Read Food Labels
TO Stretch Ration Points
BY SUNNY FRESHMAN

II you have already used some OF
your ration coupons for canned
goods, you probably found yourself
reading the labels pretty carefully
to discover which cans would give
you the most weight for your
points. Labels often tell you some-
thing about minerals and vitamins,
too. Some labels even tell you
what part Of the daily share OF
vitamins the food offers. Watch the
labels carefully and be sure to get
the best nutrition as well as the
largest quantity for the points you
spend.
VITAMIN @
Last week we talked about the
Vitamin B family. Now we come
to Vitamin c. Vitamin c Is impor-
tant because 1t helps build teeth
and bones; helps keep gums heal
thy; strengthens the walls Of blood
vessels; and prevents and cures the
disease called scurvy.
Rich sources Of vitamin c are:
Citrus fruits, lemons, grapefruit,
oranges; tomatoes, potatoes, raw
cabbage, lettuce, carrots, prunes,
milk, onion, raw or cooked, and
especially those vegetables eaten
raw.
A daily share of vitamin c can
be obtained from one-half grape
fruit or one cup orange juice or
one whole green pepper or two me-
dunn tomatoes (eight oz.)
COOKING HINTS
Like the B vitamins. vitamin c
dissolves in water. Follow the same
rules in carefully handling and pre-
pairing fruits and vegetables as you
do for B-1.
Tomatoes and citrus fruits con-
tain acid which tends to protect
vitamin c during cooking and cam
ming and storage.
Put salt or sugar in the boiling
water before you add the vege-
tables. Salt and sugar both pre-
serve vitamin c while cooking.

The new pork ceiling prices an
nounced for April and the rayon
hose order which goes into effect
April Is are real milestones In
OPA's price fixing program.
Under the pork order definite
retail price ceilings are set for
each Of the eleven zones into
which the country Is divided. In
dependent stores doing less than
$25O,OO0 q year business. in each
zone must not charge more than
a fixed price per pound for each
pork cut. Chain stores and
stores doing over $25O,GGG year
business have Il lower ceiling.
The prices should be published
In each community and It's our re-
sponsibility to see that they are
and that everyone knows about
them.
It's also up to US to let OPA
know that we approve Of this pork
price order and want more like It.
II retail prices on all food were
set on the pattern Of pork, we
wouldn't have much trouble en-
forcing price control in our grocery
stores. Wed have to know the
volume of business, Of course, and
one thing we can urge OPA to do
Is to require each retail food store
to post a sign saying what class
II Is so that we'll know which CELL
ing price 1t should be charging.
ORDER CUTS PRICES
OPA estimates that the order on
rayon hosiery will result In gen.
eral lowering of prices and save
consumers about IS per cent Of the
nations annual women's hosiery
bill. The order covers Continuous
filament, rayon hosiery the leg Of
which Is knitted in plain stitch"
About 80 per cent Of rayon hose is
this kind. It requires that on and
after April Is each pair shall have
a label printed on 1t which will
identify the maker, tell the gov
eminent grade-A or Band give
the retail ceiling price.

Don't use soda. 1t destroys vita
min c.
FROZEN FOODS
Start cooking frozen foods while
they are still frozen. Serve raw
frozen foods Immediately after
thawing.
Properly canned fruits and vege-
tables retain most of their ascorbic
acid.
Foods lose vitamin @ when al
lowed to stand too long after
cooking or when soaked In water
too long.
Baked potatoes have twice as
much vitamin C as the same size
potatoes boiled. II you have TO
boil potatoes, boil them In their
jackets.
Use sliced oranges. cutting across
the skin sections. instead Of orange
juice. II you have to have orange
juice. don't strain 1t. The pulp Is
just as valuable as the juice.

they had long drive. Bill didn't
urge them to play another rubber,
and if Alicia had done so he would
have felt impelled to kick her un-
der the table. He paid up his loss
es with what he hoped was
nonchalant air, and went down to
the Registers car, Alicia holding
to his arm.
''Ill let you know soon, Mr..

Alicia laughed softly and step
ped close.
"You sweet old thing, you," she
said, "I'll call you day after To-
morrow, sure. I'm going to talk
with my second husbands lawyer
up in Richmond. He always liked
me, and is nice and fatherly. He
got me a generous settlement,
and I'll let him help me make my
final decision"
"Okay," said Bill. "But make
it snappy.'

reached up and pulled Bills face
down close to hers. Don't be too
hard on me, Bill. I'm such a

then swept off his feet by Alicia's

Bill jumped in his car. feeling
a bit dizzy in the head, and drove
off. He kept good speed for
number of miles. still hoping
that he might beat Susan Potter

pointed, competently managed
Potter domicile. And because of
his hope along that line, he de-
cided upon a short cut, and took
it.
1t was a dirt road, little used,
so that he would have no trouble
so far as traffic was concerned. 1t
was we'll packed dirt road, too,
and upon it he was able to make
time. And it led by the old john
son farm. Because of this, and
because Of what he saw, Bill lost
any time he may have saved by
taking the shorter route. For he
saw a light Pickering in the vicip-
ity of the old farmhouse, and less
ened his speed. Then he heard
the "putt-putt'' Of what couldn't
be anything but motor boat.
Curiosity got the better of him,
and he stopped, dimming his
lights.
From where he sat in the dark
ened car he could see the shim-
mering surface of the slow-mov-
ing river and presently he al
so saw the boat 1t 'putt-putted"
up to the rotting old boat landing
and stopped. Three men got out
and began to unload some wooden
boxes. What the heck?" Bill said
to himself, recalling, as did every
one else in Linville, stories he
had read of mysterious happen
ings in towns where war manu-
featuring was in progress. Then he
forced smile, and accused him
self of thinking like a character
in an adventure story. Doubtless
all there was to it - this unload
ing business was the simple
fact that a family had rented the
old Johnson farm and was NOV
ing in via the water route instead
of by truck and car. Anyway, mys-
terry or no mysterv, he had to
beat Susan home if possible.
He started the engine, pressed
his toe down upon the gas, and
headed for Linville.
1t was one o'clock in the morn
ing when he stuck his key into
the lock on the front door. He
tiptoed in. There's wasn't sound.
The house was still as a tomb -
so still, in fact, that when he en-
tered the living room and heard
the "click" of the charging Frig-
idaire he actually jumped. He
grinned at his nervousness and
went on up the stairs, treading
carefully in the exact center of
each step so as not to hit a
squeaking board. He opened the
bedroom he shared with Susan,
and breathed sigh of relief.
Susan had not come home.
He got undressed as quickly as
possible and slipped into his half
of the twin beds. He was just doz-
ing off, just getting himself all
mixed up with half formed
dreams that had to do with Cap
tain Kidd, buried treasure, and
factories being blown to bits,
when he heard Susan coming up
the stairs.
'I'm sorry I'm so late" sn<
said, when she came into the bed
room and saw him. "But Mrs.
Plat made us go over and over
some of those scenes"
"Those you play with Adam
North?" said Bill.
"All of those" said Susan, land
some others"
"You and Adam must have them
down perfectly by this time"
"We don't do half bad," said
Susan. did you work very late?"
"Yep," said Bill, IT did"
And it was no lie, he told him
self. If playing bridge with Alicia
Carter and that Register pair was
not hard work, then he didn't
know what hard work was.
Susan went into the bathroom.
"Go on, get some Sleep" she
called out. "I won't have the light
on long"
.'Thanks honey" said Bill. And
suddenly he realized how terribly
much Eusan Potter meant to him.
