A 20 per cent smaller volume Of
commercially canned vegetables is
expected for 1944-45 consumption
than was available for the cor
responding l943-44 period.
Vegetable juice volume will be Is
per cent lower.
War requirements for food for the
year beginning July are estimated
as 10 per cent greater than for
the current year.
Present estimates of civilian
fooC supplies indicate the restora-
tion Of point values on a number
Of the canned vegetables that have
been rationed in the past. The exact
date is unpredictable, but civilians
should be aware the present point
holiday on canned vegetables is
only temporary"
Florence Glenn, home demon
Stration agent in Imperial county,
says this quotation from recent re-
port on the nations food situation
by the VIA is particularly import
ant anc shows the need for contin-
uing the home food processing and
production program.
With reference to a specific crop,
Miss Glenn says home preserva-
ton of tomatoes is particularly vi
tai because the civilian supply for
the coming year will be four mil
lion cases less in 1914, a reduction
of % per cent.

IA Jap WorshiPs
Hit by Bombs

in the Sunday engagement two u.
S. aircraft carriers and one battle
ship received superficial damage,
and 81 planes were lost in combat.
The fighting ability of the war
ships was not impaired by the slight
damage to them.
The communique said nothing OF
U. S. naval damage in the Moncay
battle off the Philippines, and it
was indicated that no information
was available yet.
HIT IN EVENING
The heaviest blows in the air
sea battle off the Philippines were
struck in the last daylight hours
of Monday. After darkness closed
in, the japanese broke off the en-
gagement and flee westward toward
the channel between FormoSa and
Luzon, from which they emerged.
Nimitz disclosed that the u. S.
victory was SO decisive that units
still are ranging the battle area
three days later in search of Amer
lean airmen who may have survived
from the lost planes. Many of the
creWmen landed in the water at
night, and an undetermined num-
ber already have been rescued.
