Spend All of March
Points, Grocers Here Urge

Ely housewives are urged by local
grocers to be sure and spend" all the
March food points allowed their fam
lilies.
The reason that food points should
be spent during March IS that at the
end of the month all grocers will be
required to make an inventory of ra-
toned foods in hand. The sales for
the month will determine to a great
degree the amount Of stock grocers
will be permitted to carry on their
shelves, which in turn represents the
supply Of such foods available locally.
At the end of the month grocers will
be required to register with the OPA
the point value of their inventory Of
rationed commodities and of their
March sales.
Anyway, the 48 points per family
member for March must be used dur
ing this month and cannot be saved"
for use during a following period.

The plot centers around a group of
girls of various nationalities who are
attending boarding school in Switz-
erland in the fall of 1885, Under the
protection of a wise and pleasant
schoolmistress, they are living an
idyllic life apart from the hatreds of
the world. At night it is their custom
to read aloud letters from home.
When the war breaks out, the teach
er hopes to keep the school isolated
from the terrible things happening
outside. But the letters carry the bit
terness in. The braggart letters the
German, girl receives turn the school
against her. Some of the news, espec-
tally that from Poland, is devastating.
Although the German girl is not re-
sponsible for it, she is charged with
the blame. Ultimately she is absolved
by a last tragic letter from home.

Victory Garden Corps
to be Organized Here
Recreation Dept. to Seek
Plots From City for
Haze Not Families.

An about drive to enlist
every Ely family in a victory
garden corps is planned by
the recreation department.
This announcement is made
by Stanley Modin, director of
the department, on the eve of
canned food rationing as a
coming method of filling the
family's demand for vege-
tables.
Preliminary plans for the drive
were discussed by the recreation
board at a meeting held Monday
night.
City officials will be asked to per-
NIT use of city owned property for
victory gardens.
Victory gardens will be more i'm
portant than ever in keeping the fam
lily larder supplied with foods that
will be available only in limited guam
titles in cans. Home canning of veg
etables will probably reach new heights
for the family's supply of food for next
winter.
This type of project has been sue
cessfully promoted in many cities and
towns during the past two years, and
has generally been sponsored by a
recreation department, school, or local
organization. Both children and adults
have been enlisted in the projects, and
plots for gardening have been made
available to families who do not have
them.

board.
