Page 6__________________________________ SAVE YOUR PAPER November 11, 1943 THE CATCH The editor of a country newspaper retired with a fortune. When asked the secret of his success, he replied: “I attribute my ability to retire with a $100,000 bank balance after 30 years in the newspaper field to close application to duty, pursuing a policy of strict honesty, always practicing rigorous rules of economy, and to the recent death of my uncle, who left me $98,500.” -----v----WORSE THAN EVER Mr. Ginsburg had been complaining of insomnia. “Even counting sheep is no good,” he sighed to his partner in the clothing business. “It is only good if you count up to 10,000,” replied his partner. “Try that tonight.” But the next morning Mr. Ginsburgh was still complaining. “I did not sleep a wink,” he said, “I counted the Conserve paper! That request has been made to all the people by the government. Even before we were in the war, the government was using one-third of the nation’s paper box production for arms needs, and now military demand will rapidly increase. On top of that, the armed forces have many other important uses for paper of all kinds. The cheapest forms of paper, such as newsprint, can be reclaimed and made into boxes and other articles. When you do your shopping, get along with a minimum of wrapping. The National Association of Food Chains offers consumers five good suggestions when it says: 1. ) Don’t ask for a bag when an item is already packaged. 2. ) Don’t ask for separate bags unless necessary — or any bag at all if you have only a few items to carry. 3. ) Take groceries in cartons when available — then use the cartons as receptacles in which to save waste paper at home. 5.) Remember to save on all kinds of paper. I i Don’t think the stores you patronize are being stingy when they stop using paper, string, tape and other wrappings in the wastefully lavish form we’ve become used to. When they cut down on paper use, they are cooperating with the government. This is just one more of the many ways retailing in all its branches, chain store and independent store alike, is serving the country now. Every family can help in the conserve paper drive. Save all you can and turn it in when you reach a substantial poundage. The Army and Navy need it. ------------v-----------• CHRISTMAS SEALS AND THE TUBERCULOSIS LEAGUE Sometime this week, Christmas seals will be folded and inserted in envelopes to be mailed from the seal sale headquarters of the Tuberculosis League. Women members of various groups are assisting in this huge undertaking; and if their interest and cooperation is an indication, the Christmas Seal sale should be eminently successful this year. Many of these women made real sacrifices in time and energy to help in this work; and they were actuated by a knowledge that tuberculosis threatens to increase during these war years, and the sale of Christmas Seals makes possible the continuance of the program for tuberculosis prevention and treatment through out the country. Please assist in this good cause by purchasing all the Seals which you possibly can, and help fight this dread diseasé. DELAY NO LONGER in GETTING YOURSELF INSURED because LIFE IS SO VERY UNCERTAIN DIET IN WAR TIME War and defense have renewed interest in an old problem — nutrition. A people which works harder and longer must be better fed if it is to have edquate strength and resistance. At the same time, rising prices and shortages are creating budget difficulties in millions of families, which are dangerous to health. What we must learn is that a costly diet is not necessarily the right diet. One family may spend twice as much for its food as another and yet have a poorer diet from the nutritional point of view. And inexpensive foods of high nutritional value can be made consistently appetizing by proper and varied preparation. Food merchandisers are carrying on a very important work on behalf of better nutrition for the American people. The chain stores have been especially active, and other kinds of stores have cooperated. The chains, for example, are working directly with the government and are passing on« information to housewives through their advertising and literature. As an authority has said, “At the present time, this is part of the National Defense Program, but is timeless in its value to individual consumers and the nation as a whole.” Ask your retailer for advice — read the advertisements and the leafléts which tell of ways to cook inexpensive and abundant foods with the dual purpose of obtaining maximum “appetite appeal” and maximum nutritional value. When some foods become too expensive for your purse, there are substitutes which are equally nourishing. A sound diet is a vital factor in building and maintaining a sound nation.

She spread one thickly with jam and gave it to him. A little while later the boy returned. “Thanks for the jam,-missus,” he said. “There’s your board back again.”-----v-----■ A group of congressmen was conferring. Said one: “We’ve got a one hundred and twenty million dollar appropriation to spend which will get us each thousands of votes.” “I’ve got an idea,” said one, “on how to spend it. How about building a bridge over the Mississippi River, lengthwise?” 10,000 sheep, I sheared ’em, combed the wool, had it spun into cloth, made into suits, took ’em to the City, and lost $20 on the deal. I didn’t sleep a wink.”-----v----FINERY At a meeting of an urban district council, the clerk announced that he wanted a supply of ribbons for the typewriter. At once a member protested against such extravagance. “She is a very satisfactory girl,” he said, “but I don’t see why she should be provided with finery at the expense of the taxpayers.” -----v----“I see,” said the man who reads, “that over in Australia they have earthworms ten feet long.” “Yeah?” growled the old married grouch. “Well, over here there are plenty of them between five and six feet tall who are worn to a frazzle earning money for families who are trying to keep up with the Joneses.” m um m m Your book of War Savings Stamps—even though full— pays you no interest, unless you turn it in for War Savings Bonds.
