Boxers and Cooks
School
BY Sgt. RICHARD N. YOUNG

1t is truly said that an Army
marches on its stomach. This is ap-
plicable to those out of khaki as
well as the ones in it. With the
constant food shortages throughout
our nation, there is bound to be
some gripping, especially from those
who don't know or don't think of
the problems and how important
food economy goes toward winning
the war.
Food Is Ammunition
We safeguard our resources to get
minerals and materials that are in
demand for the building of War I'M
plementS and the manufacturing of
ammunition to stop the enemy. Food
is also an important weapon. 1t is
essential to the health of our troops
and to nourish the bodies of the
war workers at home.
Elements of nutrition are a fac
tor never to be forgotten, from the
youngest to the oldest. Food makes
an army, foods make a nation,
therefore foods win wars.
Inc war Department has inSti-
tuted a standard program to safe
guard against wastage, not only in
our own military training camps but,
through cooperation with the soldier
personnel trained in this field, in
all walks of life at home.
When we consider the Importance
of food economy in the army, we re-
alize how much it will provide ci-
william life the necessary elements of
nutrition that they have ben de-
prived of for the past year. The saw
ing of a million dollars worth of
food a month in the army means a
like amount that reverts back to the
folks at home.
Is there one among us in the serv-
ice who would, just because we have
plenty, willfully waste this amount
of food at a time like this when the
