SERVICEMEN LEARN ABOUT ICELAND American servicemen in Ice land have found themselves in the midst of a civilization older than their own. Iceland has sev en times as many books per capita as the United States. It has almost no illiteracy. School children must learn four lan guages besides their own—Eng lish, German, French and Danish. In Iceland, the whole American garrison is housed in a series of corrugated galvanized iron huts that look like over-sized water mains split in two, cupped against the ground and anchored to prevent the occasional 100- mile-per-hour winter wind from blowing them away. Icelanders hope that these iron huts may serve them as Ijarns and even as houses—after the Americans are through with them. BRAZIL GIVES U. S. COFFEE The armed forces of the U. S. recently received approximately 53,000,000 pounds of coffee from Brazil. This gift, freshly roasted, now is going 'to the American soldier in all parts of the world. By grinding and roast ing coffee at overseas bases, much valuable shipping space is saved and fighting men receive coffee of full' strength, flavor and aroma. AUSTRALIANS BUILD FOR AMERICAN USE The Australian allied works council spent $182,000,000 on public works from February 26, 1942, through June. 1943. Of this amount, more than one-third was used on work for American forces. The building of one large airfield was begun six hours aft er the Americans asked for it and was ready for bombers 17 days later. Most spectacular item on the program is the Tocumwal re pair and assembly depot which has 608 buildings and covers more' than 16 square miles. Nine weeks after work started, the de pot was ready for the first American plane to land. The council also has built on air craft hospital for American army planes, a hospital for American forces at Sidney, and is now building a trans-shipment base for American forces unloading material sent from America. "BATTLE BABY” EDITIONS PRINTED FOR SERVICEMEN The special services division of the U. S. army recently in augurated a plan of procuring “battle baby” editions of 24 magazines to be distributed to all posts, large and small, over the world. The magazines were chosen as a result of a survey of the men’s tastes. Stripped of all advertising, most of them are published on thin paper and on formats of greatly reduced size, although the type is legible. These editions are available only to servicemen overseas. MEXICAN LABORERS SUPPLIED U. S. Mexico is expected to supply 75,000 workers to the United States in 1944. GERMAN PEASANTS GET APPEAL In a recent speech, the Ger man secretary of state 'in the ministry of agriculture appealed to German peasants to increase the output of potatoes, oilseeds, dairy products and feed for live stock. He warned the peasants that “the longer the war lasts, the more severely and the more absolutely must German peas ants fulfill their duty of sur rendering (their produce).” PANAMA LAUNCHES TO-FARM PROGRAM BACK- Panama is launching a “back- to-the-farm” program to re-es tablish thousands of farm labor ers who migrated to the canal zone to work on war-time con struction and who won’t be need ed when construction stops. The ministry of agriculture proposes to establish 20 breeding and dip ping stations in the Chiriqui and Los Santos provinces. Breed ing stock from the United States will be crossed with native stock.

For instance, we think you’ll like Des- sy’s best as a place to relax and get your fav orite drinks. You can not pass by such a cheerful, friendly tav ern. Dessy’s Tavern Mike and Marge White Managers “UNCOOPERATIVE” FARMERS PENALIZED German authorities in Holland have ordered confiscation of lands and cattle stocks of “un cooperative” farmers who “neg lected their duty” in delivering quotas of their products to the authorities or who “purposely” withheld products to sell them clandestinely. The order also ap plies to those who "cultivate their lands or manage their stocks inefficiently.” Our boys must keep on fight ing—we must keep on buy ing WAR BONDS until vic tory is won.
