JESUS ANSWERS HIS CRITICS

LESSON TEXT—Mark 2:23-3:6.GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed are ye, when

men shall revile you, and persecute you,and shall say all manner of evil againstyou falsely, for my sake.—Matthew 5:11.

Criticism and opposition was theconstant lot of our Lord as He gaveHimself in His labor of love for man-kind. It follows His disciples to thisday, for men seem to have not onlyingratitude, but an evil spirit whichrewards kindness with hard wordsand unjust accusation.

The scribes and Pharisees had al-ready found ground for their com-plaint, for He had eaten "with pub-licans and sinners" (2:16). The factthat He went there to win Matthewand to heal the sinsick (2:17) madeno difference. Then they wanted toknow why His disciples did not ob-serve a fast (2:18) in the solemnway they should. How could they,when the Lord was in their midst?They were joyful.

In our lesson we find these hating,watching enemies of our Lord'sshowing their bitterness in twoways.

I. Open Accusation (2:23-28).They got at Him this time through

His beloved disciples. It was theindirect approach so often usedby cowardly people who want to hurtsomeone, but who dare not face himsquarely. They spread evil reportsor unkind criticism about a lovedone, and thus wound the one theyhate.

Their accusation was, however, ina sense a direct one. They claimedthat He was the one who had per-mitted His disciples to violate theSabbath law by plucking and rub-bing the ears of corn to preparethem to be eaten. In other words,He had allowed them to do a secularthing on a sacred day and thus toviolate the holiness o£ the Sabbath,What they' did was not wrong, butthey did i* on the wrong day, saidthese critics.

Jesus met the charge by reaffirm-ing the high viewpoint of God con-cerning man. We have lowered ourconception of man's position, whileat the same time exalting his unde-pendable judgment.

Everything that concerns man issacred in the sight of God. Hungeris natural, God made man that way.He gets hungry on the Sabbath day,so he must have food on that day.The Sabbath was made to serve him,and he must not be harmed or hin-dered by his servant.

Now, someone will say: "Thatmeans I can do what I like on,theSabbath—or the Lord's Hay." No,it does not. What you need is right.What you desire may not be. Youare more than an animal, so youmust have more than physical restand recreation on Sunday. You aremore than a mental being, henceyou need more than culture—read-ing, music or friendship on that day.You are a sgBritual being and musthave fellowship with God.

See how nicely it all balances upwhen we go God's way. Then noth-.ing that concerns us is common orsecular. It is all sacred.

U. Silent Hatred (3:1-6).Open criticism is bad, but it be-

comes worse when it is hidden inthe heart of a watching man (v, 2),one who looks for his opportunity tostrike.

The scene is a most dramatic one.Jesus came into the synagogue onthe Sabbath day as was His cus-tom. (By the way, is it your cus-tom to go to church on Sunday?) "Inthat synagogue was a man with awithered hand. Here occurs one ofthose incidental things, which are sofull of beauty in these narratives.Seeking to-find accusation againstHim, His enemies nevertheless allunconsciously paid Him a supremecompliment. They associated Himimmediately, not with the chief seatof the synagogue, 'but with the mostneedy man hi the crowd.""

"They watched Him'* (v. 2). Theair was full of silent, malicious, cun-ning hatred. Jesus faced them withan alternative so high, so holy andexacting that they dared not speak.He pointed out that we either dogood or harm, heal or kill, by ourresponse to a human need. It can-not be ignored. What would theydo with it? Keep their strict man-made regulations, or honor God byhelping a needy one on the Sabbath?They dared not answer.

Then He healed the man. He didnot touch Mm. He did not do anywork, except a miraculous healing.But it was enough. The Herodiansand the Pharisees, who hated eachother, now became friends becausethey both hated Jesus.

What an awful picture' of whatmay be in the human heart, even inthe Lord's house on the day of wor-ship. What was in your heart whenyou last went into the church? Loveand a desire for the good of yourneighbor, or hatred and malice?

