To day we are moving at constantly quicken ing speed along the only sure .highway to victory—the hard and rocky road of self sacrifice. There’s not a one of the whole 130,000.- 000 of us, probably—man, woman or child —who won’t have carried some part of the burden of this war before it is over, before the Japanese are slapped back onto their own inlands and disarmed, before Hitler and his stooge Mussolini and their follow ers—willing and unwilling—have been been made harmless. Expressed in terms of cold cash, the huge 1942 program for tanks and guns and planes and ships will cost more than S400 for every citizen of the.se United States. So far the crisis in materials needed for this vast production program has been re flected chiefly in the nation’.s auto .sales rooms and auto supply stores. So far it's been primarily a matter of cars and tires. But already other changes arc on their way, changes which will be reflected in ■he products displayed on the shelves of radesmen in thousands of towns and vil- ages when present stocks are exhausted. cans to many articles customarily found at the five and dime stores; s© with restric tions on the use of lead for civilian pur poses. The lead order, effective April 1, will even be felt in the undertaking business— no more lead may be used in caskets or in casket hardware. No more lead, either, for automobile body solder, for ballast or keels of pleasure boats, for foil or orna mental glass or regalia or badges or em blems. Nor for statuary and art goods, toys, tennis court markers Lead may not be used in bats (as weights), or in clocks, decoys, dresses, golf clubs and jockey sad dles. America’s force of war workers must be doubled or trebled to meet the Victory production program and women mu8,t play a larger part in war industry, says Sidney Hillman, OEM’s Associate Director . ..

Almost simultaneously with the disclosure of the N. E. I. com mand that the email Tarakan garrison had been overrun by the vastly superior forces and that only a tragic few of its men had reached the Borneo mainland alive, it was established that the Dutch had meant business when they warned the enemy that it would be easier to come for the island's riches than to take them away.

(Released throug’i Regional Information Office, Office for Einengency Management, 10 South 5tu .Sir,el, Richmond, Viiginia) Borrowed Comment The vital need for more and more alco- t iol to make explosives is going to change he formula of lots of things on your drug- tore shelves. Not things you need when rou’re ill, but things like toothpaste, and J ! lerfume, and a great many cosmetic pro- lucts. The Office of'Production Manage ment has ruled that no more alcohol may le used in the manufacture of such pro- lucts after April 1. To date, despite tremendous lend-lease lipments to Britain, there hasn’t been any leal shortage in any food.stuff. Nearest ap- Voach to a shortage is in sugar, because luch sugar is made of cane, and sugar lane molasses has been largely used to lake alcohol. The 0PM has ordered di.^;- |llers equipped to make alcohol from corn r grain to use these materials exclusively. At the .same time the Office of Price Ad- linistration ordered an upward adjust- lent in the price ceiling above refined and Iher “direct consumption'’sugars, a maxi- !um price advance of 20 cents a 100 ounds. This isn’t expected to have any iimediate effect on retail prices, because ■tailers now are selling sugar acquired at twer prices. When pre.sent .stocks are e.x- austed. howevei, retailers will have to ay higher wholesale prices to replenish leir supplies. The OPM suggests a variety of ways in hich dairy operators and milk distribu- ffg may overcome shortages. Dairymen ai’t buy new trucks for home deliveries, it they are urged to repair old equip- ent, just as the farmer has been urged i^have his old farm machinery repaired. |j?M suggests that deliveries be made rery other day and that duplication in BlW pickup routes be avoided in order to piserve rubber and machinery and, inci- W«tly, gasoline. Containers are going HONORING HANK (Winston-Salem Journal) Hank (dri?enberg, renowned Detroit Ti ger outfielder, is no Sergeant York, because, he has had no opjiortunity to capture a ne.st of machine gunners singlehanded But the sporting world rates him as a “swell guy’’ whose patriotism and courage are not wanting and he has been singled out by the New York chapter of the Base ball Writers Association for special recog nition at the organization’s annual dinner in F'ebruary. Greenberg deserves recognition on two counts. When the Selective Service called Hank’s number he responded without a murmer at a time when many men of lesser importance, minor executives in small firms, were pleading or persuading others to plead in their behalf that they were nece.ssary to their firms and that they could not be replaced. While baseball can not bo considered nece.s.sary to the coun try, Greenberg was nece.ssary to baseball. His salary was larger than the President’s. Entering the .service was a tremendous ■aci’ifice for Greenberg, not only because he was making big money, but because a ball player must capitalize on his youth. He has only a few yeai’s in which he can hope to keep in the game. Hank is at his peak now. A few years out of the game can mean the ruin of his career. But that is not all the' story. After Pearl Harbor, Hank, who had been released from his unit, because of the 28-year age limit, announced that he would rejoin the Army at once and that he was “througt with baseball for the duration.” If the military forces of the United States were filled with men of Hank Greenberg’s caliber we would feel that the “outfield” would be ably covered.
