JOIN THE C&f1 (Civilian BonJ i Point Rationing Brings Equitable Sharing, Food Administration Officials Announce .N Enough Food for All U. S. Promised; Sub-standar- d Diets Said Unnecessary Even though Americans will have to have a ration book with their can opener starting next month when all canned, dried and frozen fruits and vegetables are rationed, those who live on farms and in the rural section of America will fare much better than their city dwelling friends and relatives. will be required, according to Leon Henderson, OPA director. Food administration officials have hinted that for a while the point rationing plan will be somewhat confusing. They feel, though, that the American people will be able to swing into the point purchasing amount of time plan in a minimum with but little complaint, and witn the same spirit they have shown the past year of war effort. Food Rationing List: Here are the processed foods to be rationed and the exceptions, as listed by the Office of Price Administration: Canned and bottled fruits and fruit juices (including spiced fruits) . Apples, including crabapples, applesauce, apricots, baby foods, berries, all varieties; cherries, red sour pitted, other cherries; cranberries and sauce; fruits for salad and fruit cocktail; grape-fruit, grapefruit juice, grape juice, peaches, pears, pineapple, pineapple juice, all other canned and bottled fruits, fruit juices, and combinations. Fruit juices in containers hold-ing more than a gallon are ex-empted. Canned and bottled vegetables and vegetable juices: For fresh fruits and vegetables, j and those preserved at home, will not be affected by the rationing or-der. Those who have hoarded canned goods will have to declare the amount of goods they have on hand. But housewives on farms, and in the rural sections of the nation who have always been more "canning conscious" than those living in the cities will reap the benefit of all their extra housework during the past summer and early fall months. But, all in all, everyone will have enough to eat, even though there will not be the usual as-sortment of formerly available foodstuffs. Food Administrator Claude R. Wickard declared that nearly half of next year's pro-duction of canned and dried fruits and vegetables will be i en different commodities. Using meat again as an example, a pound of one kind of meat might be given a value of eight points. A pound of another kind of meat, more plenti-ful, might be given a value of six points. The more plentiful a food-stuff, the less point value it will be given. The government will deter-mine the point value of each com-modity on the basis of supply and demand. As the supply or demand fluctuates, the point value can be changed accordingly. The new ration books will have stamps that are designat-ed as worth eight, five, two or one points. Virtually any point value can thus be computed by using this combination of stamps. When purchases are made the appropriate stamps are turned in to the dealer. The stamps besides having the point needed for military purposes. He also stated that rationing in the IT. S. does not mean sub-standard diets. It is possible that eventually all food and wearing apparel will be rationed. The rationing system will be carried on through the new so- - vaiue designated on mem win also be marked with a letter to indicate the period of time In which it may be used. This point rationing system would be similar to the system that has ? t f , . , & t 11 --4 ft I4it ll ?! t " Asparagus; baby foods; beans, fresh lima; beans, green and wax; beans, all canned and bot-tled dry varieties including baked beans, soaked dry beans, pork and beans, kidney beans, and len-tils; beets, including pickled; car-rots; corn; peas; sauerkraut; spinach; tomatoes; tomato catsup and chili sauce; tomato juice, all "other tomato products; all other canned and bottled vegetables, vegetable juices, and combina-tions. Vegetable juices in containers holding more than one gallon are exempt. Other processed foods: Canned soups, all types and va-rieties. Dried, dehydrated fruits: prunes, raisins, all others. Frozen fruits: cherries, peaches, strawberries, other berries, all other frozen fruits. Frozen fruits in containers holding more than 10 pounds are exempt. Frozen vegetables: asparagus, beans, lima beans, green beans, and wax beans, broccoli, corn, peas, spinach, all other frozen vegetables. Frozen vegetables in containers holding more than 10 pounds are exempt. The following additional items are exempt: Candied fruits, chili con carne, fruit cakes, fruit puddings, jams, jellies, meat stews containing some vegetables, olives, paste products (such as spaghetti, mac-aroni, noodles) whether or not packed with added vegetable sauces, pickles, potato salad, pre-serves, relishes. ii ii ii in in t i it vm w m iwtafifimtmr aw mil aim Secretary of agriculture, Claude Wickard (1.), and chief of the office of war information, Elmer Davis (r.), as they broadcast to the nation announcing the pending food rationing. been in use in England for some time.

According to OPA officials British housewives learned to welcome To put the rationing system into effect more than 1,500,000 volunteers called universal ration book, or war ration book No. 2. This book is de-signed to handle two or three ra-tion programs simultaneously. Its coupons are numbered to permit the rationing of consumer items by the expenditure of an allotted number of points by each individual, rather than the coupon system as used for coffee and sugar. OPA officials explained that while the n system works well for sugar, it cannot be used for ra-tioning foodstuffs that are diversi-fied, such as meat. Using meat as an example, rationing officials showed how impossible it would be to divide the total supply on a per person basis because there are too many kinds of meat, too many cuts of each type, besides too many grades of each type and cut. Point rationing, they say, pro-vides an equitable share for each and every one, besides per-mitting freedom of choice for the consumer.

