tate long in risking his small capi-
tai on what he considers to be the
big opportunity for his lifetime as
a civilian.
What if it is true that four out OF
five new businesses fail within a
few years? Four out of five men
were killed or wounded in many
battles of this war, but that didn't
make the others give up.
Why think about the thousands
of small businesses which don't exc
out enough profit to give the boss
decent living? Why not think, in
stead, about the Henry Fords, the
Henry Kaisers, and the founders of
thousands of other present-day big
businesses who managed to start
on shoestring and end up with a
fortune?
We hear it said now and then
that opportunity has disappeared
in our country-that all business
frontiers have been conquered. But
that attitude was taken with equal
positiveness so years ago. We may
get the idea at times that little
business doesn't stand a chance in
competition with big business, but
| don't believe it. If we could look
25 years into the future 1 think we
would find that the biggest busi-
nesses of that generation will be
ones which are now just dream
children of far-seeing and ambi-
tious soldiers and war workers.
RISK rewards
To the returning veteran there
will be many who will preach the
gospel of security. Our fighting
men, who have experienced the
ultimate in insecurity, will be
warned about the headaches of be
ing your own boss and advised tt
take good safe jobs where pensions
social security, medical aid ant
regular pay are assured.
There will be many who should
take that advice - who would bt
better off to work for somebody

quate levels to meet Army re-
quirements.
"The medical department is
greatly indebted to the American
Red Cross for the assistance and
cooperation rendered in the manu-
facture of surgical sponges for the
armed forces" Major General
Kinks letter stated. 1.-THE officers
and personnel of my staff join me
in the desire to express sincere
gratitude to each and every one
of the employees and volunteer
workers who had part in the
production and delivery Of surgi-
cal sponges to the medical depart
ment.

Explains Status o.
II = i Italians

Due to many questions asked
and the erroneous opinions OF
civilian employees and people in
general in the Pasco area the
Public Relations Office at Pasco
H & r Point released the follow
ing statements explaining the sta
tus of Italian Service Units en-
ployed by the Army:
The first big mistake is in call
ing these Prisoners of War. They
are not prisoners of war in the
full sense of the meaning. They
have been released from prisoner
of war camps to work for the
government during the present
manpower shortage. All of them
have been thoroughly screened as
to their political affiliations and
beliefs. No man is accepted for
italian Service Units who is Pro-.
Nazi or Pro Fascist. This screen
ing process is continuous opera
ton.
In return for their aid to the
war effort they are given certain
freedoms and privileges, namely
sightseeing and education tours,
removal from enclosed stockades
and the absence of armed guards.
Although no guards maintain a
close supervision over them in the
sense of guarding, they are still
under constant supervision OF
American military personnel at
all times. Alp Italians know that
the slightest infraction Of any
rules or regulations will immed-
lately result in their return to a
prisoner. of war camp. Besides
being returned to a prisoner Of
war status, they will be punished
according to the severity OF their
offense.
Another of the large misbeliefs
about the ISU's is the food being
served. No hind quarter of beef
are given them for food. All beef
used in their kitchen is front
quarter. No butter is given for
table use. A typical days menu is:
Breakfast; Marmalade, bre d,
milk or coffee. Dinner; Macaroni,
fried eggs, string beans, an or
ange, bread, coffee. Supper; Soup,
beef stew, lettuce, an orange,
bread, coffee.
Inasmuch as their meat con-
sists mainly of front quarters it
is practically impossible to cut
any so-called steaks that it is
thought they have. Also with
reference to tobacco rationing,
they are limited to the purchase
of three packages of cigarettes
per week.
The Italian Service Unit sta
toned at Pasco H & r Point
has done much towards relieving
the help shortage in the hand
ling of freight. Italians have
been made into stevedoring crews
and, car for car, have maintained
an equal record working along
side of American crews. Their
work at the Point has been invalu-
able in the war effort.

Changes Made in
Tire Raiioninq

Passenger car owners using
their automobiles for bona fide
change of residence for which
they were issued special gasoline
rations will be eligible beginning
July is, 1945, for Grade one pas
senger tire purchase certificates,
subject to quota and other restric-
tons, OPA announced today.
This extension of eligibility is
particularly needed now that in
creasing numbers of persons are
moving from one city to another,
the Office of Price Administers
ton explained. It will allow the
following groups to apply for new
tires if they have tire failure
while making permanent change
of residence.
1. War workers moving from
one city to another as production
shifts one type of war goods to
another and to civilian commod-
tiles.
2. Members of the armed forces
moving to new post.
3. Discharged veterans return
ing home or moving to another
city to accept a job.
Formerly, issuance Of new tire
certificates was limited largely to
those who held supplemental gas
cline rations for their cars. Per
sons who obtain special gasoline
frations for a change of residence
must surrender all supplemental
rations and so were not eligible
for new tiret while they were
moving. The new provision is de-
signed to bridge this gap in eigi-
bility, the agency explained.
The agency also made it posi-
ger car owners to obtain pur.
BILE for small number of passen.
chase certificate for a truck tire
for use on their automobiles. II
the future truck tire certificate.
may be obtained for passenger
cars operating on B or G ration:
If a suitable passenger car tire
is not available or if a passenger
tire cannot be used on the auto.
mobile.
In third change, OPA pro.
hibited dealers from obtaining Ger.
tificates for. mounting new tire:
on new or used 1912 passenger
cars being held for sale, as those
cars were removed from rationine
July 2 and now may be sold t
persons not eligible for ratione6
tires.

Members of the San Diego-Im-

meeting held Saturday at the Bar

record as favoring the proposed
Limited Access Highway System,

While the exact rou,e of the pro-

the thought of members present
that the Limited Access Freeway

routes except directly through cities.
The highway would have to be rout-

up traffic at those points, it was
