group registering between september 14- to september 19 mrs rex eaton assistant director of na tional selective service has issued clearcut explanations of who must register so that no women will break the law unintentionally the first group to register will be the age classes born between january 1 j918 and december 31 1022 in other words women between the ages of 20 to 24 inclusive all women must register with one exception and thnt group is made up of the women who are employed and in possession of unemployment insurance regis tration cards 411 and 413 and who are still working for wages or salaries and paying unemployment insurance inmates of institutions such as hos pitals mental hospitals and members of religious institutions need not reg ister any women however who did reg ister for unemployment insurance last april and are not now working for wages and salaries must register again women who were registered last spring but have now left jobs in which they were paying unem ployment insurance for those which arc not insurable must register again for example a girl working in a factory in april might have left now to take farm work or domestic ser vice both non insurable industries she would still have her unemploy ment insurance cards as required but must ro- register because she is not working in an insurable industry so that the national selective service offices would not have an uptodate record of her employment other groups who must register in clude housewives domestic servants farm workers women employed in hospitals or charitable institutions where they

will proceed slowly until all age gioupa are tabulated l hero is something really important that will interest farmers wives who liave throshers to food and it comes straight from the county representa tive of tho wartime prices and trade board hero it is any farmer wife having to provide meals for threshers mny purchase sufficient sugar tor baking requirements by simply telling her grocer how much she considers shewill need how mnny nten she will have to feed nnd for how many menls nnd by signing a voucher to that effect anyone who has already tried to gctmen1s with a sugar allowance of one ounce per man per meal will appreciate this special concession for our benefit and for which i believe we are indebted to our- county repre sentative on thefionrd who has agi tated for a more liberal allowance on our behalf however there is no change in tea or coffee rationing with either of those we must get by the best way we con with the cheer ing assurance that by next year we may not be able to get any at all so there you are ladles thats one thing less to worry about isnt it but a word of warning do figure out required amount ot sugar care fully so that your request will sound reasonable we mustnt do anything to antagonize thojgoose that lays the golden egg otherwise who knows she might quit laying partner and i hnd a lovely- t sunday short but decidedly interest

thought it might be n good ldea4o come home by malton airport with the hope of seeing the lancaster bomber which we have been hearing nnd reading so much about just recently did we strike it lucky we arrived just as tho lancaster was getting an over hauling as it were she was just outside the hangar and quite close to the fence mechanics were testing her engines starting them up one at a time until all four were running but not jit full speed then they let three of the motors more or less idle along while the fourth was stepped up to capacity and i can tell you they really let her out the roar was terrific and the propel lor was turning so fast you couldnt sec it at all each motor was tested that way in turn then they raised and lowered the air brakes and also the bomb car riage all this you understand was done wih the plane on the ground it dldn t take off at all in appear ance the lancaster looks innocent enough one found it hard to realize its destructive qualities it w ns

191fi during the correspond ing period in tho present war the in dex increased from a base of 100 in august 1039 to 1mb in octobor 1941 approximately onehalf of this increase occurring in tho last six months of the period therefore during a little more thnn the first two yenrs of the two wars tho rise in the cost of living was approximate ly the same what have been the conditions in succeeding periods during the nine months from oc tober 1941 to july 1942 the index rose only 2 4 points during the nine months from october 1916 to july 1917 tho rise in tho index was 18 2 points or nearly
