We have heard on the radio to-
day (March 20) that our clothes
coupons are to be cut down. We
were allotted 65 coupons per
year, now we are to be allowed
60 coupons for a period of 14
months and we are to receive our
new coupons on June first, of
which only 20 can be used from
that date to October. The short-
age of material is very great and
they cannot afford the shipping
space. I suppose clothes ration-
ing will come into force in the
United States.
There is also a great paper
shortage in England. Every
scrap of waste paper must now
be saved for salvage. An order
has come into force forbidding
anyone to throw their tram tick-
ets away, nor must any paper be
burned. Cosmetics are also very
difficult to obtain; chemists are j
manufacturing their own, but
they are not as good as the pat-
ent brands.

The gift of one book from
every man, woman and child in
Aransas Pass is the goal for the
“Victory Book Campaign” spon-
sored by the American Library
Association, the Red Cross, and
the United Service Organizations,
Miss Margaret Allen, local chair-
man, said this week.
“We’re going to build up a
‘stockpile’ of books,” miss Allen
said, “sufficient to insure that
every soldier, sailor and marine
will have reading and study ma-
terial for his spare time; surgly
it is a small thing to ask of us
who must stay at home, that we
take at least one book out of our
home libraries and donate it
to the men who are fighting our
battles.”
The goal of the national cam- i
paign is a stack of books some j
thirty miles high — ten million I
titles—and the local goal of one j
book for each person in this j
community so that “we can do |
our part — and more than our j
part.”

What kind of books? Well,
what kind have you?
Magazines, even those as much
as 18-months old, are also wanted
for the libraries in the camps
and on board ships. A variety of
story magazines, technical maga-

Auxiliary Serves
Cakes to Soldiers
—Buy Bonds—
Homemade cakes “like mother
used to make” were served to the
soldiers stationed at Port Aransas
by several women of the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary of
Aransas Pass Sunday.
The women took 14 cakes to
the island and served them from
two long tables at the camp. Of
the 195 good-sized pieces cut, all
but a few were served and the
few pieces not eaten at that time
were left with the cook to be
served later.
Sunday was the initial trip of
e Auxiliary to Port Aransas to
serve the men home-cooked
sweets and it was reported a de-
cided success.
The next time they go, which
will be in the near future, they
will take pies, the soldiers having
been given their preference.
Asked their favorite kinds, most
of them said apple pie, with
cherry pie running second.
Free transportation for the
Auxiliary members was furnish-
ed by W. A. Scrivner of the
Causeway Company.

New High in Ship Production
LIBERTY SHIPS BEING PITTED OUT AT A BETHLEHEM YARD PREPARATORY TO SEA SERVICE. THE YARD IS PRODUCING A CONTINUOUS STREAM OP VESSELS OP THIS TYPE.
Bethlehem ship production this year will represent the greatest
all-round shipbuilding output by any company in the history of the
country.
Speed, speed and more speed is the constant objective; and
always speed with quality, for a jerry-built ship is virtually
useless in the grim tasks of maritime war.
The first Liberty ship which recently discharged supplies at
a Red Sea port was built in a yard that was virtually non-
existent a year ago. A tanker was delivered in 100 days from
laying of keel. A battleship will be delivered 14 months ahead
of schedule.
Cargo ships are being built in less than one-half the time
required in the first World War. Comparable speeding up has
been achieved on other types of ships and the schedule is being
constantly stepped-up. *
Expanding old yards, building new ones, tripling employ-
ment in a year’s time, training thousands of new men, putting
every effective facility to use, adopting pre-assembly and mass
production methods—all these spell tonnage and more tonnage,
a steadily-mounting output of ships from Bethlehem yards.
All hands are doing their utmost for Victory, working to
achieve the maximum for the U. S. Navy and the U. S. Mari- i
time Commission, so that the “bridge of ships” shall be main*
tained and steadily enlarged.
