...tough teams will tangle this afternoon when Adams meets Kirkland. The Gold Coasters have a record of one win and one loss, having beaten Eliot and lost to Dudley. The Deacons beat Leverett and tied Dunster, and are rated favorites...
...from Pocahontas mines at the rate of 433,066 tons a week (current Pocahontas weekly production: 6-to-700,000 tons a week). Hampton Roadsters worked days, nights and Sundays loading ship holds and bunkers. Pennsylvania Railroad's Norfolk & Western Railway has been setting a new coal loading record daily. Mine owners have forgotten restriction agreements, are trying to get onto a six-day week. Chief obstacle: the labor supply, long unemployed and insecure, of Appalachian coal fields is now insufficient.

Typical is copper, which the Allies have passed by in favor of purchases from African, Chilean, and Canadian sources; Germany, in favor of Balkan metal.

Whether they blow things up for Nazi...
Night of the Poor is the answer to that question. Like The Asiatics its only plot is a record of travel, but this time the traveler is a 17-year-old boy bumming his way south from Wisconsin to his home in Texas. Tom starts out with his friend Pete, a mindless blond giant with curly hair on his chest who almost immediately mag netizes a colored farm girl, troubles Tom's flesh by getting as far as taking down her dress before he remembers to send Tom away. This scene, equal parts Steinbeck and Pierre Louys, is followed...
