Oysters For
Healthful
Winter Meals

Oyster lovers throughout the land
have reason to rejoice despite the
wintry blasts of the early months
of each year. For then the BIZ
valve treasured through the ages by
epic,lres reaches the heights in
taste returns, the Fishery Council
reports.
Besides yielding added palate
pleasure, the oyster has a definite
health contribution to make in the
months when resistance Is prone to
be at It's lowest. One Of the most
concentrated foods we have, this
succulent shellfish Is full OF vita
minis and minerals which we need 10
fight colds and more serious all
ments.
There is added health protective
ness In the fact that oysters are en-
joyed raw on the half-shell. In that
form they are In their natural good
ness and nothing Of nutritive value
Is lost. The trend today Is toward
retaining the naturalness OF the
foods we eat and in that regard the
oyster is one OF the very few animal
foods eaten raw.
The highly scientific and well
planned cultivation Of oysters not
only gives us a better bivalve but
stabilizes the supply 80 that all may
enjoy this fruit of the sea. The
Roman Emperors who brought oys-
tiers to their festive boards from
Britain at tremendous expense did
not have as good a bivalve to eat as
the average American today OBJ
tains for very little. Besides the
actual raising of the oyster, the
maintenance of It's best qualities
through modern facilities Is so adj
vanced today that you can obtain it
in It's most exquisite condition.
A number of ways in which oys-
tiers can best be prepared are given
In the Fish and Shellflsh Cook Book
which readers OF this publication can
obtain free by writing the Fishery
Council, 204 Water Street, N. Y. c.,

Although Col. F.. NJ. Rosecrans,
state selective service director
has announced that some regis
trants in the February Is lists
will receive questionnaires within
the next few days, il is not likely
that any will be sent out in the
Detroit area for some time.
Most of the Wayne County
boards have not completed their
official order number listingS
which first must be done before
missionaries are sent out. II is
likely that the missionaries will
be delayed al least another week
In this district.
According 10 RosecranS. the
various boards will fill June quotas
from the new registration group
where necessary but in Wayne
County most Of the boards still
have enough available men on the
second registration list TO fill their
quotas for some time. ReclaSSifica-
ton OF ga draftees is making
available many additional men in
the county.
Registrars filling out their
questionnaires are cautioned 10
make certain that all dependency
and occupational information is
supplied. II not deferred, they will
be called for physical examinations
before they are classified, accord

geant all in the course of a year =
that is the unique and paradoxical
military record of Tech. Sgt Mar
tin p. Webbing
\ He has soldiers record with

Pearl Harbor. ne wore proudly the
gilt oak leaves Of major. Today
hc wears an enlisted mans uni

cal sergeant as well AS seven
hash marks or service stripes,
each denoting three years army
service.
Today he sits at a desk on the
fourth floor of the Federal Build

adjutant of Michigan military area

HOW 1T CAME ABOUT
Here is the way il came about

1927, received his commission as a
reserve officer.
Meanwhile he remained on duty
as a technical sergeant. finally
becoming sergeant ma jor ar Michi-
gan military area headquarters.

active duty as a captain, and was
named assistant co-ordlnator for

1871. he was promoted 10 major.
RE-ENLISTS IMMEDIATELY
Then. when his years service
was up. on Dec. ,, l94l.-just a
few days before the declaration of
war he was not given extended
duty but was allowed TO go out.
As n true soldier. Webbing imme-
diately re-enlisted in the regular

MRS. ZANES: Q-My son is
IS and is good at clerical work
an automobile inspector. proficient
IN the use of all precision instru-
.mentS and as a young man also
worked in a bakery. A friend tells
him he can Join the marines as a
clerk, guard or bakers helper and
that he will not be sent outside

Ale can enlist In the marine
corps reserve as n private and
would he assigned In whatever
duty he Is specifically adapted. He
could he ordered for duty, how
ever. in any part OF the world
where marines are serving.
MISS r. MES: Q-My
brother has his first papers. Should
he ask for his second papers be-
fore he goes overseas?
RULE MAY BE CHANGED
AT present, final naturaliza-
tion papers will be issued only
when the full time has expired,
though probably some time in the
near future arrangements will be
made to shorten this period for
men In the armed forces, as was
done In World War 7.
MRS. J. S: Q-Ay husband
served three years for arson and
has been placed in Az. In what
class will he be put when reclas-
sified?
A-That answer rests with his
local draft board. but the selec-
tive service regulations state that
a man convicted OF felony Is TO
he classified In AZ, the class for
those considered morally, mentally
or physically unfit for military
service.
MUST STATE RECORD
Mrs. r. J. Meyer. A-When
your friend is called up for Undue
ton he should inform the draft
officials of his federal conviction
Tin fact. he should have done this
when he answered his question
naire). otherwise when he is fin
the check of his prints
will disclose that fact and he will
be liable 10 a penalty.
Patricia. Ayes. keep on writ
ing him. He may belong 10 some
unit that is on its way overseas
and consequently you may not
have any letters from him for
some time. In any case. plenty of
letters from home cheer a man up
immensely when he is on active
service.
