Just What Did the
Lady Mean?

When asked how she liked liv-
ing in California, a woman OBJ
served that the necessities were
expensive, but the luXuries were
dirt cheap.
What she meant was that
gardens, flowers, fruit, sunshine,
variety of scene, and pleasant liv--
ing conditions could be obtained
with little or no effort, but that
you had to pay hard cash for
meat, groceries, clothing and
gasoline.
Her comment showed unusual
acumen, because few of us prop
erly evaluate our environment.
Assuming a salary that meets
our standard of living, we would
prefer to work for that salary
in certain favored cities than
for twice the salary in other
cities. The reason is that the
environment-parks, schools, So
cial and cultural life, accessible
ity to recreational facilities and
friends-makes life worth living.
If present, such luxuries don't
have to be put in the budget. If
lacking, they can't be purchased
except at great expense and IN
convenience.

It's Perfectly
Simple, Men

| concede that the preparation
of dinner for a dozen people is a
big job and to do it we'll requires
skill and experience.
But to prepare and serve an
acceptable dinner for two or
three people is easy. Any man
can perform the task in few
minutes.
The presumption is that the
household stocks an adequate
supply of standard raw mate
rials-canned goods, eggs, but
ter, cream, bread, lettuce, cheese,
jam and fruit.
One evening, to save the both
er of stepping out to a restau-
rant for an inferior meal, | took
matters into my own hands.
The main dish was scrambled
eggs on toast, served with chick
en- livers that came in a can. The
vegetable was vacuum-packed
golden bantam corn. The salad
was lettuce turned in olive oil
and vinegar. The fruit was a
choice of bananas, grapes, and
pears. The beverage was coffee,
made in percolator.
/ used plenty of the butter in
the pans in which the eggs, liv-
ers and corn were handled. Salt,
pepper, and dry mustard for sea-
soning.
It's perfectly simple, men.

Bicycle Production Cut
To 10000 Per Month
q. the Associated Press.

1s tHt ASSOCiANd FTesS.
The War Production Board re-
duced to 10000 a month today the
number of bicycles which may be
manufactured and centered produc-
ton in two plants to free the re-
mainder of the industry to produce
war weapons.
The 10000 month production
represents only 20 per cent of the
already greatly curtailed produc-
ton permitted in July and August,
when the maximum was $4,000 for
each month. During the preceding
three months the monthly produc-
ton was $1,000, representing A
per cent of the 194l rate of pro-
duction. The new limit is only 62a
per cent of the l941 production rate.
The Army, Navy Maritime Com
mission, War Shipping Administra-
tion and Lease Lend will have first
call on the bicycles produced. If
these requirements do not amount
to 10000 month the remainder
will be available to civilians under
rationing regulations
The Westheld Manufacturing Co.
Westfield, Mass, was authorized to
produce 5000 bicycles month and
the Holman Manufacturing Co.
Dayton. Ohio, 1000 month. The
companies will produce the so
called Victory model. a lightweight
bicycle using minimum of critica
materials.

0PA Points 10 Ban on Gifts
OF Sugar; Loans Are 0. K.

A spokesman for the ONCE OF
Price Administration today re-
minded consumers that it is viola
ton of rationing regulations to
give away sugar, even though the
sugar may have been obtained as
part of the regulation ration quota
of one-half pound per week.
Penalty for the violation can be
set at one year in Jail or fine of
$4,000.
The OPA reminder today came
in answer to a question posed by a
District reader of The Evening Star,
who asked if she would be within
the law to send extra sugar home
to her family in the West where,
she said, it would be used in the
canning of fruits.
She explained that the one-half
pound per week is more than
enough for her personal use.
In answer to inquiries OPA ex-
planned that while consumers may
swap sugar to help get each other
through the low periods without
undue discomfort, OPA regulations
specifically outlaw gifts of sugar.
Spokesman for OPA admitted
that this phase Of the law has not
been discussed extensively and
agreed that there may be some con-
fusion in the public mind about it,
but added that such violations, If
any, have not been called to the
attention of the national office.
There's no use stirring up temp
est" one OPA official said, I'VE are
not encountering any difficulties in
this direction"
The regulation covering sugar
gifts" and sugar "loans" was cited
as follows:
mo person shall make delivery
of sugar to any consumer and no
consumer shall accept delivery Of
sugar from any person except upon
the surrender to such person by the
consumer, pursuant to Rationing
Order No. 3, of a stamp or certificate
having a total weight value equal
to the quantity of sugar delivered; !;
provided, however, that loans of
sugar owned for personal use which
are repaid in kind in equal quantity
may be made between consumers
without the surrender Of stamps or
certificates"
In other words. if your neighbor
borrows cup of sugar, he must
pay it back.

Apple Professors
Allowed 10 Raise
Minimum Prices
OPA Says Increase Will
Cover Higher Cost Of Raw
Fruits and Materials
Ry the Associated Press.


The Office of Price Administra-
ton announced today it would per-
nit apple professors to increase
their minimum prices for canned
apples, applesauce, apple juice, cider
and dried apples.
The adjustments, OPA said, will
cover increased raw fruits and other
costs and will follow previous modi-
flcatlonS of the ceiling prices for
other canned and dried fruits.
OPA will permit Gamers to ad-
vance their l94l prices on canned
apples and applesauce a total of
1874 per cent, Ten per cent of this
increase is to cover cost increases
other than raw fruit and 814 per
cent is for added raw material cost.
OPA said the increase had been
calculated so that Gamers would
be able to pay $3.50 more per ton
on the average for canning apples
than was paid during the 1941
season. OPA said growers costs of
producing and harvesting apples
had advanced substantially.
For apple juice and sweet cider,
an increase of per cent over the
194l price was allowed in order to
cover costs other than fruit, when
containers of one gallon or more
are packed, and 10 per cent when
containers smaller than one gallon
or more are packed. Also, an ad-
dltlon OF 6 per cent per gallon is
allowed for these products to off,
set higher raw material prices.
Gamers may add an additional 2
per cent of their 1941 price when
they use glass instead of tin for
packing, as we'll as the difference
in cost between the glass and tin
containers. The 2 per cent is
allowed for added cost of labor in
glass packing.
