Service BOard Open Foods Drive Posters Will Stress Coed Cooperation WSGA House of Representatives and WSGA Junior Service Board are prompting a campaign which will stress the value of war menus and the vital necessity of eating and not wasting foods served in the women’s dormitories, accord ing to Elizabeth B. Scherholz, chairman of the drive. . A series of posters . will be placed in the Freshman Dining • 'Commons, • McAllister Hall, and Atherton Hall each week. The ob ject of the posters is to attempt to curtail complaining by the reali zation that people are doing with out many foods at home. The posters will also outline nutritional needs for each day in accordance with the natiort-wide “health fox defense” program, explained Mir iam R. Ramsey, poster chairman. Daily menus appearing on bul letin boards in the dormitories will •be inserted each day on the post ers, Miss Ramsey said. Other coeds serving with Miss Scherholz include Isaphine M. Braley, Patricia Diener, Anna C. Nicholson, Ann Sheffield, and Miss Ramsey. “This committee plans to repeat announcements in dining rooms and posters until coeds realize the importance of food in defense,” said Miss Scherholz.

Have You Made Your Date |ii!iiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniii!iiii^ \We, DL Women | It won’t amount exactly to a re--* turn of the barefoot boy, but the well-slocked American shoe bag will soon be as rare as the full gasoline tank. Washington has de creed that from novv on the United States citizen can buy no more than three pairs of shoes per year. Initiation of shoe rationing will undoubtedly be a great hardship for the world’s most pampered woman. The fact that ’this first step will probably be followed by restrictions on purchase of other types of clothing dpesn’t make the outlook any more pleasant, Of course, rationing is .always a last resort. It comes only when people fail at. voluntary conserva tion. , Contrary to popular misconcep tion, shortage of materials is not the sole cause when government steps in to curb the country’s pur chasing power. Even more vital to the nation’s welfare in times when war industries boom and pay checks zoom is the necessity. to take part of the surplus earnings out of circulation, to keep prices down. What goes up must come down has heretofore proved a rather re liable economic policy. When it goes up too high something hap pens . . . something like 1929. So, coeds, the government has realized that coaxing you to buy War Bonds isn’t a stiff enough measure. They’re going to try something new. They’re going to forbid you to buy non-essential items, so you will have money with which you can buy nothing but War Bonds. They’re going to conserve war materials and fight inflation with the same instru ment . . . rationing. for Don V Miss DANCING M 2 Barefoot Boy Almost Comes Back As Government Restricts Shoe Sales - It isn’t a great sacrifice. Even a coed should be able to manage on three pairs of shoes per year, especially considering what she already has in her closet. Of course, it will eliminate things like new dance slippers, but may be dance slippers would be a poor investment right now. Perhaps Washington has the right idea. The College decided to stop coaxing about the sugar ra tion book situation. Maybe next semester you will schedule re quired courses in surgical dress'; ings. Maybe voluntary cooperation just fvoh’t work. — ARF MORNINGSTAH BREAD Morningstar Bread is fine for every purpose. It makes sandwiches that are pleas ing in taste and at the same lime nourishing.
