superintendent of public works
presented the city fathers with a
written report containing figures
showing the cost for the paving and
curbing project. Maintaining that
the city could have saved money
by contracting the job. Councilman
Wesley He'll presented figures he
had obtained from a paving con-
tractor.
ARGUMENT FOLLOWS
An argument followed between
He'll and Heinecke, the latter
finally leaving his seat and ap-
preaching He'll who sat across the
council table. He'll arose but a
word from Mayor r. w Hatton sent
both men back to their places at
the table.
Heinecke's report showed the
city's cost for labor on the job
amounted to $64943. Residents OF
the area spent an additional
$441.18 for material The combined
costs totaled $10906l. according TO
the report.
He'll informed the council he had
only Wednesday discussed the mat
ter with a private contractor who
had stated the job could have been
done for $882.60
Heinecke later said he later
learned of the saving that could
have been effected but explained
that the project was purely an eX-
pertinent to determine what such
work actually would cost the city
He said the condition of the side
walk in the area paved plus the use
Of inexperienced labor skyrocketed
the cost.
Both men later apologized to
Mayor Hatton for their conduct.
Charles Bratton earlier injected
some excitement into the session
by fighting the purchase of a sec
ond-hand packer-type body that
Heinecke recommended the city
purchasing for collecting trash.

Civilians Face 70
Per Cent Cut in
Goods, Services
WPB Committee Warns
Greater Discomfort Due
In Forthcoming Year

WASHINGTON, May 6.
(UP)-The War Production
Boards program committee,
warning that Everyone will
suffer loss or, at best, dis
comfort in 1943," today recommend
ed broad six-point program to
cushion an estimated cut of Is to
20 per cent in goods and services
available to civilians this year.
The decline may be greater, the
committee said, in important items
such as clothing and furniture in
u few household and motor
fuels, transportation and domestic
service supplies may fall below
minimum requirements unless dis
tribution is managed with great ef-
ficiency.
PROPOSES PROGRAM
The committee proposed this
program:
l. Extend consumer ratiOning as
far as staff and experience permit,
2. Eliminate civilian manufactur-
ing and as much as Wholesaling as
possible from labor shortage areas.
3. Increase productivity of retail
trades and service industries with
emphasis upon localities where
labor is short.
4. Cultail less essential goods and
services and simplify and standard
iZe the more essential
5. Protect consumers minimum
requirements in every important
area.

Here's news for P-TA members
of the school library. school
teachers, school superintendents
all the people. who're looking
for up-to-date teaching materials
for home economies classes. sG
In many schools one of the first
lessons in the home economics
room this fall will be son cam
ming tomatoes. And, as every
teacher and student knows, pic
lures are a big help in putting
that lesson across. The new
USDA picture folder on canning
tomatoes tells the story Of toma-
toes from vine to jar in 20 pic
lures. It's free to anybody who
requests it from the United
States Department Of Agricul-
ture.
Then there's a new set Of pic
lures on home canning-the size
to post on the school bulletin
board. They. give in big. clear
pictures the step-by-step story
of how to can a fruit and veg
.etable and how to use the war
time glass jars, pressure Gamers
and other canning equipment.
The price of this set of 20 can
ming charts Is so cents, and or
ders should be sent with cash or
money order to the superintend-
ent OF documents of the Gov
eminent Printing Office.
For classes in food conserva-
ton the Bureau Of Human Nu-

called Get the Good From Your

to store food to keep it from
whiting, molding, wasting in ways
you can see.

Vegetable Chowder Good Dish;

faction and nutrition for every point
involved.
Here's one "extender" idea: Buy
q package of quick-frozen corn,
which is all ready to cook, and turn
1t into a meal-in-one chowder for
six by the addition Of celery, toma-
toes and milk. With crackers or
bread and butter and fruit or a
salad, you will have a nourishing,
satisfying and appetizing meal, easy
to serve and easy to prepare on a
hurried day.
The possibilities of chowder are
varied, for basic characteristic OF
the dish is that 1t is composed Of
many ingredients. The very name
comes from "chaudiere," soup pot
Of the French coast, in which a
steaming, savory combination Of
foods was simmered into thick
and thrifty broth. Quick-frozen
lima beans and q slice of bacon,
with onions and potatoes, make an
other good chowder. You will be
sure OF garden-fresh flavor as well
as q full quota OF vitamins and min

vegetables. And you will find them
