LOCAL BOARD DIS
CONTINUES SENDING
QUESTIONNAIRES
In view nf the Armistice recently
signed, the local board has been or
dered to discontinue the mailing of
questionnaires to men above thirty
six years of age,t but to proceed to
mail questionaifes to all men eigh
teen years of age. s y
The Board is ordered to complete
the physical examihationsf all
First Clas3 men from 18 to 25 years
of age.
A number of questionnaires to
men above 36 years were mailed
before receiving the government's
order vto discontinue. The records,
which will eventually be sent4 to
Washington, will show the question
naires mailed. In order to avoid
the appearance of a record" default,
it is suggested that all who ' have
received questionnaires fill "up the
same and return tnem to the Board
as promptly as convenient. The
War Department has made a re
quest that all persons, who can
write, fill up their pwn question
naires. Experience has shown that
the man who fills up his own ques
tionnaire, does itlmore carefully. i

NO IET UP IN THE

conservation! bf 'food stuffs is not
now fully as important as it was at
the height of the food shortage,"
declared County Food, Administra
tor, E. Ei' 5rown. J
Mr. -'Brown continued: . .
"While the suar situation has
improved, largely due to jthe splen
did aid of the American housewifei
In reducing consumption, and also
by ther availability of the domestic
cane and beet sugar, the needs for
greater exports in other lines ( is no
ssi marked. The United States
must increase the food exports by
one:half from a harvest no larger
than last year's.
The prominent ' )art which the
American woman has played in
conserving sugar is best understood
by a comparison of our consump
tion of sugar during the past' four
months with the consumption for
a similar period - in normal times:
Normal consumption, of sugar for
months of July, August, Sepjtembar
and October was approximately
400.Q00 pounds per month; r 1,)00,
000 pounds for the four mopth.
Following the appeal for sugar cpn-
servation there was saved approx-
iinately 300,000 pounds during that
period of this year. Seventy per
cent of the sugar consumed in the
United States is used in the home.
Last spring, when we had only
20,000,000 bushels of wheat for ex-
,port above our normal requirements.
the American people made sacrifices
by saving that enabled us to send
180,000.000 additional bushels of
wheat besides the ndrmal exporta
ble surplus. Of this the housewife
alone saved , a total of 13,000,000
barrels of -41ourt6r a saving equiva
lent to approximately 24 pounds of
flour for every man,; woman and
child in the United States.
- The same loyal spirit of sacrifice
has beeeh shown in the sugar con-
Wryation program and it is xwnfi-j
denyy felt by the ,Food Adminis-
tration that the American, people -
rwill give renewed devotion to the
food program which calls for a
greater saving on all foo4 commool-