Here again our Lord declared thedignity of man in the plan of God,and placed his need above the keep-ing of a day. We are too little in-terested in the help we can give, andtoo fearful of the criticism ol others..

Enchanting Role Is-"Played by Scarfs

They Swirl IntriguinglyOver Your Shoulders.

By CHERIE NICHOLASIt is a season that puts the accent

on scarfs of every description. Asto the scarf you will wear with yourwinter fur coat it is very apt to bewhit© of some description, accord-ing to fashion's say-so. The newprinted jersey types glittered withsequins are not to be resisted either.

One could go on and on, telling oithe attractive and versatile kinds ofcasual scarfs,, to be found in theneckwear departments this season,but the scarf mat brings the newsi-est message is the dressmaker scarfthat designers create as part of thecostume scheme. These long, some-times shawl-like affairs have comein as a sort of reaction to the vogueof the slim pencil straight silhouettethat is the outstanding trend in thenewer fashions.

To counteract any tendency tosevere lines, designers rose to thesituation by adding a scarf of in-

• finite grace, leaving it up to thewearer to wield it with that feminineintuition that is never lacking whenclothes must be spiced with a bitof coquetry or endearing charm.

You will note this new fashiontrend in many of the new shortlength dresses with their entrancinglowcut necklines. One strategic ges-ture is the scarf of two long, panelssewed one end each right across thefront of a low square-cut or U-shapeneckline or if you choose, arrangedin a sort of criss-cross knotted ef-fect. The wearer is given the choiceto bring up a floating end, one overeach shoulder to flutter gracefullyout at the back or to manipulate atwill with all the flirtatious gesturesuch a charming scarf might in-spire.

As a rule these scarfs are of selffabric. For instance, the dress offine black lace has a scarf of dittolace Then too, the newest eveningprints are coming in with pic-turesque self print scarfs, variouslyarranged. So decorative are thesescarfs little or no other trimming isrequired.

Then too, you can make yourself adazzling scarf of black net to wearwith any "dressy" dress. Let it bequite shawl-like in size, say a panel27 inches wide, and a yard, and ahalf or more in length. Outline thiswith a row of sequins, which youcan get in the dress-trimming de-partments. Then spangle it overwith widely spaced single or clus-tered sequins. The use of multi-colored spangles gives a brilliantlycolorful exotic look. Match the col-or of net to your gown if you choose,and use sequins in self-same color.

Embroidered Motifs

The use of embroidery on wool isa development, that has opened upan avenue of new opportunity fordesigners to feminize tailored suitsand frocks with, effective highspotsof color and design. This wool suitis in a warm smoke-haze purple, anew shade in winter clothes. Theembroidery motifs are in tur-quoise. The nice balance theyachieve at either side of the jacketis characteristic of the techniqueemployed in applying Sesign. 'Thecuff hat, is in matching purple. Theelegant fur piece she carries is amost apropos complement to thisstunning suit.

Style NotesBlouses with self glitter are

most attractive.New prints are arriving in Ha-

waiian and Indian designs.Pastel wool dresses are trimmed

in black bead embroidery.Fashion's latest is the suit or

jacket dress of black satin.The schoolgirl crowd likes the

* * *The fighters on this Michigan

front are the operators of 188,000f armsx of which 107,000 are regard-ed as being commercial farms.Michigan's farm population totals865,000 men, women and children—quite a sizeable host.

Visualize this home front army,said the dean. You have 75 countyagricultural agents throughout thestate as key commanders. Nine ofthese men, all of whom are mem-bers of the college extension teach-ing staff, have full-time assistants.Cost of the service is financed co-operatively by federal, state andcounty governments.

"The county agricultural agenthas come into his own in publicrecognition and esteem", especiallyduring the past year, as an indis-pensible man and service in thiswar battle for foods," said DeanAnthony. "I am happy to pay themthis tribute in behalf of the farm-ers of the state."

