REPORT FROM BELGRADE

A Rumanian journalist, George
Sbarcea, filed this description of con-
ditions in Belgrade to the Bucharest
newspaper, Tribuna:
"The streets are full of soldiers and
civilians dressed in multi-colored
clothes. Poverty, plenty of poverty
everywhere. 1t is long time since
men ceased to wear ties, and in the
wind their necks have a blush color
reflecting death and cold. The major
ity wear shoes with wooden soles. In
the absence of stockings, women
wrap some kind of bandages around
their legs. In front of the Majestic
Cafe, street peddlers sell shoes made
of felt. You would think these slip
pers were for use in your home or in
the bothroom. But if you take good
look, you discover many well-dressed
gentlemen are wearing these slip
pers"

Canada, $50 for export, and $4,000 fol
military use Use more potatoes
| in 1914 is the recommendation of
VIA following the harvesting of the
largest potato crop in history last
year WPB expects a limited num-
Der of domestic electric ranges to be
available for essential civilian needs
during the last half of this year.
u. S. war expenditures in January
amounted to s7,416,0OO,000, almost 7
per cent over December, and an aver
age daily rate of s2S5, 100000. Be-
cause of problems in getting feed,
U. S. production of hatchery chicks
in January was 20 per cent under
January last year. Total retail
sales for 1943 were S63,269,0 900, an in
crease of 10 per cent over 1912, ac-
cording to the Department of Com
merce. Boys and girls under 20
who leave home seeking war jobs
should carry with them proof of their
age, advises the U. S. Department of
Labor. . Copper may now be used
in the manufacture of automobile radi-
ators, gaskets, fuel and oil lines,
brake and clutch lining rivets, and
other essential parts, according to
WPB. Small business is more i'm
portant to this nation today than ever
before" declared Donald M. Nelson,
chairman of WPB, and should be
given top priority when surplus ma
terials of war are released. Al
though the pointsfor-fat plan did not
go into effect until December 10, fats
collections for December were SO per
cent over November, WPB reports. . :.
If war food goals are to be met all
available red clover seed must be
planted this year, VIA asserts. ;.
WPB has reduced the 1914 manufac-
ture of paper towels for home use to
80 per cent of the 1912 base period
output. Farmers will have more
potash salts for fertilizer use this year
than during the two preceding years,
WPB announces. A general re-
tail price reduction to the consumer
of Chinook salmon is expected to re-
suit from establishment of OPA of
a 20-cents-per-pound ceiling price for
certain producers.

CONSERVATION
OF MANPOWER

Improper or imperfect hand tools

out war production, according to the
National Committee for Conservation
of Manpower in Industry.
Created by the U. S. Department of
Labor to reduce industrial accidents
war deprived the nation of millions
of man-hours of labor, the NCCMWI
urges these precautions in the use of
hand tools:
L. Use only tools that are properly
sharpened and in good condition.
2. Use suitable shields to cover the
dangerous parts of sharp-edged or
pointed tools that must be carried
about
3. Use only tools free from broken
or splintered parts. Be sure that
hammer heads are secure on handles.
4. Chisels, hammers, or other tools
on which the heads have become
should not be used.
5. When using wrenches, be sure
that the jaws are not sprung and that
they are properly applied to the nut,
80 that the wrench handle will turn
in the direction to which the jaws
point. Never use wrench or any
other makeshift as a hammer.
6. Use wrenches properly sized fer
the job; be certain that the wrench
Is correctly applied to the nut or bolt
head Where necessary to push
against wrench handle in close
places, push with the hand open.

the Tokyo radios preoccupation with
shipping and rail transportation in the
last few months has suggested diff
Guilty in transporting oil from the

Another possible obstacle to Japanese
exploitation of the captured oil re-

READY BY FALL

Production of a total of SO, 900
domestic electric ranges is ex-

Sixty-eight thousand of these
ranges will be for civilians and
for privately financed federal
housing projects. The $4,000
ranges represent about 16 per-
cent as many as were produced
in the year l941. Production at
the rate of $4,000 for civilians
this year will not meet the total
demand which has arisen since
civilians was stopped, but it is

expected to take care of the

toned, and any person who
wishes to buy an electric range
from his dealer will be required

areas did little damage. During

Monday
Spring grains and dry peas

ally, but winter wheat is spotted,
with more Weedy fields than US
ual where stands were thinned
by fall drouth. The crop is now
in the jornting stage, with some
OF the more advanced fields ex-
pected to head out soon. Sugar
beetS will soon be ready Tor

and south central counties.
Planting of corn, mustard, flax
and potatoes made good pro-
greSS. Beans are almost all in.
Farm and city garden planting
was stimulated by recent rains.
Summer follow operations made
good progress.
Livestock conditions were i'm
proved considerably during the
week, due to better ranges and
pasture after the rains of the
previous week. Lambs are doing
well except where ranges became
so dry that ewes dropped off
in milk. Sheep shearing has
been completed in the early
farm flocks but is Just starting
in the main sheep areas.
Grasshoppers hatchings were
reported in several counties, and
