Augusta Travers you know, the one who runs the little hat shop down on Main Street she's always been dead set against gambling in any form. Never will forget when I was a kid and she found little Ham my, her youngest nephew, playing marbles for keeps out back of "the shop. Took it on herself to give him a whaling and point out the evils of gambling. She's a strict woman, Augusta, real strict. Good as gold, of course. But mighty set against the lighter things of life. Well, so you could have knocked us all over with a feather when Augusta started her gambling campaign for War Bonds and Z Stamps, right "fZ. out in the win- dow of her shop. r First she got hold of the pho tographs of every boy here in town who's joined up, and pasted them on a big board in the window, with little American flags at the corners. Half the town was down there watching her do it. She left the middle empty. Then she brought out a placard she'd had printed up and put it in the mid dle, and this is what it said: "These are the Local Boys who have enlist ed in America's War They are bet ting that you are buying War Bonds and Stamps Hitler and the Japs are betting you aren't Place your bets Inside." My wife couldn't wait to get her self down there and inside Augusta's shop to see what in the wide world had happened to her, turning right around about gambling like that. You know my wife." She kind of likes to talk. She went right up to Augusta and said, "Augusta Travers, seems like something's come over you. Why, I never, thought I'd see you running a gambling campaign in your own shop." Mean to tell me it's a gamble whether this country buys enough bonds to win this war?" Augusta asked. I forgot to say. Wasn't just a hat my wife brought home. Was a hat and a $25 bond. (Story from an actual report in the files of the Treasury Depart ment.) Remember: It takes both taxes and War Bonds (and more War Bonds) to run the War and combat inflation! a. S.

Ue Your Red Stamps - Your red stares ue la the same ration During the first 5 weeks es book as the H'jt tfamps you are already using for processed foods.

As stamps become good they need not be used within a single week, but may be used until the end of the month. Mm Mrs. America Meets the War 'Ten to two' doesn't refer to the hours your doctor keeps but to the time period recommended by the Office of Defense Transportation for Mrs. America's shopping hours. In this way the ODT said house wives will leave room for essential workers who must travel during peak periods. Public transit facili ties of course, are jammed with millions of additional workers. So when Mrs. America marches out for Easter shopping, she is asked to key her shopping hours to the four hour period from 10 in the morn ing to 2 in the afternoon. Food rationing is inspiring more housewives to thoughts of canning fruits and vegetables than in many years, and to those who are plan ning to put up victory garden pro ducts, here's a word of cheer from the War Production board. The WPB has been expecting a record breaking home canning season and so has taken action to see that there are plenty of glass jars, rubber rings and covers for sealing the jars. Zinc lids are banned, however, a recent WPB order released enough metal to permit manufacture of al most all types of closures. And twice as many pressure cookers will be made this year. The WPB pointed out that, however, the in crease will not be enough to take care of the increased demand. But producion is limited because of the direct war need for the critical steel going into manufacture. Women war workers are particu lar in their protection of the skin you love to touch' for reports are that lotions are in great demand for hand care. Of course, glycerine which formerly went into lotions now is being replaced by less criti cal skin softeners. Women working in munitions plants are taking ex tra caution in the care of their skin by using special 'insulation' creams. These products, which are similar to powder bases, prevent the im bedding of grime in the skin. An other cosmetic item which women doing hard physical work count as important are deodorants. These products, by the way are not suf fering from any shortage of ingre dients. Housewives who buy butter or cheese from the milkman may pay necessary ration points in advance. So if you decide on Monday that ycu wish a pound of butter deliv ered the following Thursday just turn over eight points to the milk man for future delivery. Can openers which Mrs America will find on the market may be lim ited in the amount of metal al lowed, but at, least they shouldn't be scarce. The WPB has allowed the production quota for civilian uses to be upped from 35 to 50 per cent of the amount manufactured in the year ending June 30, 1941. But no more than 12 ounces of metal may be used in each can opener. Red A stamps in war ration book two will be valid for purchases un der the meats and fats program un til April 30. During the month of April a new red point stamp be comes valid each week to expire on the same date, April 30. The red B stamp matured April 4, the C's on April 11, and the D red stamps on April 18, and together with the red A's, they all will be good until April 30. That provides each hold er of war ration book two with 16 basic points per week for the pur chase of meats, cheese, canned fish and edible fats and oils. . The sweater girl of 1943 may find plainer sweaters if a recom mendation of the knit goods indus try advisory committee of the War Production board goes through. The committee has reoommiended that all frills and unessential trimming details on sweaters be eliminated to save materials and labor. Furth er, it was suggested that both ma terials and colors of knit goods be standardized to 20 basic styles and six colors. Mrs. America is being urged not to pay over the maximum ceiling price for ham or bacon which she puts on the family table with eggs. New uniform prices have been set for all pork cuts sold at retail, and that means the housewife will find the price the same in every store, depending upon its classification. Every retailer must have posted prominently a chart showing the of ficial OPA prices on pork, and housewives are urged to report to local war price and rationing boards or the OPA any instances of over charging. The new regulation set ting uniform dollars and cents ceil ing prices for pork cuts, went into effect April 1. How to Shop for Meats and Fats with Red Stamps Shopping with your red point stamps will be easy if you remember t few simple rules. You already have War Ration Book Two; you need not register again or declare how much of these foods you have on hand. But when rationing begins remember that: 1. Red Stamps may be used for any of the foods rationed in the Meats and. Fats Program. The same -stamps arc valid for meat, chew, butter, canned fish, margarine, etc 2. The point value of each item is set on a pound basis. But the amount of any food your points can buy will depend on whether the item you choose has a high or low point value. How to Shop Here is the way your Red Stamps become good during the month of April: Week Beginning Hii Stamps Bearing Unit Stamps Expirt March 29 A (16 points) April 30 April 4 B (16 points April 30 April 11 C (16 points) April 30 April 18 D (16 points) April 30 April 2 E (16 points) To bt announced) 1. First study the "point values" of the foods you buy most often. To help you, you'll find a "Point Value Table" hung up in your food store. Or, better yet, you can clip a meats and fats "Point Table" from your newspaper and keep it handy, 2. Take War Ration Book Two with you when you shop for meats, cheese, or any of the other items, just as you do now when you buy canned, frozen or dried fruits, and vegetables. Tear the Red Stamps out in the presence of your storekeeper or his delivery man. 3. If you find you do not have the exact amount of valid Red Stamps to give for a purchase, your storekeeper can give you your change in "1-point" stamps. For example, if you must give him a 5-point stamp to pay for a 4-point purchase, he can give you a 1-point stamp as change. But he cannot use the 2-, J-, or 8-point stamps as change. Make sure, however, that the "1-point" (tamp has a letter on it which is valid at the time you receive it. 4. Your storekeeper cannot always ca. ' meat or cheese to the exact pound weight you wish. That means you must know how many points you should pay for ounces, too. A special table has been provided oa the Official Table of Consumer Point Values for just such cases. This table breaks the point values per pound down into ounces. If 009 of your purchases has an ounce value of less than half a point you do not have to pay an additional point. But if it is one-half point or more, your retailer can collect a full point. J. Budget your points. SpenA Red Stamps carefully. Make thera last for the entire ration period. When you receive "1-point" Red Stamps as change, use then) the next time you shop, if possible, and be sure that they don't expire unused. 6. Remember, you still use. the Blue Stamps for processed foods and stamps from War Ration Book One for sugar and coffee. No change can be made in Blue Stamps. ( pomrxmoMm j ism if f
