Mr. and Mrs. Public in December had a “real income'' of $1.21, or an Increase of twenty-one cents on the dollar over the same 1940 month. This “real income” Is not a sub traction of cash income and expen ditures, but an average relative of these figures designed to show how living costs affect adjusted Income dollars. Cash income of Mr. and Mrs. Public in December was $1.34 for every $1 a year earlier. This gain of thirty-four cents on the dollar resulted from the following changes per dollar: wages up forty cents, and salaries twenty cents; invest ment income was up thirteen cents, and other income was up forty-tbree cents on the dollar. Rents in December were up three cents over a year ago. Food was up eighteen cents, and clothing was up ten cents. Miscellaneous Items were eleven cents higher than in Decem ber, 1940, 1942 Demands Are Tremendous dens to make way for vegetable gardens. That kind of program would result in wasted effort and materials and would discourage next year’s efforts. These family gardens are important because they will relieve the demands upon the stocks of canned vegetables and fruits. To illustrate the importance at- taChed to the garden program, let us realize that if the 6% million farm gardens in the nation produced cnly a small average of one ton of vegetables per garden, it would fill a train load of freight cars reach ing from San Francisco to New York. This average can no doubt be accomplished if we add the Kar eens of our cities and rural towns. This great quantity of food would lelieve the pressure of demands upon our canned commercial pack.

They are being broadcast through out the country in a nation-wide campaign by AAA motor clubs to reduce darkness traine accidents which last year took thousands of lives. The suggestions are: Busy The motor club leader pointed out that railroads in this area are now moving large quantities of de fense materials and supplies, includ ing explosives, and large numoers of troops.
