Quota High
$50 Tons Required
by Dec. 31st

For the six months period be-
ginning July / and ending 81,
1943, Macomb county's salvage
quota is a total of $50 tons, in
Guiding 397 tons of scrap and
l6l tons of tin, according to a
report issued today by John ID.
McGillis, executive secretary for
Michigan general ! a G e
branch, WPB salvage division.
These Michigan quotas for the
last six months of 1943 r the
lowest ever assigned and take
into consideration the fact that
most of the easy TO get, heavy
melting scrap is gone. The
scrap quotas are based on an
average of 200 pounds per farm,
an amount which can be collect
ed and is within reach, accord
ing 10 county salvage chairmen
contacted by McGillis.
The tin can quota, establish
ed for the first time, is based on
so per cent of the potential, ex-
cept in counties with more than
10000 population where the
quota is Sc 2-3 per cent of the
potential. Under present food
r~ationing regulations we esti-
mate the top potential in tin
cans at 8 lbs. per capita. In all
counties Of more than $1,000
population, with the exception
of Berrien and Macomb, the tin
a quota is based on 4 lbs. per
capita, while all other counties
have 3 lbs. per capita. The tin
a program continues as a two
purpose program aimed at the
recovery Of both tin and steel
scrap" McGillis said today.
He revealed that the tin situa.
ton hasn't changed, and while
the nation produced its quota OF
iron and steel scrap $4,000, 600
tons against a quota of 13,000,-
900 tons) for the first half OF
1943, June marked the second
consecutive month of a down
trend in shipments, l18, 900 tons
less than May shipments of q
$4,000 net tons. May shipments
in turn represented a decrease
from April. June, l943 was al
so the third successive month in
which shipments have been
lower than the comparable pc
riod in 1912.
McGillis said today that cou-
pied with the downward trend
in shipments, and wen more sig
nificant, is the fact that total
stocks in the hands of suppliers
mot consumers have also beer
declining. During the month OF
June, 1943, the decline in stocks
amounted TO almost five pei
cent. Suppliers' stocks as o.
June 80, 1913 we're at the Lowest
level since the Fall drives IL
October, 1912.

SPEARHEAD ASSAULT
British and Canadian troops
led the assault, while Lieut.
Gen. George S. Patton's Amer
lean 7th Army, co-victors in the
38-day conquest Of Sicily, was
held in reserve.
Just before the attack, Gen.
Dwight ID. Eisenhower flew 10
Sicily for a final checkup with
Gen. Montgomery and Gen. Sir
Harold l.. Alexander.
The fact that Gen. Eisenhow-
er held still other armies UNI
committed raised the possibility
that further attacks on Hitler's
European fortress were coming
soon - perhaps in rapid success
sion.
These might be: at Sardinia
and Corsica, stepping stones TO
southern France and the Rhone
Valley invasion path to the heart
of the continent; at Crete, in the
eastern Mediterranean; or the
Allies might turn the southern
end of Italy into a base for a
transatlantic drive into the
Balkans.
Perhaps significantly, in this
connection, London censorship
prevented speculation on future
events in the Mediterranean
theatre, even hating American
correspondents dispatches quot
ing speculation in London news
papers.
HUNDREDS OF SHIPS
Dispatches said ar armada or
many hundreds of troop jam
med ships and barges made up
the attacking force. AS they sped
across the narrow Messina
Straits, Allied l%ong-range guns
on the Sicilian coast laid down
a terrific barrage in Axis de-
lenses. Warships bombarded the
beaches. blowing up barbed-
wire entanglementS and ma
ehine-gun posts, and a great
warn of American and Raj
w~arplanes formed a protective
cover overhead.
In an eyewitness account Of
the landing operations, an
American bomber pilot declared:
We saw colossal explosions
and watched what appeared TO
be a great artillery duel near
the Strait Of Messina."
An Italian communique i'm
piled that the attack had gained
at least preliminary success, an
nouncing tersely:
Last night the enemy, who in
the past had attempted isolated
landings which were then
promptly repulsed, began opera
tions against the Calabrian coast
facing Messina."
1t made no mention Of the new
full-dress landings having been
repulsed.
The invasion. the first time the
Allies have set foot on European
mainland soil in great force
since the retreat from Greece in
April, l94l. came just 19 days
after the end of the Sicilian cam
paign and on the fourth ami

A Wiry Old Chief

One rural weekly newspaper in
Minnesota is older than the state,
having been established in 1855.
Minnesota was admitted into the
Union as a state in 1883 The news
paper is the Hokah Chief. 1t has
another distinction, that of being
named after an Indian chief. The
present editor, the fighting Herb
Wheaton, has been at its helm about
one-third of its existence. Though
not an Indian he does "whoop-her-
up" vociferously now and then.
About his newspaper he writes:
1.-THE Chief is not only the Oldest
country newspaper in the state but
the oldest business institution of any
kind in Houston county. 1t was
founded in 1855, and was named in
honor of old Chief Hokah, chief of
the Winnebagoes, whose home was
on the site of the village of Hokah,
whose tent was pitched where the
Hokah Chief now stands, and whose
burial place is but a short distance
away. The Chief was published
more than three years before Mime
sofa was admitted into the Union

