VICTORY FOOD
SPECIALS TOLD
Guide to Patriotic Food Buy
ing, Not Bargain Prices,
Are Abundant Foods
WISE BUYING VITAL

The Victory Food Special en-
blem now displayed in food stores
is primarily a guide to patriotic
food buying, says Miss Pearl Mac
Donald, nutritionist for the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. Many housewives seem to
associate specials" with bargain
prices. Although Victory Food
Specials are abundant foods, and
therefore often lower in price than
many other foods, they are seldom
as low in price as would be the
case in normal peacetime econ
omy. Miss Macdonald points out,
however, that regardless of price,
the Specials are commodities that
must be used heavily at particu-
lar time if we are to manage our
food supply here in way that will
enable us to continue to eat well
and, at the same time, have the
right foods available for war pur-
poses.
Wise Food Buying
Since food from American farms
is already at work as an offensive
weapon and will become a telling
factor as time goes on, the Victory
Food Special program is one that
makes every housewife a quarter
master in the food management
army. Wise food buying is her
war job. She is not asked to spend
more money for food, but to change
emphasis on what her food dollar
buys to meet wartime conditions.
One of, the seasons most versatile
foods, the tomato, is being featured
as one of these food specials. Aside
from being pleasing in appearance
and refreshing to taste, the tomato
has another advantage-that of
being an easy vegetable to can.
Delaware homemakers are urged
to can at least 20 to 25 quarts of
tomatoes for each member of the
family. Tomatoes are one of our
most nutritious foods for they are a
valuable source of vitamin G. This
vegetable also gets honorable men
ton for its vitamin A, vitamin 81,
and iron.

1S and 10 Year Odds
At Washington Senator Taft (R-
Ohio predicted that Congress
would be called upon this fall to
make Is and 19-year-old regis
trants subject to the draft. Sena-
tor Quincy (R-SD) said he was
drafting for introduction in the
Senate an amendment which would
make 10 and 19-year-old regis
trants liable for induction into the
armed forces. Declaring that ac-
ton of this nature should have been
taken by Congress long ago, Cur
ney said he would press for early
consideration of the legislation.
1--WE ought to induct them now so
that they can have an opportunity
to get the training they need and
be able to protect themselves when
we have to send them into battle"

ALLOW MILEAGE
FOR ALL AUTOS

consists of gainful employment or
voluntary services rendered in con-
nection with the war effort, the re-
naming $50 miles allotted On the
basic "a" rationing book must be
used for that purpose under the
regulations if the $50 miles in the
"a" book are insufficient for that
purpose, application for supple
mental gasoline rations may be
made. Some persons seem TO feel
that it is unfair and inequitable
that they be required to use $50
miles of their basic "a" ration for
occuppational use, when their
neighbor, who does not require his
automobile for any occupational
use, may still employ his total of
240 miles per month. However, as
is pointed out above, it was neces-
sary to make this allowance of
gasoline in order to maintain all
automobiles in a disable condition.
Use For Defense Work
1t should be noted that there are
very few people today who are not
required to use their automobile
for some occupatoinal use, either in
connection with gainful occupa-
ton or in the performance of some
voluntary service such as aircraft
Ispotting, auxiliary police work, air
raid wardens, control centers, Red
Cross work, and great number of
other essential activities related to
Civilian Defense. The very few
people who do not use their auto
mobiles for any of these purposes
should not be regarded as a privil-
eyed class who have obtained some
thing that the rest of us cannot
get. And, above all, they should
not be, used as an excuse by other
persons for illustrating a conten-
ton that the limitations now i'm
posed by the gasoline rationing
regulations are necessary. Further
more, this small class of persons
should make no use of their basic
gasoline rations beyond that which
lis absolutely necessary to meet
their daily needs and keep their
automobiles in operating condition.
They should not make use of their
basic "a" ration for unnecessary
pleasure trips.
Local Board Blameless
In conclusion, we must remember
that the OPA policies on gasoline
rationing were formulated in Wash
ington, and each state OPA Office
and the various rationing boards
throughout the state can only adj
minister the regulations as they
are drawn. In particular, the loca
boards should not be criticized fol

great many instances eliminate the

mits this isn't a healthy state of

answer for the suggestion that such

appear coincidentally with the ceSsa-
ton of production rather than a
month before, as in the most recent
case of vacuum cleaners.
Factories which are to be switched

Department stores and other re-
tail outlets are not very happy over
the situation. Business is booming,
but store arrangements would like
less scare-buying by consumers
stocking up on items likely to be
scarce. They would prefer insur-
ance of continuing business. They
agree that it is nice while 1t lasts,
but they know all too well that 1t
won't last long.
AS an item Of proof that buying
of many articles has reached the
panic" stage, one department store
official cited his stores experience
with refrigerator sales when they
were permitted on a limited basis
after the freezing" order. Yearly
refrigerator sales at this store aver

The w. p. B. orders to factories
are news, OF course. And since, as
official Government orders, they are
published in the Federal Register,
there would be no point in attempt

The only answer TO panic buying
would be rationing Of every item
affected by the w. p. B. The board
has considered this, however, only
