Rural Women Will
Pledge More Food
For Our Freedom
Mrs. Estelle T. Smith, assistant
home demonstration agent at N.
C. State College, has announced
that all rural women in North
Carolina will be given the oppor
tunity of signing a pledge in the
Food For Freedom” campaign,
which will be held during March.
Presidents of home demonstra
tion clubs, county federation pres-
IdenU, district chairmen, mem
bers of the executive boards, and
.’.ome demonstration agents are
all taking part in the drive. Home
demonstration club women, with
the assistance of neighborhood
leaders, will visit every family in
(heir districts and explain the
food situation.
Mrs. Smith said that "Live-at-
Home" is not just a popular slo
gan but is an idea which should
receive the serious consideration
of every warm family throughout
the State. Plenty of fresh fruits
end vegeti'.bles duriiig season and
enough home-canneJ products for

tilt remainder of the y^, Wjil.ye-
lieve-the strain or. ratio)ts«l
and guarantee an adequate stipply
of commercially canned products
for the armed forces and the Al
lies.
Rursl w'omen are oskod to make
plans for about one ton of food
for each member of their families
for the year. As a result, the Vic
tory Garden will be a No. 1 proj
ect on every farm. Meetings for
canning, brining and drying food
will be held. Thousands of home
demonstration club women over
North Carolina have produced
ai.d conserved enough food for the
entire family in the past, and
these leaders W'ill attempt to make
the ‘ Live-at-Home” program a
reality on every farm in 1943.
Bodies of Jap Women
Seen on Guadalcanal
Guadalcanal. — Bodies of three
Japanese women, supposedly nurs
es. have been found in the jungle
in western Guadalcanal, the first
direct proof of the presence of
Jap women during six months of
fighting on the island, Col. George
F. Ferry of Chicago, said today.
.Since the United States inva-
uon rumors have been prevalent
that the enemy was using women
as snipers, nurses, pilots and ev
en ordinary soldiers, but there
had been no verification. It still
is believed that Japanese women
have never been here in large
numbers.
The three whose bodies were
found evidently died of malaria,
not bullets.
The thrifty housevrife should
know food grades. This war pe^
riod is no time to buy a "pig in a
poke”. When shopping for the
family’s food, it is very important
that you know as much as possi
ble about your groceries before
you part with either your money
or your ration stamps.
One way to know what you are
buying, is to get foods with U. S
Government grades, whenever it
is possible. Government grades
are accurate. By purchasing such
graded foods you can get what
you want at the price you want to
pay. Take canned fruits and
vegetables, for example. If you
get the grade-labeled can, the
label tells you whether the food
is of A, B, or C quality. The
growers considef size, ripeness,
freedom from blemishes, tender
ness and uniformity in making up
the grades.
Grade C canned good.s are of
good quality but they are not as
carefully selected as the first two
grades. How'ever, they may have
the 'Advantage in food v^ilue be
cause the fruit or vegetables may
have been more mature when har
vested. You don’t need high-cost
Grade A peaches, if you are go
ing to cut them for a salad or
cobbler.
Buying the grade that suites
your use is a simple way of cut
ting down on the food budget. It
is the thrifty buyer, who buys
the lower- grades, whitfh are less
expensive, when the fruits and
vegetable.s are to be cut up or
combined with other foods.
Butter has just been put under
grading. It previously had been
graded, but the grades were in
number.s instead of letters. Today
all butter comes in five grades—
the top grade is AA, next A, then
B. then C, and the lowest grade
for butter'is “U. S. Cooking”.
A re-ent food distribution or
der allocated to ice cream manu
facturers about 65 per cent of the
total milk solids used last year.
It gives a full supply to the armed
forces and curtails the civilian
.supply.
Matches to Be Shorter
But Still No Shortage
Washington. — Matchcg will be
shorter, hut Americana won’t be
short of matches, the War Produc
tion board reported today.
A new WPB order requires the
i-^duction in the length of match
es by 1-16 to one-quarter of an
inch and elimination of frills on
matchbooks. The order also lim
its the length and width of wire
stitching on matchbooks and re
duces the striking surface.
WPB conceded all this might
sound trivial, but said it means
nearly 7,000,000 board feet of lum
ber would be saved in 1943.

Higher priority ratings for a^
wood lumber required for esaena 1
tial agricultural usea are prOfrided
in an amendment to the softwood
lumber conservation order, -neJ
cording to G. T. Sratt, chairman
of the State USDA Waif Board.
Under the new raUag, fanners
arc provided with an AA-2 prior
ity rating for lumber oaed in thi
maintenance and repairing of Jiie
farm buildings, o^r than dwell
ings. An AA-4 rating is provid
ed for most other agricultural
uses, such as constructing shel
ters, barns, pens, sheds for live
stock and poultry, and other es
sential buildings.
"Automatic preference ratings
are not provided for new softwood
lumber to be used for such agri
cultural purposes as construction
of new dwellings, garages, ma
chine sheds, repair shopg and sim
ilar buildings”, Scott said. “The
s( ftwood lumber conservation or
der, however, does not affect the
use of home-sawed, used, or hard-
wod lumber for any purpose, un
less otherwise restricted. Regard-
loss of the type of lumber used,
pre.sent conservation orders pro
hibit construction of agricultural
dwellingfs costing $200 or more
without prior approval of the
War Production Board”.
ile said the amendment makes
it compulsory for dealers to fill
purchase orders carrying a pref
erence rating if they have the ma
terial on hand and do not have
orders pending with higher prior
ity ratings.
