An announcement has been made
Of the advent Of fiber "cans" and
cartons in which cellophane Is
laminated to cardboard as a new
type Of food container. A number
Of these were exhibited by the Du
Pont company at the annual pack
aging show at the Hotel Astor in
New York the middle of this month.
A second type Of container is known
as the "bag-and-box" package. Here
leakproof cellophane bag is formed
inside a carton, or made an integral
part OF 1t, and tightly sealed by heat.
Experiments have shown that
many products now packaged in
metal containers may be packaged
in these new "cans" and cartons
with entire success, thus releasing
countless pounds of tin and steel for
other vital uses.
Cellophane also steps into the
breach by replacing foil on nu-
merous packages, and for wrapping
cheese-which formely used great
quantities of the precious metal.
Already a number of dry foods are
being packaged in cellophane, to the
satisfaction of both merchant and
consumer.

UNCLE SAM STRIKES
AT TIRE BOOTLEGGERS

Bootlegging of automobile tires
and tubes has become a racket
reminiscent of the days of pro-
hibition. Illegal activities are
so widespread, government off,
cials said this week, that Uncle
Sam is going to buy up all tires
and tubes in an effort to put the
crooks out of business.
Under the plan, as announced,
all retail dealers and jobbers
must sell their stocks to manu-
facturers, who will turn them
over to the government, which
will pay market prices, plus
handling charges and a profit.

Men In Service
Should Not Lose
Social Security Rights

Washington, ID. C.-Early en-
actment of legislation that would
prevent workers entering the
armed forces from losing their
Federal insurance protection is
recommended in the annual re-
port of the Social Security Board
transmitted to Congress by Fed
eral Security Administrator Paul
V. McNutt. Attention is also
directed to the need of safe
guarding the insurance rights of
persons who take civil-defense
jobs with the Federal Govern
ment and thereby endanger their
insurance right under the Fed
eral old-age and survivors insur-
ance system, which does not COW
er Government employment.
The Board suggests that the
insurance rights Of those who
join the Army or Navy could be
protected in one of several ways.
One method would "freeze" their
insurance STATUS upon IIle udCe ol
their enlistment or induction,
with no contributions or benefits
payable during the period Of
their service but with the re-
sumption of such status at the
time they leave the armed forces.
Another would extend the COW
erage of the old-age and surviv-
ors insurance system to include
employment with the armed
forces.

The latter method, the Board
suggests, would seem to be the
more satisfactory, provided that
coordination could be effected
with programs set up for per-
sons in the regular armed forces
and with the special programs
for veterans benefits.
The Board believes that old
age and survivors insurance
protection should now be extend
ed to farm laborers, domestic
servants, and all other excluded
groups of workers, including
public employees, employees of
charitable, religious, educational,
and other non-profit organiza-
tions, and the "self-employed."

Tells Of Service

John M. Mccall, recruiting of
ficer for the U. S. Marines, Gran
vile, received the following let
ter from Bob Keller now station
ed in San Diego, Calf, telling of
his experiences in the service:
Dear John:
= | left Cincinnati on the
Big Four railroad with seven
other new Marines. Two of these
boys were from Licking county,
both coming from Newark. They
were Keith Priest and Link Rus
sci. We arrived in Chicago about
nine o'clock in the evening and
transferred to the Santa Fe rail-
road. We then had a pullman
car and access to the club car
and diner. We were allowed one
dollar a meal and the food was
very good. Tuesday afternoon
we arrived in San Diego and
were taken to the Receiving
Barracks at the base. We were
then given another physical ex-
animation and then sent to bar
racks where we spent the night.
The next morning we were di
vided into platoons and taken to
draw clothing. Our officers then
took us to the "hut area" where
we were given permanent quar-
ters. There were sixteen of US
to a hut. For the rest of the week
we were on Police detail and did
various jobs around the base.
Monday we went on schedule.
For one week were were drilled
in marching without rifle. The
next week we were taught the
manual of arms, and drilling
with the rifle. The third week we
went nine miles north of San
Diego to the Marine rifle range,
For a week we were taught how
to line sight up, how to squeeze
the trigger and the different po-
sitions of firing. The fourth
week was then spent firing at 200
800, and 500 yards. The last day
of firing was known as record
day when our scores counted for
winning medals. We then came
back to the base for our last
week of boot camp. We were
taught more about drilling with
rifle and issued more clothes.
We were then afforded the op-
portunity to take tests for the
following schools: telephone, ra-
diO, aviation, motor transport and
the band.
Our platoon was then given
their Scatter sheets" and those
who had passed their tests went
to the different schools and the
rest went to the second Marine
Division at Camp Elliott, Is mile
north of here. | went to tele-
phone school and like it fine and
am learning a lot everyday. The
food has been good all the way
through. Will close with the new
