Young England Does His Bit
An important problem arising out of the necessity for British women
engaging in the various services is being solved through use of creches
Hnd day nurseries. Children_are given scientific care at 25 cents a day,
of which the state pays one quarter. Here, a child, hardly more than
an infant, makes his own bed.
This Week In
Defense
Navy asked Congress to grant naval
commanders authority to "take what
ever steps they deem necessary
for proper protection of the naval
forces" in the U S territorial wa
ters.
Navy Secretary Knox announced

training regular and reserve enlist

000 enlisted men will be petty of
ficers by July 1. The Navy also an

Harvard to train 400 college grad
uates as supply officers.
Air
The President asked Congress for
an additional $2,790,000,000 for
planes for the Army and $529,000,000
for planes for the Navy. The War De
partment announced that construc
tion of new Air Corps schools is
"proceeding much faster than ex
pected." with eight of 100 stations
already completed and 50 partially
occupied. Some of the fields, the de
partment said, were completed in
three months.
The Air Corps announced that ex
aminations of applicants for flying
cadet appointments who have not
had two years of college have been
changed to include seven instead of
nine subjects, with two of the sub
jects elective.
Pilots for Britain
War Secretary Stimson announced
arrangement to train 8,000 RAF pi
lots. bombardiers and navigators in
U. S. civilian and Army schools. The
U. S. will defray some of the cost
from lease-lend funds. Mr Stimson
said the program would not inter
fere with U S. pilot training.
Ships
The Maritime Commission award
ed contracts for 123 additional mer
chant vessels. To date, the commis
sion said, 850 ships have been or
dered?312 emergency vessels, 85
cargo ships for private concerns,
72 tankers and 60 ships on British
contracts. The commission said the
first of the emergency ships will be
completed by November, a month
ahead of schedule.
Congress voted the President au
thority to requisition foreign ships in
U. S. ports.
Materials
A sample campaign to test effect
iveness of scrap material collection
by the public is being conducted in
Richmond. Va., and Madison, Wis.,
under the direction of local defense
councils If the campaign is success
ful, the OPM said, it may be made
nation-wide. In the meantime, citi
zens in other areas were asked to re
frain from similar campaigns.

told the National Nutrition Confer
ence for Defense "at least three
fourths of us" do not have satisfac
tory diets He said "we need to con
sume twice as much green vegetables
and fruit, 70 per cent more toma

Man Slightly Injured In
Anlotnobila W rack Sunday
Bert Gilmore. Durham man, was
slightly bruised last Sunday morn
ing when his old model car went out
of control and plunged into Collie
Swamp between Robersonville and
Everetts on Highway No. 64. A tire
blew out, causing the driver to lose
control.

more eggs. 15 per cent more butter,
20 per cent more milk."
Surgeon General Parran of the
Public Health Service recommend
ed the following minimum daily diet,
one pint of milk for an adult and
more for a child, at least one serving
of meat, one egg or substitute, two
green vegetables, two fruits rich in
vitamin C. bread and cereal, butter
or oleomargerine, and "other foods
to satisfy the appetite."
Prices
Leon Henderson, Price Control
Administrator, reported that al
though industrial production is now
almo&t 35 per cent higher than in
1929. the cost of living has risen only
about three per cent and wholesale
prices only about seven per cent in
the past year, considerably less than
during the comparable period of the
World War
He said leading oil companies in
New England and middle-Atlantic
areas have agreed not to increase
gasoline prices "substantially" unless
basic cost conditions change. He an
nounced a ceiling will soon be placed
on cowAhide prices. He requested pro
ducers of ammonium sulfate used as
fertilizer to continue prices at the
present level because there is no jus
tification for an increase.
THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
Motorists traveled through an
other week in this county with
out the loss of human life or in
jury to limb. The property dam
age reported in one accident was
minor. Three of the four columns
in the accident record hold a
slight advantage over the fig
ures for a corresponding period
in 1940 Possibly the gain call
ed for a little extra effort on the
part of the motorists, but the
gain is worth all that effort and
more.

trend: first, by corresponding
weeks in this year and last and
