All the boys and girls of our school will find work at home, at school, in our Scout troops, 4-H Club, through our church or some community organization.

We should save money regularly and buy war stamps. We should be careful not to waste anything; take care of our clothes, toys, books, bicycles, all the things we use at home or in school, so that they will last as long as possible.

Dairy Products Are Important Milk for shipment under Lend lease in the form of evaporated milk, dried milk, and cheese is one of the most important items in our Food for Freedom pro gram. Mort than 577 million pounds of evaporated milk, 37 1-2 million pounds of dry skim milk, and 164 million pounds of cheese were shipped to other United Nations by the U. S. between April 29, 1941 and April 1, 1942. Ample supplies of milk and milk products are of course also need ed for feeding our own Army, Navy and civilian workers. As our ex piditionary forces become broader our need for evaporated and dried milk rather than milk in fluid form will become greater. Casein derived from skim milk is of increasing importance be cause of the war effort. Casein glues for use in the plywood in dustries are needed to substitute for animal glue now largely re quired for the aircraft and naval building programs. Casein paint is increasing in importance as a sub stitute for paints made with vege table oils. Protein plastics made with cas ein and used in the manufacture of buttons and other small articles are becoming more important as the war advances. Fiber made from casein is being manufactured and made into fabrics.
