‘AIR POWER IN

LEADING ROLE'

Pacific Naval Chief Says

Strategy Now Built on U. S. Planes.

chief of Netherlands East Indies forces, as saying: (“I am convinced today that the airplane is by far the most important war weapon. Before the

war I did not believe the airplane

could be so potent, but experience | has proved I was wrong.” | Admiral Nimitz admitted that because of Japan's initial air superiority in the Pacific there had been a heavy strain on U. S. navy aircraft) carrier personnel, and that theiq| losses had been heavy. “Although we feel keenly the loss of many fine officers and men,” he said, “we take pride in knowing | that they have given their lives toj turn back grave threats to ow] couniry., We can take satisfaction | in the knowledge that in every meeting with the enemy since Dec. 7 his losses have greatly exceeded |

ours. i

Nine Officers Honored

“It will soon be possible to or-!| ganize additional carrier groups and rotate them through the carriers in order that there may be periods of relief for our hard-pressed veterans. Until that time I ask that] each and every one of these veterans continue with unswerving perseverance and devotion and hold the line until the reinforcemen:s are ready to take over.” He promised that due awards would be given men in the Midway action, and then presented navy crosses to three submarine commanders and distinguished flying | crosses to six aviators who took part in the attack on the Marshall and Gilbert islands. The officers honored are: Lieut. Comm. Frank W. Fenno, Wesiminster, Mass.; Lieut. Comm. Wiilis A. Lent, West Roxbury, Mass.; Lieut. Comm. John IL. De Tar, Lincoln, Meb.; Lieut. Comm, William O. Burch, Paducah, Ky.; Lieut. James S. Gray, Wauwatosa, Wis.; Lieut. Eibert S. “Go Gettem” McCusker, Stuttgart, Ark.; Lieut. Edwin J. Kroeger, Akron, O.; Lieut. Wilmer E. Rawie, Chicago, and Lieut. John P. Adams, Hiawatha, Kas.

“Waste”

¥ you're willing fo fake 3%: minutes fo read what we have fo say about “waste,” we believe you'll be willing to volunteer for duty in the War on Waste... help to conserve the supply of coffee available for the “home front” and the “battle front.”

~ normal times the individual waste of a cup of coffee did not seem so important. It was so much less, proportionately, than the daily waste of other foods. But things are different now. Consider this—

According to latest figures, over 32 million families in the United States serve coffee at some time every dav—a big percentage more than once a day. Now if only half of these families “pour out” just ene cup of coffee a day, that’s 16 million cups—nearly 400,000 pounds of coffee— DOWN THE SINK... WASTED... every day!

Of course there is plenty of coffee in the world today— green coffee. And there is plenty of green coffee in the United States today —for right now.

But coffee is not grown

blended and roasted here. Coffee has to be imported —mostly from South and Central America. That takes ships. And the importance of ships in winning a war across two oceans means that not many can be spared for transportation of coffee.

So far, there is no rationing of coffee. That may have to come—but perhaps it need not be if you're

willing to help.

The various Departments and Agencies of our Federal Government are taking every step which. in

the light of progressing

tective and proper to guarantee continued and adequate supply for every person in our country. With 140 million people to serve, they have a big job to

administer.

And today; every coffee importer, every coffee roaster, and every groceryman is working hand in hand with the War Production Board in a program

of Coffee Conservation.

for civilian use, but only to a point that represents Kttle sacrifice for the average person if everyone will do his and her part in avoiding waste.

Here's how you can help:

You needn't deprive yourself of the coffee that you are accustomed to drink daily,

Maintain Intense Barrage

is a fighting word today Applies to Business “The same reasoning applies to the many businesses which are built on servicing automobiles. If great numbers of automobiles are withedrawn from service within a comparatively short period of time, the demand for garages, service stations and other operations concerned with servicing will disappear. “In the plan which is now being considered, adequate provision will be made for all essential driving, supplementary allotments, over and above the basic ration, to cover necessary motoring, will be granted by local war price and rationing boards. “Each application will be con-| sidered on its individual merit, and | it is believed that the local boards will be well aware of local conditions which might affect variations in ‘individual requirements. “We realize that any rationing program entails inconvenience and sacrifice. All of these programs must be considered in the light of the present world conflict, however. We must consider the gasoline rationing program a plan for trading today’s many travel conveniences to provide essential transportation tomorrow.”

DRUGGISTS' ELECTION CLOSES CONVENTION

The newly elected officers of the Indiana Pharmaceutical association, whose convention closed yesterday, are Stephen Badanish, president, Gary; Leland Harrison, first vice president, Terre Haute; Wilfred Ullrich, second vice president; Au-| rora; Edward Wolfgang, third vice! president, Evansville; Harold Dar- | nell, secretary, Indianapolis, and| Dean Miller, chairman of the executive committee, South Bend. In the key address yesterday, Dean B. V. Christensen, president of the American Pharmaceutical association, told members that the country’s armed forces have immediate need for 8000 trained pharmacists. Resolutions adopted urged shorter operating hours for drug stores and requested that druggists be granted sufficient sugar to meet the requirements of the active pharmacist.

You needn't forego an occasional extra cup when the strain of wartime business or civilian effort calls for a lift to your morale.

You needn't try to satisfy yourself with a cup of weak coffee when you are used to, and prefer, full

body and fine flavor.

BUT you should make every effort not to waste coffee when you make it. Measure both coffee and water carefully. We recommend a heaping tablespoon to the cup. A more accurate measure—and less wasteful—is two level measuring tablespoons to the cup. Many people prefer more or less—but that is the amount we have always said it takes to make really good coffee. And we still say that one cup of good coffee is more satisfying than two cups that only go “part way.” You should make just the amount you need for ‘every meal—or any occasion. Remember what a wasted-cup-a-day per family means.

in this country—it’s only

You should be conscientious, in buying coffee from your grocer, not to acquire larger reserve supplies than is your normal custom. A *“‘run on coffee’ would be the surest way of bringing about an “apparent shortage” that would call for further regulations. As roasters and packers of fine coffee during the past 64 years, we ioo have our wartime duties to per. form in order that the American tradition of coffee drinking may be kept secure. It is our aim, first of all; to maintain customary standards of quality throughout these critical times. We will meet with courage the necessity of packs aging changes as often and as rapidly as the rising need for war materials may oblige us to face such problems. Within the letter and spirit of every wartime regulation, we will supply our customers on an equitable basis so that Hills Bros. Coffee will continue to be available in every store where people wish to buy it.

In all these things we guarantee to do our best. We dare not promise more.
