RUSSIA:
Reds Tighten Moose

German armies fought desperate
ly to draw themselves from the
moose Russia's surging forces were
attempting to pull tight in the great
bend of the Dnieper river.
To the south, the Reds spilled over
the fiat steppes west of fallen Melito-
pol, and raced to thwart Germany's
withdrawal of its forces from the
Crimea.
Action along the whole southern
front centered around the Russians
attempts to surround and smash the
German armies threatened with en-
circlement from the rear, and the
Nazis' desperate efforts to hold off
the Reds with heavy counter-attacks
while the bulk of their troops
dropped back to the west, on the
edge of the 1941 European border.

CATTLE:
NetU Subsidy

To stabilize livestock prices at
present market levels, the govern
ment announced a new subsidy plan
for professors and slaughterers.
Under the program, subsidies of
so cents will be paid on common
cattle selling between $40 and $11 per
hundredweight, and for cutter and
Gamer classes ranging from $7.45
to S8.45 per hundredweight.
For good grade cattle selling be-
tween SLABS to $15.25 per hundred
weight, $1.45 subsidy will be paid,
while for medium class stock bring
ing from $12 to $13, 80 per cent
grant will be made. To discourage
production of choice to prime beef,
subsidy of 81 will be paid on grades
from SIS to SIG per hundredweight.
To slaughterers who do not process
by-products, a new subsidy of 30
cents per hundredweight was estab-
ished. Slaughterers buying cattle
below or above the stated prices will
have their subsidies reduced by a
similar arn0IInt

FOOD:
Margarine Tax

Because of growing opposition
from the dairy bloc, a stiff fight
loomed in congress over the pro-
posal to eliminate federal taxes and
restrictions on margarine.
While more consumption of whole
milk was advocated, with ''good"
margarine substituted for butter,
Representative August Andersen
(Minn.) declared additional feed
would supply sufficient milk for all
purposes.
Consultant to the food and drug
administration, DR.. A. ]. Carlson of
the University of ofChicago, stated that
present "good" margarine has nu-
tritional values equal to butter, and
tax laws strike at the poorer classes
in most need of adequate nutrition.
When the margarine tax was first
enacted, he said, there was occa-
sional fraud in the sale of the prod
uct and there was less information
on nutrition.
Because cottonseed oil is an in
gredient of margarine, there were
charges that the congressional cotton
bloc was interested in repeating the
tax and restrictions.

trust laws would not be construed
as regulating insurance, or as i'm

''It would establish a dangerous
precedent" Biddle said, under
which other groups of special inter-
ests might apply for and receive
immunity from the antitrust laws;

LIFT BLACKOUT:
Coasts affected

Coastal cities can turn their lights
on again. The war and navy de-
partments have withdrawn the order
requiring a partial blackout along
the waterfronts, to prevent our ships
being silhouetted against the sky.
Such clearly outlined ships were an
easy target for prowling submarines.
Because the submarine peril is
much reduced, the military officials
believe the blackout no longer neces-
sary, it was announced. The order
was effective November 1.

FARM INCOME:

IrInI DEBTS
More prudent than in the last war,
farmers are applying much of their
greatly increased incomes to reduc-

cations, department of agriculture
official said recently. About bill
lion dollars in mortgage debt has
been paid off since 1899, he added.
This, he commented, is in sharp
contrast with the First World war
period when farm mortgage totals,

ing at times, but that is the steam escaping through the safety valve of Democracy. We do make mis- takes, and our leaders do, but we are backing you fellows to prove that our errors are not compar- able to the colossal blunders the Axis members made when they underestimated our ability to out produce, out-wait, and outright them. We do debate about the need for the extent of the rationing to which we must submit, and look back longingly to the days when we could get all the groceries, shoes, gasoline, and meat we wanted.
 But we should not be blamed for not liking the conditions that war imposes upon us who do not fight. We are not supposed to like what war does to us. If we liked 1t we might be tempted to keep our youth at war all the time. For the most part We are taking our re- strictions and privations in stride. The vast majority of civilians hope the soldiers and sailors are getting the things in abundance that are scarce on the home front. We know that we are lucky to be in the United States where the neces- sities of life are more abundant than anywhere else on earth, and we are working to keep fed and equipped those men who are de- lending our way of life.

She should have waited un- til we all came home and had chance to give one more concert. Her picture reminded me of the fun we used to have in music and plays-a far cry from this."

GET US STRAIGHT

From some of the comments that comes back from men over seas we learn that many of them get the impression from what they read in newspapers and magaz- ines that the people on the home front are not backing up the war effort as they should, and that shirking, and complaint, wasteful- ness and self-indulgence are ramp ant. This impression does not tally with the facts. It magnifies the bad and minimizes the good.
 History will record thrilling epic of civilian war conduct, an epic to a speed and amount of production that staggers the nm. nm agination, an epic of war loanS d voluntary service, of adjustment to the limitations put upon what we do, what we enjoy, what we eat.

