DRIED BEANS ARE VICTORY
FOOD

Food merchants throughout the
country will feature all types of
dried edible beans as a Victory
Food during the period January
18th through the 23rd, to focus CON
sumner attention on their place in
wartime meal planning.
A record crop of nearly 21a bill
lion pounds of beans makes ample
supplies of all types available in
spite of large demands for mill
tary and lend-lease needs. Since no
more tin is being allocated for COM
mercial canning of baked beans,
even more emphasis is added to the
wisdom of wide consumer use of
dried beans.
Dried beans keep well, are econ
omical, and are highly nutritious
food, particularly in protein and
iron. Beans are good ''meat ex-
tenders.
In announcing the new Victory
Food locally, Niles S. Baldridge, of
the Food Distribution Administra-
ton, sponsor of the program, urged
consumers to prepare large guam
titles, particularly of baked beans,
at one time, to conserve fuel. The
idea is to cook enough at one time
to keep under refrigeration for sew
eral meals, and perhaps enough to
share with uncles, cousins and
friends. tits practical wartime good
neighborliness" declared Mr.. Bal
bridge.

the Flag. Mr.. William Graham, act
ing as master of ceremonies, intro

director. Marion White announced
the very sudden death of Joseph
May, the Commander of the Ameri-

whose direction our local observers
post was brought into being.
The program was then turned
over to Corporal Hamilton of the
U. S. Army, who brought with him a
moving picture showing the func-
lions and operation of the Aircraft
Warning Service and the complete
course of report of ground OBJ
server as it is passed through the
information centers, filter boards,
and in the instance of unidentified
or enemy planes being spotted,
fighter planes were put in pursuit
and fought off the enemy planes be-
fore their mission of death and de-
struction had been accomplished.
After the movie, Sgt. Sturgis, u.

These soldiers came to Rising

showing us the great Importance of
this phase of our defense set-up,
and we observers certainly trust

cient volunteers to operate this post
on an uninterrupted schedule. WE
