TOO MUCH PORK
BRINGS SURPLUS

ecretary of Agriculture
Wickard has begged farmers
TO produce pork in tremendous
quantities to supply the domes-
tic and foreign market. He
promised To maintain the price
despite an overburdened market.
Now Wickard is in jam.
The farmers came through so
bountifully that although we
have sent unprecedented ship
ments TO the British Isles there
still may not be enough room to
store the surplus. He has called
a meeting of packers for early
in the year TO decide where they
will put all the porkers raised
In response TO his request. Most
of the warehouses are stuffed
with foods designed to feed
Britain. Russia, China and the
United States. Il is almost inn
possible to obtain priority orders
for construction Of new storage
eenters.
An easy solution would be
the shipment OF excess meats 10
our allies. But there is such
a shortage Of ships at present
that we cannot send the stuff
abroad. So the United States
is confronted with q scarcity OF
storage space that may cause
considerable trouble.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1942-01-02

Der fuehrer's air force dis
appeared during the two weeks
before he amazed the world by
attacking the Soviet. He aban-
doned his blitzkrieg against Eng
land. He also took his aerial
armada from North Africa. AS
we know now. he was modifying
II for an all out attack ON Rus
STA. In the last few weeks his
great air fleet has again gone
into hiding. He has withdrawn
so many planes that the British
have air superiority in North
Africa and the Russians seem
to have dominant control on
their front.
The best guess at Washington
is that Hitler plans to attack
through Turkey. Reports say
he has shifted his aircraft to the
Balkans and that he will move
against the Suez canal by that
route. Such a stroke would be
logical in view of the prospect
that the Japs may take Singa-
pore. A Nazi conquest of the
Near East coupled with a Japan
ese triumph at Singapore would
cut off the supplies of key mate
rails which Britain and ourselves
are receiving from India and ad-
jacent countries.

HOROSCOPE
FRIDAY, JANUARY 2

This is not an important day
In planetary direction and more
fortunate for rest or recreation
than for any practical activity.
Jupiter Is in an aspect favor
able to foresight and wise plan
ming.
Heart and Home: Social Rf-
fairs are well directed today
which il especially fortunate for
informal dinners and dances.
Romance will flourish and mar
riages will increase in number
through the month. Changes in
households will be widespread
as boys and girls engage in
public service and promote de-
Tense projects. Practical econ
omies should be studied before
they become imperative.
Business Affairs: As the end
OF the holidays draws near men
and women will assume duties
new and old. In shops and Of
fees many readjustments in per-
sonnet will be necessary, due to
war preparations. Initiation
warnings will be frequent, but
efforts to reduce civilian spend
ing will not be effective at this
time.
National Issues: Rebellious
ideas will be widely promulgated
as war conditions come nearer to
the average American citizen.
Until April there may be in
dignation regarding the gradual
entrance into full participation
In the most terrible war in his
tory, but when spring brings

activity the nation will be wholly

Persons whose birthdate II is

Children born on this day will
