LODGE GRASS
SURGICAL DRESSING

In a report recently received
from the Lodge Grass surgical
dressing room states that those
who worked in the room during
June were Mrs. C. L. Lohmaier,
Mrs. R. Curry, Mrs. D. Durkin,
Mrs. M. Stutsman, Mrs. M. Hol-
ly, Mrs. Iona Forman, Mrs. M.
Abel, Mrs. H. Westwood, Mrs.

Gripp, Mrs. T. Turner, Miss Mel
VIVA Johnson, Miss Clara Olds,
Mrs. G. Neal, Miss Mabel Holly,
Mrs. Florence Waddle, Mrs. H. A.
Gibbs and Mrs. H. Williams.
The report stated that Area
Supervisor Mrs. Helen Mason of
Helena visited the surgical
dressing room during June as
did Supervisor Mrs. Weir and
Mrs. DeSonia of Hardin.
Due to the fact that several
of the workers moved to the
country for the summer and
that the Ionia group has been
unable to work, there has not
been as large an output during
June as in previous months.
It was announced that the
surgical dressing room will be
open one evening each week to
enable more women to spend a
few hours working on surgical
dressings.

Behind the Scenes
In American Business
By John Croddock

New York, July 12-In Eng
land, the government gets its
messages about salvage and ra-
tloning and other home front
activities to the people by paid
adVertising-paid by the gov
eminent. In America, govern
ment makes no appropriat ton
for advertising. It has been op-
posed on the ground that free
dom of t he press may be jeop-
ardlzed. How, then, can the
public be kept informed? The
answer has been provided by
the War Advertising council,
made up of advertising agencies,
publications and radio stations
and industrial companies. The
companies have already paid for
S2oO,0OO,0OO worth of space.
Many big companies have
pledged 5 per cent of their en-
tire advertising budgets to the
concll's work. The council has a
list of AS advertising agencies,
including all of the biggest, who
have agreed to take on any task
assigned by the council. Mes

Report Shows Good
u. S. Food Average

Generally good yields on the
largest acreage in IL years were
forecast this week by the U. S.
Crop Reporting board on the
basis of July l conditions.
The estimates point to an ag-
gregate crop production in 1913
which seems likely to be about
ia per cent of the 1882 av-
erage. compared to the phen-
ominal showing of 1875 per cent
in 1912. The 1943 figures allow
for crops not yet planted or not
yet estimated and for normal
losses from drought and other
causes.
At present growing conditions
appear to be favorable in all eX-
cept a few states. and there is
reason to believe that the tend
ency towards improvement has
continued into July.
In recent statement. War
Food Administrator Marvin
Jones said: We will have en-
ough food in this coutry--given
at least average weather for the
rest of the year-to give civ
ilians adequate and healthful
diets, in addition to meeting the
military and other ESSENTIAL war
time requirements. This does
not mean, of course. that there
is any better chance than ap-
peared earlier for having all the
food that civilians would like to
buy, or that civilian supplies
for some individual items will
not be far below the demand.
For some important crops, in
Guiding rice. oats, flaxseed and
potatoes. estimated 1943 ;:>eage
is well above the years goals.
Acreage of corn, hay, barley,
grain sorghums, cotton and to-
baco is about at the goals. Ac-
reage of sweet potatoes, dry
field beans, peanuts and sugar
beets is below l943 goals.
