Ration Value Of Meats And Canned
Vegetables Is Increased Thru July

Food rationing controls relaxed
thru June have been increased thru
July both for meats and canned veg
etables by the Office of Price Ad-
ministration.
Choice cuts of lamb and also some
cheeses have been restored to the ra-
tion list and increases are effective
for most beefsteaks and beef roasts.
The present scale makes the high
est point level for beef since ration
ing began, with all rationed cuts re-
quiring two additional points per
pound this month except ten inch
rib roasts and rump roasts which
were increased one point.
Under the new rationing setup,
butter continues at IL points per
pound and margarine at two.
Except for choice beef and lamb,
all meat, including canned varieties,
remains point-free. So does canned
fish.
The meat-butter-cheese ration of 80
points per person each four weeks
remains unchanged for the July ra-
tion period and pork, veal and the
cheaper cuts of lamb and beef will

Secret Of Famed Paraguay Spider
Web Lace Making Is Closely Guarded

The Blufton Netos presents
another IN the series of import
ant bat lesser known aspects of
South America.-EDIToR
The making of fine and precious
laces has always been an attribute
of the old world. One is apt to for
get that Paraguay, in the heart of
South America, is also one of the
lace-making centers of the world,
producing pieces of workmanship
that can easily compete with the
best known European ones.
The Americas have their Malines,
their Alencon in the small republic
of Paraguay, locked in the center of
the continent between Argentina,
Bolivia and Brazil.
The nandsti-as Paraguan lace is
called-got its name from a word
signifying "spider web" in the ma
tive Guarani language. This is in
dicative of the fineness and delicacy
of texture of the product which is
quite unlike other laces in that it is
always made in a circular design
suggesting a spiders web.
Requiring days and weeks of skill
full and patient labor nandutis are
made with needle and thread on a
silk, cotton or linen cloth tightly
stretched on a square embroidery
frame.
ial and the lace-maker works on. the
threads until the design becomes as
filmy as a cobweb.
There are great many patterns
used in the making of the Paraguy-
an lace, most of the motifs being
"stylized from local flora and fauna
such as parrots beaks, ibis, scor-
pions, turtles. s. -
Flower designs are great favorites,
particularly that of the guava flow
er, and as many as twelve different
patterns are sometimes introduced in
one single piece, most of them be-
ing intricate and difficult to achieve.
1t is interesting to note that each
of these designs has a symbolical
value and that "as a rule, if not in
variably, the forms in nanduti are an
biographical representation of var
ious natural things of the country
and even sometimes of positions, ges-
lures and personal attitudes"
The secret Specification of some of
the patterns has been jealously kept
by the native workers as well as GER
tain ways of working, the making of
nanduti requiring not only patience

Last reports say Is camps will be
set up in Ohio to house and feed
men imported to work on Ohio
farms. County agricultural agents
are official labor procurement of
ficers, and applications for farm
workers should be made at the
agents offices.

be point-free.
Another change is in canned milk
which now requires two points for
three one-pound cans instead of one
point for two cans as heretofore.
Also restored are ration point val
ues for canned peas, tomatoes and
asparagus. 0PA has assigned a
value of five points for No. cans
of peas and tomatoes. Asparagus
will require 10 points.
Word from OPA headquarters was
that points would be restored when
the remainder of the 1943 vegetable
pack was cleaned up.
Other processed food changes for
the period thru July 20 include the
return of branded, spieed and pick
led fruits to rationing. They get the
same point values as other canned
fruits.
Spaghetti sauce and tomato sauce
in eight-ounce containers are re-
duced a point, but vegetable juice
combinations in 46-ounce cans get a
new value of five points up from
four. Frozen fruits and vegetables
remain ration-free.

The banks and ground adjacent to
the park at the Buckeye Quarry
have been given treatment to kill the
growth of poison ivy. The plants
have been sprayed by Ray Mumma
who on the advice of Oliver Diller
at the Experiment at Wooster recon-
mended the use of ammonium sui
famate mixed with water. With a
pressure sprayer 13 gallons of the
mixture were sprayed over the vines
as the first step in the control last
Saturday afternoon.
If the growth has not been COM
pletely eradicated the remaining
vines will be given similar treatment
in the near future.
This solution used in the treatment
is also very effective in controlling
wild blackberry, ragweed, and Rus
sian thistle. Canadian thistles re-
quire pound to the gallon of water.
While cutting wheat at the Ander-
son farm Jess and Harry Anderson
discovered a rabbit neatly tied up in
a sheaf of wheat. The bunny had
passed thru the binder and upon
being released from the sheaf scamp
cred away uninjured.
Fishing is still slow at the quarry,
but few have been taken the past
week.
Byron Stratton broke all known
records by capturing a II inch rock
bass. He was using a fiatfish when
the big fish hit the plug. He later
snagged a IL inch bass on a red
head plug.
Other catches have been made, all
of small size and at infrequent
periods.

