SPINS IN AIR THRILL SOLDIER
Youth Writes From California
(Editor’s Note: The following
letter was written, by A-S Ear]
Wayne Jones, who was recentlv
,{transferred from Goodfellow Field,
Angelo, to Santa Maria, Calif.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
L.c^nes).
' t^B-t received your letter and I
thought I would drop you a couple
or three lines as I have just a few
minutes off now. I just got off the
flying line. I got in 41 minutes to-
day. That makes me a total of
three hours and 22 minutes. Had
lots of fun up there today. We did
three spins; he did one, and I just
sat there and took everything in.
In the second one I followed him
and in the third one, I
- st did'-^vhat he told me and did
one by myself. It was fun.
We also did a bunch of stalls.
He gave me a real ride afterward;
we dived down on pulleys and
everything he could think of. It is
great. He calls them the “confi-
dence manovers.’’ It won’t be long
until I solo, about six more hours.
There is not much more time
until I fall out for drill, so I must
close, but I am thinking of you
all the time. Lots of love and kiss-
es.
Love,
Earl.

Honor Roll
1 Proclamation
On January 1, 1942, twenty-six Governments signed the Dec-
laration of the United Nations. They pledged support to the
principles of th<? Atlantic Charter of International Freedom. They
pledged their full resources — military and economic — against
those Axis nations with which they were at war. They pledged
never to sign a separate armistice or peace with the enemy.
To pay tribute to the unconquerable determination of the
twenty-six United Nations — to give the citizens of this com-
munity an opportunity to express their conviction that the
^spiiit of freedom will never die, and that our couse will be vie-
torious — to express our confidence in the sincerity, the gallantry
and the mutual respect of the United Nations whether thev
are now on the battle-lines, whether their lands are temporarily
under the heels of Axis tyranny, or whether they serve by sup-
plying the vital materials of war.
As Mayor of Olney, I hereby proclaim June 14, 1942, Flag Day
and I ask all citizens to cooperate with the Flag Day Commit-
tee in carrying out a fitting observance of this day. I ask the
people of Olney to display the flag of the Unteid States as well
as the flags of other United Nations which may be in their pos-
session. I ask for full participation in all ceremonies which may
■be held in this community so that the world will know that
Americans stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies in the un-
determination to fight until victory is ours.
Signed: Bernard Lunn,
Mayor of Olney.

"Tomorrow and Tomorrow"
Tomorrow and tomorrow
Stretch forward to the sun—
A new day ever dawning
For every day that’s done.
The dawn of a tomorrow
Is challenge to the mind,
A chance to win to victory
And leave defeat behind.
Tomorrow—
How infinite the way
That lies for just the taking—
Though you have lost today.
—Helen Howland Prommel
in New York Times.

LIBERTY LIMERICKS:
Possible Methods of F ixing
Top Retail Prices Given
Due to an apparent confusion*
among retail merchants regarding
the fixing of ceiling prices, infor-
mation is being printed here ex-
plaining five possible methods of
price determination as outlined by
the TootlerCampbell Dry Goods
Company, wholesalers, of Omaha,
Neb.
As a further aid to merchants,
a city-wide price clinic for all
managers and employees will be
held tonight (Thursday) at 8:30
o’clock at the City Hall. At that
time, there will be a complete dis-
cussion regarding ceiling prices and
information concerning proper
records that must be kept. Mer-
chants will be urged to participate
fully in the program before federal
inspectors arrive here about July 1.
The following five methods are
listed in order of preference. Mer-
Wool Auction
Is Postponed
The wool market which was
scheduled here Wednesday was
postponed after a Washington re-
port that the government is con-
sidering removal of tariff on lm-
pored items related to war indus-
tries.
Causing a pessimistic outlocK
among buyers, the report has de-
moralized the wool market. It was
pointed out that should the tariff
be lifted, large imports of Aus-
tralian wool would be brought to
this country in return of ships sent
to the continent and loaded with
war munitions and supplies en
route.
^chants cannot use one method, if
the preceding one applies.
Mehod 1: Use the highest price
at which, the article was delivered
to a customer in March. You can’t
use a price charged in March if
deliyery wasn’t made until April.
You can use a price charged in
February if delivery made in
March. Delivery counts.
Example: A garment marked at
$1.00 during March but sold and
delivered all month at 89c, your
ceiling price is 89c, even if other
stores sold exactly the same item
at $1.00.
Method 2: Pricing an article I
which you did not sell in March
but which you regularly offered
from stock that month, use your
highest March offering price.
Example: An article offered for
