Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes said last month that Cofi- gress had appropriated $135,000 to build an addition to the plant on St. Paul Island. Although a record take of 117,164 seal skins were ob- tained last season, Ickes said that because of lack of sufficient plant facilities only 58,000 carcasses could be proecssed. ‘The yield was about 750,000 pounds meal is used for poultry feed and seal oil for leather tanning. ONE WAVE EQUAL 1 MEN! ANSWER By RUTH COWAN WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES IN BRITAIN—The U. S. Army talks about one WAC replacing one man for active combat. The British after four years' ex- perience with women in the war | program rate one woman-power as | four-fifths of a man. ( But the U. S. Navy, reputedly very | cautious, may shortly be talking about one WAVE or one SPAR re- | leasing one-and-a-half or even two | men for fighting. Admiral Young explained: “Men when they join the Navy do so generally to go to sea. They don't | want desk jobs in Washington or at | If they are too good at these desks jobs”—the admiral’s eyes twinkled — “well, it's natural that their superior officers would hate to lose them. “So—maybe, they just don’t try too hard. But when a WAVE comes in to do A’s job, she pitches in and works hard. First thing you know she is doing part of B's job. “It could be that a WAVE could release both A and B.” i | 'What Allies Have Gained Against Axis in 1943 rinarad RUSSIA Kazan * Moscow irte 4 ; ueva _ {rgypr @) ndicate territory won by the Allies in th eir fight against the Axis in E The push up from Africa resulted in Italy 's surrender.

The picture opens Sun- day at the 20th Century Theatre, Greene “makes his comeback to American audiences and American hearts as the thoroughly spoiled and ill-tempered American ot wealth and ‘position ‘who finally sees the necessity of service in the United Nations’ war against the Axis and who, in the final reels, @gives tremendous proof of his worthiness as a flyer and soldier. “Flying Fortress,” which glorifies one of this country's most impress- ive contributions to the cause of the United Nations, is more than | of meal valued at $26,000 and 75,000 the story of the redemption of one | gallons of oil valued at $61,000.

That’s the word from Taylor R., Durham of Charlotte, secretary of the Southern Hosiery Manufacturers Association. This is true, he says, despite the fact that the full-fashioned hosiery mills are experiencing a serious manpower shortage. The fact is, says Durham, the manufacturers have found ways to meet the problem Some of them who have both slow and high speed machinery have concentrated their production on the high speed equipment.
