STORE TRAFFIC GAN BE REDUCED
Food Shoppers Asked tO Buy On Thursday Or
 Early Friday

In order to meet unusual war time conditions. food retailers ask the cooperation of food shoppers In buying on Thursday or early Friday as much of their supplies as pos. sible for the forthcoming holiday weekend. Many workers in war in- dustEaes win find 1t impossible to shop for their weekend food re. q,iirements before Friday. and many of them must of necessity do their shopping on Friday evening. IT all other shoppers put or their week. end buying untl these same hours
 the enauing heavy store trasilc is bound to cause Inconvenience both to the store personnel and Co custo- mers. Shoppers can do much to re- ouce this congestion by making as many of their weekend purchases as possible before Friday. thus COG operating with others whose work schedules do not permit shopping at other times. Every one who can should shop early this weekend.

ACCURATE GUIDE.
 IN MEAT BUYING.
OpM Announces New Reg. ulatlOns on Prices Eiiec.
 tive July I3

Boston, June s0.--Iiousewives are agxured of a simple and accurate guide for buying beef and veal when the new opA price regulation on these meats becomes effective July i5, the consumer division of Che once Of Price Administration said today, through the once of War Information, l7 Court street.
 Under the new regulation, all beef and veal sold at wholesale must be graded according Co government quality specifications. Ceiling prices aGased by beef and veal wholesaiers must be related Co the grades stamp. ed on each meat carcass.
 Price is rarely an index to meat flavor and tenderness. The new grading requirement. Is a guarantee to the homemaker that she will ob- tain the quality she pays for.
 During recent years, some deal- CTS have voluntarily used govern. ment grades on meat. This grad. Ing has been confined to only a small part of the meats handled in interstate trade. however. Private fsANANao 8tE0 At@FN EAN&NA tHGNNas AaN Ing their own quality specifications and their own grade names.
 When the new regulation gees into efIe.t, shoppers will find all beef yearling. and veal stamped with a grade letter. Government grades now called prime" and s'cholce" w.ll be combined into the new grade "AA". Usually there is only a small quantity of this top grade ayail- able on the market. The present government grade known as good" will be stamped "A. and win cover most of the better grades Of beef and veal bought by housewives. The commercial" grade will Ee stamped "H", and the utility" grade will be stamped ''C". The order reauires no grading of the poorer qualities now known as 'cutter" and ''can. ner."
 Tn addition to the new alphabet isal grades, consumers will continue to find the old government grades and the grade names used by pri. yate packers on some of their meat. Small cuts of meat, such as steaks ard chops. may not show a stamp. shoppers who want to know which grade they are buying should ask to see c larger piece Of the carcass.
 Consumers wto wish to economize can obtain nutritious meats In the cheaper, as well as the higher grades. Quality differences do af- feet meat flavor and cooking meth- ods, however. Cheaper grades are less tender and must be cooked longer. Their flavor Is improved by adding sauces and seasonings, or by stewing them with vegetables from which they acquire other fiavors.
 Tn general. suggests the consumer division, housewives will find that the best grades of beef are heavily "maFbled,s with q great deal of fat inteFEnlngled with the lean. The lean Itself is firm and velyety in appearances, and usually is bright red in color. n the poorer qual- lttes, iess fat ie found mixed with the lean. The fat covering tends to be thinnep and yelloweT. while the red os the lean portions is less bright.

THE TRAIN PROBLEM
GROWS MORE ACUTE

If the present trend continues very
long, Imperial Valley -is going to he 50
thoroughly isolated that We'll he using
smoke signals To ,2t thu rest of the world
know we're still here.
There probably isn't another commune
ty in the United States as large as this
one which has travel connections as bad.
Before the lid was screwed down tight
on automobile tires. both new and re-
capped, we at least had the highways as
a means of getting to Los Angeles and
other points. Even before that. our rail
service wasn't so good in the matter Of
passenger travel
Just before tire ratining went into
effect, however. our only really disable
train service was discontinued. 1t Is
still discontinued. leaving only night
chair accommodations to inland, with
often a long wait there in the middle OF
the night and then change % another
train going through to Los Angeles.
We're not complaining about the incon
venience. We're complaining about ser
vice which ii is practically impossible
to use in the course of business.
We Lelieve this is a problem which de
serves the corrective thought Of the en-
tire community. We believe It has not
had proper attention from the chamber
of commerce. even though 1t Is 100 per
cent the type of problem with which 4
chamber of commerce should deal. This
is demonstrated, we believe, by the fact
that a number of business men, as in
dividuals. have taken independent action
attempting to obtain better service.
Before rationing, everybody went to
the big markets, especially Los Angeles,
by auto. Now we can't do that. Certain
lv this fact creates a situation calling
for united action by the whole cOmmun-
ity-all Of Imperial Valley.
Surely Imperial Valley has enough OF
ingenuity left in its makeup, even if the
Southern Pacific people have not, to
devise some proposal which would not be
an untenable daydream, nor an unpa-
triotic .mand upon vital railroad ma
terials. yet which would give the peopl
of the valley the connection they so badly
need with the outside world.
Once such a service is devised, it is to
be hopad that it will ta of kind so ac-
ceptable to those wanting to use the train
that it will Immediately prove itself sue

1t was fortunate that the United States
made as much progress as it did in IN
creaSing the nations naval forces in the
last twelve months. During 1941 a total
OF 81 WarshipS was added to the fleet
and 80 mora We're launched and neared
commissioning
According to the current issue of Sea
Power. the magazine OF the Navy League,
IT, 81 WarShipS put into -rVice included
two battleShipS. one aircraft carrier,
cruiser. l6 deStroyerS and L submarines.
The vessels launched included three ad-
ditional battleshipS, SIX cruisers, "a de-
stroyerS and II submarines. The tabula-
ton. of course did not include naval auXll
larry vessels.
There is no point now in deploring the
fact that the nation did not appropriate
more money for naval building in 1941.
There has been an attempt to correct that
oversight with tremendous allotments of
funds But even the most ambitious
naval program does not look too big today
in the light OF current events and future
pOtentialitieS.
Secretary of the Navy Knox, in his
testimony before the house foreign at
fairs committee at the hearings on the
bill for lend-lease aid to the Allied Ma
tions. estimated that the Axis will have
800 submarines by January of next year
With that number OF enemy undersea
raiders roaming the seas, possession OF a
huge number Of destroyers by United
States forces is imperative.
Nor is the nations merchant ship con-
struction program too large when viewed
in the light of that submarine fleet. I'm
Gle Sans hope is that it shall not be
chronicled in year or two that it is to be
regretted that American 1912 and 1913
naval programs were too small.
