Increase In Butter
The War Food Administrator has
fixed the butter set aside quota

government purchase) for April at
40 per cent of production, and for
May at SIS per cent of production
Previously, during February and
March, the set aside percentages
were 20 and Is per cent. respec-
lively. Efforts are being made to
maintain butter production and to
keep the available civilian sup
plies flowing into trade channels
on fairly even monthly basis. Dur
ing April and May quantities of
creamery butter for civilians will
be about 100000 pounds as COM
pared with an average of about
100000 pounds during February
and March.

home use. In 1915 no stamps will
be validated for canning sugar.
Housewives will be given sugar
coupons for home canning by their
local boards. Each housewives
home canning sugar allotment will
be based ON the amount of canning
she did last year and the amount
she plans to do this year. She will
be allowed up to a maximum of 20

to single family, even though the
family may contain more than eight

Farm Gasoline
The nations food growers will
get extra gasoline for non-high-
way use during the second quarter
of 1915, says PAW. Petroleum Ad-
ministrator Harold L. Ickes has an
nounced the ALLEGATION of 1,276,O00
barrels of automotive gasoline a
day for u. S. civilian consumption
in the second quarter of 1945, COM
prising the months Of April, May
and June Compared with the quar-
tity of gasoline made available to
civilians in the corresponding quar-
ter of 1914, the new ALLEGATION is
$4,000 barrels a day greater, the
additional fuel being assigned to
the War Food Administration for
farm use. Commenting on this,
Deputy Administrator Davis said:
1.-The quantity Of gasoline requir-
ed for non-highway farm use al
ways rises sharply in the second
quarter to provide fuel for spring
blowing, cultivating and planting,
and we have provided for that in
crease as usual. This year we were
asked for an unusually large guam
tity, with the explanation that it
was hoped to enlarge the produc-
tive farm acreage of our country
by about 10000 acres. There has
been an increase in the number
of tractors added to the nations
farm equipment, and we are in
formed that plans have been work

the realization that he would be signing the

An Appeal to

Approximately 1000 wounded and

them.
The nursing shortage is so des-
perate that II ships which normally
carry complement of nurses for
overseas duty had to sail without
them. In actual numbers, they were
short 913 nurses.
Virtually all the nurses who could
be spared have been shipped, with
the result that at Walter Reed and
most Army general hospitals, one
Army nurse Is assigned to 40 pa

Hospital corpsmen who used to
relieve nurses Of some duties on the
wards are being sent overseas al
most as fast as they can be trained.
The nurses get close to the fighting
fronts. The corpsmen get even
closer.
That's the picture-more wounded
coming back every day, more cas-
ualties stepping up the demand for
additional nurses overseas, over
worked nurses trying to carry on in

the ocean with less and less help
from hospital cOrpSmen.
