Negro officer Waits 43
Years For War Cross

LIMA. o. UP Eighty-year-old
Peter McCown, retired Negro army
officer, is still waiting for the Dis
tinguished Service Cross he won for
conspicuous gallantry in the Span
ish-American War.
McCown, former captain in the
U. S. Army, saw service in BstaaL
Peninsula during the Philippine In
surrection and in Cuba during the
80 years he served in the armed
forces.
He was awarded the distin-
guished service cross in 1898 for his
service in Cuba. but no crosses were
available at that time. In 1881 Sec
rotary of War Patrick Hurley award
ed McCown the distinguished serv-
ice medal, with the explanation that
crosses still were not available.
In 1887 the War Department
wrote McCown, asking that he turn
in his medal in exchange for cross.
McCown couldn't find his medal.
Recently, his wife found it and
the sight of the medal inspired him
to try to enlist again.
He was rejected because OF his
age. but the War Department prom
ises he soon will have the distin-
guished service cross he has waited
for nearly AZ years.

Special Committee For
Fund Campaign
$500 GOAL THIS YEAR

appointment of committee of
ten alumni of the University of
Delaware in Kent County to serve
as a special committee in that area
on behalf of the Alumni Fund
Campaign now being conducted,
was announced this week by Ern-
est F. Smith, Jr., of Kenton, acting
president of the Kent County
Alumni Club. The men named for
this committee are: Davis H. Bell,
Smyrna; w. Lyle Mowlds, H. r.
Baker, M. Hayes Wilson, Everett
d. Matthews, Owen A. Evans, and
Richard A. Haber, all of Dover; A.
Bailey Thomas, Wyoming; William
B. Simpson, Camden; and George
M. Bringhurst, Viola. The cam
paign now underway opened on
January II and will continue until
February IA. 1t is the third an
nual fund campaign of the Univer-
sity of Delaware Alumni Associa-
ton, and the goal this year is ST.
500, to be raised by voluntary con-
tributions from association men,
bers. This fund is sought to con-
tinue the alumni program and to
maintain an alumni Office on the
campus during the 1942-43 fiscal
year. Since the nation is at war,
leaders of the Alumni Association
considered carefully the question of
conducting the campaign this year.
However, after reviewing all fac
tors, it was decided that the Asso-
citation should proceed with its
plans to continue the work of the
organization, so that it may be in
the position to render even greater
services to the university and to its
members, of whom about nine per-
cent are on active duty with the
nations armed forces.

Many people with limited money
to spend for food must make a
choice between buying butter and
buying the milk, vegetables, fruits,
eggs and meats which their fam
lilies need. For such people it is
often best to substitute the cheaper
margarine for butter SO that they
may buy more milk from their
dairyman.
Most people use a cheaper fat for
cooking. Margarine because of its
vitamin A is more nourishing than
other cooking fats and it is quite
satisfactory for cakes, cookies,
bread, biscuits and other recipes
requiring a shortening.
If you do use margarine be sure
to read the label so that you will be
getting one of the minds to which

RIGHT FOOD FOR.
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
ponds on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

The national nutrition program
has concerned itself with making
oleomargarine a better food. Vita
min A has been added to many
brands of margarine.
The manufacture of margarine
was begun by a French chemist
Mege-Moureez in 1869. 1t was de-
signed from the first to furnish
sailors and low income groups with
a cheaper article than butter.
magazines are made from ami
NAL or vegetable oils. Cottonseed
oil is the most widely used oil. In
1941, 136,0OO,000 pounds of cotton
seed oil went into the making of
magazines. Thus the use of oleo-
margarine is of great Importance
to cotton farmers. However, cot
tonseed oil and the other oils used
for making margarine are not in
themselves rich sources of vitamin
A.
Vitamin A occurs in some fats,
particularly in the butter fat of
whole milk. The yellow color of
vegetables, carotene, is also a
source of this vitamin. The yell
low carotene is frequently masked
by the green coloring of vegetables.
Vitamin A is necessary for resist
ance to infection, for good eyesight
and for general good health.
The vitamin A content of butter
varies from 1000 to 10000 interna-
tional units according to the sea-
son. Summer feed because it is
green supplies more vitamin A
than winter feed and so summer
butter is richest in vitamin content.
Oleomragarine which contains vita
min A usually has a guaranteed
content of over $500 International
units per pound. The days require
ment for an adult for vitamin A is
5000 units according to the Nation
al Research Council.

LOANS FINANCE
NEW FOOD GOAL
High Goals in Food PrOduc.
ton to Be Financed; POul-
try, Meat in Demand
FOOD Is WAR WEAPON

j. L. Soper, County Supervisor
for the Farm Security Administra-
ton, announced today that the
scrapping of 1912 food production
quotas for FSA borrowers and
their replacement by new high
goals would increase Food for
Freedom" production in Kent and
New Castle County. "The new pro-
duction goals are high" but the
Government is prepared to finance
it with new loans. By helping the
Government, low-income families
can help themselves. Forms and
procedures fir obtaining loans have
been simplified to give the new
food-production drive running
start. In particular demand are
dairy and poultry products, various
vegetables and meat. 1--WE are
asking FSA farmers to produce
more for themselves, for our nation
and its allies and, eventually, for
the whole world" Soper explained.
Our Washington Office tells us
that food is becoming one of the
great weapons of this war, and it
is up to the farmer to supply it.
Troops still move on their stom-
achs, whether they are afoot, in the
air, in tanks or on the high seas.
The United States is going to have
to feed much of the world friend
ly nations now and enemy nations
when we have licked them; so there
is no danger of overproduction of
defense foods for a long time"
Those eligible for loans, generally,
are the present type of FSA bor-
rowers on family-type farms-farm
people who cannot obtain credit
from other sources, rural youth
willing to work in organized groups
to produce stock and food, farm
laborers, tenants, and some part
time farmers. Farm Security Bor-
rowers in Kent and New Castle
Counties are responding to the sug-
gestion, as patriotic farmers should,
to the suggestion that the farm
plans for this year should include
provisions for the production of
food in sufficient quantities to meet
the country's needs.
