With a single excep- | tion, so far as The Citizen has seen or heard, | no thought has been given to ‘practisiny | economy, despite the fact that, if there has ever been a time in the history of the state | when strict economy should be put into ef- | fect, this is the time. | As the war continues, the higher will | be the amount of federal taxes we will have to pay. But state politicians: have not given j cerned cnly in trying to hit on other | schemes to skeletonize further the taxpa er’s, pocketbook. Not a word about saving a dollar; ihe | sole cry is for more and more dellars, all of which will come out of the pockets of the al | ready strapped taxpayers. The only exception in the entire state | for more and higher taxes; is cur own repre- | sentative, Bernie C. Papy. Recently in The war, the state, county and city governmenis | should strive every way possible to econo- mize. Thousands can. be saved here and thousands can be saved there, he asserted, if the state and its subdivisions spend 4s carefully as a thrifty man spends in these times of-stress. x Commenting on the loss of the reve- nue from the race tracks, he stated that Florida got along well without revenue from them and can get along well now without chat source of income, if the state, the coun- | a thouzht to that eventuality.

You already have War Ration Book Two; you need not register again or declare how much of these foods you have on hand. But when rationing begins remember that: 1. Red Stamps may be used for any of the foods rationed in the Meats and Fats Program. The seme stamps are valid for meat, cheese, butter, canned fish, margarine, etc. 2. The point ‘value of each item is set on a pound basis. But the amount of any food your points can buy will depend on whether the item you choose has a high or low point value. How to Shop 1. First study the “point values” of the foods you buy most often. To help you, you'll find 2 “Point Value Table” hung up in your food store. Or, better yet, you can dip a meats and fats “Point Table” from your newspaper and keep it handy. 2. Take War Ration Book Two with you ‘when you shop for meats, cheese, or any of the other items, just as you do now when you buy canned, frozen or dried fruits, and wegetables. ‘Tear the Red Stamps out in the presence of your storekeeper or his delivery man. 3. If you find you do not have the exact amount of valid Red Stamps to give for a purchase, your storekeeper can give you your change in “1-point” stamps. For example, if you must give him 2.5-point stamp to pay fora it purchase, he can give you a ‘Lpoint pas change. But he cannot use the, 2-,.5-, or 8-point stampsy-es _stamp has a letter on it which is.valid at.the sree ea eR 4% 4. Your Storekeeper cannot always cut ‘meat or cheese to the exact pound weight you wish. That means you must know how ‘many points you should pay for ounces, too. A special table has been provided on the we—93376-1 | —_—_—_—_ Official Table of Consumer Point Values for just such cases. This table breaks the point values per pound down into ounces. If one ‘of your purchases has an ounce value of less than half a point you do not have to pay an additional point. But if it is one-half point or more, your retailer can collect a full point. 5. Budget your points.—Spend Red Stamps carefully. Make them fast for the entire sation period. When you receive “L-point” Red Stamps as change, use them the next time you shop, if possible, and be sure that they don't expire unused. 6. Remember, you still use. the Blue Stamps for processed foods and stamps from War Ration Book One for sugar and coffee. No change can be made in Blue Stamps. ia (©. &, CoUEaNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.

Rom- mel’s mechanized units cut through our lines in central Tunisia; We have been warned by our leaders that the road to victory will be tough and that lInzses sustained will be heavy. This cautionery advice was uttered with refer- ence to the situation in Tunisia and by of- ficials who understood something about the battle zene. It would be nice if every time Amer- ican soldiers moved into a position the en- | emy would realize that the battle was use- | levs and retreat rapidly to get out of the way of our fighters. Unfortunately, this is net | the case. Our relatively inexperienced soldiers faceaGerman army of much experience and compesed, for the most part, of hard- bitten campaigners. It is not treason to sug- gest that cur army has a real job ahead of it. : There has been something of the im- pression in this country that just as soon as | the weather in Tunisia improved, Amer- ican soldiers would begin an advance that would overwhelm the Nazis. In part this idea has been spread by news dispaschee ex- plaining that mud _ interfered mobilizaticn of strength on the front line, with the prediction that when roads became | sable, we would move forward and that would be all there would be to it. Consequently, it comes as something of a shock to many Americans to read in the newspapers that Rommel’s men, who re- treated more than fifteen hundred miles | before the British Eighth Army, had been able to mass an overpowering attack upon the front held by our soldiers. Even so, we should not be disconsolate. Having knowledge of the dangers that con- front the Allied forces, let us remember that our initial, disappointing setback occurred with the | . notches. | chiefly conducted in daylight, with the great in an area that was held by a “handful” of | Americans for two months by sheer bluff, | But the spending spree is on, govern- i zases, and while there is little hope of curb- | Yerk. ing the latter, the former should realize ; the taxpayers who are wellrigh bled yaad already.
