Lesson for June 13: II Peter 1: 1-11. Golden Text: II Peter 1:4. Peter writes, they who have such things will not be idle nor un fruitful, while they who lack them will be spiritually blind. Therefore the apostle ad monishes his brethren to make “their calling zpid election sure,” that they may never stumble, but have an abundant entrance into the eternal kingdom. And the readers are urged to set before themselves t* * r ’br* progres sion of whict. i etei writes. —x Town And Farm In Wartime More Money Into Bonds The average American Tamily “should and must” be investing 25 per cent of its income in war bonds by the end of 1943, Secre tary of the Treasury Henry Mor- genthau, Jr., said recently in an nouncing a new “streamlined” In the preceding lesson Peter bond campaign. “Of the 45 billion was found comforting persecuted Christians. In the present lessor, nothing is said about wicked op ponents—the energies of the soul kirk only in. the background as the apostle writes of God’s ex ceeding great promises whereby those who have escaped from tho fast of the world may partake of the divine nature. Christians, “having obtained a like precious faith” in the right eousness fef God and the Saviour, are urged to go jm to all good things through Christ. Growth is seen in all living things, and growth is expected in the experi- «Bees and character of ’ the Christian. So in verses 5-7 Peter gives an «ocellent Christian progression which is swifter than compound interest and which concerns Jhings that moth and rust "do not corrupt. Diligence, faith, vir-' tue, knowledge, self-control, pa tience, godliness, brotherly kind ness, love—these form a logical chain of things necessary to Christian growth. Surely, as the ceiling. Ice Boxes For Civilians A total of 239,575 ice boxes are to be produced in the next three months for civilian use, accord ing to the new order of WPB. Despite- limited factory capacities and scarcity of materials, the production rate is expected to reach about 75,000 units a month. How To Get Farm Supplies Ar^rdihg to a new , WPB priv ily regulation a dealer must urnish farm supplies if a farmer signs a certificate stating . . “I certify to the War Production Board that I am a farmer and that the supplies covered by this order are needed now and will be used for the operation of a farm.” A total of 140 items are affected by this order. Such certification will enable the farm er to buy up to $25 worth of any of the items on the list, and more if the certificate is approved bv his Local County Farm Rationing Committee.

Milk Added to Ration List Evaporated and condensed milk are now on the list of rationed foods with a value of one point per pound. Red stamps in War Ration Book Two will be used for buying canned milk and no additional points will be made available to consumers for such purchases. The rationing is intended to con serve limited supplies for infant feeding, special diets, and for persons unable to obtain adequate 'applies of fresh milk. No More Wheat For Feed Sales of wheat for feed have oeen discontinued by the Commod ity Credit Corporation. However, farmers may still obtain some "eed wheat through dealers and county AAA committees to whom shipments have already been made. Additional orders will not >e accepted by the Corporation unless the State U. S. Department 'f Agriculture War Board deter mines that the wheat is needed to feed livestock during June. Adjust AAA Crop Payments Farmers who fail to plant 99 oer cent of their war crop goals will not suffer the regular agri- cutural conservation deductions if the weather has interfered with their crop plans. The War Food Administration has relaxed the provisions in all areas where hay and pasture goals have been established. The action is de signed to offset the effect of re cent unfavorable weather con ditions. Lumber Production Good Lumber production in the U- nited States for the first quarter of 1943 is estimated at 7,141,109,- 000 board feet. This is close to the first-quarter goal needed to meet military and essential civili an requirements of 32 billion board feet for 1943, , says the WPB’s I,umber and Lumber Prod ucts Division. Typewriter Renters Persons renting class A type writers (standard size machines made since 1934) will be given until June 30 either to purchase the machines or to return them to their owners, the OPA has an nounced. Bikes For The East In South Carolina, bicycles are now being issued without quota restrictions. Bicycles are rationed to anyone gainfully employed in any occupation or doing work necessary to the war program or public welfare. Children are also eligible if they need a bicycle for transportation to and from school. Report Shows Traffic Drop Throughout the Nation, 479 au tomatic counters on rural roads in 39 states recorded traffic in April as 56 per cent of pre-war normal. Motor-fuel tax collections in 28 states in April totaled $38,- 209,000 and were three-fourths of Motor-Vehicle Detroit, Mich., June 3.—In creased war demands for anti freeze chemicals, necessitating government regulations prohibit ing the sale of “ethylene-glycol” type commonly known as “per manent” anti-freeze for ordinary use, are cited by Ed Hedner, Chevrolet national director of ser vice, as an urgent reason why car and truck users should take special pains to conserve this fluid. * In line with their Victory' Ser vice League pledge to “Save the - ; Wheels that Serve America,” Chevrolet dealers are cooperating fully with car and truck owners in conserving anti-freeze solu tions, not only to save critical chemicals but also to assure fu ture cold weather operation of motor .vehicles. By means of special factory- approved tests and inspections; dealers are able to determine, accurately whether or not the solution is worth draining and saving for future use. If the solution is to be left in the cool ing system during the summer months, dealers recommend that.' the system be cleaned and re**; verse flushed; that air passages in the radiator core be free of obstruction; that hose connec tions and water pump be in spected for possible leaks; that the fan belt be examined for wear and that cylinder head bolts be tightened to prevent seepage of gases into the coolant, result ing in an acid condition that would accelerate rust and corro sion. Owners having a suitable place in which to store anti-freeze re moved from their vehicles are ad vised to keep it in glass or earth enware containers.
