ROOMING HOUSES AND HOTELS WILL BE NEXT TO FILE RENT RATES For the first time in this country’s history, Federal control of rents for housing accommodations came into operation in many parts of this country. Pursuant to the Emergency Price Control Act 323, Defense Rental Areas were designated. The South Bend Defense-Rental Area, comprising St. Joseph and Elkhart counties in their entireties, is one of the designated areas. The Director for the Administration of the Act in this Area is Carl L. Hibberd. His offices are located at 106 West Monroe St., South. Bend, Ind. ' 4 Sfhe Rent regulations apply to all housing accommodations. They do not apply to commercial or industrial properties. The first step in the administration of the Act and Regulations was the registering of all housing accommodations by the landlords. All landlords were required to register before midnight, July 15, 1942, each dwelling unit rented by them and extension of time, within which to register, was not granted. The failure to register constitutes a violation of the Regulations, and carries severe penalties. The second step in the administration of this Act is to provide the landlord and tenant, where justified, the proper means to file petitions for adjustments of rent. Forms for this purpose are available at the Area Office and must be filed in duplicate. Mr. Hibbard says: “Many landlords have the mistaken idea that if they believe the rent for their property, as of April 1, 1941, is lower than that being received for comparable housing accommodations on that date, that they are entitled to secure relief by filing a petition for adjustment. This is erroneous. The only grounds on which petitions for adjustment may be entertained, and relief granted, are those set forth in the Regulations. Hotels and Rooming Houses A separate registration will be made of all hotels and rooming houses in the Area. While registration has not commenced, those coming within this Regulation have until August 15, 1942 to register. Complete information relative to this registration will be announced shortly. However, the Act becomes effective for hotels and rooming houses on July 1, 1942, and these rents cannot exceed the rent being charged on the freezing date, April 1, 1941. The main difference between the Hotel and Rooming House Regulations and the general housing Regulations, is that in the case of Rooming Houses and Hotels, the Maximum rents are established at the highest rent for each term or number of occupants for which' the particular room was being rented during the thirty-day period prior to skpril 1, 1941. In other words, the highest rent collected or asked during the month of March, 1941 shall be the maximum rent for a particular room, whether the term of occupancy be daily, weekly, or monthly. In order that all interested parties may -secure careful consideration of their particular problem, Mr. Hibbarad urges that all questions for interpretations be submitted in writing and addressed to him at 106 West Monroe street, South Bend, Ind.

KIWANIANS ENJOY STILL AND MOTION PICTURES OF KIWANIS INTERNATIONAL Dr. L. M. .Slabaugh, president of the Nappanee Kiwanis club, and a delegate to the Kiwanis International held recently in Cleveland, Ohio, took many colored pictures, both in still and movies and on Monday these were thrown on the screen to give members of the local club an idea of the mammoth convention held this year. Following the pictures Roy S. Ruckman, also a delegate to the convention, gave a talk on the business side of the convention, which was interesting and confirming he offered a suggestion as to some things which might be done in the Indiana district to promote closer relationship between the 78 service clubs at the International, showing how, in his opinion, the same close spirit of friendship and fellowship could be developed in an International as enjoyed in the district conventions. Secretary John Coppes read a communication from Eordney Clements, of the Michigan district, urging attendance from every club in divisions one and two of Indiana at the inter-district meeting to be. held at the Hotel Elkhart in August. Golf, bowling, cards and games of various kinds will be held in the afte*rpoon and dinner will be served at 6:30. Fish Change Colors Perhaps fish don’t think', but some of them change their color to resemble the hue of the water they have been confined in, much to the consternation of fishermen. The report of the bureau of fisheries lists minnows, sticklebacks and trout as among the species able to camouflage their appearances.

LEGION POSTS TO SALVAGE OLD RECORDS Legion Maps Campaign for Collection of Old Phonograph Records to Be Made Into New Ones. The American Legion and its Auxiliary, working in cooperation with a group of nationally eminent musical artists, has mapped plans for a nationwide door-to--door canvass of old phonograph records as a means of providing new records and a permanent supply of good music to men of the armed forces for the duration. The canvass is known as “Records For Our Fighting Men.” The campaign, beginning July 17 and extending through August 2, has as its goal the collection and salvaging of 37,500,000 old records by American Legion Posts, Auxiliary Units, Forty and Eight Voitures and Sons of the Legion Squadrons. Proceeds from the disposal of the old records as scrap will be used in purchasing new discs and phonograph players, to be sent to every camp, base, post and station wherever there are Americans in uniform. A non-profit agency, Records For Our Fighting Men, Inc., was organized early in June by Kay Kyser, Kate Smith, Fritz Reiner, Sigmund Spaeth and Gene Autry, acting as the original incorporators. Someone hundred outstanding instrumentalists, orchestra conductors, bandleaders, and singers have pledged their support. Following the formation of the new agency, the national organa ization of The American Legion, assisted by the Legion Auxiliary, offered to provide full assistance in mobilizing, canvassing and collection operations. Through Lynn U. Stambaugh, National Commander, the Executive Committee of the Legion agreed to undertake the drive, throwing all the resources of the organization behind a nationwide house-to-house salvage campaign. The 11,829 posts of The American Legion and its 9,414 Auxiliary units are now mapping plans for two-week drives in local centers. Each community will have its quota. Instead of asking for funds, the Legionnaires and their co-workers will call on neighbors to scour attics and cellars for old phonograph records. Records For Our .Fighting Men authorities are confident that the collection of 37,500,000 old records, to be sold as scrap, will assure the funds for the purchase of a steady flow of new records and the supplying of phonograph players to the entire armed forces, in every American training center and battle station in the world. A committee of celebrated musical artists will select the records to be sent to the various armed units.

