Past Exalted Ruler Gunderson very carefully performed the duties of Exalted Ruler, Past Exalted Rulers Fisk, Hanford, and Nolan filled other chairs in the lodge Bro. Os- terman seems to know just when to arrive, and that is just before lunch. We have so many Bros. leaving us for awhile that only the good ones are left. We regret to state that our secretary Bro. Joel Wing is pulling stakes and has re- signed We wish to thank him for the good work and the great amount of time he has given us. We really hate to see him go. forget to mention Bro. Aardal who left weeks ago on the Shrimp Now we have Bro. Moore on the absent list and I don't know the others.
 Everyone really played whist last evening. You never saw such scores except Bro. Chet Steears. How can a man so large get such low score. And to think Bro. Curtis winning high. They say he practiced in Pe- tersburg. Mrs. Val Coulter took high and again Mrs. Newman was low. Pm beginning to believe she plays for low. Mrs. Osterman, Mrs. Betty Cunningham and Bro. Oar Smith served a fine lunch. I've quit eating at home on Thursday be- cause we have such grand lunches in the evening. I would rather have them earlier for I eat so much my sleep is ruined I've also noticed some of the others groan little after lunch. Bro Fred Cunningham always eats near the kitchen and with the cooks. He gets served twice that way. We all say the lunch was very good and we give a hearty thanks to the cooks Bro. Oar Smith doesn't deserve any thanks for the scors he gave we didn't win. Bro Joel Wing received a small remembrance from the par ty. Everyone hates to see Joel leave

 you are going to hear a lot
 about the pay-as-you-go income
 tax bill Jack Stinnet, Washing
 ton correspondent for The Sem
 tinel explains what it is, why
 it has been proposed, and the
 objections being raised to it in
 the following article.)
 By Jack Stinnett
 WASHINGTON The new Con- gress is America's mine-field. There are potential explosions almost any way you turn. But one that is al- most certain to come off is the pro- posal to black out 1922 personal in come taxes and start over on a pay as-you-go basis.
 Storm center of this proposal is the Capper-Carlson bill now already in committee pigeon-holes in both the House and Senate and assured of immediate action because both chambers are aware that something must be done before March 15-if anything is to be done at all.
 Rep. Frank Carlson (R.-Kans.) in introducing the bill in the House, emphasized his debt to Beardsley Ruml, New York City financier, author of the "Ruml plan" Sena- tor Capper introduced the same bill in the Senate. The Capper-Carlson bill is the Ruml plan in legislative language.
 It is essential to get the taxpayer on a current basis, MT. Carlson said. There are only two ways of accom- plishing that" he continued. "Eith- CT we can advance the tax payments one year-in other words move the tax clock ahead-or secondly, we can collect two years taxes in one year or over period of years. There are legitimate objections to either of those plans.
 The Capper-Carlson bill would move the tax clock ahead-abolish the 1922 income tax indebtedness entirely and start the country's now 27,00O,000 income tax payers on a current payment basis.
 Unfortunately" says MT. Carl son, many of our people have been led to believe that by setting the in- come tax clock a year ahead, they wouldn't be obligared for payment of current taxes. Everyone must realize that our federal treasury must have more tax revenue, mol less"
 The Capper-Carlson bill is sim- plicity itself, so far as the taxpayer is concerned. It provides: CD For. getting all about tax payments on 1942 income; (2) Starting immedi ately this March 15 on nine-a-yeaI fDatafiments on taxes an taeanat

AN OPPORTUNITY TO play a
vital part in winning the war
and at the same time receive
training for a postwar position
is being offered to patriotic
American women by the United
States government.
Under the sponsorship OF the
Army Air Forces Central Pro-
curement District. a 10-week
course in aircraft inspection
technique will begin at the Uni
versity Of Michigan in Ann
Arbor, Monday, May 10.
Men and women between the
ages of n and as, in good gen.
eral health and with a high
school education or its equiva-
lent are eligible for the course.

Grow Your Own

For one thing. there is evil
dence Of vitamin G deficiency.
The richest sources of this Vita
min are the citrus fruits and
tomatoes, and they are not al
ways easy TO get. Even during the
past winter il was hard for us 10
stretch a limited budget for lib
eral amounts OF oranges and
grapefruit.
Those of US who have Victory
Gardens can guard against vita
min c shortage by planting to-
matoes and canning them. They

WITH THE food scarcity, ra-
tioning and high prices, you
might think there is not much
use in trying TO make the diet
measure up TO the nutrition
yardstick. But shortages of food
must not mean a lower nutrition
standard. To counterbalance the
shortages we will have TO apply
the science of nutrition TO meal
planning as never before.
BY careful planning we can
avoid the dietary deficiencies
that might arise. England has
been ahead of us and the expert
ence there should be a great
help.
In general, the nutrition re-
ports are favorable and il is
recognized that they have done
a very efficient job in handling
the food situation. Nevertheless,
as pointed out by the British
Medical Journal and reported in
our nutrition reviews, some
dietary deficiencies have shown
up after the three years of war.
We must work 10 avoid these
and knowing what 10 expect
should guide US.

safely canned by the boiling hot
water method.
Substitute Others
When there is a shortage of
any food, every source Of the
essentials il contributes become
important. Fresh strawberries,
raw cabbage, apples, parsley,
green pepper and potatoes cooked
in their jackets all furnish some
OF this Vitamin.
Reports show an increase Of
ricketts, in England, particularly
among breast-fed babies whose
mothers had not received Vita
min d. We have plenty of cod
liver oil and there should be no
rachetic babies here.
Since the start of the war in
England the hemoglobin level
among women and children has
dropped. So that won't happen
here we should make better use
Of the meat organs because these
glandular meats are high in
available iron.

Don't Sell Short

Give the family liver loaf, beef
and kidney stew or pie. brased,
stuffed heart, and brains, scram-
bled with eggs. Serve these meat
organs a couple Of times a week.
They are all good. 1t is the
homemaker who ciings 10 the
familiar and popular meats that
are high in points who is most
apt 10 sell her family short on
nutrition.
And serve a green leafy vege-
table, a green salad and whole
grain bread and cereal every
day. And try 10 give each MEM
Der Of the family an egg a day.
All these foods are high in
minerals and vitaminS.
We are going 10 have to apply
nutrition all along tho line 10
prevent deficiencies. BY doing
that we can actually raise our
standard in spite OF all the short

One of the best ground covers
in poor soil or in deep shade is
the ordinary myrtle or vinca.
This comes in several varieties

an improved form and has
larger. darker blue flowers or

Can't Find
A Substitute

BY HELEN ROWLAND

WAR IS something that drives

Some young people feel that
they cannot part without first

and others feel that everything

hapS a fatal mistake.

Still Msrrises
Fortunately. so long as men
are men and women are women,
you can't junk marriage! The
human instinct TO want and TO
seek life mate, especially in
times like these, is as strong
and indestructible as the human
instinct TO want and 10 seek a

You don't have 10 model your

You can please yourself. You
can take your marriage straight

one OF you on the war front and
the, other on the home front.

The point is that marriage
can't be passed over or Abol-

Men may change. women may

But you can never abolish any
