According to Chas. B. Eckfeld,chairman of the Tuscola CountyUSDA War Board, the board hasrecently appointed a County FarmTransportation Committee for Tus-cola County. On Oct. 22, 23 and24, the dates designated as Nation-al Farm Truck Eegistration Days,this committee will be available toassist farmers who own trucks andtruckers who haul farm productsfrom farms and supplies to farmsin executing applications for "Cer-tificates of War Necessity" whichall trucks must obtain before Nov.15.

"Certificates of War Necessity"aim to confine truck operations tothose which are necessary to thewar effort or to essential domes-tic requirements, and to make themost possible use out of eachtruck. To this end, the certificateswill set the maximum mileage andthe minimum loads for each truckor vehicle for which a certificate isissued.
Application blanks are now beingmailed by the ODT to all truckowners and any truck owner whodoes not receive one before theregistration days may obtain oneby writing to the nearest ODT of-fice. In Michigan these offices arelocated at Cadillac, Saginaw, De-troit, Lansing and Grand Rapids.

On Sunday, Mrs. Geo. Seegerentertained at a dinner in honor ofthe 84th birthday of her mother,Mrs. Richard Hartwick, who makesher home with the Seegers.
Guests at the dinner were Mr.and Mrs. Charles Klinkman andtwo sons and Jerry Seeger ofDearborn, Mr. and Mrs. E. G.Smith and grandson of St. ClairShores, Mrs. Cora Stauble of WestBranch, Mr. and Mrs. Fred McCas-lin, Mrs. Ray McCaslin and son,Tommy, and Jackie McCaslin ofRochester, Andrew Barnes, Jr., ofWayne and Mr. and Mrs. DonaldSeeger.
The table was very pretty withbouquets of cut flowers and atiered birthday cake. The honorguest received many gifts.
Mrs. Hartwick, the former EllaPixley, was born at Franklinville,N. Y., Oct. 11, 1858, and came toMichigan in July of 1881. Shewas married to Richard Hartwicklater that same year, and theymoved to a farm in GreenleafTownship where they resided untilthe death of Mr. Hartwick on Apr.23, 1940. Since that time, Mrs!Hartwick has made her home withher daughter, Mrs. Seeger.
Mrs. Hartwick is very smart andkeeps busy most of the time. Whennot helping with the work aboutthe house, she is sewing or doingfancy work. She has crocheted anumber of beautiful table covers aswell as other pieces of late.
Three proposals will appear onthe November ballots in Michigan,
The first proposal authorizes theholding of a state convention todraft a new constitution. The re-vised charter would be submittedto the people for approval or dis-
j approval. When the same propo-sition appeared on ballots in No-vember, 1926, it was defeated abouttwo to one.
Proposal No. 2 is a constitutionalamendment to permit home rule
j for Wayne County substituting a19-member county commission forthe present board of supervisors
j which numbers well over 100. Moreabout this later.
Proposal No. 3 is a referendumon the milk marketing act.
Last July this column quoted theviews of Stanley M. Powell, execu-tive of the Michigan Farm Bureauand a dairy farmer near Ionia, onproposed reform in government.
At that time we offered, as in-terpretation, the following observa-tion: "Home rule for Michigan'smost metropolitan county and astate constitutional convention aretwo separate, distinct issues. Yetthey will be inevitably linked to-gether in the public mind becauseeach seeks to accomplish the samethings: Reform of local govern-ment. The Wayne County amend-ment to the state constitutionwould effect governmental reformsfor Wayne County, with the per-mission of the rest of the state.The constitutional convention wouldtackle the same need on a statebasis."
This week, in a spirit of fairplay, we present the viewpoint ofthe Citizens' Committee on HomeRule for Wayne County as givento us by Clarence E. Wilcox, chair-man. His statement follows:
"In one of your recent reviewsof state affairs, you commented onthe various questions to be sub-mitted to the people in the Novem-ber election, including ProposalNo. 2—the Wayne County . HomeRule amendment.
"You expressed the thought thatvoters in the rural sections lookwith suspicion upon -any measureemenating from Detroit or WayneCounty.
"As chairman of the State Com-mittee for Proposal No. 2, I am,of course, deeply concerned overthe attitude of the voters outsideWayne County, because the amend-

