NETHERLANDS FARMERS FIGHT INVADERS are The people we free from the Axis yoke must be fed and helped to feed them selves so that they may become active Allies, fighting side by side with us. Rationing is necessary — to see to it that everyone gets an opportunity to obtain his fair share of some of our most popular foods, among them foods that are vital for proper health. Without rationing, it would always be a case of who gets to the store first I No. 8: The Answer ... No. I: The Answer... We are producing more food than ever before in history. Despite shortcomings in manpower and machinery and weather handicaps— the American farmer is doing a miracu lous job these days. He broke the U.S. record in 1940 . . . beat that in ’41 and beat that too in ’42. For 1943 he’s topping all records again! Navy . . . 10% to our fighting Allies (Lend-Lease, etc.) . . . 2% to our terri tories (Puerto Rico, the Hawaiian Islands, Alaska) and to friendly coun tries to maintain our normal trade re lations. No. 4: The Answer ... I • To be certain that the right food will al ways be available at the right time, our armed forces require at least a 90-day supply for men quartered in this country ... a 9-month supply for each man overseas. No. 2: The Answer... Despite record food production, we can't have all we want of what we want for the simple reason that THE DEMAND FOR OUR FOOD FAR EX CEEDS THE SUPPLY. That greatly increased demand has been created by (1) the needs of food for direct war pur poses, (2) the tremendous boost in civil ian purchasing power. No. 5: The Answer... Geographical position of the U.S. assures speedy transportation to battle fronts. Our space and soil enable us to provide what other nations can’t. It would be shortsighted and poor strategy not to send food to our Allies (the English and Russians). It is food they sorely need to give them an extra “fighting edge”. . . to help them knock more of the enemy out of the war. No. 3: The Answer... We American civilians are getting the bulk of our total food production— actnallv 75% of it for the next twelve i ' This is as much food as we h. r years. The remainder is diviacu uu. ...j . 13% to the Army and No. 6: The Answer... When our armies win a victory, there’ll be less of some foods at home—not more'.

The ONLY way food prices can be kept down is this way — by your complete and conscientious cooperation. Your Government has established top legal prices on food. The rest is up to you and every other American I Look for offi cial prices posted in your store or Ration Board or published in this newspaper.

City families are urged to plan a bigger Victory Garden, to help out on a farm or in a food processing plant if possible. CONSERVE FOOD. Can and preserve food. Cut waste. Stretch your food sup ply by substituting plentiful for scarce foods. Balance your meals for good nutrition. SHARE FOOD. Put the war’s food de mands fiAt. Share the supplies willingly with your armed forces, your Allies, your neighbors. PLAY SQUARE WITH FOOD. Accept no rationed foods without giving up ration stamps. Pay no more than top legal prices under any circumstances. No. 9: The Answer ... WE, THE AMERICAN CIVILIANS annually waste almost enough food to feed our armed forces at home and abroad! The armed forces are working to reduce food waste to an unprecedented low, through better meal planning and education. So can we at home. No. 10: The Answer... Your Government promises that un der no circumstances will the food supply be divided in such a way that American civilians will be deprived of Basic Food Requirements.z YOU have a positive part in the wartime food program.
