The turkey embargo had been in effect since August 2 to make it possible for the U. S. armed forces to purchase 12 million pounds of turkeys in time for shipment over seas, and to obtain part of the re quirements for the forces here at home. Overseas requirements have been met in full and a good share of domestic military needs have been assured. The entire turkey notds of the armed forces, totaling approxi mately I!5 million pounds, represent less than 10 i'roent of the total V. S. supply.

In responding promptly to the Army's call, thiy have helped to assure turkey dinners on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, for our men and women serving overseas.
