In uny event, they must take

U. S. Needs Help of Housewife
In Kitchen Defense Campaign
By MRS. OAYNOR MADDOX i
NEA Service Writer
Three very Important things
the American housewife can
do to keep her family well fed
in tho face of rising prices.
First, she must realize that
It is her duty to maintain the
quality of diet needed for good
health despite crisis conditions
In the world. Only healthy men
and women will have the stam
ina to build up our national de
fenses. If the costs of a favor
ite food, beef sleek or lamb,
for example, spirals beyond her
budget roach, she must begin to
study leaflets, books and re
ports Issued by government,
both federal and state, on the
use of other cheaper foods with
equal nutrition.
Newspapers Help
Cook books and newspaper
food columns offer her guld
anco In the skill she must hove
to use new or different recipes
In her family menus. She can
learn to use cheese, eggs, dried
beans and fish more frequently
If the cost of meat goes too
high. These are good proteins
and are abundant and reason
able. Cooked well and combined
Into Interesting menus, they
will supply her family with
excellent nourishment. Interest
and a feeling of being well fed
at a comparatively low cost.
In other words, she must .learn
to reconstruct her family diet
as part of her Job In national
defense.
Why should prices rise? Thnt
Is a question the housewite
should ask every grocer or
butcher every time ho tells her
coffee or sugar or bread or any
thing has Jumped a fow cents.
That's the second duty.
Service

Sparkl
want you to feel that courtesy
and friendliness, as well as speed,
accuracy, dependability and all
around technical excellence, are at
your service whenever you pick
up your telephone.

Avoid Hoarding
The third duty of tho Ameri
can housewife is to avoid panic
the kind of panic which starts
her hoarding food. Hoarding
immediately runs up prices. In
1030, housewives quickly cre
ated an artificial shortage of
sugar through their own un
founded panic, based on Ignor
ance of the sugar market. As a
result the price of sugar Jumped
overnight, but It took months
to get it back to normal.
As a result, American house
wives spent 40 million dollars
more for their sugar in 193S
than they had to, simply be
cause they started to hoard.
What applies to sugar, applies
to most of our necessary foods.
But sugar Is generally the sym
bol ot hoarding because It Is
cheap, easy to carry and easy to
store.

CIVIL ANS TO
FORM OREGON
DEFENSE ARM
SALEM, May 36 VP) Thous
ands of Oregon citizens will be
enrolled In civilian defense ac
tivities as Governor Charles A.
Sprague's civilian defense coun
cil, to bo appointed In a few
days, can enlist them, Budget
Director David Eccles said
Thursday on his return from
Washington, D. C.
"The most important activity
as far as Oregon Is concerned
will be the airplane spotters,"
Ecclas said, "although we also
will enroll volunteers whose Job
will be to extinguish fire
bombs, fight fires, give first aid
to Injured civilians, and to per
form other war Jobs.
Of course, there lsn t much
chance that Oregon, outside of
Portland and lower Columbia
river areas, will be bombed.
That is why the airplane spot
ters will be more needed than
the other volunteers.
All of this might sound a
little premature, but it Is better
to begin immediate training of
a highly-organized civilian de
fense force. Then we would be
ready if we need it. And if
we don't need it, nothing is
lost anyway."
Eccles, who also is executive
secretary to the governor, was
advised by federal officials to
begin organization of the civil
ian volunteers as soon as pos
sible.
"However, government of
ficials said they could see no
reason why Oregon should have
a state guard. We do plan,
however, to rely on a reinforced
state police to deal with emer
gencies.
Eccles was advised by officials
of the office of production man
agement that if Oregon expects
to get defense Industries, Its In
dustries must take the Initiative.
The 18-member industrial de
velopment commission, author
ized by the 1941 legislature
will meet here June 6 to be
gin a campaign to gain defense
industries for the state.
