About the House
By Marfarst NousU

hour In the country q generation
ago, when friends drove many q
mile for an hours visit, and took
their departure, well fortified, for
the cold trip home at dusk.
With very little time OF from war
business for the holidays, a buffet
supper will be both a restful and
pleasant way to entertain guests. A
simple, easy-to-serve menu is best,
30 that there is time to get ac-
|quainted again with old friends. II
yours Is an informal household set
10 colorful board with checked table
cloth, wooden salad bowls and dishes
|of pottery. Use fruit, colorful vege-
tables and nuts for decoration and
make comfort and hospitality the
keynote Of the party.
This dependence on friends, and
|graciousness to friends, was what
made Christmas" in the days when
distance separated families and
visits were few and far between. It
Is one Of the things most Of us miss
In these days when unbreakable
schedules and high nervous tension
are almost universal. It is the one
thing we can do and give which is
pleasant to both the giver and the
receiver. It takes no essential COM
modify and its spiritual value is
unlimited.
Plan to have your house put its
best foot foremost this year and
remain in the minds of your family
and friends as the different"
Christmas that was the most salts
factory of all.

ANA Finally
Moves on
Medical Care
Plan for Medical
Service To All People

CHICAGO, June 20 (FP)-Re-
acting to pressure by labor groups
and liberal organizations, the
American Medical Association is
now going ahead with plans for
providing more adequate and COM
plete medical service to all people
in all communities of the nation.
This is the first recognition the
ANA has given to demands that
it drop its reactionary policy of
fighting group health plans and
government support of health Sc
curity measures.
At its annual meeting here a
Council of Medical Service and
Public Relations was organized to
develop a program for postwar
medicine in the United States.
Whether this committee will
serve as a blind for anti-group
health moves remains to be seen.
However, the United States Su-
preme Court has upheld the con-
viction of the ANA on a charge
of restraining operations of the
Group Health Association, medi-
cal cooperative, in violation of the
Sherman antitrust law.

WAGE INCREASES DEMANDED

NEW YORK (FP)-Wage in

explaining contract details to the
executive board Of the Screen Car
toonists Guild.
As reported to the rank and file
b, The Animator, the locals paper,
O'Rourke "took it upon himself to
criticize the aid and comfort that
the union is giving the govern
ment."
The cartoonists have set up a
story board in their union to work
out new approach in the tech
nique of selling war bonds from
the screen. This grew out of a dis
cussion with Treasury Dept. repre-
sentatives, and if the solution of
the union cartoonists is approved
a commercial producer will prob
ably get the job Of making the
picture.
Anti-Axis, Cash
"Mr. O'Rourke is opposed to
this" The Animator said. "He said
that the government has plenty of
money and no one should do any,
thing for the government for moth
ing"
O'Rourke's boss is not the only
producer making films for govern
ment agencies. But the Disney lot
has been humming since the war
started and it is frequently stated
that most of its activity is nom
profit work. Apparently every
little non-profit job counts.
Screen Cartoonists recently pro-
duced gratis an animated cartoon
to help explain the point ration
ing system, thus depriving some
deserving producer of a cost-plus
deal. The film was much simpler
in technique than the standard
Hollywood cartoon, and yet was
bright and gave clear exposition
of complicated subject. This
may be the rub rather than the
mere loss of a 1919 margin on a
payroll now and then. Suppose the
discovery is made that effective
cartoons could be turned out for
1s to 1 40 present costs!
For example, Canada has a car
toon genius named Norman Mac
Claren who makes an entire pic
ture single-handed, drawing di-
rectly on the film. His pictures
are primitive by Hollywood stand

WIN ONE
BY Pinch Hitter

AS predicted here the Local IL Federation team finally
came UP with win in its last game of June 20 1t
hard fight though and required extra innings and two huers
to turn the trick
The Red Cabs the victims of the CIO victory and
the sterling wrng of dauntess Bob Burart who replaced
AL Vnson in the fifth inning and toed and sweat and swore
nder his breath until the 14h inning when Buzz Shanteau
came his by driving in the winning in the per-
of Manager Ralph Mason. Buzzs hit double came with
the bases loaded.
The Red Cab first baseman dove wildly into the dust
and came up with handful of dust, and the ClO came
through with their first win of 1943.
That just goes to show it can be done.
1t was bad day for the umpires Every decision was
close one, and result the jumps in hot water on
hot day at hotter Merrill Field where the titanic struggle
took place before several hundred spectators The other fans
were out under hotter tent feeding peanuts to Cole Bros

Packing House Leader
Urges Public Boycott
OF Black Markets
Thomas E. Wilson Says
Continuation Of Illegal
Borter Will Hurt Army
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 17-Civilian bov-
colt of illegal markets in meat is
urged by Thomas E. Wilson, one of
the packing industry's leaders, who
says that black markets in meat are
growing into an extremely serious
matter" for the entire industry and
public, and threatening adequate
supplies for the Nations armed
forces and Allies.
The first step toward stamping out
this terrible practice" is to have
every consumer refrain from buying
illegally slaughtered and Illegally
priced meats, according to Mr..
Wilson, who as chairman of Wilson
& Co. heads one of the worlds
largest meat packing firms.
This move is necessary, Mr.. Wilson
told stockholders at their annual
meeting yesterday, even if there is
no other meat available for the
consumer, who, with the wholesaler
and retailer, must cooperate to
eliminate the black markets.
Mr.. Wilson said the black market
has assumed large proportions"
and he believed a factor ''is the
misunderstanding Of the laws by the
consumer"
1T is difficult at times for the
housewife to know when she is deal
ing in a black market, but she
should notice when prices are out
of line and refuse to buy. Black
market prices usually are 10 to Is
cents a pound above legal ceiling
prices, he said.
The packing official said that
Washington officials "are beginning
to sense the danger of the black
market" and he was satisfied that
the Federal Government eventually
will stop most illegal activities by
strict enforcement Of quota and
ceiling regulations.
IF this black market is taken
out of the regular trade channels
it means that packers with war
contracts cannot fulfill their re-
quirements for the armed forces
and lease-lend, that even fighting
men might 60 hungry" Mr.. Wilson
said.