*H ?JE . i]i

The farm prospects of 1944 areboth good and bad, as the deananalyses them. The manpowershortage still continues criticalwith little relief in prospect untilGermany collapses and military de-mobilization begins in the UnitedStates. However, the college ex-tension service did a "masterful"job in mobilizing emergency laborfor the 1943 season which wascomplicated by the bad springweather, he added, and this organi-zation work will carry over for1944."Farm machinery situation is not

radically different than last year,"continued Dean Anthony, "exceptfor repair parts. Some restrictionshave been removed. Machinery,on the whole, is a year older, andhence there will be a greater de-mand for repair parts. The farmtrucking situation isn't a bit good,to be frank"" about it. A survey wasmade recently in Wisconsin show-ing the average truck had 65,000miles of wear. No doubt Michigantrucks would show the same. Gar-ages are' short of help, and trans-portation is congested for deliveryof needed parts. The result is cost-ly delays for farmers, often attimes when trucks are needed most.

5,000,000 bushels of barley. Thisadds up to only one-half of theneeded feed for dairy cows inMichigan. The livestock picturejust isn't bright, and the recent ad-justment of the corn price ceilingmade it worse. Farmers must paymore for livestock feed, much ofwhich they simply cannot get be-cause it isn't being shipped into thestate. It's like paying more forsomething you can't get,

"On the other hand, nature fav-ored the Michigan farmer last fall,a'nd he is, ahead of his usual farmwork as of one year ago. More fallplowing was done, which willgreatly help out next spring. "VVehave had little snow, and farmershave been able to haul fertilizersto their fields. The fertilizer situ-ation is easing up a bit, by andlarge.

* * *"Generally speaking, the average

Michigan farmer is better off fi-nancially than he was a year ago,although he may have no more—if even as much—money in hispocket. This sounds paradoxical,but it's true. Farmers had higherincome, despite increased produc-tion costs, and most of them usedthis revenue to pay off old debtsand to make needed farm repairs.They may not have any more dol-lars in the bank, but they're betteroff just the same.

"Of course, I'm prejudiced in mylove for farmers, because agricul-ture is my specialty. I'm mightyproud of the important contribu-tion that the farmers of Michiganare making for victory. Truly, theMichigan farm is going' to be aleading battle front in 1944."

The farmer doesn't get into thefront page headlines as often ashis city brother. Farmers are notstriking for higher wages. Theymay grumble, as,, is their tra-ditional right when nature goesinto reverse and bureaucrats gohay-wire, but you can count onthem to get up hours before sun-rise and to finish their chores byartificial light in the evening, dayby day, all without fan-fare of pub-licity or organization ballyhoo.

The dean didn't say this, but wedo. It seems a logical observationto make in January, 1944, to thesewar-time fighters on our Michiganhome front. ,

WHAT AMERICA FACESIX YEAR AHEAD

WASHINGTON.—The official head-lines have cheered us with almostdaily victories through 1943, but anysober contemplation of 1944 musttnake us look behind them at thereality of our war effort.

In Italy, the Pacific islands andNew Guinea, we have been engagedin costly, brave but token-scale fight-ing. A very small fraction of ourmassive army has even now—amonth more than two years aftertfte war started—seen the enemy.There have been official estimatesthat 2,500,000 (possibly about a thirdof our preparing army) will be over-seas by New Year's Day.

Official pronouncements disclosethat we had four divisions in actionin Tunisia, five in Sicily, and fouror five in Italy—about 60,000 to 75,000men fighting at a time.

About half these divisions havecarried on through, so that only halfof them may be assumed to be addi-tional troops. These considerationswould furnish an estimate that alittle over 100,000 men had yet seenaction on this front.

