Corcoran Cadets Reunion

Though it was the practice for many
years for a number of these organiza-
tions to hold annual reunions, yet, due
to death and disinterest, the practice is
now followed by only few, the Corcoran
Cadets being one of those that, over a
period of so years, is again planning to
hold Its usual reunion on Thursday Of
this week at the knights Of Columbus
Hall, 920 Tenth street NV, where rem
iniscences of We olden days will undoubt-
edly be the principal entertainment of
the evening.
The Corcoran Cadet Corps was first
organized in the spring of 1882 and rec
ognized on February %, 1883, which
makes it more than half century old
this month, from the latter date.
The original roster of charter mem
bers as printed some time ago contains
the following names: Capt. John Irwin,
Capt. C. E. Edwards, Capt. c. T. DAILY,

family's memory. Is there a noun
tain to climb, or a place to go
fishing? Nearly every town in the
east and south has some historic
ruin worth visiting. How about that

these interesting places,
GIVE TRIP PURPOSE
If the beach is your objective,
do not be satisfied with sitting
around watching the other people
sit around. Make a game of finding
the smallest shells-or the largest
or take the children down the beach
to dig clans or catch crabs.
If you are lucky enough to stay
overnight at the beach or some
camping ground, try to cook sup
per out of doors. In one article of
this series there are some sugges-
tons on this. Remember that you
always should have one fool-proof,
hearty dish on hand for such a
party. A can of beans-if you still
have one in your safe deposit vault
would be perfect. And if luck has
been with you that day you can cook
your clans or trout or crabs for
supper. That is vacation in it
self.
If Johnny is becoming an orintho-
logist, see how many different birds
or calls you can identify. You will
have to get up early for this. Nearly
any tree, even in big city, is likely
to have a bird in it-and maybe a
nest. If you live in the city where
there is a Natural History Museum,
visit it to see it's collection of birds
and animals. Later you and Johnny
will better be able to recognize the
live ones in the woods.

II you don't live where pleasure
driving is forbidden, did you save
your gas tickets for a day away
from home? II not, or If it bothers
your conscience to use them, plan
trip anyway by street, car, bus,
or on foot.
You will have to work this out
according to the nearby recreation
facilities, the age Of your children,
the state Of transportation. If your
children are very young you had
better make only a picnic of your
excursion. Leave home we'll after
morning rush hour and come home
early. If the children are older,
especially if Johnny is a Boy Scout
and Betsy a Camp Fire Girl, you
might take two Of three days and do
some genuine camping. There is
hardly a city or town in the country
that is not near some state or fed
eral picnic or camping ground-and
this year they will be even less
crowded than usual. Your local
paper or Chamber of Commerce can
tell you about such opportunities in
your neighborhood. You probably
will be amazed at how easy it is
to make such a trip, and how much
fun 1t can be.
If you have stored your car for
the duration and the local trans
port is begged down with war
workers, you can hike to picnic

All such bases might be placed
under the control OF a new world
organization which would guarantee
their use for the common benefit
and keep them out of the hands OF
future aggressors.
But the British admiralty might
also be expected to suggest that,
since it already is well installed and
fully capable Of operating such bases
in the common interest, 1t would be
more efficient TO permit the British
to do the job.
Dakar, on the West Africa bulge,
poses a similar problem. President
Roosevelt is on record against ever
permitting Dakar to be employed
again as, a threat against the West
ern Hemisphere.
1t is notable that neither Dakar
nor Tunisia has been the scene of
any French political agitation
Dakar still is run by French Resi-
dent General Pierre Boisson, assist
ed by an American naval mission.
Both Britain and the United
States are firmly against territorial
agrandizement. Both are equally
firm against allowing the world to
get into such shape as to make fu-
ture aggressive threats possible.
Therefore, the peace conference is
bound to face a decision as to
whether to adopt an idealistic ap-
proach or to follow the practical
precedents already in existence.

bring sweeping changes in the
French empire are focusing increas-
ing attention on the question Of
Africas postwar future.
There have been no announce

Italian colonies because of the in
sistence of President Roosevelt and

territorial questions shall be deter
mined before the end of the war.

pollyWogs in most pools or brooks
or nests under the rocks, or other
minute and fascinating creatures. A
handful of different kinds of MOSES
and ground berries can be brought
home and planted in a pie-pan gar
den. These will grow in most as
tonishing manner.
When you only want to get out OF
the backyard for while you can
organize a scavenger hunt. There is
no limit to what might happen
during such an event. Invite your
friends and their children to spend
the afternoon. Tell them to come
early. If the children are very
young, confine the hunt to the few
houses closest to your own. If they
are 10 or IL, you might let them go
farther afield.
AWARD PRIZES
Have the players hunt in pairs for
a specified list Of things. These can
include such items as an old felt
hat, knitting needle, the middle
name OF your most crotchety neigh
Dor and the license plate number
of the car parked down the block.
Three or four such will suffice for
the very young, eight or ten for the
others.
Have suitable prize ready for the
pair that first returns.
If you find it absolutely impos-
sible to get away, pretend you are
taking a trip anyway. Rig up
shower in the back yard. Pretend it
is Niagara Falls. 1t will cool you
off and highly entertain the chill
dren. Let this be your beach. Later
on, ask some of your special friends
over for an outdoor supper. Serve
them out of your Victory Garden.
And make a rule that anyone
who mentions steak will have to
weed row of beets.

