CONSERVATION Finally Passes

The great game of political football at last has been
finished and, it knew it would eventually have to do

After voting billions for defense weapons Congressman
still baked at the necessity Of providing soldiers and
sailors to man our new weapons when we get them.
There were many reasons for this seeming paradox,
all revolving, of course, about the fact that the bill

unwise to arouse the wrath of one voter though
they pleased five others while doing And there
many angry voices raised against conscrpon Several
sops thrown to Objectors among them raising the
pay of the draftees from the old Army minimum, limit

Hemisphere and giving the President the authority to
draft industry in a crisis-a power he already had.

This that all men Fl 35 years old and between
those must register the date set by the Pres

men will have to register. However, the law limits the
number of men to be trained at time to 100000

The young selected for training will receive the
Army minimum pay of S21 month, but only for the
first four months. Thereafter they will receive $50
every 80 days. Training will last IL consecutive
months after which each draftee will automatically
become member of some reserve unit for period Of
10 years until he becomes as years old, whichever

will have to again at any time when the Reserves
are called.
Two prime safeguards of civilian rights have been
granted in the law. First, the draftees will be

Baked Eggs Make
A Great Impression

Baking an egg is an art not
undertaken by many without
directions. If said egg is baked
too long or without the proper
accompaniments it's an awful
affair. Yet, there is nothing that
makes a more impressive or TASTY
dish if done just so. Here is a
good recipe to try:
EGGS PURGATORY
5 eggs
4 tomatoes, peeled and chopped
l green pepper
N Glove garlic
medium sized onion
tablespoon butter
n teaspoon thyme
l pod red pepper
l branch parsley
Parmesan cheese
Salt
Chop the onion, red and green
pepper, and garlic very fine and
put in pan with the butter. Cook
until the onion barely begins to
color; add tomatoes and salt and
let simmer for Is minutes. Pour
into shallow earthenware bak-
ing dish. Break the eggs into the
sauce, taking care that there is a
little space between them. Sprin-
kle with about q teaspoon of
grated Parmesan cheese over each
egg and send to a hot oven until
whites of eggs have set firm.