VITAMINSYou are reading about vitamins
every day, about their importancein the diet, and their effect upon thegeneral health, yet if you were to
be asked to de-scribe a vitaminyou might find itdifficult to do so. Ihave been some-what familiar withvitamins since thelast war but I alsowould have difficul-ty in defining them.
In this book "Vi-tamins," Dr. HenryBorsook, professorof biochemistry,California Institute
of Technology, says: "The fact isthat the discovery of vitaminsand of the role they play in humanhealth is the most important med-ical advance so far made in thiscentury. It has taught us what theessentials are in food. It has givenus new insights into the chemistry ofthe body. But most important, ithas given us the means of greatlyraising the standard of health andwell-being of all of us."
Everywhere we are seeing news-paper and magazine articles aboutthe value of the vitamins in cer-tain diseases. Thus, vitamin A isused in eye disease, B in neuritis,arthritis, lack of appetite, C inscurvy, D in rickets, and E in cer-tain gland deficiencies. However,while this is important, not morethan a fraction of the population issuffering with these diseases andDr. Borsook points out that evenlarger groups need vitamins al-though they have no special disease.
"The really serious problem isthat the general level of health islower than it needs to be. Defec-tive vision in dim light, most con-stipation and dyspepsia, the smallaches and pains of middle age, poorteeth, thinning bones, general fa-tigue and lack of tone—these are allvery often caused, by insufficientamounts of vitamins in our ordinarydiets over a period of many years."
How can we be sure of gettingenough vitamins for our dailyneeds?
Diet experts have worked outtables of the everyday requirementsof each vitamin for children andadults but if, in addition to our regu-lar diet of bread, potatoes and meat,we make sure every day of averageservings of dairy products—milk,butter, cheese — and green vege-tables — lettuce, spinach, cabbage,beet and carrot tops—we will get allthe vitamins we need.

Purpose of LiverAnd Gall Bladder
What may be hard to understandis why fat foods must be avoidedin liver and gall bladder disturb-ances; yet it is known that fat foodhelps to empty the gall bladderpromptly, thus preventing gall blad-der symptoms such as pain and gasformation.
While it is true that fal foods—butter, cream, bacon—help emptythe gall bladder, it requires but asmall amount of these fat foods todo this, and eating more fat foodsthan the liver can handle properlybrings about the sluggishness of liv-er and gall bladder with the usualsymptoms arising from this sluggish-ness—pain in upper right side ofabdomen, gas pressure, bloating andsometimes nausea and vomiting.
When man was created his bodywas, and still is, covered with hugemasses of muscle. These muscleswere not meant to simply carry himabout and reach for his food. Thesehuge muscles were meant to work, tohelp man hunt for food, carry bur-dens, fight or run as necessity arose.To keep these huge muscles healthy,man was meant to use them everyday. And to keep these musclesnourished man* was meant to eat allkinds of food including fat foods.
What we find, however, is thatman eats plenty of food but be-cause modern life makes it unneces-sary to work or carry burdens, thecirculation of the blood in the liveris not stimulated to action asmuch as it should be and so enoughbile is not manufactured to takecare of the fats and sugars eaten.
An active liver manufacturing bilein large quantities gives a buoyantfeeling, whereas a sluggish livermakes one discouraged or even a"quitter."
As man was meant to use hismuscles, take deep breaths and bendhis body, simple daily exercises-walking, bending, deep breathing—will stimulate the flow of bile inliver and keep gall bladder emptyingregularly.
Throw your scrap into the fight.
Q.~-Will you be so kind as to out-line for me a list of the variousstarch and fat foods?
A.—Foods rich in fat are: But-ter, oleomargarine, bacon, cheese,cream, pork, lamb, goose, salmon,vegetable oils, nuts, chocolate, co-coa, olives, pastries. Among thefoods which are rich in starch arethese: Sugar, honey, marmalade,jellies, dates, figs, raisins, choco-late, biscuits, flour, braad, pet: •/.•:;.•:?.crackers, cake, puddings.