Reform must begin at home. 1t
seems rather futile to have called
+ an International Food Conference,
when the whole country knows our
food policies at home are in a state
of chaos.
Like many other war policies that
governing food has not been sin
gle and clear policy. 1t was, and
still is a shifting, temporizing and
often conflicting development of po-
licies controlled and confused by
pressure group influences. 1t has
been nodded from shifting points of
view as 1t was effected BY
The competing needs Of the
Armed Forces.
Initiation and the consumer
standard Of living.
Labor and the wages in war in
dustries.
Civilian consumers.
The winning Of the war.
Since 1t is impossible and unde-
sirable while we are engaged in
global war to determine national
food policy with relation to all of
these interests, we urge that now
it be treated from the point of view
Of how food policy may best con-
tribute towards winning the war.
Let us attempt to sketch a con-
structive policy, which instead of
favoring any one of these interests,
will help them all to contribute of
their utmost towards winning the
fy1 %hn CT
Food Subsidies are government
payments made to encourage pro-
duction. AS they are paid entirely
out Of taxes, 1t is argued that they
do not directly increase the cost of
food to the consumer. 1t is, how
ever, improbable when "A million
Of personal incomes are taX-liable
that increase in taxes will not lead
to raise wages and hence to in
crease costs. To the extent that
food subsidies will lead to the ex-
penditure of billions of more dol
lars in cash the proposed policy Is
in itself an inflationary influence
To accomplish their purpose sub
sides should be paid only at the
point of production. In the simplest
terms they are an award made by
the government in wartime suffi-
cient in amount to encourage the
production Of what would otherwise
not have been grown under exist
ing ceiling prices.
There is no escaping the fact that
under subsidies the least efficient
producers will have to be paid the
most. Subsidies are direct reward
for inefficiency. 1t would require
a bureaucracy Of county agents to
administer them, and hence they
are loaded with the dangers Of po-
litical favoritism.
The fact that ;ubsidies have been
generally employed by foreign ma
tons at war, where the government
both buys and distributes most of
the foodstuffs, does not justify their
use here. 80 per cent of our pro-
duction Is under private enterprise,
and we distribute all of our own
food.
Under free en- prise, regulated by
prices established in an open mar
ket, those who can produce the
amounts required at the lowest price
get the business. Under a war con-
troll that which cannot be produced
at the lowest cost goes to the higher
cost growers, and the tax payers
make good the difference. The
subsidy system is obviously one
which is abhorrent to free compe-
tttion. 1t is to be allowed only in
wartime as a means to the end of
keeping the cost of living down, so
as to prevent rise of wages and
the consequent promotion of an in
f1ationary spiral Of prices.

Says Will Be
Enough Food For
Adequate Diets

War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones said recently that, on the av-
erage, farmers are meeting this
years production goals for field
crops. Earlier reports indicated
that livestock and livestock prod
ucts also will reach production
goals. Mr.. Jones said: I'VE will
have enough food in this country
given at least average weather for
the rest of the year-to give civil
ians adequate and healthful diets,
in addition to meeting military and
other essential wartime require
ments. This does not mean, Of
course, that there is any better
chance than appeared earlier for
having all the food that civilians
would like to buy, or that civilian
supplies for some individual items
will not be far below the demand.
For some important crops--in-
Guiding rice, oats, flaxseed, and
potatoes, estimated l943 acreags is
well above the years goals.
Acreage of corn, hay, barley,
grain sorghums, cotton, and tobacco
is about at the goals. Acreage of
sweet potatoes, dry field beans, pea
nuts, and sugar beets is below 1913
goals"

HEALTH
HINTS

Millions of pounds of meat milk,
eggs, and cheese are being shipped
abroad for our fighting men and
our allies. Meat and cheese are ra-
toned here at home. Government
officials are constantly checking on
the nations supply of protein Why?
There is only one reason, states
home economist Jessie Alice Cline,
and that lies in the determination
of the government to insure as far
as possible that every man, woman,
and child get the protein foods
their health requires. War condi-
tons have limited the supply Of
foods rich in protein and rationing
has been inaugurated to evenly
distribute protein foods among our
allies, our armed forces, and those
of us on the home front. The av-
erage adult man should have APP
proximately 85 grams of high quail
ity protein per day.
In our present vitamin-conscious
world, the need for protein is some
times overlooked. Yet protein is es-
sential building material for mus
cles, glands, nerves, bones, skin,
hair, nails, and all of the rest Of
the body tissues.
Meat is rich in protein. Be sure
your diet contains plenty of It.
