GOLDEN CAMS
Marlene was having her
troubles, too.
Her legs and bare feet were
covered with gold paint. II took
an hour every morning TO APP
ply the paint Yes a woman in
the makeup department did the
painting And Marlene said the
paint was hot on her legs.
Sort Of a hot feeling like the
audience viii get when the pic

lene hoped so, too.
Also, Marlene said il took
half an hour every night 10 get
the stuff Of And even then, she
said, the paint didn't entirely
come off

demands have increased for re-
Taxation on some of the censor

HANDICAPS
The handicaps imposed on
farming. aviation and shipping,
by having in adequate weather
Information, are now greater
than the dangers of giving the
enemy a little dope on u. S.
weather. There is still some pro-
test from Army and Navy secur-
ity officers, but this opinion is
outweighted by a belief that in
case German or Jap raid
against L. S. shores should be-
come a threat, il would be pos
sible 10 clamp down again with
an immediate and effective cen
sorship on weather news.
Another type of information
on which industry would like
some relaxation is the release of
business statistics, now restrict
ed by censorship, Army and
Navy procurement services and
the War Production Board.
Originally, one reason for Sc
Crecy on many war production
figures was TO conceal from the
enemy the smallness of u. >.
reserves Of rubber, aluminium
steel and other critical raw ma
terials, as well as the relatively
small production OF planes
tanks, guns. But as the produc-
ton battles have been won, the
need for all this secrecy has In a
large measure been removed.
Instead, the production of ships
planes, tanks and materials of
war is something 10 brag about
internationally, 10 impress the
enemy with growing American
might
DEMAND FOR DATA
The war production effort has
seen a tremendous increase in
the demand by government
agencies for statistics on busl-
nesses Of all sorts. The COM
plants Of office managers over
the time they were forced 10
spend in gathering data TO re-
ports TO the government is now
an old story.
Most Of the resentment has
been heightened by general
belief that the effort was vast
ed because the statistics would
never do anybody any good.
The grand totals may have been
useful 10 some few top policy
making officials, but the MEM
bers of the industries out IN the
country never expected 10 see
them. Government & e n c s
were, in fact, in the position of
sitting on a lot of business data
which are now becoming in
creasingly valuable IN consider
ing reconversion and postwar
development plans.
Trade associations in particu-
lar have been building bonfires
around in various places TO get

Benton Farmers
To Increase
Production

That Benton county farmers are
attempting to steer their 1913 pro-

by the Department of Agriculture
is evidenced by the fact that the
survey made by the AAA and
the War Board of intended 1913
paintings indicates a 46% in po-
tato acreage, a 500 increase in
tomatoes for canning and, al
though alfalfa shows some in
clination to be less than in 1912,
other tame hay shows a 4O%6 in
crease. The sugar beet acreage,
however, presents a different pic
ture with a $40 decrease from
1912 acreage. Asparagus acreage
remains about the same with 1884
acres in 1912 and 1888 acres for
1943. Mint is still on the increase
with 1852 acres in 1912 and 1922
in 1913. Dry edible beans and
sweet corn for canning show sub
stantial increases while dry edible
peas, peas for processing and snap
