WILSON, ESHMAN
BATTLE TONIGHT
AT LEGION ARENA

A fight that Wilmington boxing
fans have long awaited takes
place tonight when Big Bill Will
son clashes with George Eschman
in the ten-round main event battle
On the ring card at the American
Legion Arena. The opening tiff on
the six-bout show will begin at
$3.50.
In stating that the glove fans
have long awaited this bout, this
corner means that the beak bust
ing patrons. have often wondered
how the devastating Wilson would
make out against the fancy, fast
stepping Echman. The only de-
feat of the sensational Wilson
career was to Buddy Scott, a
darling mittman along the lines
of Echman.
There has never been doubt
as to whether Big Bill carries a
hefty punch, especially after
watching him register knock outs
over such ring notables as Eddie
Nader. Jim Bowden and Joe Rem
niers. Boxing observers have
often speculated, however, on the
ability of Wilson to stand up
against a shifty, sharp-jabbing
fighter. Scott racked up his win
over betting Bill by managing to
steer clear of his TINT right hand
and consistently landing left hooks
to Wilson's head. AS Echman has
one of the best left hands in this
section, Big Bill seems in for a
stormy night.

FOOD IS WEAPON,
EXPERT DECLARES

The course and length of the
war may depend on how much
food we produce, how fairly we
share it, and how wisely we use
it, Miss Corde!ia Foster, nutrition
expert of the Tide Water Power
Co., said Wednesday in explaining
the governments Food Fights for
Freedom" campaign to the Kiwa-
MS club.
Food is deadly weapon, and
can save thousands of lives" Mrs.
Foster said.
Mrs. Foster said that contrary
to general opinion, only about Is
per cent of the nations current
food production is being diverted
to military or other non-civilian
uses. The military receives 10 per
cent, our Allies get 10 per cent,
our neighbors 2 per cent, and the
remainder is used at home.
She also minimized the net ex-
tent of lend-Iease food shipments,
saying that Australia and Ne W
Zealand have supplied our armed
;, forces in the Southwest Pacific
more beef that we have shipped
to our Allies.
Other food facts brought out by
Mrs. Foster included:
Most of the food we send to
Russia is going to the army, rath-
err than to civilians.
Compared with the average CT
william, an American soldier eats
about one and a half times as
much food.
About one-fourth Of our food sup
ply is wasted every year.
Keeping down food costs through
price control is important for the

incomes have not increased.
