YOUR LIBRARY By D??i Kuth Carli Rrtiuntl Ubrurian No; very Ionic smo. someone made the .statement to me that poet *ur planning sort of left thrm cold. It seemed to be Just knitting'* for not too busy groups In all communities such as the "Society for the Betterment of So ! and So How many of us have] criticized government work pro- 1 grams in the days when such were mvevsary. Unless we become act-j uall.v Interested in Past-War Plan-1 nit?" we shall have no right to cri ! ; k j/e any measures which may lx* n, . . ajv following the war. The United States Department of Commerce has issued a bulle tin Community Action for Post war Jobs and Profits". You may borrow tiw library copy. I)on*t be fooled by the word ?post-war*. Private business must be ready to provide productive jobs when the war Is over, not at some vague later date." nr. J. R.

Here are five things btttlnm | mm can do in your community : First is tlw work pile plan This in essentially a summary of the new jobs which the grocer, tiru;: Kist. lawyer anil ot!ur busim-.v. men know they will have to of fer. Second u a survey of manufac I turinc opportunities which your j community could reasonably . v 1 pcct to attract after the war. The third suggestion is for com mtmitirs with a greatly swollen I I population. It is ? plan whereb ! ! businessmen working through their chamber of commerce ?>i other business organizations can makt an estimate of the size of the problem the community will face at the end of the war. and | take certain definite steps now to prepare to meet that problem when it arises The fourth suggestion relatin : j directly to post war problems i< .? | simple program to urge consum ers. n-tailers. wholesalers, bankers m:.nuf .icturers. and businessmen I generally to build reserves of idea an I money for the post-war pe- j riodD Tli fifth suggestion is roj ?rtngthen present business in your town." ' Here are some tested questions ?o help you uncover opportunities ? strengthen the professional and business services available in your town : 1 Are there enough of those iti your town: ambulances, barber shops, banks, beauty parlors, day nurseries, dentists, doctors, tailors, and laundries? 2 Does your town have mod ern and adequate hospitals? 3 Are the utility services ade quate electric power, telegraph, water, etc.? 4 Are Rood repair services available for: autos. electric ap pliances. farm equipment, shoe?? 5 -Do banks give adequate ser vice on business loans, crop loans, investment advice? 6 ?Are there plenty of pood public eating places? 7.? Are stores attractive? 8.? Is there any place mothers can leave children while shop ping?** "List advantages and attrac tions which your town has to of fer industries ? natural resources, power, labor supply, nearby mar kets. transportation facilities." This bulletin suggests that fam ilies write service men about plans which are being made by the com munity. This would certainly be a moral builder. " Have your own shelf of public works so that when Federal. State, or city funds are available for this work there will be no misguided projects in your area? just solid substantial, needed work. Don't blame civic leaders if they spend money on ill-advised projects in your area for lack of better ideas." RANGER Pvt. John Kilpatrick. who is stationed at Camp Rucker.

