There is an old saying that a Jackass can stand lots of abuse, so this leaves me feeling fine, after nine months with Arabs. Gee! am I "crummy!" The more I scratch the more I itch.

The Press is informed that only one vacancy remains on the faculty roster, and it is expected that this will be filled within a day or two. This is in contrast with conditions last year at this time when four or tive vacancies remained to be filled. A change has been made in the janitorial position at the high school. Mr. Valentine resigned to accept a more lucrative job, and Elmo Gillies has been appointed to fill the vacancy. Some faculty changes have been made also, and full particulars will be published in our next issue.. We are extremely fortunate to be able to continue our schools as usual, with full faculties, despite the war conditions and our shrinking population. Let's all hope that the. war will be over before we are faced by the school problem in the fall of 1944. And let's be loyal to our home institutions and remain at home for all courses and subjects available here.

MAKE THIS PLEDGE Will Py L9l No Mors Than Top Prices Will Accept No Rational Goods Without Giving Up Ratio Stamps te Consumers and merchants of Beaver will unite in a movement to fight inflation and stamp out black markets in the Home Front which opens Pledge Campaign here next week. During the campaign every housewife in Heaver will be asked to sign the following pledge: "To do' my part on the Home Front "I will pay no more than Top Legal Prices; "I will accept no rationed goods without giving up ration stamps." Beginning Monday, August 23, 50 block leaders under the direction of Mary F. Goodwin, chairman, wil visit every home In Beaver in the campaign to give fvery housewife the opportunity to sign the Home Front Pledge. The campaign, w.uh Is sponsored by the local war price and rationing board and other community groups, is part of a national movement on the part of consumers and merchants to control prices. As the block leaders call at Beaver homes and present the Home Front Pledge for each housewife's signature, they will explain the purposes of the campaign and will distribute copies of the new community ceiling price list Just issued for this area by the state office of the OPA. The purpose of the pledge campaign, as stated on the pledge form, are; "To help to distribute rationed goods fairly; to help hold down the cost of living; to brln violations to the attention of my war price and rationing board." d "When the Home Front Pledge campaign was given its initial test in New Orleans recently, food costs for the ensuing month declined 5 per cent," said Wm. Will-dechairman of the Beaver war price and rationing board. "Local merchants will welcome the campaign for two reasons. First, because many of them are subject to unwarranted criticism on the part of customers who fail to realize that certain price increases are Justified by increasing costs and that most merchants are selling their merchandise at prices at or below the legal celling prices established by OPA. Second, because the honest merchant realizes the campaign will protect him against the unfair competition of the chiseler and the black market operator, If any exists. "Here in Beaver our retail merchants by and large are In full compliance with OPA regulations establishing price ceilings. "Block leaders are requesting the housewife to check prices carefully and if she finds that she Is being charged more than the celling price, to call the matter to the attention of the merchant. Only If the merchant refuses to comply with the celling price, Is the housewife asked to make a report to the price panel of the local war price and rationing board. The price panel investigates the report and affords the merchant an opportunity to present his side of the case. and unwilful violations usually are adjusted Immediately. Wilful violations are reported to the OPA state price office. n, cality, and the segregation of the disloyal members of colonies to a separate concentration camp In northern California, from whence they will be transported back to Japan when an opportune time arrives, Mr. Peterson said. His present trip Is for the purpose of discovering and overcoming any friction that might develop from the presence of a small Japanese population in the Western part of this county. Contrary to current rumors, the lot of the Japanese In the Topaz settlement In Millard county la not all that could be desired by the Inhabitants, Mr. Peterson explained. To begin with, the maximum salary that can be earned there is only $19.00 per month. Living quarters are very much over crowded, and only one bathtub and hot water facilities Is provided for an entire city block. Added to this is the constant fear of adverse American sentiment and possible reprisal and violence being engendered against them. "After all," Mr. Peterson stated, "America Is the only country In this war to confine American citi zens of foreign birth or ancestry In concentration camps.
