MERCHANTS ASKED
TO CONSERVE PAPER

Cooperation of all Wilmington
retail merchants in the conserva-
ton of paper supplies was urged
yesterday by Walter ]. Cartier,
executive secretary of the cham
Der of commerce.
1.-THE War Production board
Cartier said, has established the
fact that the needs Of the mill
tary services for paper and pape,
products for overseas opera tons
are so great that the remaining
supply is not adequate to provide
for the present rate of civilian
consumption.
'While it is reasonably certain
that there is enough paper to sat-
isfy civilian needs, there is none
for uses that are not absolutel
necessary. The vigorous prosecu,
ton OF the war and the satisfac
ton of essential civilian requirr
ments demand that every possible
effort be made to conserve paper
and to avoid non-essential uses
and waste.''
Retailers may have their waste
paper gathered up by the Bri-
gade Boys club by dialing 1857.

Why Civilians Can't Find
Butter on Market
BY PRUDENCE PENNY

CIVILIANS ARE going 10 be
virtually dependent upon day
to-day production for their but
ter during the next few months
or so because the butter IN
storage-snd available 10 CT
villains has shrunk to the lowest
level in % years or more.
Owen NJ Richards. manager
of the American Dairy AsSoci-
alton, explained that on Sept.
only one pound of butter was
in stockpile for civilians for
every Is pounds that would
have been available at a com
parable date in peacetime
years.
II Is the butter stored up
during peak production months
of spring that normally helps
10 keep American tables sup
piled during the low production
months of fall and early winter,
Richards explained.
The total butter in storage
Sept. l was only $4,000, 900
pounds-well below the five
year average of 178000,000
pounds.
Goes 10 Servieemen
Moreover" Richards said.
butter is in such demand for
our fighting men that $4,000, 900
pounds of the $4,000, 000-
pound butter stockpile is eSti-
mated TO have been owned by
the army; and another 10000
600 pounds belong 10 other
government agencies. This left
only 100000 pounds in stor-
age for civilians, compared with
$4,000, O00- pound stockpile--
wholly for civilians-in peace
time years.
Even though the government
has announced that IL will dis
continue buying butter next
month, until production climbs
in the spring, Richards said the
immediate outlook is for a con-
tinued shortage for civilians.
In addition to the stockpile
shrinkage, current production
of butter. always lower at this
season, is running about 10 per
cent under last years output
at this time.
Milk Output the Same
Richards pointed out that the
decline in butter output is due
principally TO wartime diversion
of butterfat away from butter,
and is not the result Of any lag
in milk production. Farmers
have maintained milk output at
a rate approximating that of
1943 which was only slightly be-
low the all time record produced
in 1912.
Richards reported that sur
vey by the American Dairy AS
ISOLATION showed many home
makers seemed to think that

Now is the time for craftsmanship.
These next months will reveal the men OF
moral stature who will speak out fear
lessly to the people on the basic needs OF
America. Men who will bring us all back
to the unchanging moral standards that
made America a democracy. Men who
won't be swayed by pressure, by fear OF
insecurity, or by appeals to self-interest.
Men who say what they mean and mean
what they say. Such statesmen will have
the philosophy to unite America above
every difference. They will release into
the life of the nation the dynamic force OF
a new spirit in homes, unions, industry
and government.
"The time is ripe for an appeal, not to
self-interest. but to the hunger for great
living that lies deep in every man, SAID
Senator Harry S. Truman after seeing a
special presentation of the Moral Re
Armament industrial drama, ''The For
gotten Factor" for labor and management
leaders in Philadelphia.
"What Americans really want is not a
promise of getting something for nothing,
but a chance to give everything for some
thing great. We want something we can
fight for in war and peace-somethlng
not confined to combat areas or election
campaigns. We need this spirit Of
Moral Re-Armament in industry. We
need it in the nation. With it there Is
no limit to what we can do for America
and America for the world
America needs an incentive for the
postwar as powerful as the will to win
the war That incentive lies in every
American knowing Americas destiny and
his part in it, and Of creating democracy
that will provide the pattern for all ma
tions. This must be the passion in the
heart of every American Whatever party
wins. this idea must win and be the di-
recting force in the lives Of millions. with
it we can create a new spirit in the nation
that will not only solve our postwar
problems but usher in the new age OF
teamwork that the world is waiting for.

THE TIME is RIPE FOR
CRAFTSMANSHIP

With the political conventions over
America starts out on the decisive phase
of campaign that will vitally affect the
future of the ordinary man and his family
for years to come.
Whichever party wins, America must
emerge from this election stronger and
more united than ever to face the colossal
problems of the postwar. With this
country facing the possibility OF mass
unemployment, labor has brought for
ward plans to meet it. But the problem
is too gigantic to expect blueprints, new
legislation, and trade expansion alone to
solve it.
We are not simply dealing with graphs
and figures but with the unpredictable
human factors-130 million of them, and
millions more across the world. Back OF
everything there must be the will, the
heart, the spirit and the teamwork to cure
the bitterness, antagonism and selfish
ness that threatens to sabotage the best
paper plans.

Labor News Is Given
Praise for Editorial

The Montana Labor News has once
more demonstrated its courage and de-
cency in answering another pernicious
lie Of the kept press in this state When
a recent issue Of Golfers magazine car
ried story exposing the Nazi activities
of Senator Burton K Wheeler and
touching upon the notorious manner in
which Montana has been raped and
exploited for profit at the expense Of our
people and our natural resources, the
Anaconda company press Immediately
tried to cover up by getting a respect
able" authority to refute the Golfers
expose.
DR.. Renne, head of the state college
in Bozeman, was chosen for the job
His ridiculous article, prominently pub
lished in the company press, leaves nc
doubt as to where his economic inter
ests lie. The Montana Labor News, July
27 issue, did a good job Of mailing this
two bit Goebbels.
Sincerely,
VIM, NcMURPHY.
