French Government
Considers State
Planned Economy
PARIS (UP) — The French
government is considering a
policy of state-planned economy
after the war. In the opinion of
government spokesmen, drastic
measures are necessary to meet
one of the most serious econo-
mic crises in the history of
France.
For example—General Charles
De Gaulle has come out strong-
ly for a system of firm control
over the nation's economy which
includes nationalization of the
coal mines in northwestern
France. It's believed that other
key industries also are likely to
be nationalized.

WFA Increases Set
Aside For Services
From 50 To 70 Pet.
WASHINGTON (UP) — The
war food administration has ord-
ered an increase in the amount
of utility-grade beef set aside for
the armed forces.
The order increases the set-
£side from 50 to 70 per cent of
the production of federally-in-
spected packers in all states ex-
cept California, Oregon and
Washington.
Federally-inspected packers al-
ready are required to hold all of
their choice, good and commer-
cial grades of beef, from which
up to 00 per cent may be select-
ed for government purchase
while the rest reverts to civilian
markets. Eighty per cent of can-
ner and cutter grade beef also is
under set-aside order.
All in all. the situation adds
force to an agriculture depart-
ment report that civilian meat
supplies this year will be notice-
ably lower than they were last
year.

How to make
your linens last longer
1. Don't churn things in your washer any
longer than necessary.Too much hand rub-
bing also has an abrasive effect on fabrics.
2. Avoid using an inferior bleach, which
may be uncontrolled in action and over-
bleach, causing threads to break down.
3. Whiten safely with Purex, the bleach
with Controlled Action! Purex is the only
bleach made by the Intrafil Proc-
ess, insuring uniform bleaching
action from every bottle.

Salt has been marshalled to serve our nation at war.
In war or in peace, salt is essential to the health and
vigor of a nation's people. In World War II, count-
less new uses for salt have been found in the making
of synthetic rubber, chemicals, dyes, etc.
Salt is a vital ally in war. Life-saving salt is used in
plasma, dressings for wounds, and dousing fire bombs
in battle areas.
Salt is serving the homefront, too. in the preservation
of foods, in the making of innumerable articles for
war and civilian use.
From the salt mine's to consumer. The Texas and
Pacific serves the Salt Industry. We salute this great
industry—we are proud to serve them.
