Nelson, America’s war production again recognized the value of advertising in the war effort. that the war is in the bag,’’ Nelson has urged business to pur chase more war message advertising. Already millions of inches of white space have been div erted by business from commodity advertising to spur the wa: effort. And both in their neWws columns and _ editorially néwspapers themselves have contributed incalculably to win ning the war. terests or publishers unresponsive. Their cooperation in allay tion is proven and assured. GAS FOR VACATIONING WAR WORKERS sorts. duction line. divert facilities from. war to vacation traffic. gasoline allotments, however short the distance. : Those who should know insist that there is no current shortage of gasoline in California. Inventories show an all time rubber consumed on brief vacation trips may be a wise expenditure when measured against the increased production possible from a rested war worker. TRICTLY BUSINESS Organized to direct the most ambitious farm production effort in the country’s history, more than 50 Food Industry . Advisory Committees have been set up in the War Food Administation. ‘The prgram involves planting 380 million acres in 1944 and a continued high production of meat, eggs, and dairy products. It compares with 364 million acres planted this year and 377 million acres in 1942. The wheat goal for next year has been set at 68 million acres which represents a 26 per cent increase over this year. Tn addition, a plan is being studied that calls for the creation of a United Nations food production agency that would mobilize and coordinate the agricultural resources of all the allied countries. 6 '. Executives of the WFA have stressed that they are not concerned in any way with business reforms; that they are solely concerned with problems of wartime food production and distribution and not with disturbing or changing established business practices or economic policies. : PRIDE IN ACCOMPLISHMENT American war workers should get the same homey feeling from seeing the names of American-made planes and war equipment used in our historic invasion of Sicily as they would from seeing pictures and names of any familiar object of their daily lives in the public press. Spectacular actions such as the Italian invasion, furnish a drmatic opportunity for proving to the man on the assembly line, on the bench, or in the shop turning out what he considets an insignificant bolt or nut, the importance of his job. It should make everyone connected in any way with the amazing achievements of this country’s industrial machine proud of his or her part in the war effort. Invasions cannot be expected every day, nor can sweep-! ing victories. In the course of a war, any kind of news is possible. But glorious feats of our armies should be borne in mind always, as a sort of reservoir of good faith and pride in the accomplishments of ‘our combined forces. year. About one half million of these professional organizations of teachfers, an estimated 400,000 children in 25,000 classrooms will have no teachers at all, or will attend school in greatly abbreviated terms next year. The teacher shortage, while confined largely to those areas of the ‘United States classified by the census bureau as rural, is not restyicted to any geographical area. Reports from all states are discouragingly similar. The State Department of Education in Wisconsin,’ reports that the demand for teachers exceeds the supply by 2,251. Of these, 1,016. positions are in rural schools, and unle’s the teachers are obtained between now and September, nearly that number of classrooms will not be open to students of that state next fall. “The teacher market,” says an educational leader of Wiseonsin, ‘‘has passed from the acute to the alarming stage and threatens to become desperate by September.” The situation ‘‘retion, “sit in classrobms over. quires drastic measures to meet ai which hese only partially qualified unprecedented: emergency.”’ WASHINGTON, D. C.—Aug. 2.— “Thousands of schools will not open their doors this fall. Most of them are located in the open country and willages of the nation. During the last school year in an effort to prevent schools from closing before the end of the term, school authorities issued 38,736 emergency certificates. These were given to men and women willing to undertake teaching but who lacked the qualifications required for normal certification. ‘More than a million children in e sehdols of the nation, according the National Education Associachief, . ° Alarmed by “‘a false and dangerously premature feeling . the ing the feeling of complacency and in stimulating war. producVacationing war workers in California and other western states should be given similar consideration by Washington.

U.S. MERCHANT SEAMAN BEST FED IN WORLD The American merchant seaman is the best-fed sailor in the world. He has to bother very little with! ration books—in fact most of them don’t even apply for them unless taking prolonged: shore leave. The only rationing is done on the ships themselves in purchase of the food and supplies which is computed on the basis of’ the number of men aboard and the length of the voyage. For example each man gets one-fifth pound of sugar per day, one-seventh pound of coffee, one and one-third pounds of meat plus onethird pounds of fats and oils. & Over and above that, each man receives an emergency allowance of 20 per cent over the total, less such stores as may be aboard the vessel at the time she is ready to sail.The prolonged voyage’ enforced upon the freighers by global warfare has made victualing of ships very difficult for the commissary departments of the steamship companes. To conserve space and to insure the crew that the supplies will last, a system has been devised for boning all meat before the vessel sails. All the fish is also boned. Enough fresh vegetables for two months of a voyage can be stored; after that canned varieties are used. The high excellence of food and other supplies is offered Americans wous and hazardous: duties they undertake in delivering the goods to. our troops; according to the Ameri-. can Merchant Marine Institute.

POPULATION OF AFRICA CAN BEDOUBLED LOS ANGELES, Aug 2.— ‘Africa with its total population of 150,000,000 people can supply twice as many, Here may be solved the problems of race, with black and white men living in the same area, sharing the resources of the continent with a minimum of strife.” _So writes Dr. Frank J K.lingberg,
professor of history on the Los Angeles campus of the University of California, in a newly published monograph. The Rise of the Negro in Africa. “Africa is a continent in no way menaced. by overpopulation,” says Dr. Klingberg. “(Not fewer, but more Negroes are needed there. The Negro population of Africa is now stationary, in contrast with Asia’s increase of from 15,000,000 to 20,000,000 a year. Asiatic white relationship may produce war, but, that of Africa is in the framework of peace.”’ Bogus Check Writer Out Of Jail, In Again Leslie G.