GOLDEN TEXT—But grow in grace,and in the knowledge of our Lord andSaviour Jesus Christ.—II Peter 3:18.
Growth is a normal thing. Weexpect it of the child, and when itfails we know that something iswrong. Just so there is somethingvery decidedly wrong in the life ofthe Christian who fails to grow ingrace. If a child fails to grow weare alarmed, but if a Christian doesnot grow we hardly notice it, or atmost only express our regret. Weneed a revival.
I. Normal Children Will Grow(Luke 2:40-52).
While Christ was God manifest inthe flesh, He was at the same timetrue man, and as a boy He devel-oped and grew in a normal way.
Unless we meet the tragedy of ar-rested development we need haveno concern about the fact that achild will grow physically, mentallyand spiritually. The Lord hasplaced in the babe in a mother'sarms the potential qualities of theman or woman to come. Our chiefresponsibility is to provide the op-portunity for the development ofthose abilities and qualities whichthe child has, and of guiding thatgrowth in the right directionl
That is all a parent has to do, butit is enough to call for all the wis-dom, judgment, patience and skill ofthe best of us. Yes, and even thatis not enough, we need the wisdomof God and His grace upon our livesto do this vital work as we ought.
The qualities in a boy or girlwhich will count gloriously for Godmay be dreadfuUy effective forSatan if we permit him to get con-trol of our children. May God helpus to be alert and skillful in rearingpur boys and girls.
While it is true that we can domore for the guidance of physicaland mental growth than spiritual(because that is a matter of thegrace of God), we can lead the stepsof the little child to the house ofGod; we can teach him to prayand to trust God, and we can set an
• example of godly living before him.That is all we can do; but again wesay, it is enough to demand our besteffort and more.
II. Normal Christians Will Grow(II Pet. 1:1-8).
In Christ there are "all things thatpertain unto life and godliness."There is no need of some added ex-perience, or some new and strikingenducement, for all the unbelievablygreat possibilities of Christian graceand growth are in Him. We needonly to recognize that fact and yieldto Him, and there will be the fulldevelopment of Christian life andexperience.
We have, in practice, so far de-parted from the normal in Christianlife that we can hardly believe thatthe above is true. In place of thenormal Christian life according toGod's standard, we have establisheda standard based on the averageChristian life. If we equal it weare satisfied, and if perchance wesurpass it we count ourselves amongthe "more spiritual" ones. And allthe time the average standard isfar below the normal Christian lifewhich God not only expects, but isready to enable and empower us tolive.
Peter tells us in this passage thatthe great and precious promises ofGod in Christ are not only to enableus to escape the corruption of thissinful world, but to go on to a placewhere we will neither "be barrennor unfruitful" Christians. How willthis come about? Verses 5-7 tell us.
Faith supplies in itself (ratherthan "add to," v. 5), if there is"diligence" (that is, true Christiandevotion), a number of;! other splen-did qualities. First comes "virtue"—really moral courage, or nobilityof character. What a fine step for-ward! Then comes "knowledge,"that is, a discernment which willgive practical skill in effective dailyliving for Christ. Such spiritual dis-cernment will naturally lead to"self-control" — something muchneeded by most Christians.
The self-controlled one will alwayshave "patience," that is, the en-durance to stand every hardship andtrial. We need to be more patientnot only with others, but also withourselves, even in this matter ofChristian growth of which we arespeaking.
A life like that is a life of "godli-ness," which will blossom out intoreal "brotherly kindness." Thereisn't too much of that in the worldtoday, even among Christians. Let'srevive it! Then what? The onewho loves his brother will love thewhole world (charity, in v. 8, shouldread "love"). Why not? Are wenot all brethren, who know Christ,regardless of race, position orcreed?
Let such virtues "abound" (v. 8),and no Christian life will lack inrich fruitfulness for God in Christ.If Christian people would let the newlife within them grow, it would sur-prise us and them what God woulddo through them for His o\vn glory.

to Do.By PHYLLIS BELMONT
Is it permissible to take secondhelpings at dinner?
Answer—It is polite to refuse sec-ond helpings at a dinner party be-cause it retards the progress of themeal. However, at small familydinners where the service is infor-mal, there is no objection to havingsecond helpings.
Naturally, you would not ask yourhostess for a second helping, but youmay do this in your own home.
At fashionable formal dinners, alate comer does not begin with thefirst course, but begins with what-ever course is on the table at thetime.
A late comer does not apologize tohis hostess at once, but later, whenshe is alone, he makes his excusesbriefly.

