In sad. but loving remembrance. of
our dear husband and father John +.
Moore. who departed this life, Octo-

We cannot say, we will not say
That he is dead. he is just away!
With CHEEKY smile, and wave of

He has wandered into an unknown
land.
And left us dreaming, how very fair
1t needs must be, since he Fingers

In the love of There,

He is not dead-he is just away!

of three to five years." he stated
If we go back to this way of doing
business, most of us are going te
be hard up for cash money in the
months ahead.
II urge a policy of moderation
We cannot hope to avoid a return
to prewar practices, but we should
try to hold off such a return just as
long as possible"
Mr.. Plummer urged retailers to
establish sound installment credit
policies when Federal controls are
lifted. He said recommended set
of credit terms would include:
Refrigerators, down payment 1C

House Group Approves Bill
To ReIinquish Jackson Hole
Nv the Assoeioted Press

BY the ASSoctofed PfeSS
The House Public Lands Com
mittee approved today a bill to
abolish the 221 ,0O0-acre Jackson
Hole National Monument in Wy
oming.
The committee accepted an
amendment to place 10000 acres now
in the monument in the Grand
Teton National Park. 1t also would
provide that Teton County, Wyo.,
be reimbursed from park admission
fees for taxes on private lands now
in the monument which will be lost
when the acreage Is added to the
park.
The monument, created by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in July, 1943, was
opposed by Yyoming ranchers and
others on the ground that it pre-
vented the grazing of cattle and
sheep in the monument area.
Representative Barrett, Repub-
lican, of Wyoming, author of the
bill, has been successful since 1943
in preventing appropriation of any
money for administering the monu-
ment or enforcing the Park Service
