The program has the double aim of conserving vital equipment and assuring a continuous flow of farm commodities to market. In a letter to state and county war boards urging the conservation of farm transportation facilities, Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. The department is Wickard said: in this program glad to to the fullest extent, realizing that , attainment of agricultural produc- tion goals will be meaningless unless there is assurance that essential farm products, when ready for market, can quickly be brought to processing, storage or consumption centers. Joseph B. Eastman, director of the Office of Defense TransportaFarmers can assist in tion, said: the nation-wid- e farm transportation program by avoiding trips to market with less than full loads wherever possible, and by making every possible effort to purchase their supplies at times when it will be possible to haul them to their farms on return trips. Operators of farm trucks also are urged to follow the .preventive maintenance plan of the ODT in order to prolong the life of such equipment as long as possible.

WEST COASTS: Shelled Its Aftermath By FLORENCE WEED (This is one oi a series of articles showing bow iarm products sro finding an important market in industry.) Some of the attractive colorfu rooms in modem homes are made with wall board of pressed sugar cane. Time was when no one knew what to do with sugar cane bagasse after the sugar was extracted. Tons were either destroyed or burned as fuel in the sugar mills. Then industrial chemists found a way to press the cane refuse into long fibers, to felt and weave it into long board sheets. Chemists have also found that a cheap molding compound can be made from bagasse. By grinding the cane to a powder, combining it with chemicals, the substance can be molded into flat panels or floor tiles. Backers believe that this low cost molding compound will enable the plastics industry to branch out into broader fields such as the manufacture of furniture, building materials and parts for automobiles since it can be made for less than half the cost of the cheapest synthetic compound known. anti-inflati- on possible. .Second monarch in ten days to visit Washington and hold conversations with President Roosevelt was the boy king of Jugoslavia, King Peter II. He arrived in the capital by plane and was accompanied by Foreign Minister M. Nintchich. Main topics of discussion with the President were Jugoslavias unrelenting guerrilla warfare against Germany and the effects of a master lend-leaagreement for his country which would provide for understandings and This conclusion was reached after the Canadian government had announced that about 24 hours before the Oregon attack a submarine had landed shells at the government telegraph station at Estevan Point, Vancouver island. This was the first time that an enemy submarine had attacked shore installations in Canada and the first time in Canadas history that enemy shells had landed on her soil. Canadian officials said that while one of the shells landed near enough the telegraph station to shatter windows the other missies fell harmlessly on the beach. The U. S. armys first brief announcement of the Oregon attack indicated that the firing had lasted about 15 minutes. Earlier residents of Astoria had reported hearing between 10 and 16 shots fired at sea and said they could hear the shells whistle over head. Still another report said that an Astoria resident had sighted a submarine off the coast. Washington and Oregon had dimouts of their coasts at the time of the attack. , . One thing a soldier is afraid of a display of emotion. Thats why his slang so often sounds de- rogatory. For example, he refers to the silver eagles on his colonels shoulder straps as buzzards. But when he speaks of his favorite cigarette, he says: Camels. Theyre first with men in the Army as well as with Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen. (According to actual sales records in service mens stores.) A gift of a canon of Camels is always well received. Local tobacco dealers are featuring Camel cartons to send to any member of our armed forces. Hint for the day: Send him a carton of Camels. Adv- - BOMS Get this quick relief.
