$4000 Bonds Bought At
Band’s March Concert
Seminole, Gaines Co., Texas, Friday, March, 26, 1943
How About YOUR Victory Garden?
Over $4,000 worth of bonds
and stamps were bought by pa-
trons of the high school band
wher. they attended the band's
filth. Victory concert. The con-
cert climaxed an all-day band
clinic hold by D. W. Crain, di-
rector of the Abilene Christian
College band
An average of $2800 in bonds
and stamps has been bought at
the victory concerts and Dale
McCook, director of the band,
expressed his sincere appercia-
tion to the people ol Seminole
for the hearty support that they
have given the victory concerts
since the main purpose of the
concerts is to promote the sale
of bonds and stamps
L G. Daugherty, county chair-
man of the sale of bonds, auc-
tioned off six $25 bonds before
he announced the amount of the
nights purchase. The bonds were
bought quickly and Mr. Daugh-
erty complimented the- bond pa-
trons on their responsiveness to
the patriotic business of buying
bonds.
Near the close erf the concert
Duector Crain made his criticism
of the hand giving it a 1- rat-
ing which is a very high one.
A 1 rating is the highest that
u band can receive. He compli-
mented the band, saying that
for its experience it separated
tones nicely. The only adverse
criticism that he gave the band
was that it was weak in sight
reading. Crain stated that the
band was as orderly and at-
tentative a group as he ever held
a clinic for. Thursday’s clinic
lasted 7% hours.
At the band’s next concert
the back rows will be on risers
which will make the entire per-
sonnel of the bond visible to
the audience.

The Golden Rules of Food Rationing
1 Sham your food with the fighters protecting
yout nome.
2. Accept rationing cheerfully — help make it
work.
3. Learn to use your ration book right. Use the
8 and 5 point stamps in settlement when pos-
sible. reserving the 1 and 2 point stamps for
low-point articles. Your storekeeper cannot
give you "change” in stamps.
4. Use your point stumps wisely—don’t run short
of stamps by buying "high point” foods where
low point foods will do. Buy only what you
need.
f>. Plan your family diet carefully—plan menus
ahead for a week or :i month—see that every-
one gets enough nourishment.
G. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables instead of can-
ned, bottled and frozen. Use the more plentiful
non-rationed foods whenever you can.
7. Lighten congestion in the stores—shorten the
waiting line at the cash register, by shopping
early in the day and early in the week.
8. Don’t complain if your favorite food is all
gone. Select your next choice and enjoy it.
This is war.
10. Do all the home canning possible, according to
your family’s needs.
11. Don’t let your food ration stamps expire.
