TIN SCARCITY HITS
FOOD PRODUCTS HARDEST

HELENA, July 31-A 70 per cent
drop in available supplies of pig
tin since January l, 1912, precludes
the possibility of releasing any tin
for current reconversion. WPB an
nounced today. This scarcity hits
tins greatest use for shortening,
coffee, dog food, canned goods,
tooth paste and shaving cream.
Civilian demand, sharpened by
four years of slim tin diet. would
quickly consume available reserves
if unrestrained by government re-
strictions to safeguard military
uses, WPB said. The average pre-
war automobile, for instance, used
eight pounds per car. Accordingly,
an ordinary four million car year
would use approximately IS per
cent of the current available stock
pile.
The outlook for an early substan-
tial increase in tin production does
not appear bright, even in the event
of an early surrender of Japan, ac-
cording to WPB. If japan surren-
dered in 1945, WPB predicts that
our Far Eastern imports would only
amount to 5000 tons of tin concen-
trates by the spring og l847, and
$4,000 tons by the spring of l948.
This time lag reflects the expect
ed period required to place the
mines in operation. These estimates
are also based on the assumption
that the United States would re-
ceive the total output of the Meth
erlands East Indies. Such condi-
ton is highly predetermined. WPB

When combination packages are
made up, including miscellaneous
toilet articles, hard candies, soaps,

covered with chocolate), cookies,
fruit cake, and chocolate bars in
dividually wrapped in waxed paper,

that the outside addresses be hand

Board and the Office of Price Ad-
ministration announced today.
A production rise of civilian shoes
containing leather in the uppers or
soles to approximately 26,000,000
pairs per month during the fourth
quarter of 1945 is expected to re-
suit from the freeing of substantial
quantities of cattlehide upper leath-
er and corresponding amounts of
sole leather by curtailments under
way in the military program.
OF this amount, it is estimated
that there would be available for
rationing to civilians in the United
States some 24,000,000 pairs a
month. This is because about g.
100000 pairs of these shoes pro-
duced every month do not come
under the rationing program.

All indications are, that Juneau
will be a most unbusy place-as fan
as business is concerned--next Mon
, day.
With November IL, Armistice Day
J falling on Sunday, the law provides
for all Territorial offices to close the
next day and that also is to be the
procedure for Federal and City Of
fices.
The Chamber of Commerce has
gone on record for the closing OF
stores and private business offices
and banks already are lined up to
belt their doors-so, housewives ana
ether shoppers are forewarned to
lay in supplies for a long weekend;
that is, unless they can depend upon
their menfolk to head into the hills
and come back with venison.
Hotels, bars, restaurants, theaters
and such service places will be just
about all that will stick to regular
hours, as liquor stores and druggists
are expected to keep holiday times.
But, the Daily Alaska Empire will
be published as usual.
