it was confidently expected that
whatever other shortages might de-
velop, we would still have practi-
cally inexhaustible stocks of foods
of every description. This year, it
is true, we've had an abundance of
every sort of food. Except for su-
gar there was no rationing of any
food product until November 20,
although we began to feel a pinch
in the coffee supply before that
date and had begun the voluntary
share-the-meat program. But food
consumption by the armed services
and commitments to our Lend
Lease Allies have cut deeply into
our food stocks, and now we have
new responsibility-to provide
the people of North Africa with
many necessities of which they
have been stripped by the Nazis,
including some food products, such
as sugar, green tea, cheese, pow
dered and evaporated milk. And
as the Allied arms release the i'm
poverished and starving peoples of
Europe, the resources of this coun-
try and the United Nations will be
taxed to the utmost to supply them
with the essentials of life-a job
on which depends the future peace
and stability of the world.
In anticipation of a much wider
extension of rationing next year,
therefore, it has been found desir-
able to change the method of is
suing ration coupons to a more
flexible one, adapted to a wide
range of foods and other products.
War Ration Book 2, to be issued
around the first of the year, will be
used to secure goods under a new
system known as the point sys-
tenn" This is a program for ration
ing a group OF. related or similar
commodities that can be substituted
for one another in actual use. Under
this system a low point value will
be given to a plentiful commodity,
and a high value toone that is

lal may spend" his points to buy
any of the items in the point-ra-
Toned group in any way he likes,

A WEEK OF THE WAR
Production for War


The owl announced that the U.
S. in the year of 1912 will have
produced approximately $4,000
planes, $4,000 tanks and self-pro-
PEELED artillery, 1900 anti-aircraft
guns larger than 20-mm., 100000
tons of merchant shipping, thou
sans of anti-aircraft machine
guns, and thousands of scout cars
and half and full-track carriers.
Munitions and war construction
were "above the most optimistic
estimate of our production possi-
bilities year ago." and food pro-
duction-a large proportion of
which was meat, milk, eggs, and
soy beans-was IL per cent above
the previous year.
Expenditures for the year for
munitions and war construction
will total $47,O0O,0OO,0O0. In the
first 10 months of 1912, more than
$4,000, 100000 were collected in
taxes and more than $33 1000, 900 900
through the sale of bonds and
other Government obligations. APP
proximately 17,5OO,OOO people are
now employed in war work-com-
pared to 100000 a year ago-but
in 1943 an additional 100000 will
be needed for war work and for the
armed forces. By March Is, 1912,
the cost of living had risen Is per
cent over the end of 1889, but price
regulation, instituted in April, held
down the increases in those prices
subject to control to 6I10 of one
per cent as of October Is.
In the first year of war, the De-
partment of Justice has secured

October production of alloy steel
was so per cent higher than the
average monthly production in 194f
and 400 per cent over the pre-war
production peak, the WPB Steel |
Division announced. October steel |
plate production totaled 100000 |
tons, an increase of almost 100 per
cent over October 1941. The Mari |
time Commission said U. S. ship
yards during November delivered |
into service 81 vessels totaling
S91, 200 deadweight tons, raising the /
total production so far this year
to 625 vessels of 6,S90,000 dead |
weight tons. This total is LOO 900 |
tons short of the 1912 goal fixed by
the President, but the Commission
said schedules for December indi-
cate the goal will be reached. Ma
chine tool production in the U. S.
during October for the United Ma
tions reached an all-time high of
10000 units, with the American
armed forces receiving approxi-
mately 22,5O0 of these, the War
Department reported.

A new system of rationing known
as the point system" will be used
with War Ration Book No. 2 to
ration certain commodities not yet
announced. The system will not re-
place straight coupon rationing of
sugar, gasoline and coffee, as it will
be used only for groups of related
or similar commodities which can
be INTERCHANGEABLE used. Each COM
modify in each group Will be given
point-value-a low point-value if
the commodity is plentiful, a high
point-value if it is scarce-and the
Government, to protect the supply
of scarce commodities, can lower
or raise the point-value of any COM
modify at any time.

Keep Food Values In Vegetables

TIME vitality in vegetables-their
i health-giving cargo Of vitamins
and minerals-is retained or lost

lowing simple rules for cooking
by boiling will preserve a maximum

l. Cook vegetable In small amount
OF water; a general rule is " inch.
Too much water dissolves out
nutrients. 2. Use utensil with tight.
fitting lid to keep steam inside; 1t
shortens cooking time, prevents
evaporation of water. 3. Start vege.
tables in boiling water; resume boil
ing quickly, then lower flame. The
simmer unit of top gas burner
Is ideal for this. 4. Cook amount
needed for the meal. Do not peel,
dice or shred vegetable too long be.

one of them should certainly be abol-
ished." If all the bureaus which are
duplicating the work of other bu-
reaus were to be iquidated or trans
ferred to war work, large new
source of skilled employees would
be available overnight.
Wars cannot be won as Senator
Tydings, Democrat of Maryland, told
his colleagues, by piling bureau upon
bureau. Nor will the fact that some
agencies have half a dozen different
officials check letter before it goes
out strengthen the defenses of Cen
eral Macarthur in Bataan. If the
government is to be put on a war
footing comparable to the transfor-
nation of industry, some of its peace
time activities must be completely
abolished, some must be temporarily
suspended and others curtailed. Ex-
pert advice will be needed, of course,
to determine where the knife can
be applied with minimum of per-
sonal hardship and of detriment to
public service. There are a good
many agencies that could be sus-
pended or shrunk to smaller proper
tons for the duration. Some trim
ming may already have been done
on a small scale. But it is insight
ficant compared with what might be
done. The present issue is not wheth-
er any agency has rendered useful
service in the past, or whether it will
be needed in the future but whether
it can be advantageously absorbed
into war work. The possibilities of
Strengthening our system for war
by this method are enormous.
Public Employees in U. S.
The Census Bureau reported more
than 6,861 900 employees including
armed forces were required to oper-
ate the Federal, state and local gov
ernments of the United States at the
close of 1941. The total is approx
imately nine per cent of the 52,841,-
900 persons reported as Gin the labor
force" in the decennial census of
1910. Including 100000 men in the
armed forces, public employees are
divided as follows: Federal, $685., 900;

Why Not?
Newspaper reports state that ap-
proval of the Kentucky legislature
will be sought to permit nearly 1000
inmates in the state prison to serve
in the United States Army. The plan
would be to parole them for the
duration providing their sentence was
for 10 years or less, before they have
completed one-half of their term as
is now required by law.
There is much to be said for such
plan. The thousands of male in
mates in our penal institutions could
be put to good use at the various
camps-repairing roads, working in
camp kitchens, and in score of other
ways making themselves useful.
Many of them should make excellent
fighting men, each of whom would
take the place of someone who is
needed elsewhere.
