Mrs. America Meets the War Rayon to Mrs. America these days primarily means stockings, but to Uncle Sam it means war goods— cords for military tires, cords for parachutes, material for paratroop uniforms and lining for military uniforms. Perhaps you wonder how that delicate material in stockings or dress materials can be toughened to a war job. Actually the same ingredients and manufacturing tech nique are used for rayon as milady knows it and as it goes to war. The weight is the main difference and it is made superstrong for its military role. So far it has not been neces sary to prohibit the manufacture of any rayon product because of its expanding use for war. However, the range of hosiery colors has been reduced, and some simplification of construction may follow. welcome the office of price admin istration action in setting new and uniform margins 'for retailers on nine food commodities — coffee, canned fish, cooking and salad oils and hydrogenated and other short ening, corn meal, canned citrus fruits and syrup, flour and flour mixes. The uniform mark-ups will be applied to his net cost by your storekeeper to determine his ceil- ing prices. This is a part of the OPA program designed to simplify price control for Mrs. America as well as her grocer. It is expected that this uniform ma k-up procedure will be followed by broader action on other products. Vernonia Eagle See my bargain* in Kiln Dried Lumber at $12 per M and up.

Packaging is the latest civilian convenience to lose more frills for the duration. The war production board has cut the production of boxes used by retail merchants for packaging merchandise and at the same time restricted the quality of paperboard which can be used in the manufacture of special gift box es.

Today, he is foreman of the riveting department at Bethlehem’s San Pedro Yard, which received the Army-Navy "E” January 26th. Foreman Miller was one of three employes accepting the “E” pins in a token award. The two submarines shown above, the U. S. S. Pike (top) and the U.S.S. Grampus (below) were among the first combat vessels Miller helped build. The undersea craft were constructed 40 years ago at the present Bethlehem shipyard in San Francisco. This type submarine, weighing but 121 tons and with an overall length of only 63 feet, was long ago abandoned by the U.S. Navy as impractical. Japanese imitations of this early U. S. type submarine have been used unsuccessfully in the present war by the enemy. store inventories. Her home-like merchant will be able to have a better stock of goods from which she can choose since the order is in tended to make a more equitable distribution of goods instead of al lowing them to accumulate in ware houses.

FERTILIZER MAKE THAT SERVICE MAN HAPPY With A Subscription to The Vernonia Eagle It’» a big task to write in your letters all the news he likes to hear. It’s much easier to subscribe to the paper so he’ll get ALL the news EVERY week. (Of course you’ll keep on writing.) • • Does he appreciate receiving the hometown paper? You bet he does, judging from letters that say, “It seems just like a visit to old Vernonia,” and “seeing an old friend.” Those boys don’t want to miss out on what is going on here. When they come back, they’ll say: “Oh, yea, I know about that; I read it in the Eagle.” DON’T PUT IT OFF LOST — Package containing ski sweater, white shirt and sox on Vernonia bus Thursday night.

Knight» of Pythias Harding PHYSICIAN and SURGEON FARM FRONT VICTORY The size of the victory American farmers scored on the food produc tion front in 1942 is even larger than first reported. Final USDA figures show the 1942 output of livestock and livestock products up 12 per cent over 1941, as compared with goal of 9 percent, and total ag ricultural production more than 12 per cent, double the goal. Total cash farm income is estimated at close to 16 billion. CARE 10% OF INCOME PRIORITIES Steps are being taken to make adequate supplies of fertilizer avail able for the more essential food crops, with potatoes heading the list. Indications are the “warcrops” will get first priority on fertilizer supplies.
