creases in living costs from
that date to May 1, 1942 Work-
ers who have received an in-
crease of '5 per cent or more
during that period will not be
*£ tttled to raises except in
a-es where their rates still
are ub-standard and a raise is
necessary to wipe out inequal-
ities."

of 44 cents a day, retroactive to
last February for 157,000 "lit-

SS headquarters authorized
local boards to defer married
men until all available single
men. including those in war
jobs, have been called and to
call men with children last.
President Roosevelt said it is
unlikely a decision will be made
any time soon on the drafting
of 13 and 19 year old youths
for military service. SS Direc-
tor Hershev said local boards
may fill up to ten per cent
their quotas from men de-
ferred because of illiteracy but
who are otherwise fit for mili-
tary service.
Navy and Shipping.
Three new destroyers were
launched at the Federal Ship-
building and Drydock Co., at
Kearney N. J. Navy Secretary
Knox said an increasing num-
ber of small boats, mainly fish-
ing vessels, are being taken
over by the Navy ,and crews
are being trained as fast as
possible to augment East Coast
antisubmarine patrol. Mari-
time Commissioned Vice-Chair-
man Vickery said American
merchant shipbuilding capacity
is now ample to meet the two-
year goal of 23,000,000 dead-1
weight tons—approximately 2 -
300 ships—set by President
Roosevelt early this year. He
said July shipbuilding figures
indicate the nation is 2,000,000
tons ahead of schedule for 1942.
Because of the "tight situation"
in steel, however, the Maritime
Commission said further plant
expansion program must be
curtailed. For this reason the
Commission cancelled its con-
tracts with the Higgins Cor-
poration of New Orleans call-
ing for 200 Liberty ships. .

Your Main Street... Is Our Main Street
On the Main street of every to™ ami hamlet, every
community large and small throughout the Gulf
South, can be seen the men and women who have
placed normal living in the background.
Their first job now, like that of citizens throughout
the United Nations, is to help win the war. 1 hey
have rolled up their sleeves and are doing their
utmost to help utilize fully the rich, diversified
resources of this area . . . are helping Gulf South
industry produce more and faster until we ve won
through to Victory.
Just as helping win the war is your first job, it is
also the No. 1 job of the more than 3,000 employes
of our organization. In towns and cities throughout
the Gulf South, they have always been a part of the
community in which they live. Now, during this
war crisis, they feel the responsibility to their
community and to their country more keenly than
ever before.
After the war is won—and we WILL win—vour
Main street and our Main street will have a greater
significance than ever before. It will be symbolic
of a free and greater America.
