Perhaps by next year the legislature will take notice of this and provide a means of laying aside some for work which should -be done now, b u t must necessarily. deferred until after the war.

Save-the-Food Campaign Under Way In Wayne County The Save-the-Food Campaign is well under way in Wayne County under the chairmanship of Morton A (Jams according to a r e p o rt given at a meeting of the committee on Persons m a y help themselves to some extent- with a Victory Gar den, but their efforts will bear ten times more results in helping the fanners to harvest their crops Monday night at the Farm Bureau K,ther than let alur£e amount “of Office in Sodus. food sPoil in the as ifc did last year. W ayne is the largest fru i t and vegetable producing county in New York State and has the largest pack volume in food processing plants. There is no city w ithin the county from which help m a y be drawn. The county is sufficiently close to industrial centers so th a t there has been a severe drain on the labor supply. A similar drain into industry has occurred from areas outside the county from which transient hc-lp has been forthcoming. M igra tory help has largely fuund steady employment. There is no question but th a t labor imported by the government will be more difficult to secure in 1943. Because of this situation the farm ers and canners of the county have organized a 5-man steering committee to direct the activities of the Save-the-Food Campaign. A program is being developed em bracing 'the contact of local com mittees that will in turn adopt the program to the local all-over sit uation. by the Motor Corps in the trans portation problem.

Abbott, president, reported to stockhol ders. This is equal to $5.28- p e r share on 209,250 shares of common stock outstanding and ¿ompares~ wifli net profit of $1,434,858 or §6.85 per share for 1941r on the same- number of shares. Nefe; income before federal taxes' amounted to $4,052,189 as against $3,316,461 for the preceding year, but to meet the more th a n 200 separate taxes assessed against the company, Mr. Abbott said a tax provision of $3,083,806 or $14.74 per common share had to be-m ade in- -1942.- -This com pares with $2,209,9G5, or $10.56 per share. During the year dividends of § 8 ; 00 -pcr-share~were paid, a total disbursement of $627,750. This is the same as the' year before. / Current assets on December 31, including $1,482,165 in cash, were reported as $6,277,715 and current liabilities 'as $3,084,379. • F o r . the preceding year etirront assets on December 31 were given as $5,- 168,516 and currant liabilities as $2,738,867. The house is in good repair and is large enough, to provide assem bly rooms, reading, rqoms, game rooms an d ' k itchen 'facilities for both tlie Legion a n d other v eteran organizations. While title to the property Is ■vested In the Legion, the avowed purpose of the transaction is to | furnish suitable rooms for veter ans of all wars, having in mind particularly, the needs of the men of the present war when they re tu r n to civil life. W hile it is not known whether the veterans of the present war will affiliate with th e American Legion, form their own veterans’ organization or 'both, nevertheless,\ it is certain they will form or^af filiate with some organization and will need suitable rooms for their meetings and \get-togethers.\ The Legion membership w a n ts these men to have the best th a t can be provided, having in m ind their own difficulties in obtaining suit able quarters. I t Is f e lt th a t such rooms will go a long ways in pro viding the proper m o ral atmos phere for our boys when they re turn.
