Discuss Outlook for Increased Military Production
NEW YORK.—The year 1941 will go down In history as a year of the greeteet in-
dustrial effort America has ever made. Industry has earmarked 88,000,000,000 for
new arms and ammunition facilities in 1941. Government will spend about has a bil-
lion every month for military needs. Such outlays cannot help but to extepd further

during the new year is presented hert for readers of this paper.

The Stamford -Leader takes'
pleasure telling its readers
.about this most excellent
building. It is a right, a fit-
ting right of God to be thus
so reverently remembered
with such a building that will
be good more than a cen-
tury. perhaps two centuries.
Rev. Hugo B. Haterius 4»
the minister of the church.
He is able. He has a fine
family. He preaches to as
good people as Texas
for good citizens.
“Agriculture will patriotically do its part in
making any sacrifice in carrying out any pro-
gram essential to safety and national defense,”
says Louis J. Taber, Master, The National
Grange. “At the same time we must have the
courage to demand that in speeding up war in-
dustry and commercial activity, toe shall net
discriminate against rural life .... No nation
is safe if it relies on foreign countries for Us
essentiel agricultural commodities needed in
its normal life -and especially in its defense
program ... The very fact that we have failed
to pioneer sufficiently in new sues -for farm
products puts our national defense program in
danger in case commerce with producing na-
tions should be driven from the high seas.”
“Provision of adequate supplies of

defense, far from being a ma-
jor worry as in 1911, is today a

these stocks the possible difficulty in meeting
sudden new demands of expanded industry is
removed.”
“With disbursements Of about $1 J00fi00JN0,

Film Star Takes Stock
Of New Hollywood Career
No farewell engagements,
for Rambeau, please!”-.
That’s how Marjorie Ram-
beau, long one of the most
brilliant of the stage stars,
now faels about the theatre.
She doesn’t want to go back
to Broadway and she hasn’t
gone Hollywood either.
Marjorie doesn’t relish the
thought of being another
“old star trying to make a
comeback.” She’s well satis-
fied with her newly launched
film career in which she has
won recognition as one of the
’a foremost character
actresses.
When Darryl F. Zanuck
was looking over the candi-
dates to play Sister Bessie in

duction of “Tobacco Road”

rie Rambeau. She was perfect
