REDUCED RATE FOR
SERCIVE MEN’S COPIES
Parents and friends of local ser-
vice men are again reminded of
the new reduced subscription rate
for service men. A raise in regu-
lar subscription rates has made
it possible for the Journal to offer
a special rate of $1.50 per year
Anna Wyatt for a few days as
on subscriptions sent to «men in
any branch of the service.
Letters sent to us by men in
the service express their appreci-
ation in receiving the home paper,
and their interest in its news. We
urge all parents of boys in the
service to send them the Journal
since this is one of the best ways
in which they can keep in touch
with the doings at home and the
whereabouts of their friends.
Parents of boys now getting
the paper are urged to bring in
any changes of address so copies
will not be missed.

SERVICES OF RED
CROSS ABROAD lS ‘
SIGNIFICANT NOW!
Red Cross service abroad has ,
become increasingly significant to l
l
l
millions of Americans, whose
fighting sons now are in the far-
reaches of the globe, Myron Lund,
chairman of Mason County Red
Cross chapter, said today. An-
nouncing the local War Fund cam- 1
paign goal of $5,700. set for this
chapter. Chairman Lund called at-
tention to the fact that 65 per
cent of the national Red Cross
\
will be used by the Red Cross in
its services to the armed forces.
Illustrative of the magnitude of
the Red Cross program, Chair-
man Lund said that at present
the Red Cross in the Middle East
in East Africa. Syria,
Palestine and Iran, in addition to
Armed Forces from advanced
fighter bases in Tripolitallia to
hospitals and Service Clubs in
Egypt and Palestine.
Many Services
Thesole official volunteer ser-
vice agency in the War zone, the
Red Cross divided its work into;
able bodied men in the field, hos- l
pital work among the woundedl
'and sick, and club work for men]
on leavc.
Each American fighting group;
in the western desert is accom-l
panicd by at least four Red Cross
workers——a field director, two as-'
sistants and a recreational super- ,
visor. ]
An example of Red Cross work-
ers’ morale program is their pac-
tice of cabling {home for informa-
tion for expectant fathers in the
services. The. Red Cross pays ma-
ternity bills for soldiers, if neces-
sary, and the fathers repay the
loan when they are able. |
The recreational supervisor or-
ganizes games for the men, buys
records, phonographs and news-
papers. The club program is han-'
dled by an experienced staff which
seeks to provide for men on leave
a homelike atmosphere with good
food sold below cost.
The Cairo Red Cross club, start-
ed recently, provides 1,100» meals
daily. It has 250 beds which us—g
ually are filled to capacity by‘
v men on leave. The club’s program
directors organize dances, free
tours and guides to ancient Egypt.
4-H Members Are ]

Mason County rural boys and

even greater efforts to bring vic-
tory on the farm front, says Clint
Okerstrom, county agent.

effort. They have been asked tol
take a full man’s or a wOman’s
load in this job of producing a
record crop of foods and fibers
in 1943.”
Many former 4-H’ers are now,
in the armed forces, and those at
home are going ’to‘ do their best
to see that the men in the armed
forces are not let down by those]
at home. They are also going to
attempt to get new members, 80'
there will be a “4-H‘er behind ev- l
cry fighter.”
The club members have set
these points. as their goal for
1943:
1. To produce and conservd
needed food supplies for home and
abroad.
2. To save for victory.
3. To develop their health and
that of the community.
4. To acquire technical and me-
chanical skills for farm and home
tasks to help meet the wartime
needs. '
5. To help interpret the nation‘s
war program in their communi-
ties.
6. To practice democratic pro-
cedures and promote steps in de-
Yteloping the “good neighbor" spir~'

offices, according to Frank Prince,

New Fire Law
Makes Injury Of
Timber Offensei
1
Approved by the President onl
December 24, 1942, H. R. 7141'
(77th Congress) now Public Law
includes “livestock, forage, !
forest products and standing tim-
ber suitable therefor" as “war
material" under the Sabotage Act
of April 20, 1918. For the dura—
tion of the war, “willful injury orl
destruction"-of timber or forestl
products by incendiarism or tres-i
pass is a Federal offense punish-
l
‘able by a fine of not more than
$10,000 or imprisonment for not
more than 30 years, or both. i
“The importance of wood and‘
other forest products in the war
;effort is given recognition in this
amendment,” said acting regional
forester H. J. Andrews, U. S. for—
est service, Portland. “It brings
home the seriousness of forest
in wartime, particularlyl
when caused by incendiarism orl
‘willful carelessness. We had anll
‘excellent forest fire record last
year, thanks to favorable weather
and the patriotic response of our.
citizens. We want to do even bet-
in 1943, and a widespread
knowledge of this new wartime
federal law will help. And per-
haps we can all acquire good
habits in wartime that will carry
over into the peace."
All law enforcement agencies, it
is said, will cooperate in strict
out the present war emergency.
Ration Book One
N o t Available
Until Next Month
For persons who have no War
Ration Book One—which means
Tonthere’s a ray of hope.
Everyone will be able to get
War Ration Book One, but not
until sometime in March, A. J.
Krauss, state food rationing re-
presentative said today.
Deadline for Book One was
January 15.
Local ration boards are being
swamped with calls from persons
tion Book One. Nothing can be
done about it now. The dates in
March when they will be available
will be announced later, Krauss
said.
B and C Cards
Renewed by Mail
Motorists holding, supplemen-
tal B and C gasoline rations are
now permitted to obtain renewals
by mail rather than by appearing
personally before local War Price
and Rationing Boards, OPA re-
gional officials in San Francisco
announced.
The simplified methods of ob-
taining renewals apply also to re-
newals for non—highway rations,
such as gasoline-powered farm
equipment and industrial machin-
ery, said OPA officials.
Under the new plan, rationing‘
boards will mail renewal applica-
tion forms to B, C, E and R ration
holders some time before their
rations expire. This is new form
taking the place of the present;
renewal certificate, which was at-
tached to the original application
for a supplemental ration.
Applicants for basic, special, or
transport rations must continue
to apply for coupon books as pre-
viously.
REPAIRS FOR ARMY TRUCKS
Local garages and dealers may
sell repair parts, gasoline. or tires
to U. S. Army trucks without a
certificate of war necessity, the
Office of Defense Transportation
has ruled.
