Re ciprocal lend-lease aid “for Amer ican forces abroad . . . ranges from squadrons of spitfires to new fan belts for army trucks— from building airdromes and na val bases to “D” ration chocolate bars and bananas at the soldiers’ mess— from convoy protection for U. S. troopships arriving in British waters to filling the gas tanks of U. S. ferry planes at air ports newly laid out in jungles or deserts, the OWI said. The Pres ident announced a special U. S. technical mission will leave for Brazil soon to assist the Brazilian government in expansion of its war machine. Army and Selective Service Assistant Secretary of Wax' Mc Cloy said that between February 1 and August 1 30 U. S. army planes destroyed 234 Japanese planes in the air, compared with American losses of 109. This rec ord, together with the “Flying Tigers” record of 218 Japanese planes destroyed as against los ses of 84, is due mainly to the kouwi For thorough Scientific Eye Ex amination and Correctly Fitted Glasses, see Dr. C.

The War Department sent 36,000 dependants allowance checks to taling $4,500,000 to relatives and dependents of enlisted men in the four lower grades of the service. Selective Service Headquarters instructed State SS Boards to place their calls so that most men right now will come from local boards with the most single men or men with dependents other than wives and children. Navy and Shipbuilding Navy Secretary Knox said the submarine menace “is not by any means solved,” but that has been a “steady deminution of ships sunk off our own shores.” A ship building compilation for Labor Day showed 174 launchings and 49 keel layings during the day for many kinds and sizes of com bat and cargo ships. The Mari time Commission reported 68 ves sels were put into service in Aug ust and there is “every indica tion” the goal of three completed ships a day will be reached in September. Taxation and Profits The Treasury Department rec ommended to Congress a reduc tion in individual income tax ex emptions to $500 for each depend ent. The Treasury also proposed a ten percent tax on consumer spending and high penalty rates for luxury spending. At the re quest of Congress, the Treasury outlined a sales tax levied against the retailer would pass it on to the consumer. War expenditures in August were $4,900 million, more than three times greater than the amount spent for Na tional Defense a year ago. In The Home Front DDERN wars are fought on many fronts, and one of them is right at home. Life must go on. People must live, eat, have shelter and clothing, and carry on in many ways as they did before the war. The regular services offered by banks to provide safety for money, expedite payments, facilitate thrift and so on, are still as important as ever. We continue to offer them, even though the stress is now on the special war time services. You are invited to use this bank. O’NEILL NATIONAL BANK O’NEILL, NEBRASKA Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation come payments to individuals in July were 21 percent more than in July, 1941, and were at the record annual rate of $114 billion a year, the Commerce Depart ment said. Purchase of War Bonds The Treasury Department an nounced sales of War Bonds in August totaled $697,255,000 in Bonds through the Ten Percent Savings Plan, compared with 18, 000,000 persons and $200,000,000 in July. Treasury Secretary Mor genthau announced State War Bond quotas for September, to taling $775,000,000 for the coun try. Rationing The War Production Board re leased 50,000 of the refrigerators which have been frozen in the hands of dealers and distributors since February 14 for sale to the general public after finding that they were not needed for “essen tial” purposes. Another 50,000 will be released by authorization of WPB for delivery to dealers and transfer to ultimate consum ers. The WPB food requirements committee recommended to the Board the following meat conser vation program: (1) Limitation of the amounts of meat packers may sell to the civilian trade so that each civilian will be able to buy 2Vz pounds a week; (2) Di rect consumer rationing to be started as soon as possible in about four months; (3) an interim voluntary conservation program. needed for War “What’s it good for?** “Guns, tanks, and maybe part of a plane** In the barnyards and gullies of farms and in the basements and attics of homes is a lot of Junk which is doing no good where it is, but which is needed at once to help smash the Japs and Nazis. a Scrap iron and steel, for example. Even in peacetime, scrap prowled about 50% of the raw material for steeL It may be rusty, old “scrap” to you, but it is actually refined steel—with most impurities removed, and can be quickly melted with new metal in the form of pig iron to produce highest quality steel for our war machines. The production of steel has gone up, up, UP, until today America is turning out as much steel as all the rest of the world combined. But unless at least 6,000,000 additional tons of scrap steel is uncovered promptly, the full rate of production cannot be attained or increased; the necessary tanks, guns and ships cannot be produced. The rubber situation is also critical. In spite of the recent rubber drive, there is a continuing need for large quantities of scrap rubber. Also for other waste materials and metals like brass, copper, zinc, lead and tin. The Junk which you collect is bought by industry from scrap dealers at estab lished, government-controlled prices. Will you help? First—collect all of your waste ma terial and pile it up. Then—sell it to a Junk dealer, give it to a charity, take it yourself to the nearest collection point, or get in touch with your Local Salvage Committee.
