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.

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.

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.

A BEAR BY THE TAIL 1
I say to my socialist and com- ,
munist acquaintances: “Some
kind of collectivist government |
MIGHT be all right if all the ■
officials were as honest and intel
ligent as YOU are.”
But they would surely be poli
ticians and theorists. Some would
be crooks. Some would be crack- |
pots. ALL would be human.
Every few years we’d want to
kick some of them out. i
And that’s the trouble with a
totalitarian government. When
you get it, you’ve got it for life.
You can’t kick it out—if you don’t
like it, it kicks YOU opt.
