FROM THF WAR PRODUCTION BOARD The Negro Digest of Chicago, 111., was included among magazine pub lishers granted a total of 467.18 tons of paper by the War Production Board Appeals Board during the pe riod June 11, 1945, to July 21, 1945, the Magazine and Periodical Section of the WPB Printing and Publishing Division reported this week. The Negro Digest, which received 70.28 tons, was one of three publish ers granted adjustments effective July 1. The Mast of Washington, D C., received 187.32 tons and the Moderator Press, Brighton, Mass., was granted 46 tons. This tonnage repre sented additional annual paper usage allowed under the order as amended July 3, 1945. At the same time, Wrn directed users of newsprint to reduce by five per cent their orders placed with mills for August delivery. This was effected by the issuance of Direction 4 to General Conservation Order M 241. The direction applies to dealers, publishers, printers or other persons, except those whose August deliveries of newsprint from mills would be re duced to less than one carload, Forest Produces Bureau officials said. WPB action was required because United States orders for August de livery of newsprint exceeded supply by 11,500 tons. Newsprint manufactured in Canada and the United States has been pooled as a single source of supply, WPB said. Any reduction in delivery ac ceptances, therefore, is to be applied uniformly to all United States users of newsprint whether they split or ders between American and Canadian suppliers, order 100 per cent from Canada or 100 per cent from United States mills. The Canadian agreement to in crease supply to 220,000 tons of newsprint each month in the third quarter of 1945 was predicated on the WPB promise to take immediate steps to eliminate any excess orders that might occur. If any capacity should be released in United States mills as a result of the reduction, WPB said, it will be available for orders, including U. S. Government orders, which Canada had been requested to accept. FROM THE NATIONAL HOUSING AGENCY More than 5,000,000 property own ers have been enabled to make im provements, repairs and alterations amounting to almost $2,000,000,000 under the program of the Federal Housing Administration of the Na tional Housing Agency, Raymond M. Foley, FHA Commissioner, announc ed today. The number of loans made by pri vate financial institutions and insured under Title I of the National Hous ing Act increased almost 26 per cent during the first six months of 1945 over the same period in 1944, while the dollar volume was up more than 43 per cent. These property repair and improve ment loans are in addition to FHA’s mortgage insurance program for the purchase and construction of homes now amounting to more than $6,000, 000.000. Actual figures at the end of June, when FHA rounded out 11 years of operations, showed that 5,042,790 Ti tle I loans totaling $1,979,719,488 had been reported for insurance by qualified lending institutions. Furthermore, Mr. Foley pointed out, Title I loans have played an im portant role in the Government’s cam paign fo rfuel conservation through the FHA “Summer Plan” for insured financing of installations to prevent heat losses. Under this plan, the first payment on insured loans to cover the cost of insulation, weatherstrip ping, storm windows or repairs to furnaces or heating systems may be deferred until November 1. Under present regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, loans for less than $1,500 are repayable in monthly installments over a period of 24 months, dating from the time of the loan. On such loans made after No vember 1 tor fuel conservation Fed eral Reserve Board regulations re quire repayment in 18 months. Under present regulations ot the War Production Board, essential re pairs can now be made without WPB approval if the total cost is not in ex cess of $1,000 for one-family houses, $2,000 for two-family houses, $3,000 for three-family houses, $4,000 for four-family houses and $5,000 for five-family houses. These limits apply to repair and maintenance work as well as alterations and new construc tion. Generally, fuel conservation in stallations may be made without au thorization from WPB. Mr. Foley said that Title I should prove of great value as the building industry goes through the transition period from war to peace. “There is a great backlog of need ed repairs and improvements, which had to be deferred because of neces sary wartime restrictions,” he said. “As soon as these can be undertaken it will create a large number of jobs, and FHA is prepared to extend its aid to property owners and financial j institutions in undertaking the task of rehabilitating the nation’s housing supply.” It has been estimated that in the first 12 months after all wartime re strictions can be removed property improvements and repairs probably will amount to about $3,000,000,000, Mr. Foley said. Title I operations are currently, and have been for some time past, on a self-sustaining basis and FHA has sufficient authorization from Cngress under Title I to insure a financing volume estimated at about $1,000, 000,000, Mr. Foley added. Its insur ance authority under the Title extends to July 1, 1947. LIEUT.’S WIFE ARRESTED FOR SITTING IN JIM CROW SECTION Washington (Calvin’s News Service) —For refusing to comply with a Vir ginia bus driver’s demand that she j move out of a jib crow section to the front of the bus, Mrs. Sara Exener, wife of an army lieutenant was ar rested and charged with disorderly conduct. Now free on $100 bail, Mrs. Exener showed bruises on her arm which her attorney says resulted from the incident. In the Alexandria Police Court when Mrs. Exener appeared, it was said that this was the first time a , white person had ever been arrested for sitting in a space reserved for Negroes. Waxed Shovel Shovels coated with melted paraf fin overcome the annoyance of wet material sticking to them. This saves the extra effort necessary to knock snow off the shovel. To apply the treatment to your shovel, just heat the shovel enough to melt the paraffin, then rub it on. Do not overheat the metal. r Western railroads urgently need 65,000 men to speed the flow of war materials to the Pacific. Apply immediately to your nearest Railroad Retirement Board. The Man You Seldom See Up in the locomotive cab of your train sits a man you seldom see. Perhaps you never catch a glimpse of him although he is re sponsible for taking you to your destination. Union Pacific, like other railroads, has cer tain exacting requirements for an engineer. The man who pilots a passenger or freight locomotive has served years as a fireman... knows the function of a locomotive’s many parts ... is thoroughly familiar with operat ing rules ... has passed a rigid physical examination and been periodically re-ex amined. In short, he is well qualified, both mentally and physically, to handle his job. Care in selecting and training employees has been a big factor in establishing the \ enviable Union Pacific record for safe and I dependable transportation over the Stra tegic Middle Route, uniting the East with the mid-West and the Pacific Coast. * * * Another "man you seldom see" is many i miles away, doing his part to speed total victory.

Storms We hear much about vitamins these days, it is easy to think vita-, mins are the most important food value. They are of very great, value, it is true, but good nutrition' rests on a four - square founda tion — of calories or energy value, protein or tissue builders, minerals for both bones and tissues, and vitamins. You and your baby need all four of these values. $ Milk supplies practically all of the four fundamentals in adequate amounts for the first few weeks. The first addition is cod liver oil or other form of Vitamin D. The second is orange juice for its Vita min C. Both of these are started before the end of the first month, usually at two weeks of age. The next supplement is a special baby cereal. These cereals furnish ener gy and are fortified or enriched with the vitamin's of the B-group and with iron. Milk is not rich enough in these two nutritive values to be satisfactory for longer than three or four months, so a cereal is usually added any time after two months. These cereals, strained vege tables and fruits are added gradu ally during the first year, partly because they supply needed vita-1 mins and minerals but also partly for the experience they give the baby in learning to eat foods other than liouids. ! 186+ V/HILE GUNS OF OVU-WAR THUNDERED, I * WAS FORMED 5 WATCHMAKERS AT ' ' I Elgin, Ilu,to make STEM WINDERS ($50 )..
