TJ O a 73 to n o O 3 0 o H r A Week of the War H O 70 (Summarization of important de velopments of the week made avail able by official sources through Monday, March 2.) President Roosevelt wrote War Production Chairman Nelson, "The months just ahead are the critical months of the war. Victory de pends h large measure on the in creased war production we are able to get from our factories and arsen als in the spring and summer of 1942. "This is total war. We are all un der fire soldiers and civilians alike. We are all belligerents. To win we must fight." Chairman Nelson announced a "continuing national drive" has been undertaken "to increase production immediately in plants which now have war contracts and to convert other plants to war production as speedily and as completely as pos sible." He said the program will en tail 168 hours work per week for every machine in war plants, awards for outstanding industrial, accom plishment, and establishment of joint Labor-Management War Plant com mittees to consider suggestions "from all quarters" for increased produc tion. The president, in a radio address, said "We Americans have been com pelled to yield ground, but we will regain it. Sooq, we and not our en emies will have the offensive; we, not they, will win the final battles; and we, not they, will make the final peace. Actually we are taking a heavy toll of the enemy every day that goes by." Mr. Roosevelt said "Germany, It aly, and Japan are very close to their maximum output of planes, guns, tanks and ships. The United Nations are not especially the United States of America." He asked Americans not to stop work "for a single day . . . until the war is won," not to de mand special privileges for any one group, and to give up conveniences cheerfully when necessary. Foreign Relations Under Secretary of State Welles announces two agreements signed with Brazil to strengthen Hemi spheric solidarity and to provide Lend-Lease aid to Brazil. Ler.d Lease Administrator Stettinius re ported Lend-Lease aid for January reached $462,000,000, and actual ship ments have now exceeded two bil lion dollars. Allocations for Lend Lease purposes totaled more than $12 billion as of February 19. The U. S. and Britain signed a pact postponing indefinitely final settle ment of Lend-Lease costs. The pact commits both nations to virtually unlimited free trade, and provides final terms of the settlement "shall not be such as to burden commerce between the two countries." Mr. Welles announced the Vichy French government has given the U. S. as surances it will not aid the Axis be yond terms of the armistice agree ments. Production and Conversion The War Production Board said conversion of peacetime industrial plants to war production will be Continued on Page Four Athletic Program Urged by Educators On report of Alden Blankenship of the National Association of School Administrators convention attended in San Francisco last week, Heppner Lions Monday started a move to ward organizing a planned athletic program for the community.

D. Conrad, county agricultural agent. Planning the family food supply will be discussed by Mrs. Kathleen Ball f Oregon and Victory Gardens will be explained by the agent. The meetings are scheduled as follows and everyone is invited' to attend at the place most convenient: Hardman high school, Friday, March 13, 2 p. m. Heppner high school gym, Friday, March 13, 7:30 p. m. Lexington ' Grange hall, Saturday, March 14, 10 a. m. lone Congregational church, Sat urday, March 14, 2 p. m. Irrigon high school, Monday, Mar. 16, 10 a. m. Boardman high school, Monday, March 16, 2 p. m. Agricultural production is being geared to war needs in many ways, says Conrad. Probably one of the most valuable adjustments that has been made so far is the decision of the Oregon Victory Garden confer ence to gear their program to the needs of human nutrition. Emphasis is directed toward the production of a well-balanced garden which will provide the vegetables and fruits of highest nutritional value for the family. Garden producers are urg ed to raise adequate supplies of those vegetables which contribute more vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to the diet as an important part of the war effort to strengthen the nation. Other phases of food production such as meat, eggs, milk, and fats will also be discussed at the meetings. The following groups of vegetables are arranged in their order of im portance from the nutritional stand point: 1. Tomatoes. 2. Leafy vegetables: Cabbage, kale, spinach, mustard, turnip and beet greens, Swiss chard, Brussels sprouts, endive, lettuce, especially leaf let tuce. 3. Other green vegetables: Green btans, Italian broccoli, green pep pers, asparagus, peas. Yellow veg etables: carrots, sweet potatoes, squa.sh (yellow), rutabagas. 4. Potatoes. Farmers and garden growers are urged to raise a variety of the above vegetables. For gardeners with limited re sources, Conrad suggests that at least the following five vegetables be raised in adequate quantities, if possible: (1) tomatoes, (2) carrots (yellow squash or rutabagas if car rot seeds are not available), (3) cab bage, (4) kale or Swiss chard, (5) potatoes. Raise more vegetables that can be preserved by storage rather than by canning. This will save labor and equipment. The Victory Garden program aims at increasing the number of farm and home gardens in Oregon in 1942 by 16,000, but in such' a way as to avoid waste of materials and effort such as occurred during the depres sion. People who have had exper ience in gardening will be urged to do more of it; those without exper ience will not be encouraged to try. Everyone is cordially invited to attend the Victory Garden and Food Supply meeting and take part in the discussion. These meetings are open to the general public, including men, women and children. Howard Rea, meat cutter at the Safeway store, was joined this week by Mrs. Rea and baby son from Cor vallis. They have moved into the Zinter apartments on lower Gale street. O r- w o o m H
