Previously, the board had approved a base wage rate of 65 cents an hour, but permitted certain companies which had a wage history of paying more than a minimum rate, to maintain the differential. This resulted in rates of 67 i cents and 70 cents being allowed certain companies. Members of the Utah Canners Association, Inc. requested the uniform rate to prevent competitive bidding for workers. The new scale will not go into effect until approved by the Economic Stabilization Director, however, since the canners' application was contingent upon increased prices for their products to compensate for the higher rate. Milk Added To Ration List Evaporated and condensed milk are now on the list of rationed foods with a value of one point per pound. Red stamps in War Ration Book Two will be used for buying canned milk and no additional points will be made available to consumers for such purchases. The rationing is intended to conserve limited supplies for Infant feeding, special diets, and for persons unable to obtain adequate supplies of fresh milk. More Money Into Bonds The average American family "should and must" be investing 25 per cent of its income in war bonds by the end of 1943, Secretary of the Treasury Henry Jr., said recently in announcing a new "streamlined" bond campaign. "Of the 45 billion dollars still necessary to complete our war financing needs for 1943," Morgen-tha- u said, "at least 18 billion dolor almost 25 per cent of the lars, national income for the remainder of the year, should come from purchases of bonds by individuals. From those workers earning $1,000 to $5,000 net who will have of all the current available individual savings, 25 cents of each dollars is not too much to expect. In fact, they should and must invest more if our goal is to be met." Ice Boxes For Civilians A total of 239,575 ice boxes are to be produced in the next three months for civilian use, according to a new order of WPB. Despite limited factory capacities and scarcity of materials, the production rate is expected to reach about 75,000 units a month. How To Get Farm Supplies According to a new WPB priority regulation, a dealer must furnish farm supplies if the farmer signs a certificate stating, "I certify to the War Production Board Mor-gentha- seven-eigh- retailer. With the subsidy paid to them by the government, buyers of will get as much for their butter as before, and will be expected to continue to pay going prices to the farmer. The program will include butter manufactured by a farmer on his farm from milk produced on his farm. OPA Prosecutes Violators In the four months ended April 30, the courts handed down decisions in 1,495 civil and criminal cases, involvini 1,676 defendents accused of violating the price and rationing regulations, according to OPA. Of the total 1,437 cases involving 1,613 defendents were in favor of OPA. Only 58 eases involving 1,676 defendents less than four per rent of the total were dismissed. Flags For Flag Day New flags for Flag Day, June 14, are still available, but there will not be enough to meet the demand, says the War Production Board. Manufacturers are still permitted to use four types of cotton fabric and two types of rayon in making flags for civilians. Silk, commonly used for flags before the war, has not been available for some time. Wool may be used only for flags for the armed services. Metal flag accessories for civilian use are out.

Gasoline for fishing' trips won't be available no matter how productive of food the sport may be. in Sales of wheat for feed have been discontinued by the Commodity Credit Corporation. However, farmers may still obtain some feed wheat through dealers and county AAA committees to whom shipments have already been made. Additional orders will not be accepted by the corporation unless the state U. S. Department of Agriculture war boards determines that the wheat is needed to feed livestock during June. Adjust AAA Crop Payments Farmers who wail to plant 90 per cent of their war crop goals will not suffer the regular agricultural conservation deductions if the weather has interfered with their crop plans.
