Acute Food SHORTAGE
About End Of 1943
Predicted by Fu|mer
Says Nothing Is Being
Done; WPB Group Urges
ALLEGATION Of Meat

The United States and the other
United Nations are headed straight
for an acute food shortage, Chair
man Fulmer of the House Agricul-
tu1e Committee said today, and
nothing is being done about it.
It will come about the end OF
1943, the outspoken Carolina farmer
predicted, and the officials and
bureaucrats handling the program
now won't do anything about it
until it smacks them right in the
face
Rep. Fulner said he based his
| belief on a growing shortage of
farm labor and what he described
as an increasing tendency to dis
regard the problems of the farmer.
Meanwhile, the War Production
Boards Food Requirements Com
mittee headed by Secretary of Ag-
riculture Wickard recommended
Government ALLEGATION of meats to
butcher shops and other retail out
lets to permit equitable distribution
of limited supplies.
Fair Share Sought.
The plan, the committee reported
to WPB, would tend to give every
area fair share and prevent some
sections such as those close to meat
producing centers and others with
high price ceilings from obtaining
larger portions.
The recommendation reeu1ted
from an unprecedented war demand
for meats during a seasonal Short
age that developed in several Sec
tions of the country, particularly
in the East. Some packers claim
that the Government policy of
maintaining ceilings on prices of
meats and none on livestock has
contributed to the shortage. They
explain that several packing plants

w might just as well go out and
shoot our boys in the army and navy in

Spoken by 1t. Col. Frank Murphy
these are words that every one in war
plants should memorize. They do not come
from "reactionary" or Labor batter"
They come from one of the best friends
labor has. During the turbulent days of
the sit-down strikes, when the cry was
raised for troops to turn the strikers out
of the plants, it was Frank Murphy as
governor of Michigan VINO barred the way.
He said that such action would only
cause needless bloodshed. He insisted on
arbitration.
There is no labor problem-whether it
is about wages, hours or working condi-
tions-that cannot be solved by arbitta-
ton.
In fairness to the leaders of labor, it
must be said that they realize this. But
willful minority Of workers do not. They
are quite ready to shoot our boys in the
army and navy in the heart" by striking

Strikers VS.. Soldiers

OMETIMES the strikers are not called
~ that. In a Jackson plant making vital
crankshafts for torpedo boat motors, half
of the employees quit" last week when
wage demands were not met Immediately.
The employees insisted they were not on
strike. But the plant was forced to shut
down. War production was completely
stopped.
The sailors who do not receive the
torpedo boats they vitally need may have
a difficult time detecting the difference
between strike" and quit" in this case.
The majority of workers in Detroit are
doing their jobs. Figures of the state labor
mediation board show that there were only
three strikes in Detroit plants so far in
September Strikes are on the decrease.
But there still are strikes. There should
not be.
1t is the duty of hundreds of thousands
of loyal, patriotic workers to impress upon
the willful minority of strikers the words
of Lieutenant Colonel Murphy.
When you halt production, you shoot
our bows in the back!

Better Health

DEOPLE write and ask me
i how much water they should
drink a day as if there were
some rigid standard for it.
! do not think there is.
The requirements of the body
vary from time to time. We
need more water in the summer
because we lose more from the
skin.
Thirst is one of the most deli
cate regulators of any of the
general bodily sensations-far
more reliable than hunger.
We are often hungry when we
do not need any food, but thirst
does not trick us that way and
you may be perfectly certain
that if the body content of wa
ter goes even the slightest deci-
NAL point below normal. you will
get thirsty in a big way and de-
mand water.
Does the sense of thirst ever
deceive us? Or, TO put the
question another way, would
drinking water more than the
actual needs of the body dictate
be good for some people?
Possibly. IT is an indication
that constipation is dependent
more on lack of bulk of the food
than the use or avoidance of any
particular kind of food. that
extra water drinking and MOTH
ing else often will be sufficient
to overcome it.
DEGULAR bowel evacuation
IL is a function of the left side
of the large intestine and that
is stimulated to contraction by
any peristaltic wave.
Putting anything in the stom-
ach starts a peristaltic wave.
That is why after breakfast
is the usual time for the daily
evacuation.
L liC pei iStdlSAc lthNioACa Wy
breakfast goes down the entire
digestive canal until it hits the
segment in the lower bowel
where a 24-hour accumulation
is ready to be moved on.
There must be time for an
other accumulation before peri
stalsis exerts any action. which
is probably why lunch and sup
per cause no action.
Many people are constipated
simply because their food in.
gestion lacks bulk and many
more because it is too dry.
For these deliberate extra
water drinking is a logical
remedy.

son who is constipated should
drink two quarts a day.
This seems TO be the con-
sensus of opinion Of those ply
sicians who have studied the
question-eight to 10 glasses OF
water a day for any who tend
to be sconstipated.
The use of a glass OF water
on first arising in the morning
as a treatment for constipation
has plenty of support not only
from practical experience but
also from theoretical science.
Hot water should be used, be-
cause. as Schulz showed long
ago, hot water escapes from the,
stomach faster than cold.
The heat increases powerfully
the movements of the stomach
walls, and also causes the
pylorus. the exit from the
stomach. to open. thus allowing
the water to pass rapidly into
the intestine.
This is an explanation of its
relief in case of stomach pain.
The glass OF water should be
slipped slowly while dressing
before breakfast.

Register Share-the-Ride' Drivers

THE time is past for APPEALS to
i motorists to cut down on their riding
or to share the rides. Such appeals have
proven worthless
The time has come for institution of
workable system to FORCE motorists to
share rides
AS start toward institution of
practical share-the-ride system, it would
seem advisable for the city-or the Office
of Civilian Defense-to set up a bureau
in which motorists who are willing TO
transport passengers can register.
In this same bureau Detroiters who do
not have cars-or whose tires are virtually
worn out-also could register.
1t would be a simple matter to assign
three or four passengers daily TO motorists
and make them responsible for their trans
portation.

cause it was the biggest they saw in

er provided information, upon the
accuracy or inaccuracy of which
might have depended the success or
non success of the entire operation.
They were working all the time and
they brought in good information.
1t was a highly commendable per-

Hughes said that in addition to
their patrol and torpedo work, the
plane crews, when aground for re-
fuelling and tuning, aided the
ground crews instead OF resting.
"They were in the air Il to IA
hours a day." he said. They gave
good evidence that there are iron
men among us.
