Ai) Sasucriptioei A tosoW Soil By Uoaor Ctnek er IteiL Monday Afternoon, November 9, 1942 COUHTKY tin Flat ol our COFFEE RATIONING Now that the Cumberland rationing board has received definite instructions concerning the rationing of coSee which go into effect November 28, local consumers ol this beverage have no further reason for alarm. Judging from the talk we have heard for several weeks past, there are those in this community and the same is likely true everywhere who con- jiider coffee, rather than bread, the real stall of life and have been in mortal terror lest this co-called necessity would be completely taken from them. As a result there has been a lot of hoarding which has been as uncharitable as it has been unAmeriean. When rationing goes into effect, we are officially informed, each person over 15 years of sge will be allowed one pound of coffee every five weeks. This may look like hardship to the real coffee topers who consume several cups of this beverage at a meal and may even slip in a few extras between meals.

But when it Is reduced to a per capita figure, it is found that the amount of coffee that will be sold under the rationing system Is but little less than that which has heretofore been sold normally. In virtually every large family there is somebody who does not drink coffee at all or who drinks it sparingly. These persons, provided they are more than 15 years old, will, of course, be entitled to a ration book and there is no reason why their share of the coffee shall not go to members of the family. Culinary experts are responsible for the statement that one pound of coffee will make 50 Red Cross officials have said that this amount will make more than 50 cups. Much depends naturally, upon whether one wants his coffee strong, or medium.

Thofe -who want strong coffee can get it by using what is called "coffee essence'' which, as we understand It, is not made from coffee but when, put into the coffee pot, has a genuine coffee taste and sdds strength. This coffee essence used to be widely sold, especially in country districts, and It ts said to be available at present In some Cumberland stores although a superficial survey recently made by a Cumberland housewife reveals that it is not in stock in most groceries. It is likely however, that it will gain new popularity when rationing becomes effective. It Ss our observation that coffee is not widely used at present as it was years 3go. Not so long ago we had the opportunity over considerable period.

note the food tastes of several hundred young men, rar.sing in age from 18 to 22 years, who were students in one of the largest board- tne colleges of the country. These young men had their choice of beverages and it was surprising how many of them took miik Instead of tea or coffee, and many drank nothing but water. This is likely the result of the educational campaigns on diet and eating health that have been conducted in many quarters for several years. During the Civil War it was virtually impossible In many parts of the country to obtain coffee. There were no coffee substitutes on the market as there are.today, but the people managed to set along by making a beverage out of browned grain wheat for the most part to which they added some of the coffee essence to which we have referred.

Oider persons who still re- nu'rnber those days will tell you that they didn't miss real coffee too much. If Hitler to miehty, let him hold an flection now.

A large midwestern unl- fersity has lor some years maintained an evening department In the material of the daytime courses is made available at time when the busy man or woman Is free to attend. This fall courses are announced hi some useful matters In which instruction is seldom giyen. Forum leadership is ons.

The head of a group learns not only how to start discussion, but what is often more Important, when and how to stop it, as well as how to keep it on the track. How to organize s. speech Is the theme of another course. Still another shows how to put ideas across with skits and plays, on the sound theory that dramatized skit la often more effectire for carrying viciion than reams of copy. But the course that will strike home to more people than any other is what Is modestly called "Tinker's Course." Here in six lessons the amateur learns how to change washers, repair electric cords, doorknobs, window frames, and the manifold mishaps of a.

house. It is an Idea for any community. A lot of Americans would gire a plugged pfennig to know Adolf inner feelings just now. Postscripts Parents who used to enter their ion Jn Groton as soon as he arrived on the scene now find that they havt an even pressing problem. They can't wait for his arrival to put the anticipated infant on the waiting list of a diaper service.

When the WPB allocated factory space, its expert? overlooked, the historical fact that in wartime birth rates rise. The result is that diaper services art finding it Impossible to keep up with the demand, and have established waiting lists come, first served, while the didees last. Of course, you can launder your if you can get them. So many looras have been converted to war use that stores are running short of the proper types of cloth. There just ain't no end to the troubles going to see.

We have no tip-to-date figure on deaths at the hands of the enemy since Pearl Harbor. Without doubt, even with Guadalcanal, they are far below the 42,000 who have been killed by accident in this country during the 10-month period. Dr. Victor G. Heiser that this toll "means a broad grin on the faces of Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito a grin which must be wiped off and wiped off soon." To that we say a.

hearty Amen. People are learning to reconsider assets which in ordinary times might be overlooked. One such is the amount of valuable work that can be done by men with physical handicaps. Henry Ford has long known this, and made a place for them in his organization. Now the Consolidated Aircraft Corporation is working out a plan for using the blind and crippled.

A man defective in one respect may well hare other talents adequate for certain jobs, and may thus release one physically perfect for the army. To find these talents sometimes entails a good deal of work for the management, but the need justifies the effort. And such a war-time gain is likely to be carried over into time. 1 of peace. Coffee rationing has come, some ex- say.

The natives stayJiome on weekend nights and turn ths town over to visiting firemen from Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and farther. It's all your Sunday-best shoes are worth to get caught in a tide- walk jam. The human traffic moves in riow, sluggish stream from building to curb.

Sometimes there isn't room enough on the sidewalk and you take to the gutter. In front of the theaters are lines of people waiting for the privilege of spending their money. Standees wait in the doorways of the night hoping to get People on Broadway are speaking of "Hollywood money," meaning that while you may have a good paying job, in a war plant or elsewhere, tt goes almost as quickly as you because are to high. As I write, there are 28 stage offerings, all of them doing fair to turn-away business. The number not excessively large, but I doubt if there have been so many inferior productions all at one time, hanging on despite bad reviews because people want to see plays (or have the money to spend for them, which Is the same thing) and are waling 1 to go to a lesser show when they can't get into a hit.

There are, also, probably half dozen productions that in ordinary times (and when did we ever have ordinary times?) would have run their course and would have been closed. Hits, for instance, like "Aa- gel Street" and "Blithe Spirit" and Danny "Let's Pace of them have broken rules which usually lead to oblivion.

ANDERSON "Why," a housewife asks, "should I be paying for the war bond advertising that my favorite department store is running regularly in. the paper?" The answer to that question that my housewife friend isn't paying for she should glad to participate.

Every department store of top calibre recognizes that a successful business should run a certain amount of advertising that makes no effort to create immediate, specific sales advertising that carries no items of merchandise, no prices and no invitation to buy. It is generally termed "institutional" advertising. "How," my friend asks, "can this possibly be practical or profitable The most important thing a department store has to offer potential customers is certainly not any single item of merchandise. Every store in the world has merchandise, and "exclusives" are not numerous. Nobody has a corner on the market in any line because advertising and the system of free enterprise prevent monopolies.

The important basic offering of really great store is its reputation, its standing in its community. War bond advertising is evidence of a store's civic consciousness. It evidence of the right attitude, desire to be of community It is pace-setting, example-setting advertising. Because it furthers a project that is valuable to every one of us. It cannot fail to make all of us feel friendlier toward the store that runs it.

If an advertisement can make friend for a store, ii's worth it's weight in pure gold.
