Show BEAR RIVER VALLEY LEADER, industries and nothing for creates artificial scai cities. Stories of by the Navy and the War Department are reaching Congressional ears. Reports aie that the Navy Department, fot ' example, ordered six million dollars worth of money metal valves, thus placing a top priority on this alloy nicklargely composed of el, though the valvts couldn't be used until other parts were finished in a yeur. Odder repoits even than this come in of companies receiving steel with which to manufacture munitions before they could get steel to start building the munitions plant, of steel plates being stored for months before the ships' keels could even be laid. So Congress is worrying about wrhether Mr. Odium will be able to stem the flood of unemployment arising from the muddled handling of defense orders and of raw materials allocations. Preliminary returns of a nationvrtde defense unemployment survey point to reduced employment and production in many communities thioughout the country. Industries producing stoves, clocks, watches, radios and phonographs, engines, and others have been markedly hit. How many can change over to defense, if they are givtn the opportunity? And if they cannot make the switch, will they be able to obtain materials enuf to keep alive? With the sights of the defense efforts being raised to a point which envisions the use of all critical raw materials which can be produced in the two Americas, there is no quesintion that material for dustry will be scarcer and scarcer. The doubled tank program just announced is just the beguining of a tremendously broadened defense program all along the line. Upon Capitol Hill, therefore, Mr. Congressman is wondering how to answer letters asking how defense will affect this and that community. He is quietly praying Mr. Odium will bring forth a miracle. , THURSDAY-- NOVEltEER 6, 1911 non-defen- Co)aifmgfoK LVt..irC J PceSTOM lot of betat- Washington is giving uantir riava to the attention uieac small businessman. 4, the President to head a Floyd B.

The National Association instithis year Manufacturers early tuted a self census by industry whereno matter by every manufacturer, hew small, was urged to register to sake known his faculties available for defense contracts or subcontracts. Uore than 18,000 individual concerns were registered, in addition to about 12,000 which the armed services had already surveyed. All the data was filed with the OPM. Manufacturers in many small towns also arranged to pool their facilities in the plan fashioned after that used example, in the New York City area more than $800,000,000 of defense work is sublet. In the Rochester, N. area, the 170 prima contractors let work to 2,000 main subcontractors who in turn spread the work out even wider. But such efforts left many com munities still untouched. 1 Mr. Odium found when be took office the government contract service f.

In adlition, they accuse the government planners of failing to plan at all, of instituting a system of raw materials controls that leaves half-tim- A1 non-defen- se Fall Presparation For Home Gardens in York, Pa. And some startling results were achieved by industry's own efforts to spread the work. For 7 et e o o Dr. Stark Suggests -- Bad 39 hard-to-g- With the agricultural defense program calling for more home gardens to produce vegetables to bolster the American diet, Dr. Arvil L. Stark, extension horticulturist at Utah State Agricultural college, this week suggested that people having garden plots prepare them now for seeding in the spring. Fall preparation includes applica-tioo- n of barnyard manure or other fertilizer and plowing of the garden spot. "It is advisable for people living on the farm to prepare their gardens in the fall because in many cases if the work is left until spring the rush work forces the garden plow ing to wait until later," Dr. Stark explained. Thus much time is lost and vegetables that could be used in the family diet are not available until a much later time than they will be if the plot is prepared this fall. The horticulturist pointed out that early gardens grow faster and better than those planted later. They are also freer from weeds. Another advantage of fall preparation he listed is an improved tilth of the sooil. If the garden spot is prepared in fall and allowed to stand through the winter the frost breaks up the clods arid helps to decompose the fertilizer. This puts the soil in excellent condition for plant growth in the spring, and makes gardening easier. Urban garden owners whose plots are not large enough to justify hiring a man to haul fertilizer and plow their spots are urged by Dr. Stark to cooperate with their neighbors and have a number of their gardens fixed up at the same time. This would make it worthwhile for a farmer to spend several hours in the vicinity.

Those old coats in the hall closet that box of buttons fiugaily cut fiom blouses and shirts before we turn them into mop rags even those pieces of string and folded paper in the kitchen drawer. Sometimes the family has made fun of us for hanging on to things because, as we said, some day they "might come in handy." The children growing up in an age of plenty have shaken their heads over us; and our husbands, used to the larger ways of business, have been amused. But now and in the months to come no one is likely U ridicule our little piles of savings. Already "they're coming in handy," as Industry begins to scrape the bottom of the storage space where there has always been such an abundance of metal of paper of rubber of lumber and oil. Plans are under way to make collections of old materials for industrial use and individuals are beginning to rescue things out of the attic instead of always going down town to buy something new. America has always been a land of plenty; plenty of space, plenty of raw materials, plenty of machines and skill and men. But today America is faced with a task greater than any she has ever undertaken. Today she is arming to the teeth in order that she may be invincible herself and at the same time is producing millions oof dollars worth of arms for those countries fighting for the things we believe in. For the first time in our history we are using our plenty to the limit. Women have always played a part of importance in this free world, but today, with our defense effort rising to new heights, we're going to be o j called upon to play a still more im portant part It won't be spectacular. Wa won't get any medals for what we must do but it will be essential. . . . It's up to us to get along cheer - fully with many fewer commodities than we've been used to. . . to stretch incomes cut into sharply by defense taxes. . . to save not only string and old coats but food and newspapers and fuel and a hundred other things of daily use. Finally, by our own faith and courage, it's up to us to keep the morale of the country strong and resilient. For you see, the time has come at last when the things that we, as simple housewives, can do for the nation itself will come in very handy. the steel industry product 25 percent mora tfeel In the first half of 1941 ln tho JnoB corresponding period of 1929, total net comings wore 25 pr cont fewer, largely because Increased costs wero not offset by higher prices. ii I! year ago a total of 48 cases was re- t ported.