These include the green stamps in Book Four. Town And Farm In V/ artime WI'A Krtraaes Canned foods Approximately 2.790.000 casts j < f canned peaches, peas, and to | rriato catsup were released to con timers recenilv by the War Pbod | Administration. The canned goods | probably will not reach retail' i -helves for several weeks. These A) . were a portion of tin* rcM*rv es I'ttw-d and held by canners to m ? t p ib'c emergency rcQUire nunis. of the government. K?*duce Octane In Gas Premium pasoline used by civil ;nns will be reduced from 78 and 8P-octane to 76-octane 'o conserve i ?etructhyl lead air.i volatile gaso ine fractions, both of which ar? i couirrd in the manufacture of [ hi'-'h cctanc military gasoline.1 M re than 50 million gallons of' asolim fuel oils, lubricant and "'her petroleum products i*re so- : ; directly to the fighting forces j very day. the Petroleum Adminis- , ?Kit ion for War disclosed One third of all gasoline produced in! lT S. is now required for mil | navy purposes. Plenty Of Turkeys The civilian turkey supply, just Parting to come on the market, will be almost as large as last year, according to the Department of Agriculture. However, this year's demand will probably be much lamer and shoppers will be wise to put in orders oarly. Men and women on duty in the American armed forces, at home and abroad, will be served a pound of turkey I at dinner Thanksniving Day and! will have all the traditional "fix in's." V-Mail C hristmas Presents Relatives and friends still have tiirte to send men and women overseas V-mail notices of war bond Rifts for Christmas. The Army Postal Service has assured delivery by December 25 of all V- 1 mail notices sent before December 1. War bonds as Christmas Rifts will help to hold down inflation ary buying of scarce merchandise, and will be a financial cushion for the service man or woman up ->n return to civilian life, the Trea sury Department added. Raise Hamburger Point Value The ration point value of ham burger has been increased from -even to eight points per pound. OPA has also broadened its defi nition of hamburger to include ad ditional meatier cuts of the lower grades of beef. Increase Civilian Food Supply More peas, beans, rice, and Cheddar cheese are going to be available for civilian consumption. Supplies have been incrased by the removal or reduction of govern ment. set-aside orders. Present conditions indicate there will be enough dry beans to provide about 10.4 pounds per capita for civilian consumption in the 1943-44 mar keting season, compared to 8.6 pounds in 1942-43. Tire Situation Tightens Operators of passenger cars may find it impossible to obtain used tires because commercial ve hicles delivering essential goods are now eligible to receive used passenger and truck tires of sizes smaller than 7.50-20 to rcplace tires no longer serviceable. Novem ber quotas recently released by OPA for new passenger and truck tires show 30 percent fewer for trucks and 14 percent fewer for1 passenger cars. No More Issue Of Books One Or Two No more copies of War Ration Books One or Two can be issued by local rationing boards for any purpose whatsoever. All stamps in the two books have expired except Stamp 18 in Book One. for shoes, and blue stamps X. Y. and Z in Book Two. which may be used to buy processed foods through Nov ember 20. OPA said the covers of the two books may be thrown away when the stamps have been tised or have expired. Asks Cooperation On Coal Situation Consumers and dealers have i been urged to cooperate in an ef- i fo* to alleviate suffering in homes and public institutions, j which may be without coal. "Con sumers who have any coal or ur gently requested to refrain from ordering more while their neigh bors may be without any." Harold b. Ickes. Solid Fuels Administra i tor for War. said recently. Retail ! coal dealers have been asked to I check the fuel supply of their cus 1 tomers to discover where the need I for coal is mast, acute. Dealers in I communities where coal has been short and where the weather has j turned cold have been directed to get in touch with the area distri bution manager of the Solid Fuels Administration so the limited a mount of coal may be distributed where most needed. IUUon-1'rcfi Children's Shoes Some relief from the shortage >f youngstei .. shoes will be provid ed about the first of the year by n new supply of children's non It at her shoes for general wear, to be sold ration-free. OPA has Announced. In general, children tip u? about eizht years of age will benefit. The shoes will have can vas uppers and soes made from remnants and heavy woven fabric, riinforced with vulcanized rubber Shoes of this type larger than misses' and youtlis* size three will be rationed I'nsalted Butter Price Down Maximum prices of unsalted butter have been reduced by x* of a rent a pound, which means di rec* savings to consumers. Otlier chanr.es mad* by OPA in the price regulation for butter will act to end inflationary pressures which had arisen. Unsalted butter previ ously had a premium over salt ed butter. Revise I.iniit On Farm Construction The limit on farm construction, including residential, has been placed at $11,000 under a revision of Order L-41 by WPB. Previous ly. there were separate limits, farm residences not being consid ered part of the farm unit. CCC WHEAT LOANS Ix>ans on 103.877.754 bushels of 1943 wheat, totally $130,509. 475 72. have been made by the Commodity Credit Corporation through October 23 1943. The av erage amount advanced was $1.26 per bushel, which includes some transportation charges. Soft Wheat Prices Set Sales of soft wheat by produc ers and all other distributors in 34 states east of the Rocky Moun tains have been placed under ceil- 1 ings rjy OPA The maximum price 1 established al Chicago and St ! Louis is $1 04 a bushel. Prices at i other terminal markets are: Kan IM City $1 BIViS Evansvillc. Iini $1.69- ^ : Cincinnati. Ohio. $168 Louisville. Ky . $1 68' ?: Bal timore.

