war planes were up 5 per cent in
weight during December, and
nearly 9,000 were made.
In connection with that, total
munitions production in 1943 was 1
up more than 80 per cent over
that of 1942, with the biggest in
creases in the fields where demand
is still urgent.

Lumber proauction was begin

not actual demand, which has in
creased by leaps and bounds. The

such important war indu: tries a*

domestic mechanical refrigerato s
and similar heavy consumer good

statement, he pointed to the haz
ards lying ahead for American
troops abroad.
Possibly because of the suc
cessful expansion' in those fields
deemed important now, WPB has
recommended termination of wore
on seven steel plant expan^ n
projects which would have co-t
nearly $100,000,000. Reason f. ,r
the recommendation is that t*e
plant, at the moment, is not need
ed in the war program. Final
action will be taken by defense
plant corporation.

Odds and Ends:
Frozen inventories of copper
tubing have been freed. But that
doesn’t mean there is excess cop
per. And, in order io have paper
work, certain regulations govern
ing raw copper have been lumped
into a new order—Construction,
as planned, dropped 13 per cent
in November, to about $400,000,000
—Some steel has been set aside
for makers of conveying machin
ery and power transmission equio
ment—It is figured that 170 mil
lion bushels of grain will be need
ed for the industrial alcohol pro
gram this year, and industry is
checking to see whether more
plants will be needed to meet the
goal—Machine tools, too, dropped
off 15 per cent in November, to a
total of about $70,0^0,000.—Sale
of track laying tractors has been
restricted to purchasers with spe
cific WPB authorization.—Restric
tions are being relaxed on making
of alloy tool steels and use of
electric furnace facilities—Plans
were made to produce 20,000,000
automotive batteries to keep essen
tial war transportation going.—
Forced water heaters now can be
sold without ratings, for replace
men t and maintenance.—Off
grade, rejected, idle or excess steel
in the hands . of manufacturers
now may be disposed of with per
mission of WPB.—Many packers,
says WPB, who turned to glass
after Pearl Harbor, now are grilng
A A AAAAAAA+nU+U
back to rnctail containers.— Be
cause Easter is earlier this year,
inventory limitation appeals will
be heard speedily.—WPB stress
ed the importance of conserving
anti-freeze.

In the Toe of
A Sourdouqh
By Grady (Tex) Robinette
If ther eis anything that will
make a Sourdough blush right
| down to his mukluks, it is to tell
him how to make sourdough hot
cakes. Though most Sourdoughs
know how to start or set sour
dough and can produce some pow
erful good eat in', there are many
of them who do not know the
origin of sourdough biscuits and
hot cakes. Many nations have
claimed to be the originators of
i sourdough. In 1416 an English
man named Chauncey L. Gaylard,
fed his field workers, in rural
: England, sourdough biscuits. Since
that time different science groups 1
have debated the scientific value
of Mr. Gaylord's sourdough bis- !
cuits, for his workers were the
huskiest of the lot. But Mr. Mar
viivS. Hart, B. S.. of Johns-Hop- .
kins, seems to have hit the nail ;
on the head when he came out
with the statement in 1920 that it
was the high vitamin B content
that did the trick, since the body
cannot store up this vital vita
min.
Other nations, as well, have had
their turn at sourdough. The
Swedes had their blatonhagons.
Even the Teutonics, their sour
mold bread. Be that all as it
may, there can be no question as
to the origin of Alaska sourdough
i bannocks. The hardy pioneers of
j the early American Western Era,
just didn’t “go for" baking pow
der. They made their cathead

Li,-cuits with buttermilk, clabbc"
or sour whey. But since, in Alas
ka, cow's milk could not be ob
tained, our sourdough came in* >
being. It was not as good as sour
rnilk but it was a good second.
There are many different meth
ods of setting sourdough but the
follow ing is the one most general
ly used.
Take one potato—about the cir
cumference of a half a dollar ‘if
you have a half dollar'—pare and
’ boil. Dissolve potato in one quart
lukewarm water, add one level
teaspoon of sugar, a pinch of salt
and gently sift in. stirring well,
enough flour to give mixture the
consistent of a light hotcake bat
ter.
Pour into a pot. preferably
earthen or wood, avoiding, of
course, any metal. Keep at about
<10 degrees temperature until well
fermented, usually about two days
and nights. Now you have the
famous sourdough starter. With
a little practice and experimenta
