Town And Farm In Wartime HERSHEY SHOWS ORDER OF INDUCTION “The selection of men needed for the armed forces and the de ferment of men required for ag riculture, war production and war supporting activities are much more difficult than in the days when we had ample men to choose from,” said Major General Lewis B. Hershey, director of selective service, in a recent letter to local boards. He said available men will be called for induction in the fol lowing order: (1) single men without dependents; (2) single men with collateral dependents; (3) married men without children; (4) men with children (nondefer rable activities and occupations; (5) men with children. DROPS BOMBS — GATHERS CORN When the B-24 Liberator bomb er, “Lemon Drop.” of the U. S. Army Ninth Air force came back from its mission of bombing Ru manian oil refineries at Ploesti, corn stalks were clinging to its bomb bay doors. The bombardier, Captain Herbert Light, Ames, la., observed: “Why, back in Iowa you’d have to fly 25 feet off the ground to get above the corn tops. No risks involved in that. But when you’re heading for a target in the Rumanian oil and corn country, you’ve got to tear along about six feet off the ground to skim the corn tops.” SOME BOOTS ARE RaTION FREE Certain kinds of rubber boots useful in farming and similar work but no longer being manufactured for general use have been releas ed from rationing by a recent OPA amendment. All olive drab, clay or khaki colored rubber boots, all over-the-shoe rubber boots, and all light-weight ankle-fitting rub ber boots which depend upon stretch at the ankle for fitting are included in the order. However, quantities will be small because dealers do not have complete stocks on hand. TO HELP YOU GET TRUCK TIRES If you own a truck and have tire rationing certificates but can not locate the proper tires within your county, you may apply to the nearest Motor Transport Dis trict Office of the Office of De fense Transportation for assist ance, the ODT has reported. PRICE SUPPORT FOR SWEET POTATOES To encourage farmers to cure and store as much as possible of this year’s expected crop of 81 million bushels of sweet potatoes, farmers will be assured a mini mum of $1.50 per bushel for U.S. No. 1 or better cured sweet pota toes properly packed in bushel crates, baskets or hampers and offered during January, and $1.65 per bushel beginning February 1, 1944. Prices of U. S. sweet po tatoes containing not less than 75 per cent No. 1 quality will be 15 cents per bushel less than the above prices. Farmers desiring information concerning the hand ling of sweet potatoes are request ed to get in touch with their state or county agricultural war boards. PEACE TO REPAY FOR LEND LEASE “The Congress in passing and extending the Lend-Lease Act made it plain that the United States wants no new war debts to jeopardize the coming peace,” President Roosevelt declared in his letter transmitting to Con gress the eleventh report on Lend Lease operations for the period ending July 31, 1943. “Victory and a secure peace,” the President ad ded, “are the only coin in which we can be repaid.” “STANDING ROOM ONLY” ON TRAINS If you are planning to take a trip over Labor day, you probably will have to stand in the aisles, ODT officials say. Passenger trains throughout the U. S. continue to run heavily loaded with standing in the aisles occurring frequently on some trains, particularly at week ends. BETTER RUBBER FOR RECAPS Rationing restrictions on the use of Grade “C” camelback for recapping have been removed, ac cording to OPA. Grade “A” camel back, previously available for only the largest truck and bus tires, may now be obtained for recap ping tires on all trucks and buses although it is still subject to ra tioning. WAR-USEFUL JOBS NEED 2,600,000 Between now and next July, “a rock-bottom minimum of 2,600,000; persons” must transfer to war useful jobs, according to Paul V. McNutt, chairman of the War Manpower commission. “There are acute shortages of laundry workers, teachers, nurses, doctors, bus and delivery drivers and oth ers whose services are needed by civilians,” Mr. McNutt said. The War Manpower commission advis es those in doubt about the war usefulness of their jobs to con sult the U. S. Employment Serv ice.
