That was 103.4 pounds per capita for every maa, woman and cnild in the state. (NAME PAPER) believes that the Citizens of (NAME STATE) are equal to Nebraska’s challenge. Let’s get out the scrap to bury the Axis! . JS'T - iff"- SOMETHING FOR US TO SHOOT AT (Continue^ from page one) I hope that Nou won’t think that we do nothing butjgee historical places. I assure you that we have been korking hard and that ( we have been getting plenty of training. We are now on American rations and are getting plenty to e«ti but we are not being pampered. I ?ead an article the other day where someone who had just returned to America said that we were “lolling in the lap of luxury.’’ He evidently didn’t come out to see the field troops. All of us are well and our spirits are good. We think of all of you at home and are looking forward to the day when we can once more be there with you. We know that day won’t arrive until we finish the job we started to do—wipe Hitler and Hirohito off the map. But we don’t intend to take any longer to finish it than is necessary. With kindest regards and all good wishes, I am, Sincerely yours, Tom BOSTON FIRE IS ONE OF WORST DISASTERS The Boston Cocoanut Grove Night club fire ranks among the nation’s worst fire disasters on the basis of the toll of lives taken. The greatest loss of lives by fire in the United States occurred in Chi cago’s Iroquois theater fire on De cember 30, 1903, when 602 were burn ed to death. The New London, Texat, school disaster of 1937 killed 465 children, bait many of these deaths were at tributable to the explosion which pre ceded the fire. About 500 died in the San Fran cisco earthquake and fire of 1906., Other major fires and their toll include: Hoboken docks and ships fire, June 30, 1900—145. Birmingham, Ala., church fire, September 20, 1902—115. Coal mine fire at Monogah, W. Va., December 6, 1907—361. Lake View school fire, Cleveland, March 4, 1908—174.

C. 3tp WAGES OF FARM LABOR CAN BE RAISED IF WORKERS RECEIVE SUM LESS THAN $200 A MONTH Washington, Nov. 30—The govern ment removed all restrictions today on wage increases for farm hands re ceiving less than $200 a month. The order, by James F. Byrnes, economic stabilization director, gave agricul tural labor a (preferred status held by no other wage or salary group. Byrnes also prohibited farmers from cutting wages below the high est rate paid between January 1 and September 15, 1942. The drift of farm workers to higherpaid jobs in war plants, cou pled with the induction of thousands into the armed forces, has created a manpower crisis in agriculture. The war manpower commission has sought to obtain selective service de ferment for many of these workers. “The retention and recruitment of agricultural labor,” Byrnes said, “is of prime necessity in supplying the United Nations with needed foods and fibers ... to aid in the effec tive prosecution of the war.” At the same time he said it was only fair that higher wages be paid farm laborers because their general level of pay “is sub-standard,” and “a wide disparity now exists be tween salaries and wages paid labor in agriculture, & salaries and wages paid labor in other essential war in dustries.” To gear the whole question of farm wages to the production - of agricultural commodities, Byrnes delegated control over them to Sec retary of Agriculture Wickard. This control previously was held by the war labor board, which will continue to have supervision over any farm compensation above $2,400 a year. Wickard was given authority to make any regulations he deems necessary or, after public notice, to put ceilings on farm wages in spec ial areas, or in connection with cer tain crops or classes of employers. The Byrnes order was approved by President Rosevelt and made public by the White House. MISS BURNS ACCEPTS POSITION IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA Miss Marguerite Bums, daughter of Mrs. J. L.
