This program is mandatory under orders of the Regional Office of the War Manpower Commission. - All employes having eight or more workers on their payrolls at any one time during the effective period of this program will be covered by employment ceilings. Employment ceilings will bo set for each covered establishment on the total number of

rull-Cnne workers are excluded from coverage in essential and locally needed activities. Ceilings will be established in such a manner as to place urgent activities in the most advantageous "position, with respect to the labor. supply. The celling will be established nn a plant-by-plant basis. Those establishments engaged in urgent production will have ceilings based orr validated employment demands: Their ceilings will be set according to the plant's production schedules and their future labor needs." '. ., Ceilings on , other establishments will be set on the number of workers employed in March, 1944, or number of workers currently employed, whichever is

1 lower. Letters explaining the 'program, "and cards on 'which.

employment figures are to be shown will shortly be sent to all of these employers. The program of employment ceilings now being made effective in this Area of the War Manpower Commission goes hand-in-hand with the program of priority referral of workers which became effective February 5 of

FOUR CORNERS

Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Rayburn were in Sullivan Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Ray Saucerman and family spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Vernor Arett and family of near Freelandville. Mr. and Mrs. Herman Solsman

were in Sullivan Friday. ' " v ' Mr. and Mrs. Charles Monroe spent the week-end in Terre Haute with Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Pugh and family.

There was sporadic artillery fire as Company F bedded down in the snow to catch a few hours sleep before jumping off at dawn in a fresh attack. Their commander, Capt. George H. Duckworth, of Shelburn, Ind., one 'of the best young officers of th Second Infantry division, couldn't sleep or plan Ids next day's attack.,Not with those 30 wounded men of his lying lo;st and leaderless and hopeless in the deepening snow. He knew what must be going on in their pain-twisted minds, wait

ing for death to take them in the1 night, waiting in a strange land with.no friend's hand there y save them or ferry thern into eternity. By -the hard, harsh logic of battlefield economics these men!

or most, of thpm wnnld riio. I

But Captain Duckworth thought this was the time to disregard "battlefield economics." As soon as he was sure the rest of the company was bunked down as warmly as possible he set out to find, his wounded men. Foot by foot he tramped back and forth over the area his company had gained during the day. There was nothing to guide him but the luminous surface of the snow and occasional sheUbursts from harassing German artillery . fire. ; . I Whenever iht rontnSn fnnnrt a

'wounded man, he quickly gave emergency treatment to keep him alive and conscious until stretcher bearers could start him toward warmth and hot food, with lights and blankets and ( hot water to sponge; aching wounds crusted with frozen blood. It was dawn when Duckworth

and the medics- who helped him finished their task. All 30 wounded men had been found. Twentyfour of them had been discovered and treated by the captain him, self. '.'. Weary-eyed and weary-legged after his sleepless night, Duck

worth' returned to his command post. He looked about him at the men of Company F sleeping restlessly in the chill snow. . The light of morning shone upon them. It was time for Company F to attack again and neither the captain nor his dreaming . men knew who among them would be i lying in the snow before another day was through, '

Indiana shippers and growers of fruits and vegetables for the fresh market must again take special measures in 1945 to assure themselves of adequate container supplies to move their products to market, Perry S. Richey, WFA District Representative, Office of Supply, advised today. . The current packaging situation does not warrant any assurance of ample supplies. .Although supplies pf fiber boxes and packages are about the same as a year ago, wooden containers will be considerably below new container re

quirements,, due to , shortages of lumber and increase in : demand by military services. - , ! .. f. '; :'S . ' Indiana shippers and ". growers can make certain of a supply, of containers for marketing their 1945 . production , of fruits and vegetables by. acquiring inventorT ies early. These inventories can be built up, Richey suggested, (1) by placing orders for new contianers as far as possible in advance of need and taking a delivery at any time the containers are available, and (2) salvaging used containers and using them to the utmost. . , -, ' ,

ALLIED GAINS FROM WEST

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 27. (Special) Checks totaling $99,333.47 were forwarded to school corporations of Sullivan county last week in the semifinal distribution of teachers' salary funds made available by the Indiana Gross Income Tax collections. Last 'week's cheeks were part of the state-wide distribution' of 512.03, C23.52 and represented the 23rd semi-annual payment of allowances from the state-collected fund to the school units for tuition support. ' : The urimary purpose of the State Gross Income Tax law when it was enacted 12 years ago was to . insure continuance of Indiana's outstanding educational system by guaranteeing salaries of teachers. At that time Sullivan county's initial grant amounted to only $43,324.32, but each year it has shown ' a steady increase until the present allotment estab

lished a new all-time. high. 1 ' Payments' this year are figured

at iuu per cent of tne - average i minimum salary for each teachj ing unit, as compared to $250 for' each unit when the plan was set I up in 1933. Teaching units are based on an average daily at- ' tendance of 35 . grade school pupils or 25 high school pupils. .For the 19 15 distribution, 1.9,721 such unit.-! were alkHcd throughout the stale.
