Civilian Supply
0fFood AT Low
Point Says 0PA

The Tightening and extending
OF the food %rationing program was
a necessary step in the face of
decreased civilian supplies of SUI
gar. butter, meats and CONNER
cially canned fruits and vegeta-
bles, said Major w. +. Holcomb,
district OPA director.
"A good example Of the low
food supply lies in the butter and
beef situation, the OPA official
declared. Butter has virtually
disappeared from many stores,
and the supply of utility beef will
be 6l per cent lower in January
than last month.
With the greater intensity of
the European War and with work.
ing stocks of food so low, both
1915 stamps and the old stamps
could not have been honored with
pfapective Supplies SO much
~sniellar. II wdaid have been ttn-
fair to let some people spend
stamps unneeded in 1914 for food
available in l945, and when
Americans realize this fact, they
will welcome this action Major
Holeomb explained.
Ration Stamps Now Valid
Ration stamps which are now
valid are as follows: proeessed
foods, Blue stamps KS. VS., rs,
AZ and BIZ, now valid at 10
points each. CO through ca be-
came valid January /. 1915. Meats
and fats, Red stamps, Q-5, RS, SIS
and T-5, through KS, are now
valid.
Sugar stamp number 81 is good
indefinitely for five pounds of
sugar. All canning sugar cou-
pons and stamps are invalid. Air
plane shoe stamps No. /, 2 and 3,
are valid for an indefinite period.
Gasoline stamps Ala are valid
through March 81, 1916.
Inventory Required
Institutional and industrial
users of rationed food items are
required To take a net point in
ventory as of the close of business
December 81, 1914, and to file
such inventory with the local ra-
tionlng board with which they are
registered. Major Holcomb. dis
triet OPA director. SAID.
This inventory must be filed
under all circumstances by Jan

WITH THE AEF:
Western Front Hospitality

Enlisted men do not have much
trouble, but junior officers COM
plain bitterly that they often are
not invited to eat by many organi-
cations they have to visit on bust
ness, and that officers messes, par
ticularly in some larger areas,
make considerable difficulty at
times before feeding them.
They do not understnd that the
British army is operated different
ly from their own. British messes
are run on much tighter rations
than the Americans, and many
British officers visiting outside
their own organizations often bring
their own rations with them so as
not to impose burden on another
outfit.
American messes in Holland and
Belgium not only feed all Army
visitors, but often a large part Of
the surrounding countryside, par
ticularly children. Undernourished
children hang around American SOL
diers and pick up scraps of food.
Many of these have been "adopted'
and stand in the chow lines with
the GI's.
When the doughboys first came
to Holland, American CPS and mess
crews were shocked to find middle
class Dutch men, women and work
ers picking through army garbage
cans. This resulted in more food
conservation by the soldiers than
any army order ever did and
many messes arranged that after
each meal all excess food would
be ladled out as long as it lasted
to civilians;
Typical of the spirit at these
army messes is that at the 18th

Scrap Paper Collection

The Junior Chamber of Commerce viii con-
duct its second collection of waste paper here
today and whether the drive is a success
depend on you.
Everyone is familiar with the Importance
Of paper in the war effort. There are hundreds
of uses of the material as Ernie Pyle, famous
war correspondent, once pointed out when he
wrote the following:
''How many times have you hunted around
for little piece of paper because you want
ed to write somebody at note, and there just
wasn't any paper to be found
THAT would be an even more awkward situa-
ton if what you wanted to write was mes
sage for reinforcements to get the hell up
to the hot corner where you were and help hold
off that wave of Nazi SIS troopers who are just
across the meadow, studying you through the
sights of Spandau machine guns.
II suppose millions of message pads have
been printed by the War Department. but
plenty of times historic messages have been
written on the backs of laundry slips, just the
same. Paper and articls made from it are
among the most expendable kinds of war
equipment now being supplied to the troops
Which, suppose, is why waste paper is today
the number one war material shortage on the
home 'front.'
Until you arrive in an active zone, you've
simply no idea how many tons of paper are
needed to get an army all the stuff it needs
and there are about 100000 things our Army
needs right now, and will keep on needing until
they march into Berlin and Tokyo It's not
Just the ammunition, its everything else SOL
der wants at time another, in battle
or after. K and rations are paper boxed, so is
the new ration which first turned up in North
Africa, containing practically everything you'd
find in any well-provsioned overnight bag
II remember the camp of a tank until lust
ut the front. All around it there were piles OF
paper cartons and wrappings, some almost as
high as your head.
II recall hard-won field but lately taken bv
some of our paratroopers not long after D-day
It was spangled with vari-colored parachutes
which had been dropped with them, carrying
food, ammunition and knocked-down machine
guns. Those supply parachutes were made
of waste paper.
II can see the piles of blood plasma boxes
In the hospital tents during the Hedgerow
War in Normandy. They saved many a life,
and those boxes were all made of your waste
paper
To assure success of the collection today, be
sure and have all your scrap paper within
sight of the collectors as they start making
their rounds at p. m. Place it on the curb,
but not too close to automobiles, where it might
be overlooked 1t will be impossible to make
return calls.
The campaign will have duel benefits. Not
only will it provide salvage of a vitality needed
war material but the proceeds from the sale Of
the paper will go to the 1nfantile Paralysis
fund. So please do your share by contributing
every scrap of paper available.
