Lester J. Norris, chairman ol the Victory Gardens committee, Illinois State Council of Defense, said that last year large quantities of strawberries and other early ripening fruits were lost because sugar allotments were not made until late. The movi to obtain ample sugar for use in home canning in Illinois .was initiated by Norris last month when he urged Prentiss M. Brown, price administrator, to allow fifteen pounds of sugar for each member of the family, with no forfeiture of any ration points, for home canning and preserving this year. He said it was of vital importance to save all the food possible and prevent waste through home preservation. Brown's office announced last week that arrangements have been made for a special shipment of 200,000 tons of sugar from Cuba to provide additional supplies for home canning throughout the nation.

ELMER JENSEN. Colonel Paul G. Armstrong, Illinois Selective Service director, again urged all local boards to present the conditions of Governor Dwight H, Green's Rehabilitation Program to fttctti rejected from military service by reason of some correctible physical defect. "In a memorandum recently issued by State headquarters," said Colonel Armstrong, "a complete explanation of the benefits of the Governor's.^program is outlined. There is now no reason for any man who has a physical disability which can be corrected by operation not serving his country this time of war because under this program, if he is without funds, he can obtain such operation at State institutions and private agencies which are co-operating with this constructive rehabilitation plan." The Governor's Rehabilitation Program proposes to rehabilitate men for military service as yell as for war industries. Any registrant who has been rejected by the armed forces because of a defect correctible by surgery, but who has insufficient funds to have such operation performed, is eligible to make application for this service, through his local board office. All hospital expenses and physician's services will be free to the registrant, but transportation to and from the hospital must be paid by'the individual. Hundreds of men already in the armed forces by virtue of this program are daily expressing their gratitude by letter to the Governor and the state selective headquarters.

The drive is serving as a feature of the society's annual observance of Mother's Day. It opened March 1 and closes when camps observe Mother's Day, which occurs Sunday, May 9. Royal Neighbors camps usually pay tribute to mothers any time during May. • . The society's executive council is directing the appeal and issued the following statement: "Mothers of our country are the unsung heroines of this global r%ar. Many are their sacrifices on the battlefields, where their loved ones are serving and dying. Many are their sacrifices on the home and production fronts, where they are giving unstintingly of their time, energy and money. What greater tribute can be paid to mothers than to buy war bonds and stamps in their honor as a Mother's Day gift?" 4- The slogan of the campaign is: "For Victory--Buy Her A War Bond For Mother's Day." An emblem, including this slogan, is being widely distributed in promoting the campaign and camps have been urged to boost the sale of war bonds and stamps at patriotic meetings, programs and benefits. Royal Neighbors camps and members have and are generously investing in war bonds and stamps and it is hoped the Mother's Day campaign will increase their purchases. Funds of the society also are being invested in government securities. In the last eighteen months the society has bought $2,000,000 worth of war bonds, registered treasury bonds and victory bonds.
