Urge BIalkouts
Of Store Fronts

Blackouts OF all retail store
fronts after 9:l5 p. m. beginning
Monday and continuing through
the war were recommended today
in a special bulletin to members of
the Detroit Retail Merchants Asso-
citation.
While support for the plan al
ready has been pledged by leading
downtown and outlying stores, the
association now is trying 10 enlist
the cooperation of all ri the esti-
mated 10000 retailers in the city.
The blackout is designed rs an
air raid measure. Charles K. royd.
secretary Of the association said.
''While large stores have their
own maintenance staffs who
would turn off the lights In the
event Of an air raid. small stores
and neighborhood shops are not
similarly equipped and the pro-
prietor would have TO return To
turn off the lights. This would
mean dangerous delay and
force him tn be on the streets
at the very time when he should
remain In his home"
Boyd said members Of the asso-
citation felt that IL they took the
lead in turning out lights. they
would remove any competitive
angles which the small store pro-
prietor might fear and thus give
him an ipducement to join the
move.

Show Increase
In Earnings

Raleigh, June 22.-Thousands of
farm lamllleS. IN the low income
group who did not produce enough
1000 Tor their W livelihood be-
tore coming IN the Farm Security
Administration program. are now
able to produce a surplus for market
and thus contribute substantially to
the -ood-for-victory program, said
Vance E. Swift. FSA state director.
Swift pointed to figures which
show that FSA borrowers in North
Carolina made a 81 per cent increase
IN net earnings last year and have
almost doubled their food produc-
ton.
The average FSA borrower in
North Carolina increased his milk
production for home use from PSI
gallons before acceptance on the
program to 1923 gallons in 1941. or
70 PEI cent; fruits and vegetables
canned increased from 1875 to 294
quarts, or ll8 per cent: and meat and
poultry increased from 1888 pounds
to 655, or 81 per cent. The figures
are average for the state and are
taken from the annual, nationwide
survey made at the end of each year.
based on reports from county offices.
Last year the average North Caro-
lima family also stored an additional
81 bushels of fruits md vegetables
and produced and used 143 dozen
eggs and l3 gallons of lard.
Families represented are loW-in-
come and financially handicapped
farmers unable TO secure adequate
credit elsewhere to carry on effcc-
lively. Loans are made through
county FSA supervisors who assist
the borrowers in making out their
farm plans and help them to I'M
prove their farms and their farming
methods. More than 20, 700 families
are 10Y being reached by FSA loans
in North Carolina, including some
900 former tenants who are buying
farms through the Farm Security
