They have been called upon to perform numerous war services, such as selling War Bonds, purchasing the Treasury’s securities and financing war production. On the other side of the ledger it is interesting to see what is happening to Banking’s man (and woman) power. Of a total of 280,000 bank staff members, 70,000 were lost to war production and armed services in 1942. The American Bankers Association estimates that 100,000 more will go in 1943. The road ahead looks rough, but Banking will "carry on.’’ O’NEILL NATIONAL BANK O’NEILL, NEBRASKA Member Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ■ ^ _ Rfriclud Rosebud is eight, and the most beautiful shade of caramel fudge. To her loving Mammy and Pappy she is known, on approximately al ternate days, as ‘‘Angel” and "You devil child”. It was on her devil child days that Rosebud tied the knots in the shirts that Mammy had taken in for washing, and poured the whole of the vanilla bottle into the lamb stew, just, she said later through bitter tears, to “flavor it up some”. On her angel days Rosebud is equally imaginative even if a more restful occupant of the little shack down on Vinegar Hill. Once when Mammy was out doing day work. Rosebud got a wave of cleaning fever and scoured every pot and pan in the kitchen so that they literally glistened. Anoth er day, left alone, she tidied up Mammy s and Pappy’s room to such a point of apple-pie order that it was a week before Pappy could find an undershirt. Rosebud is a great reader of the newspapers. Mammy and Pappy don't take one, but there are plenty of perfectly good newspapers blow ing round Vinegar Hill. It was out of one of them that Rosebud got her idea for spending the ten cents the Bunny had put under her pillow the night her tooth came out. After break fas Rosebud disappeared down the Hill and reappeared soon after with a beautiful ten-cent V/ar Stamp pasted firmly into a brand-new book with neat little squares for more stamps. She displayed her invest ment to Mammy. “I declare you’re an angel child," Mammy said. Rose bud went on sitting on the kitchen floor staring with large brown eyes at the empty squares in her book. From time to time she took hold of one or another of her teeth and wiggled it, gently. Mammy was engrossed in a par ticularly big washing. Rosebud was as quiet as a mouse and Mammy forgot about her until, coming in from the yard with her arms full of dry sheets, she encountered her child with a large hammer in her hand. Scenting the devil in her angel child, Mammy shouted at her, “RosebudI Come yere with that hammer! What you planning on doing?” But what was done was done. In Rosebud’s other hand was another tooth. Her mouth was stretched in a broad if slightly bloody smile. "I ain’t doing nothing. Mammy,” she said. “I’m Just filling up my stamp book.” (Story from an actual report in the files of the Treasury Depart ment) • • • Say yea. Take your chance In War Stamp*.

Mill*r, M. C. New interest has been aroused in this country over the bringing of Italian and German prisoners to America. Nebraska will have four camps for war prisoners. The camp at Scottsbluff is now receiving Ital ian prisoners. I had an opportun ity a few weeks ago of inspecting this camp. It is modern in every respect and will house several thousand prisoners They have a hospital with x-ray room, oper ating room and excellent equip ment. The hospital will be staffed by splendid doctors and nurses. The camp is surrounded by a high protective woven wire fence with lookout stations at frequent in tervals. My office has received a num ber of letters relative to using these prisoners of war on the farm. They can be used. The Bur eau that has charge of prisoners tells me that as a rule they do not allow the prisoners to be more than 25 miles away from camp. Soldiers must guard the prisoners at all times. They must be back in camp each night. They are paid, if they stay in camp and do not work, 10 cents a day which they can spend at the well equipped canteen in the camp. If the pris oner goes out to work he is paid the prevailing wage but receives 90 cents of the wage which can be spent at the canteen, the bal ance is placed to his credit and when the war is over will be sent to the Immigration authorities to pay the individual’s transporta tion back to his homeland. The wage paid these prisoners is three to four times what they would ordinarily receive in their own country. They should be happy in America. rne way we treat our prison ers of war determines somewhat how well our own boys who are prisoners of war are treated in foreign prison camps. The Inter national Red Cross reports that generally the treatment has been fairly good. There seems to be some exception in the case of the Japs, who are accustomed to liv ing on rice and fish. Such a diet is not enough for our boys. The machinery division of the War Food Administration reports that Nebraska was allocated 305 large combines, 417 small com bines, 176 grain binders, mostly small. This will not be nearly enough to meet the demands par ticularly in the face of a bumper crop. It is thought that combines from the south would follow the harvest and thus relieve the short age. Additional steel has been al located for the production of farm machinery, but this will not be available until late in 1943. Joseph Weiner, Russian born immigrant, resigned from Donald Nelson’s War Production Board by request. It was Mr. Weiner who ordered a drastic cut of 80% in the output of farm machinery. Mr. Weiner was an attorney with no agricultural experience. Weiner had charge of tne farm machinery that went to Nebraska. He was also trying to force thru a 50% cut in the newspaper pro duction. He was criticized severe ly by Congess. It is men like Mr. Weiner who may make millions of people hungry because farm machinery is needed to produce food. Many responsible positions are held by men who have no actual knowledge of the thing they are regulating. Many of them seem to get their job because they have some peculiar philos pohy of government. Former Governor Cochran of Lincoln, Mrs. Ella Wagner of Lin coln, Lila Jones of Wayne and Paul Hawkins of Fremont have been elected as the Board of Gov ernors of the Nebraska State So ciety. This society meets every few months. It is estimated that there is about 5,000 people in Washington who claim Nebraska as their residence. Have you seen the film, “Mis sion to Moscow”? It is a story about Ambassador Davies and his book. Critics claim the film is in accurate and deal in poitical pro paganda. Do you think tne wavjls, WAAC’S and SPARS should be given foreign service? I notice in the papers that a number of towns are putting on recruiting drives. The House passed ! the bill per mitting the WAVES and WAAC’S overseas service. The Senate is holding up the WAVES. I know some of the countries in northern Africa and of the old world, in which I visited, our girls would have to make considerable adjust ments of their life were they to be given service in those coun tries.
