Little Water

Try TO follow recipes which
allow for cooking whole and
without peeling. When water is
used, il should be the smallest
quantity possible. and t n e y
should be cooked quickly in a
covered utensil.
The liquid should be served
with the vegetable or used in
soups and broths. Water left
clinging 10 green leafy vege-
tables after the final rinse is
sufficient for cooking.
When you prepare meat for
cooking. wipe il carefully with a
damp cloth. Never wash the
meat of.
Soda hastens the vitamin and
mineral destruction and should
not be a d d g d to any vege-
table. Aids, such as vinegar and
lemon Juice. help TO conserve the
Vitamins.
Since Nitamins are greatly
affected by oxidation, you should
not stir air into food while cook
ing or put food through a sieve
while il is still hot.

CAMPS FOR CONSCIENTIOUS
DIRECTORS BEING SET UP
Church OF The Brethren Pastor
Gives Information About Some
That Are Being Planned

A plan of work of national impor-
lance for conscientious directors, who
are judged sincere by local draft
boards, was approved last month by
President Roosevelt, and camps for
this purpose are being set up through
out the country.
Rev. Foster NJ Bittinger, pastor of
the White Dale Church of the Breth-
rem, and executive secretary for West
Virginia, has released some informa-
ton about these camps.
The work is to be coordinated thru
the National Service Board for Re
ligious Directors, National Press
Building, Washington, D. C.
Dr. NJ. R. Zigler, Elgin, ILL.,, Church
of the Brethren, is chairman. The
board officially represents the Men
monte Central Peace Committee, the
Fellowship Of Reconola on, the Al
erican Friends Servic~ COMMITTEES
the Brethren Service Committee. The
Methodist World Peace Committee
recently voted to affiliate with the
National Service Board.
Rev. Bittinger stated that under
the approved plan the four groups
have agreed to finance within the
limits of their ability "work of ma
tional Importance" in conjunction with
various governmental agencies, such
as Soil Conservation service, the For
estry service and the Land Reclama-
ton service.
Camps are being established by the
Friends Service Committee in the Pa
tapsco State Forest, near Baltimore;
by the Brethren Committee in the
Manistoe State Forest in Northern
Michigan, and the Mennonite Commit
tee will establish a soil conservation
unit in Rockingham county, Va. Other
units are planned for Southern Cali
fornia, the Pacific Northwest, some
in the midwest and one in Florida.
Rev. Bittinger stated "this coopera-
tive program, while meeting the spirit
and letter of the Selective Service
Act, provides man power for impor-
tant public work, especially for refor-
estation and soil conservation. Mem
bers of the local Church of the Breth-
rem are glad to assist in this enlarged
program of their brotherhood in in
terest of the nation and young men
called under the act"

FREE SPEECH FOR DRAFTEE5 NOT ALLOWED
SeIetfees Stopped from Opposing Service Ex-
 tension Bill

WASHINGTON, July 31.-Sena- tor Arthur H. Vandenberg of Michi- gan, vigorous opponent of the ex- tension of service for selectees and Guardsmen, today demanded that the Senate and the War Department withdraw statements of Army of- ficers which say that the majority of citizen soldiers favor legislation extending indefinitely the length of service in the Army.
 Breaking into the second day of debate on service extension legisla- tion the Senator asserted that his understanding was that the War Department has forbidden selectees to express their opposition to the legislation.
 Vandenberg said, Tt seems to me if the War Department is going to decline to let draftees and Guards men say they oppose the act, they ought to withdraw from the record, statements of Army officers saying 80 or 90 per cent of the men favor additional service