Maxi mum service charge by a commis sion man is set at 1 'j cents a bushel. Plane Production Reaches New High Production of all types of air craft reached a new high of 8.362 planes in October, including the largest number of heavy bombers ever produced in a single month. ii was announced recently. Country Grain Elevators Exempt Country Train elevator estab lishments which employ not more than eight individuals now are ex 1 empt from applying for War La bor Board approval of wage and salary increases, even if the estab lishments are part of a chain ' which employs a total of mor<5 ? than eight, according to WLB. Piekle Prices I'p Quart jars of pickles will cost about one cent more since OPA has put maximum prices on all pickles 'except fresh cucumber pickles) and picalilli. The regula tion applies to sales by all per. j sons except whole.salers and re j tailers. Wagon wholesalers are in ; eluded, however. Cut New Car Quota Only 20.600 new passenger au | tomobiles have been released for 1 rationing during November. OPA has announced. This is the lowest figure since rationing began and represents a reduction of nearly 35 percent from the October quota ??f 30 800. Sign llumr Front lMrUgr More than 12 million pledges have been signed during OPA Home Front Plrdif campaign the cltUena' battle to kill black markets ar%d hold the line against higher prices In Minneso: i. so many rural families si<:ntd the pledge Uint the district OPA of i f?<*e ran out of forms, and had to stipulate that one member sign | for the entire family. When the j supply ran low in Evansville. Jnd . newspapers printed the pledge so j the campaign could carry on Sim ilarly In West Virginia. 1 030 000 : pledge scrolls were printed with ; out charge to relieve a shortage. I Newspapers in San Francisco and Wenatchee. Wash likewise print - ' ed thv> pledge form. Ceramic Stove Model liuilt The first ceramic cooking stove I model to be built in the U. S. was recently demonstrated at the Na lional Bureau of Standards. The stove contains only 80 pounds of metal .mostly cast iron. The pre war all metal model which It sup plants weighed 1 085 pounds. The ceramic stove is designed to be healed with anthracite or coke. It I uses only about 10 pounds of fuei j in -4 hours and if it is fired every 12 hours, it will be ready for use at any time It Is expected that j the firs*, ceramic cooking stoves will reach the market around the first of the year. The purcliase price has not been determined yet. but it presumably will be lower than that of the all-metal ones. Under the present set up. our armed forces Ret 13 percent of 1943*8 food: civilian. 75 percent: i Lend - Lease. 10 percent: and ; friendly neighbors, two percent. WFA points out that farmers can - tve money and at the same time make a substantial contribu tion to the war effort by buying htelirr analysis fertilizers.

A- way j down South in Dixie" f HERE'S a new tune in the air in our J Southland these days. And it's sweet music tc the ears of America's fighting men. You hear it in the vibrant roar of great Southern mills and factories . . . You heai it in the ceaseless clatter of Southern shipyards .. You hear it in the busy hum rising from Southern farms and forests and mines... You hear it in the deep voice of powerful Southern Railway locomotives and in the endless rumble of the Southern's freight trains. It's the song of the South today... the hustling, wartime Southland, served by the Southern Railway System and dedicated, above all else, to speeding the day of final Victory. And after the war is won, this great and growing Southland will turn to the rich, rewarding tasks of Peace. Then, new and better products will come from modern Southern industries. Then, new wonders will spring from Southern research laboratories. Then, Southern forests and farmlands, mills and mines, will bustle with peacetime activity. Then, the men and women of the Southern Railway System will make good use of the lessons they're learning under the pressures of war. . .to speed the peacetime commerce of ~ the Greater South to an eager world... from "A-way down South in Dixie."
