Fruit and Vegetable
Prices Too High for
Canning, Says Roberts

'Price1 being charged for fruits
and vegetables at retail In Wash
ington are ridiculously high" George
M. Roberts, who retired recently as
District superintendent of Weights,
Measures and Markets, declared in
a statement today. At
Housewives cannot afford to buy
fruits and vegetables at high retail
prices that now prevail in Washing
ton markets for canning and pre-.
serving" he said. They should re-
fraln from buying at prices nowne-
manded and inform dealers that
they will can and preserve when
prices come down to reasonable
levels"
Mr.. Roberts said that reports from
producing areas indicate that while
farmers are receiving higher prices
than usual this year, they do not
receive anything approa aching
enough to Justify prices being
charged consumers in WASHINGTON"
The statement added:
Present prices tend to indicate
N,-"o NS"ASAo diC tdhlIlR ADVANTAGE
OF the widespread propaganda in
favor of home canning and preserv-
ing and the praiseworthy desire of
housewives to can and preserve
foods at this time, but prices will
soon drop If the housewives will take
firm stand against exhorbitant
prices.
When buying for home canning
ana preserving, it is wise to buy in
as large quantities at one time as
posslble-that is, by the standard
bushel basket or standard crate.
That will help reduce the price. and
1t will also help if housewives will
inform their dealers a day or two
IN advance of how much they will
need SO that he may order GUAM
titles for them without risk of un.
necessary waste"
Mr.. Roberts warned that house.
wives should not be swept off their
feet into buying until prices come
down. And they should make their
determination in that respect verv
clear to dealers who try to eouee
them"

The new vice chairman of the
newspaper committee of public
relations for the District Of Co.
lumbia Red Cross, Mrs. sergius

lady. She got her first Red Cross
experience working for the pro-
duction unit in Shanghai. China.
That was when her husband
NOW 4 1t. q. g. in the Navy was
in the Investment banking busi-
ness in the Orient, and there she
worked for eight months. Most
of the Americans had left, she
said, and the Red cross in
Shanghai was pitifully in need
of volunteers.
Those were exciting days in
Shanghai with talk of war be-
tween the United States and the
Japs both pro and con. 1t was
in April of 1941 that the Klotzes
left Shanghai ton the next to the
last Jap boat to leave there) and
went to Honolulu. Six weeks be-
fore Pearl Harbor they left Homo
lulu to return to the States-in
view OF all that has happened
since think what lucky Jumps
those two were!
Some of our friends were not
so lucky" Mrs. Klotz told US.
Many did not get out in time
and many have not been heard Of
since-both American friends and
British in Shanghai"
Mrs. Klotz was born and raised
In Evanston, Ill. When we in
quired about her schooling, she
replied that she hadn't had very
much because she got married
before she had even com oleted
her first year at the University of
Chicago.
She loves Washington and as
soon as she cameshere went right
into Red Cross work. She took
the staff assistance course and
has been working steadily for the
Red Cross for more than 4 year
now. She likes golf and riding,
but doesn't find much time for
them in war days.
The Klotz' apartment is on Six
tenth Street and is furnished
with some of the beautiful things
they brought from China-lovely
old leather Chinese brides chests,
lacquered tables and 4 collection
Of rare jades. Despite the fact
that she looks all pink and white
and golden-haired like 4 fairy
tale Princess, Mrs. Klotz can take
hold when she hasn't q maid
(which she says is most Of the
time) and turn out a home
cooked meal that fairly melts in
your mouth.

mon cause.
Speaking of Britain's 20-year
treaty with Russia, he declared, you
may be sure that we British are re-
solved to do our utmost to make
that good with all our strength and
national steadiness" He continued: /:
1T would not have been suitable
for Russia to be represented at this
Anglo American conference, which
apart from dealing with the imme-
diate operation of our intermingled
and interviewer armed forces in the
Mediterranean and elsewhere would
largely if not mainly be concerned
with heating and infiaming the war

government has a five-year treaty
of nonaggression.
Salute to Stain.
Mr. Churchill said Stain cannot
at present leave the Russian battle
front where he is directing offen-

ITO judge by the latest news, from
the Russian battlefronts, Marshal
Stain is certainly not wasting his
time.
"The entire British Empire sends
him our salute on his brilliant sum-
mer campaign and on the victories
Of Orel, Kharkov and Taganrog. by
which so much Russian soil has been
relieved and so many hundreds of
thousands of its invaders wiped
out"
Mr.. Churchill termed the Allied
strategy "the best that was open
to us in practical sense. 1t has
been bold and daring and has
brought into play against the enemy
the maximum effective forces that
could have been deployed up to the
present" in view of vast ocean
stretches, amphibious warfare and
the character of the armies
Personally, I always think of the
third front, as we'll as the second
front. I have always thought that
the Western democracies should be
like a boxer who fights with two
hands and not one"

Year Of War Traininq
Tor All U. 5. Youths
In Peacetime Urged
BY the Associated Press.

Chairman May of the House
Military Affairs Committee to-
day called for compulsory mill
tary training in peacetime with
the assertion that Uncle Sam
should carry big stick all the
i time just in case any of the
other big stick boys get ideas"
The Kentuckian said he would
: seek legislation to require every
d able-bodied male between II and q
to take full year of training, fol-
lowed up by periodic one-month re-
freSher courses
This would mean" he explained
In an interview, that we would
train about 100000 youths every
year, preferably as soon as they
] leave high school, The training
: would last an entire year and dur
ing that time the trainee would be
given an opportunity to keep up
with his studies SO he could enter
college without being rusty after
his year is up"
Under this program, he said a
wen-trained and competent reserve
force OF approximately 100000
young men could be built up in from
10 to Is years.
With such a reserve force, Mr..
May said, the size of the regular, or
standing, Army could be held to
approximately 100000 men.
Asserting he expected considerable
criticism of his plan from the paci-
fists" Mr.. May added:
Because there aren't so manv of
them now, the time for enactment
of such legislation is right now, not
after the war"
