Say Pressure
Cookers To Be
Rationed Also
Because the supply of pressure
cookers ia so far short of meet-
ing the demand, all pressure
cookers produced in 1943 will be
rationed.
The U. .S. Department of
Agriculture will allocate pres-
sures to the states, but no other
details of this phase of the ra-
tioning program have been an-
nounced, according to Winifred
Jones, specialist in food preserva-
tion for the A. and M. College
Extension Service. She says
during 1943 material for only
150,090 pressure canners has
be/enl released by the War Pro-
duction Board to three manufac-
turers, through the efforts of
the USDA. Because of the ra-
tioning plan, the manufacturers
will fill no orders from individ-
ual users.
Miss Jones says the war-time
cookers will be made of. steel
rather than aluminum, and will
be equipped wifth a flat rack but
no basket or pans. The cover
will have a protective tin coat-
ing, while the body will be enam-
eled. Capacity of the cookers
will be seven quart jars. The
specialist emphasizes that these
tin and enamel coatings scratch
more easily than aluminum, so
they must be given special care.
Scratches cause the steel base to
rust, and rust weakens the walls
of the cooker.
"Avoid sharp blows, over-heat-
ing, boiling dry, or cleaning your
cooker with hard, abrasive pow-
ders,” Miss Jones warns. Heat-
ing grease or fat at high tem-
peratures in a tin plated cooker
may cause the tin to melt, so the
cooker should not be used for
rendering lard or searing meat.
No shortage in glass jars ot
jar seals is foreseen unless the
greatly expanded food preserva-
tion program causes a “run” on
canning supplies. There fs no
restriction on the number of tin
cans that may be sold to home
canners. '

Helpy-Selfy
Drug Store Is
To Be Opened
A helpy-selfy drug store is to
be opened at 223 Main street
about April 5th, it is announced
by C. A. Sherard, owner of the
Baier drug store at 230 Main
street,
Mr, Sherard stated that the
problem of clerk help which is
becoming more acute is to be
met in the new place by the sys-
tem. A checking counter and
cashier will Ibe at the front and
goods will be displayed and
marked plainly and the customer
will wait on himself.
The ^location of the new project
has been a stand for drug stores
for more than forty years, but
was closed down some months
back. Carl Thomas bought the
fixtures and planned to open a
cafeteria, in addition to his other
cafe interests. Deelay in secur-
ing needed fixtures, together with
the enlarged and rearranged grill
operated by him at 109 South
Burnett, caused him sell his lease
an,d fixtures at 223 Main to Mr.
Sherard.

FARMERS EfECLARED TO
BE PAYING OFF LOANS
Houston, Texas.—A steady in-
crease in the number of long-
term Land Bank farm mortgage
loans paid in full in Texas this
year is reported by the Federal
Land Bank of Houston.
Last year one loan out of
every ten was paid out com-
pletely and the first part of
1943 has brought a doubling of
the number of pay-offs in the
same period for 1942.
“Getting farmers and ranchmen
out of debt on their land is one
of the biggest accomplishments of
the Land Bank System,” said
President Sterling C. Evans.
“The Land Bank was established
to serve agriculture on a busi-
ness basis, from a long range
viewpoint. It is one of the few
farm mortgage institutions •which
permits the borrowers' to pay on
or before maturity of the debt."
New Quarters
Provided For
Ration Board
The Denison Ration board is
this week moving into enlarged
quarters, and the new home is to
be on the first floor of the Se-
curity building where the Blue
Bonnet Cafe has been operating.
The new home will permit all
records to be kept in the same
quarters rather than having to
use the vaults of local banks for
records as has been the custom.
The new home is provided with
a liarge vault which was used by
the Security Bank which operated
at one time in that location.
The new quarters will be
equipped with furniture more be-
fitting for the work that is to be
carried on and also the public
will be less inconvenienced while
awaiting their turn. The con-
gestion on the second floor of
the building at the old quarters
has been very pronounced at
times.
