Hope Gets Surprise When
He Finds Nephew raining
At KeesIer Field WEDNESDAY

" Atett SaA EAAE1t AAAAAAaAN&
Bob Hope when he met his neph-
ew. Pvt Milton Hope at Keesler
Field. last Wednesday. Then,
grabbing Private Hope in his arm
and giving him a bear hug. he
turned 10 Frances Langford and
Jerry Colonna and said, Look,
my nephew Milt."
Il all came up rather suddenly,
because Hope, who saw his neph-
ew last about six weeks ago in
Cleveland, O.. had no idea he was
in the Army-and certainly he
didn't expect 70 find him al KEGS
Ter Field. But Nephew Milt, some
what tanned by the Mississippi
Sun, was standing just inside the
stage door, of the hangar and
was the first person the visiting
comedian saw as he stepped in
the door.
INTRODUCED TO CROWD
Later on at the show Bob in
troduced his nephew 10 the crowd
and told OF his surprise at finding
his nephew at Keesler Field. Just
goes TO show how secretive ev-
erything in the Army is he ex-
planned.
Private Hope told his uncle he
was leaving the field the next day
and when Bob asked him where
he was going, he whispered, ITS
military secret
When Private Hope learned mis-
uncle was coming 10 Keesler Field,
he contacted his First Sergeant,
Robert Gray, Of the 590th Tech.
Sc. Squadron. and asked pernis-
sion 70 see his famous uncle. II
took a great deal OF talking to
convince the Sergeant that he was
really Hopes nephew. Private
Hope was sent to the Public Rela-
tions Office and together with
a Keesler Field News reporter he
went to see his uncle.
MPs DOUBTFUL
Then his troubles began. Not
one, but several MPs stopped sim
and one expressed the sentiments
Of all when he said, yeah, you're
Hopes nephew and I'm the Queen
Of Sheba's nephew, beat itl' But
the MPs were finally convinced.
Bob was always an entertain
err Private Hope said in recalling
his youth "As boy in Cleveland,
he would sing and entertain in
pool rooms, street corners and earn
money for his mother and himself.
In both High School and College
he starred in most Of the plays.
sHe loves to entertain and is
a natural born humorist. Even to-
day he still continues to amaze
his family with the energy which
allows him 10 give two shows,
make several personal appear
ances, attend some social function,
prepare his scripts and attend 70
his family and business affairs, all
in one day"

I the average two or three inches.
 Most of the others passed the ex-
 animation, but the remarkably strong and we'll developed young
 man failed-he had pulmonary to tuberculosis. Not that overdevelop- ment of muscle predisposes to tuber- culosis particularly - though ex- treme muscular development cer- tainly tends to sap the individuals vitality-but just to show that great physical or muscular strength should not be confused with health or vite.
 This misconception crops up every day in letters from our readers, in a context which, to my mind, &C., counts for common carlessness or negligence on the part of the lalty, namely, reluctance to consult the physician in the early stages of the heart, artery, brain or kidney manifestation of CVD.
 CVD means cardiovascular de- generation = heart-artery wearing out in mature adults, which ac- counts for most of the break downs" of middle age and there after.
 Typical of this popular miscon- ception is the familiar observation of astoniShment at so-and-So'S heart failure, and as so-and-so was appar ently so strong and powerfully built.
 On other occasions I have en- deavored to suggest some of the early, and generally misinterpreted manifestations of CVD without un- duly alarming anybody, but it is pretty difficult to do so via news paper or letter. I know of but one way to deal intelligently and effec- lively with CVD and that Is by pe- sonal interview with the patient. have done the best I can do with the question in the booklet "CVD" available on request if you enclose ten cents and stamped envelope | bearing your address. But the best advice I can offer any adult who may be in the incipient stage of i CVD, whether he realizes it or thinks is is just Indigestion" or "overwork," is this: select good | doctor, not a specialist" but a good | doctor in your own community, and consult him regularly about your diet, general habits, hygiene, and | everything pertaining to health and longevity from now on. And don't | wait till you are incapacitated by | the progress of the degeneration. The longer you neglect proper med- ical care the less the doctor can do | for you in any case.

