56 BILLION FOR
CIVILE AN NEEDS
It will take about 56 billion dol
lars worth of goods and services
to maintain the civilian needs of j
this country on a minimum or |
bedrock basis, according to J. L. i
Werner. Office of Civilian Supply
of WPB. That 56 billion figure is
32 percent less than the value of
poods and services used in 1941
NO PRICE RISE
Prices of tomatoes, peas, snap
beans, and sweet corn are not
likely to be higher this yea:- than
last, because of the U. S. Dept.
of Agriculture's program of price
support Growers of these four
major canning crops will get
prices substantially above those
of last year, through Govern
ment price control bu* these
prices will not be passed on to the
consumer This is part of the
program to stabilize the cost of
living
Although minimum prices are
specified by states, lor the coun
try as a whole minimum prices to
be paid to growers, contrasted to
the actual prices paid in 1942. are
tomatoes. $24.25 per ton com
pared with $19 37. green peas.
$81.50 per ton compared with
$63.93. sweet corn. $18 a ton com

srrPORT MILLFEEDS PRICE
Prices of millfeeds will be sup
ported by the Commodity Credit
Corporation to flour millers at
$1.50 per ton below the OPA ceil
ings This is par: of the USDA's
effort to prevent a rise in flour
and break prices to the consumer,
and to encourage increased pro
duction of livestock by keeping
supply of millfeeds available.
PROTECTS AGAINST FORGERS
The United States Secret Serv
ice has turned its big guns
against the forger of Government
checks in a drive to protect, par
ticularly. men in the aimed for
ces. The USSS has successfully
checked counterfeiting reducing
losses from bad money by 59 per
cent in 1942. Losses have been
cut 93 percent in five years. Per
sons receiving Government checks
from boys in the armed services,
or others, are urged to take every
precaution against pilfering of
their mail.
ADD 3 PERCENT TAX
The 3 percent freight tax im
posed Nov. 1. 1942. may be added
to delivered prices by processors
of animal product feedstuffs. ac
cording to OPA. Prices of such
feeds are held to a rigid maxi
mum under Price Regulation No.

SOLDIERS FAMILY
ALLOWANCE
If a soldier's family is not get
ting their allowance under the
Servicemen's Dependents Allow

soldier has failed to file a formal
application for it. Many soldiers
declared their intention to file
such an application last summer
- before application blanks were
available ? but have not filed the
j actual application. The official

ADVISE COMPLETING
EDUCATION
"It is advisable." said a recent
statement of the War Manpower
Commission, "that young people
have the fullest possible opportu
nity consistent with the war ef
fort to complete their education.
Those with special aptitudes and
capacity for further training
should continue their education
in order to develop their maxi
mum abilities applicable to war
and post-war neeas.
Youths uneta* 18 can best help
the wa reffort t-y continuing in
i school the WMC said. Many of
1 them will have to replace per
sons who have gone into war
work, but youths should enter the
labor force only with adequate
safeguards for their health and
welfare, present and future.
STOP RISE IN CLOTHING
PRICES
It is evident that rise in cloth- ;
ing prices was effectively stopped
by the General Maximum Prior
Retaliation. Prices of all Kinds of
clothing rose 25.8 percent between
spring of 1941 and May. 1942.
Prices were then established as
j of March, which not only halted
price rises, but actually lowered ,
some prices. At the end of Dec..
1942. clothing prices averaged .2
percent lower than prices before j
j th eO.M.P.R. went nito effect.
