More PruneS
And RaiSinS
BY ANN STEVICK
NEA Staff CORRESPONDENT

washington, Jan. 8-Poultry is moi
expected to disappear from civilian
markets because of the freeze or
stored chicken and fowl. The order
includes only stored supplies. 1t does
not include turkey. The term fowl
in the poultry trade means heavier
chickens used for roasting or stew
ing.
The freeze will continue TIL
military buyers get 70,000000 pounds
The War Food Administration says
it may take two weeks or two
months. However, in January the
program of culling laying flocks be-
gins. With egg prices going down
this may brin in bigger supplies foI
eating than were counted on by
VIA. Although their worry has beer
that laying flocks would be too large
in 1914 for the amount of feed, they
now fear that farmers may cut their
flocks down so far that Matching will
be too low to keep up egg produc-
ton in 1945. They are making stra-
tegic purchases of dried eggs in or
mers. rgaro-gnie
der to keep eggs moving for the
farmers.
DRY SEASON
The new crop Of prunes and
raisins is appearing in retail mar
kets. The War Food Administration
promises a continuing supply. The
allotment for the home front this
year is 2s0, 100000 pounds OF raisins,
and 230, 00O,0 pounds Of prunes
many millions more than last year
Dried peaches, apricots and apples
won't be on hand because crops
were small, and the entire supply
goes to military and hospital uses.
Dates will be fewer and more
expensive than last year. Before
the war about 100000 pounds
Of dates came from Irak, Iran
Turkey and North Africa. This
year most Of them will be domes-
tic, which will leave only about one
fourth the usual supply. Figs will be
homegrown too, but the supply is
about 100000 pounds larger than
last year.

Beauties Hints
Keep SparklerS
Bright; Avoid
Straining Eyes
BY ALICIA HART
NEA staff Writer

Eyes that work nine to five need
care on the Job If they are to
practice their witchery after hours.
To avoid strain, work by a good
light. A strong light is usually
good light, but be careful of glare.
Light should illuminate the object
you're working on-not your eyes
and It's best approach Is over your
shoulder
Stopl And either close your eyes
or look into space a minute or so
after half hour Of peering at your
work. If eyes are doing firing work,
take time out for a longer period
Of rest.
Sit or stand up to your job. A
slouchy posture, while eyes are
busy, puts a strain on them as we'll
as you body. Don't try to catch up
on your reading while you're riding
to and from work.

have cashed five clubs, two dia-
monds and two hearts-but he
saw q chance Of making four no
trump, and did not realize that
the spade shift might hurt him.
Robertson realized he would be
playing the declarer's game If he
returned a heart.
On the first heart trick West had
played the deuce Of diamonds, tell
ing his partner not to shift to
diamond. Robertson felt that his
partner had to have something to
justify the diamond overcall, and
decided to play him for the ace
Of spades. If he had led the eight
of spades, he would have blocked
of the hand; but Robertson made
the nice defensive lead Of the spade
jack. West overlook with the ace
and returned the nine Of spades
and the declarer was fixed. East and
West ran off four spade tricks and
defeated the contract.

been more ready and willing to raise
the rent on tenants with new babies,
Landlords are tough customers
when it comes to children. Many
Of them have already taken on
the just as vicious practice OF
sticking to a mo children" ruling.
NICE GOING!
So it is well to nip in the bud
any other bright little scheme that
would work a hardship on par
ents.
It's hard enough to have and
feed and clothe babies in war
time without facing boost in rent
every time new baby comes into
the home.
Our great grandparents had
their families of eight and ten
and didn't feel 1t was anybody's
business how many children they
had-least of all their landlords
The country would be better
off today II 1t were still assumed
that when couple marry they
will probably fill their house with
children, instead OF having land
lords act as though that were the
unforgivable crime.