On Guadalcanal and in the Solo-mons, three different divisions havebeen mentioned. In New Guinea,elements of two more have been of-

jflcially declared. A division is sup-j posed to have been involved at Attu.! Thus in the Pacific, the estimatej could be safely placed at aroundi 90,000 in action, plus the 19,000 regu-j lars who fought for the Philippines.: Certainly few more than 200,000j troops;--one-tenth of the land forcesupposed to be overseas now andonly an infinitesimal 2% per cent of

ithe army we have been raising and; training to beat the Axis—have yet•been turned upon the enemy.: This does not mean their fighting;has not been great and historic.i Valor and greatness in combat donot rest on numbers. Nor will any

.future action of this war be moreImportant than the work they hadto do. The only point of this coldtruth is we are still in the prepara-tory phase of this war now morethan two years after its start.REASONS FOR FORGETTING

That none of us has fully appre-ciated these facts, however, is dueto several natural reasons.

In the first place, collapse of the-:German war machine was anticipat-ed because of a shortage of oil andraw materials, and this proved un-justified.

Secondly, the air corps expected! bombings of German cities to bring;a possible capitulation due to thesame reasons, and this may comeany day, but it has not come yet.

Furthermore, it was wise and nee-.essary for us to make the Nazis, continue to believe new invasions ofEurope were imminent, in order to&eep as many Germans as possible••away from the Russian front.

Finally, the profound extent ofstubbornness in continued fruit-

less resistance to the Russians has"fceen truly amazing. Only a nation-which wants suicide could continue'to face what Germany faces with'Ethe new year.

She end of the war In Europe is%ure!y to be expected this comingyear. Fuller use of our great poweris practically promised officially,not on far scattered atolls but inconcentrated power. Places wherethe blows are to be launched havealmost officially been suggested.

Disappointments cannot continueto delay the inevitable. Yet if wecontinue only to plod along remotesandy island by island in the Pacific,and mountain by mountain in Italy,with no more than 200,000 men inaction on land, anyone can see thiswar could last interminably {thelong hard years originally forecast).

My best guess is Germany will yetcrack, and quickly, that the war inEurope will certainly end in the firstsix months of 1944, probably the firstquarter, and that Japan will lastless than a year longer.

GETTING ELECTEDAND 'TAX VOTING*

A young lawyer friend of mine inthe Southwest decided to enter poli-tics as a career. He started theright way, at the bottom, getting ihimself elected to a county board ofsupervisors.

At once, however, he raised thetax levy on all real estate in thecounty, caused an increase in the'valuations and just about doubledthe tax bill on all the people. Ithought that would nip his politicalcareer practically in embryo. But,immediately he ran for the statelegislature, and was elected almostunanimously.

Both he and I found that not asingle taxpayer resented or remem-bered his permanent doubling oftheir cost of living in his communi-ty, but a small group of individu-als whose lands were benefited bybuilding a sewer through their prop-erty, thereby increasing its value,and certain farmers who obtainedcounty, roads through their property,clearly remembered his work intheir interests—"development of thecounty," I suppose tfiey would callit—and they whooped up almostunanimous sentiment for him. Hisactions paid off.

Bails Out of Bullet-RiddenPlane Into Sea and

Is Rescued.

By CAPT. WILBUS J. THOMASMUNDA AIRFIELD. — Marine

Aviator First Lieut. Wilbur J. Thom-as of Eldorado, Kan., encountered"about 15" Zeros, blasting three ofthem out of the skies and sharinganother with his wing man. His bagof Jap planes now stands at 14.

In the middle of the fight, his bul-let-riddled Corsair (Vought F4U)_ be-gan spitting oil and the engine froze.In a few seconds he was headingdownward into the sea and bailedout, but was rescued .severalhours later.

While escorting dive bombersstriking at the Jap Kahili airdrome,Lieutenant Thomas ran into the JapZero fighters.

The first Jap he shot down camefront on at his wingman and thenpassed through the gun sights ofLieutenant Thomas, his belly in per-fect view. The marine sent a longburst of hot lead into the "Jap andhe "burst into a mass of flames."

