Of joy and content—just over the

If our taxes are sky-high compared to what they

their amount 10 years ago, you can be sure there's
a good reason: UNCLE SAM NEEDS THEM TO
HELP WIN THE WAR and we're glad we're able to

Don't forget that other way we can all help buy

reasons, investing in war bonds is the shrewdest

' NEGRO WOMEN HIRED IN
| WASHINGTON NAVY YARD
FOR THE FIRST TIME
| For the first time in history. Ne
!srrp women are now being employe!
in skilled jobs in the Washington
Navy Yard. Within recent months
more tahn 300 specially trained ma
chine workers and mechanic help
ers have been given jobs there at
wages averaging $45 per week an-i
| more are being employed at the rate
of 50 a month.
This development resulted from
the efforts of the National Youth
Administration and the Project
manager and staff of the NYA War
Production training school at 1327
S Street, N. W„ Washington, D. C.
This school .now working on a 24
hour basis, offers free training in
arc and gas welding, sheet metal
work, aircraft riveting, drafting,
clerical work .radio construction,
small parts assembly, code receiv
ing and sending, and in other jobs ;
now in demand in the war produc-1
tion battle on the ohme front.
The school is open to youths of
all races between the ages of 16 to
25 .but because of Selective Service
requirements and dmands of the
armed forces, most of its pupils arc
women. The average enrollment
ranges from 500 to 550 and in addi
tion to placing workers regularly
in the Washington Navy Yard, the
center hits placed its graduates in

SAYS RETURNING NEGRO
SOLDIER TO BE DIFFERENT
LITTLE ROCK, Feb. 19 (ANP) —
The Negro soldier who- returns
“with a global experience” will be
a different Negro from one with
only a farm hand’s experience in
Arkansas, Alabama and Mississip
pi, the Rev. G. Wayman Blakely,
pastor of the Bethel A ME church,
told more than 1,000 colored and
white persons attending the sixth
annual meeting of the Urban Lea
gue of Greater Little Rock at the
Wesley Chapter Methodist church
tris week.
The Rev. Blakely warned against
"the danger of minorities assuming
that all majorities are indifferent to
their well-being.” He said Negro
es returning from the war have a
right to expect a greater equality
of opportunity than exists at pres
ent.
“There will face us the problem
of disfranchisement in State and
municipal affairs that continue to
breed ill-will and dissipate the en
ergy that could be utilized in con
structive activities”, he said. “We
shall face a new Negro with i new
outlook and world vision.
“We want no part of Hitler, Mus
solini and Hirohito. The Negro is
no lesr patriotic- today than he was
when Crisp us Attucks became the
List offering on the altar of dem
ocracy. This meeting is proof of
the soundness of our beliefs, for
meetings such as this where both
races are gathered together to dis
cuss their problems are inconceiv
able in countries dominated by the
axis powers.”
Rev. Blakely was introduced by
A-ttJ. J. R. Booker, vice president
of the league.
Clifford E. Minton, executive sec
retary, pointed out among other ,i
chievements of the league during
the year that
(1) Seven Negro policemen had
been appointed in Little Roc* in j
line with league recommendations
and trat the league was requested
to submit names of candidates,
(2) A Negro public health nurse
had been appointed by the city
health department which had been
recommended on several occasions.
(3) The employment of Negro
skilled production line operators by
Hie Arkansas Ordnance plant, aftcr
a 10 month series of conferences
find over-coming many discouraging j
factors. The league was called up-1
I on to select and refer the first
group of 125 workers, including
line leaders, inspectors, supervisors,
and a stenographer.
(4) Establishment of the Amelia
B. Ives Memorial scholarship iol'
social work; the selection and en
rollment of Miss Paulleatha V.
Petty a« recipient, who is enrolled
at the Atlanta University School
of Social Work.
CALLS FOR PLANNED
ECONOMY
Calling for a planned economy to
prevent another post war depres
sion, Major General Philip B. Flem
|ing, Administrator of the Federal
Works Agency, urged a national
program of post war public works,
in a Lincoln’s Birthday address be
fore the Providence. R. L Urban,
League. Discussing the role of the
Negro worker in the post-war Per
iod, General Fleming declared:
“The Negro worker is the pres
ent beneficiary of a war-time situ
ation. Thanks largely to the man
power shortage, the Negro is tak
ing a long step forward along the
way to economic emancipation. The
(problem after the war will be to
hold the gains already made and to
extend them. That is not going to
be easy.
“If this war should be followed
by another deep an.d bitter depres
sion, I think it is a foregone con
clusion that most of the Negro’s
new gains are going to be lost. His
best hope for the future, .and inci
dentally the best hope for all the
rest of us, also—is that we may con
tinue an economy of full employ
j ment with equal opportunities for
all. I think we will be able to do
that. To the extent that the Fed
earl Works Agency may be permit
ted to contribute to that objective
through its participation in a nat
ional program of post-war public
works, I can assure you that the
same degree of non-discriminatory
protection will be afforded the
worker, whether white or black, in
peace time as in war.

