The Home Front
A good deal of the nws from
our fighting fronts has been bad
of late. But there never has been
any excuse for easy optimism in
this war, art.yw.ay. We know we
are going to win, but we know, too,
that it will be victory hardly won.
From this standpoint there has
i been a lot in the past few days to
inspire confidence. The ' surface
currents, at the moment, favor the
Axis but beneath the surface
moves a strong tide and that tide
runs against our enemies. That tide
is the tide of American Produc
tion, a swelling tide of planes and
tanks and weapons in which, on
fortunate day, our enemies will
drown.
Production Goal In Sight
The President himself announced
last week that we "are well on our
way toward achieving the rate of
production which will briing us to
our goals" and his heartening state
ment was followed this week by
two significant announcements
war shipments by the automotive
industry in April were 4(& percent
greater than such shipments in
February, and plants engaged in
the War Production Drive con
tinue to smash all previous records.
Add to these developments the
fact that conversion of peace-time
industry to war production that
change over from the manufacture
of gadgets and appliances to the
manufacture of guns and gun
mounts and military instruments
is going forward apace. The ans
wer, the sum total, is a promise
of defeat for Hitler and Hirohito
and Benito, the Baibbler.
There is only one necessary qual
ification our manpower and our
production will supply the weapons
needed by our troops and the
troops of our allies to beat our
enemies, will supply the ships in
which these weapons are carried
to the fighting fronts iif and
here's where all of us come in
our transportation system remains
, equal to. the burden and the flow
of materials to the processing
plants continues without slacken
ing.
These things are our responsibi
lity, that's why the Office of De
fense Transportation has called for
an end to all Unnecessary travel
for the duration, that's why the
War Production Board has called
for an intense renewal of the cam
paign to get scrap metals and ma
terials back to the furnaces and
the mills.
All of us, by now are aware of
the importance of these things or
should be. All of us know the des
perate need to sae rubber, know
' the staggering load carried by our
railways, know the unceasing de
mand of our factories for metal,
metal and more metal to make the
tools of war. To make Hie tools of
a war which is at our doorstep, a
war which stands in our Aleutian
Islands and off our East Coast
Beaches.
Greater Salvage Campaign
As soon as the Scrap Rubber
Drive is over, we are to begin a
new and intensified . salvage cam
paign. This campaign is to start
July 13, and The War Production
Board's Bureau of Industrial Con
servation expects it to reach into
every home and every factory. We
need metals of all kinds iron,
steel, copper, aluminum as well as
fats and greases and tin cans from
selected metropolitan areas. We
must round up every last ounce of
waste material. Every discarded
floor-lamp, every pound of kitchen
grease every empty can we turn
in will fight for democracy. It's
not enough to raise our production
sights again and again we must
salvage our wasted resources to

OPA Roll Back Mere Rents
Control of prices is vital to our
fight to keep down the cost of liv
ing and that means control of
rents. Several months ago Price
Administrator Henderson named
302 war rental areas and gave local
authorities 60 days in which to
cut back rents to lower levels
Many of them failed to heed the
warning. Now OPA has stepped
into 54 of those areas and ordered
rents reduced and stabilized. This
action touches the lives of a fifth
of our total population. Next to
food, rent is the largest item in
the average budget. A war worker
cannot produce efficiently unless
he is decently housed at a reason
able rental.
Housewives can help win the war
by keeping their families well-fed.
OPA is making their job easier
for them by specifying that begin
ning July 13 beef and vial mus
be graded according to government
standards and must be plainly
stamped. From now on the house
wife will know exactly what she's
paying for no guesswork.
State College Answers
Timely Farm Questions
QUESTION : What is a good
mixture for fattening hogs ?
ANSWER: Recent research has
led to a slight revision of the min
eral mixture recommended in Ex
tension Circular No. 238 on "Rais
ing Hogs in North Carolin," says
E. V. Vestal, Extension swine
specialist. For Eastern North
Carolina, especially, Vestal sugr
gests the use of 10 pounds of fine
ly ground limestone, 10 pounds pf
thoroughly steamed domestic bone
meal (hardwood ashes or ground
phosphate rock may be substitut
ed), and five pounds of common
salt. The mineral should be self
fed and kept in a dry place where
the hogs can help themselves. Do
not mix mineral with the feed.

ANSWER: The future of herb
production itf North Carolina, says
L. G. McLean, associate horticul
turist of the State College Experi
ment Station, is in the gardens of
individuals who wish to enhance
their drinks and cooking: For
those who are interested in mass
production, coriander, sage, cara
way, anise, dill and rosemary of
fer the best price at present.
These herbs will grow well in
North Carolina. The Prices of
most common herbs are high at
present hut this condition will not
exist when world conditions re
turn to normal.
Extra Bank Funds
and Victory Bonds
Both Aid Uncle Sam
"Shall I buy war bonds or re
duce my farm mortgage indebted
ness while I have a chance?"
This is a question some farmers
are asking secretary-treasurers of
their national farm loan associa
tions and the Federal Land Bank
of Columbia. In answer to the
query, Julian H. Scarborough,
president of the Federal land
bank, declared today :
"Money sent to the Federal
land bank for future payments on
land bank or Commissioner loans
which is' one way of reducing farm
mortgage indebtedness is invested
either in Government securities or
deposited with the U. S. Treas
ury. This makes the farmers feel
they are accomplishing not one
but two things in placing their
cash in the future payment fund'
they provide for their own secur
ity and stop payment of interest
on that part of their loan equal
to the funds deposited, and they
are assured that the money will
be working for Uncle Sam"
Mr. Scarborough declared that
each farmer's problem is a little
different ,so naturally each answer
must toe different. He assured
farmers, however, that war bonds
and future payment funds do not
oppose each other, but go hand
in hand.
SUGARLESS COOKIES
Here is a recipe for sugarless
cookies from the Farmers Feder
ation News :
Molasses Drop Cookies
1 cup molasses
1 cup honey
1 cup melted shortening
1 egg
1 cup hot water
2 teaspoons soda
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Yi teaspoon cloves
Vi teaspoon nutmeg
4 teaspoon allspice
I teaspoon salt
Sy2 cups flour
1 cup raisins
1 cup nuts
1 cup nuts
Beat eggs, add honey, molasses,
salt and spices. Mix thoroughly.
Add melted shortening and hot
water, in which soda has been dis
solved. Add flour, nuts and raisins.
Drop by spoonsful on to a greased
cookie sheet, and bake in a mod
erate oven (over 350 deg. F.) for
fifteen or twenty minutes. Sugar
may be used instead of honey, of
course, but let's make real "war
cookies" and use honey. It really
makes better cookies, anyway!
Before measuring molasses or
honey, dip the measuring cup or
spoon in scalding water, then it
