What about the little fellow, the small
businessman, the salared individual, the

is deplorable. If in business. he has been
or is being liquidated. for while the cor

it, the small fellow because of rationing
and added expenses cannot continue in

As for the poor man with family,
how is he going to live? Scarcity of foods,
rationing regulations. ceiling prices.

Even when you diet to keep your

that means she has to keep long

"Often when / was freshman

saws Rae. But when you stand or
work all day, and especially when
uncertain hours may compel you to
work through meal time once in
while. you must learn to eat as
regularly as you can. / once skip
ped lunch, had to work late. and
tainted at dinner time. Since then.
I've made regular eating Rule One

Lunches needn't be fattening to

Compromise TAX PLAN

Next week, Congress is scheduled to
discuss the compromise pay-as-you-go TAX
plan which was reported out OF commit
tee after many fireworks.
What Congress does about the plan can
be largely determined by what the people
think Of the plan itself.
Briefly, the compromise proposal pro
vides for paying this years taxes as we
go. and during this year, next year and
the year following, to also pay off the
taxes for 1912. In other words, we go
currently over to the pay-asyou-go meth
cd. but as face-Saver to the admins
tration diehards, we also pay 1912 taxes
while the new pay-as-you-go plan gets
its initial start.
Specifically, this would appear that
the paying public came out of the argu-
ment on the short end of the stick. Orig
inally no plan provided for payment OF
more than one years taxes during any
one year Now it ends up with up paying
one and one-third years taxes during a
given year.
This may be fully offset by the applica-
ton of old rates to the tax base, so that
in the long run, John Taxpayer Is out no
more than he otherwise would be.
Whatever our conclusions may be, we
should be arriving at them so that Con
gress can know our satisfaction or dis
satisfaction. And in reaching conclu-
sions, may political prejudices be disre-
garded in favor of unbiased, sincere con-
sideration.

More and more surface craft ap-
peared. and people waved at us
from sampans and smaller boats.
We didn't wave back. With our
tremendous load of bombs and gas
oline, our speed was quite slow.
We were an excellent target, and
We were very much on edge.
Outside Tokyo we passed over
an airfield where twin-engine bomb
erS were lined up and pursuit planes
were warming up on the runways.
Bissell. our bombardier, wanted to
drop an egg on them, but we had
strict orders to stick to our speci-
fled targets.
Shortly afterward we saw a for
nation of five planes and thought
we were in for it. But they turned
out to be training ships.
About 20 miles east of Tokyo Bay
the AA batteries started firing at
us. The flax was very heavy, but
very inaccurate. They seemed slow
in getting the range. I dropped to
2O00 feet and deviated the course
up and down. and to right and left.
BY then I could sec Our target,
tank factory, very clearly. The
gunner was whopping and holler-
ing, and Parker, the co-pilot, would
let out war Whoop and a volley

CHANGING PROFILE

Ell Cantro's population profile is chang
ing. One by one. long established families
move away. There have been many de
partures since war began. And the trend
continues Originally the absences were
hardly noticed. Look back and recall
two and three years ago. 1t is startling
how many names and faces have dlSap-
peared.
With war here. vacancies are filled tenn
porarily by soldiers and wartime families
But when war ends, these people will go
back to their native homes.
Where will Ell Centro be then?
We should think about such things,
now.

Fresh vegetables - not rationed
and let's hope soon from your Vic
tory Garden - are the big eat
news in war kitchens. A new 67-
page booklet on how to grow vege-
tables. how to cook them, and how
to can them deserves attention.
Called Garden for Victory" it was
prepared by American Women's
Voluntary Services. Inc, National
Headquarters. New York. under
direction of Mrs. Addison S. Pratt.
Costs little and does a lot. Let's
look at green's recipes.
GREENS
Beet tops. chard, dandelion green's,
leeks, spinach, and similar green's
may be used in any of the recipes
for green's.
Examine all green's and wash
them carefully, discarding any
wilted or yellow leaves. Leave the
roots on for the first washing as
this makes the green's easier to
handle. then cut them off to allow
more thorough cleansing. Wash
in at least three waters. lifting the
greens out of the pan before empty

HOW WE BOMBED TOKYO

told Bissell to open the bomb bay
door, then flew straight and level
at 1900 feet. As each bomb dropped
a light flashed in the cockpit After
the fourth light l knew the door
was shut, and 1 kicked the ship
up and then did sort of wingover
down to the ground. AS we turned
l saw two bombs hit. Scott, the rear
gunner, had watched all four ex-
plode on the target.
Scott yelled that tracers were
coming by the tail. A pursuit plane
apparently had dived at us as we
came up, and was now below us.
Scott got a line on him and let
go with his two SOS when the pur-
suit was about 500 feet above us.
He rolled over on his wing and
disappeared. but we never knew ifs
we got him.

the Women
BY RUTH MILLETT

Parents can often ease the fear
and worry that accompanies the
sending of their young sons off TO
war if they find out just how their
boys feel about going, and then
try to sec the situation through
their eyes.
Most boys don't oread going into
the army at all Many of them look
forward to it eagerly-for a num-
Der of reasons.
They want to be in the fight.
Much as they love their parents.
they welcome the chance to be on
their own. to be entirely independ-
ent. They like the knowledge that.
though they are still kids" to
their mothers, they are men to
Uncle Sam.
Parents see only the danger and
hardships their boys will have to
90 through. They don't see the
opportunities, the adventure, the
chance it gives boys to become men
in hurry.
GET YOUTHS ANGLE
For that reason it is good idea
for the parents who have young
sons in service to see as much az
possible of other young men. III
they talk only to other parents,
they have only parents view
can't help but be a
one.
The younger and more forward
looking a parents attitude i'll war
time. the easier it will be for him
to have his son in the fight. SO
it is worthwhile trying to have a
young viewpoint. For at best, war
is plenty hard on parents of boys
in uniform.

MAN YOUR SHIP
