First Week of
| Rationing Is
Reviewed

Millions Of American women are
settling down to some serious think
ing today on the solution Of the
households current No, l prob
lem. how to get the most out
Ct AZ points month. For a week S
experience with War Ration Book
2 has shown them that many
Of their meal-planning foOd-buying
and food-using habits must be
changed.
Three words give the answer
budget, substitute and save
The simplest form Of point bud
getting is on a weekly baSis-the
way the average size family. near
to food markets, plans its meals
Families which are accustomed 10
buying more than a weeks supply
at a time, should make their point
budget on the longer term basis.
To figure the Ianlily'S weekly
point allowance, multiply the 43
points by the number Of persons
in the family. For a family OF
four. 1872 points,. Divide that figure
by the number of weeks in the
month. In March, AZ weeks
The result is the tamily's weekly
point budget. For the family OF
four, 1927 points for each Of fou1
weeks and 21ls points for the last
half week..
The next move is to list the point
rationed foods and the quantities
wanted for the week with then
point values, and to add up these
points. If the list adds to fewer
points than the familys weekly
budget. everything on the list car
be purchased But if the poin'
total exceeds the budget. then The
second word of the three wore
answer has to be used.
Substitute some canned foods OF
loW-point value for the higherpOint
canned goods on the list. Pineapple
and apriCOtS. for instance. cost more
points than any other canned fruit
Lima beans, peas and tomatoes cost
more than other canned vegetables
Substitute some of the dried veg
etables for the canned or frozen
ones on the too-high list DTleC
peas and beans are valued at
points per pound as against 13 for
canned peas and limas and II for
canned green ard wax. To be sure
these dried vegetables have to be
used differently than the canned
one but they provide even moro
nutritiye value to the diet In addI-
ton. a pound of dried peas for in
stance, will 90 much further when
cooked than a pound Of canned peas
For canned soups. dehydrated
soup mixtures can be substituted
In point value dehydrated soups
are double that Of canned soups
l6 points per pound for dehydrated
and 8 points per pound for canned
But, one pound Of dehydrated SOUP
provides much more than twice as
much soup as a pound can, so its
a more economical point buy.
Simplest Of ell, substitute some
fresh fruits or vegetables for the
processed ones. Fresh ones cost nc
points at all!
Saving every bit Of leftOverS from
the supply Of proccssod foods not
only makes the points 90 further
but helps out in the tremendous
problem with which the country i,
faced-fceding not only American
armed forces and civilians but help,
ing in the feeding of the Other
United Nations.
A half cup Of leftover peas may
rot lock like much to the family
or four: but mixed with a half cur
Of Carro-s and other leftov"r yege-
tehles will make a vegetable Gish

BY En1iLr Past
Bv Emily Post

Those time-caIlOus guests who
stay on and on after the party is
over are familiar to us all, Their
annoying behavior turns up today
in this letter: Please, won't you
write about people who stay on and
on in the front hall telling Just
one more story. just this one last
incident, until their hosts are ready
to drop? If we suggest they come
back into the living room and stay
awhile longer their answer is in
variably, Oh, no. we must gon When
the party is over do not good man
nCrs require you 10 say your adieuX
and Coz
YES, very definitely, because the
hosts are helpless to do or say any
thing They can hardly say Tell
me about that some other time!'
The only advice I know for the
hostess whose knees begin to buckle
is TO lean against the wall and look
as wilted as she feels. The impulse
to sit, if there are chairs or stairs,
is not very good one. since the
talkatiVc guest is likely to sit, too,
and this means putting off going
indefinitely.
Another example of time callous-
ness is that Of one who talks on
and on, on the telephone. But this
has door Of escape in the neceS-
Sity Of having to cut of when some
thing urgently requires ones i'm

That's the opinion OF more than one
coat buyer and its backed by clear
cold logic.

so short hereabOuts that YOU don t

The other day We spent several
hours looking at these garments
and discussing them with a buyer
who's usually very accurate in his
predictions, He believes that the
Chesterfield has everything a

 Jimmy Byrnes as Director of War Mobilization. First of all, the plan of centralizing our war program is a good one, and was long overdue. Secondly, it removes Byrnes from the post of Economic Stabilization Director. In this office, many feel, he was too ready to freeze wages. We don't know how Judge Vinson, his successor in this post, feels about wages, but Vinson takes office without the handicap of having had to retreat from previously an- nOunced decisions.
 THE LABOR ADVISORY Com mittee of the State O.P.A. is meet ing with Chester Bowles, state ad- ministratOr, this week. It has met on the first Friday of each month since its creation at the request of BOwles several months ago.

 Is he of the fact that American blood spilled on many baefeds, and that much is certain to be spilled before the conflict ends?
 Does he realize that those young who have given their lives for their country have done protect privileges of free Americans of which right to join labor unions and bargain collectively improve their working conditions?
 Has he considered the effect of the coal mining the morale of Americans particularly the members armed forces who know that their chances of lessened every time he opens his big mouth? States admission that he had against the United States?
 Is he conscious of the fact that actions affected ad versely every working and in the country?

hara told me about the battle In
the Java Sea.
Inspector Takehara Is a small

grinning while he spoke. He said
that II Allied vessels had been sunk
and that only one Japanese destroy

slble for any battle to be that one
sided.

times I ever heard him laugh.
This is what censorship has done
to Japan. The people no longer
believe the stories they read in the
newspapers, and are told on the
radio. A steward on the Asama
Maru, the ship which took me to
I,ourenco Marques, in Portuguese
East Africa, even said he didn't
believe the japanese had bombed
Pearl Harbor.
Unfortunately, both stories were
true, but the Japanese have had SO
many years OF muzzled and abject
press that they no longer trust any
government announcement.
The only name you can give
Japan's censorship, both for her own
newspapermen and the foreign cor
respondents, is that it is blind
