The VT loans were adopted by the Goomment to prevent any slackening-of war production that might result from manufacturers' uncertainty as to what will happen to their financial condition if contracts suddenly are canceled.

"The credit agreement will not only benefit the company and its employes by minimizing interruption of jobs," C. A. Liddle, president of Pullman-Standard, commented on the company's loan.

however, a war contractor can so to his bank and negotiate a line of credit, guaranteed by the Government, against which he can draw in the event his orders are canceled. While no VT loans actually have been negotiated in Pittsburgh as yet, a number of applications from district manufacturers are on file at the Pittsburgh Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank.

The guesses, while they have little significance as predictions, assume real importance in relation to various phases of the war. The problem of absenteeism in war for example, is ascribed by some Washington experts to over-optimism concerning the war. A person's belief as to the length ot the war may also have an effect on his purchase of War Bonds, his attitude toward taxes and many other matters.

More than 1200 American meat packing houses and nearly 1000 sausage makers are bending into this gigantic task. Millions of patriotic livestock producers are working with them in "backing the attack." PROTEINS ARE ESSENTIAL TO LIFE All meat beef, pork, lamb, veal, and sausage contains complete, highest quality proteins. All meat contains essential vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin) and important minerals (iron, copper, phosphorus). The human body does not store these nutritional essentials to any appreciable extent; you must get them from the daily food you eat.

Remember, the flavor of meat is not rationed. Even a little meat changes the character of the whole meal. Supplement the proteins of meat with meat's "allies-in protein" poultry, fish, milk, eggs and cheese. Keep up on proteins. When you feel thai you are not getting the kind or amount of meat you want, remember it's for a boy who may smell powder a lot more than he smells meat cooking and who hears bombs a lot oftener than he hears the sizzle of a steak.

The high-quality, complete proteins, the vitamins and the minerals of meat are essential to the good physical condition of our fighting forces. A 90-day advance supply of food is needed for every man in training. An eight-month reserve is needed for every, man overseas. Every ship sunk, every shift in the progress of the war can increase the need. Such are the calls coming in for the sides of beef and pork which used to be available at your neighborhood meat store.

The meat and livestock industries have taken on a job of helping feed our fighters, providing meat for our fighting allies through and trying to meet the demands Produce Food Let's not permit a square foot of good earth to go idle if it can produce something to eat. Start planning next year's Victory Garden now. Conserve Food 20 to 30 per centof America's food has been wasted every year. This waste in itself is more than enough to feed our armed forces. Eat every crumb, drink every drop.

and. whenit'stime, can all you can-Share Food Through rationing, civilians are asked to guarantee that our fighters will have plenty. Rationing is Uncle Sam's way of saying, "Home folks, hold back we need it for the boys." Play Square with Food Pledge yourself to accept no rationed foods without giving up ration stamps and to pay no more than top legal prices. That way you can kill the Black Market in meat, butter and other rationed foods. It's important to make things last these days! Lux keeps wash-ables new-looking longer.
