Some Americans, seeing an ap parently able-bodied young man in civilian clothes, wonder why he is not in uniform. Sometimes their suspicion of him is evident from the way they look at him; sometimes, even, they are tactless tact-less and thoughtless enough to roice that suspicion. A Typical Story. One of the classic stories that is making the rounds tells how a discharged veteran, in civilian clothes, offered a woman his seat j on a crowded streetcar or bus. She refused, adding rudely that he ought to be overseas fighting, as her sons were. Thereupon he itorted with justified anger, then you write them, madam, them to look for the arm I left over there." There is- also the story of one of them who continued to wear uniform for two months after his discharge, although he knew it was illegal to do so. "But I didn't want to be looked upon as a slacker just because people don't know what a discharge button looks like," he explained.

Dodd, Chief Agricultural Adjustment Agency, in a statement released from Washington, D. C. Said Mr. Dodd: "The agricultural production pattern established by the goals is still the most practical balance for 1945. This sugar beet goal cannot be met if farmers in sugar beet areas substitute other crops for sugar beets. Sugar is still a critical war crop, and every farmer farm-er should plant the largest possible poss-ible acreage of beets consistent with his goals for other crops. Farmers in sugar beet areas should not overlook the fact that production history has been an important factor in prorating the domestic production quotas among growers under the Sugar Act of 1937." Supporting Mr. Dodd's statement, state-ment, Lieutenant Colonel Ralph W. Olmstead, Director of the Office of Supply, to the special sub-committee to the senate committee to the senate on agriculture agri-culture whcih is investigating the food situation, said it is expected ex-pected that 1945 will be the most difficult year of the war so far as sugar is concerned.
