Every Family That Can

Is Urged to Grow Food


Home Victory Garden Programme
Adopted unanimously by National Victory Gardening
. Conference, in Washington, D. C., December 20, 1941.
Hone gardens are those on home or other home-
controlled grounds, planted and cared for by iem-
bers of the family, the products of which are primarily
used for home consumption.
An effort should,be made to encourage every. fam-
ily controlling a fetiltie'lot of land to piirduce af'least
part of the family's food supply, both for immediate
use and for preservation for future use.
The objectives of home gardens are:
1. To produce food for home consumption to the
end that the food habits of the family may be im-
proved from the standpoint of nutrition.
2. To maintain the morale of the individual family
and the public.
3. To save family food expenditures.
4. To conserve labor, materials and transportation
facilities.


A National Victory Garden Pro-
gram was launched at a confer-
ence of two hundred representa-
tives of publications and organiza-
tions interested in horticulture,
called by Secretary of Agriculture
Wickard and Director McNutt of
the Office of Defense Health anl
Welfare Services, in Washington
Dec. 19 and 20.
The program calls for the grow-
ing of food for family consumption
in home, farm and community gar-
dens, and by school gardens, for
both family and school use. Also
fruits, flowers, lawns and shrubs
will be encouraged, as "an essen-
tal part of American life and a
Stimulus to national well being."
Summing up the recommenda-
tions of the conference, M. L. Wil-
son, Assistant Director of Defense
Health and Welfare Services, said:
"The Victory Garden Pro-
gram offers the widest possible
wartime participation to citizens not
engaged in the military service, or
the emergency services of civilian
defense."
Organization of the campaign
will be directed by Secretary Wick-
ard and Director McNutt, and will
enlist "all existing public agencies
and invite the co-operation of
all private agencies such as radio
stations and networks, the daily

Youth groups, such as the 4-H
clubs, Future Farmers of America,
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and all
similar organizations will be en-
rolled as workers in the campaign.
The Men's Garden Clubs of Amer-
ica, National Council of Garden
Club Federations, Garden Club of
America, Women's National Farm
and Garden Association, were rep-
resented at the conference, and will
be active in the campaign.
Technical information and super-
vision will be supplied by the De.
apartment of Agriculture, state land
grant colleges, and other public
agencies. State Defense councils
and the Office of Civilian Defense
will be active in promoting Victory
Gardens.
"As we go home," said Mr. Wil-
son in dismissing the conference,
"we may look forward to partici-
pation in what each one of us rec-
ognizes as one of the vital efforts
for victory in the second world
war. We do not know how long
that war may last, but we do know
that irrespective of its duration we
,have welded together a plan which
we are confident will make a real
contribution to victory."

Our Country (. Right or Wrong

CIVILIAN'S ROLE IS IMPORTANT
With America locked in a death grip with
three of the most barbarous nations the world
has ever known, the time has come for
civilians to pause and review the situation..
We along the Gulf coast may see some of
the shooting, since enemy submarines have
been reported in the Gulf, and Port St. Joe
has three objectives-the paper mill, the gas-
oline pipeline terminal and the Kenney flum-
ber mill-which are doing their bit toward
winning, the war and which might conceiv-
ably become targets of Axis sea raiders, iut
Sthe majority of our civilians will never see
the firing lines of World War II. But our role
is important for it is we, who are'left behind,
:who must supply the American army, navy
and air corps with food, clothing and arma-
"ments :from this day until peace once again
is declared.
Farmers who once tilled their acres with
San eye .to economic security must now be
prepared to' sacrifice, if necessary, to grow
.those products which our fighting forces will
need. Factories which now can envisage the
eaviest profits since the lush days of 1928-29
must turn their machinery to making war
products, even if at a heavy loss.
All of us will be required to pay more
taxes until, perhaps, one day we will think
the "breaking point" has arrived.
But -in the face of all this, we at home must
realize that even at the worst we are making
only slight sacrifices in comparison to the
boys who have gone to battle-so intent on
defeating the enemy threatening our homes
that they are prepared to given even their
lives.


The farmer who used to come to town to
swap horses became modernized and came to
town to swap flivvers. Now he's looking for
any kind of a horse to swap for his flivver.


If you still think you're as young as you
used to be, just try laying a floor and you'll
come to the conclusion that you've finally
advanced to the upper age brackets.


Taxes are on the way .up and it won't be
long now before business men will be asking
the government to take their profits and re-
mit the taxes.

Nowadays when a motorist brags he drove
50 miles in 40 minutes we look at him pity-
ingly and think what a darn fool he is to
wear out his tires like that.
*--. -@B'

This war may bring about the realization
that our necessities are too luxurious and our
luxuries are too necessary.


Short "skirts advertise knee-action.


