blinded by the bigness and near
ness of such great problems.
It has not been my privilege to
know any period during which
the public asked for and almost
insisted on having heavy taxes
imposed. This, however, has been
true throughout the United
States since May, 1940-that
fateful month when the Nai
invasion of the low countries
followed by the fall of France
and the British escape from
Dunxirk made all of us re-
wise our estimate of "the
phony war;" That was the time
when Americans suddenly real
lied that we MUST PREPARE.
We gave President Roosevelt
and Congress the "Go sign" fol
the greatest defense program
ever undertaken. And that
spirit has changed mighty little
in the nearly two years through
which we have lived since. We
have witnessed one appropriation
after another, breaking all for

Sugar Rationing
Dates Announced
For Consumers
April Dates For CONNER
cial Users - Housewives
Register In May

Sugar rationing dates for which
have been set for April 18th and
10Th for commercial users and May
4th through May 7th for home
consumers, was further clarified to-
day by Louis c. Burr, State Ra-
tioning Administrator. r
Industrial and commercial. con-
sumers who will register on the
two April dates, are defined as all
those who normally purchase their
sugar through wholesalers or di-
rect from the refneries, such as
retailers, bakers, confectioners
soft drink manufacturers, hotels
restaurants, bee-keepers, drug
stores and institutions.
At educational institutions, such
as private and prep schools, col
leges and wherever students are
boarded, each student must possess
rationing card and deposit the
card with the school. During va
cations the cards will be returned
to the students for use at home.
In boarding houses each boarder
will have to register and turn the
card over to the housekeeper who
will use the card as long as the
boarder remains a guest.
1t is important to note here that
the sugar rationing card should be
considered as valuable as money
or securities, for although dupli-
Gates will be obtainable, the lapse
of time between application and
issuance may be lengthy due to the
amount of detail and checking in
volved.

members Of the organization scat

the fears Of some bankers expressed

Question: On oil painting has a
tear about an inch and a half long.
How would you advise me to repair
it. Could I do it myself? I should
like to save the expense Of having
1t done professionally.
Answer-The method is to cement
q piece Of canvas on the back. But
before doing this the fuzzy edges of
the tear must be clipped of or
pushed through to the back with a
needle. or something similar. With
the fuzz disposed Of, the edges are
brought together as neatly as pos
sible, and secured by the patch on
the back. The painting is then
touched up with the necessary colors.
On a painting Of any value the job
should be done by a professional:
for, without experience the result is
likely to be a blotch.
