Mrs. America Meets the War If you've had trouble finding the kind of shoes you want for your children, here's encouraging news. The WPB, in a move to meet the shortage of infants' and children's footwear has recquired tanners of upper shoe leather to set aside a stated amount of their monthly ci vilian production to be sold only for manufacture of youngsters' shoes. This action means about 20 percent more upper leather for in fants' and children's footwear. And while we're on the subject of shoes, February seventh marked one year of this rationing program. The first anniversary finds pro duction of ration-type shoes for ci vilians fairly stable, although the leather situation still remains tight. That means the ration cannot he increaed, but will go along at the same ratio. Meantime, stamp num and the airplane stamp No. 1 in Heppner Gazette Times, February 1Q, 1944 5 Book Three are each valid indefi nitely for one pair of shoes. When the new ration token plan goes into effect on Feb. 27, food ra tion stamps will be good for a much longer period thn at present . So Mrs. America will be able to bud get her food points, a longer peri od without having to be crowded by expiration' dates. And tokens, which will be given as change for stamps, will be valid indefinitely. Another feature of the ration token plan which will simplify the food rationing program is the fact that all stamps validated after Feb. 27 will be worth the same ten points each. Thus, housewives will have oonly two denominations of ration currency for both meats and fats and for processed foods the one point ration tokens and the ten point stamps. Good news ahead for home can ners who need materials. Metal cans, glass jars and the closures for ber 1j from War Ration Book One them are expected to be available So You Can't Buy Another Bond in needed quantities. As a matter of fact, the new supply of home canning jars is expected to be more than four times the number pro duced in 1941. Further, metal cans for home and community canning are under no limitations, and there are no restrictions on the manu facture of lids and closures for home canning use. So with victory garden and necessary materials for canning, a record home preserva tion program is anticipated. Keep your eye on care of tires on the family car and be sure to recap them in time. The tire situation is so critical that drivers who do not use their cars in connection with their work must depend on recap ping for they will continue to be ineligible for tires of any sort. Only the most essential drivers will qua lify for new tires, and if they can not find them available they may get ration certificates for grade three tires used and war tires. Motorists who use their cars for less essential occuplational driving will be eligible for grade -three tires. Ration . points for waste fats are given housewives on the basis of net wight of the salvage material turned in to the butcher. That means the dealer is to deduct the weight of the can in which the fat has been saved. For your guidance here's the can weight for some ty pical containers No. 1 soup cans, weight 2.2 ounces. No IV2 dog food can 2.7 ounces, No 2 vegetable can, 3.6 ounces, No. 3 full quart vegeta ble can, 5.3 ounces. VISITING FAMILY HERE Mr. and Mrs. Charles L.

Army Signal Corps Pnoto Take a good look at this American soldier as he lies in the mud of Ren dova Island in the Southwest Pacific, victim of a Jap air raid. It is not a pleasant scene, is it? When you are asked to buy an extra War Bond to Back the Attack think of this picture of your fellow American blasted by the concussion of a Jap bomb thousands of miles from home. Then brother, don't you think you will want to dig a little deeper to back up his comrades? From U. S. Treasury Jack & Heintz Workers Buy Four-Motor Bomber With Bonds I J Pictured above is the Liberator four-motor bomber "Spirit of Jahco Associates" purchased with money raised in the form of extra War Bonds bought in addition to regular 15 payroll deduction by the 7500 Associates employed at Jack & Heintz, Inc. of Bedford, Ohio. Picture of the bomber has just been released. Jahco Associates (every worker is called an Associate) set out several months ago to buy a bomber, under a plan of the War Finance Committee of the U. S. Treasury Dept., by purchasing $450,000 worth in 30 days for cash. In 15 days they exceeded the quota, actually purchasing $532,868.75 worth of War Bonds. Jack & i::v'.tz, Inc. is that manufacture .' ; .-.sential aircraft units which ;.L'n in the head lines a good oaal, but this paper ca:i reveal soma iacts that have had little attention. It is pos sibly the only plant in the coun try to operate 12-hour shifts and 7-day weeks, ' thereby conserving skilled labor by avoiding the need, for thousands more men. The hourly pay is the same as Is paid for the same skills in other shops in the Cleveland Detroit area. The greater take home pay is because the men work longer hours at production. The publicized benefits enable the men to continue efficient pro duction the year around. Strikes and absenteeism are unknown and production is so efficient that when parts must be bought out Bide they cost up to ten times as "much as when produced by Jahco Associates. The Associates contribute reg ularly every month to send boxes to men in the Armed Forces, and j their wives have a club which j packs and mails them every, month. Soldiers all over the world, some complete strangers, j have written favorable letters to the company. Wounded soldiers are not for-; gotten either. Recently Associates : donated $25,000 to buy radios for j Crile General Hospital, just com-) pleted by the Government for re-1 turning wounded soldiers. , The products of the company. cannot be talked about freely in war time, but it can be said that no American fighter plane can start its motor without a Jahco starter, and other products are almost as important. The company operates on flat price contracts, undersells other manufacturers, and has volun tarily reduced prices and made refunds to the Government. Recently the Renegotiators have called their profits excessive and have ordered the return of a sum which will result in Jack & Heintz, Inc. sustaining a net loss on its 1942 operations.
