WASHINGTON. Oct. 1c.-(UP0
Japan appeared to be preparing a
pincers offensive today in an at
tempt to isolate and then crush the
US. Marine garrison on Guadalca-

Military experts, piecing togeth-

pated a three-pronged move against
American positions on the island

On land these experts said, the

expected to approach the American
base from the south and northwest.
That base. which includes the fine
airfield originally built by the Jap
anese and now used by American
aircraft, is located on the northern
side of the island.

CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

All signs now point to the fact
that this business of meat ration
ing is going to be more fun than
any mathematical paStime yet.
Worrying about Joe DiMag's bat
ting average. Notre Danes odds.
the bangtailS, your golf handicap.
the numbers racket, your weight.
your age, your income tax, your
draft number, your waist, your
hipS-all these will be simple COM
pared with figuring how you are
going to eat your two and a half
pounds per week. no more but
maybe less. Old folks should get
half allowance, infants and vege-
tarianS. none.
You have until February to
figure this out. The government
gals and Guys who run ration
ing won't be able to figure il
out for you before that, either.
But you can do this voluntarily
now to get in practice.
The people who are worrying
about such things have already
coined a slogan to spur you on
ward but downward. It's kinda
suggestive, but it fits. It's Share
the Meat" and it has three kick
ers on the end:
It's patriotic to share.
It's fair to share.
It's wise to share.
The sharing business is arrived
at from several sources. Somebody
made a survey in 1886 and found
that families with incomes Of less
than $500 a year averaged only
IL pounds of meat per person
per week, while families with in
comes of more than $4,000 a year
averaged five pounds per person
per week. Families with incor,es
between $500 and $4,000 a year are
apparently all right
SOME MORE, SOME LESS
So the idea is to make the fam
lily of 1. GottbuckS eat only half
as much meat, while the family
of I. Got Plenty of Nothin will be
encouraged to eat more meat to
provide more nutrition and more
muscle for more war work.
The sharing theme comes in
also in the furnishing of more
meat to the Army and Navy
which need it, and to the United
Nations people who are having
to get along on pound week
or less.
But it is in figuring things out
so that you won't oVereat on your
2l2 pounds a week that the fun
will come in. There must be no
cheating. Two and half pounds
is 40 ounces. If YOU work a i've
day week and figure on eating
meat only on working days or 60
ing in for two meatless days
week. that's half a pound a Gay.
Divide it by seven and you come
out with a scant six ounces day.
If you pack a boloney sandwich
in YOUR lunch. that counts too. II
YOU buy your lunch at restau-
rant, the meat you buy there must
be included in your 2i2 pounds, SO
consequently you may soon expect
to encounter the amazing spectacle
of finding restaurants listing on
their menus the weights OF the
meat portions served. For IN
stance, there might be an item
reading:
Pork chop Dreaded Bercy aux
gratin, aux buerre, 3.45 OF
Club sandwich. chicken 10 o.,
bacon O.0000000001 OF.
The idea is that you must keep
score for the week, on your cuff
or inside your paper match cover,
and try to come out even at Sat
urday midnight with exactly D.
rooonnn o,.,,pac consumed.
Imperial Valley press., 1942-10-12
COMES SUBSTITUTES


But it is in figuring out substi-
tutes for meat that the home eco
nomists will reach their all-time
hysterical high.
Good red meat contains pro-
tein, iron, thiamin or Vitamin
B1, and niacni. Normally
fourth of the protein, fourth
of the iron, a fifth of the thia-
min and a half of your niacin
come from meat. Cut down on
the meat ration and you have
to get those four essentials to
is where the ersatZ menu MAX
ers will come in, and if they
diet from other things. Here
carry their art to the logical
conclusion you may expect the
hashhouse menus to offer you
something like.
Peanut butter soup, a la Lou'-
isianne ..................................... 15c
Meat protein equivalent OO375
OzD
Yes, peanuts. dry beans, eggs,
fish, poultry, cheese, milk and soy
DedllS are IICH III pIOJCIIIo, nun
you can get from whole-grain ce-
reals, thiamin and niacin from
more fruits and vegetables if you
can get the fruits and vegetables.
But the main doctrine which the
kitchen scientists want to put
over in this Share the Meat" b"
campaign is to Spread the Flavor.
The things one veal knuckle is
going to be called upon to do in
this war are simply beyond be-
lief. You are apt to get it first
as a roast, then sliced cold then
with cabbage in a boiled dinner,
then to become meat balls with
spaghetti, next in a stew, next in
soup, and finally, when you're just
getting used to the flavor, it will
be ground up with soybeans or
something and served as soybcan
loaf.
Speaking Of Soybeans, have you
ever tried a Soyburger? Soybcan
meal, ground up and made into a
roll that looks like sausage.
How do you think you're going
TO like it. You're going to like it.

ALkSKANS' AIR
MAIL CHESS
GAME CENSORED

Some time ago, the Daily Alaska
Empire printed a story about the
heated chess tournament being car
ried on between o. H. Stratton
of Juneau and some of the teach
ers of the University of Alaska at
Fairbanks, through the medium CT
the mails.
The games continued to hold the
interest of the participants, but
when the University dismissed for
the summer, one of the chess adj
diets OF It's staff, L. E. Hough, in
structor in Civil Engineering and
Physics. went to Seattle for the
summer months.
The game could not be Interrupt
ted in ite most exciting part, how
ever so Hough continued it long
distance, by air mail, with STRAIT
ton
But the Kings and Pawns now
rest bew ldered on the boards in Sc
attic ana in Juneau. The game IS
undecided and bids fair to remain
undecided for the duration of the
War.
1t has been censored.
For the information of the I'M
initiated, a diagram of the game
would look something like this
Kxk4; then KxK4; then KtxKB3.
These figures show the positions to
which the Kings, or other pieces f
each player are to be moved.
The man reading the mails 60
ing between here and Seattle either
is not a chess player or is highly
suspicious Of the underlying pur-
pose Of The game between Stratton
and Hough. He cut all the dia-
grams out of the letters.
Therefore the chess game will re-
main unSolved until the instructor
returns to Alaska or until the end
of the War. Hough and Stratton
are willing to forego their pleasures,
however, recognizing the logic If
the censors' reasoning that a chess
game ccnld easily be used as a
code.
