Civilians Assured Diet Next
Year About Equal to 1943
Military May Cut Supply
Washington, Oct. : 18. (U.R)
Farmers are filling the 1944 lar
der with record supplies of food
in what the war food adminis
tration said today was one of
the most remarkable production
achievements of the war.
Accurate food production re
ports and estimates for 1943 now
are available and ' they assure
civilians a diet in' 1944 about
equal to this year and better
than in any year except 1941
and 1942, the WFA said. .
Outlook Summtd Up
The agriculture department
and the WFA, summing up the
1944 civilian food outlook in a
report on the national food situ
ation, predicted: .
"An abundant supply of cer
eals; as many chickens, eggs,
fresh fruits and vegetables, po
tatoes, beans and peas as. this
year; food fats and oils to main
tain present ration allowances;
fewer canned fruits and veget
ables in the first half of 1944
but more in the second;' less red
meats and dairy products."
The larder is being filled with
24,000,000,000 pounds of meat,
120,000,000,000 pounds of milk,
6,000,000,000 dozen eggs, 4,000,
000,000 pounds of poultry meat,
3,000,000,000 bushels of corn,
833.000,000 bushels of wheat,
more potatoes, rice, beans, peas
and peanuts than ever before.
Many Difficulties -
That achievement, WFA offi
cials pointed out, was made de
spite labor shortages, fewer new
machines, a, cold spring and
floods, delayed plantings, . and
large areas hard-hit by a late
summer drought.
But to the favorable outlook,
WFA added this note of caution:
Civilians are not going to get
all the food they would like to
buy. Purchasing power In excess
of supplies will be at least as
high as this year. Military re
quirements may cut more sharp
ly into supplies of some foods.
Farmers are harvesting the
second largest food and feed
crops on record. Meat, milk and
other livestock products . will
total 10 per cent above the phe
nomenal record of 1942. Total
food production crops and, live
stock will be five per cent
above last year and 42 per cent
above the 1935-1939 average.
Much Going Abroad
This year the United States
will send abroad, to the military,
lend-lease and relief, one-quar
ter of total food supplies, double
1942. Next year those'shipments
will total about one-third of all
supplies. J..'::-- - I
"The 1943 civilian per capita
food supply is richer than in
1935-1939 in all the essential
nutrients and with the exception
of vitamin A and ascorbic acid,
the vitamin and mineral content
of the foods consumed will be
at least as high as in 1941 and
1942," the report said.
"The net effect of smaller
civilian supplies of meats and
dairy products in 1944 probably
will mean a diet slightly lower
in calories, protein and calcium
However, because of higher
levels of enrichment of bread
and flour now in effect, the diet
may contain more iron and the
B vitamins.

Zero Pilots Avoiding Tiffs
With Big Liberator Bombers
By Frank Tremaino
United Press Staff Correspondent.
An Advance South Pacific Base (Delayed) (U.R) America's
big B-24 Liberator bomber is establishing such a record in
Pacific aerial warfare for durability and fighting that Jap Zero
pilots now. are showing a decided reluctance to tangle with
these four-engiped craft.
She s a hell of a good fight-
ing ship," said Capt. G. E. Mar-
quart, former Oakland, Cal.,
lawyer of 835 Portole Ave.,
Alemada, executive officer of a
B-24 bombardment squadron at
this base. . .
"The Zeros have shown a
marked lack of eagerness to
jump us lately, unless they have
considerable numerical superi
ority, and even then they are
not as eager as they used to be."
Marquart revealed that his
squadron on 23 strike missions
in the last month and a nail
all in daylight has suffered no
combat losses.
"We Just don't expect to lose
bombers on daylight missions,"
he said. "We can bomb accu
rately from above the effective
range of Jap antiaircraft fire,
and the fire-power of these ships
is so great and they are so tough
that they have been able to
fight their way through Zero
interception. We think these
ships may be better fighters
than the B-17-K Flying Fortress,
and they can take a hell ol a
beating and still get home."
Effectiveness of the Libera
tors' daylight attacks is indicat
ed by one strike at the Japanese
air base at Kahili in the norm-
em Solomons in which at least
20 Jap planes were left burning
on the runway, and three hits
were registered on antiaircraft
positions.
Marquart said much of ' the
B-24s' effectiveness in aerial
combat and bombardment is due
to innovations designed by Lt.
Col. Marion Unruh, command
ing officer of the bombardment
group to which this squadron
is attached. He said Unruh's
innovations have greatly in
creased the bombers' effective
ness. Unruh, a former farmer from
Prttv Prairie. Kan., flies the
"Pretty Prairie ' Special." Re
marking that Unruh was a track
star in his college days, Mar
quart said, "He's still a runner
and he runs the legs off us to
keeD the effectiveness of this
to its highest level
Leader of the squadron is
Mai. Bvron M. (Pop) Sansom,
Jr., and operations officer is
Maj. Francis E. (Chief or Fire
Chief) Riggs, a part Cherokee
part Crow Indian from Okla
homa. Riggs. a well-built, fine-
lookine chan and "one of the
best fliers here." flies a Libera
tor decorated with an Indian
chieftain's head and called "The
Big Ch ef.'
Dogfights between bombers
are an unusual occurrence, but