NAPPANEE CAMPAIGN Commander Edward S. Strope, of the Nappanee Post American Legion, states the work of collecting old records in Nappanee will be carried on by a special committee named for that pur-1 pose. Lester Weber is the chairman and he will be assisted by Sam Sharp and Harley Geyer of the post and Mrs. M. E. Hostetter and Mrs. Donald Roose for the Ladies Auxiliary. Every person in Nappanee with old records, regardless of their condition, is asked to bring them to the Geyer garage, the Pletcher garage or the Hatfield & Hostetter store on Friday of this week or any day thereafter up to and including August 2nd. As the records will be remelted and made into new ones it makes no difference if they are cracked or even broken. It is the material that is needed and if the’Legion and Auxiliary will furnish this the radio stars and others will see to it their talent is placed upon the new records and the government will then take care of shipment to the many army and navy posts for use by the soldiers and sailors. Many homes have hundreds of these old records which with the advent of the radio have been discarded. Now is the time to unearth those records and put them to good use. MRS. ROY PITTMAN OF GOSHEN IS A GRANDMOTHER AT 34 Mrs. Roy Pittman of Goshen is a happy grandmother at the early age of 34. Her daughter, Mrs. Dean Taylor, of Elkhart, formerly Annabelle Pittman, of Goshen, became the mother of a daughter, Vicky Lynn, at the Elkhart General hospital Saturday morning.

The Author Thinks Operators Are Wonderful • • • • We Think You’ll Agree With Him

So the irate subscriber slammed the switch hook up and down and when the operator answered, he bellowed: “What in the sam hill is the matter with you? I asked for 2597 and .you gave me 2857. You ought to be fired!” I know what I’d have told him. I’d have said: “Listen here you big bully. I’m not even the same operator that took your call in the first place, and besides that you talk through your nose and it takes a mind reader to tell whether you are saying five or nine. For all I care you can take a taxi to that party you want to talk to!” The operator didn’t say that though. She said: “I’m sorry sir. I’ll try again. What number did you want?” The difference is that I’m not an operator. Operators seem to be made of a little finer stuff than most of us other human beings. They have to be. Being human, I expect that operators do practice a little inward cussing now and then. But their voice is the voice with a smile. Their job is to help people to talk with one another, no matter what or why or when or how. A lot of things are needed to provide telephone service. Miles of wire stretch high over roads and fields. More miles of cable run under the ground. The telephone exchange is a maze of wires, cords, relays, lights. But, for the best telephone service, for all this multitude of apparatus and lines of wire to serve best, under varying conditions, human intelligence and Understanding is necessary. That’s where the operators come in.

While the above editorial is a reprint and not an original composition, we feel that it niust surely be accepted as the truth by those of us who pause.long enough to face realities. Respectfully submitted by LaMar Stoops, Mgr. Nappanee Telephone Company

Many times their work is not easy. Many times they do more than is required of them. Is it in an operator’s contract to stick to her switchboard with flood waters raging, when everybody with any sense has long since fled? Is it an operator’s duty to investigate a lighted lamp on her board when nobody answers —to determine the residence number—to call the house next door— to call the police—and* perhaps save a life? Is it an operator’s assigned task to go half crazy looking for and doctor even when she knows there is none available? Is it an operator’s job to turn sleuth and try to find a man with a red beard who sells snake serum? No, these are extras. These are thrown in for good measure. Hundreds of such cases are published m newspapers every yeat Operators have a code all their own. They are not'just a bunch at girls who get paid 'for completing connections at a switchboard. No< by a long shot. Each and every one is a self-appointed knight in armor. I don’t know whether they’re made that way or whether it’s a tradition that becomes a part of a girl after she’s worn out a few pairs a£ switchboard cords. All I know is that it is wonderfuL That these girls work with their brains and their hands is not enough. They work with their hearts too.
