Just how eager our soldiers are
to get pictures OF girls from their
home town and how the photos are
pinned up everywhere so the beau
ty-starved boys can look at them
long and often, was expressed this
week in a letter received by the
Chronicle from a staff correspond
ent now in Italy.
Staff Sgt. James Sanders pens
the letter and writes:
Larry. Old Scout:
You should have trey Of "In-
side Italy" letters by the time you
receive this. II looks like the yarn
from now on will be quite diff
erent from the ones that I sent
you from my last station. This is
the real thing. Old Man. and 1t

now. They just don't arrive in Sc

that make? The big thing is they

is this: .--.
Some OF the other fellows who
receive the Michigan Chronicle
from home have clipped the pic
lures. One can find them on the
walls of tiny pup tents, the walls
OF bombed out buildings that serve
as billets. the inside of typewriter
cases, the panels OF vehicles and
the sleeve OF machine gun mounts
are all plastered with these pic
lures.
Why? Well, there are a lot OF
fellows who have begged their
wives and sweethearts TO send them
pictures. Said wives and sweet
hearts have not seen At 10 send
the requested pictures. The re-
suit is the boys clip the pictures
and keep them around to brighten
the weary hours After a long
minutes look at these pictures they
say III there was nothing else in

The whole thing Is made worse
by the fact that most OF the men
haven't seen over two or three coll
ored girls in year. Some have
seen none. During the early months
OF their foreign tour some Of them
could visit American Red Cross

Washington, oct. 1S-The full
lunch pail, an American tradition
probably can be maintained with
much less than the customary meat
supply. There Is concern over future
lack Of meat for war workers. War
Food Administrators plans foE
next year include emphasis on crops
for direct human consumption such
as beans, grains and oil crops, and
encouragement Of feeding for heavy
beef and pork production.
According to the Bureau Of HUI
man Nutrition, two pounds Of meat
weekly, supplemented with normal
amounts Of other foods such as milk,
eggs, beans and bread constitutes
200 per cent Of the necessary pro-
tein. The surplus one hundred per
cent Is required for completing the
niacin and thiamin quotas. which
are hard to get without the high
values Of meat.
With the added enrichment Of
bread and new-found high niacin
values In such things as peanuts,
meat requirements for making up
the essential vitamin quota, over
and above protein requirements,
possibly can be cut further. It has
also been found that the complete
protein values Of meat can be had