Sometimes even the most stimu-lating dinner conversation lags sud-denly and family or guests showsigns of restlessness. Come to therescue with sit-down games.
"Twenty Questions" is an old fa-vorite which is easily adapted todining room festivities. Have oneof the diners think of some personor object and let the others try toguess what he or she is thinking of.This is done by asking questionsthat must be answered by "yes"or "no." Everyone at the table takesturns asking the questions and thewinner chooses the next object.
While everyone is still in a"thoughtful" mood, spring a foodquiz on them. Divide the group intotwo- teams and have the host readhis questions aloud. The first play-er to call out the correct answerscores a point for his team.
If the subject of the quiz is cake,for instance, you would ask: What isthe brightest cake? Sunshine; Whatis the holiest cake? Angel Food;What cake weighs the most? Pound;What cake weighs the least? Feath-er; What is the hen's cake? Layer;What cake never pays its way?Sponge; What is the fat woman'scake? Jelly roll. Sample cook booksor recipes make good prizes for thewinning team!
Here's one to play while waitingfor dinner or between courses:
Give each personK E R S M S T A a pencil and aC A R L A B E V fprinted or type-T E B C H E S I written sheet ofU L G R E A D V paper containingA C O A N M N E the square of let-K R O P S O N A ters at the left.E I S . E C A N L Beginning at anyC A P S A S B E letter in the chart
and moving (oneletter at a time) in any direction,have the players spell out the namesof foods, drinks, and seasonings.
You may use the same letters andsquares as often as necessary, andbegin a word at any point in thesquare. For example—the secondletter down in the first column isC, to its right is an A, diagonallyup to the left is a K, and right ofthe K is an E. This spells CAKE.Give an extra dessert to the onewith the longest list!
Here are a few of the words whichcan be spelled from the square:lamb, beets, beans, bacon, peas,rice, cake, pork, pecans, ham,bread, grapes, cream, veal, corn,bananas, spice, and crackers. Thereare more than 40 words; can youfind the others?
Writing poetry is good mealtimefun and won't take literary talent,either! Each, person writes a singleline of poetry, original or otherwise,on a piece of paper, folds the pa-per back a half inch to cover thewriting, and then writes the lastword of his line on the top of foenext section. Papers are then passedto the right and the next personcomposes a line ending in a wordwhich rhymes with the word that isshowing.
The papers are folded again andagain to hide the poetry and arepassed around the table. Since thepoems will be in couplets, it is onlynecessary to rhyme the even lineswith the odd lines preceding them.Thus the second line will rhyme withthe first, the fourth with the third,and so on. When eight lines havebeen written, read the poems aloud,and be prepared for a literary treat!
Family meals need never be dullor boring if you dress them up withfun and games. If you're not in amood for games, try telling storiesor jokes. Have a little family com-petition to replenish your store ofanecdotes and choose the best story-teller at the end of the month. You'llfind that this kind of fun fare isgood for the digestion, too!

HARRY F. KELLY
When Harry F. Kelly first took office as Secretary of
State, January 1, 1939, the department was obsolete
in its methods, dilatory in its service, hog-tied with
red tape! Before his first term was over, Harry F. Kelly
had streamlined the entire department, upped its
efficiency month after month, and brought its econ-
omy to a high point.
Today, the department, doing an annual business inexcess of $80,000,000, is a model of ably directedoperation. Its 9 divisions and 170 odd branchesfunction with the precision of a fine watch. It oper-ates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in its Registra-tion and Title Division to benefit the police andpublic alike.
To Harry F« Kelly, and to him alone, goes the
entire credit for this amazing transformation!
You can depend on his achieving the same high
degree of efficiency/ in all state departments,when he is elected Governor of Michigan on
November 3rd.

AMERICAIN ACTIONTHE TRENCH MORTAR
CHICAGO.—Modern war of light-ping-like thrusts by mobile infantryhas been made possible not only bystreamlined tanks and fast troop-trucks, but by the most ancientweapon of all—the humble trenchmortar.
American army authorities, infact, declare that the high, plung-ing speed of tanks and trucks wouldbe all but cancelled out and limitedto that of their heavy artillery sup-port but f,er the mortar.
This simple, portable, high-angle-of-fire weapon is used by an ar-mored spearhead or small advancedunit of infantry to demolish tanktraps and obstructions in the pathof trucks, to quiet machine gunsand light artillery, to destroy pill-boxes and small fortifications, andeven to lay down smoke screens.Without mortars, vehicles andground troops of the spearheadwould have to wait for the artilleryto arrive, thus making swift, knifingthrusts through enemy positions im-possible.
In addition to the fact that themortar is light and can be easilycarried, it is highly maneuverableand deadly accurate. A high ex-«plosive shell can be dropped on ablanket out of sight and more thana mile away.
The mortar, in addition, is a rela-tively inexpensive piece of artilleryand lends itself to quantity produc-tion. For example, an arsenal ofPullman-Standard Car Manufactur-ing company hers produced enoughmedium moriars during June to sup-ply seven armored American divi-sions over and above the plant'soriginal rate of production.
The mortar looks like an uprightsection of pipe about four feet longwhich rests on a flat base plate andis supported by a tripod. Becausethe barrel is thin, the modern weap-on is hardly, recognizable as thesame kind of gun which was usedin the American Civil war and nowfound on many county court housemonuments. The old-timers look likehuge soup kettles with iron sides 10or 12 inches thick. The thin, lightbarrels of th« modern mortar havebeen made possible by improve-ments in the quality of steeL

