Third War Loan Drive
Fifteen billion dollars is the goal
for the Third War Loan which Pres-
ident Roosevelt has proclaimed will
be launched Septmber 9. In his pro-
clamation the President Bair, "Our
need for money now is greater than
ever, and will continue to grow un-
til the very day that Victory is
won; so we must ask far more sac-
rifice, far more more cooperation
than ever before.”
Army Photo Service Grows
The Army’s radio photo service
which made it possible for the pu-
blic to see newspaper pictures of
the assault on Sicily on the same
day that the invasion was launch-
ed, will be augmqpted in the im-
mediate future by the same type
of transmission from the South
Pacific theater, the War Depart-
ment has announced. Personnel of
the U. S. Army Signal Corps, with
their equipment, arc now in A’is-
tralia, finishing preparations for
the new service.
Supply of Fats, Oils
Despite heavy wartime demands
on the supply of edible fats and
oils (principally lard, butter,
pounds per capita—about 5 pounds
less than 1942—will be made avail-
able to American civilians during
the 12 months ending June !>3, 1911,
the War Food Administration lyis
announced. Of the total civilian
allocation, approximately 9 ounces
per week per capita will be avail-
able for direct purchases, and an
additional 4*4 ounces for indirect
. consumption in such item as res-
| tuurant meals, bakery products,
> mayonnaise, etc.
Cost of Living Drops
With other living costs relative-
ly stable, a drop in fresh vegetables
and butter prices cut the cost of
living for city worker by 0.2 per-
cent in the month ending June 15—
the first month to show a reduction
since a year before Pearl Har-
bor, the U. S. Department of La-
bor reported recently Food prices
as a whole Making up '40 percent
of the cost of living Index, declin-
ed 0.8 percent. The cost of living
index now stands at 124.8 percent
of the 1935-39 average. Food prices
are 45 percent above January 1941
and more than 16 perecent above
May 1942.
Home Canners Warned
Home canners have been warned
by the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture against the use of “can-
ning powders” and other chemical
preservatives. W. G. Campbell,
Commissioner of "tWe Federal Food
and Drug Administration, said
that use of sune of the “canning i
powders” constitutes a definite
health hazard. The term “canning j
powders,” include boric acid and
its compound and substances like
metabisulfite which yield sulfur
dioxide wjj^n brought in contact
with an acidrcacting food product.
The safe way for the home canner
is to process foods adequately with
heat and not to use chemical pre-
servatives. For safety’s sake, rely
on thorough heat sterilization.
Army Exchanges Sell Exotic Wares
Army exchanges, which follow
American troops, wherever they
go, are now dealing in such items
as kangaroo rugs, grass skirts, and
native-made jewelry, in addition
to their staple line of cigarettes,
candy, soft drinks, and other home
commodities, the War Department
has bogn informed. Since many of
the soldiers want to send such
things home, the Exchange Ser-
vice buys them from the natives
at a reasonable price and resells
them to the soldiers. The natives
were inclined to “jack up the price”
on direct sales. Grass skirts sell
for approximately $1.50 while good
kangaroo rug may cost $20.
Flood Restoration Loans
Flood restoration loans to en-
able farmers to get their flood-
damaged farms back into pro-
duction have been authorized in
314 counties in Arkansas, Indiana,
.Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Mine-
sota, Mississippi, Missouri, . Ohio,
Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Texas.
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
R. Wickard announced recently.
Two types of loans will be avail-
able to eligible fanners; real es-
state restoration loans which may
be made for a period of up to 20
years and Will bear interest at
3V4 percent; and production re-
storation loans which may run as
bmg as 10 years and will bear in-
terest at 5 percent. These loans will
oo made only to farmers who do
ot have other credit available and
security must be provided. Far-
mers needing flood restoration
oans should apply to their nearest
Kapm Security Administraton coun-
ty l_ffic:‘. *
Gas Coupons Changed for 'Crips
Motorists can use their “A” ra-
tion books for trips into, or out of,
,:i: r.astcrn gasoline shortage
trea, according to rules recently
announced by OPA. "Since July 21,
Eastern motorists have been using
“A-6” coupons, while those out-
side the East have been using
“A-7\s”. To overcome these diffi-
culties in travel “across the bor-
der” a new amendment to the Gas-
oline: Rationing Regulations permit
“A” ration holders to exchange
any of their valid “A” coupons for
other coupons that may be used in
the area in which they expect to
travel. Exchanges, may be made
and further information secured
at the War Price and Rationing
Board.
Point Reduction Continued
The provision permitting retail-
ers to make emergency reductions
in the point values of rationed
meats, fats and dairy products in
imminent danger of spoiling which
was to empire Tuly 31, has been ex-
tended indefinitely, OPA has an-
nounced.
Mass Mailing Finished
Approximately 122,600,000 co-
pies of War Ration Book Three
had been mailed by the firat of
last week. OPA announced that:
(1) anyone who does not receive
his War Ration Book Three should
apply at his local board between
August 1 and 10. (2) a plan is now
being set up to distribute War Ra-
tion Book Three to members of
the armed services who are elig-
ible for ration books; (3) persons
receiving Wur Ration Book Three
should sign their names and ad-
dresses in the spaces reserved for
that purpose on the cover.
