Sugar Deliveries Down
WASHINGTON - Deliveries of beet
sugar during the month of luly showed
a decrease of 13.44 per cent with 3,510,842
bags delivered. With a short crop in evi-
den ce thi s fall there is a decided trend
toward a definite shrinkage in the volume
of beet sugar distribution in the United
States.
Beet acreage in the States is the lowest
si nce 1922. A shortage of labor, plus a gov-
ernment program considered inadequate i'n
beet trade circles, and the co mpetition of
other war crops are responsible factors.
A special Ford Advisory Committee report
to Secretary of Agriculture Wickard has
recommended beet acreage reductions for
1944 and 1945.
Indicati'on s point towards a continual ra-
tioning of sugar and possible further re-
duction s in the use of sugar for candy.

WASHINGTON- "When the war ends
we sh all be faced with the biggest employ-
ment problem in our history," declares
Anthony Hyde of the Committee for Eco-
nomic Developm ent. "There will be more
than 10,000,000 in the armed forces and
millions more in war work, most of whom
will want peacetime jobs."
The Committee for Economic Develop-
ment has a concrete, workable program to
help business to provide jobs and provide
them quickly once the shooting stops.
One part of this program is to stimul ate
private business, on a company-by-company
basis in each community, to plan now for
postwar employmen t. To do this a Com-
mittee for Economic Development is being
organized in each comm unity. The goal has
been set at 1200 to 1500 committees, which
will mean that C. E. D. will be in every
town of 10,000 or more persons and in
many smaller communities.
Through these local committees, it is
hoped that most of the 2,000,000 business-
men who employ one or more persons may
be reached.
The Com mittee for Economic Develop-
ment, h eaded by Paul G. Hoffman, Presi-
dent - of the Studebaker Corporation, has
prepared a valuable manual entitled "Plan
Postwar lobs- Now." The manual sets
forth the plans of C. E. D., outlines steps
to be taken now for postwar activity, pro-
vides charts showin g purchasing power of
individual citizens in the postwar era and
work sheets on which to compile figures in
pre paring your post war plans. A copy may
be had by writing direct to the Commit-
tee for Economic Development, Suite 3311,
Department of Commerce Building, Wash-
ington 25, D_ c., and mentioning this
puhlication_

DES MOINES-An increase of 168
percent in tax collections from coin op-
erated equipment for the July and August
period over the same period of a year ago
has been announced by the Internal Rev-
enue Collector's office for this area_ Collec-
tions amounted to $247,735 and a good
share of the increase can be attributed to
the doubling of the $50 slot tax to $100.
NEW YORK - The Honor Bar, sig-
nifying that the bearer has made eight
blood donations, will soon be on the proud
chest of Irving Mitchell. Irving is now
wearing the gold button which is awarded

eight pints is the maximum allotment for
one individual.

now in the army and at present is sta-
tioned at a California flying field. Scheel

in the operation of music, cigarette vend-
ors and marble tables.
AUSTIN, Tex. -Automatic phono-
graphs have gone to college at the Uni-
versity of Texas. After a successful season
of providing dance music in the students'
open air corral the student union manage-
ment has declared the automatic phono-
graph an essential part of the recreational
equipment. Equipment is being moved in-
doors for the winter and the phonos will
provide the music for dance parties.
PHILADELPHIA- Max Brown in-
tends to dispose of his local Arcade and
move to Atlantic City to take over the
Arcades of his brother who is leaving for
army service_ Brown's local Arcade is one
of the Quaker City's largest and has more
than $80,000 worth of equipment in opera-
tion. Brown will maintain his interests in
two other Arcades here now operating on
a partnership basis.
NEW YORK - George Ponser is
back in the East after a business trip to
Chicago and is quite excited about a ' new
device which can be used in conjunction
with the Panoram making it possible for
the patron to _ view a subject privately
while the sound track is heard publicly.
Idea was ' developt;d on West Coast and
makes the Panoram its own ballyhooing
device.
MEXICO CITY - Activity in the
automatic phonograph field here has shown
a tremendous growth in recent months,
mainly attributable to the growth of the
local American colony and the return of
Mexican agricultural workers from the
States where they have acquired American
record tastes. Some principles state the
business has trebled in the last three
months.
,
DETROIT - On October 22nd the
case of the United Music Operators of
Michigan against the RCA Manufacturing
Co. is scheduled to go to trial. Operators
contend that RCA's policy of requiring
one record turn-in for each new record
purchased is discriminatory and in viola-
tion of the Michigan Fair Trade Law, for
civilian purchasers are not required to fol -
low the same procedure. Suit was brought
by Eddie Clemons of Modern Music, UMO
member_

merly with Rowe at Belleville, N. J.; and

AUSTIN, Tex.- The Commodore, a
large barge on Lake Austin, is now one
of the hot spots for dance fans who are
enjoying the nightly dances to the music
of an automatic phonograph. Barge was
built by attorney Marion W. Fowler for
the use and enjoyment of himself and his
friends. Numerous requests for its use for
private parties led Fowler to believe it
would prove a popular spot if operated
commercially. Nightly ,dancing and pic-
nicking parties have proved he was right.
NEW YORK - Mr. and Mrs. Al
Cohen (Asco Vending) are the proud
parents of a beautiful, blue-eyed, blonde,
three-month-old baby girl, adopted a few
weeks ago. Child has ' been named Pearl in