Serve a Salad . . . Win Your Vitamins(See Recipes Below.)
Vitamin Ways
Comes winter and fall when vege-tables and fruits are more scarce
than during sum-mer and fall, andmany a home-maker is apt tofall shy on serv-ing her familythese vital bodyregulat ing andprotective foods.
Yet, this is the time when the bodyneeds them most. These foods buildup the body's resistance to disease—and keep you, to pick a commonexample, from having a cold as soonas warm weather and sun flee.
Minerals are busy building andrepairing, replenishing body tissuesthat get torn down and used up,daily with every movement youmake. Vitamins help you use thefoods you eat.
Good-to-eat foods help the familytake in all these vital minerals andvitamins. Drab, uninteresting disheswill send them off to eating otherfoods to take the edge off their hun-ger—wherever they can put theirhands on something. I need notpoint out that in this way they mayreally be losing out on foods neces-sary to the body.
Cooking vegetables well, and do-ing pretty things to their appear-ance will help their consumptionrating. A bit of sauce or extra sea-soning will put an ordinary vegeta-ble over and at the same time in-sure your family of what it needsmost:
^Scalloped Peas and Onions.(Serves 5 to 6)
1 pound small white onions1 No. 2 can peas3 tablespoons butter3 tablespoons flour1 teaspoon salt1 cup milk3 tablespoons finely crushed
bread crumbsParboil onions 25 minutes. Drain.
Drain peas and reserve % cup pealiquor. Melt 2 ta-blespoons butter,blend in flour,salt and pepper.Add pea liquorand milk andcook until mix-ture thickens,stirring constantly. Pour into cas-serole. Melt remaining butter, stirin bread crumbs, sprinkle over cas-serole. Bake in a moderately hot(375-degree) oven for about 25 min-utes.
Lynn Says:Vital Statistics: There are
about seven inches in the Nutri-tion Yardstick which bear check-ing every day in every way soas to keep you and your familyin the'running:, The first inch includes milk: 1pint per day for every adult and1 quart for every child. Ofcourse you don't have to drinkall this milk. Use part of it incooking.
Second honors go to meat, fishor poultry, and this is not hard touse up. For lunch or dinner,whichever fits best for your fam-ily, one serving'per person shouldbe counted.
At least one egg a day or atleast four to five per week marksthe third inch. Have it for break-fast or toss it in the hot bread fordinner, or custard for lunch.
Cereal's important, too. Serveit in the breakfast, or a puddingor even cookies. Bread and rollscome under this category, also.
Fifth inch includes the vegeta-bles: two besides potatoes, oneshould be a leafy vegetable—spinach, lettuce, broccoli, ro-maine, etc.—and the other raw.Cabbage is perfect.
Now, the fruits. Two a dayisn't hard to manage. Of courseyou start off with breakfast, andthen include one for lunch or din-ner dessert.
The last and seventh inch in-cludes butter or some fat rich invitamin A. This is for fuel andenergy.

