By SGT. PHILLIP L. HUNT

Hats off to the automotive section
of the Ordnance whose members are
really doing their share of service
these days making two and three
trips wer week on detacher service.
After talking long distance over
the telepohne, Sgt. Oliver C. Sutton
trekked to San Antonio. Tev., to
continue his conversation. 'Tis rum
ored that he may wind up saying
L DO to lovely San Antonio coed.
Sgt. Willis j. Messiah returned
from furlough stating he had
grand time. Funny thing about
these furloughs, we always come
back to the Fort to rest. Speaking
of furloughs Cpl. Ned j. Elliott, our
company clerk, motored home on
furlough in time to be with his par
entS for Thanksgiving. I can i'm
agine how happy they were to have
their son home for that delicious
turkey dinner and family reunion.
That smile that you see Pvt. Sol
oman Blackshear wearing these
days is the result of being a proud
father of bouncing baby boy.
What Ordnance enlisted man is
mentally i'll now that certain WAC
is wearing ring on the third fin
ger left hand placed there by a
Buffalo?
News reached this office from
Phoenix, Ariz., that the title of the
song in which Sgt. Lewis Weather
all proposed to the new Mrs. Lewis
Weatherall was ed Like to Know
You Better" You never can tell
about these quiet fellows. What's
the quotation that says, "Still water
runs deep? The newlyweds expect
to go on their ohneymoon in the
near future. Congratulations,
Weatherall!
Basketball season will soon start.
To be exact, on Dec. 13. Cpl. John

spray of bronze NUNS.
The groom was attired in Army

the direction of Brig. Gen. H.
N. Gilbert, USA.
Congress recently amended
the Servicemen's Dependents
Allowance Act of 1912 to in
crease the amounts sent to army
wives with children and to certain
other dependents. The ODB, an ac-
tivity of the Army Service Forces,
was charged with the huge task of
converting the family allowance
from the old to the new amounts.
Whether or not it was to be a
white Christmas, Gen. Gilbert de-
cided that it was to be a secure one.
He galvanized his great war agency
into "a ohurS day action. In only
Is working days, 454,738 accounts
had been converted and checks in
the new amounts were mailed early
in December. These were virtually
all of the ODB accounts set up for
army wives with children only. Ac-
counts involving other dependencies
are now being converted.
Family allowances for Glass B-1
dependents, which included parents,
brothers and sisters who rely on the
solder for their chief support and
for Glass B dependents, who are
parents, brothers and sisters sub
stantiall ydependent upon the SOL
dier, must be individually adjudi-
Gated to determine the degree of de-
pendency This job is now under
way.
Family allowance accounts to di-
Vorced wives to whom alimony is
payable are also being reviewed and
converted. These require special
adjudication and therefore take
longer to process.
II wish to commend the ODB en-
ployeeS," General Gilbert said.
MANY of them worked many extra
hours to accomplish this job of con-
verting active Glass A family allow
ance accounts. I am sure they will
all feel sense of satisfaction in
knowing that their efforts will mean
a Merrier Christmas in thousands of
soldiers homes this year"

When was child, spake as a
child, I understood as a child, I
thought as child; but when be-
came a man, put away childish
things. - The same should ap-
ply to good soldier. When one en-
ters the Army, one ceases to be a
civilian and becomes a soldier. And,
above all things, man should act
like a soldier, dress like a soldier
and walk like soldier. If one does
not possess these qualities, he will
never make a good soldier.
You cannot choose your battlefield,
The generals do that for you, -
But you can plant standard
Where standard never flew.
Think what you will, but have will
enough to keep some of your
thoughts to yourself.
That's all, folks, until next week.

You may be assured of the faith

Most Of the grocers interviewed.
however. did not subcribe to the
view that the rationing system
would drive the small grocer out of
business. They said it would re-
duce the business of all impartiallv.
One man, who said he had a SON.
just under two years old, declared
mothers would have difficulty OBJ
tanning enough food for young
children. His child. he pointed
out, eats three cans of chopped food
a day. OPA set a value of two
points per can on the food. The
rate would represent 180 points
month, or nearly four times the 48
points per capita allotment.
1t was suggested to the grocer
that mothers would have to prepare
the food. He replied that he did
not believe there would be enough
fresh foods to go around.
Mothers who rely on canned
strained foods to satisfy infant ap-
petiteS also will have short rations.
The average baby. grocer said.
consumes two cans of strained foods,
on which OPA placed a value of l
point each per day. Over a month
this represents so points, or IL more
than the ration
A chain official declared he did
not see how it would be possible to
increase rations if the Governments S
figures as to supply are correct. He
pointed out there are only 10000, 900
cases of food year available for
| distribution now, as compared tc
normal consumption of 10000 900
cases.
The official, who represents one
of the Capitals largest chains, de-
clared he did not think any one
would go hungry under rationing
He said there were still a large
number of items on grocery shelves
which may be substituted for the
processed foods. In addition, there
are fresh fruits, vegetables and
meats. The supply of meat in the
| neighborhood market, he predicted
will be more plentiful when OPA
launches its meat rationing pro-
gram, expected about April /.
The Government will have to in
/ crease greatly the amount of tin and
other container material available
for canning if the huge amounts of
highly seasonal foods expected to
be produced this year are to be
| saved, one official declared.
He pointed out that only limited
amount of seasonal and highly
| perishable food can be brought to
| market in fresh form. If the food
Is not canned it must be thrown
| away. BY canning, use can be made
OF ripe goods which cannot be
| placed in markets fresh.
| Il am not sure the Government
will accomplish its purpose of dis
trlbuting food equitably unless the
amount of food to be canned is in
creased greatly he declared. "Un-
der the present canning program
there is bound to be huge amount
of wastage. The country will not be
able to stand for this in these DAYS
OF short labor supply and greatly
increased demand for food. not only

BALTIMORE. Feb. %. - James
Shaw, 85-year-old shipbuilder who
helped Simon Lake construct his
first submarine, died in his sleep
yesterday at his Baltimore home
Mr. Shaw, a native of Manches-
ter, England, and the son of ship
builder, was one of the small crew
which helped young Simon Lake
when the then unknown inventor
was overcoming financial and tech
nical difficulties to produce his sub
mersible in the late nineties.
Mr.. Shaw worked on the she'll
plating of the vessel and it was his
suggestion, he often recounted. that
led Lake to make the ship so feet
longer than was originally planned.
