TELLS OF PHILIPPINES 



In Moultrie County the Home Bu- 

 reau members had an opportunity to 

 learn first hand "Life in the Philip- 

 pines." 



Mrs. Atienza of Manila was a guest 

 at a county membership training meet- 

 ing. Mrs. Atienza is a graduate stu- 

 dent in home economics at the Uni- 

 versity of Illinois. She is anxious to 

 learn all she can about the home eco- 

 nomics extension program in the hope 

 that she can help organize a similar 

 organization in the Philippines when 

 she returns. 



Mrs. Atienza told of some of the 

 harrowing experiences she and her 

 husband, who is a doctor, had during 

 the raids on Manila. At present Mr. 

 Atienza is studying at Harvard. 



According to Mrs. Atienza the 

 Philippine women have a deep ad- 

 miration for the American homemaker 

 and look up to her as a standard for 

 fashion, homemaking, and leadership.

QUAKERS ASK HELP FOR 

 HUNGRY IN EUROPE 



In the hungriest parts of Europe, the 

 Quakers are feeding children a new 

 and doubly nutritious cereal. This 

 cereal is being made by an American 

 processor at cost. It contains 20 per 

 cent hard winter wheat, 10 per cent 

 soybeans and 70 per cent rolled oats. 

 It looks very much like rolled oats, but 

 it contains twice as much protein and 

 other food values. It is easily cooked 

 and appetizing to eat. 



Farmers over the country are get- 

 ting together with their neighbors and 

 making grain collection a cooperative 

 project in their church or community 

 so that the Quakers may have grains 

 with which to make the relief cereal. 



Others are making out checks to the 

 American Friends Service Committee, 

 and mailing them to the "Gifts-in kind 

 Relief Office at 20 South 12th Street, 

 Philadelphia, Pa." 



A temporary branch office of the 

 American Friends Service Committee 

 is located at Quaker Hill, Richmond, 

 Ind. Those interested in learning more 

 about this relief project may write to 

 either the Indiana or Philadelphia of- 

 fices.

BUY SAVINGS BONDS 



The United States Savings Bond, 

 with its guaranteed values, when held 

 to maturity, pays a better return than 

 any similar security anywhere, and the 

 full faith and credit of the United 

 States Government stands back of this 

 Bond. 



There is no stronger security any- 

 where in the world today. 



During World War II, farm people 

 put over 5 billion dollars into War 

 Bonds. 



The U. S. Treasury Department rec- 

 ommends that for a sound financial 

 program, farmers should avoid specula- 

 tion in land, keep debts at a safe level, 

 hold War Bonds as long as possible 

 and continue to build financial reserves 

 in U. S. Savings Bonds.
