Christmas Toy Trends And shortages For 1940s shoppers
The season foresees ample toy supplies with more wood and fewer paperboard items than last year though serious dollar shortages are expected. Metal toys stay scarce, paperboard used up, and government wartime material limits affect product mix. Gift lines favor utility items while decorative glassware and pottery may sell heavily. Shoppers are urged to buy early.
Work Injuries Highlight Industry Safety Gaps
The report shows manpower shortages and 56,800,000 lost days in 1053 due to work accidents. Unsafe conditions and personal carelessness are blamed, with rates ranging from one in five in logging to one in fifty in tank construction. More than one in ten in miscellaneous lumbering products and about one in twenty five in heavy ammunition suffered disabling injuries.
Farm population decline and births offset by gains
The department of agriculture reports a large drop in US farm population from 1942 to 1946 with a total decline around 1.65 million farmers entering the services and 4.66 million moving to other centers. The loss was partly balanced by 1.56 million farm births exceeding deaths. Increased entry into higher paying industrial jobs contributed to much of the change.

Barnacles Slow Ship 25 Percent With 40 Tons On Deck
In war or peace barnacles attach to ships, with weights up to 30 tons on a 10000 ton vessel, reducing speed by 25 percent and causing vibrations that render instruments useless. A new product prevents antifouling paints from sticking, keeping barnacles from attaching to the hull.
