Margarine and Fish
Points Up; Cheese
Points Are Lowered

Point values for margarine and
canned fish will be increased, points
for cheese will be reduced, and the
point values of nearly all meats will
be unchanged during the rationing
period July l to July %, OPA said.
The point value of butter remains
unchanged.
A two point increase in the mar
garine point value from IL to IA
points a pound, is necessary because
of the decreased supply and to i'm
prove distribution. Rationed canned
fish, with present point values rang
ing from four to nine points a
pound, will be increased two and
three points a pound, depending
upon the kind, because of reduced
supplies for civilians.
Although the overall supply of
cheese will be somewhat smaller
during the third quarter, new point
values for the July r~ationing period
are from two to four points a pound
lower than during June to prevent
loss of perishable varieties from
spoilage. Point values of hard
cheeses such as cheddar and blue,
were reduced four points. The only
fresh or cured meat point value
changes for July are increases of
one and two points a pound for
seven fat pork cuts.

Carrier Crew Man
Gets on Solid
Ground Few Hours

ABOARD AN AIRCRAFT CAR
RIER IN THE P~ACIFIC-Wallace
R. Snyder, electricians mate third
class of Nashua, Mont, is back at
the business of fighting Japs after
a recent three-hour rest period on
one of the navy's recreation
islands" in this var zone.
The recreation islands have
been set up on tiny atolls to give
navy men a few hours to relax be-
teen battles.
The crewmen of this carrier Wis
tied the island in small parties, and
had a chance to put their feet on
solid ground for a few hours. They
were taken on a tour of abandoned,
matched native huts, where a small
tribe of islanders made their homes
before the war. They also were
given an opportunity to hunt along
the beach for oddly-shaped coral
and seashells washed up by the tide.
Recreation and refreshments in
cluded cans of beer and soft drinks,
a ball game, horseshoe pitching,
boxing, swimming and sun bathing.
The sailors also had a chance to
mingle with crewmen of other ships
in the area, swapping sea stories
and talking about mutual acquain-
and relatives.

OPEN LETTER TO THE GREAT NORTHERN
ear Mr.. Gavin and Associates:


Having pondered long over the state of affairs in the town
where the 6:15 am. limited woke everybody and nobody could
go back to sleep, we are moved to write this letter to you about
your whistles. There is nothing personal about this; we mean
the whistles on your nice, new shiny dieselelectrics.
We are just as proud of your new motive power, maybe,
as you are. We look forward to the day when it will be pulling
brand new streamliners through this territory. But, it was quite
a shock some mornings ago just past midnight when we awoke
from a deep sleep with the vague idea that a large and noisy
elephant was running rampant in our back yard. Sweeping the
cobwebs from our befogged brain, logic dismissed this thought
and then we realized that it was about time for the mail train
to pass through. The information next came to mind that you
had just announced the new locomotives were being put on
this run. The conclusion was unacceptable. 1t was your horn
or whistle that had awakened us.
Frankly, we don't know just what you can do about this
situation. Perhaps the old whistles on the steam trains make
just as much noise. But, is seems to us, it is more soothing.
These new tooters have a more aggressive sound. Maybe you
could, in time, work out a double set of them-one for the
open country and another more polite and melodious type
for town. 1t might even play a tune. Casey Jones" would
be appropriate.
On second thought, we have a better plan. 1t would elm
mate the need for extra whistles-at least in Glasgow. Just
change your schedules so that all trains reach here in the
daytime or early evening. We don't know how this would
work out in st. Paul or Seattle, but anyway it would meet
with complete approval here. Concluding. please don't think
same, we'd like to have both the progress and the sleep.

Opheim Veteran
Says First
Battle Is Worst
By Courier Correspondent

OPHEIM-Private Raymond Ras-
mussen, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Lars
Rasmussen, arrived home from
Europe Monday. Private Rasmussen
had been in Europe since February
10 and was with the Third army
most of the time. He was in France.
Belgium, Austria, Czechoslovakia
and Germany.
The first few moments in battle
we're his most exciting. Although
Rasmussen did not receive as much
as a scratch in battle he had a man
killed on both sides of him by
snipers. He described the incident
as they first jumped off at Seige
river in Germany. One platoon had
advanced ahead to clear the town,
the second platoon advanced to the
left and the third, of hich RaS-
mussen was a member, advanced
on the right. Shippers were still in
the town. The men were out in the
field advancing when they hit the
squad leaders. One was on each side
of Rasmussen.
Rasmussen returned on the
Marine Panther" and arrived in
New York June 25. He was home
last September. He will return to
Camp Mccoy, Wis, after a 30-day
furlCugh here.

LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT

Reading a service publication the other day, we came
across this headline, "Vet Can Get House and Lot Under Il
Bill" 1t is no surprise that many service men are laboring
under a complete misunderstanding of loan provisions of the
G. l. bill of rights. We blame a lot of this on political pro
paganda, an effort to make the service man believe he is going
to get the world with a fence around it when he comes home
So far as the loan provisions are concerned, he will do well
to read them. First of all, a veterans loan is not a gift, as
some publicity and statements have inferred. 1t is just as
much an obligation as any other borrowed money. Secondly,
it cannot be had for the asking. In fact, under rules set up
by the government, it is more difficult to get than an ordinary
bank loan. Veterans organizations here and elsewhere feel
that the truth should be told in fairness to the service man.
Let's quit kidding him. Uncle Sam isn't doubling for Santa
Claus in this case.

Peck lake were warned this week to
keep a sharp lookout for rattle
snakes. A Nashua youth was bitten
Sunday as he stood on the lakeshore
with his father. The snakes are be-
lieved to be coming out of rocks
and holes because of the rising
water in the reservoir, which is
forcing them from their usual
hauntS and makes their actions more
unpredictable than usual.

Examine the blfold of the average American citizen and YOU will

We are the greatest people in the world for joining organizations.
Some join for business, others fer sociabihty, yet Others are actually
interested in the functions and aims of the order. Some join out of curl
oty and others sign up because the neghbors belong. The rtuansic
work OF the fraternal orders carries a special appeal to many. They enjoy
being robed and sounding off with solemn ritual cadence before a group
Of bewildered candidates
In recent years, the women folks have fallen into the joining habit.
Auxlhanes for all organizations have been provided to give the ladies
a chance to remain out with papa-n case someone can be hired to
take ar c. the youngsters. We also have the many unions If organized
labor. They, too, have their auxnareS and their social times.
