local people number of interesting
hints as to how they are handling
the work back there.
It turns out that the Civilian De
Tense in Nebraska is directly under
the army while here it is set UP
under state supervision. Mr. ALI
son assured his listeners that they
are doing a real work in the wal
effort. They are training them
selves and preparing for real serv-
ice to the public if the worst ma
terializes. and he said they are now
helping to keep up morale by STIR

public confidence that preparation
are being made for their care ant

Indian Ambulance Train

An ambulance train now operat-
ing in Iraq is typical of the thor
oughness with which the Indian
army tackles the problem of keep
ing fit in a trying climate. The ex-
terror of the train is painted khaki
and bears the Red Cross of Geneva
prominently painted on the side of
each carriage as well as on the
roof, so that there can be no ex-
cuse for air attack. Within, the
train is painted a cool shade OF
light green which aids in promot-
ing the illusion Of lower tempera-
ture and furthers the comfort Of the
patients.

Sugar Savers

To. conserve sugar, the home econ

agriculture suggest making fewer
pies, cakes. and sngar-rch des-
serts; using more fruits-fresh,
canned. and dried gradually reduc-
ing the quantity of sugar in bever-
ages, especially if the usual quanti-
ty leaves some undissolved in the
bottom of the cup, eating cereals
with little or no sugar, to SAVIOR
their distinctive havors, serving any
very sweet foods, like preserves,
last-never before foods that are
less sweet, because this contrast
makes one want extra sugar.

 CRUELTY OF NAZS
Prayers Offered for DeIiv. erance of Jews From
 Savage OppressOrs

Catholics, ProtestantS and Jews joined at Beth-El synagogue last night in protests against persecution and murder of Jews in NaZi-occu- pied Europe. The program was one of a number held about the country yesterday.
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully said that the prayers of millions that the days of savagery in Europe be ended must certainly be answered. The people of America, he said. are as one in their adherence of the hor- rEs and brutality inflicted on the Jews in Europe by Hitler and his satellites.
 Rabbi William P. Greenfield as- serted that the State Department had confirmed reports that Jews in Poland and elsewhere are being sys- tematically eXterminated. the cam- paign directed especially against older people and against chil- dren since they cannot be used as slave labor. Two million Jews have been slaughtered, he said, some of them murdered, and others used ill experiments with poison gas.
 Other speakers were Rev. Dr. John c. Walker, Rev. Alan Fairbank, Rev. Conner Lewis, Attorney Perry Graf cerstein. Rabbi Max Gifter and Rab- bi David Polish.
 Special prayer services were held in local Synagogues yesterday in observance of the day of mourning

 Colleges
tNEA Radiophoto)

Providence, R. T., Dec, S.-The regional meeting of the New Eng land Unit of the National Catholic Educational Association to be held Saturday at Emmanuel College, Boston, should produce concrete results and call forth unity of pro- cedure in dealing with the crisis facing liberal arts colleges" the Very Rev. John J. Dillon, o. P, president of Providence College and head of the unit, said today.
 "The administrative problems fac ing the Catholic colleges today as a result of necessary wartime read- justments are perhaps more serious than those facing other institutions" Father Dillon continued, because of a deliberate policy of restricting their membership to provide the best teacher-student relationships. Still, the Catholic college has a mis- sion to perform. in war as well as in peace, and Catholic colleges for both men and women have an ob- ligation to their communities and to the nation to continue in existence and in the fullest possible opera tion."
 The subject of Saturdays meet ng will be The Catholic College and the War Emergency" Two formal papers will be read: The Catholic Colleges Service to the War Effort by Professor Riley Hughes of Provi- dence College, and The Signifi- canoe of Liberal Arts in Training Programs, by Rev. James H. Petty, s. S. E.. president of St. Michael's College. His Eminence, William Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston, will be represented at the meeting by Right Rev. Richard J. Cuinlan, s. T. L., u. D., Diocesan Supervisor of Schools.
 The colleges which will De repre- sented at the meeting are: Albertus Magnus College, New Haven, Conn, Assumption College, Worcester, Mass, Boston College.
