GEORGE F. PICKLE
NAVY RELIEF
SOCIETY URGES
PUBLIC SUPPORT
Lieutenant Stanley Jones, Officer
in-Charge of Navy Recruiting for
this territory, brings to the attention
of the citizens of Georgia a most
commendable activity -which has na
tion-wide attention since the decla
ration of war.
A campaign to raise funds for the
Navy Relief Society to meet ever
increasing needs caused by the war
has been launched by Ensign Harry
M. McAllister of the Macon Navy
Recruiting Station. The drive will
■be .part of a nation-wide effort to
raise five million dollars to care for
■wives, widows and dependents of
Navy men.
The campaign is in the nature of
a direct appeal to the public to
make donations. Heretofore, the So
ciety has raised its funds from with
in the Navy itself, but the demands
now made upon the Society with
war causing steadily increasing cas
ualties are too much and help must
come from the public. Donations
will be gladly received by Ensign
McAllister or Lieutenant Jones in
the Post Office Bldg.. Macon, Ga.
The primary purpose of the Navy
Relief Society is to provide assist
ance to widows and orphans
of deceased Navy and Marine
Corps personnel. Such aid is in
the form of outright gifts and not
on the loan basis. The secondary
purpose of the Navy Relief Society
is to extend assistance to men on
active duty in cases of unforeseen
emergencies involving their families.
This aid is extended on the loan
basis. Free milk, clothing, and oth
er assistance is given Navy families;
when circumstances such as prolong
ed illness, accidents, deaths, etc., oc
cur to members of the immediate
family.
•Georgia is very much represented
in the Navy as evidenced in one way
by the unusually large number of
men who have enlisted and are en
listing every day at the Navy Re
cruiting Stations throughout the
State.
The tremendous burden placed
on the Society by the disaster at
Pearl Harbor makes it essential for
the future of the Society that the
public response be generous. Help
ing Navy personnel is helping our
own Georgia boys. Mail dontions

IS NOW $14,566
PER SECOND
The United States is now spend
ing $14,566 a second to beat the
Axis. The present session of con
gress has shoveled out appropria
■ tions or contract authorizations
I which total this amount every sec
! ond of the day and night.
When congress ended its first
month, the session had appropriated
or authorized approximately $39,-
050,000,000 in principal war effort
spending bills.
This was comprised of a $12,250,-
000,000 Army airplane appropriation
and $26,500,000,000 in appropria
tions and contract authority for
fleet operations and naval equip
ment and planes.
Besides that, Congress loaned
China $500,000,000.
Thursday of last week was the
big day. In 25 minutes flat the Sen
ate completed congressional action
on the China loan bill and the naval
appropriations bill—the larget single
appropriations measure in legislative
history.
Both these latter bills passed, both
branches of Congress unanimously.
Even the declaration of war got
no such 100 per cent support.

most effective use in the war. The
Commission awared a contract for
36 Liberty freighters. Twenty-three
American yachts, formerly owned by
prominent U. S. citizens, have been
presented to the Navy, Coast Guard
and Maritime Commission.
NAVY—
The president signed the Navy
Supply Bill carrying 24 billion dol
lars in cash appropriations and four
billion dollars in contracts authoriza
tions, a bill authorizing expenditure
of $750,000,000 for facilities to build
1,800 minor combatant, auxiliary
and patrol vessels, and legislation
authorizing expenditure of $450,000,-
000 for naval shore facilities. The
House passed and sent to the Senate
a bill to allow commissioning of war*
rant officers as officers of the Regu
lar Army. The Navy asked for loan
of binoculars meeting service require
ments, either 6 x 30 or 7 xSO, and
said they would be returned after
the war is over. The Navy lowered
the minimum age limit of mechanic
learners from 18 to 16 years.
PRODUCTION AND
CONVERSION—
The WPB ordered all radio manu
facturers to convert their facilities
to war production within four
months. The industry did $200,000.-
000 of civilian business last year,
but already has had its civilian out
put cut 40 per cent. War Produc
tion Chairman Nelson said “conver
sion is the only straight, fast road
to victory. This will be our princi
pal goal for the next six months.”
The Department of Commerce esti
mated production for military pur
poses will constitute approximately
53 per .cent of total U. S. industrial
output in 1942, compared with 21
per cent last year. In durable goods
about 80 per cent of total produc
tion will go for war purposes.
The WPB announced war funis
must outproduce the Axis 2 1-2 to 1.
authorized or now pending in Con
gress total approximately 116 billion
dollars. The Board said the Axis
produced approximately 45 billion
dollars worth of war goods in 1941,
and to win decisive victory, the U. S.
must outproduce the Axis 2 1-2 tol.
PRIORITIES AND ALLOCATIONS
A drastic reduction in the manu
facture of tin cans ,was ordered by
the WPB in order to save approx : -
mately 40 per cent of the 40,000 tons
of tin used by the canning industry
last year. Small-sized cans and non
essential cans, including those for
beer, tobacco, dried beans and dog
food, are eliminated entirely after
this month. The ban on sales of
new trucks and trailers was extended
to February 28. Prime war contrac
tors and public health and safety of
ficials may obtain immediate delivery
of new automobiles by applying di
rectly to the Office of Price Ad
ministration in Washington, Price
