''They Give Their Lives

You Lend Your Money: The second
War Loan Drive, which began April
IL, must raise the astounding sum of
thirteen million dollars to supply the
American Armies that are now at
lacking the enemy. An offensive army
requires ammunition and materials
that cost staggering sums of money.
One night raid of 1000 bombers re-
quires $4,000 worth of gasoline. A
million dollars worth of bombs may
be dropped. In the future Americas
Armies will undertake still greater
attacks, and these in turn will require
still more money. The 13 billion
dollars must be raised in addition to
the regular purchases of war bonds
and stamps that our people are max
ing now. Slogan for the second War
Loan Drive is, ''They give their lives
you lend your money"

call, that proved to be from Police

Home Canning
Quota Totals
l82,l24,4OO OTIS,

Maryland's essential wart m e
homecoming goal for 1943 totals
182,124,40O quarts, leading food
distributor estimated today.
This huge job facing the states
466,986 housewives represents an
average of 100 quarts of homer
packed food per person, the amount
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture has recommended for rural
families and which it considers de-
sirable for urban families explained
Harvey A. Baum, vice president of
A & P Tea Company's produce buy
ing affiliate, the Atlantic Commits
sion Company. Any housewife who
meets this goal will insure each
member of her family two cups of
home-canned food daily for about
seven months.
"The need for housewives to meet
the goal was emphasized when Price
Administrator Prentiss M. Brown
reported that only 100000 cases
of commercially canned fruits and
V0SSLdUlcS WOu1u NC oVoAA0DAS W "a
villains each month this year as COM
pared to 30,OOO,OO0 cases a month
last year." Baum said. This means
a reduction of 81 percent, but civil
lians will get along on it so our
armed forces and allies can get the
food they need to whip the Axis.
Baum believes many American
housewives will fill this gap by pur-
chasing fresh fruits and vegetables
for both immediate use and for
home canning inasmuch as these
perishable foods require no ration
points. The War Production Board
has promised adequate supplies OF
covers and rubber rings for home
canning.
Beginning in May our company
will furnish through its stores up
to-the-minute information as to
when the various fruits and vege-
tables are available in sufficient
quantities to warrant canning"
Baum said. st is patriotic duty
this year to can fruits and vege-
tables in peak production periods to
avoid waste"