when two B-24's encountered
two Jap Mitsubishi 01 two

'The B-24s knocked down one
of the Japs," Marquart said,
"damaged the other and chased
it home. Then they returned to
the spot where the first Mitsu
bishi was knocked down and
found it floating on the water,
so they strafed it until it sank."
Marquart said that in addition
to bombing missions against
such Japanese bases as Kahili,
Rekata Bay, Buka and formerly
Munda, the Liberators ' make
searches and armed reconnais
sance and also have participated
in bombardments for close of
ground troops support in co
ordinated operations with dive
bombers, torpedo bombers and
Billv Mitchell medium bombers.
"We like to bomb Buka," he
said. "That's a pretty target just
made to order for us."

Explaining the work of the
Salvation Army, Major Nettie
Brown of the local group today
pointed out that the Salvation
Army is a world-wide organiza
tion operating in over 90 coun
tries on an evangelistic and
socialistic basis. Locally the Sal
vation Army is one of the bene
ficiaries of the Community
Chest, which today started its
annual drive for funds.
"In Medford we have a corps
located at 236 North Bartlett
St.," the major stated. "A corps
in lay language is a Salvation
Army church, where our activi
ties center.
Religious Meeting
"We conduct religious meet
ings on the street and have regu
lar religious meetings inside the
corps building. In connection
with our senior work we have a
Home League, comparable to a
sewing circle in other places.
Here women volunteer once a
week to sew. Layettes are made
for mothers, garments are made
and knitted for servicemen. The
object is to create a friendlv
feeling among women and still
do constructive and beneficial
work.
'Much of our time is spent
among the young people. We
conduct Sunday school every
Sunday morning and another
young people's meeting similar
to Christian Endeavor or Ep-
worth League. Once a week we
have a Girl Guard class where
the girls are taught much the
same thing as the Girl Scouts
teach. Among other activities
for the young people we endeav
or to teach them something
about music.
'There is the recreational side
of our program for the young
people where we have parties.
hikes, games, etc. Each year the
Salvation Army operates a camp
at the Lake o' Woods for under
privileged children. This camp
has been sponsored by the late
George A. Hunt and the George
A. Hunt Theaters, and the Rogue
Klver National Forest Service
Known By Mottoes
. "The Salvation Army is
known for two striking mottoes
A man may be down but not
out" and "Others' . Probably no
other national organization has
such an understanding of the
"street" man, the broken home,
the prisoner and the under
privileged child as the Salvation
Army. The Army is not so tech
nical as it is sympathetic.
"In, Medford our relief work
is mostly with the transient and
at the present time for those
who are related to men stationed
at Camp White. The Salvation
Amy is one of the six agencies
in the National USO and at 213
West Main Street is found one of
these USO units under the di
rection of the local Salvation
Army."

POSTAL OFFICE
WITH W. U. HERE
Due to recent consolidation of
the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies, the local
office of the Postal will be
closed in the near future but for
the time being will be operated
as a branch office of Western
Union, according to Frank H.
Gray, Medford manager of West
em Union.
.When the Postal .office Is
closed, Gray said, Western
Union will have Its office either
at its present location. In the
building now occupied by Postal
or in some other place.
In time, he said, all facilities
of the two companies will be
combined and operated at one
station. All present Postal em
ployes will be retained by West
ern Union, he stated. , . . ,
"During the integration pro
cess the public will continue to
see the Postal Telegraph sign,
blue telegraph blanks and envel
opes and certain other Postal
forms which will be 'used up in
order to conserve paper, he ex
plained. '
He pointed put, however, that
all telegraph offices - will be
under the management of West
ern Union, and that telegrams
filed at any office will be han
dled over the unified system. He
said that Postal Telegraph ac
counts receivable and payable
will be taken over by Western
Union and payments for tele
graph service heretofore billed
to Postal should be made to
Western Union.
Gray said that local Postal
Telegraph employes will be
added to the Western Union ser
vice roll as of the effective date
of the merger and will receive
the same considration and bene
fits as though they had been
Western Union employes in the
past.
