OWith everyone defense minded
these days the National Youth
Administration is doing all they
can toward preparing the United
States along the defense lines.
This year the National Youth
Administration has been allotted
more money toward defense
projects than on the regular
projects. The fact that there is
q fund limitation on the regular
projects may eventually lead to
the cutting down of youth en-
ployees on regular projects and
putting more on defense prof.
ects.
There has been set as a quota
for area three of which Macomb
County is part of; 1000 on de-
Tense projects and $50 on regu-
lar projects.
BY October the area quota is
800 at the present time there are
500 actually on defense projects.
There has been no county quota
to date. Each county is to have
as many d e tense projects as
equipment and youth labor war
rant. 1t may be that any county
not having defense projects will
have the regular projects dis
continued. Therefore each county
National Youth Administration
supervisor is busily contracting
necessary individuals which will
aid in setting up defense prof.
ects.
In order to be a certified de-
tense project certain require
ments must be met with in each
defense shop. Those types OF

Food Program
is Explained
Wheel Problem
Not Affected

aThe new national food pro-
gram recently announced by
Secretary of Agriculture Wick
ard which sets up production
goals and aims at the largest
agricultural production In the
history of the country, does not
affect the wheat problem, ac-
cording to Cassius w. Thorning-
ton, chairman of the Macomb
County AAA Committee.
He pointed out that wheat
acreage allotments will still be
in effect for the 1912 crop and
that another wheat marketing
quota referendum will be held
sometime next spring.
Farmers who are getting
ready to put in their 1912 wheat
should, for their own protec-
ton and for the general wei
fare of wheat farmers every
where, plant within their wheat
allotments," bloomington said.
The AAA official said that
the regulations regarding mar
keting quotas have not changed
from the regulations now in
effect. If marketing quotas are
voted in next spring, farmers
with excess wheat will again be
faced with the problem Of dis
posing of their excess.
The exact amount of the
penalty for excess wheat in
1912 will not be set until next
spring because the law requires
that the penalty be so percent
of the national average wheat
loan rate and the loan rate for
1912 will not be determined
until next spring.
Farmers who had excess
wheat this year may be free
this excess by underplanting
their allotment this fall to equal
the amount of their 1941 ex-
cess. Full information on this
point may be obtained at the
county AAA office.

Goes All Out for Defense

shop activity eligible under the
defense program are: Machine
shops, Sheet metal Shops, Weld
ing shops, Foundries, Forge
shops, Electric shops, Auto me-
c h a n C s shop, Woodworking
shops. Wherever possible public
owned shops will be contacted
first to determine number avail
able projects. If public owned
shops fail to meet the quota then
privately owned shops will be
contacted.
At the present time there are
about so youths on the National
Youth Administration at Sell
fridge Field. Many of these
youths will probably be trans
ferred to a defense project To-
Gated at the field. At the present
time a project is being written
up for an auto mechanics shop
which will be considered q de-
tense project.
Youths assigned to defense
projects earn more than those
on the regular program. Another
defense project under consider
alton at the present time is q
machine shop project at Lincoln
High School in Van Dyke. When
this project is approved it will
draw youths from Van Dyke,

Cost-PIus Contract
For War BUILDING
IA Months Are Allowed
For Construction; Work
Will Stort at Once

Contract for construction of the
new War Department Office building
in Arlington County was awarded
Yesterday TO John McShain, Inc,
Philadelphia. and to Doyle & Russell,
and the Wise Contracting Co., both
of Richmond, Va.
The award was made on a cost
plus fixed-fee basis Actual amount
of the contract will be determined
by plans for the building as actually
completed.
Time allowed for construction Of
the building is IA months, two
months longer than was planned
for the S35.00000 structure original
ly proposed. The extension of time.
1t was explained was due to the
fact that the site finally settled
upon. some distance south of that at
the Virginia end of Memorial Bridge
at first selected, must be supported
on piles.
Size Reduced.
1t was proposed originally to erect
O structure large enough to house
all of the War Departments ac-
tivities under one roof, but this
caused such furor in Congress and
from the public that the President
ordered the size of the building to
be reduced about half, to accom-
modate approximately 10000 en-
ployes.
The change in plans also was ac-
companied by change of site. That
finally chosen is an 87-acre tract
lying south of the Arlington Expert
mental Farm and originally acquired
by the Government for a quarter
master depot.
Pentagon- Shaped.
While final architectural plans
have not yet been released, it has
been announced that the new build
ing will have between 100000 and
2,500.000 square feet OF floor space.
It will be pentagon-s n-shaped and will
have Is interior courts.
President Roosevelt has called for
the building only as quarters TO be
used for Offices throughout the pres
ent emergency. Later it will be en-
ployed as storehouse for depart
ment records.
Work on the structure IS expected
10 begin Immediately.
