(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

ments. Production and Conversion

Second Series 'Foods
For Victory' Meets
Set March 13-16
Mrs. Kathleen Ball
and County Agent
Lead Discussions
The second series of Food for
Victory meetings will be held from
March 13 to 16, announces C. 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.
