48.HOUR WEEK:
For More Production

To meet the demand for record
production, the War Manpower COM
mission ordered II different areas to
60 on a 48 hour week, and advised
liz others to prepare to shift to the
longer work period.
To make up for the shortage of
manpower, the VINO determined on
the 48 hour week to get more pro-
duction per person. Previously, the
48 hour week had been in effect in
40 out of II areas where the VINO
had declared labor scarcity exist
ed. Now, the remaining 81 areas
must go on the longer week.
In the other liz areas, the VINO
saw the possibility of a labor short
age. If such shortage impends,
preparations viii be made to meet
it before it occurs to interfere with
production.
The 48-hour week already has been
instituted in such industries as log
ging, non-ferrous mining and smelt-
ing, and iron and steel.

Try to Maintain Morale

On October II, 1918, Germany's
General Eric Ludendorff declared:
''The tension of the Individual man
has reached a degree which cannot
be increased"
Not long after Germany cracked
under the strain, and steely, dynanl-
ic General Ludendorff fell apart with
the rest. Today, Germany's Hitler,
Goebbels and Goering remember
1918, and the Nazis are working
feverishly to hold up the peoples
morale against the Allies shattering
air attacks.
Hitler has ordered the construc-
ton Of underground concrete hospit-
ais in battle zones, as well as first
aid posts and auxiliary hospitals in
the cellars of the most solid build
ings. Newspapers are carrying on
concerted campaign to educate the
people in treatment of eye injuries
caused by the heat, smoke, dust,
glass-splinters and phosphorus clouds
generated by bombing raids.

OF the worlds gold supply of 80
billion dollars, the U. S. holds % bill
lion dollars, or two-thirds, while the
British Empire controls almost four
billion dollars.
Of the remaining gold supply, over
four billion dollars is in the hands OF
Germany and Japan as a result OF
their conquests. Germany itself pos
sesses no more than 20 million dol
lars of gold, while Japan has 1854
million dollars. South American gold
stocks approximate one billion dol
lars.
Interest in the gold supply height
ened with indications that the U. S.
and Britain intended to make the
precious metal the basis for world
currency after the war, with the
value of all money being founded
upon the gold reserve behind it.

not as yet called all of her eligible

ITALY:
Ne,u Difficulties

To add to the Allies difficulties
in Italy, heavy rain has slogged the
countryside, and new burdens have
been imposed on the lines of COM
munication bringing supplies to the
front.
Because of the inability of motor
vehicles to operate over the muddy
and mountainous terrain, the AL
lies are relying increasingly on
horses, burros and mules. But they
are finding it hard to obtain them
since the Germans took most of
these animals out Of southern Italy
or shot those they could not take,
and the Fighting French have been
unwilling to give up the horses, etc.,
they have in North Africa for fear
of breaking up their mounted units.
Encouraged by Allied difficulties,
Nazi Marshal Kesselring repeatedly
has reinforced his army fighting a
logged delaying action in the rugged
country. After retreating from the
Volturno river line, the Germans
took up positions on the 2,500-foot-
high Massico ridge, where they were
expected to make another stand be-
fore dropping back to the mountains
farther north.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
.Tnps Build Air Bases

While they are slowly being
squeezed out of the Solomons and
central New Guinea, the japanese
are feverishly constructing string
of bomber and fighter bases on the
Celebes islands and the Dutch East
Indies to the west.
Reconnaissance by Allied planes
reveals that the Japs have laid many
new concrete runways in these ter
ritories, and are laying up stores OF
supplies in warehouses spread
around these air centers.
Apparent purpose of these air
bases is to thwart any move Cen
eral Macarthur might make against
the rich oil, quinine and tin lands of
the Indies from Australia to the
east, or Lord Mountbatten might
make from India to the north.

RUSSIA:
Nazis' Darkest Hour

As Russian troops poured across
the Dnieper river and promised to
trap 1000, 900 German soldiers from
the rear, word came from Berlin
that the Nazis admitted they faced
their darkest hour.
Upon the shoulders of Hitler's
army fell the gigantic task of blunt
ing the Russian drive before it could
roll southwark across the southern
Ukraine's broad plains and trap the
Germans from behind while they
held the line against other Red
forces attacking from the front.
AS the German lines sagged, the
Nazis were reported rushing thou
sands of troops from the Crimea,
Immediately to the south. In Melito-
pol, German and Russian soldiers
fought in the streets of the ruined
city, with enemy machine gunners
operating from charred buildings to
delay the Reds advance.
Both sides sustained heavy losses
in men and materiel.

Miss Myrtle Penuel, of George

for Mrs. Bell, who is taking a va
cation in New Orleans.
Christmas Eve, after we were in
bed and quiet, counselor handed
each of us a big stocking, which
we were expected to hang up. We
then formed a line and marched
through the play-rOom, where the
cOlored beams of the nativity scene
| lighted the way as we sang our
Christmas carols into the living
J room to hang up each big, red
stocking. Then we sang our way
back to bed, and Santa could come
at any time.
Besides Miss Fellows and the
counselOrs, Mr.. and Mrs. Toms
acted as Santa's helpers. Particu-
larly did Mrs. Toms do a large
share of decorating. having direct
ed the making of the nativity out of
colored crepe paper on the play
room windows. Mr.. Toms contri-
buted most to decorating the top of
the tree, which required a high step
ladder and careful manipulating.
Santa and his helpers were sure
ly busy trimming the tree, arrang-
ing tables into one long one with
Santa Claus crepe paper cloth,
miniature Santa at each place,
big Santa Claus candle that is still
burning. other candles surrounded
with holly, and pots of poinsettias,
the gift of Mrs. Toms.
When we marched out of the dor
mitories Christmas morning, Santa
was standing at the front entrance
ready to greet us. He followed us
into the living-room, where he pre-
sented our many gifts to us. We
did take time to eat our breakfast. I
