Production and service priorities for supplying the population The necessary measures being taken to preserve the consequences of bad weather and heavy rains, as well as to keep the damage under control, are producing results. In all districts work is under way to stabilize the situation, improve the supply to the population and normalize life. In many enterprises and agricultural cooperatives, work has continued to overcome difficulties, to secure bread, food and other vital goods. In towns and villages, many forces have been mobilized to improve traffic conditions and organize supplies. The organs of people’s power, the Party organizations, the youth and front organizations, together with the working masses, are giving a high example of responsibility and socialist solidarity. This working situation once again demonstrates the superiority of our social order, of the socialist system, which in every circumstance places the human being and his needs at the center.
