President Roosevelt asked Congress
for a supplemental appropriation of
$6,687,000,000 for the war depart
ment including $3,720,000,000 for
ordnance and $779,000,000 for the
air corps. Army chief of ordnance
Wesson speaking in Harttford, Conn.,
said U .S. light and medium tanks
have greater fire power, maneuvers,
bility and speed than European mo
dels as well as “ many times the
powers of endurance.” He said the
ordnance department has also devis
ed a light anti-tank artillery piece
"capable o f kno-riring out any known
tank at vary great ranges.”

The Xmas shopping season is on.
Business analysts all predict that it
will be one o f the biggest and busiest
Christmas seasons in the history of
this country. More people are work
ing. Incomes! are higher. And in spite
of the uncertainty about the future
or perhaps because o f it, most people
are expected to do more spending this
year than they have done for a long
time.
The tragedies abroad, the increas.
ing threat o f war for this country
and labor difficulties will continue
to be o f deep concern to the people
o f this nation but those stories will
be skipped over a little faster as wo
men burry to the advertisements of
Christmas gifts.
Americans never have let any
thing interfere with Xmas and Xma^
giving. Even during tthe height of
the depression Christmas was a big
spending season. But this year with
the nation’s purchasing power being
sky-rocketed by defense jobs the
stores will be taxed to capacity to
fill the demands of the public.
Popular gift items which are made
o f steel, rubber, tin .chrommium, al_
uminum and other defense materials
may be scarce or unavailable this
year but there will still be plenty of
appropriate gift items for every mem
ber o f the family. Celluloid wrapping
may not be easily obtained but that
will be because o f the defense pro
gram too.
None o f us are going to worry ah-
out the few things we can't get this
year when there is still such a wido
choice o f gifts in the store«. But be
cause of scarcities and because o f ex
panding purchasing power it is ex
pected that many gift items may be
sold out long before
