For Men in Uniform

A CAMPAIGN is being conducted throughout the
- United States raise fund of $40 1000 through
voluntary contributions support recreauona activities
for men in uniform.
President Roosevelt has said with regard to this pro-
gram that there enterprise more vital TO the we'll
being of millions of young people who are rang TO ther
countrys call
That is well within the realities of the situation as
all will agree who recall the Importance OF such activities
during the first World War.
This time. the American government is not leaving
recreatonal matters to wellmcanng but haphazard nd
vdual organizations with the inevitable confusion and
duplication of effort characteristic Of such enterprise IN
the last emergency.
THROUGH the Federal Security Administration, it has
set UP single cooperative agency called the United
Service Organizations for National Defense which will
operate service clubs centers III connection with all
camps, environments, bases and defense projects
This comprehensive agency will merge and utilize the
facilities, resources and personnel OF SIX great american
groups which best equipped by experience ana purpose
to provide "of-duty entertainment and relaxation Tor
the uniformed services.
These six groups are: The Young Mems Christian
Association the National Catholic Community Service the
Salvation Army the Young Womens Christian Assoca-
ton the Jewish Welfare Board and the National Travellers
Aid Association
All of these organizations performed prodgious serv-
Ices for modified men in the first World War
All of them did the very most that could be expected
Of them under the conditions prevailing and the universal
affection which they have been held ever since aess
the high manner in which their work was done
But all Of them recognize that a single directing
agency which the federal government has now established
will make it possible to avoid the mistakes and short
comings of the previous effort
THE United Service Organizations program certain to
become a phase Of the national defense effort most
intimately linked to the American people as whole
It will be the means by which the boys in uniform
and the defense workers will maintain their relationships
with normal community and home life.
It viii also be the by which the great bulk of
the people regardless of age other considerations and
conditions will be able to contribute substantially and
Importantly to the cause of national defense
The welfare and morale of young called into the
service Of their country President Roosevelt has
said among the most vital considerations of the nation.
The country should be glad to know the government
is undertaking this phase of the defense program with
such vision and wisdom 1t should give unstnng support
TO the United Service Organizations both financially and
through the fullest possible personal participation.

Runyon Thinks Congress
Ought to Raise Army Pay
BY DAMON RUNYON

OF COURSE YOU know very
" we'll that the pay Of the en-

think Congress ought to give 1t
a good boost forthwith.

increase through the non-com
grades and that is no kind Of
dough to be paying the fellows
who are compelled TO make the
economic and physical sacrifices
required of the soldiers.
1t is true that it is S21 per
month and found, as the say

We do not know Just how

offhand we would say that 81

if it is argued that this would
produce a prodigious payroll, we
reply that they could meet IT
with the money that is being
loosely tossed about in other
channels.
If they had saved the excess
over and above the estimated
cost of some of the camps they
would have enough 10 meet the
pay roll for quite a spell.
1t is said that one southern

mated cost, and it is not entirely

not find places for them on their

However, we feel it is only
fair TO state that amnesia was

WE THINK the strength OF

pay would be in cutting down

Many a young fellow would

Would Aid Nature Lovers

National recreation leaders who
have been busy organizing games
In city parks for peoples leisure
time are placing more emphasis this
year on appreciation Of natural
beauty in the out-of-doors, v. K.
Brown, president Of the Midwest In
stitute Of Park Executives, told q
conference on nature recreation and
education recently.
1t appears that the new leisure
time has sent people to parks to ask
officials to map out more softbal1
diamonds, more cricket fields, more
tennis courts. The whole movement
of organizing people into teams and
tournaments for various kinds of or
ganized play has gathered such mo-
mentum, recreation leaders point
out, that some of the good old-fash-
toned enjoyment Of the out-of-doors
has been pushed to the background.
As some Of the speakers ex-
pressed it at the conference, the ex-
tension Of playfelds in some cases
has shut out the man who just wants
to be quiet and observe the trees,
flowers, birds, squirrels, and take
In q little sunshine. Extended
beaches, for instance, have cut of
the view Of the people who just want
to leisurely sit and watch the waves
roll in.

