cause my husband Joe Turp
and the other soldiers have
got 10 have them and my
pops said, daughter, that is
the best news / have heard
since this war began.
He SAID that is realty
wonderful news. Now maybe
] will be able 10 get some
thing TO eat around here and
put my stomach back iH
shape again.
YOUR MONS will have to
dig up that old skillet and
those old pots and pans she
used 10 cook with when we
were first married and start
giving me that good old
fodder she tossed at me be-
fore she found out about
canned grub.
HE SAID, you take some
thing like baked beans now.
Your mons used 10 soak
batch of those raw white
beans quite awhile and then
boil them until they got good
and soft and put them in a
big flat pan and bake them
all night and nobody in this
world ever tasted baked
beans like them.
ALL THE GUYS / worked
with were jealous of me be-
cause Of those beans but
few years ago she discovered
that it was easier for her 10
grab a can opener and cut
open a can of baked beans
from the store and heat them
up a little bit and dump them
on my plate.
HE SAID, daughter, !
haven't had what | call real
baked beans in ten years and
its the same with other vege-
tables but / didn t mind so
much until one day she came
home with some canned
baked chicken and then |
really hollered because your
mons can bake a chicken
better than anybody that
ever lived when she is level
Ing.
| SAID, pops, please let
me get in a word edgeways,
will you3
| SAID, those canned
things saved mons a lot of
work and you should not com
plain about them after she
spent most of her life hang
ing over a hot stove cooking
for you, especially when the
canned things are the very
best things that can be made
and some of them taste bet
ter than things that are cooked
at home.
He SAID, who do they
taste better TOT ! said. well,
my Joe liked canned things if
they would save me a lot Of
work and my pops said, that $
the younger generation that
hasn't got any taste for any
thing anyhow.
DAUGHTER, | might as
well tell YOU that I have been
greatly disappointed IN your
mons the past ten years for
the way she has neglected her
cooking because she could get
il in cans. / would hate TO
see picture of my stomach.
JUST THEN my mons
came IN and said, what have
YOU two been talking about
You look very serious and NY
pops said. Ethel has been tell
ing me about how they are
cutting off the canned goods
on Us and ! was Just saying
that now You can get out that

NO C0URT-MARTIAL
DEMAND MADE, SAYS
REAR ADM. kIMMEL

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Rear Ad-
miral Husband E. Kimmell denies
published reports that he drafted
a letter to Secretary of Navy Frank
Knox requesting an immediate
court martial.
Kimmell said: Il did not send nor
authorize anyone to send such a
letter. In my position l do feel
am entitled to a court-martial and
welcome one anytime, however
realize a court-martial at this time
could only be had at the expense
of the war effort because OF re-
sulting interferences of very i'm
portant witnesses in very important
duties. Essential witnesses OF high
rank are now active in the theatres
of war and there would also be
great difficulty in assembling
them"
Kimmell is now associated with a
New York engineering firm, He
was naval commander at Pearl Har-
Dor at the time the Japanese at
tackled.

WASHINGTON, Oct 13.-Repre-

House today that if the money being
spent by the American Government
to develop questionable Canadian
oil fields had been spent on petrol
cum fields in the United States,
American production would have
been increased several hundred
thousand barrels daily
Gavin referred to the Canol pro-
ject on the Mackenzie River, rs
miles south of the Arctic Circle, as
sorting it was widely publicized in
Canada, including printed maps,
showing the location of the field
and pipelines, but the War Depart
ment refused to make public the
terms of the American Canadian
contract on the grounds of military
secrecy.
Gavin said There can be no
valid reason for their refusal to tell
exactly what the War Department
contracted to do with this petroleum
venture. The only reason for the
refusal to. make the matter fully