SHORTAGES IN JAPAN
Some of us may mutter and moan about
getting only 12 ounces of sugar per week, but
in Japan, which has been preparing for this
war for several years, sugar is rationed on a
pound a month basis, and milk can only be
obtained from what we might term "boot-
leggers."
We're complaining about having to do a
bit of walking to save our automobile tires,
but in Japan automobiles have never been
common with the ordinary citizen. Matches
are limited to four a day. Thread is practic-
ally non-existent, hence clothing falls apart
from lack of repairs. Cotton for bandages is
found in few hospitals, and quinine, ether and
similar drugs are seldom available.
All coal mined is set aside for war produc-
tion. Charcoal is scarce and regulations pro-
hibit making it in backyards. Nails are worth
their weight in gold, and thieves steal them
from fences, which consequently collapse.
When the government needs inore money
to carry on the war an officer steps up to
Mr. Average Jap Citizen. and tells himn what
he has to dig do\vn into his jeans for. Dur-
ing the current year the average Japanese
must take at least $55 worth of national
bonds for each person in his fanmily-or else.
And that's something, for income per head
does not exceed $103 a year, according to
statistics.
Similar conditions prevail in Germany ani
Italy, .so we, should indeed be thankful that
we are living in a country that is not ruled
by war-mongering overlords:'


THIS SCRAP ON OUR HANDS
Five hundred pounds of scrap rubber are
needed for evefy medium tank; a battleship
may contain as much as 9000 tons of scrap
metal; ten thousand tons of waste paper wilt
be neeedd this year to make ammunition con-
tainers alone, and three miles of copper wire
go into a modern bomber, according to fig-
ures presented by the Manufacturers Clip
Sheet.
Facts like these make it clear why every-
body must begin to save materials as wt-
never have before. Government officials say
that salvage operations will play an important
part in winning the war. Our industries are
expanding at such a rate that they will need
vast quantities of scrap to keep them going
full blast, making weapons, and it's up to us
to see that they get it.
Salvage campaigns are being organized
everywhere to gather material of this kind,
and every one of us can help in these collec-
tion drives, for all have scrap of some sort to
contribute.
If you've been saving things just in case
they might come in handy, they might come
in handy now for Uncle Sam, and if you
haven't been saving, now is the time to start.
At the present time, principal attention is
being given to conserving rubber and paper.
Merchants are asked to use a minimum ol
paper in wrapping parcels, and to use none
at all for packaged goods, and store deliveries
have been reduced to two or three a day.
Of course, these items dpn't come under
the head of scrap, but paper once used be-
comes scrap, so everyone should understand
what is being done, and co-operate. Don't
ask to have your purchases wrapped or put
i.n bags if you can conveniently carry then-
as they are. Take your purchases home your-
self, instead of asking for delivery service.
Save boxes and paper of all kinds and turn
them over to the Boy Scouts-they can be
reclaimed and put to further use.
Do your little bit by saving every bit ot
scrap material.

The map shows how the Americas with war to the, east and west
have lined up. Traditional anti-U. S. sen'timerit has dwindled in
many Latin-American nations in the face of a common danger. But
in some of them the strong pro-Axis minorities are busily plugging
the old story of Yankee imperialism.


'The sugar bowl suddenly takes
the center of the stage. It is no
longer an everlasting source of
sweetness, with sugar enough to
satisfy the appetites of every
member of the family. Its con-
tents must now be used cautiously
at the rate of less than two ounces
per person per day.
So Junior, who loves to pile the
sugar up on his cereal, must now
go easy. Grandma, who likes four
lumps, in her morning coffee,
must get along with two, and sis-

ter must discover that grapefruit
-if its Flori l raised-is plenty
sweet enough without so much as
a grain of sugar. And those of us
-h'io propjre the family meals
must arjust our menus ani recipe
to the new situation.
However, in spite of the incon-
venionpires, many women almost
welcome this rationing of one of
o i1 r everyday necessities. For
months we've been asking what we


do, we can play a small but vital
part in the war effort by co-oper-
ating wholeheartedly with the
government in using no more than
our rightful share of the limited
supply of sugar.
It would be fairly easy for the
average housewife to hoard sugar
. an extra pound here .. .. an
extra box there and we coula
soon have a nice little store of
sugar on our pantry shelves, so
that we could have rich desserts
and icings and candies long after
our neighbors are getting along
on rations.
But can you imagine enjoying a
piece of chocolate cake if the icing
is made of hoarded sugar or
letting your child waste sugar on
his oatmeal when the boy next
door is getting along on his right-
ful share? Let's live up cheerfully
and loyally, to the first war-time
privation that hit us.
This sugar business isn't really


wouldd do to help our country win serious. But it's a straw in the
this war. We've wanted a chance wind, and if we take it in our
to take an active part in the stride it'E a pretty good indication
struggle. Now at-last we can. No that we'll take other inconveni-
matter where we live or what we ences in the same patriotic way.

Gary Cooper and Joan Leslie in a :ove scene from "Sergeant York"


.Warner Bros.' mighty picturiza-
ion of "Sergeant York" plays at
he Port theatre- February 18, 19
ind 20. Th'e widely-heralded bio-
-.aphical tribute to one :iof the
worldd War's greatest heroes has
)een :.cl.i'meil from' coast to
oasit as the greatest picture, of
ahe year.
Gary Cooper playss his greatest
role to date as the Tennessee
mountaineer who "got religion,"
became a conscientious objector,
yet emerged as one of the great-
est heroes of all time!
The war sequences are unpar-
alleled, and opposed to these
thrilling moments are the tranquil


scenes showpg Alvin York's life
in Tennesse and the metamor-
phosis from ,enegade to hero.
Undoubtedly the film's greatest
'sequence is tat delineating York's
capture of 13P Germans. The feat
remains in :.aar annals as one of
the most amazing of its kind.
More surprising still was York's
admission that he hadi accom-
plished' this only to stop more
killing, since he believed in the
biblical, adage, "Thou shalt not
kill."
Others in the cast are Walter
Brennan, Joan Leslie, George To-
bias, Stanley Ridges and thousands
of others.
