Better Join The "Nuts" Group We have the WAVES, the WAACa Sl'AItS, and other women's organiza-1 tions in the war activities but the j latest and one that is essentially a civilian group is called the NUTS. Despite this name the club is rated as one of the most sensible that has been formulated for many years. The name "NUTS" comes from the initials of the "No Unnecessary Telephoning] Society/' It was formed among a group of students of the Sacred Hearts school of Atlanta. The members of this school, all girls, declare they have even threatened to ban calls from boy friends ashing for dates but as ybt they haven't gone that far?they only ash boys to make calls snappy. These girls have set a patriotic example to telephoners everywhere, one that can be a great help In the war effort. Speak briefly when you use the telephone and make fewer local calls.

More suitable marking and directional signs may be placed in the vicinity of the location of the Hat tie of Camden according to word received from the National Park Service of the United States Department of the Interior. Herbert E. Kahler, Supervisor of Historic Sites with headquarters in Chicago, has been in correspondence with the Camden Chamber of Commerce relative to the Battle of Camden. Early in January the Chamber of Commerce sent the director a copy of the account of the Battle of Camden taken from Historic Camden. The matter was at that time called to the attention of Mrs. E. C. VonTresckow, regent of the South Carolina chapter of the Daughters of the American Resolution, with the request that she inform Mr. Kahler what steps have already been taken to mark and preserve the Camden battlefield. This has already been attended to and the National Park Service Beeks to have a enltable site marker put In place and directional signs placed upon highways leading1 to the historic spq.t*Some years ago the Daughters of the American Revolution took steps toward having the battlefield made a national park. The movement did not get very far in Washington. This program will be renewed at this time and in as much as the National Park Service has taken the initial step It is to be hoped that after these many years this great battlefield will receive official recognition and become a national shrine. The D. A. R. would like to see the area cleared' of all under brush and dead timber and then fenced in. High Points Of Point Rationing (Continued from nrst page) each stamp shows how many points that stamp is worth. 5. The letters show you when to use the stamps. The year will be divided Into ration periods, and an alphabetical series of stamps will be made valid for each period. "A,"' "B" and "C" stamps will be valid for the first period. 6. You may use the blue stamps when you buy any kind of rationed fopds. Different kinds of foods will take different number of points. For instance, a can of beans might take a different number of points from a can of peas. Your ration period allotment for the family will go farther if you use as many low point foods as i possible. 7. Of course, the more of anything you buy, the more points it will take. A largo can of peas would cost more than a small one. Two pounds of a rationed commodity would take more points than one pound. i 8. The government will set an official point value for each size and kind of commodity. These will be posted in your grocery store where Tbu can "'see them. ^From time to time, probably not oftener than once a month, the government may change these point values. Changes will be announced and posted in the store. 9. The number of points for each kind of processed food will be the same in all stores and in all parts of the country. Price variations do not mean variations in point values. 10. Under the point rationing system, you will have to budget and spend two types of currency?money and ration coupons. 11. Keep War Ration Book One. You will need it for. sugar and coffee. br a 6 a B 1 g jg 1 "I Have Money U In The Bank" S I It is recognized everywhere that it is ! a fortunate individual who can proclaim I 1 I" to his friends, "I have money in the A I Bank."
