 The Forum Club got of to a good start Tuesday night with about ten fellows present. This promises to become top notch event on the USO calendar.
 The USO is badly in need of skates for the use of servicemen Any skates loaned or donated will be well taken care of by us. Call us if you can be of any assistance. Thanks to the Ski Club for the donation of sandwiches and cake last week They went the way of all flesh immediately and pronto!

BRIDES WITHOUT RINGS K WORRY,
 ENGLISH CIRCLES

LONDON-Brides without rings and babies without carriages have been added to the wartime worries of the British.
 So far, there are no bare-fingered brides and babies haven't had to walk or use taxis, but w. F. Higgs of Birmingham views the near fu- ture with concern and wants the board of trade to do something about it.
 Higgs is an MP. from Birming- ham West and it is natural for him to be among the early wor- riers on this problem because the Birmingham region produces a large share of Britains wedding bands and perambulators.

 At this juncture we desire to call your attention to very strange phenomenon by the name of Paul Harlow. This man my friends sits himself down at the canteen at least thrice week and orders himself a raw hamburg with onions Just about this time his fellow service men at the canteen begin to look around for the dog who is to be the recipient of this luscious thick hamburg in the nude. But no there is no dog. There is only a very calm, nonchalant private who immediately munches away gaz- ing dreamily into space looking for all the world as though he were about to break out into Weissmul- Ter Tarzan yell at any moment. You have now met Hamburger Harlow.

The new campaign of the War

les are not lessening the strain
on meat supplies. Several prom
inent members of the industry
believe rationing will have TO
be continued for at least two
years after the war.
The United Nations Food Con-
ference demonstrated that with
peace the demand for food sup
plies will become even greater
than during war. Yet many un-
thinking civilians seem to ex-
pect peace any day now and
then beefsteak every day.
In the first place, of course.
we're a long way from winning
the war. That job will take
many more victories and con
sequently put further strain on
our food supplies.

per cent. The number Of men In
