Rev. Anthony Hearn
Speaks on “Morale”
At Rotary Meeting
The members of the Blakely Ro
tary Club heard an inspiring mes
sage on “Morale” at their weekly
meeting, held last Friday at noon at
the Early Hotel.
The speaker was the Rev. Anthony
Hearn, of Dublin, who is in the city
as guest speaker at a series of re
vival meetings being held at the
Methodist church.
A strong morale on the home front
is essential to a strong morale on
the fighting front, the speaker said.
In building this morale, said the
speaker, “we must have a sense of
humor, good health, have a purpose,
a sense of oneness, a sense of right
ness, integrity and honor, and faith
in self, humanity and cause, and in
God.” Each of these essential points
was stressed in an interesting man
ner and their necessity shown.
Rev. Mr. Hearn was introduced by
the Rev. W. F. Burford, pastor of
the Methodist church. Also a guest
at the meeting was the Rev. S. B.
King.
Friday's meeting was presided
er by Rotarian Robert Stuckey
the absence of President James B.
Murdock, Jr.

SOME POINT VALUES ARE CHANGED IN
IN CANNED AND PROCESSED FOODS
Fruit juices will require fewer of
your blue ration coupons now while
prunes and raisins will take none at
all, the Office of Price Administra
tion disclosed Saturday night in a
rejuggling of the point values of
processed foods.
The point value of dried soups
was slashed 50 per cent, but more
points will be needed for canned
beans, catsup and chili sauce, toma
to paste and sauce, applesauce, fruit
cocktail, peaches and pineapple.
The fruit juice reductions range
up to 60 per cent. These and the
cuts on dried soup were made be
cause the products were not selling
up to expectations, officials said,
ifio -greatest reductions are on 46
ounce cans of juice. This size can
of grapefruit juice, posted for 23
points in March, now takes only 9
points. A 46-ounce can of tomato
or pineapple juice will require 22
points instead of 32.
Apple juice was opened to unre
stricted sale along with raisins,
prunes and other dried fruits. Of
ficials explained the dried fruits are
in danger of spoiling in the coming
warm months, while the country has
a surplus of apples that can be
turned into cans or jugs of apple
juice.
Dried fruits were left on the of
ficial chart, at zero value, as a
reminder that they may be rationed
again when the new crop is packed.
O'PA said no overall in increase
in rations is possible at present.
Among the changes in point val
ues are the following:
New Old

cocktail _______________________ rH 6 14
No. 2% peaches ----------- CM 4 21
No. 2% pineapple -------- CM 8 24

46 oz. tomato juice CM to CM
Pint other vegetable 11
juices _______ 6
2 Vs- oz. dried soups 2 4
The new values went into effect
simultaneously with the inaugura
tion Monday morning of the ration
ing of meat, cheese, canned fish and
edible fats and oils. The new chart
will be used in making purchases on
any unused March or April fruit
and vegetable stamps. These are
the blue A, B and C (March—ex
pire March 31) or D, E and F
(April) stamps in Ration Book No.
2. The basic ration remains at 48
points per month per person.
The meat stamps that became usa
ble Monday are the red A stamps in
the same book. The following week
unused red A’s plus the Red B
stamps will be usable, accumulating
until the first four weeks’ meat
stamps expire together on April 30.
Among the lesser changes in the
new chart are these:
Some large size packages of froz
en foods were increased slightly in
point values, although the cost of
.most popular size packages were
unchanged.
Canned tomato soup was put in a
separate classification without any
change in point values. This means
a possible differential between toma
to and other soups in the future.
Another new classification is for
canned or frozen corn on the cob,
prices at 2 points per ear.
The chart, which was posted Mon
day in all stores, also lists the
things that are not rationed, so as
to lessen confusion on some border
line items. Unrationed list includes
cereals, corn syrup, dates and figs,
mushrooms, gravy mixes, jams and
jellies, milk, pickles, peanut butter,
soft drinks and spices.
Although point values of all juices
were cut, the heaviest cuts were
made on the 46-ounce size, in which
size about two-thirds of the annual
pack is canned. Sales of this size
had been at virtually a standstill, in
spite of former popularity, it was
said.
Dry soups also had been selling
slow. Canned soups started the
month slow, but picked up at the
end of the month and values were
left tentatively unchanged.
MEAT POINT VALUES GIVEN
IN THIS ISSUE OF THE NEWS
An important message on how to
shop under the meat point rationing
system, which became effective Mon
day, together with the point values
of all meats, appears on page 5 of
this issue of The News. This valua
ble contribution to shoppers is made
possible through the courtsey of lo
cal meat dealers, who urge that the
public clip the instructions and point
value chart and use them in their
shopping.

BILLY LANE AWARDED
HONORS AT SOUTHERN
COLLEGE OF PHARMACY
William L. (Billy Lane), who was
graduated in March from the South
ern College of Pharmacy in Atlanta,
received a number of honors at the
time of his graduation.
The coveted Merck award went to
Mr. Lane for maintaining the high
est four-year scholastic average of
any student in his class. He also
has passed successfully the Georgia
and Florida Pharmacy Board exam
inations, making the second highest
average of the whole examination
and making the highest mark, 98,
of any student who took the exami
nation. Since the Florida board is
generally known to be the most
strict of any of the sta^e boards,
this speaks remarkably well for Mr.
Lane in receiving such high marks.
Now he is a registered pharmacist,
qualified to carry on his vocation in
either state, but will be located in
Georgia, where he has accepted a
position here with the Howell Drug
Store.
Mr. Lane is the son and only
