Subject for the week is “Hous JAPS Starts On Page On* bor unions further marked accele ration of Japan’s new liberal movement—which thus far has been markedly socialistic. No group, ’ thus far, champions a capitalistic democracy. One MacArthur directive gave the imperial government permis sion to produce textiles, certain metals, leather goods and trucks, i and to process raw rubber under j specific restrictions laid down by him previously. APPROVES METALS It approved requests for the use of 18.000 tons of steel, 6,000 tons of aluminum, 10,000 tons of elec tric wire, 10,000 metric tons oi leather and 6,000 tons of raw rub ber. ! Requests for an additional 10.00C metric tons of leather and anoth er 10,000 tons of raw rubber were denied. MacArthur approved the manu , facture of motor trucks, but de nied the Japanese permission tc produce passenger vehicles. Manufacture of textiles was ap proved porvided they contained "no raw silk, silk yam, silk thread or silk mixture woven goods.” On the agircutlural front, the newspaper Mainichi reported that allied headquarters had approved the use of idle airfields for farm ing to help alleviate food short ages. It said the government re quested the conversion of fields I not being used by the occupation forces into plots for sweet pota toes and other commodities. MUST BE SUBMITTED MacArthur told the imperial government that any request for reopening the stock exchange or any similar institution must be i submitted to him with detailed plans. Dome! reported yesterday that the government was considering a wholesale reorganization of the Bank of Japan. A few days ago, a Tokyo newspaper reported that the bank’s notes had increased 13,000,000,000 yen since the Aug. 15 truce. It warned that the in crease threatened further infla tion. Japan’s Domei agency reported today that the war pared Nippon's total shipping bottoms from 6, 300,000 to 1,500,000 gross tons. It estimated that only 300 vessels with an aggregate 580,000 gross tons are available now. The newspaper Asahi reported that 31,000 Japanese merchant seamen were killed, missing or wounded in the war and said this; "conservative” preliminary figure was “bound to increase." I Prayer Band Calvary Prayer band will meet Saturday night at 8 o'clock with Miss Louise Kiser at 412 Martin street. Come In For A Demonstration HAVE YOU REGISTERED? IT'S HERE —SEE IT AUTOMATIC HOME LAUNDRY i. PHONE 788 SHELBY, N. C. CITY PREPARES TO CHANGE TIME Shelby, along with the rest of 1 the country, will go back to Stand ard time next Sunday morning at 2 am. War time will be no more. So far as.can be learned, most business, professional, education al, industrial and other activities will, after the above date and hour, be operated on the same by the-clock time as before. That applies to railroad schedules, too. That is to say, church will start at 11 o’clock after the change Just as it did before, but then it will be Eastern Standard time instead of Eastern JVar time. The hours will be the same, but by the sun the time for everything will be an hour later. Rev. W. P. Biggerstaff, presi dent of the ministerial association, called attention to churchgoers to the change in time. "The hours will be the same,” he said, "that is 11 o'clock, but by Eastern time instead of War time." He said that he feared there may be some con fusion and made the statement to try to avoid that. "People who have been going to church or Sunday school should go at the same hours by the clock after the turnback,” he added. Some even ing meetings will be set half an hour earlier, but individual an nouncements will be made in such instances. Persons going to bed Saturday night by War time will get an ex tra hour’s sleep by getting up at their customary hour Sunday morning, since the clocks go back at 2 a.m. Sunday morning. And don’t forget to turn back the family clock an hour Saturday night when you go to bed—unless ; you want to get up at 2 a.m. to do that or be an hour early for Sun day engagements. | Agricultural Foundation Receives Gift RALEIGH, Sept. 38 —<yp>— The North Carolina Peed Manufactur ers Association has presented a contribution of *36,408.53, the larg est single gift to date, to the agricultural foundation, an organi zation to promote agricultural re search and training at N.
