try on foreign battlefields. The war
department has announced that un
der certain conditions photographs
of children under one year of age

for overseas duty, may be sent by
v-mail. The regulation form must
not be altered in any way and the

more than one-third of the corres
pondence space on the v-mail form.
The photograph must appear on the

I-
Having Trouble Getting Help t
So arc we. Like you, we're faced with the biggest
(nroduction job in our history. And, like you, we'vs
ost many of the men who used to help us.
Yet .that's only part of the story. Every day, on
farm and factory, there's something new to test
the skill of those running the business. Not only get
ting help, but to mention a few others rising costs
making a fair profit, and setting aside reserves for a
rainy day. Essentially, those problems are the sanv )'
for farm and factory, though they may at times diffe. :
Va size.
But it is that thing called "management, that
peculiarly American ability to think through problems
po matter how tough, that is helping to see us through
today. .
It is this skill in management that farmers and
businessmen have most in common, a skill which
insures the realization of our determination to
produce all that's needed for our country today, and,
tomorrow, to make a fair Jiving through greater serv
ice to our fellow Arm ricans. General Electric Company,

More Fats
needed
Save every drop of fats and grease. Your
country needs every bit of it in the manu
facture of munitions. Use what you nqed,
of course, but put every bit you can spare
into a can and bring it to our market. We
will weigh it up and pay you for it.
And here's just a little hint: The
meat you buy . from this market
not only gives you added strength
to carry on the war effort but gives
you the necessary fats for your
cooking and good returns for the
salvage grease can.
