A GENTLE HINT
By Sergeant P. E. Stretch,
Coast Artillery, Fort
Macarthur

Standing last night on the corner.
And not a car in sight
asked myself the question
VIII l ever reach camp tonight?
Machine after machine sailed by me
With lots of room to spare,
But each one overlooked me
And left me standing there.
1t wouldn't have caused any trouble
To have given a soldier a ride
And would have made him feel better
If they'd asked him to get inside.
So long as were doing our bit.
And giving Uncle Sam our best,
The people for whom we're fighting
Should be willing TO do the rest.
So when you're out in your auto
And have lots of room inside
Slow down and give HIM a welcome
And take him along for ride!

Americas new sugar ration Of two

Each Allied nation-in the matter Of

Formerly claSsed as a luxury, sugar

England today has a sugar ration
of two pounds per montb per person.
In France the ration Is & pound and q

high as In America.

In England it Is allowable - use

France many persons carry little sac

poor must take their sugar with them

Before the war started France had
5000 acres devoted to sugar produc