But before he had given the finish-ing blow to the Jap, his wingmanhad riddled him enough to make himsmoke. This is the plane he shared,giving him half of th£ credit.

Two Zeros were on the tail of oneof Lieutenant Thomas' companions.He went after them and they ran.Another Zero closed in on a ma-rine fighter pilot. This time Lieu-tenant Thomas tailed in on the Japand shot him to bits before he hadtime .to fire at the other marine.

Zeros Swarm Like Bees.In a split second, a Jap was mak-

ing a head-on run at the marine pi-lot. They traded a burst of leadand the Jap began to smoke and burnat the wing roots. As the Zero fell,Lieutenant Thomas saw.,the Jap pilotbail out.

While the Jap plane was still fall-ing, Lieutenant Thomas saw a Cor-sair zoom past him, with a Zero hotOn his tail. He peeled over, put aburst into the enemy and *'the Zero,burst into flames and spun down."

Zeros were swarming around likebees, as Lieutenant Thomas put an-other burst in a Jap, saw pieces, falloff his plane but did not see himsmoke or crash.

Enemy bullets riddled the rear ofthe marine's plane and he dove tohead home. Oil was splashing on'the left side of the greenhouse andhe couldn't see whether or not theJaps were still on his tail.

The plane couldn't hold altitudeand then the engine froze. /_ The pilotlooped it over and hit the'silk. ̂ Hiscompanions circled, offering protec-tion, and marked the spot where helanded.

The experience of being shot downwas nothing new to LieutenantThomas. He had done it once be-fore. Once in his small rubber boathe did his best to paddle away fromenemy shore positions, but the windsand currents were too strong forhim. Exhausted he covered himselfwith his parachute and began to dozeoff Ji He awakened to find a largebird, probably an albatross, perchedon his foot.

Plays Possum."I played possum with it for a

while just to see what it woulddo," he said, "then ventured to movea bit. The bird didn't seem "alarmed,and it stayed there completely un-concerned. I put my hand out IQstroke its head, but, instead of flying''away, it bit my finger and shook itlike a puppy shaking a rag. How-ever, it did not hurt"

Search planes then came intosight, but apparently they could notfind the lieutenant. He did every-thing to attract their attention, butto no avail.

Disappointed and a little worried,he decided to take his mind off thesituation by fishing. "The fishweren't as friendly as the bird," hesaid. "I got no bites at all."

Late in the afternoon, the searchplanes appeared again, but this timethe fighters saw the tiny rubber boatbouncing on the water. A rescue-plane landed on the water and soonLieutenant Thomas was on his wayback with this fighting squadron.

"Sure, Michigan is on the fight-ing front! Don't forget for oneminute that Michigan, as well asbeing the arsenal of democracy, isone of the five states in the nationwhich was responsible in 1943 forfully 50 per cent of all vital essen-tial war foodstuffs."

Dean Ernest L. Anthony, head ofthe school of agriculture at Michi-gan State College and recognizedleader' of the state's agriculture,punched his "fist on the desk. Hisjaws were firm. His eyes flasheda spirit of determination that wasnext to belligerence itself.

"It's about high-time that theconsumer in our industrial centersrealized the importance of theMichigan farm battle front," hecontinued. "Of course, Michiganfactories produce needed weaponsof war—airplanes and tanks andcannons and the like. They're allmighty important in the cominginvasion fronts of Europe and inthe Pacific fronts, too.

"Too many people overlook thesignificant fact that Michigan,while being a key industrial statein the production of war material,is recognized nationally as beingone of five states which accountfor half of all essential foods thatare needed most for war. Here theyare: First, livestock products—meat, milk, eggs and butter. Sec-ond, white beans, the old depend-able protein food which is non-per-ishable and can be moved readilywith fighting armies. Third, pota-toes, for which we rolled up abumper crop in 1943. Fourth,fruits with all their vitamin val-ues. True, the 1943 yield was lowdue to the unseasonable weatherbut nevertheless the state is a top-per in ordinary production. , Andfifth, all of the vegetables whichgo into the millions of cans at

ular monthly meeting will be heldJanuary 21 in the home of Mrs.Walter Sedelic. Sewing will be theorder of the day, with potlucklunch at noon and business meet-ing at 2:00 p. m.

