8 Heppner Gazette Times, April 1, 1943 Airs. America Meets the War Call it Salisbury steak .ground round steak or just hamburger, but OPA rationing regulations set up a definition of this popular meat item including specifications for retail dealers to follow. If a housewife wants to use some of her point stamps for round steak, chuck rump or sirloin ground, she will buy these in whole form, paying the correct number of points, and then have them ground to order. But if she buys ready ground hamburger, de fined as "beef ground from necks, flanks, shanks, briskets, plates and miscellaneous beef trimmings and beef fat" he will not be required to pay more than five points a pound. Of course, the point stamps needed to obtain meat, chajses, canned fish and edible fats and oils under the new rationing program which went into effect March 29, are the red stamps in War Ration book two. No increase in points for the pro cessed foods rationing program is intended for the new ration period. During April Mrs. America will have 48 points to sepnd for her purchases of canned, frozen and dried fruits and vegetables and all soups. These points will be ob tained by the blue stamps in War Ration Book two bearing the let: ters D, E, and F. The blue stamps A, B, and C were out March 31. a Perhaps Mrs. America has made up her mind that fine linens are to be chalked up as a wartime cas ualty for whatever fibres are avail able in this country go for essen tial war use first. And besides the United1 States is not equipped to manufacture luxurious linens for there are practically no spindles, looms, the proper type of flax or trained labor for this type of pro- STAR Reporter April 1 to 7 is Red Cross War Fund "Week for the Motion Picture In dustry.

If some of your precious linen possessions bear the names of France, Belgium, Austria, Czecho slovakia stamped in the selvage, realize these are truly relics. Other linen -making countries of Russia, Ireland, Switzerland, certainly can not spare much labor for non-essentials, and neither, and neither is there cargo space for luxuries. So obviously, handkerchief linen, dress linen, drapery and upholstery linen and table damask should be hand led with greatest of care for a de crease in their availability is inevitable. Want something new and differ-, ent for your family's dinner: Shark steak is a suggestion of the office of the coordinator of fisheries, which reports that war has introduced soupffin shark meat into the Ameri can kitchens. It was revealed that tasty shark, in either kippered or lightly smoked form is becoming more available. Kippered shark is said to have a flavor similar to smoked salmon ,and it is also pale pinkish orange in color. Costume jewelry counters will continue to intrigue Mrs. America even if there are necessarily sub stitutes for critical metals. Look for bracelets of straw and plastic ear rings. Pins of wood, shell necklaces and glass beads are other items which brighten costume jewelry ' counters. And still on the department store's main floor, a look at the glove counter shows little change by the war so far in dress gloves. However, goatskin, horsehide and capeskin are less available, and many skilled glovemakers are now engaged in war production. As for handbags, war needs have a prior ity on leather, and the frames must be made of non -critical plastics. Neither are metal nor critical plas tics allowable for zippers. Further on the subject of leather goods, luggage and small leather accessor ies no longer can be made of cattle hide, calf or kid leather. Colorful red and blue stamps con tained in War Ration Book two may be appealing to Junior as a plaything, but it's up to Mrs. Amer ica to keep this precious book out of the hands of her youngsters. Take for example one case reported by the west coast war price and ra tion boad of a tot gathering up family ration books and distribut ing stamps to people passing his home. Perhaps, he got a paddling, but the board declared his mother needed "reprimanding for not taking better care of family ration books. The OPA says it's up to bookhold ers to guard War Ration Books one and two carefully to prevent loss, stealing or mutilation. Anyone needing to replace a ration book must apply to his local war price and rationing board on Form No. R 194. A board may hold up the is suance of a replacement for as long as 60 days if it finds that the book was lost or stolen through negligence on the part of the owner. And many boards also require ap plicants to report the case to the police.
