The giant "King Crab" of the Bering Sea, which before the war supplied a substantial amount of the canned crab meat which the Japanese sold to the United States, will be canned commercially by Americans for the first time this year. Prior to the war the Japanese were taking the "King Crab" in sight of American territory, canning it on floating canneries, and shipping it to the United States for sale. In one pre-war year alone we imported 10,720,000 pounds of crab meat valued at 4,582,000 dollars from Japan and ninety-five percent of our canned crab meat came from this source

America's youth builds and flies model planes on miniature flying fields. This unusual model airplane, a composite of several different types, is launched by its youthful builder at Modelhaven Airport, "the smallest airport in the world," near the city of Baltimore in the eastern state of Maryland. Model building is a popular hobby among young Americans, who band together in clubs and classroom groups to turn out model airplanes of every type and variety. When the U.S. government in 1941 called on model plane builders to turn out 800,000 scale model airplanes for use by the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Army, and civilian defense groups to train their personnel to recognize hostile and friendly aircraft, it was estimated that there were nearly three million American youths actively interested in aero-modelling

If the Bakers' Union Knew. What goes on in Montenegro among the followers of their craft, there would be a great to-do. For after a baker gets done baking, he goes out himself and peddles the bread. Like the picture, the bread is carried on a long board, containing thirty three loaves weighing five pounds each some load. But while the housewives can't complain of the service, the American doctors and nurses who are fighting the American doctors and nurses who are fighting disease in the Balkan country don't like the method. It is unsanitary and many cases of disease have been traced to it, according to the Americans. This custom and many others connected with the food supply, the Americans are trying to correct in aiding Montenegro to get on its feet again

The giant "King Crab" of the Bering Sea, which before the war supplied a substantial amount of the canned crab meat which the Japanese sold to the United States, will be canned commercially by Americans for the first time this year. Prior to the war the Japanese were taking the "King Crab" in sight of American territory, canning it on floating canneries, and shipping it to the United States for sale. In one pre-war year alone we imported 10,720,000 pounds of crab meat valued at 4,582,000 dollars from Japan and ninety-five percent of our canned crab meat came from this source
