the inef1ciency. inconsistency, and
lack of understanding with which

relaxed the censorship completely

Bison Meat
is Latest
DeIicacy

HOUSTON, Feb. 81 - Up
That pioneering spirit isn't dead.
Houston is eating buffalo meat.
Four unrationed bison were
purchased by a local packing
company, and today several res
taurants were displaying it
proudly on their menus.
L. N. ARIA, operator of cof
fee shop, roasted leg of a
young bison, and then declared:
1T tastes like good grade of
beef. Very palatablc.
Harold Ross of the packing
company said all reports were
equally favorable. But there's
one speck of trouble ahead -
The ranchhands at Rancho
Anacacho near Del Rio spent one
entire day corralling these four
bison so that they could be ship
ped by truck to Houston. But
even though they are hard to
catch, the bison won't last long.
At Last county, there were only
10 more members of the bison
herd.
In the emergency the once
scorned goat has acquired favor
and flavor.

The Strange Case Of Reginald Moore
He Lives in England

LONDON. Feb. 27-Through

are living in England today, free

They are working at various
civilian jobs, with only one re-
striction on their lives: They
may never, on the pain of death,
again take up arms against Ger
many or her allies during the
present war.
The story of Reginald Moore,
for the past two years bartend-
er of one of London's fashiona-
bic hotels, is typical of the 9TH

young man of 26, was senior

ers. Moore and his companions
lived on the raiders for many
weeks.
Finally, the German ships
supplies ran low. There was too
little food TO keep the prisoners

Pop and Nom
Play Host to
Lonely GObs

KANSAS CITY, Feb. q Up
- Pop and Nom Como bar the
doors of their 18th Street res
taurant to paying customers once
every six weeks - they've got
more important business.
On that day kindly Sam and
Tosca Como give a farewell din
ner to 25 sea less and lonely
sailors. It's all free: The meal,
the conversation, the fun.
The gobs are sent to this mid
America city for a six weeks
course in air traffic control UNI
der the Civil Aeronautics Adj
ministration. They're about as
far from the ocean as they can
get and their stay is so short
that it's difficult to make friends.
So Nom and Pop take them
in hand.
At the end Of the gobs' course,
the Comos serve the farewell
dinner, wish their adopted sons
happy voyage - and await
new arrivals. They've been do
ing it since last Summer.
The sailors don't forget.

American flyers returning
from the Wilhelmshaven raid

CONSTANT BLOWS
The pounding of Germany and
occupied Europe went almost
without retaliation.
There was slight enemy activ-

coast of England and bombs
were dropped on one place, but
no serious damage was reported.
Two German planes were re-

Between the American ham,
mering of Wilhelmshaven and
the Raj attack on western
Germany last night, allied bomb
ers and fighters roared over
France and bombed
an airfield on the Cherbourg
Peninsula. Mosquito bombers
meanwhile attacked railway
yards and German naval stor-
age depot near Rennes.
Twotof the fighters and three
of the bombers were reported
missing after the raid.
Gladwin Hill, Associated Press

bombers had to fight their way
out of two-hour running battle
with a persistent German fight

however, was inflicted by the
aircraft barrage, he said.
