Needed for Services and bong - Lease; Existing “Stock Also Affected.

WASHINGTON, Aug., 11 (U. PJ. =The war production board yester“day froze the entire 1943 crop of six dried fruits — apples, apricots, peaches; pears, prunes and raisins— 825 well as stocks of those dried

fruits now in the hands of packers. : The action was taken as a safe-|

guard against possible crop failures which might: peopardize fulfillment of the armed forces and lend-lease requirements for such fruits. Supplies not purchased by the government will become available to civil--ians later.

"°° Only Minor Exceptions

The order requires that except for minor: exceptions the entire 1942 crop of Thompson seedless grapes, muscat grapes and sultana grapes be diverted into production of raisins. None of these grapes, the principal varieties from which raisins are made, may be used for wine or fresh shipment. : WPB said estimated’ military requirements of most of ‘the six fruits “equal or exceed indicated 1942 production” and therefore supplies must * be taken under.government control. “Packers must. report to WPB by ‘Sept. 1 their entire existing inventory of the six dried fruits, and . periodically thereafter any fresh “fruits acquired for drying.

Statistics, Supplied.

If the fruit reported on hand has ' not been purchased or ailocated by . WPB within 60 days after the packer "has reported on his inventory, he may sell it for civilian use: Civildan sales will be distributed proportionately among all packers %“In so far” as feasible.” WPB offered these statistics to support its action: “Total 1942 production of the six * dried ‘fruits is estimated at 455,000 _ ‘tens, compared with an anticipated demand : by military and civilian purchasers for 654,000 tons. By di- - verting the -entire California. crop of raisin variety grapes. into raisins; WPB hopes to increase 1942 production to 510,000 tons.

AUGUST SKIES

First Act Comes Tonight With “Free: Fireworks” | From Perseids.

| By FREMONT POWER For people interested in what goes on in the sky, this is a big month. Tonight and in the early hours of tomorrow morning, there will be free fireworks in the northeast skies, courtesy of the Perseid constedation. iy The Perseid outfit goes about its, business at tne rate of 16 miles a second and so does the earth. Every year the earth, in making its annual tour around the sun, runs into this Perseid constellation. . That is, the Perseids run through the atmosphere of the earth, which to astronomers means ‘the same thing as coming in contact with the earth. (We have no information when the world .is going to

run into something and crack up

for good.) Heat Burns Em Up

Traveling at 16 miles a second, the Perseids get hot from friction, rubbing up against the atmosphere, you might say. Fact is, they and that's wha stars.” A partial eclipse of the sun will occur tomorrow, foo, but, according to Emsley W. Johnson, the Indianapolis astronomer, .only 05 of the

et so hot they burn you see, “shooting

sun is covered up and so there’s no

use. Irqiting over that .one way or another. © We'll never be able o see’ hi ere Mz. Johnson : said. :

$ Aug. 25 Is Big Date "

The really big date in Mr. Johnson’s book is the total eclipse of the moon on Aug. 25. This, ‘said: Mr: Johnson, -will. be quite an event and he’s inviting the public out to his observatory at 73d st. and Crooked creek to ‘take a

peep through: the telescopes.

Qne gathers from Mr. Johnson's cénversation that this will far outshine the Perseid show, like a DeMille production up against a “B” movie.