LET'S ALL BE FOR TT

Now that the electors have ex- pressed their decided preference for the Town Manager form or government they can perhaps an ticipate a little more cooperation on the part of those in a position to help make this popular form of government productive of all it is capable of achieving. There IS a promise of much that is deslr- able to be read into the statement of a party leader who expressed the plan. He said, "The vote clear lv demonstrates the wishes of the voters of the Town and l consider the matter now definitely settled for all times. We must make It work"
 The trouble with the plan locally has not been so much with the cenral idea of Town Manager as with the fact tfat the system, set up under a rather vague state law, requires the whole-hearted cooper ation of the local boards even to the surrender of some of the pre- negatives granted them under the special acts by which they were created. The absence of such CO., operation on occasion led to a ser ies of misunderstanding which very naturally created doubt in the minds of some as to the advant-- age of the Town Manager method over the former system of govern ment by Selectmen.
 "The remedy" says the Hartford Courant" as Bloomfield has wise ly decided is not to revert to the old system but to perfect the plan under which it is now operating ... Obtain from the legislature a special charter for councilman ager plan that will leave no un- certainty as to whose authority is whose. Bloomfield having now voted to retain the general feature of a Town Manager administration can appropriately ask the legislat- ure for a charter that will enable it to enjoy the full benefit of pro- gressive local government"

AS THE BOYS SAY

During the month there have been swell letters from Leslie C. Pierpont, Tom Pignone, Robert B Begerson, Frank Dubinsky, Pete Gilli, Frank Wurdig, Henry Ole skewicz, John A. Stargu, A. J. Radesky, Carl Murray, Robert Long, Edmand Barrieau and Ray mond w. Baker, which has meant that little Miss Messenger has been in direct touch with just about every corner of the globe.
 We are going to omit all the pretty compliments these fellows pay the Editorial Board and use the space to quote at greater length about the location and meanderings of a few of them.
 Corporal Pierpont's note comes from an island in the South Pacif- ic. Of it he says: "It is quite trop- ical here and very warm even though it is winter. However, there is cool breeze most of the time. The trip across was uneventful except for the day we crossed the equator. That day most anything was apt to happen and usually did.
 The food here is very good-a lot better than I expected. There are a lot of cocoanuts, bananas and pineapples and they are de- licious. We have movies every night except Sunday and it's diff ferent show every night. Sure l would like to be nearer home but I must admit that I am quite en- toying myself here I could be a whole lot worse off.
 Another letter from Corporal Begerson is date lined New Guinea He too, comments on the food, "it has improved over what it was at first. Fresh bread about twice a day and a treat was had to- night fresh meat. Boy, oh boy: was that good" Then in a more serious vein he continues with "But the whole war is improving a great deal. About year ago things were not so good and little by little it got worse, the days got darker, but then help came from home, the armies themselves ar rived and the strain and tension was relieved Now there is really big improvement.

 It was from Dubisky's letter that we learned of his being made a Sergeant and we take this means of extending our congratulations on the increased responsibilities: "I can't exactly tell you where l am located" says Dubisky, "but am once more in the combat zone of the Southwest Pacific. lmag- inc after this is over we'll go some place for little rest. At the end of this month I will have been on tropical duty a total of eighteen months"
 Pete Gilli's communication comes from Camp Campbell, Ky and says, " Ihope that when 1 leave here I will be under the command of It. General Patten. He's my true idea of a real General-a man that more privates like than any other. He's a real tanker and I've heard much about how he rides in his own tank most of the tune right up in the thick of 1t all" Will be on my way soon.
 Writing from England, Henry Oleskowicz complains "Life here isn't what it is in the States. I've been here five weeks now and l am sure glad I had my furlough in June so I could enjoy home"
 Sergeant John Stargu in a let ter from the Air Base at Clovis, New Mexico, gives this import ant news of himself, "I graduated from airplane mechanics school at Gulfport, Miss. on April IF and went to Kingman, Arizona to at tend the gunnery school from which I graduated on July 18th, receiving my wings and promotion to Sergeant. After being classi- fled at Salt Lake City, I was sent here to take the first phase of my training as an aerial engineer in a combat crew. I've been in the Army ten months and have seen plenty of our great U.S.A.
 Never expected to see so much. It's swell"
 Another letter from England comes from Tech. Sgt. Bob Long and contains this bit of food for thought, "For us over here and in all other theaters of war, mail, news about home is the main stay. One letter will do more to boost our morale than dozen shows"
 Then from Fayetteville, Ark, we get this from Ed Barrieau; "A month after my graduation from the AM. school, was sent here as an Aviation Cadet. Com menced the training June 3rd4 They have showed me along so l will have about four months of it.
 Fayette is located 1,5OO feet up in the Ozark Mountains. The Uni versity is beautifully situated at the top of a small mountain. The terrain somewhat resembles that of New England, but it is not as
