This thing called Valen-
tine's Day is just 'an old
Roman custom we learn
history tens us that a
young Roman preist by the
name of St Valentine was be
headed February 14 270 A
D during the reign of Claud-
ius While he was imprison-I
ed he became friendly with
the jailor's daughter and
wrote her a farewell imessage
before his death signed "From
Your Valentine" and sthis
phrue has been carried thru
through the years There
you have what history tells us
was the beginning of St Val-1
entine's day when blysl
and men send their sweet-
hearts dainty remem
brances all done up in
lace and red hearts with
sweet nothings written on
them and incidentally
dear to every woman's litartl

County Can Save
Steel for 17736
Machine Guns
Tulsa County housewlyee can
aave enough steel for 17738
cachine guns simply by replacing
one can of fruits or vegetables
a week during the year with
fresh or home-packed produce a
leading food distributor estimat-
ed today
"This substitution urged by the
War Production Board will not
only save steel but also conserve
todby using extra supplies of
fresh produce made available by
increased production canning re-
strictions and reduced storage
facilities" according to 'Bart R
French marketing director of A
& P8 produce-buying &fillet the
Atlantic Cormnission Company
' A number two "tin" can aver-
ages 236 pounds of steel plus a
small amount of tin and a single
family can save 122 pounds of
steel in a year by the can-a-week
reduction French said Thus Tul-
a county's 60885 families can
save 820791 pounds of steel
enough to make 17738 thirty-
capre machine guns each re-
quiring 85 pounds of steel for
manufacture he pointed out
"Reduced -buying of canned 84
Produce doesn't mean reducdng t
food consumption Housewives t
can balance their family diets by
serving more fresh produce and: r

ilies are already doing rids In!

Shoes Rationed
To 3 Pair Per
Person Year 1 y
Shoe rationing hit right be-1
tween the eyes Sun lay after-
noon so complete was the
secret kept until its announce-
ment Stocks of shoes were
frozen until Tuesday when
Mr and Mrs America and all
the little Americans -Will only
be entitled to three pairs per
person per year
The order covers all kinds of
leather shoe ti except house slip-
pers and soft-soled infant's shoes
The first ration coupon for
shoes will be No 17 stamp in
War Ration Book No 1 now used
for sugar and coffee That
gamy -will be good for one pair
of shoes until June 15
Another stamp will be desig-
nated later for the next period
of approximately' feur months
Bemuse ni
needs of men women and chil-
dren families will be allowed to
pool their coupons to Suit family
needs Thus a father who 'does
not need three Pairs of new
shoes a year can use sonic of his
coupon A for children who need
more than three pairs a year
Shoe rationing was ordered by
the War Production Board and
will be conducted by the Office
of Price Administration It was
approved Friday by public mem-
bers of the Economic Stabiliza-
tion Board representing labor in-
dustry and farmers
However special shoe purchase
certificates will be available at
local ration boards for hardship
cases and for those who can show
that they need additional shoes
Officials explained that ration-
ing has become necessary becaume
of "the critical shortage of heavy
sole leather" More than one-
third of the country's total sole
leather supply he said already
is being used for military and
lend-lease purposes
In support of the rationing
plan two other actions will be
taken as follows:
1 The War Production Board
will issue "a' thoroughgoing or-
der eliminating wasteful shoe
'practices unneceary styles and
'colors and directing the avail-
able supplies of critical sole
leather into the manuftcture of
the most essential types of shoes"
Under this limitation order
t h e number of colors used
in shoes will be reduced from six
to four namely to black white
town brown and army russet
Gold and silver and all two-tone
shoes will be prohibited
Heel heigths in women's shoes
will be shortened so as not to
exceed two and five-eighths in-
ches in height Leather boots
will be limited to ten inches in
h'eight Leather platforms on
'women's shoes will be cut down
' 2 To protect persons with low
I incomes so that they will be able
to buy needed shoes "Mantlfalkt-
1 Crea will be Prevented from hi-
creasing the production of high-
er priced shoes at the expense of
their low or medium priced lines"
For 1943 the War Production
Board estimates that sole leath-
er and reclaimed rubber will be
available for only 335000000
pairs of civilian footwear includ-
tag slippers and ' Infants!' soft-
soled shoes which are not ra-
tioned This compares with about
440000000 for 1942
