NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The cot
ton textile civilian supply picture
became tighter this week after a
quartermaster depot request for o.
100000 yards of cotton goods for
delivery in the first quarter and re-
portedly for Philippines relief needs.
Inquiry was for denirns, dress fab
RIGS and sheetings. Civilian busi-
ness was at a lstandstill except for
scattered lots of print cloths, sheet
lings and osnaburgs released on high
priority.
The major part of mill output was
snapped up by Government agencies
for military or high priority essen
tial civilian purposes. A substan-
tial volume of print cloths was
placed with more orders pressing as
the quartermaster depot raised its
quota from 100000 to %, ,969, ,O0o

Railroads Battling Heaviest Snow in so Years;

Quebee's Slopes Seen Paradise to Skiing Fans

Railroad service is vital to vic

This is the slogan on one of the
railroads 1945 calendars and never
has it been better exemplified than
during the last 10 days in which
railroad workers have been battling
the elements to keep war freight
moving to the many war fronts.
Through Northern New York
westward the snowfall concededly
is the heaviest in SO years of rail-
road annals. In Buffalo, N. Y, the
SNOW level" 10 days ago was feet
and it has showed three times since.
At Marion, Ohio, the level" was 62
inches. This means, to any one who
knows this section of the country,
that drifts run from 20 to "a feet
high.
Not only has it been a question of
the big rotary plows clearing the
tracks, but of battling their way into
sidings to pull out long lines of
freight cars buried beyond vision by
the snow.
Heroic, indeed, have been the hun
dreds of freight brakemen, most of
whom count up their years in terms

Up to this year the railroads could
plan on hooking up an extra car or
two on trains running South and
some dozens could get last-minute
reservations. This is all over now,
as the ODT has banned the placing
Of additional cars on such runs. The
only hope of such a would-be ticket
purchaser Is a cancellation-and
these, too, are a rarity.
Still, there are the coach trains
and it seems there are other thou
sands who will sit or stand for 20 or
more hours with the hope they may
rest on a sunny beach for fortnight
thereafter.
And there's no use of warning
these folk that they'll be forced to
sit or stand for the same number
of gruelling hours on the way back.
A recent tour through the eastern
townships of the Province of Quebec
discloses that skiing on fine powder
snow Is at its best. The hills over
looking Sherbrooke, CRANKY, North
Hatley and Magog provide fine pow
der snow and virgin slopes where
novice and expert alike find condi-
tions suited to their skiing abilities
in brilliant sunshine and romantic
surroundings.
This region, one of the most ric-
turesque in Quebec, has always been
looked on as winter sports para
disc, since it provides excellent snow
conditions until early spring.
Sun glasses and visors are recon-
mended to guard against reflected
ultra violet rays A sun oil will give
one a good tan and prevent burns.
But it is good to remember that the
suns violet rays, reflected
from the snow, furnish the body with
plenty of vitamins E. adding extra

of the mans measure as given
by people who have worked

They admit frankly that Tru-

Election on the time than on the

Comparisons always being
odious, it is perhaps impossible
to try to stack up Truman be-

entirely different types of men.
There are millions of men like
Truman. There was only one
Roosevelt. But Roosevelt had
his weaknesses and Truman had
his strong points which Roose-
