All men who expect to be inducted into the army through any station in the Seventh Service Command, or who already are in service there without benefit of army allotments to their depend ents, are urged by the commanding general to make immediate and thor ough study of the Servicemen's De pendents Allowance act of 1942 that they may profit by its provisions. Every induction station in the nine states comprising this command is being specifically instructed by headquarters here to give all possible assistance to the soldier applicants that the-necessary data may be ob tained by the applicants during their seven-day furlough for arranging personal affairs at home, and that aid to his dependents, if needed, shall be forthcoming immediately after the soldier's first pay check. Seldom is it necessary for the sol-1 dier to seek legal counsel and there should le little expense or incon venience to him if he carefully fol lows the instructions given at his induction station. Under the provisions of this act monthly pay allotments by the sol dier for care of his dependents are supplemented by slightly larger pay ments by the government and the total of both paid monthly to the person whom the soldier has desig nated to administer the fund. Dependents have been divided into two classes, A and B. Class A in cludes wives, both legal and common-law, or divorced, if the latter is receiving under court order, ali mony payments from the soldier; children under 18 years of age, le gitimate, illegitimate, legally adopt ed, or step-children. Class I! in cludes parents, brothers and sisters and grandchildren. The parents may be either those of the soldier or of his wife and the relationship "blood," or adoption, or that acquir ed by marriage, as step-father or step-mother. Likewise brothers and sisters may be such by "whole blood," "half-blood," or $y adoption. All children, grandchildren, broth ers and sisters who are to receive this aid must be less than 18 years old unless their physical or mental condition is such that although old er than 18 years they nevertheless are incapable of self-support.

Greene sev eral years ago established a gro cery and general st ire in Union that was operated under the name of the Quality Store. Later Mr. Rhin pur chased the interest of the partner and with Mrs Rhin operated the store for a great many years. In the last few months Mr. Rhin has en tered defense work and has dispos ed of the stock and store to Howard Snodgrass, who will operate the business in its present location. ANOTHER excellent example of the high degree of co-operation which now exists between the United States and Canada in the fighting of this greatest of all wars is the training of Canadian para troops at the big U. S. Army school at Fort Benning, Ga. It was origi nally planned that after the first batch of paratroops were trained for Canada at Fort Benning that' a Canadian school would be set up at Camp Shilo, Manitoba. Unexpected delays in the obtaining of certain equipment made it impossible to carry on the parachute training at Camp Shilo this winter so an ar rangement was made with United States authorities to train additional Canadian paratroopers at Fort Ben ning. The U. S. Army was anxious to test equipment under special winter conditions, so facilities were provided for the doughboys at Camp Shilo. Thus a simple swap was made that was characteristic of the man ner in which the United States and Canada have been working almost as one unit in a joint war effort. The Canadians are tickled with r v" a - is the opportunity of visiting the southern United States and their letters home have been full of praise for the hospitality and good fellow ship shewn them by the people of the South. The formation of a parachute unit in the Canadian Army is in line with the policy that has made it one of the most highly-mechanized and hard hitting forces for its size in the world. Although the country's small population has made it impos sible to ever place a large armv in Next stop terra firma. Captain H. A. jtSkI i the field, Canada has determined that lack of volume in manpower will be made up by quality. Next spring the United States troops at Camp Shilo will return to their country and the Canadian troops at Fort Benning will return to Camp Shilo. Like American para troopers, the Canadians receive ex tra pay for their hazardous duties. Very stiff standards have been set ut for the Canadian paratroopers. Already there have been far more volunteers for the special unit than there are vacancies. A significant in dication of their future duties is the Fauquier, Ottawa, brother of famed R.C.A.F. ace Johnny Fauquier, steps out into space from the big trans port plane as the jump master sig nals him with pat on the leg. Notice the special release cord strapped across parachute and fixed to plane. fact that thirty per cent of the para troop unit will be made up of French Canadians who are bilingual The paratroop soldiers are required to be not more than 185 pounds in weight with no recent fractures and almost perfect eyesight. They must also1 have specially good feet and ankles.'

Ickes, today called for the drilling of a minimum of 4500 wild cat oil wells in 1943 fifty percent more than were ever drilled in a single year. The volume of new crude oil re serves discovered in any one year since 1938 he said, has not equal led the volume of crude oil consum ed.
