BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Former owners of lands taken
over by the Army for war purposes
will be given every consideration
but no preference in repurchasing
the lands when the Army is through
with them, Senate Minority Leader
McNary has been advised
Senator McNary had asked the
War Department about lands now
used by the Army in Oregon.
Brig. Gen. Wilton B. Persons,
commander of the Army's legisla-
tive and liaison division, replied
that the department, when it took
over the lands, paid the owners "the
equivalent of the fair market value
at that time.
The former owners" he con-
tinued, will be given equal oppor-
tunity to repurchase the land at
prices rejecting fair market value
and this department will make every
effort to prevent spectators or
holding companies from taking ad-
vantage of the prior owners and
the general public"

And who isn't these days, brim-
ming over with wartime activities?
All types Of workers--clerical, in
dustrial, professional, and others
may be seen carrying a variety Of
lunch neutrality-suspicious. 1t be the
conventional lunch box with Their
mos, paper bag, or dinner pail"
Each OF us is concerned in this
business Of better food for every
one. OF all the ways Mrs. Amer
lea can serve her country none Is
more important than feeding her
family properly, for, after all, the
family Is the home front. OF the
three meals in the day, lunch Is the
homemaker's biggest problem. And
right now 1t offers more worries
than usual, for lunchtime can be
practically any time, since work
shifts In factories are responsible
for the drastic meal-hour changes
In many households. Lunches, eaten
at home with part Of the family
absent, or packed to be eaten on the
Job, are easily sighted In kind and
amount Of food. II lunch Is sighted,
the total days meals usually fail to
meet the measurements Of the daily
meal guide. The packed lunch must
be considered as one Of the regular
meals, not as q makeShift pickup.
Form the habit OF checking the
family lunches against our Guide
for Packed Lunches"
Some workers may be able to sup
plement their carried lunch at or
near their place Of employment.
Many factories and many large Of
ceS provide facilities where milk
and sometimes hot food may be
purchased. Obviously, the easiest
things to carry are sandwiches and
fruit, cookies or cake, which may
be supplemented with the purchase
OF the hot dish and milk. For in
stance, you might carry raw vege-
table as carrots, tomatoes, or celery,
with buttered rolls, and purchase a
hot main dish and milk. Another
suggestion Is TO carry cheese sand
wich ard apple, and buy cream soup
and ice cream or cuStard.
Planning and preparedness, as
usual, are the secrets to success.
Keep lunches In mind when shop
ping and cooking. Buy enough meat,
for example, so that some will be
left over for the lunch box next
day. During today'S food prepara-
tons, extra celery and lettuce
with tomorrow'S lunch In mind, as
well as make extra servings Of des-
sert. Always buy enough raw vege-
tables as well as oranges, apples,
and other fruit to allow for lunch
needs. Take a lesson from jiffy-
service lunch counters and arrange
everything you need for preparing
this meal In one place. Lunches will
cease to be dreaded II you keep near
your lunch making space, paper
napkins and cups for salads and
desserts, wrapping materials, COW
cred jars, thermos bottle or a sup
ply Of paper bags.
The home front kitchen has be-
come the base Of operations for the
most strategic behind-the lines drive
for physical fitness and stamina.

from local police and complaints
filed by civilians, 1t seems obvious
that an increasing number Of motor
vehicles continue In use after hav-
ing been involved In traffic conflict
which caused car damage that was
not properly repaired.
'While O motor car with dented

necessarily a defective vehicle. there
can be little argument with our

involved should be checked to en-
sure that no substantial damage to

I'VE are not satisfied with Con-
neeticut's traffic accident record for

Of 49l.6 conflicts per 100 million
miles Of motor travel Is too high,
considering current events. While
this rate Is slightly lower than for
l94l, Il Is higher than for 1910
when our country's welfare did not