ment, although it applies to WayneCounty alone, must be submittedto the voters of the entire state.
"Our long struggle for cleangovernment in Wayne County, ascontrasted to the ugly mess ofbribery and inefficiency revealedby the county grand jury, may be'won or lost in the areas beyondWayne.
"Here is a clear issue, as wesee it, between good governmentand bad government. Must we as-sume that the fair-minded and in-telligent people living outside ofWayne County will vote on the sideaf bad government simply becauseof prejudices fixed by county lines?
"With all due respect to yourseasoned judgment and wisdom inaffairs pertaining to the state, wefeel that the voters of the otherBounties of the state will favor thisimendment when understood bythem. »
"We believe that the old preju-lice between the dweller in ruralareas and the city dweller is athing of the past. It has disap-peared, under the influences of rap-id communication, education, andother factors of progress. Coun-ties are not just parts of a whole,but we are all one. The sons anddaughters of farmers who attendour high schools and state institu-tions of higher learning, have thesame ideals, the same outlook asdo those of the big cities. Theyact alike, and think alike, and havesimilar aims.
"Place them in a situation wherethey must choose between good andbad, or right and wrong, and youwill find them on the side of thatwhich is right and good.
"If they feel they desire to helpa neighbor in distress—and wepeople of Wayne believe we are indistress under present conditions ofcounty government—their instinctwill be to reach out a helping hand,as they would expect to be helpedthemselves by us under similar cir-cumstancs.
"We have enough confidence inour neighbors of other counties tobelieve implicitly that they willconsider Proposal No. 2 on its mer-its as a measure designed to bringabout better government, and thatin so doing, they will join with thevast majority of the people ofWayne in voting 'Yes* on ProposalNo. 2 in the November election.""

WEEKLY MEWS ANALYSIS

Released by Western Newspaper Union.
ALEUTIANS:i Japs Fold Tentsj As mysteriously as they first ap-
peared, Japanese forces disappearedfrom the two westernmost Aleutianislands, • a navy communique re-vealed. The two islands abandonedwere Attu and Agattu, lying closetogether nearly 200 miles fromKiska.
Heavy bombing by American air-craft which destroyed most of theJapanese buildings on the two is-lands was cited as a reason for thewithdrawal.
The Japs still held a foothold onKiska island, but Yankee flyers madetheir tenure precarious. Army heavybombers operating from the newlyacquired American bases in the An-dreanof islands in the Aleutiansblasted Jap-held positions on Kiskain repeated raids.
The islands of Attu and Agattuwere originally seized by the Japsshortly after 'the Aleutian campaignopened last June.
A secret landing by American forces in the Andreanof group of theAleutian islands made it possible to establish an airfield from whichplanes could blast Japanese positions on Kiska island. The above photoshows American troops in a "bucket brigade" passing supplies ashorefrom a small boat.
SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:Yank Power Grows
The Japs learned a lesson aboutAmerican air and naval strength inthe Pacific when five of their shipsincluding- a heavy cruiser -were dam-aged by a U. S. aircraft carrier taskforce which pierced Nipponese de-fenses at Shortland island in thenorth Solomons. In addition, an air
, field was blasted at Bougainville,main Jap air base, and numerousaircraft destroyed.
A navy communique reported thatthe Japs were caught by surpriseand the American operation wascarried out without loss of men orequipment.
Besides the heavy cruiser, theAmerican battle score against theJap forces included one transportdamaged by heavy bombs, one sea-plane tender and two cargo shipsdamaged by light bombs.
In New Guinea, the advance ofthe tough Australian bush troopscontinued over the Owen Stanleymountains which the Japs had pene-trated weeks before.
Although craggy trails had pre-vented swift movement, the Austra-lians had cleared the enemy beforethem and had removed the threatof a Jap surge that once had piercedto within 32 miles of strategic Port.Moresby.
A communique issued by Gen.Douglas MacArthur's headquartersin Australia disclosed that the Al-lies' New Guinea advance had been.made "with practically no loss."