D. H. Whittaker of Curran,Mich., spent Saturday and Sundayin the home of his son, FreemanWhittaker.

Miss Marietta Wheil is visitingher brothers in Bay City.

Mrs. F. W. Whittaker and son,Melvin, were callers at the DonDornton home near Kingston Sun-day afternoon.

Hugh Mitchell went to Bay Citythe first of the week to look foremployment.

Only four of the 14 teams in theleague were able to win all threeof their games in the opening weekof the final schedule and two ofthese teams were captained byKnoblet and Townsend, who areacting in this new role because ofthe fine averages they attained dur-ing the fall bowling. It is a littleearly to make any predictions as tothe team with the most possibili-ties, for all teams are very evenlymatched and it will require weeksperhaps to get a line on the betterones.

Wallace and Starmann are twoformer captains whose averagessuffered to the point that they hadto be satisfied during this scheduleas just ordinary team, members,but if you will scan the honor rollyou will find that both these bowl-ers have apparently decided to taketheir bowling more seriously, andif they keep up the pace they seton opening night, it won't be longbefore the league will have themagain in their old familiar placesas captains.

"Ace" Collins, the lead man onthe No. 1 team, hit the pins for aswell count of 559 which boostedhis average a couple of points.Other games over 200 were rolledby Jim Milligan 210, Wallace 208,Schwegler 205, M. Auten 205, Col-lins 204, Maier 202, Gross 200, andDeering 200.

The parolee said he was FrankHarrison, 46 years old, originally ofPontiac, Mich. Harrison was re-leased from prison a year ago afterserving 10 years and 45 days forrobbery.

AAA Plans to BoostProduction, Save Soil

, Federal-Payments fori Conservation Continued

To help prevent disastrous soildepletion through using up of all thestored-up fertility for one tremen-dous harvest, a fund of 300 milliondollars has been made available bycongress to assist farmers in carry-ing out growing practices that wilnot only increase production imme-diately, but will also keep the lanein condition for another high-leve:crop in succeeding years. Direclpayments from the Agricultural Adjustment agency will be provided insome cases, while in others neededmaterials will be supplied, such aslime, phosphate and seeds.

Because of the variation in prac-tices adaptable to the different grow-ing regions-, state and federal agen-cies will co-operate in working oulan approved list for each state. Therate of payment will be determinedby taking into consideration topography, soil, climate, conservationneeds in. the specific area, and theimportance of each practice to pro-duction. Farmers will receive pay-ments, as in the past, in proportionto how well they follow-the prac-tices for their farms.

Increases in yields-per acre ofcrops in all parts of the countryduring recent years have been particularly marked in those sectionswhere materials have been general-ly distributed. For example, be-fore the Triple-A soil improvementprogram began, the corn yield av-eraged 23.5 bushels. In the last threeyears the average corn yield for theUnited States was 31.5 bushels,Wheat yields went up 4.5 bushelsand the hay harvest was upped froma ton and a quarter to a ton and ahalf, while potatoes increased from108 to 133 bushels and cqtton from

A lime-spreader working; on a let-tuce field in Cumberland county*Maine. The Agricultural Adjust-ment agency can provide fertilizermaterials and seeds when needed,under its conservation program,

191 to 253 pounds to. the acre in thesame period.

The 1944 practice program has afive-way emphasis: (l)-expansion ofagricultural use of-lime, phosphateand other fertilizers; (2) promotion:tot legume, hay and grass seed har-•vest; (3) erosion control and water'Conservation measures; (4) rangerand pasture practices; and (5) sup-plementing of existing distribution^channels, as well as adjustment ofmanufacture and delivery of lime;and phosphate to keep movement ona more equal basis and do awaywith slack periods.