Crandma's Menu, Too,
Had Plenty of Vitamins

Grandmothers were good cooks
and turned out meals with plenty of
unsupported vitamins when their
store Of foods permitted wide choice,
but modern cooks In streamlined
kitchens must be good cooks and
also food engineers who can provide
vitamins, calories, and minerals,
without stuffing their families, say
nutrition specialists at Ohio State
university.
Cooks of the old school probably
never heard of calories, but they
knew folks who had plenty Of diff
ferent things to eat could live, work,
and keep warm. Energy for these
purposes came from the carbohy-
drates, fats and proteins, and grand
mother learned quickly that the
cooks who used plenty Of butter,
cream and eggs had the most
guests.
Now, the minerals, calcium, phos-
phorus and iron are given attention
by modern cooks because they are
likely to be low In the average diet,
Calcium and phosphorus form q

decades ago. Today, eight have been

D and G are the best known. Guam.
titles Of vitamins and minerals were
thrown away with the liquid from
cooked vegetables until nutrhionists
showed homemakers the importance
Of cooking foods to conserve these
health-giving nutrients.
Nutrition specialists point out that
scientists have discovered how Ger.
tain foods in the diet can prevent
or cure pellagra, ricketts,, nutritional
anemia and other body disorders
These findings have been great
boon to society.
A five-point diet worked out by
the university specialists will fur.

person. It consists of the daily use
Of milk, tomatoes or citrus fruit, pc

Origin of Swing Low

OF the origin Of the spiritual,
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" the
Negro Year Book says: "A mother
and her babe had been sold from q
Tennessee plantation to 20 down
into Mississippi, which was, to her,
going to her death. To prevent the
separation from her child, she was
about to throw herself and babe into
the Cumberland river. An old wom-
an, seeing the mothers intentions,
laid her hand upon the shoulder Of
the distressed mother and said,
Wait, let de chariot of de Lord
swing low and let me take de Lords
scroll and read it to you The moth
er was so impressed with the words
Of the old slave woman that she
gave Up her design and allowed her
self to be sold into Mississippi, leav-
ing her baby behind. The song,
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot by de-
grees grew up, as this incident
passed from mouth to mouth"

THE CORN SUPPLY SITUATION

Looking at the situation of the
United States as a whole, the total
supply of corn for the 1941-42 mar
keting year probably will exceed the
corn marketing quota level by a
considerable amount unless the 1871
corn crop Is materially less than
1910 production, according to r. o.
Stelzer, executive officer of the AAA
in Maryland.
The total supply for 194O-41, Mr..
Stelzer says, was 3,144,000,000
bushels, the total disappearance was
364,OO0,OOO bushels, and the carry
over 78O,OO0,00O. Production In
1941 was 2,450,O00,OOO which to-
gether with the carry-over makes
a total supply for 1941-42 Of $780,
100000 bushels. The normal years
consumption and exports are esti-
mated at 2,581,O0O,00O bushels, and
the marketing quota level is placed
at 3,O38,0OO,O00 bushels.
II marketing quotas are adopted,
Mr.. Stelzer states, farmers who
plant within their acreage allotments
will not be subject to marketing
quota penalties because they will
comply automatically with their corn
marketing quotas. Farmers who ex-
coed their allotments would be re-
quired to store their excess produce
ton, or to pay a penalty on it. Corn
marktting quotas, he states would
provide assurance of satisfactory
corn prices. Livestock producers
would hive assurance that low corn
prices were not going to force large
numbers of grain farmers and gener-
al farmers into commercial livestock
and dairy production.
In csc of an unfavorable vote on
corn marketing quotas, Mr.. Stelzer
believes that unrestricted market
ing of corn would result in a decline
of corn prices amounting to some
20 to 80 cents below the level which
would be maintainem II corn loans
and marketing quotas were in effect.
He believes also that low corn pric-
es would cause cash grain producers
to shift into commercial livestock
and dairy production.

Soldiers Seek Tattoo

According to Montreal's famous

navy and air force leading the pro-
cession through those narrow and
gaudily decorated front doors. They
want tattoo marks as identifications.

there amt the appreciation of art
there used to be. / remember when
a man could put in a couple Of days

that was something to be proud Of,
but now it's just initials and num-
bers. Military numbers, girls, phone
numbers, family initials, girls mi
tials. I'm telling yah, I'm gettin'

"Tain't only the men that's get

"Of course" he added, "this idea
isn't so good. Suppose a girl wants
to change boy friends. Zingol
there's trouble. I've blotted out
more initials by changing them into

I've done in the last Is years. But
