CIVILIAN CANNED FRUIT AND VEGETABLES REDUCED IN 1944 Lafayette, Mar. 23 —There will be 43 per cent less canned fruits and 19 per cent less canned vegetables available for civilian use in 1944, even if the total pack should equal the average of 1942 and 1943, both banner years. Included are 12 types of fruit and 14 types of vegetables. This announcement was made at the Food Processors’ Conference held in Chicago earlier this month. Orders already signed provide that civilians will get 17,000,000 cases of canned fruits, as against 30,000,000 last year, and 104,000,000 cases of canned vegetables, as against 128,000,000 last year. Victory gardeners who do not already have a year’s supply of canned food will do well to prepare against a potential serious shortage on grocers’ shelves next year, advises Dr. Laurenz Greene, head of the horticulture department at Purdue University. On the basis of the above allotments, there will be only about three cans of commercially canned fruit and 18 of vegetables for I each civilian next year. That is l one can of fruit every three months, and 1% cans of vegetables per month, per person. Government officials point out that any reduction in victory gar-j den production will raise point; values on all commercially pack- j ed fruits and vegetables, making them more difficult than ever to obtain. While time is short, says Dr. Greene, it still is possible to plan the garden, obtain seed and other supplies, and arrange for a garden plot Victory gardens were, important last year. This year: they are stiff more important' and will make a real contribu- 1 tion toward the war effort. Figures show many FUFILS DROP OUT OF SCHOOL BELOW BTH GRADE “A total at- 12,595 pupils now between the ages of 14 and 18 years who formerly were enrolled in the schools of Indiana, have dropped out before completing the eighth grade,” Dr. Clement T.

Tiles figures broken down into age and sex grouns of “drop outs”, show that 1.197 boys and 716 girls between the ags of 16 and 18, quit school before com-e Dieting the eighth grade: 1, 966 boys and 1,333 girls, aged 15 i years; and 4,211 boys and 3,172 I girls, aged 14 years.
