most of the food is sent, both be-
cause of its accessibility and our per-
sonal relationships. The food is done
up in assorted packages, a sample
one, l found, contained chocolates,
salted pecans, jumbo raisins, boned

there has been butter and none of
the food interferes with the ration
plan of a country, these shipments
being classified as gifts. After a
package has been selected, the store
management finds out when it can
be shipped and then send it along.
Over a period Of several months
now, was told not a single package
has been lost en- route.

1t is easy to understand why
Congress has played politics with
war legislation. The first concern
with the vast majority of our nat

try to be on both sides of every

large group of voters.
AS long as congressman are hu-

Young Pigs At Two

Bonnie Cooper, Negro County
Agent, in Holmes County is glad to

but the ones he now has are getting
badly worn, and he is not on the
eligible list for tires.

Main manifestations of the bust
ness and industrial picture fall into
a ncW alphabetical array, the -Four
Cs-Conserve, Curtail, Convert and

industry conversions to war work
comes from j. S. Knowlson, chief
of WPB's Division of Industry OPP
erations. He predicts American in
dustry in general will be "well over
the hump in the conversion pro-
gram by fall, with the auto industry
leading the way-but warns there'll
be casualties" More than 70 firms
N the office equipment field have
been advised by WPB that They're
expected to produce small guns, a.
mong other things, in place Of their
customary adding machines, cash re-
gisters and typewriters. THUS the
war takes the quotation marks off

Of their regular output A
non-military, though war-caused,
case of conversion is the decision Of

for wartime driving drawn up by

Joseph Frazer of Willys-Overland,

MORE ABOUT RUBBER We'll
have enough crude rubber during

civilian needs, with a small carry
over at the end of the year-but
hens when the pinch may begin.
The fact that we must take into
consideration the needs of four allies
as well as our 0wn is now cited as
pointing to an even stricter conser-
walton program than o prevails.
Emphasizing this point, j. J. New
man, vice-president of the B. F.
Goodrich company, last week told
business and industrial leaders in the
Los Angeles area that 1--WE must

AFTER so LONG A TIME
 BIG BEAR-STORY E1lERGEs

When Mrs. L. c. Stock,
 son Larry and little Bar
 bara Lee and Mrs. Ralph
 Goodrich, son Duane and
 small daughter Arleta were in camp several weeks ago, Mrs. Stock was aroused from sleep in the early morning hours by a lot of unusual
 chatter, out si6e but near their cabin. Her first thought was that the child ren were out side and making the noise but she found the children still in bee eno glancing out the window she saw a big black bear help ing himself at their cone mi ssary to hamburger, pork chops one the like.
 Mrs. Goodrich owned the only firearn in camp 80 Mrs Stock woke Mrs. Goodrich with the startling informa- tion, "you've got to kill a bsar:" Mrs. Goodrich whom we'd "figger" weighs around a hundred pounds shou1dered the gun and went forth and killed the bear with two shots both probably fatal but she wanted to be sure.
 When MT. Stock anG Mir. Goodrich drove into camp at dinner-time as was their cust on, they couldn't believ their eyes. Stricken with envy, they went into a hud- de and came out with the declaration that their wives had probably got themselves into a lot of trouble by killing Q bear out of season. Therefore Mrs. Stock and Mrs. Goodrich "kept dark" about the exploi until they learned that if a b ear is a menace to children and gromups and pesticates around camp and food supplie it is all right to shoot him dead at any time of the year.
