New SeIectees 10 Get
14-Day FurIoughs,
With Travel Paid
Plan Effective June IS
Will Allow Men to Go
Home After Induction

A new plan to transfer all Sc
lectees accepted for active Army
duty to the Enlisted Reserve Corps
Immediately after induction, and to
send them home at Government eX-
pense for IA days to adjust personal
affairs, was announced last night at
the War Department.
The new arrangement, effective
on or about June Is, replaces the
present method of granting in
ductees Today furloughs on re-
quest. The substitute plan was
adopted, the War Department said.
to insure that no registrant will be
compelled to resign his position or
conclude his personal affairs until
he has definite knowledge that he
has been accepted by the Army"
Details of the plan we're worked
out in conjunction with the selective
service system. Despite every effort
to grant the Today furloughS on re-
quest, selective service headquarters
reported that such requests had been
denied in some instances and in
other cases inductees were unable
to pay their transportation home.
On Inactive Status.
Under the new plan, the selectee
is transferred to the Enlisted Re-
serve Corps at the induction center
and then placed on inactive status
for the l4-day period allowed him
to return to his home. Before he
departs arrangements will be made
for the payment of his transporta-
ton and meals, not only to his
home. but also to the reception CEN
ter where he reports to begin his
Army career. At the end of the
14-day furlough the reservist is or
dered into active service.
Men preferring to proceed directly
to reception centers without going
home may do so.
There is no change in the selective
service procedure now in effect be-
fore the mans arrival at the induc-
ton station. Immediately on arrival
there the inductee will be COM
pletely examined and If found quail
fed, accepted for transfer to the
Reserves. If not qualified, he is re-
Jected for military service. Rejected
men will be returned to their homes
at Government expense.

uled to send 165 registrants to Fort

THE sugar rationing program
L may prove to be a blessing in
disguise. For while refined sugar
is packed with energy, it lacks all
other food factors. Then too,
many of us have been eating far
too much sugar-oftentimes at
the expense of an adequate daily
diet which should include milk,
cereals, vegetables, fruits, eggs,
meat, cheese, fish, etc.
You will find 1t easier to stay
within your sugar quota, if you
remember the following points:
l. Serve fewer desserts requiring
sugar. Instead serve fresh
fruits. sweetened sparingly or
not at all, and canned fruits,
as we'll as fresh and canned
fruit juices ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
all rich in natural sugar, and
delicious as desserts.
2. When you do make desserts,
try using less sugar. Puddings,
custards, ice creams, sauces,
etc. often call for more sugar
than they really need, and so
the family will probably never
miss the sugar you cut out Of
them.
8. Urge your family to use less
sugar in coffee and tea, and to
stir it we'll. Sugar left un-
stirred in the bottom of the
cup is a waste. Try corn syrup,
honey or canned sweetened
condensed milk as the sweet
ener.
4. Serve waffles, griddle cakes, or
French toast, with maple
syrup, waffle syrup. honey.
molasses, jam or jelly for des-
sert.
S. Serve cheese, crackers and
jelly, jam or fruit for dessert.
6. Buy and serve packaged pre-
pared buildings. galatin des-
