Food has become a mighty weapon of war. As always, perfect etiquette is nothing more or less than good sense tempered with good taste." Afrs. Oliver Harriman, author of " BOOK OF ETIQUETTE ' Why the time has come to take a new look at our FOOD in rela tion to the war. Everything from manners to menus is involved. And H's really up to you! Maybe you think a dab of gravy and a fleck of chicken are mighty little things. But they are a part of our total food. They stand for the greatest single weapon in the war. Putting it plainly: There is not enough food available in this country to satisfy all the wartime demands at home and abroad in spite of food production records that have grown and grown for 6 consecutive years. Every single crumb of food has become im portant. What you waste someone wants! Here's Food's Job !. Out of our total food supply, we must be sure there's enough to feed millions of our sons who are a long way from home. Many of the foods we like best are the foods our fighting men need most. Meat is one of them. And butter and fats. And milk products. And canned goods. A fighting man eats as much in 2 meals as a civilian eats in 3. But no one begrudges him his appetite. The vast stores of food which must be set aside for shipment to our armed forces would feed the entire nation for 10 whole days. But no one has been called upon to miss a single meal at home. 2. There must be enough food to keep a busy nation well-nourished and fit. That is a big job today. Because people who are head-over-heels in war work have bigger appetites and more money to spend on food. In fact most of the extra dollars that are being earned by millions of war workers are rushing into our food stores. That's because there are no automobiles, refrig erators and other everyday prod ucts to buy. Hence, control of prices to hold the cost of food within the reach of all. Without rationing of the country's most popular foods first come would be served all of available stocks. Long lines of people would be left waiting for foods that would be chronically sold out. 3. And the food that is not needed for Americans at home and abroad is used to fight a special kind of battle for us. It is sent to the Russians who are fighting our enemies. They need food desperately because the Axis has hit them hard in the bread basket. It is sent to our English Allies who can't possibly produce enough food for 46 million people in a country no bigger than our State of Oregon. (Canada sends England much food, but our food also is needed to help keep England going at top war speed.) It is sent to feed the people who are liberated from Axis oppression every time the United Nations win a new victory. This food is fighting, just as our planes and guns and tanks fight. It is helping the people on our side to shorten the war and save American lives. The food we now send on Lend-Lease amounts to only 1 0 of our total supply. It is an investment in Victory. As Americans, we have become used to plenty. We now must learn to be careful of food. Every day we still wasre almost as much food as we send to our fighting Allies. Right now is the time to change that. Respect food. Make the most of every crumb. Do every " "thing in your power to make FOOD FIGHT FOR FREEDOM! Here's YOUR Job! 1. PRODUCE FOOD, where and when you can. Farmers are urged to meet farm goals. City families are urged to plan a bigger Victory Garden, to help out on a farm or in a food processing plant if possible. 2. CONSERVE FOOD. Can and preserve food. Cut waste. Stretch your food sup ply by substituting plentiful for scarce foods. Balance your meals for good nutrition. 3. SHARE FOOD. Put the war's food de mands first. Share the supplies willingly with your armed forces, your Allies, your neighbors. ' 4. PLAY SQUARE WITH FOOD. Accept no rationed foods without giving up ration stamps. Pay no more than top legal prices under any circumstances.

THE OFFICE OP PRICE ADMINISTRATION AND THE WAR FOOD ADMINISTRATION Chaplains Found In Unity Over W ar Service Field Head of the Chaplains Department Visits Armed Forces in Many Parts of the World Redecorates Bakery Washington, Nov. 27. ( UP) Pro testantism's greatest unity is found today among its array and navy tbaplaius. Dr. William Barrow Pugh of Philadelphia, chairman of the Protestant general commission on chaplains, reported upon his return from a 91-day world-circling tour of war theaters. Pugh, who served in France as a World War I chaplain and now is chief executive of the Presbyterian church in the U. S., traveled at presidential request as official repre sentative overseas of American pro ttstantism. "We are still far from the unity the Catholic chaplains have," Pugh said, lie will start soon on a nation-wide speaking tour to enlist a greater backing of the chaplains by the 31 protestant denominations represented in the commission which he heads. Chaplains in this war are in the front lines, parachuting to earth with their troops, helping ihe lit ter bearers ministering to the wound ed in the first aid tents and general ly "living up to the spirit of the outfit to which they are attached," he reported. He acclaimed their de votion to duty. Morale is a problem among sol diers at isolated stations, not in combat zones, Pugh said. '"When a man is in action his morale is good," Pugh said. "Their chief concern is home." "Strikes are one thing they can't understand. They don't stop to con -sider extenuating circumstances. They see red." Pugh said he some times wonders why strike news was ent abroad for armed service consumption. The following from the Upton, (Wyoming) paper tells of the im provement made on the bakery at that place. Local interest is the fact that the owner is Johnny Allen, son of .Mr. and Mrs. Miles Allen of this city. "Upton's popular bakery has just undergone a complete interior de corating job, which adds beauty as well as convenience to the baking establishment. "The interior decorating job was done by Budgy Schlupp. "In addition to this work, the own ers, Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Allen, have purchased -a large new display case for the thow room and also other bakery equipment which mod ernizes this fine place to the last point in the way of a clean and up-to-date bakery establishment. "Upton people will be surprised at the new beauty of this business bouse when they call there." Study Butter Report Washington, Nov. 27. (UP) The leport of Son. Hugh A. Butler, R., Nebr.. on the administration's "good neighbor" policy is being studied by the joint congressional economy committee, preparatory to an inves tigation, it was revealed today. Joseph I... Borda. director of the committee headed by Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D., Va., said that if the ma terial is worth while the committee would investigate not only Nelson Rockefeller's office of coordinator of Internationa! Affairs but other agen cies involved. VI e President Henry A. Wallace, in an apology to Latin American neighbors for Butler's "shocking slur," promised that official refu tation of v-harges that the adminis tration's Latin American policy perpetuates new world dictatorships and fosters wars to be forthcoming. Men Want Varga Girl Richmond, Cal., has inaugurated a new tax of $10 per business and $1 per employee to raise funds to cope with its huge population influx due to an 'almost overnight mush rooming into one of the nation's largest shipyards. WHERE THE FUEL GOES A PLANT manufacturing air planes in New England burns 800,000 gallons of fuel oil a month. Washington, Nov. 27. (UP) The men in the fox holes rather than "well fed' Washington bureaucrats should decide whether the Varga girl is lascivious and obscene, the usually staid army and navy register said today in going all out for the Esquire magazine lovely. The Register said there was lit tle doubt about what the fox hole verdict would be, and backed up its argument with a letter from a navy I chaplain defending the cursacious- ncss. The Register cited a letter from a naval chaplain who recommended to satisfy our Seabees: "1. Thirty cay furlough in the United States. 2. A Varga girl to be printed in our Seabee paper here." The Register quoted the chaplain stationed with a Seabee oufit on a lonely Pacific island as saying his men "would go all out for a Varga girl dedicated to them and drawn for them.' oryd"uSSn tgy . eh MMmktchur 1943 NOVEMBER 1343 TUF.j FRI ISAT 14 2 3 4 5 6 13 20 21 27 281291301 I 1 1 PRINTING that pleases PRINTING that gets results THERE'S no use in lighting a firecracker merely to hear a s-s-z-z-z ; you light it because you want to hear it go "B-A-N-G!"
