BYRNES DIRECTIVE '
SEEKS INCREASE IN
WAR PRODUCTION
(Continued from p.ige 1)
' offices.
At the beginning of 1944. the State
2nd the Nation were approaching the
highest point of production ever
reached, after^ a* rapid shift - from
.civilian, to war production. Employ
ment was about to reach its highest
point, as more and more citizens be-,
came workers in support of the war
effort. Emphasis has changed dur
ing the year* to meet the rapidly
vl anging conditions on the far-flung'
v iv fronts, to assure a steady flow
c tthe types of materials and muni
tions demanded by the armed forces
cn land, sea and in the air and on
iill battle fronts.
In North Carolina, - as elsewjnere.
'.he WMC's- Employment Stabiliza
tion Program, inaugurated in May
or last year, was in full operation,
seeking to get and keep wrokers where
tney were most needed for war and'
essential civilian production. Pro
vision was made for keeping workers
on essential jobs, and allowing them
to change jobs only when the change
if/ould benefit the war effort.
Local USES offices, in carrying out
these provisions, have made deter
minations in 368,900 cases In which
r orkers sought statements of -avail
ability ? authority to change jobs ?
during 1944. Appeals from decisions
in - these determinations were heard
ey Local Appeals Panels, appeals
from which were heard by the State
Management-Labor Committee, ther)
by the Regional Committee, and on to
tne National Management-Labor
Policy Committee. Roughly, approx
imately five percent of vthe cases at
each level were appealed to the next
higher level.
As of July 1, 1944, the Priority
Referral Plan. was adopted on a na-(
tion-wide basis. Under it, workers
"were referred to jobs on the basis and
in the order of their relative impor
tance to tiie war effort. A State-wide
plan was adopted for North Caro
lina and two State committees were
, tormed, the Production Urgency
Committee and the Manpower Prior-'
sty Committee, with identical mem
bership. These committees, indivi
dually. and jointly, established;
urgency ratings and employment ceil
irgs for all North Carolina establish
ments.
During 1944, approximately 1.680,
000 visit?, a number equivalent to
almost 'half the population of the
State, were made to local USES of
fices in the State. Of these about
1.80. 000 were routed by the recep
tionist to other office personal lor
additional service.
. Of the visiting - workers seeking
jobs; -including those., sent in for
referral by the manpower recruiting
officers operating ?? throughout the
State during the year, 36*5.600 were
referred td local non-agricultural
I jobs, and of that number. 296,300,
or 81.8 percent of the total, were
re!' erred to e>sential or locaily needed
1 jobs.
| iMifcement.^ on non-agricultural jobs
were verified in 252.300 cases, of
which 210.250, or 83.3 percent, were,
.n essential jobs. In addition, local
USES offices in '1944 made placement
? >.- ist-perl'ormed some, -.but not all of
t ie steps in - placing workers in
79.800 local non-agricultural jobs, of
hich 58,600, or 73.4 percent were in
essential or locally needed activities.
Clearance placements, those in which
the workers were transferred from
one local office area to another within
tne State, included 22,700 in the offices
?n which the job seekers had applied
for work, and 9,620 in the offices in
which the employers had given orders
lot- the workers. (Figures used in the
four paragraphs above are actual
for 1 1 months and are estimated for
December only.)

Sequoia Potato In
Fight For Top Spot
J
The Sequoia, an Irish potato bred*
by the Agricultural Experiment. Sta
tion at Stale College, is replacing old
established varieties of potatoes in the
Florida area and is battling for first
pJace with the Sebago, another vari
ety with an Indian name, say reports
from the Sunshine State.
Both are light-skinned potatoes.
The skin of the Sebago is clean while
the Sequoia has russet patches. The
latter potato is more subject to late
blight than is the Sebago but the yields
c i both varieties are good.
The Sequoia has received wide ac
claim since it was first introduced
just a few years ago in experimental
plantings.- This variety is now be
ing widely planted in -Maine, the
Middle .West, California. Hawaii, and
i:j Australia.
The Sequoia gives exceptionally
high yields and excellent quality po
tatoes in the Mountain and Central
portions of North Carolina but the
crop develops a little too late in East
ern Carolina to get the potatoes on
the early market.

PULPWOOD SHORTAGE ACUTE
One of the most needed materials
right now is pulpwood. Vast con
voys loaded with all kinds of
supplies must go quickly to Mac
Arthur's men. All of this material
calls for double packaging to pro
tect it during the long ocean voyage
and under tropical jungle condi
" Hons. Mililaiy demands for pulp
wood are higher than ever before.
BACK MacARTHUR
While MacArthur and his men are ?
fighting their way foot by foot
through the Philippinespyou can
help them by cutting every cord of
pulpwood you possibly can. Don't
let their task be harder because
they lack ammunition, food or
medical supplies.

Nature designed the kidneys to do K
marvelous job. Their task is to keep tbe\
flowing blood stream free of an excess of>
toxic impurities. The act of living ? lift
itself ? is constantly producing waste
matter the kidneys feast remove from
the blood if good heath is to endure.
When the kidneys fail to function as
Nature intended, there is retention of
^aste that may cause body-wide dis
tress. One may suffer nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes feel tired, nervous, all
worn out.
Frequent, scanty or burning passages
are sometimes further evidence of kid
