those who are helping us in this war
for freedom and to keep those at
home strong and healthy to do their
part We will all have to plant crops
of good foods and raise more of every
thing to help our soldiers, sailors and
Marine boys. Foods that give the
right amount of vitamins, minerals
and other important foods To do this,
we will have to have good soil and
save it and care for it such as told us
by the soil conservation people.
"a good motto for us during the
rest of the war then would be Food
for Freedom"
Protect Natural Resources.
Below is the essay written by
Jerome Hudak:
"'The lone and level sands, They
now stretch far away, Where once q
mighty Caesar held his sway" These
were the words of a poet describing
ancient countries such as China and
Mesopotamia. They declined in i'm
portance because they did not take
the proper care of their natural re-
sources.
"Conservation is defined as the
wise uses of resources so that the
greatest number of people in the
present and future may be served
best Our earth is great store
house of materials that satisfy human
wants. Food, which is an absolute
necessity, has its source in the fertile
earth. Our soil has been so de-
pleted that it does not yield as much
as it could, had we conserved it. We
can say that plants are our source
of food, for animals which we con-
sumo for meat must also have plant
life in order to grow. How can we
expect to get good food to make
good people if we do not take care OF
the soil?
AAA Working Hard.
"All of us have learned through
the work of the AAA what has hap
pened to our soil and what we can dc
about it. Let us consider some OF
these facts. Forests have been re-
moved from steep slopes, thus caus-
ing hillside washing and Outlying
Close cropping of meadow grass by
cattle and sheep has destroyed the
roots and helped soil erosion. Fertile
soil beneath forests has been burned
in forest fires. Soil has been worn
out by careless agricultural methods
The question is: What can be done
about it? The AAA is working hard,
teaching farmers various methods of
rebuilding the soil. Woodlots and
forests cared for in an approved man.
ner will lessen damage done to the
top soil, and will add humus. Hill
sides have their best use as woodlots.
Farmers are encouraged to raise
nitrogen fixing plants such as clover
and alfalfa. Crop rotation is urged.
Careful planning and care of gardens
will help to raise good healthful
vegetables. Besides increasing the
productivity of the soil, we will be
raising good food.
Good food makes good people; and
America needs strong, healthy peo-
pie to help us work for victory"

HENDERSON GETS APPLAUSE
WARNS OF MORE CARS"

Leon Henderson, Price Admin
istrator, was recently applauded
by 1000 industrialists when he
told them that the policies for
the leXecution of which he is re-
spousible are designed not to de-
stroy but to preserve the system
OF private enterprise.
Henderson pulled no punches
in. warning his audience that a
greater measure of Government
bureaucracy" and regimenta-
lion will have to be accepted
before the nation achieves its
goal OF victory. He said that the
people must be prepared foc
more controls and restrictions,
more cars more red tape and
rationing in 1913 and asserted
that the bottom of the barrel in
public patience has not yet been
reached.
In reporting on the work of
the Office of Price Administra-
ton, the Administrator declared
that the policies adopted to
avert Initiation, maintain stand
ards Of, living and provide for
civilian needs have proven emin-
emily successful, despite criticism
leveled in spirit of dissatisfac-
ton with the "bureaucrats'
The year 1912, he declared,
demonstrated the success of the
OPA because prices went up,
under the impact of war, only
one-third as fast they did in
1941. Since August, 1899, pro-
duction has increased eighty-five
per cent and prices nineteen per
cent, but only three per cent of
the price increase has occurred
since Pearl Harbor.

INTENSIFYING WAR EFFORT
CONCENTRATING CONTROLS
MEN. MATERIAL AND FOOD

The President has moved to
concentrate control of the war
effort, putting armament pro-
duction, manpoWer ALLEGATION
and food problems into the hands
Of civilian heads. According to
some observers, the appoint
nients represent something of a
compromise between military
and civilian control but with
civilian authority coming out on
top. 81! t
In the matter of production,
there has been some confusion
Bs. to-, the ultimate authority in
regard to the production Of
arms, including aircraft, radio
and detection equipment. There
were differences of opinion, it
seems, itpon the needs of various
Industries, the ALLEGATION of ma
Iterial and the priority that should
be given for industrial tasks.
Under the new setup, Vice
Chairman Charles E. Wilson, of
the WPB, will have general SUI
pervisory powers over production
but will be guided by advisory
boards on which the armed
services are to be strongly rep
resented.
For some months, there has
been discussion as to the proper
use of the nations manpower,

armed forces for more men and

CURE FOR MEAT
RATION BLUES

AP Features
WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-The
nationwide meat shortage is ex-
pected to produce a boom in
backyard rabbit raising.
Food supply authorities say
that rabbit production is one of
the most feasible methods of
augmenting the family meat
supply. Rabbit meat, they point
out, is highly nutritious, palatable
and fine-grained and can be
served throughout the year.
In view of the well-known
fertility of rabbits, the nations
potential tonnage of rabbit meat
perhaps can be measured only in
astronomical figures.
In some sections of the coun-
try rabbit meat is available in
butcher shops and is served reg
ularly at restaurants, hotels and
hospitals. In other parts of the
country, however, there are rela-
lively few places where the meat
is offered regularly for sale.

from industry for more workers.
In recent months the voice of the
farmer was added to the hubub
as agricultural outputs for next
year seemed threatened by a
serious shortage of farm labor
This matter has been settled
by the appointment of Pattl V
McNutt to top control over the
ALLEGATION of men between the
armed forces, the production
front and to agriculture.
Mr. McNutt assumed authority
over the Selective Service Svs-
tenn and the u. S. Employment
Service which has been placing
and training war workers. With
his appointment came an order
from the President ending vol
untary enlistmentS of men eigh-
teen to thirty eight and, at the
same time, the Army suspended
the induction of men thirty
eight and over and cleared the
way for honorable discharge
from the Army of those over
that age who would be more
useful in war industry.
Subsequently, the President
put Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard in supreme control over
the production and distribution
of food and other farm commo-
dities, charging him with de-
termining requirements in this
field of the civilian population,
the armed services, the Lend
Lease Administrator and foreign
governments, of formulating and
conducting a program to pro-
duce necessary foods and of al.
locating them when they are
produced.
1t should be thoroughly under

er and food problems does not

mean that there will be any in
reference whatever with the
control of military and naval Of
ficers over the prosecution of
the war In fact, there is no rea-
son to suspect that there will be
any lack of cooperation between
military and civilian leaders who
have only one purpose-to win
the war as quickly and as eff
GENTLY as possible. .-r11 -

enough that this part Of the state

That section of the resolution deal

Is watered down still more, however,
by the qualification that this must

The inadequacy of this statement
