Investigators from the OPA en-
forcement division have been
checking to determine whether
any effort is being made to. use
invalidated ration stamps, but
thus far have found no violations,
William P. Dobbins, district OPA
enforcement executive, has an-
nounced.
“Stricter wartime rationing be-
came . necessary because of
changed war conditions and short-
er food supplies,” Mr. Murrell
said. “When the supply agencies
removed many foods from the ra-
tion list, the end of the European
war seemed near. Today the
situation isuite different.
We must make our greatest war
effort from now on until actual
victory. That’s why drastic ra-
tioning changes had to be made
overnight. It wouldn’t have been
fair for holders of ununed ration
stamps to drain the supply of
food so much that those having
only current stamps couldn’t have
Many Deaths In Home,
Due To Carelessness
.. - 0.0 ’’
In America it has long been
thought that home is the safest
place an individual can spend his
time. The facts, however, prove
that far from being one of the
safestrit is often one of the most
dangerous places. This condition
need not exist it proper attention
is given to making our homes safe.
In commenting on the urgent
need for the protection of life and
limb in the American home, Dr;
Geo. W. Cox, State Health Of.
Acer, recently declared that ac-
cidents in the home are the cause
of as many deaths as diptheria,
scarlet fever, whooping cough,
and measles combined; of more
than appendicitis; of nearly as
many as diabetes; of over two-
thirds as many as automobile ac-
cidents; and of over a third as
many deaths as tuberculosis.
"Slippery floor surfaces, lack of
handrails on cellar steps, absence
of protective gates at the top of
stairs in homes, where there am
small children, toys left or stain,
unanchored small rugs on polished
floors, and the careless storage of
poisons, sharp tools, and firearms
are some of the more prominent
hazards resulting in home ac-
cidents,’’ Dr. Cox said.
“However,” he added, “in the
last analysis, the problem boils
down to one of reasonable indivi-
dual caution. When we consider
that most accidents result from
carelessness, we cannot view com-
placently the more than 30,000
deaths annually from this cause.
These deaths, chargeable to
remediable carelessness, can and
should bo reduced.”
Dr. Cox declared that such a
needless and profitless loss of life
is deplorable at any time, but to
permit such a condition to persist
now in view of our national crisis,
is a neglect that cannot be con-
doned, and one which can seriously
cripple out1, war effort.

A Chinese boy learning English
is credited with the following
thesis on the banana: “The banana
are great fruit. He are construct’
ed in the same architectural style
as sausage, different being skin of
sausage are habitually consumed,
while it is , not, desirable to eat
wrappings of banana. The banana
are held aloft while consuming,
sausage are- usually left in re-
elining position. Sausage depend
for creation on human being or
stuffing machine, while banana
are pristine product of honorable
Mother Nature. In case of
sausage both conclusions are at-
tached to other sausage; banana
on other hands, are attached one

are strictly vegetable kingdom,
