POET WAR WORKER
Vacation—War Style—1943
Corn cannot be used for manu-
facture of distilled spirits and
high wines, a recent directive of
the War Production Board says.
The action, was taken to conserve
stocks of corn for essential pur-
poses, although the amount of corn
saved is likely to be small because
distillers already had shifted
■largely to the use of wheat.
NO COTTON QUOTAS
The War Food Administration,
on recommendation of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Agency, haa an-
nounced that there will be no mar-
keting quotas for the 1943 cotton
crop and that no quotas will be
in effect for the 1944 crop. On
July 1, farmers were cultivating
about 8 million acres less cotton
than the acreage permitted in
"■ 1943, and about a million and a
half fewer acres than they were
cultivating on July 1, 1942.

General Cable Corporation re-
cently conducted a poster title con-
test among its 12,000 workers in all
eight plants of the corporation. The
Awards Committee has selected,
from more than 1,800 entries, a poem
composed by William S. Porter, a
Perth Amboy, New Jersey, *plant
employee of the company, as the
Winning entry and has awarded him
as first prize a $100 war bond.
The poster, on which two stanzas
Of Porter’s poem will appear, was
painted by C. C. Beall, who is cur-
rently doing a series of covers for
Colliers.
The poster was oflicially un-
Yeiled at the company’s Maritime

Copr., 1943 General Cable Corporation.

posted in all plants and offices oi
General Cable.
In commenting upon his com-
pany’s war poster program, Dwight
R. G. Palmer, President of Genera)
Cable, said: “We feel one of the
important wartime functions of
management is to promote among
its co-workers a feeling of kinship
in the war effort. Experience haa
taught us that intelligently con-
ceived inspirational war poster!
provide a definite incentive to in-
creased effort on the part of war
workers.”
General Cable Is the largest ln»
dependent producer of electrical
wires and cables.
A vacation is a rest, and your own back yard offers an excellent
chance for complete relaxation. In wartime, unnecessary
travel handicaps important military activities. This y.-ar
spend your vacation at home or explore the recreational
facilities close at hand. rps-O'V

MISS VIRGINIA BIGGS
BECOMES BRIDE OF
MERL PRUITT
^ American housewives salvaged
almost 8 million pounds of waste
kitchen fats in May—highest total (
since the fats and grease salvage
program was started. This result
surprised government officials who
said that a drop might have been
expected because meats and fats
have been rationed since March.
Nevertheless, the 8 million pounds
is only about 50 per cent of the
needed quota of 16,667,000 lbs.
per month.
ROLLBACK OF
^VEGETABLE PRICES
♦ ———
Effective July 20, a rollback of
about 25 per cent in the price of
lettuce and about 50 per cent in
price of cabbage was ordered by
' tfche OPA. This was the first step
in a program to cut back the ex-
cessive prices of fresh fruits and
vegetables to keep the cost of liv-
ing down.
MORE COMMUNITY-
WIDE PRICES
•* OPA will continue to establish
communtv-wide prices on foods
sold at retail, even though it has
recently issued over-all fixed mark-
up regulations. The housewife can
not easily tell whether a store-
' keeper has made his prices hv the
- markup method, and that is the
-reason OPA will proceed with
‘community-wide meaximums.
When a woman worker marries
one of the first things she should
do is to have her name changed on
her social security account num-
ber. This wil be done by any Co-
cial Security Board field office
-without charge.
In the double ring ceremony
performed by Rev. James Todd,
(pastor of The Christian Church,
Miss Virginia Biggs, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. V. D. Biggs, and

Rations for the Sick
Although the need to conserve ^
rationed foods is great, no hospi- \
tal patient’s health need suffer, the
OPA has announced. Local ration-
ing boards have been given autho-
rity to provide supplementary al-
lotments to meet the dietary re-
quirements of patients in hospitals
—whether or no't such patients are
> on special diets.

WOMEN REPLACE MEN
IN RAILROAD JOBS
With 8,000 employees serving
Avith armed forces, the Santa Fe
Railway has enlisted the aid of
hundreds, of Avomen throughout its
13,000 mile system to handle var-
ious jobs and carry on in this es-
sential industry. A survey shoAVS
that there are noAV 3,427 women on
the pavroll Avith about 35 per cent
of them assigned.to jobs normally
handled by men.
These Avomen are Avorking shoul-
der Avith the men and neither seek
nor ask favoritism. They are doing
1 a Avarthne job and realize united
effort is required for victory. Most
of them have husbands, brothers
or sons in military service. Some
have replaced relatives called to
Avar. All appear happy in the
knowledge that concerted effort
Avill speed victory.
A girl from a small toAvn in
Wisconsin Avas sitting in Union
station, Washington, D. C., having
a bad case of hysterics. She had
come East because a friend had
told her there Avas ‘plenty of jobs,’
and she had stood up on the train
all night. Tired and disheveled,
she arrived in the Nation’s capital
Avith no immediate job prospects,
no place to stay, no friends in the
city, and not enough money to tide
her over Avhile she looked for
Avork. She Avished she had stayed
home and taken an essential civil
job in her OAvn community. Travel-
er’s Aid came to her rescue, saw
that she got a feAv hours sleep, and
made arrangements for her return
home.
• This case is typical of the many
that are reported to Travele’s Aid
every day in railroad stations thru
out the country. Loss of sleep,
■sore feet, and lame baicks are only
a feAv of the many discomforts of
traveling these days.
All Cities Are Crowded
Cities are noAV overcroAvded, and
Washington is not the only town
Avhere it is difficult to find a place
to stay. More than 150,000 Avorkers
have moved to Baltimore since 19-
40; in NeAv York and northern
NeAv Jersey, 12.6 per cent of the
population of the country s now
living in 1.7 per cent of the total
area of the United States; other
Avar production areas are similarly
jammed.
[When you start out on a train
trip, you had better be prepared to
“rough it.” The railroads are do-
ing their best, but Avartime condi-
tions make traveling most uncer-
tain. Trains are side-tracked to let
troop trains go through, and pas-
sengers miss their connections, Be-
cause of this - you may spend
the night in a strange city. \ou
■will find it hard to get a cheek
cashed, you Avill have the added
expense of a hotel room, or you
may not be able to find a room at
all.'
Best to Stay Hme
Despite the railroads’ use of all
available facilities, there are just
too many people traveling. Last
year passenger traffic exceeded
■the previous all-time record of
1920 by 14.6 per cent, and the rail-
roads had to serve all these people
With feAver employees and less e-
quipment. Often the diners do not
have enough food to feed every-
one. Many of the trains no longer
air-conditioned—are distressingly
hot and uncomfortably dusty. Sup-
plies are ■short, and many older
cars are noAV in service Avhich have
no 'facilities for air-cooling.
(The government asks you to
think before you travel; and ask
vourself this question: “Do I real-
lv have to go?” Men in the service
must travel. If civilians stay off
the trains, servicemen can have
more comfortable riding condi-
tions—those who stay at home will
he more comfortable too.

visited their parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Arthur KirkAAmod, this Aveek. They
hfia with them another young cou-
ple from Denver.
