The women are not drafted but volunteer, and they are relieving men for battle. Dis­ tinctive uniforms have been designed for these women by a Canadian fashion expert. The photograph shows a member of_ the Canadian Women's Army Corps wearing her winter great coat which has a half- belted baclc, wide collar which can button close to the neck for warmth, slashed pockets and beech brown shoulder straps to contrast with the khaki and brass buttons. The back of the cap can be folded down to protect the hair and neck in stormy weather. THE POCKETBOOK o f k n o w l e d g e * a n AVERAGE EQUIPMENT FOR EVERy u .s. SOLDIER REQUIRE? 250 POUND?

Giving ready response to the call of Uncle Sam for increased pro­ duction of all vital foodstuffs, Buckeye farmers are joining hands with 6,000,000 other farmers scat­ tered across the continent in a grim drive lo meet food needs of America and other United Nations engaged in total war with dictator nations. That Ohio farmers mean busi­ ness is evidenced by results ol a recent farm-to-farm survey con­ ducted in Ohio by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration, which showed that nearly every farm in the State has been placed on a war­ time footing to produce “Food- For-Freedom” for the duration. Farm plants throughout the slate now are being given a final in­ spection before shifting into hi- gear production. An over-all increase in Ohio farm production of more than 15 per cent is anticipated by the Ohio USDA Defense Board, which bases its prediction on results of the AAA survey. Along certain com­ modity lines, the percentage in­ crease will be much larger. Hogs, for example, will total 5 !i million head in 1942, representing an in­ crease over 1941 of 25 per cent, the survey revealed. More than 994,700 acres will be planted to soybeans in 1942, marking .an in­ crease of 55 per cent over the previous year. Egg production will bo upped by more than 59,000,000 dozens, increasing production over 1941 by 29 per cent. Gows will be called on to give 0 per cent more milk than they gave in 1941, All things considered the ex­ pansion program mapped out for Ohio’s food producers Is huge in scope and far-reaching in its im­ plications. A well-justified query is that which springs to the layman’s lips: “Where is all this extra food go ing? Why is it needed?" Americans will bo the greatest beneficiaries of the added produc tion. Our farmers are fighting any possibility of a food rationing sys­ tem for America. Most other na­ tions in a world war have already felt the pinch of food scarcity, and their peoples are doled out a lean amount of victuals each week — and no more, Farmers know that well-fed. people are strong people, No group in America is more anxious to fill the nation’s larders than the men who till the soil. But the job oij filling the Ameri­ can pantry has become bigger with each step-up of industrial produc­ tion. Bigger payrolls mean that many of our citizens, for the first time in years, fcah afford a belter diet. Food consumption at home is on the upswing. Food needs of the United Na­ tions fighting on America’s side also present new demands to the nation’s agriculture. Britain alone is asking for as much as 8 per i Q P j & y r •lutJ 0* *ch»l fort furnhHvdWyttaAfo* UJt (nturtnc*Co. cent of U. S. farm production in 1941 — or enough to feed 10,000,- 000 English. If we are asked to meet food requirements of a ir our allies, we must export close to 10 per cent of total U. S. food production. Finally, and with an eye to the future, AAA officials have asked farmers to build stockpiles of food such as the world has never be­ fore seen. What to do with all this vast reserve of foodstuffs? “That,” says agriculture’s chief, Claude R. Wicleard, “is the food that will win the war and write the peace.” In other words, the United States expects to be in the advantageous position of having enough food to meet all world de­ mands after the present conflict is ended. Such a reserve of food, it is pointed out, will be an effec­ tive trump card in obtaining agreement to U. S. peace terms. Rationing Board For Tires Meets The local tire rationing board, serving this immediate area, and extending from Beavercreek to the Enon Road, met on Monday night of this week, with Mr, Clin­ ton Fannin, chairman, presiding.
