LlG ¡PEANUT CROP NEEDED One automobile pushing another across a railroad grade crossing is a dangerous pastime, and that is the way it turned out in the acci dent illustrated here. A truck was immediately behind the automobile and there was evi dence that the truck had been pushing the automobile as it ap proached the crossing. Whistle signals were sounded al most continuously in this case and the signals were heard by several witnesses. Regardless of whether the automobile was being operated under its own power or was being pushed by the truck, reasonable precautions would have averted the accident. ‘ The National Sa-ety Council Is conducting a special campaign to stop these grade crossing accidents, which every day delay 38 trains a total of 22 hours—a big blow to the nation’s wartime transporta dents, according to the Council, —the Council asks you to be sure tion facilities. Driver carelessness is the cause To help win the war—to save your- the track is clear before you start of almost all grade crossing acci- self and others needless suffering across. .A be reduced by 50 percent during the last four months of this year. LEGAL AID TO SOLDIERS BEING PROVIDED FATHERS TO BE DRAFTED AFTER OCTOBER Fathers 18 to 37 years old, with children born before September 15, 1942, will ,be reclassified to make them available for induction into the armed forces after Oc tober. Fathers will be drafted only when it is necessary to fill a lo cal board’s quota—they will be called without distinction regard ing the number or ages of their dependent children—those who are “key men” in agriculture or essen tial industry will be deferred and those whose induction would cause extreme hardship and privation to their families will be deferred. RATIONING OF HOME-CANNED FOODS EXPLAINED Each person in your family may give away as much as 50 quarts of home-canned food during any calendar year without collecting ration stamps. Any food which is sold does not qualify as a gift, however, and points must be col lected for all sales at the rate of eight points per quart (4 points per pound). Home-canned food contributed to school lunch pro grams and similar services is in cluded in the 50 quarts. More than 50 quarts may be given away provided ration stamps are col lected for all gifts exceeding that number. The stamps should be turned in to your local ration boards. COLLECTION OF WASTE FATS REACHES ALL-TIME HIGH Waste kitchen fat collections throughout the country totaled 8,- 440,274 pounds during the month of June, setting an all time high mark since the inauguration of I 4 this program in July, 1942. WPB has reported. The total collected is still not sufficient to meet war demands. WPB region I, comprised of the New Emgland states ranked first in pounds collected per oc cupied dwelling. U. S. BUDGET ESTIMATES MADE BY GOVERNMENT Government budgetary estimat es for the fiscal year 1944 esti mate total expenditures for tlie year, excluding debt retirement and trust fund disbursements, at 106 billion dollars and net receipts at 38 billion dollars. The expect ed deficit of 68 billion dollars will bring the public debt above 200 billion dollars by next June 30. In the fiscal year just ended, actual expenditures were 80 billion dol lars, actual receipts 22 billion dollars, or a deficit of 58 billion dollars. A hundred billion dollars will be needed for war expendi tures during the fiscal year 1944, compared with 75 billion dollars actually spent for war in 1943. The war department is expected to spend less and the navy depart ment and other agencies are ex pected to spend more for war than was estimated in January. MORE WOOLENS ADDED TO CIVILIAN SUPPLY Several million men’s mackinaw and melton work jackets, children’s legging sets, blankets and other needed items of men’s, women’s and children’s apparel will be add ed to the civilian supply this wint er as a result of a program arriv ed at jointly by WPB and the war department.

S. and abroad, the war department announced re cently. At each of the legal as sistance offices, commissioned of ficers of the judge advocate gen eral’s department, army service forces, who are also licensed at torneys, are on duty. During a recent period 50 typical legal as sistance offices reported that since their establishment they have as sisted military personnel in a to tal of 24,000 matters. MORE BUTTER FOR CIVILIANS AVAILABLE Approximately 16 million paunds of butter in addition to the a- mount scheduled for August will be available to civilians this month the war food administration has announced. Previously, 40 percent of production was to be set aside for government purchase. This has beeij reduced to 30 percent. LAPEL BUTTONS TO SIGNIFY HONORABLE DISCHARGE An honorable discharge from the army during the present war will be signified by a lapel button, the war department has announced. Both men and women, whether of ficers or enlisted personnel, will be eligible to wear the button if they hold an honorable discharge. SIGNAL CORPS NEEDS EQUIPMENT Photographic and short-wave ra dio equipment purchased from private owners is now in service on many battle fronts as well as in the continental United States* but more of a number of specific items is greatly needed, the war department has announced. The signal corps, army service forces, has made a special appeal to per sons possessing certain high-grade or scarce items to sell them as a means of aiding the war effort. Owners who wish to offer equip ment for sale should write to Emergency Purchase Section, Phil adelphia Signal Corps Procure ment district, 5000 Wissahickon Ave., Philadelphia, Pa. Nothing should be shipped unless requested RATION BOOK THREE APPLICATIONS SENT Members of the armed services of the U. S. and of the United Nations who are eligible to use war ration book three are receiv ing application blanks from their commanding officers. Processing of these military applications and issuance of war ration book three will be completed between August 15 and September 10. The book will not be needed for buying rationed commodities until after that time. Itis estimated that ap proximately 700,000 men and wo men in the military services will be entitled to receive the book. WOOL SUPPLIES REMAIN APPROXIMATELY SAME The supply of wool for civilian wearing apparel is approximately the same as last season. To meet military demands and equip civil ians, existing wool facilities will be operated to the limit of capac ity. Manufacturers are reducing the variety of colon and counts of their yarns. Weaven are drop ping some of the non»e.<uential numbers from their lines. Mater ials will be familiar, popular, and practical types. No colon are pro hibited. a • Large increases in the produce tion of peanut butter and peanut tjl from the 1943 crop of farm ers’ stock peanuts, expected to ap proximate 1,425,000 tons-r-375,- 000' tons more than last year—are urgently needed to meet wartime requiremc..U, »ays WFA. Approxi mately 413,000 tons will be made into peanut butter—875,000 tons for civilian use and the re mainder for the army and navy. WAR EFFORT GETS FEDERAL EXPENDITURES Ninety-five cents out of every dollar of federal expenditures goes directly into the war effort, says Secretary of Treasury Mor- ganthau. This means that $36.8 billion ox the approximately $38.7 billions which President Rosevelt estimated would be received in the present fiscal year, will go to pur chase guns, tanks, ships, planes, etc. WPB AMENDMENT TO SAVE PAPER Between 250,000 and 300,000 tons of paper will be saved by amended WPB conservation order which affects all use of paper and is far more inclusive in its scope than any other paper con servation order. The paper saved, according to the WPB pulp and paper division will be utilized to better advantage in meeting war requirements and certain civil ian needs. Although the general public may have fewer fancy ar ticles made from paper, the real needs of the average citizen will not be seriously affected because plenty of utilitarian paper articles will still be available. FRUITS, BERRY PRICES INCREASED Formulas for establishing max imum canners’ prices for seven fruits, 11 berries, fruit cocktail, and the juices and nectars of the fruits and berries have been an nounced by OPA. The formulas take into account higher costs to canners and since canned fruits and berries are sold under fixed mark-ups at both wholesale and retail, it will' mean increased costs to the housewife on these items.
