A farmer in Bibb County. Ga.
was this week fined 825 or 50 days
In Jell because he wasted a plowing
day by being dnink. The Judge told
the offender that absence from
farm work during times of food
shortage is Just as serious ss ab-

A tiny grill has been developed
for the use of members of the

marily for members of the air

will fit Into a soldiers pocket. Heat
Is generated by small tablets. Thus
soldiers can quickly get heated and

recently by the Management Re-

that Id 1942 Absenteeism resulted In
the loss of more than 422.700 man

- was an Increase of 72X00 days over
the loss In 1041. In order to make
up for this loss of time. Industry
has had to maintain - 1X50X00 ex-
