ON THE HOME FRONT
With time drawing near for be-
ginning of point rationing, the gor-
eminent la anixous that Americana
on the Home Front not only under-
stand the mechanica of the program,
but alao understand the reaaona be-
hind' the plan. Comumere' can make
or break, the program, depending, on
their attitude toward the idea of
ahare-and-ahare alike.
Here are the Golden Rules of food
rationing;
!. Share your food with fighters
protecting your home.
2. Don't hoard anything. Accept
rationing cheerfully—help make It
work.
3. Learn to uae your ration book
right. Use the 8 and S point stamps
In settlement when possible, reserv-
ing the 1 and 2 point stamps for low-
point articles. Your storekeeper can-
not give you "change” in stamps.
4. Uae your point stamps wisely—
don’t run short of sumps by buying
"high point” foods where "low point”
foods will do. Buy only what you
need.
5. Plan your family’s diet carefully
—plan menues ahead for a week or a
month — see that everyone gets
enough nourishment.
6. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables
Instead of canned, bottled and, froz-
en. Use the more plentiful non-rat-
ioned foods whenever you can.
7. Lighten congestion in the
stores—shorten the waiting line at
the cash register by shopping early
In the day and in the week.
8. Don’t complain if your favorite
food is all gone. Select your next
best choice and enjoy it. This is
war.
9. Plant a Victory Garden—all you
can care for.
10. Do all the home canning possi-
ble, according to your family's needs.
to have of the "lighting foods” that
must bei shipped to the fighters—
canned foods, meats, milk, eggs, fats
and oil. But we should not worry
about the impact of rationing. We
will get enough to eat. But we will
have less variety and choice In our
foods—particularly less of the pro-
cessed fighting foods that can be
canned, dried and concentrated tor
easy shipment to the war fronts.
Rationing of what is left for civil-
ian prevents chislers and hoarders
from getting mare- than they need
while some get none. It gives every'
one an equal opportunity to buy his
fair share of the scarce foods.
Food has gone to war. American
soldiers in North Africa cannot
fight and win on a diet of figs and
dates. Fish and chips cannot give
English factory workers the strength
they need to make bombs for Ger-
man factories The liberated peo-
ples will not be able to take part in
an Allied victory on black bread and
water. Hitler has made the conquer-
ed people his servants by Uking
their food from them. We can make
them a liberated and fighting people
by giving food to them.
production of the non-seasonal soups
—chicken, vegetable, clam or fish
chowder and the like. Home-made
soup stocks will return to favor, and
with them, many other soups made
from market—fresh fruits and vege-
tables.
And as the point system of ration-
ing divides ' up the limited supplies
of canned fruits, vegetables, and
fruits, good- cooking at fresh food
products will become- an even more-
vital part of the whole war program
Under point rationing, which
scheduled to get under way around
the first of March, each consumer
will be allowed 5 cans of the pro-
cessed foods. Only cans of eight
ounces and over will be counted.
Home-canned foods will not be coun-
ted. Deduction of an eight-point
stamp for each can held in the fami-
ly unit in excess of five cans per per-
son will be made equally from all
ration books in the family groups.
Thus each book will retain at least
one half of its original points for.
each ration period, enabling the hoi
der to provide food variety to meet
dietary requirements.
Ration Banking Begins In Southwest
Some 3,000 commercial banks in

ri, Kansas and Arkansas undertook

The problem of getting enough'0PA'8 national plan for ration bank-

ing as many of them as possible on
the farms through deferment from

ferring farm workers engaged In
raising essential war crops has been
extended by adding to the list of es

ing Is designed to take a burden off
the shoulders of local war price and
ration boards and to simplify the
handling of ration stamps for retail-
ers and wholesalers of sugar and
coffee. Coffee roasters, primary dis-
tributors of sugar, wholesalers of
coffee and sugar, retailers of coffee
and sugar who own more than one
store, and retailers whose gross food
sales in December, 1942, were $5000
or over, are required to open ration
bank accounts. Other food retailers
may open accounts for their own
convenience.
Theft Of Ration Stamps Is

bock, Amarillo, Muskogee, Okla., and

“J was just teUin‘ my brother Fred this
morning. Judge...there’s never been a time
in our lives when we got to live up to that
old sayin’ ‘United we stand, divided we fall’
more than we have to today.”
“How true that is, Herb. And for the
life of me, I can’t figure out why, at a time
like this, some folks insist on raising a ques-
tion like prohibition. I can’t imagine any-
thing that would tickle our enemies more
than to get us folks over here taking aides
against each other, arguing about an issue
like that. We’ve got a he-man’s job on our
hands to win this war and we can’t be
wasting our minds, our money and our
strength fighting about something we
tried for nearly 14 years and found couldn’t
work.
“I say there’s a time and a place for
everything* and this is no time o| plans to
be doing any fightin’ except the find that'*
going to win the war."
