THE FEVERISH SOVIET
BREAKING OUTPUT RECORDS. NO REST FOR RUSSIANS. MOSCOW. Soviet workers prepared for an onslaught on production records to celebrate the first anniversary of the Staklianovite movement, August 31. New production records established by the movement were announced. It was said that a coal miner named Ocnkovsky had mined 37 times the normal amount. A worker laid 2030 bricks in one day, and another lasted 4150 pairs of shoes in a day. Kamchatka fishermen vowed to catch at least 1500 tons of fish on the day of celebration. The Commissariat of Agriculture announced that the grain harvest in the Ukraine had surpassed the 1035 yield. liie Stakhanovite movement dramatises the- nation-wide campaign to increase production. It is to the second five-year plan what the famous slogan "five years' Y' or fc iw four" was to the first five-year plan.
