Conserve Energy — Increase

To help Uncle Sam win the victory — you must
be soldiers on the home front. During vacation
you can build up health, increase stamina and
earn money by arranging to help harvest vege-
table and fruit crops; for farm helpers are ur-
gently needed. Luscious vitamin-rich berries
and other fruits will be expensive to buy, hard
to get, and possibly wasted, if students do not
lend a hand in taking the place of men called
to the colors. There are other ways, too, in which
you may help:

(1) Learn to make home repairs.

(2) Learn as many skills as you can in as short
a time as you can.

(3) Plant a vegetable garden of your own.

(4) Learn how to be an acute observer; how to
recognize types of planes by sight and sound.
(5) Sell defense stamps; save up your pennies
and buy them.

(6) Do chores and run errands to enable others
to do more important work.

Efficiency With Good Posture

(7) Use sparingly the materials your country
needs in its defense; collect Scrap material.

(8) Learn efficiency in budgeting your time —
ten minutes wasted here and fifteen there, daily,
means several wasted hours in a week. Test this
by timing idle minutes.

(9) Protect the ideals of your country and its
form of government against slander. Prevent the
spread of false rumors. Don’t repeat what you
hear — at home, where you work, or on the
street, regarding war or defense activities.
(10) Cooperate with your local defense agencies
such as Red Cross, Scouts, Civilian Defense
and others.

(11) Sustain the morale of others. If an air
raid should sound, be alert — and calm.

(12) Make a habit of good posture so as to be
more alert, more efficient, more energetic.
