I. O. O. F and Rebekah Associa-

Avoid Food Shortage,
Buy Fresh Peaches
Food shortages now and later
can be off-set particularly by
housewives who buy generous sup-
plies of fresh peaches crowding
local markets and preserving some
for future months, E. C. Munro,
acting district representative, CCC
office of supply, announced.
In addition to preserving sup-
plies for later tise, peaches served
often in fresh form will help add
variety to wartime meals, he said.
Harvest of 26,000,000 bushels of
peaches is already underway and
according to present estimates
will be in generous supply for sev-
eral weeks. After the current
crop moves to market, however,
' local housewives will not have ac-
cess to generous supplies again
this year. For that reason, all-out
preservation of peaches now while
the supply is good should rank
high with all meal planners, M^m-
ro said.
Have you stopped to realize that
one Superfortress (B-29) needs
8.000 gallons of high-octane gaso-
line (one railroad tank car full) to
fill its tanks. Did you know that
1.000 Flying Fortresses (B-17) use
2.500.000 gallons of gasoline on a
six-hour mission?
