The BIufton NeaUs presents
another IN the series of lesser
known aspects of South Amer
icd.-EDIToR.
The second highest capital in the
world-next to La Paz, Bolivia
Quito, metropolis to Ecuador, sits in
the heart of the Andes, almost two
miles above sea level.
Believed by many to be, from an
artistic point of view, the most
important city of the New World,
Quito is one of the oldest seats of
civilization in the Western Hemi-
sphere.
It's history goes back not only to
four centuries of Spanish influence
but further to the time when it was
the capital of the Inca Empire and,
before that, settlement of the
Caras Indians.
Quito's geographical situation is
greatly responsible for the fact that
the city is today an artistic shrine.
While the vicinity of Pichincha
volcano-at the foot of which the
famous battle for the independence
of Ecuador was won by Sucre-has
caused tremors and earthquakes
which occasionally rocked the city
and cracked buildings causing extern
sive damage, the mountains have, on
the other hand, proved to be for
Quito protective barrier from the
world.
Thus it has retained more of the
characteristics of the Spanish colon
ial period than perhaps any other
South American city.
Only in 1908 was its modern
development hastened by the arrival
of the railroad. For centuries be-
fore, the capital of Ecuador has
practically lived life of it's own,
remote, isolated, aloof in the heart
of its mountains, guarding its
treasurers from the passing world.
Because of its high altitude, Quito,
located almost on the equator, has
an ideal climate. 1t combines days
and nights of equal duration with a
temperature which recalls spring
summer and autumn, all in one day
Rich and picturesque, basking in
the sunshine to the sound of its
hundreds of bells, the city looks

New Battle Over Fast Time Looming
In Ohio State Legislature This Week

With most of Ohio's cities return

is shaping in the state legislature
this week.
Newest development in the time
controversy which has arisen period
ically since the clocks of the nation
were turned ahead one hour at the
start of the war, is proposed law,
backed by rural bloc, which would
deny state funds to any city which
does not adhere to slow time.
The bill already has been recon-
mended for passage by the house
committee, and it may pass the house
which is controlled by rural men,
bers. However, it is expected to en-
counter strong opposition in the
state senate where city legislators

Book 3 continuing good indefinitely.
The new stamp viii come into use
nine months after the last previous
stamp was validated last November
/. This eliminates the two pairs of
shoes a year policy that had been in

OPA said the principal emphasis
this year will be on production of

adults shoes likely will continue

are in the majority.
Two years ago rural members OF
the legislature forced thru an act
making central war time (slow time)
the official time of the state.
Most municipalities conform to
slow time during the fall and winter
months but practically all of them
revert to the hour faster eastern war
time during the spring and summer.
Proponents of the new bill now up
for consideration in the legislature
contend that operation of cities on
fast time causes great inconvenience
to the residents of rural areas who
set their clocks by slow time.
Should the bill become law, cities
of the state would have to operate on
slow time or face the loss of lit mil
lion dollars a year received from the
state for their various funds.

Butter and hamburger points re-

At the same time, some cuts were.

they did in the corresponding quar-
ter of 1914.
2-Collect red points for every
pound of meat sold or transferred.
3-Charge no more than ceiling
prices for meats and other commodi-
ties.
Every civilian should be able to
obtain his share of the meat supply
in exchange for the proper red ration
stamps. The person who lives in the
non-meat producing areas depends
upon his meat supply from the meat
supplying areas.
OPA points out that the more
meat slaughtered on farms, and of a
necessity sold in the producing areas,
the less meat there is available for
the non-producing areas. As a re-
suit a reasonable limitation must
be imposed on the sale and transfer
of farm slaughtered meats, OPA
said.

New Ration Book No. 5 In Preparation
Indicates Continuation Of Rationing

War Ration Book No. 5 is in pre-
paration in Washington and OPA
plans to put it in use late this year
or early in 1916, it was learned this
week.
No final decision has been made
yet whether the new book will be for
one or two-year period, but those
preparing it say that probably it will
follow the pattern of current book
No. 4 and be good for about "a
months.
Preparation of Book No. 5 is based
on official estimates that meat, dairy
products, canned fruits, canned vege-
tables and sugar will remain scarce
after Germany's defeat.
At the present rate of use, Book
No. red stamps for meat and dairy
products will last until about De-
cember /. Blue processed food
stamps will do until about October 1.
Announcement that rationing likely
will continue until the close of the
Japanese war was made at the same
time that OPA broadened the ra-
tioning of meat, to bring 991a per
cent of all meat under the ration
program.
Beginning this week, all meats ex-
cept mutton take red ration points,
including Gull and utility grades of
veal and lamb, and all grades of
less popular cuts of veal and lamb,
such as breasts, shanks, necks and
flanks.
Other changes provide increase of

 Marshall said the decision to do this was made by Lieut.. Gen. Joseph McNarney, now successor to Dwight D. Eisenhower as European com mander.
 Marshall went to the Army Pearl Harbor Investigating board and in a secret session explained. It did not become part of the record, how ever.
 Marshall said around that time he heard a rumor he had ordered des- troyed message-tlAe elusive winds" message which Tokyo re- portedly used to tip off its diplo- mats on the arrival of the state of war.

Treasury Policy of Count ing Sales Through Month
 Spurs Local Hopes

Gastineau Channel series "E" Victory Bond purchases, counted through the official end of the Victory Loan campaign at the close of last Saturday, Dec. 8, totaled S9l l25, the War Finance Commit tee office has disclosed.
 The period marked out for the Victory Loan drive is now over. Mrs. Katherine Nordale, head of the local WFC office, stressed that "E7 bond purchases throughout the month of December, however, will be included by the Treasury De- partment to swell Victory Loan totals. Recent reports from several local organizations who are either over the top of their individual quotas or very near to their goal indicate that the Juneau-Douglas drive should attain it's Sl30000 "E" bond goal before the month comes to a close-that is, if the recent purchase pace here is maintained and the groups still short of their marks carry on until their jobs are completed.
 On the all-Alaska front. 10 towns are reported to have topped their quotas last Saturday night.
 Ketchikan closed out it's cam paign with a final-week sprint that boosted it's "E" bond total to S132,- 730.75. The First City's quota had been set at $110,000.
 Fairbanks is still the Territory's leading city in Victory Loan sales, with a closing mark of S257 BEATS. Other 100 per cent communities in clude: Petersburg, $30,094.75; Craig, $7,35o; Seldovia, Fort Yukon, Unga, Ouzinkie and Cordova.