WHY CANNED FRUITS, VEGETABLES, AND SOUPS
ARE RATIONED
Every week we are sending shiploads of canned
goods to feed our fighting men and our fighting
allies in Africa, Britain, and the Pacific islands,
must see that they get all the food they need.
We at home will share all that is left. Point
Rationing will be used to guarantee you and every
one a fair share of America’s supply of canned and
processed fruits and vegetables, soups and juices.
-HOW they are rationed—
Every eligible man, woman,
child, and baby in the United
States is being given War
Ration Book Two. (This book
will not be used for sugar or
coffee.)
NATION BOOKS
FOR ALL
2. The BLUE stamps are for any kind of
Canned or Bottled Fruits and Vegetables
Canned or Bottled Juices and Soups
Frozen Fruits and Vegetables
Dried Fruits
[(The red stamps will be used later for meat.)
3. The stamps in this hook are
POINT stamps. The NUM
BER on each stamp shows you
how many POINTS that stamp
is worth.
^ NUMBER
SHOWS POINTS
4. The LETTERS show you WHEN to use the
stamps. The year will be divided into rationing
periods. You can use all BLUE stamps marked
A, B, and C in the first rationing period. A, B,
and C stamps cannot be used after the first ration
ing period ends.
ONLY BLUE A, B, and C STAMPS
'CAN BE USED IN 1st PER'OD
5. You must us© the BLUE stamps when you buy
" ANY KIND of the rationed processed foods.
See the official list, showing every kind of ra
tioned processed food, at your grocers. Dif
ferent kinds of these foods will take different
numbers of points. For example, a can of
beans may take a different number of points
from a can of peas.
Fruits Fruits Fruits Juices Fruits
Vegetables Vetetibles Soups Vofetables
D Catsup Soups
Cbll Sum Jukes
(See Complete Official Ust it Tour Grocers) Baby Foods
6. Of course, the more of anything you buy the
more points it will take. For example, a large
can of peas takes more points than a small can.
7. The Government will set the points for each kind
- and size and send out an Official Table of Point
' Values which your grocer must put up where
you can see it. The Government will keep
careful watch of the supply
of these processed foods
and make changes in point
values from time to time,
probably not oftener than
: once a month. The Gov
ernment will announce
these changes when it
makes them and they will
be put up in the stores.
8. The number of points for
each kind of processed '
food will be THE SAME WATCH THE
in ALL STORES and ia OFFICIAL TABLE OF
all parts of the country. POINT VALUES
Use Your OLD Ration Book for SUGAR and COFFEE
HOW TO USE YOUR NEW RATION BOOK
TO BUY CANNED OR BOTTLED FRUITS, VEGETABLES, SOUPS, AND JUICES;
FROZEN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES; DRIED FRUITS
1. The Government has set the day when this ra
tioning will start. On or after that day, take
your War Ration Book Two with you when you
go to buy any kind of these processed foods.
| 14 POINTsj 8 POINTS |
YOU GIVE MANY POINTS YOU GIVE LESS POINTS
FOR SCARCE FOODS FOR FOODS THAT ARE
NOT SO SCARCE
2. Before you buy, find out how many points to
give for the kind of processed foods you want.
Prices do not set the points. The Government
will set different points for each kind and size
no matter what the price. Your grocer will put
up the official list of points where you can see
it. It will also be in the newspapers. The
points will not change just because the prices do.
3. When you buy, take the right
amount of blue stamps out of
the book. Do this in front of
your grocer or delivery man
and hand them to him. The
grocer must collect a ration
stamp, or stamps, for all the
rationed processed foods he
sells. Every rationed processed
food will take points as well as money.
4. Do not use more stamps than you need to make
up the right amount. For example, if the food
you buy calls for 13 points it is better to tear
out an 8-point and a 5-point stamp than two 5
point stamps and a 2- and a
1-point stamp. Save your
smaller point stamps for low
point foods. You can take the
stamps from more than one
book belonging to your house
hold if you need to.
5. Every person in your house- 1
hold, including children of any smmpsE wtth
age, has a total of 48 points to AqJj'c
use for all these processed them
foods for one ration period.
.This means that you may use
ALL the blue stamps marked
A, B, and C from all the books ,
during the first period. You may use as many
of the blue A, B, and C stamps as you wish at one
time. When they are used up you will not be
able to buy any more of these processed foods till
the next stamps are good. The Government will
announce the date when the next stamps are good.
6. Use your household’s points carefully so that you
will not run out of stamps. And buy with care
to make your points come out even, because the
grocer will not be able to give you change in
stamps. Use high-point stamps first, if you can.
IMPORTANT
You may use /ILL the books of the household
to buy processed foods for the household.
Anyone you wish can take the ration books
to the store to do the buying for you or your
household.
1 ' * A FAIR SHARE FOR ALL
TT e cannot afford, to waste food or give some
people more than their fair share. . . . That is
why canned fruits and vegetables are rationed
and that is why meat is going to be rationed.
Rationing of some foods is the best and fairest
way to be sure that every American gets enough
to eat.
