WAR ENTERS KITCHENS
NEW FOOD RATIONING
HOUSEWIVES STUDY POINTS

The housewives of Monroe
County will find that the global
war has invaded the kitchen on
February LIST, when more than
two hundred kinds of foods come
under strict rationing, with their
purchase regulated under the
point" system.
The regulations will be irk-
some and it will require some
effort on the part of the house
wives to understand just how to
use the points" that she is al
lowed. Nevertheless, the nation
is at war and it is just as much
the duty of housewives to cheer
fully accept the regulation as it
is the duty of the soldiers and
sailors to carry out orders at the
risk of their lives. rs znoii
Naturally, there viii arise some
criticism of the regulations re
CARELESS of what they turn out to
be.
The grumblins. however.
will not come frena loyal Amer
lean women. II will come from
those who are ready to criticize
everything that inconveniences
them. including those who ex-
pect the husbands and sons of
other women to do the fight
ing for the nation.
Secretary Wickard points out
that this year nearly one-third OF
our production of canned and
dried fruits and vegetables is be-
ing used by the armed services
and that during the coming year
nearly one-half of cur production
will be needed for military pur-
poses. This is the only explana-
ton that should be necessary to
satisfy loyal Americans.
The Secretary of Agriculture
points out that thirty three
pounds of canned, frozen or dried
fruits. and vegetables are expect
ed to be available for each per-
son : IN IN 1913 as compared with an
average of about forty-six pounds
a year ago from 1887 to 1941.
Moreover, Mr.. Wickard says that
cur total output is so large that
! more than enough food remains
to give civilians a well balanced
and healthful diet. Significantly,

that we viii ever need to ration

JACK FENNER was waiting at

forward to meet them, a slender.
trim-fgured man with look of
sinewy toughness about him that
his looseAfitting balmacaan could
not hide. His hair was gray-black
and smoothly combed. his mouth
was thin and even and his agate

nodded.
"All right" she said. I'VE don't
mind. Shall we 90 in the merrV-

They walked down the long
corridor and turned into the cafe.
Fenner refused to give up his
hat and coat, and when they had
found a table for four, he tossed
them across the odd chair.

waiter.

Let him bring them" Fenner
said. 'They won't go to waste"
They lit cigarettes while they
waited, and when they had been
served, Fenner drank briefly,
said: "Ahl" and crossed his hands
on the table, giving his attention
to Joyce but keeping Della in
relative focus so that when he
wanted to look at her he had to
move only his eyes.

1--WE want you to work for us"
Joyce said bluntly.
A faint smile touched his lips
and something happened to his
eyes. They did not move, nor did

bright and steady in their depths
that had not been there before.
