DAY, MARCH 4. 1943

ase Rationing estrictions On Tires, Gas Liberalization of rationing wtrictions, announced this week by the Office of War Information, points to fewer headaches in the near future for Mr. and- Mrs. Cape Slay Citizen. , In a bulletin issued Monday, the OWI announced that civilian supplies of canned vegetables from next summer’s estimated pack wiU be increased by approximately 10 million cases under new food orders which provide changes in the amounts of certain processed foods that must be reserved for government requirements from the 1943 pack. Most of the increase wiU be in canned tomatoes and snap beans with no significant change in frtaits and juices. Car owners who drive to work and do not get enough mileage from their B ration books may now get additional allowances—if they show they cannot get to their jobs any other way. Applications-must be made to local rationing boards and must fnlfill the following conditions in addition to needing more gas: teat driving is between home and a fixad place of work in connection with thev principal occupation; that either a ride-sharing arrangement has been made or that the vehicle carries a full load; that alternative transportation is inadequate. Owners of tires smaller than 7.60 *20 wilt soon be able to get their casings recapped witly>reclaimed rubber “camelback” without applying to their rationing boards for certificates. This does not relax the need for continued observance of rubber conservation measures. The change was made to reduce the demand for replacement tires by encouraging recapping which takes less than half as much reclaimed rubber as a new war tires. The quota of grade 1 passenger" ear tires for March has been practically doubled. The increase will take care of accumulated applications, but will not be continued in succeeding months. The quota of truck tires for March was reduced as compared with February, but the truck tire recapping quota was

laereaaed.

Farmers may obtain gasoline for their • tractors, engines and other non-highway equipment for a period of six months instead of three months under a change in rationing regulations announced Vy the OPA. The change is being made because of the variability of farming operations which frequently make it difficult for farmers to estimate their requirements for only a three-month period. It will

also save the farmers time.

An announcement by the OPA this week stated that prices for used bicycles will be substantially

reduced In the near future.

Home visits and home demonstration meetings, where questions qn gardening and on foods conservation will be answered are also being planned as part of the Home Food Supply For Victory program in the Garden State. “The wartime food production standard for every farm family in New Jersey is a ton of food a year for each person on the farm," Miss Butters declared. “That quota should include not only a generous quantity of garden E roduco for canning and storing, ut sufficient poultry, eggs and milk to meet good standards of nutrition and home-produced fresh and smoked meats- within the rationing limits. A 100 per cent response to the national roll call for rural women is one way of assuring this high standard of production and of making possible the release of larger amounts of the commercial food stocks to our armed forces, our allies and for

The estimate that the east coast ban on non-essential driving saving 30,000 barrels a day made in Washington recently by Prentiss M. Brown, OPA administrator. The estimate was based on reports from the petroleum industry showing that at various points along the east coast passenger car gasoline consumption has fallen off from 16 per cent to 25 per cent since the ban went into

effect early in January.

The Price Administrator at that time, paid tribute to the cooperative spirit of the American people in commenting upon the success of

the emergency measure.

The OWI said the national total showed a considerable decrease from December to JanuaryFour other states—Arizona, New York, California and Pennsylvania —showed larger totals for the first month of the year than New Jersey, however. Green Creek Women Study War Menus GREEN CREEK — A group of Green Creek women last week learned how to use the unusual meats which the government is recommending. Mrs. C. N. Schellinger organized a class which was held at the hall on Tuesday, under the direction of Miss Lois G. Hamilton, county home demonstration agent. The women prepared pig tongues in tomato saure, kidneys and mushrooms on toast points and brain omelet. The women used the food for luncheon so each member had a chance to sa.'ple e unusual dishes. Speaking on the food value of the luncheon, Miss Hamilton said that any kind of liver, kidney,' heart, brains, sweetbreads and tongue is high in iron and phos-

phorus.

"This is a point to remember if milk is going to be rationed and the housewife needs to look to other foods to get the daily supply of phorphorus,” Miss Hamilton said. “Liver and kidney are excellent sources of vitamins A. B, C and G, and the other unusual meats are all good sources of vitamins B and G," she con-

tinued.

Those attending the meeting were Mrs. Beatrice Conover, Mrs. Cora Carlton, Mrs. Emma Craven, Mrs. Jane Schellinger, Mrs. B. Barnett, Mrs. A. Crawley, Mrs. C. N. Schellinger, Miks* Sarah Thomas, county librarian, and Ralph Schellinger.
