The war story of air transport remains untold until guns fall silent. Commercial airlines led by pilots and the Army Air Transport Command under Major Harold Lee George are blazing routes globally. Airlines must remain private to preserve enterprise while serving militarily, with pilots fighting the war as civilians to sustain postwar global air travel.

Cooperation across merchants and consumers is key to fair distribution of scarce items.
William M. Jeffers, rubber czar, warns the rubber problem is not solved. A definite shortage remains and only stringent conservation with 100 percent public cooperation can provide tires for all.

High protein feeds should be used judiciously, reserving tankage or fish meal for young pigs and suckling sows. As pigs grow, reduce tankage content and add a mineral mixture to prevent inorganic nutrient deficiencies.
