ans Christian Temperance Union of
China. Mrs. Liu has oversight of

need to take to a refuge. Obey
orders.
April 12--the Sunday after Easter
will be generally observed thru
out churches in America as China
Relief Sunday, as a day for dem
onstrating the friendship and COM
passion of the American people for
the suffering people of China"
Funds received in the churches this
day will be used by the Church Com
mittee for China Relief for the

sick throughout China. 1t will be

Postal packages of Bibles, New
Testaments, and scripture portions,
totalling 1889 mailings, have
been sent during recent months by
the American Bible Society from
New York for prisoners of war in
Europe, according to M. Olivier
Begun, of Switzerland; secretary
of the Ecumenical Commission for
Chaplaincy Aid to War Prisoners.
In addition to these mailings, large
quantities of French scriptures have
been printed in Geneva and dis
tributed by the American Bible So
ciety in war camps. The packages
mailed from New York contained
scriptures in English, French, Rus
sian, Italian, Polish, Czech, Greek,
Dutch, Serbian, Spanish, Yiddish
and Hebrew. NJ Benguin believes
the scriptures are especially desired
by the prisoners and that they keep
up the mems morale.

SECURE COAL NOW AND
UrCE CDADTNOT

Home owners and business con-
Germs and institutions using btu
mious coal were urged today by
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor to
take care of their next winters
needs Immediately, if possible, to
assure adequate supplies. Not only
should the coal be ordered, the
Governor pointed out, but as far as
practical, 1t should be received and
stored so as to lessen the great de-
mands upon the railroads in the
summer and early fall.
Quoting advices from the office of
the Bituminous Consumers Counsel
in Washington to the effect that the
bituminous coal situation is rap
idly becoming critical, Governor
O'Conor made known that the de-
mands of war industry and public
utilities will be far in excess of
such needs during the year just past
This Increased need will begin to
make itself felt in late August and
the early fall, he said, and unless
home owners and other users of
Bituminous Coal take steps now to
lay in adequate supplies, it is prac-
tically certain that there will not be
enough locomotives and equipment
to move coal in quantities sufficient
to meet all the demands.
AS further precaution against
the possibility of "heatless days.,
the Governor Furthermore laid en-
phasis on using coal stocks sparing-
ly. He already has ordered a survey
of the coal situation in all State
owned institutions, agencies and
buildings.
Stories from various parts of
Europe during the month just past,
declared Governor O'Conor, ''have
emphasized the miseries which
have been added to the woes of. the
conquered peoples by their inability
to secure this much-needed commod-
ity. 1t would be tragic if any num-
Der of our people brought such mis-
fortune upon themselves by neglect
ing to take proper measures early
enough, particularly as there are
ample supplies of coal available if
orders are placed in time"

LABOR ON THE FARM

The farm labor problem grows
steadily more severe. High indus
trial wages have attracted a great
proportion Of the men who used to
do farm work. And the farmer must
pay big money even to incompetents.
AS result, the increase that has
taken pace in farm prices has been
largely offset by the higher cost of
labor--plus the higher cost of taxa
ton, supplies, and everything else.
The cooperative marketing organ
izations are doing a good job in pre-
senting these facts to the public.
They are facts that must be taken
into consideration when farm price
ceilings are applied. The public must
realize that a higher price for farm
produced goods does not necessarily
mean iarger--or as large--a return
to the farmer.

A LUMP OF COAL

Pictures have recently been pub
lished showing new plane built al
most entirely of plastic materials. 1t
is a beautiful looking job.
Unbelievable as it may seem,
coal supplies essential ingredients
for many of the plastics used IN
modern airplane construction--for
wings, fuse1ages, fairings, radio
antenna masts, trim tabs, control
pulleys, pilot switch panels, cabin
yentilators and cameras.
The designers and builders OF air
planes are finding that plastics from
coal provide essential materials for
building stronger and better planes.
Also plastics produced from coal
furnish materials for hundreds OF
other articles such as pencils, clocks,
raincoats, battery boxes, air-condl-
tioning grilles, radio cabinets, table
tops, etc.
Chemicals from coal contribute to
the American way of life, in road
construction, medicines, weed kill
ers, automobile tires, clay pigeons,
telephones, wood preservatives, etc.
Few persons realize that our
chemical industry, in conjunction
with the natural resources indus
tries such as mining, oil, timber and
power, have been quietly revolu-
tionizing and improving our Amer
lean standard of living. This is but
another triumph to chalk up for in
dividual opportunity and enterprise
in our country.

HoMEMAKERs WILL BE
ABLE TO MANAGE

Homemakers need not be con-
cerned about how they're going to
manage under sugar rationing. The
amount of sugar they're going to
get will be enough to meet the
family needs, il meals are carefully
planned, according to OPA's Con-
sumner Division.
You get just two things from
sugar--food energy and a sweet
taste. So you can stretch your ra-
ton by getting some of the food
energy you need and some of the
sweet taste you like from other
foods.
Take food energy, for example.
Sugar supplies food energy quickly.
But you can get your days supply
just as well from starchy foods like
cereals, breads and potatoes, from
fats like butter, and cream, and
from many meats. And foods rich
in nsugar, like fresh, canned and
dried fruits as we'll as some vege-
tables are all good sources of food
energy.
When you're planning how to
use the days supply here are few
sugar-thrift rules that will help
you.
Serve cooked fruits hot to enjoy
their richest flavor.
Sirups saved from canned fruits
are good sweeteners for other fruits,
and can be the base for pudding
sauces and for beverages.
A pinch of salt increases the
sweetening power of sugar in cook
ed foods.

in mind in the way of conquest.
The present program, he said, invol-

Group Protests Contracts
For Movinq u. 5. Workers

A protest against the method OF
the Procurement Division of the
Treasury Department in handling
contracts for removal Of Federal
workers from Washington to other
cities was made yesterday by the
Independent Movers and Ware
housemen's Association.
In a petition 1led with Assistant
Attorney General Thurman Arnold
and with members of Congress, the
group charged that the Procure
ment Division had failed to solicit
bids from the moving industry.
1t was charged that all work in
connection with moving several
thousand employees affected by the
wartime decentralization was given
to the Trafice Service Department,
described as a private organization.
When independent truckers sought
to get some of the business, it was
charged in the petition, they were
informed they would have to afhli-
ate with the Traffic Service De-
partment and pay dues Of $50 year
The petition stated the rates be-
ing paid for this moving work we're
the highest in the industry and said
thousands Of responsible truckers
would be willing to do the job at
lower rates. An investigation and
review of the action Of the Procure
ment Division was demanded.
