OVER-CONFIDENCE DETRIMENTAL
One of the problems that the American peo
ple are going to have to conquer before the end
o f the war is over-confidence.
As the allies sweep on toward victory on ev
ery fighting front in the world, the American
people are beginning to relax their vigilance
and decrease their war effort.
This fact is evidenced by the failure of the
American people to buy their quota of E war
bonds, those to be purchased by individuals,
and the migration of workers from the defense
areas. Persons who have been serving a good
purpose in defense work are beginning to leave
the industrial areas, partly because they want
to secure peace-time employment in their home
communities and partly because some war pl
ants are being closed.
It is said that nothing succeeds like success,
so, in our successful prelude to the culmination
of the war, we can be confident and still con
tinue the “ old drive” that has helped to make
the allies successful in their military campaigns
against the German and Japanese aggressors

do just a little careful planning to
stretch those ration points wisely.
Time-saving menus are Important,
too— the kind that the war worker-
homemaker-hostess can prepare
easily and quickly.
For a hearty main dlah— that
usual menu problem— serve a meat