Approximately 190 million dollarswill have been earned by farmersfor soil-building and range practicesunder the 1943 program, accordingto preliminary estimates. This is anincrease of 11 million dollars over1942, of 68 million dollars over 1941and of 75 million dollars over 1940,or a raise of 65 per cent in'threeyears.

Agricultural NotesThe domestic wheat supply for the

194344 marketing year is now indi-cated at about 1,400 million bushels,which'is 213 million bushels belowthe record supply in 1942-43.

*r * *

Small quantities of hydrated lime. will effectively deodorize and dis-infect poultry manure.

* * *Extremely large draft horses seem

to have had their day. Draft mares16% hands high and weighing 2,000pounds are as large as the industryrequires. A satisfactory stallionmeasures 17 hands and weighs 2,000to 2,200 pounds. Their offspring canbe raised largely on roughage andstill be big enough to fit the farmer'sdemands and to reach 16 hands and1,600 pounds, the popular size formost horse markets.

* * *Good care should be taken of bor-

rowed equipment so it can be re-turned in the same condition to own-er. Machines should not be re-loaned to anyone without the own-er's permission. Owner's attention-sfiouid be called to any parts dam-aged or Broken before use.

* * *The department of agriculture es-

timates that crops of dry beans, ]p<=as, peanuts, flaxseed, rice, pota- ]toes and sugar cane1 will .be con-siderably larger than,last year, be-

. cause of increased acreage.

INVASION:Eisenhower Commands.

Hitler's high command shuttledtroops in western Europe as Amer-ica's four-star Gen. Dwight D. Eis-enhower assumed command of Al-lied forces and the stage was set forthe big second front.

Britain's Air Chief Marshal Ar-thur-, Tedder stood at General Eis-enhower's side as deputy command-er, with Britain's Adm. BertramRamsay as the leader of navalforces, and Britain's Air MarshalTrafford Leigh-Mallory in charge ofall air forces.

As the Allies' supreme commandburied itself in the mass of invasiondetail, the tensed Germans reportedheavy aerial bombardment of theirchannel fortifications and Comman-do attacks along the French coastto test their defense. As the Ger-mans awaited the grand assault,said Nazi Marshal Erwin Eommei:Our defenses are technically cor-rect.

FORTRESS EUROPE:Step Up Action

Bringing heavy artillery into play,Lieut. Gen. Mark Clark's Fifth armyblasted the Nazis from strong pointsblocking the 75-mile road to Rome,while farther to the east, the Britishclambered past the enemy's Adri-atic bastion of Ortona, won aftermore than a week of vicious street-to-street fighting.

. ger's SiX'tn army encountered heavy[resistance at Arawe to the south.

The Allies made increasing use of: air power to jar the Japs loose onI the wide Pacific front, dropping gas-! oline tanks on enemy strong pointson Bougainville and sending fleetsof bombers to pound installations onthe Marshall islands.

AGRICULTURE:Meat Production

: Farmers received an all-time high.of four billion dollars for livestockslaughtered under federal inspectionin 1943 as meat production alsoreached an all-time high of morethan 24 billion pounds., Fifty per cent more meat was pro-

duced than during the 10-year pre-war average, but after allocationsto the government, civilian con-sumption was held to the prewarrate of 132 pounds per person. Be-cause of rationing, however, sup-| plies were more evenly distributedthan formerly.

Meat output for 1944 was estimat-ed at 25 billion, 600 million pounds,of which 8 billion, 500 million pounds^will be required for military an*-"lend-lease purposes.

CCC ProgramGermany's Scharnhorst.

Southern Italy, aerial and naval war-fare in Europe stepped up.

