A Report to the
Public by
JohNS-MANVlLLE
HighIights Of our second full year
Of wartime operation

HOW well American industry is doing it's war.
i i time job is now known to the American public.
They know that during l943 production miracles
were performed to make our fighting men the best
equipped in the world:
The road to Victory will be hard and long. We
must continue to supply our armed forces with
everything they need. But some day peace will
come and American industry will face the enormous
task of converting our factories from production
to the making of the many things we want and need.
The problems will be difficult. We at Johns
Manville are facing these problems squarely, with
full recognition of our responsibilities and our obi
cations to the public, to the Johns -Manville men
and dwomen now in service, to present employees
and to our stockholders.
We now have $l0,OOO,OOO deposited in Fund for
Deferred Expenditure meet the unusual contingent
obligations created by war, to for capital expen.
ditures which would have been made during the war
years if it had been for war conditions, and to
help finance necessary postwar developments.
Part of this Fund is intended for the peacetme
expansion we believe probable, and will help pro-
vide employment for men and women now in
the armed services when they return In such expan.
sion will lie the future opportunities for all of
We know that obligations can be met only
by devotng all our abilities and intelligence to
keeping our company sound and healthy, and by
anticipating and preparing for the future.

Selected Stocks Up,
But Many Leaders
Lack Support
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, jan 25.-A few
specialties occupied the front row
in today's stock market performance
while many leaders exhibited scant
interest.
The course was moderately uneven
at the start and indefinite trends
prevailed near the close. Dealings
slowed after a fairly active get
away and transfers for the full
stretch were. around 100000 shares.
Earnings, dividends and individual
developments bolstered favorites.
Wall Street continued to devote the
major part Of its attention to the
war loan drive, and corporate securi-
ties were permitted to go their own
way without the benefit of much
public or professional stimulation.
Potential buyers generally were in
Iclined to step carefully pending out
come of the congressional tax wran-
gle and possible foreign eventualities
Homestake Mining hit a new
1894 top. American & Foreign
Power preferreds pushed up to
around S points. Ahead were In
ternational Telephone Patino Mines,
Eastman Kodak, Budd Mfg, Int>-
national Harvester, Goodyear Santa
Fe and Woolworth. Most steels, mo-
tors. aircrafts, coppers, oils and
utilities were about unchanged to a
shade lower.

onization sent to Rome, Mother Seton was Protestant born and became a convert to Catholicism only in her widowhood with family of five children. She was born in New York City August 28, 1774, at the stormieSt time in the career of the budding Re- public. Her father, a native of Connecticut, was educated in England and become 8 famous physician. He was the first professor of medicine at Colum- bia University and the first health officer of the Port of New York.
 Elizabeth was his favorie child. He educated her himself and i'm bued in her strong religious feeling and deep sense of charity. Her mother was the daughter of an Anglican minister on Staten Island. Her sister-in- law, Rebecca Seton, was a wo- man much of her own kind and the two were so unremitting in their good works among the poor of New York they became known as the Protestant Sisters of Charity
 Search of all the Catholic Church records failed to find any record of Mother Seton'S baptism. Rome insisted on proof that she had Christian baptism. In scrutinizing her writings 8 sister at Seton Hall, Pa, came across notation in the margin of a leaf of ''The Imitation of Christ" in Mother Seton's own handwriting. Mother Seton especially cherish ed this book and in the margin had expressed her thankfulness for having been washed by the waters of Baptism" This writing was then forwarded, together with other documents, to Rome and the matter of baptism record was waived.
 The Rev. Salvatore Burgio, c. M., of St. Joseph's College, Em- mittsburg, Md, is the Postula- tor for Mother Seton's cause. He is unremitting and tireless in his promotion of her canoniza- tion.