Peaches are Victory Food Spe- cial." Make the most of them by canning.
 The following tips from home economists of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, will pre- vent waste in money and flavor.
 First wash peaches in cold wa ter, but do not soak. Remove skins. Pare them thin in order to save all of the peach fruit possible. If skins are hard to remove, stand the peaches in hot water for no more than half minute, or until skins will slip off easily. Then immedi- ately plunge the fruit into cold wa ter for few seconds before peeling. THIS KEEPS THEM
 FROM TURNING BROWN
 To keep hot water treatment from turning peaches brown, dip them in solution of salt, vinegar and wa ter, using 2 teaspoons salt and 2 teaspoons vinegar to a gallon of cold water. Dip peaches in solution for about 2 minutes. Can fruit in its own juices to hold its flavor and conserve all Its food value. Can fruit in s ices to get more into each jar. That Is important today be- cause of the shortage of jars and rubber rings.
 First, cut the peaches in slices Then put the sliced fruit in a kettle and add sugar. By putting sugar directly on the peaches, you help draw out the juice and thereby waste no natural sweeting. Let the sugared fruit stand a few min utes, then place the kettle on stove and heat fruit slowly until sugar has dissolved and the fruit is hot throughout. But do not cook peaches to soft stage.
 (This column will carry more ex- pert advice on canning peaches to- morrow)

-WET THE WOMEN Let's Start Getting Tougher If We Want To Win The War

[ ting his parents run his life for him.
 It is that toughness which is re- sponsible for a husband and wife starting out with nothing and build ing a place for themselves and their children.
 It is that core of toughness which keeps them from spelling their chill dren so that it is almost impossible for them to do anything or amount to anything on their own.
 People who haven't that core of hardness are often lovable, often companionable, often nice to have around. But they almost invariably make mess of their own lives and the lives of those they love. PEOPLE TO MATCH
 NATIONS HARDNESS
 It takes some hardness to decide what is important and what is not and stick by the decision. It takes hardness to keep from always taking the easy course, just because it is easy. It takes hardness to keep from making life too easy for those one loves.
 We know now we have that core of hardness as a nation, and we shouldn't forget that it is just as important for us to have it as indi- viduals.

pair championship. Mixed pair events have become increasingly popular everywhere. One of the south's outstanding woman players, Mrs. J. E. Follinc of Richmond, won the event last year, playing with Ben O. Johnson of Spartanburg s. c.
 Here is an example of Mrs Fol- lines skilled play. Sitting South, she let the diamond queen win the first trick. The second was won by the ace of diamonds, and Mrs Folline led the queen of clubs. East won and made the mistake of returning a low heart. The nine forced the queen, and West led third dia- mend, forcing the king. Mrs. Folline cashed the club ace, dropping the jack. Then she cashed the spade king and went over with the nire of clubs to cash the spade ace in dummy. Dummy led the heart for the winning finesSe of the jack, and the contract was made.

 So many women write doiefully about their derriere problems big ones, always - that guess two things. One Is, women are wearing slacks which aren't too becoming in the sense of concealing. The other is, the boys and girls are doing some pretty successful kidding you-and that, by the way, can be misleading.
 It's true that nobody cottons to a slovenly, slatternly figure of a woman. But don't let that fact give you the idea tha tthe boys don't like to see a substantial curve. So wouldn't be rushing around to trim down to rail dimensions at the first laugh at my slacks.
 THERE'S SUMMING
 IN THIS NEW WALK"
 However, if couldn't take the kidding. I wouldn't wear the slacks where I knew they'd invite com ment,. And if were really big and soft, I'd exercise. Like so-
 Sit with legs outstretched, feet together, hand s on floor in back of you. Raise torso high of floor and drop to floor, first on one side, then on the other. Let your waist have 8 good swift twist, and don't mind pounding as you land. (Only, of course don't bruise tis- Sue)
 Then sit up straight, tummy in, legs straight forward, head up, hands on hips, and do what the good Fifth Avenue salon that in- vented this calls fanny walking" That is: lift the legs from the hips and push forward without bend ing the knees.
 Now stand and hold on to something - solid chair will do. Keeping tummy in, head and chest up, swing legs back and up, from the hips, alternately.
 Try about ten minutes of this daily for 8 week or so, and when you feel up to 1t, more. It will take some weeks to SC results, but they'll be worth the effort.

HEALTH AND STRENGTH

For many years the big muscle boys of the pubs have been promis- ing child-minded customers, the strength of Samson in six easy les sons, and probably that has lent weight to the popular notion that strength means health. This mo- tion Is misleading and harmful. A man may have extraordinary physi- cal or muscular strength, more than a normal person has, yet be i'll of serious organic disease. I recall the instance of youth whose physical strength and development was out standing in group of young men undergoing complete physical exam ination.
