PLENTY OF ANTI-FREEZE The nation’s motorists are being oversold on anti-freeze and told of shortages that do not exist, ac cording to the War Production Board. Production of alcohol anti freeze for this winter is 50 per cent more than last, WPB said, and asked motorists to watch their own needs and not to overload. Alcohol from which antifreeze is made is a critical war material. ITEMS NO LONGER RATIONED Pressure cookers and feed grind ers and crushers have been re moved from rationing. Because the supply of pressure cookers will not meet all uses, the ap proval of the War Food Adminis tration is necessary for purchases of pressure cookers for other than j food preservation uses. Applica-! tion should be made to the direc-l tor, Office of Materials and Facili ties, War Food Administration, Washington, D. C. TIRE, TUBE SUPPLY STILL LOW Tire and tube quotas for Janu-j ary reflect the continuing shortage, j The quota of 276,629 new truck tires is 13,890 less than the De cember figure, and the quota of 230,400 new truck tubes is 27,787 under the December figure. Simi larly, a lessening in demand which usually occurs during the colder months accounts for lower Janu ary quotas for farm tractor and farm implement tires and tubes. The tires quota is 27,600—lower by 4,600 than the December fig ure, while the January tube quota is 23,000—lower by 9,200. CHEDDAR CHEESE FOR CIVILIANS Civilians will continue to Receive about 30 million pounds a month of cheddar cheese although manu facturers are required to set aside 30 percent of their output during January and February to meet war requirements. In addition to Ched dar cheese, civilians receive al most all of the other types of cheese produced, bringing their total supply to about 45 million pounds a month. RELEASE PEACHES TO CIVILIANS Approximately 750,000 cases of canned peaches, previously set aside for government purchase, have been released for civilian supplies and will reach some re tail markets within a few weeks. TO GET MORE CHILDREN’S WEAR To insure sufficient production of infants’ and children’s wear, the industry has been included by the War Manpower Commission in its list of essential activities. Also, WPB has ordered approximately 18 million yards of cotton fabrics set aside for the manufacture of certain specified items of infants’ and children’s clothing. Worsted and cotton yarn will be allocated for manufacture of knitted outer wear and infants’ ribbed longhose, half socks, and anklets. Such goods will not arrive on retail counters until February and March.