tions adopted June Ia by the Ohio
Conservation and Natural Resources
Commission. Few other changes
were made in the game regulations
for next fall and winter.
The rabbit and bird season will
open at noon, E. w. T., on Nov. IT,
with the pheasant, Hungarian par
fridge and grouse seasons ending on
Dec. 2 and rabbit hunting continuing
through Jan. 13.
The squirrel season in northern

tative regulations, were left as last
year. The dates established were:
Northern zone, Sept. % to 30, in
elusive; southern zone, Sept. Is to
30, inclusive.
Trapping and hunting of coon will
be from p. m. to 6 a. m., Z. w. T.,
from Nov. IL to Jan. 20.

The red fox season will be from
Nov. II to Jan 13 in counties of
the Seventh Conservation District,
plus Noble County. Hamilton County
was removed from the closed counties

and deftness but also sensibility and
artistic feeling.
A completely feminine industry,
the manufacture of Paraguayan lace
is almost entirely restricted to one
place, a small town called Itaugua,
near Asuncioon, the ciptal city. 1t is
said that only given number of
families in Itaugua know the secret
of lace-making which is transmitted
from mothers to daughters as a do
mestic handicraft.
Let us hear tourist tell of his
experiences: Nearing Itaugua we
met girls carrying lace frames.
Women and children, from great
grandmothers of ninety to girls of
nine, were on the doorsteps hard at
work at their craft. They spoke
Spanish as well as their native
Guaranf. The young women, each
with abundant black hair in two long
braids, looked attractive in their
simple white gowns. Stockingless,
they all wore sandals"
Another visitor had this to say:
"the tejedoras (lace-makers) sit on
chairs leaning backward in such
way that the lower limbs have no
support and at the end of the day
they have their feet swollen. The
younger ones sing as they weave and
the older ones smoke the baguassu
cigar" Today, some nanduti are
machine-made.
The labor and skill that goes into
the making of nandutf is i'll reward
ed, indeed, for collars and doilies
made made of it are offered to the
tourists for ridiculously low prices.
sWomen vendors stand at the en-
trance of hotels, at the stations at
train time, with trays of nandutf
awaiting the pleasure of prospective
customers and displaying that pa
tience which is so necessary to their
art"
Nanduti is believed to be an evolu-
ton from needle-point lace which
came into Spain from Flanders in
the 10th century and on to Spain's
colony on the Paraguay. Through
the years it has developed into what
is today a native art, influenced by
the country's personality. Probably
in no other place in the world do
human beings spin threads into cob
webs.

Swine erysipelas was brought to
the U. S. from Europe about IA
years ago and appeared first in the
midwest. The disease now is present
in nearly all hog production areas.
A mild form of the disease kills but
few animals, but a more virulent
type kills about rs per cent of
animals affected unless the hogs have
been protected by serum or vaccinat-
ed for immunization.

Adams, Scioto and Pike Counties,
Dec 4 to 3, inclusive, was adopted,
the season having been shortened
from the two weeks period of last
year. These regulations are tenta-
tive subject to final adoption at the
next meeting of the Commission,
July Ii.
The following resolution was
adopted for forwarding to the L. S.
Wildlife Service expressing the Com
missions suggestions for the Ohio
water fowl regulations for this year:
"Inasmuch as the duck flight in
Ohio is greatest in the immediate
vicinity of Lake Erie, and, therefore,
most of the duck hunting in Ohio is
done in these counties, it is the
opinion of the Ohio Commission of
Conservation and Natural Resources
that Ohio remain in the Northern
Zone.
However, since there is desire by
others to hunt ducks throughout the
balance of the state, and since they
are limited in their opportunity to
do so III their home counties, due to
the peculiar weather situation pre-
vailing throughout Ohio, it is our
recommendation that the state be
divided into two zones with the fol-
lowing counties of Lucas, Ottawa,
Sandusky, Erie, Huron, Lorain, Cuya-
hoga, Geauga, Lake and Ashta-
bula in the Northern Zone and the
balance of the state to be placed in
the intermediate Zone.
"If this cannot be done, the alter
native recommendation of this Com
mission is that Ohio be left in the
Northern Zone and that Is days be
added 20 the season."
