"CriticoI Labor
Area" Established
In West

The IL western states from the
Rockies to the Pacific have been
declared critical labor area" by
the War Manpower Commission in
an effort to check manpower losses
which already have reduced pro-
duction of copper, other non-ferrous
metals and lumber.
This is the first critical area" es-
tablished in the nation by VINO in
its campaign to keep vital industries
going in areas where the manpower
shortage is acute. Included in the
area are Colorado, Wyoming, Mon
tana, New Mexico. Utah and Idaho
as well as the states farther west.
Paul V. McNutt, VINO chairman,
announced the area is created in an
effort to halt wasteful pirating and
migration of workers engaged in the
metal mining and lumber indus
tries. He emphasized that the eff
fectiveness of the program depends
upon prompt and vigorous coopera-
ton from management and labor
In creating the critical area. VINO
stressed that the program is one of
employment sterilization rather
than an effort to freeze the individ-
ual workman TO the individual job.
The program was worked out, it was
explained, in close collaboration
with union labor representatives OF
the two industries.
Under the program workers in
the two industries except in Ger
tain specified cases, may not switch
to other jobs, nor may employers
release workers for other jobs, with
out first obtaining a certificate OF
separation from the u. S. En-
ployment Service.

Crowded out last week.

they knew how to plan, for this
day. You see the other mothers,
sometimes fathers, holding tight to
little hands and you feel a stab
within your heart. This is your
child, your child who beat upon
her tray with her spoon. This is
your small toddler who clutched
your skirt to steady her upon her
swaying legs This is your little
girl whose long blonde curls snap

she skipped at play. Then, all at
once, she lets 60 your hand and
walks with eager smile toward

and rather lost for suddenly you
realize you are no longer the only
Guide Star in her life. She will
come home with knowledge that
you never taught her: she will have
small sorrows in which you do not
share.
Of course, you know you're being
silly, incoming here because her
life (and yours moves forward,
and vaguely, in your mind you
know she will come rushing home
to you at intervals, but all at once

Wickard Asks For
Increase In Poultry
Meat Production

Secretary of Agriculture, Claude
r. Wickard has asked American
farmers to produce 100000 ex-
ira chickens during the coming
fall and winter months to help
supplement the supplies of meat
in prospect for civilian use.
Production of the extra chickens
will be in addition to the re-
cord production of eggs, layers
and meat chickens which Ameri-
can poultrymen and farmers are
supplying to meet all wartime re-
quirements in 1912.
Thus far this year more than
40, 500,000,000 eggs have been pro-
duced while the number of lay
ing hens has been increased by 13
percent to total of 315 million.
The u. S. Department of Agricult-
ure reports that farmers will sell
about II per cent more chickens
this year than in 1941.
Secretary Wickard has been as
surred that poultrymen and farm
ers, utilizing existing brooded hou-
ses and other production equip
ment not normally used to capa-
city during this season, would par
ticipate in the program. A million
producers raising 200 chickens each
would assure reaching the goal.
The additional chickens will sup