•*'Information from native carriers•who deserted the Jap forces plus re-ports from our own patrols, indicates"the retreating Japs were exhausted,living on short rations and badly.needing supplies," the communiquerreported.
Much of the Australian successwas said to be due to a constant*air attack on Japanese supply lines.
FARM GOALS:Boosted for 1943
A nation-wide wartime plowupfflext spring, reminiscent of the daysof 1918, loomed as the U. S. depart-ment of agriculture drew up tenta-tive production goals calling for evengreater acreages and output of mostfarm products than was requestedunder the record 1942 production.
The goals for all farm crops butthree-r-wheat, short staple cottonand commercial vegetables—wereset higher than for 1942. Corn andother feed grains, beans, peas, pea-nuts, potatoes, sugar beets, hempand vegetables for processing weregiven the green light. So were pro-duction goals for cattle, hogs, dairyproducts, poultry and eggs.
With less manpower, machineryand other facilities to operate with,farmers had their work cut out forthem. Moreover, the needs of thearmed forces and the Allies, particu-larly Russia, were said to be muchgreater than had been expected afew weeks before.
If 1943 farm goals are not reached,civilian consumers will have totighten their belts. Consumer, ra-tioning was to be inaugurated Janu-ary 1, but civilians had, already beenasked to limit meat consumption to2% pounds weekly.
A possibility remained that soon-er or later, butter, cheese, cookingfats, vegetable oils, eggs, poultryand canned fruits and vegetableswould be placed in the same catego-ry as meat.
RUSSIA:Stalingrad Checkmate
Unnoticed at the start, MarshalTimoshenko's counter offensive, be-gun far up the northern arm of theDon river in the vicinity of Klet-skaya, had moved forward. Itsobject was to draw off German strik-ing power from the Stalingrad area.
Timoshenko had struck first, in a50-mile area between the Don andVolga northwest of Stalingrad andhad extended, his forces southwest tothe German flank.
That Timoshenko's strategy-had' worked was indicated by a signifi-cant statement on the Berlin, radiowhich announced that the Germanswould abandon frontal attacks onStalingrad and destroy what was leftof the city with heavy artillery. "Itis no longer necessary to send Ger-man infantry and assault engineersinto the battle," the announcementsaid. "The finishing touches willnow be entrusted to heavy artilleryand dive bombers." .
Observers noted that the Germanannouncement was reminiscent ofpropaganda covering the Nazi with-drawal a year ago from Rostov,when the Russians gained their firstvictory of the war.
Southward, in the Caucasus theNazis had succeeded in advancingin the Mozdok area, while Rumanianreinforcements were reported push-ing southward from the German-heldBlack sea base of Novorossisk.
WAR COSTS:210 Million Daily
War costs will exceed 210 milliondollars a day by January 1, 1943,according to figures based on re-vised calculations by Budget Direc-tor Harold Smith. Mr. Smith's esti-mates placed total war spending at78 billion dollars in the current fiscalyear which will end June 30, 1943.
The budget director's upward es-timate was about 25 billions morethan President Roosevelt's figureslast January and eight billions morethan a previous calculation bySmith.
Increased expenditures for all warpurposes would make it necessaryfor the treasury to borrow approxi-mately $60,300,000,000 from the pub-lic during the current fiscal year.
LABOR:Lewis Divorces CIO
Labor leaders and politicos hadlong awaited the formal secessionof the United Mine Workers ofAmerica from the CIO. Bushy-browed UMW Chief John L. Lewiskept his own counsel, but chose adramatic moment for the divorce.The occasion was the miners' an-nual convention at Cincinnati.
Brusquely warning the delegatesthat he would no longer remain thepnion's president if it remained inthe CIO, Lewis obtained unanimousconsent to withdraw. A committeereport urging the separation chargedthe CIO with failure to pay a$1,650,000 debt to the UMW and de-nounced alleged attacks by CIO of-ficers on Lewis.
The convention action merelygave public recognition to a situa-tion that had existed for months.Lewis and Philip Murray, CIO presi-dent, were feuding after a friend-ship of years standing. Murray, aformer miner and vice president ofUMW, had been "read out" of theunion, last spring.

