And ‘they've upped the state’s food nearly fifty per cent. consequence, California from such an acute atttack troo» consumption As a suffering of growing pains that the state’s continued all out participation in the effort is seriously threatened, practical steps are’ speedily taken to relieve the situation! Boiled down that is what the Senaite Committee on E2onomic Planning—-composed of AttorGeneral Robert W. Kenny and Congressman John Phillips, both former the state senate— has reported to the legislature after exhaustive situdy. without any national shortages of food, labor, goods and transport, reports the committee, it would have been extremely ~ difficult for California to adjust its economy to serve the needs of so many new peotwo-and one-half years. And with rationing, priorities, price ceilings, the rubber shortage and dimouts, the job has become almost impossible. The committee issues a_ stern warning that California even witth a normal farm labor supply, could not produce enough farm products. to take care of the 50 per cent increase in the state’s food consumption, and is war unless to essentials, members of months of Even the government’s quota for lendlease and the army. And it emphasises that California farm labor has been drained away by the military services and by war factories and that California farmers can’t get desperately needed equipment. The federal government;--says the committee, simply must take steps to assure farmers their essential manpower and equipment, if chaos is to be averted. The most ominous news on the transportation front, reports the committee is the delay in the synthetic rubber program of the federal government. Highway carriers, in California, it finds, handle two thirds of the total value of intra-state freight business—and California railroads, with the present abnormal demands for trains for movement of troops and military equipment in _ interstate commerce, can’t fill the gap if truck facilities fail for lack of tires. This problem, too, is aggravated, the committee reports, by the fact that ES . . . . FIRST WAAC UNIT WASHINGTON, the Women's Army to the headquarters staff of Lt. er of Allied Forces there.

Glendinning, associate professor of “Few of New Guinea or the University of California. ing unknown, New Guinea is the largest island in the world, if we choose to consider Greenland and Australia as continents. It is about
ly three times that of the British Tsles. “As an important battle area, these largely unsurveyed regions are destined to be developed under the aegis of the United Nations, and their commercial future seems assured by virtue of vast natural resources. The gold deposits alone have gained considerable attention. “To think of New Guinea as a little place off the coast of Australia inhabited only by fuzzy headed cannibals is to have a poor conception of the island. One of the next major developments by white men will be there.”’ Here’s the Way to Get a Pair of Rubber Boots Here’s the procedure for getting rubber boots for farm use: Apply for a purchase certificate from your local OPA Price and Rationing Boad. Before a purchase certificate is issued, the applicant must show a need for ‘more protection the present 35 mile speed limit is not! practical for trucks or ‘buses, and, actually is causing a waste of rubber . and transport vehicles. The commit-. tee then suggests that the Office oF .

The purchase certificate may be present edvat any retail store selling boots.

This much-wanteéd metal is hiding out in all sorts of places. Some of it isn’t even hiding; it is standing boldly in folks’ back yards. Wherever it is, its war value i is so great that Washington is issuing a nationwide appeal for its round-up. In line with the War Production Board policy that any object that can be used in war production should not be strapped, all persons are urged to be on the lookout for metal cylinders such as those shown above. It is by means of these cylinders, loaded with oxygen or acetylene gases, that oxy-acetylene welding and cutting in war plants throughout the nation is being done. Without them high-speed fabrication of fighting equipment would be slowed up, and their mahufacturers cannot get steel to replace the thousands of containers now missing. Cylinders such as these have been used for years by industries and businesses — machine shops, auto U.S. Requests Patri Above — Acetylene and oxygen cylin@& ders at work in shipyard.

Businesses change hands, and often the new owners have hed no use for this type of equipment. The result is that the cylinders have been thrown aside, stacked up in cellars, left on construction jobs, hauled off to town dumps. Some of them are now in use as fences or gate posts. Some form borders for flower beds. Some are in the town scrap piles. “Compressed gases are a vital part of the war production program,” says Donald Nelson, chairman of the War Production Board. “This serious shortage of cylinders will become more acute.as the war effort increases.” To get the cylinders back into circulation everyone is urged to be on the alert for them and, the moment one is spotted, to turn it over to the nearest welding shop or manufacturing plant. The man in the shop or plant will know what to do with it. In the event that no welding shop or plant is handy, finders are patriotically urged to write to the Compressed Gas Manufacturers’ Association, 11 West 42nd Street, New York, N. Y., giving the number and location of the containers, The Association will do the rest. . Student Apprentices Find Work After School Hours H. E.
