Truck Operators Must Get OdT Approval To Extend Routes
Horace H. Tuck of the Office of Defense Transportation warned that truck operators who extend routes or buy new vehicles without ODT approval risk losing gasoline allotments.

World religion and wartime tales from distant shores
Captain Sheldon Hall writes from the South Pacific that British Methodist missionaries once converted cannibals on a Solomon Island outpost. He survived a shoot down, drifted 366 hours in a raft, and was saved by English-speaking Christians who guided him to safety. Polish church circles note Father Kalinowski's beatification and his charitable acts in exile. The piece contrasts past humanitarian sainthood with modern resilience and health in grandmothers and girls, highlighting societal shifts in women’s work and lifestyles as endorsed by the Illinois State Medical Society.
