Labor Shortage Forces Circus Parade Downtime
Ringling Brothers Circus arrived for two performances in Waterloo but a labor shortage blocks a downtown parade called a magnet for crowds. Officials say war conditions limit crew availability, delaying preparations and keeping the parade off the schedule though performances proceed. Executives report business remains steady yet slowed, with many roles now filled by women and older workers as the show adapts during wartime.

Food Price Board Urges Consumer Cooperation
Consumers are urged to cooperate with the county food administrator and the price interpreting board to profit from additional work by these officials. The board will publish minimum and maximum prices based on government allowed profit, with cash and carry and credit delivery stores showing different ranges.
