Congressman David J. Ward endorses proposals from American sweet potato growers meeting in Washington on December 18. They urge that remaining 1943 crop not face ceilings and favor freezing prices if further rises are needed, with plans to study 1944 ceilings and announce by February 1, 1924.
Wartime notices warn that gas, sugar, fuel oil and processed foods ration coupons remain valid on various dates through January and February 1944. Messages urge farmers to order fertilizer now to prevent spring shortages, remind of correct shoe stamps, announce more ice refrigerator quotas, and state that cluster raisins are no longer rationed. Also notes next of kin procedures for prisoners of war and warnings about unreliable enemy broadcasts.
A wartime appeal urges readers to buy War Bonds as safer investments and crucial support for American troops overseas. It stresses that $3 invested yields $4 after ten years, bonds are government obligations, nonfluctuating in value, and can name a beneficiary. It links purchases to funding gear, bridgeheads, and aerial support for Allied forces preparing a sea landing.
