Practically every business index continues to ren flect that progress. contract awards by Army and Navy for January are an example: They totaled $375,685,332 worth more than' half as much, in that one month, as the total for the final seven months of 1940. Highlights of recent construction awards give an idea of where and "whatfor" some of the chunks of this money are going: Ordnance depots, at around $8,000,000 apiece, for Annis-toAla., Fort Wlngate, N. M., and Hermiston, Ore. . . New $10,000,000 aircraft manufacturing and assembly plant for Omaha, Neb, . . an additional $6,000,000 was allocated for additional construction and operation of an ammunition-loadin- g plant at Ravenna, O., bringing the total awards for this particular project up to betng Plant-expansio- n, ter than $48,000,000. ACRE AREAS The nation's factory employees are now getting nearly a quarter-billio- n $250,000,000 weekly In their pay envelopes, topping any peak periods of 1929 or 1937.

Total payrolls in this area have averaged a jump of more than 50 per cent in the last 18 months. The mid- Atlantic section of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania is not far behind. It ordinarily accounts for about a fourth of national manufactures, payrolls there have whooped up by 37 per cent. Pacific Coast states have found their factory employment boosted mostly by increase in aircraft and shipbuilding activity and pay rolls there show a 38 per cent rise.

According to John L. Collyer, president of the B. F. Goodrick company, the entire 1941 output of one of the company's tire lines will be fortified with Duramin, a discovery of the company's Akron laboratories. 'Duramin is a potent combination of the m ost effective chemical age resisters which prolong the service life of rubber much as vit amins prolong human life. It imparts longer resistance to sunlight, oxidation, heat and abrasion, the chief causes of deterioration in rubber," he explained. In addition, he annouced an important change in truck tire construction that is said to increase mileage by 25 per cent over 1940 standards. With the nation's present rubber reserves enough for only nine months' normal needs, such efforts will help defer the need of rationing on the Jack Benny program, broke into the announcing game as a sports announcer.
