VETERANS
FIND JOBS
QUICKLY
Of the 11,516 veterans who
applied for jobs, 6,361 found
work immediately during a dem­
onstration program open in Jan­
uary by the U.S. employment
service, the war manpower com­
mission announced. This service
for veterans will be continued
and expanded to USES local of­
fices throughout the country,
where veterans will be permitted
to shop around before deciding
on a job. Job opportunities for
physically handicapped veterans
from this war will be better than
they were for the handicapped
veterans of the last war, in the

FARMERS TO GET
MORE SUPPLIES
Of approximately 3,000 far­
mers interviewed in a recent sur­
vey, nearly half reported they
had no trouble in buying any
item on a list of 43 essential
articles—ranging from flashlight
batteries to cream separators,
WPB announced. As a result of
production programs previously
approved by WPB’s office of civ­
ilian requirements, supplies of
the following items have been in­
creased—flashlight, fence control
and ignition batteries; “cresent”
and monkey wrenches; grease
guns; hand drills; floor brooders;
and cream separators. In addition
farmers are now permitted to
borrow engine and tractor fuel
storage tanks from their petro­
leum suppliers.
WOMEN URGED TO
CARRY SHOPPING BAGS
American housewives may help
avert the critical shortage of
store bags and wrapping paper
expected during the next few
months by carrying shopping bags
or baskets when marketing and
by reusing paper bags whenever
possilbe, WPB says. Small and
boxed articles should be accepted
unwrapped and several purchases
from the same store should be
put all in on bag. The current
allocation of bags and wrapping
paper is less than one third of
prewar supplies.

opinion of WMC. Based on recent
studies, placements of handicap­
ped workers in 1943 were ap­
proximately seven times the num­
ber placed in 1940. A large pro­
portion of the physically handi­
capped require only careful job
placement. Veterans will' be hired
in OPA offices and boards thru-
out the country as rapidly as
vacancies occur. About 2,500 vac­
ancies occur each month.

CHILD HEALTH
DAY TO BE OBSERVED
Groups of American boys and
girls in high school, boy and girl
sccut troops, victory corps and
other organizations are planning
to hold forums on May 1, Child
Health Day, to talk about improv­
ing the health of young people,
the department of labor child-
ren’sbureau announced.
ROUND-UP
The department of agriculture
says—eggs, beets, and carrots
head the list of plentiful foods
over most of the country, fol­
lowed by potatoes, citrus fruits,
citrus marmalade, lard, frozen
vegetables and baked beans, can­
ned green and waxed beans, and
peanut butter ... A crop of
about 2,800,000 sacks of onions
is expected this year, compared
with 1,708,000 sacks in 1943 . . .
Spare stamp 37 in war ration
book four, and not Sugar stamp
37 should be attached to applica­
tion for 1944 canning sugar . . .
Frequent rains, snows, or cold
weather during March have de­
layed farm work in nearly all
states . . Since lettuce crops are
damaged if allowed to go dry,
soil in the lettuce row should be
kept just damp enough so it can
be formed into a balll without
crumbing ... As our military
successes increase and the Allies
liberate more territory, we must
expect heavy demands for food,
which will continue for an in­
definite period. . . Per capita
consumption of cigarettes in the
U.S. last year was at the highest
level on record. Consumption of
snuff increased over the preced­
ing year and consumption of
smoking tobacco, cigars, and
chewing tobacco decreased.
OPA says—new “factory sec­
onds” passenger tubes may be
purchased without a rationing
certificate, and motorists eligible
for used passenger tires (grade
III) may now obtain new “fact­
ory seconds” passenger tires . . .
A larger amount of dairy feed
probably will be available to far­
mers in feed deficiency areas as
a result of a new maximum
price regulation

Prices, which remained rela­
tively stable during the past two
years
on coal, lumber, news­
print, and other basic industrial
products, showed a gradual in­
crease in recent months, the sec­
retary of labor reports. Food
prices, which previously had ad­
vanced the most, have been re­
duced 6 per cent. Prices for
clothing, house furnishings, fuel,
and services have moved up—the
largest increase being in clothing.
The cost of living as a whole,
however, declined 0.6 percent in
the first two months of 1944.

Oregon Urged To
Elect Holman
“Oregon has been singularly
fortunate in having during the
last few years the influential
leadership of the late Senator
Charles L. McNary and Senator
Rufus C. Holman in the United
States Senate,” said Jerry Sayler,
executive secretary of the Keep
Senator Holman Committee, in
urging the renomination of Sen­
ator Holman.
“With the unfortunate passing
of Senator McNary, Oregon suf­
fered the loss of both his high
committeeship ana his leader­
ship,” continued Sayler.
“Consequently it is doubly vi­
tal now that we renominate and
re-elect Senator Holman in order
that Oregon may retain his pow­
erful committees and influence,
for under the seniority rule of
the senate it will take McNary’s
successor years to attain a major
committee post.
Holman on Committee
“Senator Holman is a member
of the powerful committee on ap­
propriations before which must
come every appropriation for the
development of Oregon’s resourc­
es and the improvement of its
harbors, rivers, ports, and high­
ways — the only member from
the states of Oregon, California,
Washington, Idaho, Montana, and
Colorado.
“In addition Senator Holman is
a member of the important com­
mittees on military affairs, manu­
facturers, public lands, immigra­
tion and rules, all of them vital
to the welfare of Oregon.
“It was due to Oregon’s wise
policy in re-electing Senator Mc­
Nary again and again that he
was able to become leader of his
party in the senate.
“The Holman committee is car­
rying on an active campaign in
behalf of the Senator with a
statewide committee functioning
smoothly,” according to Sayler.
