UTAH, THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1945 Editorial... tagton For false Christ and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders to seduce, If It were possible, even the elect. Mark 13:22. Be not the first by whom the new are tried. Pope. Advice To the Shopworn This is a message of Dutch uncle advice to the many young women who have become housewives and food shoppers since the war began. It is prompted by the statement of OPA Director Chester Bowles that Ration Book 5, due in December, may be the last in the series. Points may still be a part of your life for a year or so. But sometime you are going to have to reconvert your marketing technique tech-nique to peacetime requirements. And right now isn't too soon to give you a few of the facts of prewar life, if your mothers haven't already. Back before the war, money was a basic consideration of shopping. Nobody had ever heard of the theory that if the butcher has the beef and you have the points, then the price doesn't matter. If it had been ,it would have been labeled snobbish extravagance. Quality was also important. And the game of finding high quality at low cost (which was called "getting a bargain") was quite as jxciting as knowing who has plenty of ;igarets and soap powder today. Most prewar shoppers didn't know the lifference between a No. 2 can and a barrel. But a lot of them knew the difference between be-tween two heads of lettuce, and could tell a god piece of meat by looking at it. You'll be able to do it too, with practice. The prime factors of price and quality will probably assume their old importance. And you young ladies, if you're to hold your heads up in the community, will have to overcome the habit of buying the first thing the butcher shows you, happily paying for the thumb that he weighs in with your pur chase, and hurrying home to pop the prec ious bundle in the icebox lest it all turn out to be a dream. You'll also have to avoid the temptation of buying everything in sight for fear it won t be there tomorrow. ' There will be certain strange, new approaches ap-proaches in shopping. For instance, the grocer may smile at you and give you his solicitious attention. Don't think he's being flirtatious. His behavior will signal the return re-turn of something called competition, under .which merchants actually vie with one another an-other for your trade. You may hear some older shoppers say such things as, "That last steak you gave me wasn't very tender. Now give me something some-thing really nice today." Don't worry, the man behind the counter won't harm her. He won't even talk back. He may even say he's sorry. That's the way things used to be. A lot of other things may seem strange at first, too. But don't let your new-found freedom go to your head. Be a lady and keep your equilibrium. And once you get the hang of peacetime shopping, we think you'll like it. At least we always did. Washinj Merry-Go-Round A Daily picture of What's "fey pgSSS Going On in National Affairs ? u. 3 tV WASHINGTON One of. the greatest econ omy-howlers in conn-ess is Representative Jed Johnson of Anadarko, Okla., who, as Democratic chairman of the sub-appropriations committee, insisted in-sisted on cutting the interior department so drastically drast-ically that its officials can scarcely, make a longdistance long-distance phone call. Congressman Johnson, however, seems to be lieve in economy chiefly as applied to others. When it comes to a little trip .to Alaska at the tax-payers expense, he is not so economy-minded Johnson was appointed last winter to be Judge of the customs court in New York City, a job which pays him $10,000 and a fat pension for life. He has been officially confirmed by the senate, and New York customs court officials long have been waiting for the Oklahoma solon to take -his job. However, Jed is in no hurry. Not only did he sit out the current session of congress, but he is taking one last fling, at the taxpayer's expense before donning judicial robes. He and his sub-committee on interior department appropriations appropri-ations are now in Alaska on a so-called "inspec tion ' trip. Tne sub-committee includes Congressmen Congress-men Mike Kirwan of Younstown, O.. John Rooney of Brooklyn, N. Y., Ben Jensen of Exira, la., and Henry Oworshak of Burley, Idaho. CONGRESSMAN LOVE ALASKA President Truman has cricked down on congressional con-gressional junkets when taken free in army planes, but Jed Johnson has got around this. His committee traveled to Alaska On "official business" and congress is footing the. bill. In fact, there is a lot of official business up) in Alaska uiis summer. A total of three congressional congres-sional committees is enjoying -the cooling breezes, the fine fishing, and the lovely scenery of Alaska. congressman Hugh Peterson of Alley. Ga.. is going to. Alaska in style. Petejspn is chairman of the house territories committee, and la taking with Mrs. Peterson, their son. Hugh; Jr., and their niece Sue Smith Peterson. They are going by boat llong with 11 other congressmen; some, members -- of the territories committee; some, members of the public roads committee. ' The congressmen scheduled for the Alaska junket includes: J. Will Robinson of Prove, Utah, chairman of the roads committee; Jennings Randolph Ran-dolph of Elkins. W.

Congressmen?; Henry Larcade Jr. of Opelousas, La., and James Geelan of New Haven, Ha-ven, Conn., got a head start, along with Harden Peterson of Lakeland, Fla., by stopping in Texas and California to inspect beach erosion as mem bers of the rivers and harbors committee. After this, they headed for the cooling breezes of Alaska. Why the three committees couldn't pool their efforts, instead of all taking up valuable travel space, is a question to be answered only by con gress.

Today many Germans consequently have a twisted conception of their own nation's culture cul-ture and a complete ignorance of that of softie other nations. All of which lends sense to Fabien Sevitzky's proposal that the occupying occu-pying powers appoint an international board of psychologists, psychiatrists and musicians music-ians to apply "musical therapy" in assisting Lrermany s return to national sanity. Mr. Sevitzky, conductor of the Indianapolis Indianapo-lis symphony orchestra, told a press conference confer-ence in New York that he favored a 20-year supervision of Germany's music as part of the re-education program. He would not ape the Nazis by banning certain composers. But he would restore great music of all races and nationalitiessome of which the Germans have not heard in years and rescue German music from the Nazis phony political connotations. con-notations. He would have the Germans "sing for con struction, not destruction," and "listen to opera as entertainment, not national poli tics istrator.

"It is . apparent that much of our soap is being shipped overseas, over-seas, but unless it is going to our armed forces our civilians should be given preference to civilians in foreign lands," Landis said in a statement.

Through normal trade channels these spares will find their way through garages war-weary war-weary jallopies .and keep them rolling Hill the new models are ready. This is obviously the right time for these sales. The sale of auto parts is fairly simple for they can be used as is. But some of the surplus war ma terials have no known civilian use in their present form. To study how these materials may te con verted into consumer goods a "bureau of pioduct research for altered use" will be set up soon. Already there are a few examples of what necessity can invent. Such things as aluminum sheet and tub ing. welding equipment, rivet guns,- and drill motors have been converted into lawn chairs, poultry poul-try brooders, home heating units, electric hot plates. Gas masks have been made into goggles .and the hose used for bicycle handlebar grips.
