In the ebb and flow of continuous battle, one Russian counterattack threatened the Nazis' right flank, while another against the Germans' left flank had pressed slowly down between the Don and Volga rivers. Meanwhile guns of the Volga fleet continued to pour death into the ranks of the Nazi invaders. Despite local Russian successes, the gravity of the situation remained. The Germans retained mastery of the air. Their. tank and mechanized forces were superior to those of the Red defenders. The German high command was spending blood and lives recklessly.

Boasts Anew With the nation's inevitable progress toward total war economy, many a small business man faced the prospect of becoming a postwar casualty unless a lifeline were thrown to him. Help appeared likely, however, when War Production Chief Donald M. Nelson urged on congress the immediate creation of a war liabilities administration charged with the job of seeing to it that the little business man survived. Four essentials for saving little business were recommended by Nelson in testimony before the special senate committee studying wartime problems of little business. No. 1 is to help little business enterprises take care of overhanging liabilities they would have been able to discharge under normal circumstances. No. 2 is to provide a means for financing small business after the war. Third is to furnish technical and other assistance for small business after the war; and fourth, is to provide a mechanism giving small business enterprises a priority in the acquisition of machinery and equipment when the war is over. Making his annual winter relief address at the Sportspalast in Berlin, Adolf Hitler outlined a three-poi- nt program for winning the bulk of Russia's natural resources and converting them to the uses of Germany. He assured his audience that Stalingrad's fate was sealed, and said he and his high command were constantly preparing for an- Allied second front wherever it might strike. Listed as 1942 objectives on th Russian front by the fuehrer weref domination of the Don river area! capture of Russia's oil fields an4 coal deposits; and securing the Gerj man position in the Black sea area through settlement of the Crimea. Observers who remembered Hitler's boasts of a year ago that "Russia is beaten and will never raise its head again" expressed the belief that winter once again would find the fuehrer's claims unfulfilled. Indications that increasing RAF raids- were affecting German home morale were seen in the applause that greeted Hitler's promise that "the hour will come when we shall strike back."

In other words, at a differential in outdoor-indotemperatures, the house, when equipped with storm sashing, saved 60 pounds of coal every hour over the house when not equipped with storm sashing. The test also revealed that it was unnecessary to turn on the furnace in the storm house until it was at least 6 degrees colder outside than when it was turned on for the unequipped house. This represents an actual fuel saving of 19 per cent directly attributable to storm sashes on doors and windows, as the house chosen for the test was not insulated. The saving in more severe weather was increased to 21 per cent and was slightly less in mild weather. The mean, or average, saving in a season, according to figures announced by the society, came to 20 per cent. Insulation Helps, Too. Another fuel saving measure strongly advocated by the American Society is insulation. Tests have disclosed that ceiling insulation will save from 10 to 15 per cent of the normal fuel consumption, while wall insulation will save from 12 to 20 per cent As long ago as March, 1942, the Federal Housing administration pointed out the fact that fuel conservation might well become necessary as a part of the war effort and urged home owners to show leadership by the installation of fuel saving devices, one of which was insulation.

Herbert Spencer. 3:1 spending, the average American's brain may still reel under the impact of figures like these. However, translated into terms of the individual pocket book they boil down to something like this. The average small home having a central heating system burning oil uses approximately 2,000 gallons a season. Tests have proved that storm sashes save up to 20 per cent of fuel consumption. Therefore, on this basis installation of storm sashes alone would result In a fuel saving of 400 gallons of oil annually.