Fleets of Allied bombers wingedtheir way over the English channelto pound Nazi fortifications alongthe French coast, and the RAFrained another 2,234 tons of explo-sives on battered, hapless Berlin.-

Following the British home fleet'ssinking of the 26,000-ton Nazi battle-ship Scharnhorst off North Cape,Norway, light Allied and Germannaval units tangled in the Atlanticoff the French coast, with airplanesbeing called into play to help sinkthree enemy destroyers and aspeedy blockade runner.

RUSSIA:Reds Advance

Delivering trip-hammer blows allalong the 800-mile Russian from;,Red armies surged forward againin the south as Germany's harassedhigh command shifted forces tocheck the big push.

The Reds' heavy blows in thesouth fell as German resistance stiff-ened in the north around Vitebsk.Quickly shifting the gravity of theirattack, the. Russ struck on a 110-mile front in the south, first punch-ing hard at Zhitomir, then punchingstill harder above that railway hubat Koresten.

This winter's Russian offensivewas a real slugging match, with eachside in the south primarily con-cerned with exhausting the other.

To help stimulate production fcn$fulfill commitments to support crojpand livestock prices, the Commod-ity Credit corporation spent 3^ bil-lion dollars during the 1943 fiscalyear.

As of December 18, CCC possessed32,898,338 bushels of wheat undex-1942 loan, while' 96,101,316 bushelswere redeemed. CCC wheat stocksa t " that date totaled 86,928,000bushels.

Principal objective of the CCC's1943 program was to increase theproduction of vegetable oils, dairyand poultry products and meats, andat the same time to underwrite OPAprice ceilings. ...

U. S. NAVY:42 Carriers

The U. S. finds itself well equippedas naval operations throughout theworld quicken, with Uncle Sam'snavy boasting of 42 aircraft carriers,including sleek destroyer-escorts forprotecting convoys. The U. S. start-ed the war with seven.

Corsair and Hellcat fighter planestaking off from the carriers' deckshave increased their striking power*and a deadly new dive bomber hasbeen put in service. During 1943,the navy trained twice as many pi-lots as in 1942, and three times asmany combat planes were sent tothe front.

During 1943, arming of merchantships was speeded, 4,000 now beingoutfitted with weapons.

FOOD: iChickens, Points

As the War Food administrationrequisitioned 170 million pounds ofdressed chicken and fowl for thegovernment, OPA slashed pointvalues on canned vegetables and or-dered frozen vegetables point-free.

WFA's action was prompted bythe government's inability to obtainmore than 20 per cent of the fowlthey required in recent months, andthe army was said to be particularlyanxious to get the poultry for Sun-day dinners at camp and hospitaldiets. Civilians may be little affect-ed by WFA's order, however, sinceit does not apply to stock stored •after December 30, 1943.

_ Because of comfortable stocks ofcanned green and wax beans, zero:point values were established forthem. A 10 per cent reduction inconsumer demands for canned peas,and tomatoes 'during the last two'months led OPA to chop their point'values for No. 2 and 2^ cans to 15..In an attempt to move frozen vege-tables from storage to make room •for record pork stocks, all point,values were removed.

RAILROADS: !Strike Off

Seeking to avert a threatenedstrike after the switchmen, conduc-'tors and firemen and enginemen had,refused his offer to arbitrate their •..wage demands against the carriers,"President Roosevelt quickly seizedthe nation's railroads for the gov-ernment. !

Representing about 150,000 men,,the three unions had balked at pres-idential intervention even after the'trainmen and engineers acceptedFDR's proposal, as a result oj which:they received an overall pay in-crease of 9 cents an hour.

Also accepting FDR's offer at the,last minute were the 15 non-op'erat-'ing railroad unions representing'1,150,000 employees, who suddenly •agreed to a former government pro-posal of pay increases ranging from10 cents an hour, for the lowest paid •to 4 cents an hour for the highest,paid, but also insisted on overtimecompensation past 40 hours. ;
