The cheapest forms of papier, such as newsprint, can be reclaimed and made into boxes and other articles. when vou do your shopping, get along with a minimum of wrap ping. The National Association of Food Chains offers consumers five good suggestions when it says: 1. Don’t ask for a bag when an item is already packaged. 2. Don’t ask for separate bags unless nec essary—or any bag at all if you have only a few items to carry. .3. Take groceries in cartons when available—then use the cartons as receptacles in which to save waste paper at home. 5. Remember to save on all kinds of papier. Don’t think the stores you patronize are being stingy when they stop using paper, string, tape and other wrappings in the waste- fuHy lavish form we’ve become used to. When they cut down on pape:' use, they are cooperating with the government. This is just one more of the many ways retailing in all its branches, chain store and independent store alike, is serving the country now. Every family can help in the cc"•serve paper drive. Save all- you can and turn it in when you reach a substantial poundage. The Army and.

She knows that if there is a shortage of canned goods and she buys enough to last a year, there will be many others who will have to go without.

The profiteer in industry, the hoarder in the home, as well as the do-r^ J hing group which con fines its nterest to watching the war from the sidelines, must be made to realize that this gigantic struggle demands the unselfish co-operation of every citizen. We must stop worrying about what is going to happen to our petty comforts and our little lux uries. We must realize that these things are not worth a tinker’s dam compared with our battle for the survival of our whole way of living. I keep harping on hoarding be cause it is the most apparent cur rent example of our unwillingness to forget unimportant personal interests.

All German, Italian and Jap anese nationals residing elsewhere in continental United States are required to file applications at the nearest first or second class, or county seat, post office between February 9 and February 28, 1942, inclusive. Failure to comply with the new regulations may be punished by severe penalties, including possi ble internment of the enemy alien for the duration of the war. The regulations require enemy aliens, in applying for identifica tion certificates, to provide a pho tograph of themselves (to be at tached to the identity card) and to answer a number of questions concerning their current activities. Printed directions for the filing of applications will shortly be avail able at post offices. The regulations provide that after a careful check has been made of each aoplication, the applicant will be provided with a Certificate of Indentification bearing his photograph, index fingerprint and signature.

In announcing the new regula tions, the Attorney General said: “The objective of the Depart ment of Justice in issuing identi fication certificates to aliens of enemy nationalities is the dual one of strengthening our internal safety and protecting the loyal aliens, even if he has become technically an alien enemy. The plan for issuing these certificates was worked out after consultation with Lieutenant General J. L. DeWitt, Commander of the Ninth Corps Area. “I want to make it clear that in no sense will our issuance of identification certificates be a- re registration of a portion of the aJien population. We are entirely satisfied with the results of the 1940 national registration of aliens, and this new procedure will not duplicate it. We deem it essential, however, for the protection of loyal alien enemies as well as for our own, national safety, to obtain sunnlementary information of all German, Italian and Japanese non-citizens and provide them with identification, certificates bearing their photographs.” Spartanburg, Jan. 19.—South Carolina farmers can, achieve the Food for Freedom goals without impairing their production plant the soil of their farms, is the ,, . , ^ . .opinion expressed by Ernest the taxpayer need only ascertain Carnes state coordinator ol the in which block his gross income SolI conservation Service and (less allowance for dependents) member of the CaroUna falls to determine his tax.
