Arch McKinnon, ' In 1942 the American public Consumed an average of 40 pounds per person of eggs while in 1943, at the present rate of consumption, we will probably consume 43 pounds per person. With fell beef rationing, our consumption from 68 Yz pounds per person in 1942 to 58 pounds anticipated this year. But in 1942 the average American consumed 22 pounds of chicken and it appears that we will consume 29 pounds this year. Indications are that each American will consume 12 pounds less sugar, 6 pounds less canned fruit, 7 pounds less of canned vegetables, and 3 pounds less of butter this year than last year.

This war will last until 1949 or longer if the home front fails to back up our men in battle . Frank Knox, Secre-tar- y . . of the Navy. Bonds to Buying War the point of temporary personal sacrifice is the most direct way you can comply with Secretary Knoxs appeal. Temporary sacrifice is the correct phrase .because you are only lending your money when you buy War Bonds. This government which never has defaulted on an obligation will pay you back $4 for every $3 invested if you hold the bonds for 10 years. The least you can do is to back the attack with War Bonds today. Buy extra Bonds above your normal Bond buying. . THE EDITOR - In Advance . Los Angeles Examiner 'O'.. U.