Scouting optimists the news around the New Year, one finds Dr. Thomas Midgley Jr. becoming president of the Ameri-..- ., can Chemi-Hold- s Science cai society. Clear the Way for after years Peace, Abundance of hopeful propheyand Among his prophecies have been his forecast of about three quadrillion dollars' worth of gold to be taken from sea water, y travel, age control and the end of indigestion by the use of hormones. His achieve-ments, which are many, include his discovery of tetraethyl lead as a gasoline k compound, his development of c and refrigerants and his many contributions to basic re-search in synthetic rubber proc-esses. As to the mundane outlook in general, Dr. Midgley takes the cheerful view that the potential creativeness and productiveness of science, with its command of new energies and processes, will clear the way for peace and abundance in spite of our col-lective stupidities and villainies. These alluring, if remote, hori-zons, Dr. Midgley sees from his wheel chair in Worthington, Ohio, having been stricken with infantile paralysis in 1940. Thus afflicted, he has continued his research, with no slackening of either work or fervor, and a pos-sibly heightened belief in some kind of happy ending, or rather fulfillment for the comedie His story would be a case in point for Thomas Mann, who says the calmest faith and truest personal integrity is at-tained through suffering. In Cornell university, where he was graduated in 1911, it was said that young Midgley would coast along through routine work, but was always busy on something out of the groove some idea of his own. This inclined him quickly to research and before he had been out of college a year he was threading the sub-atomic maze of synthetic rubber. It was in the years from 1922 to 1926 that he brought through his knock-les- s gasoline, which bloomed into the impressive ethyl gasoline indus-try, with headquarters at Detroit, of which industry he is vice president. In his wheel chair, he is a big busi-ness executive, with special tele-phone rigs to make his inter-offic- e communication around the country easy and casual like everything else about him. Speaking of attainment, through frustration, he worked with telluri-um when he was bringing through his non-tox- refrigerants and that permeated his genial person with a powerful odor of garlic. He took scientific measures something like protective coloring. When he trav-eled, he found in the smoking car the closest possible concentration of bad cigars. The fragrance of garlic was just a harmless added starter here, and nobody noticed him. He is resourceful, diligent, optimistic. PERSONS who have been a bit the government tell-ing us where to work and what to do may be assured by the public record He'll and attitudes Square Oar of Grenville War Manpower Clark, the With Blackstone "ew lawyer Y!;k drafts the quite unprecedented and drastic manpower bill for Paul Mc- - Nutt. A stanch advocate of com-pulsory military service, and of any and all methods necessary for na-tional survival, Mr. Clark has been at the same time an alert and out-spoken defender of civil liberties. He is a pioneer of the Plattsburg system and chairman of the Na-tional Emergency Committee of the Military Training Camps, and an active advocate of a big and strong army, but he is a wary opponent of anything suggesting a military caste. In May, 1931, he said: "My experience in the war de-partment has led me to distrust the participation of army or navy ex-perts in affairs of national policy." Similarly, he has opposed any encroachment on Constitutional safeguards by bureaucrats, or excessive centralization of gov-ernment which might endanger individual liberties. He may be cited as a conspicuous holdout against both the weakness of a peace-lovin- g democracy and the aggression of militarists and who might save the country but leave it no long-er a democracy. He thinks we can keep both the Bill of Rights and a strong wallop. That seems to be the nub of the ar-gument, as military urgency closes in on manpower our most free and footloose zone of casual and migra-tory tradition. Maybe we never wanted to move to Perth Amboy, but it's tough if anybody says we can't. Mr. Clark knows all about that. He drafted the original se-lective service act, and kept it le-gally in bounds. Mr. Clark was born in New York in 1882, was graduated from Harvard in 1903 and practiced law in New York. In 1909 he became a member of the late Elihu Root's law firm. Mr. Clark's insistence on the letter of the law in safeguarding individual rights for all and sundry led to his appointment as chairman of the American Bar association commit-tee on the" Bill of Rights, in 1938. It was soon thereafter that he issued a report for this committee, oppos-ing the deportation of Harry Bridges without a trial. This from a corpo-ration lawyer who came into public affairs from away over to the right. In World War I he was a lieutenant-colone- l.

In "A Night to Remember" the cops come into their own. Director Richard Wallace didn't have them wear derby hats or big shoes, or be so dumb that the picture's stars out-smarted them; in fact, Wallace claims that he and the writer had to work hard to keep the officers from solving the crime before Brian Aherne and Loretta Young did.