Old Benton county originally COW
cred large part of Minnesota and
included territory from Elk River
north to Grand Rapids and west to
Long Prairie. The county seat was
a small wooden structure at Watab,
near the site of the present paper
mill Sherburne and Mile Laos
county were among the counties
carved out of old Benton county.
William J. Cravens, homesteader on
the present townsite of Princeton,
and father of the Times editor, was
one of the county commissioners of
Benton county at the time that Mile
Laos county was organized from a
portion of Benton county, as appears
on the county auditors records at

ganized for over year before the
people elected a set of county Of

Drowning Toll
High In State

Figures released this week by the
Minnesota State Medical Association
calls attention to the high death toll
by drowning in this state. An aver
age of 1913 people have died each
year for the past four years in Min
nesota from drowning, a death rate
of per 100000. This is larger than
the rates caused by typhoid, epidemic
meningitis, scarlet fever, whooping
cough, diphtheria, measles, smallpox
and infantile paralysis combined.
With the exception of the tragic
deaths among young children who
drown in tubs, drainage bitches, els
terms, wells and water barrels at
home, most of these drownings take
place in connection with swimming,
boating and fishing.
Deaths by drowning are prevent
able deaths, the association stated,
adding that careful watching is the
only thing which will prevent drown
ings among young children. For the
rest, the best defense is to- learn
how and where and when to swim,
how to manage a boat and how to
behave in one. No child should be
allowed to grow up ignorant of these
things in Minnesota.

What the invasion plans of the
Allies in the European war theatre
may be is still mystery but there
is no doubling the fact that what is

move, will move into positions from
which there will be no retreat.
The same is true with the war in
the South Pacific. We y-at-homes,

OLEOMARGINE MAKERS HAVING
FIELD DAY
(Mille Laos County Times)

At a recent meeting of District No.
10, Land O'LakeS Association, a
statement by John Brandt, president
of the Association, made in 1912 was
read in which Mr.. Brandt made the
prediction that in spite of the fact
that in June of 1912 we were in the
peak production of dairy products
of all times and greater storage hold
ings were on hand than in any pre-
vious year, before the year was con-
cluded the rationing of butter would
be in effect.
Mr.. Brandt also called attention to
the coming urgent demand for dry
milk products and said that cream
cries should move rapidly in getting
equipment to handle milk at their
creameries but said that it was doubt
full if priorities could be secured.
He also warned that the pending
dairy products shortage would be
especially beneficial to the oleomar-
garine manufacturers and that farm
ers, through their cooperative organ
izations, would become increasingly
more important in the prosecution of
the war and the rehabilitation pro-
gram that is to follow.
Many ration card holders in places
removed from the immediate produc-
ton areas are finding it difficult to
get butter even when ration stamps
are presented. It will take some time
for new supplies to reach these mar
kets and during the interim, the oleo-
margarine manufacturers are really
going to have their innings. This
butter rollback and the manner in
which it was handled was really a
good thing for the producers of but
ter substitutes.

DANGERS OF INITIATION
Editor ASkov American:


Today we hear much about the
dangers of initiation and talks on how
to avoid it, but 1 think anyone who
faces the situation squarely will ad-
NIT that it is already here. What
is initiation but an exorbitant rise in
dollar values of the commodities we
use in our everyday life? All we
have to do to assure ourselves of
the fact we have it at the present
time is to check our purchases for a
few days.
So, admitting that we have infla-
ton it seems to me the problem be-
fore us is that of the dangers of
deflation Tin the period that is some
where ahead of us) of economic re-
adjustment. We do not have any,
thing to fear during the war period.
We know that conditions will hold as
they are or get worse as far as in
flation is concerned while this war
continues but it is an artificial con-
dition of prosperity.
Whether we admit it or not we are
not in a condition of actual pros
perity. Real prosperity consists of
having plenty of the needs of life at
hand for everyone and that we do
not have at the present time, nor will
we have as long as the war con-
tinues. But, when this struggle
ends we will be in position to de-
vote our time and efforts toward
production for construction rather
than destruction and then will come
the real test of our so-called Amer
lean r-mindedness. Will we let
class and political prejudices affect
our actions as we did after the last
war or will we see the need of pro-
duction for use and go ahead toward
real prosperity? Prosperity does not
consist of bank balances or high
wages. 1t consists of plenty of food
clothing, housing, roads, schools and
| other of life's needs for all.
After the other war we had the
necessary materials for this kind of a
prosperity but because of our atti-
tudes did not use them. It is a kind
of a paradox that our past periods
of prosperity have come during time
of material deficiency while the adj
verse periods come when we have
plenty so it must be the control Of
material needs and distribution that
cause this condition.
To the capitalist-minded control Of
these conditions by the state is arti-
fetal and so to be steered away from
But as I see it, the artificial condi-
ton exists when one group gets
control of production to the point
where in a time of possible plentiful
production we have a large portion
of our population going without the
