Left TO Plant Victory Garden Food Shortage To Be Critical—You Can Help In Emergency Although the farmers have a great deal to worry about, the victory gardeners in this area have not been hurt—yet. This is the word of Walter Postiff, expert gardener who resides on Lilley road. At the same time from other sources came additional warn- ing to the gardeners to grow all the food they can this sum- mer, and conserve it for next winter, for food will be an ex- tremely scarce article at that time. "The floods in the middle West have reduced the volume of food which will be available for next winter," one source declared. "It is entirely likely that rations for the entire nation will be cut be- fore this time next year. "Every v i c t o r y gardener Should take this into consider- afion in planting the garden. The slogan, `if you don't grow your own, you won't eat next winter' still holds good." Mr. Postiff, who has been planting gardens for a number of .years, and is listed by the Plymouth Garden club among the experts to be consulted by the amateurs this summer, said this week that the rains have not hurt the gardens too much—yet.

Joseph J. Wickens, owner of the Specialty Feed Co., whose home used to be in Belfast, still gets the Belfast Weekly Telegraph, which this week contained the ration point values of foods there. Thereis this difference. In this country, we get 16 ration points per person, per. week. In Belfast, a person gets 20 ration points for a period of.say April 4 to May 1, a period of nearly a month. And during that period, those ration points won't go very far. Cereal breakfast foods, which are not rationed here at, are quoted at 2, 3 or 4.points per package, de- pendent on the size of the pack- age. Canned herring and mackerel sell for 2 points for a five ounce tin. In the :United States they are seven points a pound. Fruit in Belfast is quoted at 12 points for a large tin, 9 points for a medium sized tin and six points for a small tin. Compare that with your own ration points, bearing in mind that they get. only 20 points for three weeks. Canned meat loaf sells, plus cash, at 18 points for a 12 ounce tin. Here, it is only seven points. In Belfast, canned rabbit is 20 points a pound. Rabbit is not ra- tioned here. Luncheon meats, sold in slices, is 16 "points a pound, compared" with an average of 10 points in the United States. Tomatoes are 3 to 9 points (when available at all) depend- ing on the size of the tin. Dried prunes (which are not rationed here) cost four points a pound in Belfast. It takes about 40;000 Nazi oc- cupation troops in Norway to hold down` that country's popula- tion of approximately three mil- lion inhabitants.

These girls have re- ceived in part, the highest rank in Camp Fire. Awards for sell- ing the greatest amount of cook- ies were given to the following: Betty Schumacher and Marilyn Schumacher, first prize; Patricia Isbel and Patricia Grabowski, second prize. A candlelight service was used to open the banquet, the candle holders were Theresa Litwicki, Rosemary Siterlet and Joyce Hockstadt. Welcome to the mothers was given by Jean Gil- lies and the answer by Mrs. Ed- ward Gillies. Rosealyce Case sang cowboy songs and the Dan- iel girls gave two selections on their accordions. The girls and mothers were led in song by Pamela Krause. The guests were Miss King and Miss Robin of the .Children's Village. Thelma Ma- honey, a charter member of Camp Fire, presented the Guar- dians their award which was a trip to week -end camp, to fur- ther the work in Camp Fire pro- gram. The banquet was closed in the traditional way with a friend- ship circle and singing "Good Night Wo Hew." The banquet was held at Chil- dren's Village, Six Mile road, on Monday, May 24. Only 0.5 per cent of United States cattle are infected with tuberculosis as compared to 40 per cent of Britain's cattle.' The 45 per cent increase in tubercu- losis deaths among British chil- dren which occurred in 1041 may be blamed at least in part to unsafe milk.
