NY.A. CENTER BUILT
Another story Of discourage
ments, which are still being over
come, centers around the former
stable for the Jackson American
Coal Company. The town Of Iona
coming bought his building ana
renovated it for use as q Commu-
nifty Center, but at the end the ex-
pense seemed too great.
The National Youth Administra-
ton stepped in, took over the build
Ing, and gave employment to many
youths in putting in . new founda-
ton and rebuilding the interior.
Just when the building seemed
ready, the Federal Building author
tiles condemned 1t, and work had
to be begun again.
HOSPITAL NEEDED
The building was finally finished
the third time, and now the local
workers stepped into the picture
again with a proposal that 1t be
made into a hospital and GONZALES
cent home for miners, wounded sol.
diers and civilians generally.
Georges Creek, they pointed out to
Governor O'Conor last fall, Is In
adequately supplied with hospital
facilities. The governor seemed
favorably impressed, but the hos
pital idea has still not been real
lied. The building is used at pres
ent TO house girls, largely from
other states, who are training for
industry. Twenty-Five of them now
go back and forth TO Frostburg,
where they are instructed In the
operation of machines.

Henry c. Stanwood, state director
Of the Selective Service System:

JET co. NOT WORKING FULL
1.-THE National Jet Company Is
small firm here, having some or
ders for war work. It's production
was greatly curtailed in February.
and 1t has not operated at capacity
since. The number of its employees
has declined steadily. In fact, since
February 10, thirteen employees
with some experience of drill max.
ing have been on furlough for the
reason, as stated by the company.
that there was not enough work to
supply them with employment.
Nevertheless. the company was
able in March. through its man.
power replacement schedule, to re-
tain four of its employees until
July. Our information is that all
four had been denied deferment
by the local draft board and that
three of them were denied defer
ment also by the appeals board.
The work which they are doing.
according to our information, could
have been done by other employees
OF the company or by furloughed
employees.
THE company pleads that It's
expenses would have been In
creased thereby. We raise the ques-
ton whether the profits of the
company were an element in the
decision to put these men on a
replacement schedule, and thus to
override the decision Of the appeals
board.

Homemakers who felt like rockies
last year, putting up fruit on war ra-
tions Of sugar, will swing into fruit
canning this second war summer
with the assurance of veterans. And
new hands at home canning will
have an easier time, for they may
copy.
The methods that worked best in
canning fruit last year will suit 1943
sugar rations, say home economists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture.
The starting point for a home
makers planning is to get this
years sugar facts we'll in mind. A
home Gamer may get up to 10
pounds Of sugar for each person in
her family by using stamps Nos. Is
and 16 in War Ration Book / desig-
mated for that purpose. If she needs
more sugar then she may apply to
her local war price and ration
board and get coupons which will
allow her to buy up to IS pounds per
person in addition to the original
allotment. The guiding rule for
using the sugar is the same as last
year: Allow l pound of sugar to
each quarts Of finished fruit. If
desired, 5 pounds of sugar per Der
son may be requested for making
preserves or jellies or fruit buffers,
but this must be included within
the 25 pounds of canning sugar"
allowed to one person.

If you must have your fresh meat
this week end, better turn to pork,
regardless of warm weather. Ru-
NOR has it that recent Government
buying has been concentrated on
beef, veal and lamb-so pork is
about the only fresh meat that is
available to Washington housewives
at the moment. Kidneys, liver and
other meat sundries have put on q
disappearing act in many markets,
too, which makes the menu prob
lem more difficult than ever. How
ever, there will be good supply
of smoked meats, such as strip
bacon, butts, hams and so on, If
you have points enough to buy
them.
The poultry situation shows no
improvements fact, many dealers
predict that there will be fewer
chickens than ever in town over
the week end. Some markets will
have few fryers and roasters for
regular customers, but in general
the picture is rather grim. Once
again, don't overlook the quick
frozen poultry now available in
many stores. 1t solves your problem
In the best possible way.
Fish from nearby waters and
from the South is plentiful, but
due to labor troubles in New Eng
land, supplies from there have been
very limited Founder and perch
are practically unobtainable here,
although there is cod to be had.
Shad, rock and herring are on the
way out for this year. but you can

Despite the gasoline shortage,
and the sternness of rationing,
the ingenious mother and house
wife will still manage some kind
OF Memorial Day picnic for
her family. 1t may have to be
planned for as close to home as
possible-right in your own back
yard if you are lucky enough to
have one-or at least at a place
easily reached by non-curtailed
bus route or streetcar.
AS for the food-here are two
good suggestions that are not
difficult to take along, and that
do not use UP too many precious
ration points:
One mother makes a name for
herself with picnic submarines"
which are frankfurt buns filled
with hot, juicily barbecued meat.
Her work is little, her equipment
simple. The meat she prepared
at home and keeps hot in news
paper wrappings. A 1943 touch
is her use of low-point meats
beef chuck, brisket, neck, heel of
round, shank, or veal breast,
shoulder, rump or flank. Ham O.
pork may be used, too.
For all the good eating, the

and one-half points per person.

not ask several people to bring a
small amount each? Recipes for
