Building Planes Speed Up Amid War Production Filters
National defense agencies pushed 24 hour operations as contracts for arms and ships poured out. Knudsen said U S factories could make 10 600 planes a year now and 18 000 by January. Stimson warned Congress funded 4 000 planes but only 3 were contracted. Guardsmen lacked equipment and some tax fears delayed factory expansion. A separate incident saw Mrs. Alice Cornelius find her car wedged inside the police station after a hilltop parking mishap and wrecked station surroundings.

Delicate colors can be saved by soaking in tepid water with a few drops of turpentine. Grass stains fade with molasses rubs before washing. Inspect picture backs for holes and patch. Add sugar to stewed fruit at the end to save sugar. Fold bedspreads in a triangle for neat storage, reverse to unfold.
