Victory Gardens
To Group Plants
By Food Values
Oregon's victory garden program,
launched' officially by a statewide
garden conference held at Oregon
State college, is going to be more
than a campaign to increase quan
tities of just any kind of garden
produce. Instead it is to be directed
as well toward the production of
well balanced gardens which will
provide the best nutrition for the
family. This was determined with
the adoption of the report of the
special commitee of the conference
dealing wilh nutrition, storage, and
preseration.
Vegetables are no longer consid
ered vegetables, to be arranged in
alphabetical order or perhaps in
seasonal order in planning a garden.
Instead they are grouped according
to their contributions to the diet,
pointed out Mrs. Inez Langdon,
Scappoose, committee chairman.
Here are the groups of vegetables
from a nutritional standpoint and
the principal members in each
group:
(1) Tomatoes.
(2) Leafy vegetables cabbage,
kale, spinach, mustard greens, tur
nip greens, Swiss chard, Brussels
sprouts, endive, and lettuce.
(3) Green vegetables green beans,
Italian broccoli, green peppers, as
paragus, and peas.
(4) Yellow vegetables carrots,
sweet potatoes, yellow squash, ruta
bagas. (5) Potatoes.
Individual families will want to
choose among the specific kinds in
each group but some from all are
necessary to give the best balance as
far as nutrition is concerned, it was
pointed out.
The victory garden program, aim
ed at increasing the number of farm
and home gardens in Oregon by
.some 16,000 units in 1D42, is to be
handled in such a way as to avoid
waste of materials and effort such
as occurred in the first world war,
the conference decided. Those who
have had experience in gardening,
whether in the country or city, will
be urged to do more of it this year,
but those who know nothing about
handling a garden will not be en
couraged to try it.
Canncrs Attend OSC
Short Course Feb. 3-15
Oregon's twentieth annual school
for canners and frozen food packers
has been announced for February 3
to 15 in the food industries depart
ment of Oregon State college. Last
year this school drew a registration
of 134 persons, almost all of . whom
are men or women connected with
commercial canning plants who at
tend the short course to learn latest
methods in processing fruits, veget
ables and meats.
As usual, the course will be div
ided into various sections. The fruit
and vegetable canning course will
continue throughout the period and
cover the general field of these op
erations. The frozen fruits and veg
etable course will be given the last
four days of the school, February
12 to 15.
A fieldman's course is included, as
usual, for those who represent can
neries and frozen food plants among
the growers. Food examination and
quality control will be emphasized,
and special conferences will be ar
ranged on other subjects. The' dou
ble seaming course, which trains in
the mechanics of the canning indus
try, will be given as usual under
the supervision of the American
Can company.

Tires for Food Hauling
Available to Farmers
Farmers are eligible to apply for
permission to obtain new tires or
tubes for their farm implements and
for trucks used in carrying food pro
ducts to markets, the county U. S.
D. A. Defense board has been ad
vised by the Office of Price Admin
istration. The farmer who wishes to apply
for new tires or tubes should use the
following procedure, according to
Henry Baker, chairman of the de
fense board:
1. Get an application form from
your local rationing board. Take it
to one of the board's inspectors and
obtain a statement that the tire or
tube to be replaced cannot be re
paired, recapped, retreaded, or oth
erwise made usable. (If the tire or
tube can be repaired, the farmer
will be so advised by the inspector
and, of course, he will then be un
able to secure new products.)
2. Present to the rationing board
the statement secured from the in
spector and explain the purpose for
which the tire or tube is to be used.
Farmers are' eligible to apply for
tires or tubes for farm tractors or
other farm implements for which
they are essential, or for trucks
which carry farm products and foods
to market. Tires or tubes may not
be obtained for trucks which, trans
port such products to the ultimate
consumer. Tires or tubes may not
be obtaned for any purpose unless
they are to be mounted immediate-
ly.
If the applicant meets the stand
ards of the local tire rationing board
then a certificate will be issued, al
lowing the applicant to purchase
from any dealer, providing the board
has not already 'reached the month
ly total of certificates which it may
issue.

A WEEK OF THE WAR . . .
("A Week of the War" summarizes
important developments of the week
made , available by official sources
through and including Friday, Jan
uary 23.)
Chairman Nelson of the War Pro
duction Board abolished the OPM
and transferred its functions regard
ing production, purchasing, priori
ties, materials, civilian supply and
subcontracting to a new streamlined
organization under the board. In
addition, Mr. Nelson created under
the new board a progress reporting
and planning unit to suggest im
provements from time to time,
Mr. Nelson stressed, two funda
mental differences between the old
and new organization: an increased
amount of authority and a more
definite delegation of responsibility
to promote speed. He said the main
objective of the new organization
was the full mobilization in the war
effort of every national resource,
large and small.
Mr. Nelson named Ernest Kanzler
to convert auto industry facilities
to war use. Mr. Kanzler will have
complete authority to do whatever
is necessary, Mr. Nelson said. He
said that he expected to appoint as
many other men with similar auth
ority for other industries as are nec
essary. THE WAR FRONT
President Roosevelt told his press
conference an inter-allied supply
council and similar joint commands
are in existence, and excellent pro
gress is being made to strengthen
the position of the United Nations
in the Southwest Pacific.
The Army announced Gen Mac
Arthur's forces have repulsed con
tinuous heavy attacks by reinforced
Japanese units on Bataan Peninsula,
inflicting heavy losses on the ene
my with comparatively low losses
to the defenders. The entire Japan
ese 14th Army, together with other
units, landed on Luzon. U. S. Army
forces sank a Japanese cruiser and
a large tanker 100 miles off Jolo, and
shot down 16 enemy planes in the
Philippines.

SS Brazos was sunk in a collision
120 miles southwest of Cape Hatter
as, and during the past week U-boats
sank the City of Atlanta, the Lat
vian freighter Ciltvaira, the tankers
Coimbra and Allan Jackson, and
torpedoed the tanker Malay. The
Navy did not announce number of
U-boats sunk or captured but said
"some of the recent visitors to our
territorial waters will never enjoy
the return trip portion of their voy
age." The U. S. Navy sank three
enemy merchant ships off Tokyo
Bay and torpedoed a 5,000-ton en
emy vessel in Binanga Bay.

who lose their jobs temporarily be

would receive a weekly benefit pay
ment equal to 50 percent of regular
earnings, but in no case more than
$24 a week in benefits for 26 weeks.
The Federal grant would make up
the difference between unemploy
ment compensation paid by the State
and the 60 percent war dislocation
benefit.