Hencethe new theatrical'restriction.
Headache for NazisGermany's influence in the Scan-
dinavian countries had been weak-ening. This was evident when ageneral election in Sweden had re-turned a record number of Commu-nist, anti-Nazi delegates to the na-tional assembly. It was evident,too, in frequent peace feelers fromwar-plagued Finland. Thus whenrioting and disorders broke outagainst the Axis overlords in Nor-way and Denmark, few observerswere surprised.
Swift was the Nazi action in coun-tering with force the Scandinavianthreat. The Germans proclaimed astate of emergency in central Nor-way from the seaport of Trondheimto the Swedish border. Reprisal ex-ecutions followed. Reports fromCopenhagen said tension had mount-ed to fever heat because of clashesresulting from the "overbearing andprovocative" attitude of the volun-teer pro-Nazi "Free Corps."
The Nazi radio gave official con-firmation of Scandinavian unrest byannouncing that the Norwegianemergency was proclaimed becauseof recent sabotage attempts "whichif they had succeeded would haveendangered Norway's supply sys-tem."
RUMOR MONGER:Menace Described
Americans were called upon to be-ware of rumor mongers by RobertP. Patterson, undersecretary of war.

"In the days to come Hitler willredouble his efforts to divide thenations now united against him. Inthis task he will make use of therumor mongers among us.
"His agents will spread stories inthe United States and Canada thatwill reflect on Britain. In Britain,his agents will spread the story thatAmericans are not doing their partin fighting, but are interested onlyin making money out of the war.And he will try to alienate us fromRussia."
Mr. Patterson said that produc-tion of armaments for the* Allied na-tions will cut deeper and deeper intoproduction of civilian goods and re-quire suspension of many peacetimestandards of hours and working con-ditions.
SNUB VICHY:Urges Ex-Envoy
Even as Pierre Laval imposed alabor draft/to speed the delivery of150,000 French workers for Germanwar factories, Walter Edge, formerAmerican ambassador to France,urged withdrawal of U. S. recogni-tion of the Vichy government. Suchaction, he said, would solidify 95•per cent of the French people be-hind the United Nations.
Emphasizing that he was speak-ing as a private citizen, Edge saidit was "unfortunate that the govern-ment seems to feel it necessary tocontinue recognition of the Vichyregime."
"There may be many things thatwarrant continued recognition thatI know nothing about," he declared,"but only a small percentage of theFrench people are in sympathy withthe Vichy government. It must bediscouraging to the majority to seetheir overlords recognized by thiscountry."

i of all time—demands a tremendousI increase in the production of rough,; tough fiber. In addition the average; American citizen uses almost four, pounds of hard fibers per year, orj the equivalent of 1,850 feet of bind-( er twine, or 13 feet of one-inch rope.
The minimum goal for U. S.farms is 240 million pounds ofhemp in 1943. To obtain thatmuch fiber, it will require, as-suming an average yield of 800pounds of total fiber per acre,roughly 300,000 acres of hemp.This, in turn, will require 350,000bushels of seed. To produce thisseed, assuming a yield of 10bushels per acre, will require35,000 acres.Already Kentucky farmers have
planted 36,000 of hemp as a seed.crop in anticipation of next year'srecord-breaking acreage for fiber.
Hemp is a soft fiber, but it isdurable, strong and flexible. It canbe produced successfully in Ken-tucky, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Il-linois.
Now that many of the hard* fibers used for these and other
purposes are not as, readilyavailable and cannot be. pro-
; fiuced in this climate, hemp be-comes an important war-timesubstitute for them.Hemp fiber can be used in many
ways. It can be used for • smallhawsers for the navy, which urgent-ly needs these ropes; for hamstrings, mattress twines, harness

BOWLINGA party of tourists were being
shown over the cathedral by aguide.
"Behind the altar," he told them,"lies Richard the Second. In thechurchyard outside lies Mary Queenof Scots, also Henry the Eighth. . .And who," he demanded, halting bowling mttie iabove an unmarked flagstone,do you think is a-lying 'ere?"

The 1942 American soldier ishealthier than the men' at VaUeyForge and hardier than the men atGettysburg. He is better protectedfrom disease than the men at SanJuan, and more resistant to diseasethan the men in the Argonne.
Aside from the casualties of bat-tle, he has better health and a high-er life expectancy than his com-rades in the same age group backhome.
These facts are revealed in apamphlet—"The Soldier and HisHealth," recently issued by thewomen's interests section of thewar department's bureau of publicrelations.
Translating some of the statisticsin the pamphlet to a few simple sen-tences, Private Smith's mother maymake the following comparison be-tween the health of soldiers and ci-vilians :
In civilian life—FOUR times as many civilians die
of typhoid fever.NINE times as many die of tuber-
culosis.TEN times as many die of influ-
enza.TWO and a HALF times as many
die of pneumonia.Sometimes Private Smith grum-
bles a bit about belonging to thehealthiest army in the world. He issupposed to report for "morningsick call" whenever he is the leastbit under the weather. After he hasanswered ."sick call" a few times helearns that in the army he is eithersick or well No half-way status.
This is a policy designed NOT tocoddle, but to cure.
The prompt and compulsory at-tention that is given his minor ail-ments not only makes him well, butkeeps him from making others sick.
This preventive policy may raisethe admittance rate to the hospital;but it lower! the epidemic rate; itlowers the death rate.
Private Smith, after a trip to thehospital, learns that soldiers, likeschool boys, can make a miracu-lous recovery at holiday time. Like-wise, recovery can be slow whenthe duty of the day is unpleasant!
