Learn To Add If You Want Food Must Market Early In Week By Ann France Wilson NEA Service Staff Correspondent Washington, Feb. you want to eat, you've got to the unofficial slogan accompanying War Ration Book No. 2. There are not going to be any "emergency" rations for those who just got their adding balled up and bought month's supply for two weeks. You'll learn the hard way -that is, you just won't get any canned goods or meat if you spend your coupons unwisely or if you just can't add.

More About Points Of course, when you start buying with money and points you'll still get change--but you won't get any "point" change. You'll either have to forfeit your extra points or buy another can of food with the right amount of points in order to make up the difference. So you're going to be asked to buy the most expensive in point values canned goods and meat cuts -at the beginning of the ration period so that you won't be caught with just a few very high point stamps left for the last lap. Also, you're going to be urged to do your shopping early in the week in order to make it easier on the grocer who has to account for all his point stamps and who's going to have good deal more bookkeeping to cope with. My Day By Eleanor Roosevelt ing visit from William H.

Dennis of the State Department and Dr. Arndt of the United States Office of Education, who is working with State Department on cultural relations between the United States the Far East. They brought three young Chinese students, who, after obtaining their college degrees in this Country, are gaining practical experience along teaching lines so that they may be able to decide what will be useful to their people in our scheme of public education. I have an idea that rural education is going to loom very large in China for a time. A combination of the basic tools necessary to obtain any kind of education and technical knowledge about the agricultural problems which confront the people of China may be the most valuable kind of education.

I doubt very much whether we have ever developed the type of be useful in China. We are still gropmedical service which will al eventually ing to discover the best ways of reaching our people, all of our people that is to say, with good medical care. I received a letter the other euclosing an article which describes the Group Health Cooperatives, Inc. This is a non-profit medical service corporation in- New York City. It is a health insurance plan under which 2,500 physicians in all fields of medicine and surgery offer their services to subscribers at an average cost of two-and-one-quarter cents a day.

The basic annual cost to an individual is $9.60 and $24 paid by a family in offers surgical care in any hospital, the doctor's office or the tubscriber's home. It also covers- obstetrical care at home or at any hospital, and medical service while the subscriber is a bed patient in any hospital, or for any illness not requiring surgical or obstetrical care. This plan, of course, is designed for people with incomes fror: $1,300 to $3,000. Under certain circumstances. people pay additional amounts for services outside those specified.

Germany WAS the originator ol the insurance principle many years ago. Then Great Britain followed. accepting this as the best method of incorporating government interest on low income groups as to health and employment. We seem to be following this lead but there is also the possi. bility that the need might be met through taxation.

It seems to me that a direct health tax bill for all might be a more democratic way of achieving the same results.

Give Children Faith In Future By Angelo Patri In talking to boys and girls of high school age we find some among them who have little hope for the future, their own, or our country's, or our way of life in general. That these are few, compared to the great number of, hopeful ones, makes their plight no better, our duty to them no less.

We must try to find the cause of their despondency and remove it, setting hope and faith and action in its stead. Some of them believe. that when the war is over the whole world will be down in the depths of depression with no hope of recovery. Some believe that their brothers and fathers who are at the front will never return. Some feel 80 bad about the whole matter that they see no use in going on with their education in preparation for a future that cannot emerge from such a present day.

Counteract Despondency Youth is highly impressionable, their emotions are easily raised, they are likely to suffer intensely in silence from hidden dreads of one sort or another. The teachers, the social service workers, the leaders of Youth movements all, must be on the watch for despondency in Youth and correct the mistaken ideas that tend to create it. There is great reason to hope even in the midst of a war, Life will not end with the war but go steadily forward with greater impetus because of the stored energies, the stimulus of experiences life in wartime always affords. People will need to keep house, rear children. feed and clothe and care for them and maintain homes for them and those homes will be the reason for greater effort, more intelligent action, greater production than before.

What is more, there will be work for these young people to do. work in plenty, and we should point that out to them and help them to prepare for it. When they are busy. preparing for usefulness in the future that future must look brighter. Skilled Workers Needed These sad ones will need to have specific work planned and they will not feel the nesd.

We must show it. them. People must be fed, housed, clothed. That spells work. People rust be helped in times of trouble 30 we train physicians, nurses, firstciders, household experts.

specialist in humanity. That calls for a host of skilled workers. We are going to keep on using machines to lift burdens off men's backs, to save time, to shorten distance, to supply needs and luxurles and that spells workers to run the machines, machinists to make and mend them, specialists to create them. The future is rich in hope. Guide the children toward it.

Fear lies hidden in many a youth-, tul heart and we must gently and tenderly discover it and let the kindness and understanding of experience wipe it out for the suffering children. They fear that their soldier brothers, friends and fathers may never return. Encourage them to hope. Show them that there is every likelihood of. the return a of their.

loved ones. Teach them to hope for that day, work for it. believe in it, pray for it. Hope is tonic to the spirit. faith is its.

substance. Encourage both in the older children and so help them through these hard days. Shyness very often affects a child's school work. Angelo Patri discusses shyness and offers help in overcoming it in a special leaflet. 3.

Reserve Officer Passes His Exam By Ida Jean Kain The Major is now minus 40 pounds and back in fighting form. In fact, he is probably in the thick of battles somewhere in the Pacific, I happed to get this story because in a reckless moment I confided to one of my editors that I thought I ought to go to work in a factory and make bullets. His retort was, "'Stick to your gun, sister, You've got your war job.

Let me tell what you did for the Major." It seems the Major was in the Reserves and rarin' to see action. But he couldn't pass his physical examination, He weighed 40 pounds too much and had high blood pressure. The medical board advised him to take his weight down and come back. Then they'd see. He was pretty mad about it and went home and told his wife.

But she consoled him with, "There's a little piece in the paper every night that should fix that. It has calories and everything and keeps you healthy as you So he the went on the diet. This 15 probably only case on record in which the man's wife did not have to nag him to persuade him to stay on his diet. If his wife hadn't held him down, he would have cut his calories too low. Even so, in a very short time he was back at the medical board.

He was minus the pounds and looked five years younger. He also had his blood pressure under control. I can't tell you how much his blood pressure dropped but it came down to normal. It doesn't take the loss of much exdess weight to do that. There have been instances in which losing as few As 10 pounds resulted in a 14-point drop in the blood pressure.

At any rate, our favorite Major was in fine shape and able to go back to the wars. Hearing about him has perked up my spirits, But I can easily understand how some of you homemakers feel. You would like to chuck whatever you did in peacetime and join the Army, or take up engineering or aviation. At least, you could join the lady welders! But we can't leave the home fires untended. And it may be that your job is more important than you have.
