
sidy program.
Green explained the problems of
the dairy industry in this country,
pointing out that production is not
sufficient to meet normal civilian
and military demands.
Green was presented by Robert
R. Schwob who is developing an
elaborate dairying program on his
Tamarack Ranch.

dairying. To build a profitable dairy
business takes years of work and
unstinted building.
Secondly, the breeding program
in Imperial county has been neg
lected and stock is not generally
OF good quality although there are
many good herds including those of
Howard FarnSWorth south of El
Centro and Bob Schwob on the
Tamarack ranch.
That prices are not attractive
enough to promote lively interest
in dairying, was agreed by those
present. In the past the difference
between the local market prices
and Los Angeles prices was too
great, according TO one dairyman
although due to the war there is
not now great margin.
CITES FUTURE MARGIN
In this regard, however, Green
made the prediction that in the
future dairymen would see a mar
rover margin between the prices
paid for market milk and manu-
factured milk prices. He also de-
clared that prices should be made
more attractive for dairying in re-
lation to other types of farming.
Dairy, he declared, is still the most
dependable farming operation of all
because the farmer knows from
day-to-day what he can expect to
receive.
The fact that the Los Angeles
dairy area makes the local ar\
grow its feed is costing the county
money each year, was one state
ment.
Milk production per COW is less
in this area than on the coast,
but it was pointed out that it costs
less TO produce milk and butterfat
here than on the coast. One dairy
man pointed out that with the re-
duction of flax acreage more al
falfa will be grown and this will
benefit dairying too.
LAUDS VALLEY
Praise for the county was ex-
pressed by Scwob who said that
Imperial Valley land costs less
than in some areas, will produce
more per acre, water costs less, and
with every farm electrified, there
are more conveniences here than
elsewhere. The matter of getting
out of the mud in the winter is &
small problem, and the cooling Of
barns in the summer can be made
possible, he said
There may not always be mar
ket for milk in the Los Angeles and
San Diego areas, but there always
will be market for milk used to
make butter, cheese and ice cream"
Green advised.
1t was his belief farmers should
concentrate more on manufacture
milk markets.
Gene Lott, of the Irrigation Dis
trict, predicted more diversified
farming in the valley after the war
resulting in many small herds.
There would still be the large
dairies, he believed but there will
also be more farms with ten TO
20 cows.
The future of dairying lies in
the education OF the young people
said Green. TOO many commune
ties are failing 10 realize that in
the young people lies the hope of
the agricultural future of any area.
We must interest the young people, |
train them and help them in going |
into dairying if we want to see the !
program succeed" he said.

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

A British magistrate recently
ruled that a husband has the right
10 decide who is TO enter his home
including in-laws.
As undemocratic in principle as
the ruling is. there is probably pro-
found wisdom in the magistrates
verdict.
For men seldom make the mis-
take of cluttering up their homes
with old schoolmates. lonely aunts
or interfering in-laws.
Men are hard-headed enough to
know that a husband and wife get
along better the less interference
they have from outsiders.
In short. where their own homes
are concerned, men are natural
isolationists.
But women are apt TO let their
hearts run away with their heads
TO the extent of bringing in for long
visits or even lifetime occupancy
any relative they happen to feel
sorry for.
And as the husband grows less
and less pleasant to the guest, the
wife champions the outsider-and
a once peaceful home is no longer
n happy place for anyone, not even
for the outsider.
