6 Thursday, September 30, 1943 Point Changes Made by OPA Beginning next Sunday, Octob er 3, the ration cost of creamery butter will increase four points, country butter, four points; some cheese, one point; while the point value of most meat except for some increases in pork items, will remain unchanged. Thus creamery butter will be listed at 16 points per pound and country butter at 10 points. The standard cuts of beef, veal and lamb remain unchanged, while several veal' and lamb variety meats will be reduced one points. However, eight standard pork cuts will be increased one or two points over September values; and some 18 meat items, mainly variety meats, will be point-free. This group includes such items as beef brainB, kidneys, tails and similar veal, pork and lamb variety; and in addition canned pigs feet, brains and ready-to-eat pigs feet bones. Cheeses Increased The one point increase in the cheese group covers cream cheese, neufchatel, creamed cottage creese containing more than five per cent butter fat, cream spreads, swiss, bleu, camembert and munster. The new point value table for processed foods, made public this week by the office of price admin istration, shows point increases in nine items against reduction in Swing Into line with the rest of the crowd.

This is because the items reduc ed in point value sell in greater quantities than the items being raised. The point decreases are being made in canned snap beans, and in two popular varieties of canned corn. Point advances, with two relatively minor exceptions, are in canned fruits. The Navy Needs LUMBER QUICK... Removed from Rationing In addition, dried peas and len tils are being made ration-free upon the recommendation of the war food administration. At the start of the present ration period, September 5, the point value of dried peas and lentils was cut to one point a pound from the Au gust figure of 4 point a pound. It has now been given a point value of 0—which means in effect that dried peas and lentils have been removed from rationing but may be restored to it. Country shippers will continue to send monthly reports on dried peas and lentils to OPA. This information is essential to the over-all opera tion of the processed food ration ing program. The new official table of point values for processed foods is the eighth to be issued under ration ing and becomes effective on Sun day, October 3, 1943. The point advance in six can ned fruit items reflects their shortages of supply and military needs. Civilian supplies are lower than a year ago. In order to spread these available supplies ov-_ er a longer period and to insure fair distribution, sharp advances have been made necessary in ap ricots, cherries, “both red sour and all others,” figs, grapefruit and plums. KEEP IT COMING! Donation Is Highlight An auction, sponsored by the Oregon state grange in coopera tion with the subordinate and po ntone granges of the state, will be held Saturday noon, October 2, at the Portland Victory center. A feature of the auction will be a six-month-old Hereford heifer donated by Mrs. E. H. Condit, formerly of Vernonia, who assist ed the clerk in the local auction Saturday evening. It is hoped that the auction will boost the selling of $25,000,000 worth of bonds to farmers of Oregon during the month of September. « Annual Event Held Legion members and their friends enjoyed a corn feed in the Legion hall, Saturday evening. As this is an annual affair, much work is put forth for a grand evening of fun and food. This year was no exception and will long be remembered by all pres ent. Harry Culbertson was the hard-working chairman. Ceramic Cookware Saucepans — Casseroles Double Boilers HOFFMAN Hardware Co. For Hardware— See Hoffman MZHZHZHZHZNZ’ Unless the prayers of thousands of hunters are answered, the an nual opening of the deer season in Oregon will not take place. The season is scheduled to open Octob er 1, and remain open until No vember 3; but unless there is substantial rain in many of the districts, there will be no opening. Meanwhile hunters are touring the high plains of the state for antelopes as that season opened September 18 and ends October 3. Although about 1000 tags were sold by the state game commission, they report that only 166 an’mals have been killed to date; while last year 603 were killed within three days. The season last year lasted but the three days due to closure because of fire hazards. More fishing licenses were sold this year than ever before but most of the fishing was done close to home with only one or two trips to the favorite streams and lakes. Most of the mountain lakes were closed this year on Septem ber 20 but general fishing sea son closes October 31. See Football Game---- Mrs. A. F. Kostur and two sons, Corporal Leonard and Billy, of Tillamook came over to Vernonia last Friday to see the football game. Leonard is in the military police and is stationed at a Ger man prison camp in Mississippi and Billy will enter the air corps as an aviation cadet this month. County Teachers to Attend Institute The annual Columbia county teachers’ institute will be held Monday, October 4, at the John Gumm school in St. Helens and arrangements are being made here for all teachers of Vernonia to go in a group. Although no program has been issued it is known that Rex Putnam, state superintendent of public instruc tion and Dr. Frank Powers, ex secretary of the teachers associa tion, will be two of the principal speakers at the one-day session.

One Juice Changed The lone change in canned or bottled juices—grape juice—is sig nificant because it reflects the di version of a large part of the na tion’s grape production into the making of jams, jellies and pre serves. These delicacies spur con sumption of bread, cakes, jelly rolls and other baked products and the government recently launched a program to increase the civilian use of cereal products which are in abundant supply and are not rationsd. Point rises in canned or bottled vegetabels are confined to aspara gus and mushrooms. Compared with the canned staples, such as corn, tomatoes, beans and peas, these items are not widely used and are classed by the trade as specialties. They had been moving out more rapidly than their limited supply justified and point values were increased as a result.

Take parsnips and ruta bagas, for instances. If your family hasn’t been too keen about them before, they might like them this way. I know my family does, and they’re inclined to turn up their noses at them served in any other way. Here are some suggestions for those two fall vegetables, and others too: Eligibility Restricted 21 points Old Hickory Rains Needed to Open Hunting Regardless of cut or price, Safeway meat is guaranteed to please you.

Cook cov ered in small amount of salted water, about 30 minutes or until tender. Drain, sprinkle with brown sugar, salt and pepper, and bake iA mod erate oven about 15 minutes, bast ing parsnips once or twice with hot water and meat drippings. Serve as you would sweet potatoes. SPICED RUTABAGAS—(This goes for turnips, too). Wash and slice ruta bagas, and cook covered until tender in just enough hot, salted water to create a steam, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash and season with salt, pepper and a little ground cin namon and clove if you like. CAULIFLOWER SALAD — Wash cauli flower, and separate into tiny flower- lets or chop coarsely. Add raisins, chopped apple, chopped nut meats and marinate in a tart light dressing. Serve on a bed of shredded spinach. This really tastes better than it sounds! STUFF'D SQUASH — Use small indi vidual squashes like Danish. Split squash, remove seeds and parboil in salted water until almost tender. Drain and fill cavities with chopped, cooked meat and tomato mixture. Bake in hot oven (400° F.) for about 30 minutes or until squash is thor oughly tender and meat mixture is lieated through.
