NEWS BEHIND THE
BATTLE FRONTS
Civilians At War
The government needs and asks
its c~tizens in this 174th week of
war to:
1. Plan nowdto take a summer
j~b on a farm, and be one of the
four million workers who are need-
ed to meet this year's wartime
~ood production goals.
2. Drive your car slowly, check
tires regularly, h~bricate frequent-
ly. Your car must last until vic-
tory-and then some.
3. Save kitchen fats. Every
teaspoonful of waste fat is still
needed, and the two red points per
pound are more i.mportant to you
than ever.

Tire Purchasers Classified
A preferential Hat of occupa-
tions for use in selecting persons
to receive passenger car tires has
been prepared by OPA in coopera-
tion with the War Manpower Com-
mission. Under the new plan the
ntmlber olf eligibles is not reduced,
but they are classified into four
preference groups for the aid of
Local War Price and Rationing
Boards in issuing tire certificates.
Group 1 is limited almost entirely
to persons whese occupations are
of emel~enc~y ~,at~c,:~'~ to work-
~rs at establishments faced with
production emergeneie~ Within
this group are elig~,ble physicians,
public health nurses, police and
employees at critical war indus-
tries such as those producing ur-
gently needed aircraft and ammu-
nition that are experiencing a man-
power emergency. The exact
plants, however, will 'be determined
on the advice of local WMC offic-
ials. Group 2 includes persons em-
ployed in other essential plants,
and those whose .occupations are
highly ~mportant to the war ef-
fort. In this ,group are farmers,
farm workers and representatives
~f management, l~bor and govern-
ment who recruit for essential es-
ta~blisbyments. Group 3 includes
such occupations as buyers for es-
sential establishments, and persons
who travel to essential establish-
ments on request to perform nec-
essary technical services, such as
tho~e who advise these' establish-
ments on machinery maintenance
pr~blarns. Group 4 takes in all
other persons eligible for grade
one passenger tires.
Tire ~Ul~ply Reduced
Only 1,000,000 passenger tires
for cars and motorcycles will be
avails~ble to civilians during April,
as compared with the 1,600,009
avail~ble in March, OPA announc-
ed. This sharply reduced civilian
tire supply is due to a decline in
l~roduction caused by a serious
shortage of carbon black, an in-
gredient used to harden synthetic
~Nber.
Milk Production for 1945
Milk production on farms during
1945 is expected to be at least as
large as Lhe 1944 output of 119
~billion pounds, says the Bureau of
&gricultural Dconomics. Milk cows
on farms January 1, 1945, totaled
27,785..000 head, or 129,000 more
than on January 1, 1944. Returns
to dairy farmers, because of h~gh-
er production payment rates for
~t~tterfat, probably will average
higher in 1945 than in 1944. Also
dairy products' feed price ratios
~ill continue favorable to milk
l~red~cers with the 1924-1943 av-
erage.