If you are very hungry and have a good meal, why should you feel sleepy, provided, of course, you have not yet done anything special-ly strenuous? Here's why: The activities of the human body are energized by the blood. If you are hungry and have a good meal, the chief occupation of your phys-ical system is then devoted to di-gestion. Blood is drawn oS auto-matically from everywhere else to carry out that process of digestion. Blood is drawn from your brain, and so your brain slows down and you feel sleepy. Inescapable Facts Prove Farmers' Job for 1943 Almost Superhuman Every American farmer is facing one of the most grueling years he has ever had in prospect. He will be expected to produce more in the face of less farm labor than last year and serious shortages in mechanical equipment. 1942's rec-ord achievements were, in a sense, merely a "warm-up- " for the job to be done in 1943. These facts are inescapable, and the earlier they are accepted, ande the sooner every possible step is taken to overcome the handicaps which will be encountered, the bet-ter the assurance that the 1943 farm program will be successful, accord-ing to L. G. Elliott, president, Extension university, Chicago. No one can deny the seriousness of the worldwide food situation. Mil-lions upon millions of once produc-tive farm lands have been laid waste by the ravages of war in Eu-rope. Wartime drains on manpower, which have created serious farm la-bor shortages already in this coun-try, have had a paralyzing effect on farm production in Russia and Germany particularly. Countries un- - Increases of more than 10 per cent above last year's record peaks are planned for many of the major farm products, including pork, lard, beef, eggs and poultry. They are the products that will be most ur-gently needed. Farmers who have specialized in these lines have al-ready boosted their output and for the third consecutive year have sur-passed even their previously high totals. They will do even more this year in order to meet the larger demand from consumers with high- er incomes, from the government to supply the armed forces, and from nations abroad that are fighting with us. der the conqueror's grinding heel have been stripped of cattle, swine, surplus food supplies, and even seed grains. Total world production of food is down sharply, while world food demands are up. We can no longer think only in terms of this nation's requirements. America has never been able to stand idly by and watch other na-tions starve, and, regardless of what effort is required, what sacrifices are entailed, we are not going to turn a deaf ear to the world's frantic pleas for food. In food, as well as in arms and munitions, we cannot and will not produce "too little, and too late." Long before planting time much can be done to insure higher pro-duction in 1943. Right now is the time for every farmer who has not already started to do so, to examine every piece of mechanical equip- ment he owns for wear and correct-ive defects which, if not remedied now can cause breakdowns at a time when they would seriously interfere with production. Now is the time to do all possible repairing and con-struction of buildings, and all oth- er work which can be done in ad-vance. During the planting, grow-ing, and harvesting season every hour which is devoted to anv other task will rob the world of food. Even though the 1943 volume of production will cost more than in previous years, the total net income of the farmers will be larger be- cause the prices of what they sell are considerably higher than they have been for many years. They are likely to rise substantially far ther during the coming months Be- cause of the enormously increased demands they are expected to av- erage not less than 10 per cent above present levels. Larger production and higher prices will add another 52,000,000 000 to the income received by farmers. A Superhuman Task. There can be no doubt that the American farmer fully recognizes the almost superhuman task which confronts him. He has already proved that with the manner in which he produced in 1942 And there can be even less doubt that the American farmers, individually and collectively, will make the sary effort to give our fighting orces, or civilian population and he peoples of the United Nations that w.I bring Victory at the earli est possible day.

Job in '33 Food Administrator Claude Raymond Wickard was born on a farm in Carroll county, Indi-ana, February 28, 1893.

Bone, on Algerian Coast, Ranks Third Among Ports Bone, or Bona, objective of the easternmost landing by American forces on the Algerian coast, ranks third among the ports of Algeria. Like the two larger ports, Algiers and Oran, Bone is the seat of a French naval station. A modern and typically French commercial port city of 85,000 peo-ple, Bone lies on a small bay only 60 miles west of the Tunisian bor-der and 220 miles by rail west of the city of Tunis. It is 270 miles east of Algiers, and almost due south across the Mediterranean from Monaco at the French-Italia- n border. The development of Bone on its present lines dates from 1833 when its region passed from Arab to French control. The iron ores from the hills of the Constantine district in which it lies were the incentive for dredging its shallow harbor and building port facilities continuously from 1857 to 18G8. The early history of the port site is stormy. As Hippo Regius it flour-ished with Carthage as one of the richest cities of Rome's African em-pire during the first three centuries of the Christian era. From 395 to 430, St. Augustine, native of the neighboring African coast, served as Bishop of Hippo. He made the tiny seaport famous through his writ-ings in philosophy and his interpre-tations of Christianity. A statue on a hill near Bone bears witness to St. Augustine's leadership in estab-lishing the Christian church during the fourth and fifth centuries.
