"SERET" PUBLICIZED
Use of Ascension as a u. S.
air base has been one of the
Armys worst kept secrets.
When Gen, George c. Marsh
all's biennial report was issued
last summer, il revealed that
u. S. troops were then station
ed in some 80 foreign countries
and island possessions. On a
map accompanying the report,
showing where all these places
were, the name OF little Assem-
sion stood out prominently in
the South Atlantic. A legend in
dictated that U. S. troops had
been stationed there sin e

Everything in the Marshall
report was supposed to be off

record, but efforts TO learn more
about What- went on al Ascen-
sion met with flat refusals.
Ascension was supposed 10 be
very huSh-huSh operation and
the Air Transport Command
didn't want anything said about
il. Even though the marshall re-
port had lifted the lid and even
though anyone looking at a
map could guess what il was
being used for, still even the
simplest announcement about a
L. S. base on Ascension had to
be kept secret

PUB BOUNDARY

United Press Staff Correspondent
Pettigo, Co. Donegal, Fire, July
20 (UP)-The village of Flurrybridge
in County Antrim has its southern
half in northern Ireland and its
northern half in the Free State to
the south, but Pettigo beats that.
This village in the highlands of
Donegal has a pub. the bar whereof
is in the Free State while the pro-
prietors' quarters in the rear are
in Northern Ireland. Since the Free
State, neutral, has no blackout the
public room can blaze with lights
at night while the backrooms must
observe warning Northern IrelandS
blackout.
1t makes little difference today
because it is hardly dark in this la
titude through the summer until
midnight by either the clock in the
Darkroom or the one in the bar,
which is an hour slower than the
one in the Darkroom. And even by
the slower clock the pub long since
has closed at midnight.
All this requires some explaining
The boundary line between the Free
State and Northern Ireland follows
the River Termon through Pettigo,
cutting the village of $50 persons in
half and causing a number of oddi-
ties.

also by Brennan'S and Floods hotels

cigarettes, drinks or anything else

The answers are, first, that the
situation is mostly wartime, with the

to war taxes; second, that The Ang-

A challenge to meal planners to
include the Basic Seven" each day
was given by Helen L. Johnson, nu-
tritionist of the Bureau of Child
Hygiene, in the Weekly Bulletin of
the State Department of Health. Ac-
cording to this new food guide, pre-
pared by the federal government,
there are seven groups of foods
which should be included in our
meals daily to assure us of meeting
our food requirements. In wartime,
emergency measure are often nee
essity, and this is true of food as
well as other items. There will be
times when we may find difficulty
in obtaining foods from one or an
other group, but in spite of this,
Miss johnson urged the use OF
these basic seven" as often as pos
sible because they are vital to the
health of every person.
Group One include the green and
yellow vegetables, raw or cooked,
wild or cultivated. These supply i'm
portant amounts of minerals and
vitaminS.
Group Two includes the vitamin
erich foods - oranges, grapefruit,
tomatoes or raw cabbage and other
salad greens. When oranges and
grapefruit are not readily available,
tomatoes, strawberries, muskmelon,
cantaloupe and raw green peppers
can be used in season. One of these
foods should be eaten each day
