CURTAILMENT OF
 PAPER PRODUCTION
 IS NOW IN EFFECT

NEW YORK - The great North American paper making business. which produces more than half the worlds supply went under joint U. s. Canadian restrictions this week.
 The first wartime continental conservation plan, which embraces the entire civilian paper industry became effective Nov. 1. The war production board in Washington. D. c. and the wartime prices and trade board at Ottawa set up restrictions forbidding manufacturers of paper. including newsprint, book and mag azine papers. to produce more than their average rate of output for the six months which ended September 30.
 At the same time, both govern ment bodies warned that this is a preliminary step toward curtailment of production in the near future.

allowance Is divided among benefi- eiaries in the following manner:
 a. If the soldiers benefieiaries are all Class A relatives or are all Glass B dependents the soldiers contribution Cnormally s22) will be appoftfUhed among them in the same ratio in which they share the Governments contribution
 b. If the soldiers beneficiaries are in both Class A and Class B (which means that the soldiers contribu- tion will normally be $279, S22 will be apDortiOned among those in Class A in the same ratio in which they share the Governments contribution and $5 will be apportioned among Class B dependents in the same ra- tio in which they share the total Governments contribution.
 For example, the total family aI- lowance payable to one dependent parent and one dependent brother is S42 per month. Of this the Coy ernment has contributed $20 (S15 for the parent and S5 for the bro ther). The soldiers contribution of S22 is apportiOned in the same way the parent gets fifteen-twentieths of the soldiers contribution for Sl6.50) and the brother gets five. twentieths Of the soldiers contri- button Cor $5.50). Adding the sol dier's contribution and the Govern. ment's contribution together. the parent will receive $31.50 per month and the brother will receive S10.50 per month. These two payments will normally be made in one cheek mailed to the parent, but can ba made by check mailed to each of the dependents. if necessary.
 Another example: The total fam fly allowance payable to q wife and two dependent parents is $50. Of this the Government has contributed S26 for the wife and S25 for the two dependent parents. The soldier has contributed $22 for the wife and $5 for the parents. Adding the soldiers contribution and the Gov ernmentas contribution together. tbe wife will receive $50 Der month and the two parents will receive s3O per month, or $15 each per month
 How Much Will A Relative Or
 Dependent Get?
 As explained above, each allow ance is made up of money deducted from, or charged to, the soldiers nav and money contributed by the Gov ernment. The first question that most people ask is: What is the to- tai amount that a relative or de pendent will get? Below is printed list of typical cases and the total amount of the monthly allowance if an application for them is approved Remember that part of this money Is contributed by the soldier and part by the Government. For ax- ample, a wife (no chiIdran) re- ceiVes check for $50 every montb UT this, the Government has con trlbuted $28. The remainder. or s22 mas been deducted from, or charged to- the soldiers pay. The follow ing amounts include both the sol ulef contribution and the Govern ment's contribution:

Our Common
Objective
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Most OF the problems with
which we are confronted now or
az any other time could be set
tied II we would base our argu-
ments on those things which we
have in common rather than on
our differences.
There are very few people who
are entirely "agin" things. or
who do petty. mean. or unfair
things intentionally. I'm sure you
don't. hope don't. And
we're no different from other peo-
Pile
II We could just sit down with
those with whom we do not agree,
and start counting up the things
we have in common. We would
see that these things are far
more important and far outweigh
those points on which we differ.
For instance, let's take the
question of Jobs. Let's not argue
II from the standpoint Of discrim-
lration. which Immediately throws
one side on the offensive and the
ether on the defensive. CA person
who has been unfair will fight
dcubly hard % justify himself)
Lets argue from the point OF
agreement. We can't have fac
tories without the sale Of the
goods they produce and we cant
have the sale OF goods without
purchasing power OF the great
mass OF people Economic security
for all is the basis OF national
prosperity Let's worry about get
ting people back 10 work rather
than just about discrimination.
Let's fight mob law nv starting
from the point of agreement that
unless laws made nv the people
are obeyed nv the people no one
is safe Let's ge' better educa-
tional facilities hv pointing ont
the progress that has been made

fits NJ education What George
Washington Carver has done has
