family expenses. Extension service
home account books which are now
available will record family ex-
penditures for II months, and pro-
vide a monthly summary so the
family can see what expenses are
each month. A one-month practice
sheet can be secured from the coun-
ty extension office, and if the trial
sheet proves satisfactory, a year
book may be purchased for a very
nominal cost.

valuable in filing out income re-
turns. The Internal Revenue Depart
ment accepts any statement made
in the income tax return if the proof
is in the home account book.
Keeping records is often a means
of getting family cooperation in re-
gard to money management and is
valuable training for children in the
use of money.
The record serves as a working
basis in weighing values and for
making plans for future spending.

When all little piggies go to mar
ket after April 1, Mrs. America will
find them under uniform price
ceilings. The new pork price CELL
ings will replace present control at
the highest March levels of the
individual merchant. The new reg
ulation will stimulate the maximum
price in cents per pound which can
be charged Mrs. America. One
price list will be set up to apply to
independent stores with annual to-
tai sales less than S250,000, and an
other will govern chain and indie
pedent stores with more than $780,
600 annual sales. An official list
of the maximum prices must be
displayed prominently by every re-
taller of power when the regula-
ton goes into effect. However, the
butcher can charge less than the
maximum price. Beef, veal, lamb
and mutton also will be placed on
uniform cents per pound price CELL
ings in the future.

The stepped up production of glass
containers for foods has turned con-
siderable attention to closures. Since
metal is out, glass, ceramics, wood
and paper are being substituted for
the critical material wherever pos
sible. So far, however, no satiSfac-
tory substitute has been reported
for metal closure for CANNED fruits,
vegetables, juices and meats. So as
a means of savoing metal, par OPEN
ings are kept as small as possible
and still not interfering with the
removal Of food. And old covers and
caps are being saltaged for reuse.
Silk and nylon stockings are as

serves it. Well, I have been doing
the usual thing here day out and
day in 1t was certainly nice of you
to put my letter in your newspaper.
I really think people back home
enjoy reading what all service men
have to say from all parts of the
country. I sure would like to hear
from all my friends back home. I
haven't seen very many friends that
know here but guess I will sooner
or later. 1 see Aviles most every

SONG OF THE AERIAL GUNNER

7 wished to be pilot, and you
along with me,
But if we all were pilots, where
would the Air Force be?
1t takes 'guts" to be gunner, to
sit out in the tail,
When the Messerschrnitts are COM
ing, and the slugs begin to wall.
The pilots just chauffeur, it's his
job to fly the plane,
But it's I'VE" who do the fighting,
though we may not get the
fame.
If we must all be gunners, then let
us make this bet:
Well be the best damn gunners that
have left this station yet!

Mr.. Craig Pottinger
Nogales, Arizona
Dear Mr.. Pottinger,
Just a few lines to say hello and
to tell you I am fine. I don't have
very much to say as I've been in the
hospital % days. I was operated
on my right foot IA days ago. I
think it's coming along pretty good.
They sent me to the hospital be-
cause weight fell on my foot.
When they operated I didn't feel
a thing. They gave me a spinal,
that is shot in the spinal column
and most of my body went to sleep.
The Navy nurses are very nice to
us patients, and the American Red
Cross is not to be forgotten. They
come and talk to me, bring me
flowers and cookies. And down be-
low in the day room they have
many kinds of games for us to use.
My hats off to the Red Cross nurse
the guy who wrote "The Rose Of
No Mans Land" wasn't kidding.
He knew what he was talking about.
Well, today while reading a paper
7 came across a little item where it
mentions Nogales. To most every
body it was just another name, but
to me it had good feeling, so I
clipped it and am sending it along
with this letter.
T haven't received The Interna-
tional for some time but I guess it's
down on my ship. Please send my
paper to this address. I remain,
Your friend,
