JOBS FOR DISCHARGED
VETERANS
For men discharged from any of
the United States armed services, a
summary of job opportunities in 114
major industrial centers will be plac

ployment Service office, the War
Manpower Commission announces.
These job summaries give informa

of work, hourly wage rates, avail
ability of housing, cost of living, and
the adequacy of community facilities
such as schools, hospitals, and trans
portation. The summary will be re

By JOHN CRADDOCK
New York. April 17 With over
100,000 service men being discharged
monthly from the arned forces, in
dustry and local communities are
showing . real progress in helping
veterans get back their old jobs and
into the groove of civilian life. The
present Selective Service Act pro
vides that upon completion of mili
tary service, employees are to be re
stored to former positions or to posi
tions of like seniority, status and
pay unless an employer's circum
stances have so changed that it is im
possible or unreasonable for him to
do so. This much is law. However,
many communities and business con
cerns, anxious to do as much for vet
erans as possible, are giving addition
al personal aid.
In various leading industrial com
panies this aid often takes the form
of correspondence with the men while,
they are in the service, placement ac
cording to tested ability and physical
condition, refresher training and !
orientation classes, and periodic in
terviews concerning progress after I

The average cost of a quart of

United States is 15.1 cents. The
average cost of other foods

of the nutrients needed daily is
about 44 cents. Rising food costs
together with the necessity of
maintaining the best possible
wartime diets are now giving
added emphasis to the economy

used as a basis for this chart

MARITIME COMMISSION
REPORTS
Maritime Comm;ssion sbinvards
ROOM FOR MORE The Truman
Committee of the Senate recently
found that Pullman space, which
every one knows is being given the
most intense use in history, is still
not being fully utilized. This may sur
prise travelers who have seen the
heavy passenger loads the trains aie
moving today, but the Committee's
findings have now been corroborated
by The Pullman Company itself. The

Weight tons during the first quarter
of 1944, the commission announced.
Liberty ships continued to dominate
production but there was a growing
tonnage of military and other fast
type vessels, including the new Vic
tory ship. In March, 152 merchant
ships were built.
ROUND - UP
The War Food Administration
says: The public should consume
more eggs, at least through mid-May.
to take care of an anticipated record
production amounting to at least 350
eggs for each civilian during 1944 . .
About 70 per cent of the 1944-45 sup
ply of dehyrated vegetables will he
allocated to U. S. war uses, 23 per
cent to Great Britain and Russia, 5
per Cent to U. S. civilians, 1 per cent
to liberated areas and 1 per cent for
other exports.
WPB says that: A "farm" is a
property used primarily for the rais
ing of crops, livestock, dairy prod
ucts, poultry, etc., for market, and on
such property $1,000 or less may be
spent for construction, including the
farm house, without approval . , . .
In view of the continued critical
shortage of pulpwood for paper and
paperboard, farmers, as well as every
full-time woodcutter, should continue
to cut as much pulpwood as possible
, . . . Some electric alarm clocks and
1,200,000 war alarm clocks (many for
military needs) will be produced and
distributed during the second quarter
ef 1944 ... A cut of 10 per cent in
civilian leather for shoe repairs and
IS per cent for new shoes has been
made for 1944 . . . Production of cut
lery made of stainless steel has been
permitted and products should be
available at retail counters in three
or four months.
OPA says that: Consumers buying
meat directly from farmers may con
tinue to use the red stamps, A8 thru
M8, plus the next 18 stamps in Book
Four . . . The Over-all 1944 retail
prices of " early onions will be some

the current "going" prices . . . The

reserved space were more effectively
made by ticket holders, "several hun
dred thousand additional passengers
per year" might be carried1!
A substantial number of accommo
dations are going unoccupied because
thousands of travelers who fail to
make trips at the last minute either
do not cancel their reservations or do
not do so early enough to permit re
sale of the space.
"In 1940, when Pullman delivered
a little more than eight billion pas
senger miles, it would have been con
sidered unbelievable that with practi
cally no additional equipment we
would be able to deliver 26 billion
passenger miles in 1943," a company
spokesman says. "And yet although
Pullman is already far beyond theo
retical capacity limits estimated scv-
TRE-HARVEST PREPAREDNESS
Farmers w-ho will need between 45
and 60 million more wooden contain
ers for their 1944 crops than they
used last year are being urged by
the nation's leading buyer of fresh
fruits and vegetables to begin accu
mulating used containers or run the
risk of not getting their produce to
market at harvest time. Harvey A.
Baum, head of the Great Atlantic
and Pacific Tea Company's produce
buying operations, tells us that many
mills, hit by lumber an-i labor short
age, have abandoned container manu
facture. Meanwhile, growers are
striving to meet government demands
for an acreage increase of 10 per
cent. He advises farmers to build
used container stockpiles, distribu
tors to intensify their salvage ef
forts, retailers to exercise greater
care in opening containers, and con
sumers to return to dealers all boxes
and baskets used for home deliveries.
Only such cooperation can relieve the
shortage caused by heavy military
demands and growing civilian needs
for lumber.
the United States as the 9,118 which
rolled off assembly lines last month,
C. E. Wilson, vice chairman of the
War Production Board, indicated re
cently. The peak is believed to have
been reached because production will
be concentrated more on heavy fight
ing planes and bombers and less on
the light training ships.

SHOOTING ENGINES Shotgun
shells which "shoot" engines into
starting are now being substituted
for storage batteries to start air
plane motors during testing. The
shotshell, fired electrically by an in
genious fuse assembly located in the
head of the shell, starts the motor
with a single powerful impulse. This
new use for the humble shotshell has
just been revealed by the Winchester
Repeating Arms division of the West

manufacturing cartridges of this
special type.

In Exodus 12 we read the instruo-
tions given to Israel concerning the
first Passover. It is here the idea of
the Church first appears. It was a
house entered through a door which
had the blood of an unblemished
Iamb sprinkled on the lintel and on
the two side posts.
The hyssop of repentance and faith
had applied the blood. There is no
condemnation to those who are in
such a house, sheltered by the blood.
What was inside this house? First,
the roasted lamb. It was an unbroken
lamb. This means the Church needs
the whole Christ - divine, yet human;
human, yet divine. The lamb was
roasted with fire, "which typified
Christ passing through the holy fire
of the wrath of God against our sin.
The blood of Christ is over the door
for protection. The person of Christ
is the feast for those inside.
Second, unleavened bread was
there. This means separation from
all evil, in doctrine, in behavior, and
in one's associations.
Third, bitter herbs were there. This
refers to self-judgment; no self ad
miration or self-adultation, but a
humble estimate of oneself.
How did those inside the house ap-
