Black Market
Gasoline
Jails Many

Fifty persons have been senten-
ced by the courts this year to at
least a year in jail in the fight
against the black market in gaso-
line according to the Office of
Price Administration. Two hundred
and thirty-six others were jailed
for shorter periods.
OPA said the enforcement record
from January l to June l shows
that considerable Roadway is being
made in rounding up the criminals
at the top Of the black market rings
that at one time were siphoning off
an estimated 100000 gallons a day,
or about five per cent of the civil
liam gasoline supply.
Arrests of counterfeiters, ped
oilers and gas dealers handling stol-
en- or counterfeit coupons since the
first of the year totaled 1852. OF
these 607 have been tried and con-
victed More than a third of the
COZ, OPA said, went to jail, SO of
them for year or more
More than $50 filling stations
have put themselves out of bust
ness, OPA records show, by MAX
ing repeated sales Illegally, while
1888 others selling gasoline with
out valid coupons were denied the
right to buy or sell further for
periods ranging from a few weeks
to the duration of the war
Some car owners, too, get into
trouble OPA reports that 159 were
convicted of buying gasoline with
stolen or counterfeit coupons, or
without any coupons. OF these %

water. If these minerals were
colored, you could see them in the
water, just as you can see the red
color in beets in water in which
they are washed or soaked.
Cooking In Too Much Water:
Minerals and vitamins soak even
more in the water in which we
boil vegetables If we throw away
this water, we lose our minerals
and vitamins. Vegetables should be
cooked in just enough water to pre-
vent sticking.
Cooking Too Long: This is still a
common error. Long boiling spoils
flavor and destroys some vitamins.
Vegetables look better, taste bet
ter, and have more fod value if
we cook them until tender. Raw
cabbage and tomatoes contain much
vitamin c., but if kept simmer
ing on the stove an hour or two
all this will be destroyed.
Adding Soda: Do not make them
tended" If they are not too old
and are properly prepared, they
will be tender. The added soda
brings out the green color of vege-
tables, but it, also, knocks out
vitamins b and G.

Nutrition Notes
Medora L. Reed, Negro Home Dem
onstration Agent

Lost: Valuable minerals and vita
minis somewhere between the gar
den and the table.
Has your food, before it gets to
the table, lost most of the vitamins
and minerals? AS it is grown in the
field or garden it contains import
ant minerals and vitamins. Often
these are lost before we eat the
food. Below are some of the main
reasons:
Over Refining of Foods: We AM
orleans like to use refined foods.
Such foods have lost much of their
food value. When wheat is made in
to flour and the darker parts taken
out so that we have ''fin white"
flour, and has better baking quail
tiles, we destroy valuable food
substances, which nature stored in
the wheat. We then, feed parts re-
moved to the cows, pigs, and chick
ems. Should they be better fed than
we, human beings? White sugar,
white syrup, white cereals are 9TH
er examples of over refining.
Whole wheat flour, whole grain
cereals, molasses and sorghum syr-
up contain valuable minerals and
vitamins. Enriched" flour is
white flour to which have been
added iron, vitamin B and niacin,
which were lost when the brown
part of the flour was removed.
Aging and Whiting: When we al
low vegetables to become too old
and wilted, we lose food value.
Vitamin &C" is lost when wilted,
also. If W gather or buy them fresh
and keep them cold, this will not
happen. Freezing or proper canning
of fresh vegetables will save most
of their minerals.
Soaking: Several minerals in
fresh vegetables are soaked out by

Service Men To
Get More Gas
While On Leave

A new policy on granting gaso-
line rations to members of the arm
ed services on leave or furlough
was announced by Chester Bowles,
administrator of the Office Of
Price Administration.
Effective July rs, 1874, a member
of the armed services on leave or
furlough for a period Of three days
or more win be entitled 10 one
gallon Of gasoline for each day Of
his leave or furlough up to a maxi
mum Of 30 gallons. The new rule
replaces one ranting q fiat five gall
Ions to every member o. the armed
services o. leave, furloueh or pass.
regardless Of the length Of the
leave.
Il has become evident that the
old policy. which resulted in giving
much more gasoline TO a member
q the armed forces who got many
short leaves than TO one who re-
ceived one long one. was unfair to
the man serving out Of the country
and returning after a long absence.
To eliminate this unfairness. the
new rule tailoring the amount of
the ration to the length of the
leave or furlough was worked out
by OPA in conjunction with repre-
sentatives of the army and the
navy.
Furlough rations will now range

tons of IT'S others were revoked
by local ration boards.
OPA said it has only an estimated
400 investigators to fight the black
market nationally and must rely
for help on state and local enforce
ment agencies. Secret Service and
the Alcohol Tax unit of the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue assist
where they can and prosecution

Add a Message

/ suggest as the best plan
that you address the card TO
the wife, and then on the card
itself write an inclusive" mes
sage to be relayed to the hus-
band.
For example, something like
this: Christmas wishes TO you.
And please. in your next letter
TO Joe, send him Bills and my
friendliest greetings, every good
wish to him, and the high hope
of his return soon. What hap
pineSs it will be when we can
all meet again in joyous re-
UNION! My last letter from Bill
was from England l believe
you have his address and he'd
love 10 hear from you"
Such friendly note will
serve two purposes; a Christ
mas message 10 your friend and
a greeting-card that the wife
can enclose with her next letter
to her husband.

How TO Address Cards

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
When Christmas cards are 10
be sent to married persons, is it
proper to address them to both
the husband and the wife, even
though you know only one of
them? Will you please also
explain this question as it APP
plies TO business friends or ac-
quaintances?
c. T. B.
Socially, yes, it is proper TO
address a card TO both the hus-
band and the wife even though
you know only one of them. In
other words. you apply the
same rule you would if you
were sending formal invitations
or announcements. And, if YOU
are married, the card should be
signed with your name and
your husbands Tor wife'S)
name.
This rule of the social world
may properly and courteously
be followed in most cases in
the business world. Let's say,
for example, that you would
like 10 send a Christmas card
10 Mr.. Brown, who is a bust
ness friend of yours, and whom
you would very much like to
have your husband Tor wife,
meet. This friendly relation
ship suggests that the natural
and gracious thing 10 do is TO
send your card addressed to
MIR. and Mrs. John Brown" at
their home address, and to sign
ii with your name and your
husbands Tor wife's) name.

it is our aim to have the best look
ing day room and mess hall in the
ON group. Members of the motor
shop have taken hint also and
during the past few weeks TIA ]. D.
Anderson and T/Sgt Carl Anderson
have had crews busy polishing UP
the immediate area around the shop.
PROMOTIONS list is late,
but let us give credit where credit
is due. Before taking his leave the
company commander ordered the
following promotions. Promoted to
the grade of corporal: Pies. Walter
Clarke, Luke Erlbanks, Percy Jen-
kins and Louis Wharton; to be TI5s
Pies. Mckinley Avery Charles Eel
der and William Flowers; to be Pics.
Pvt. Freeman Battle, Harold Curtis.
Harold Logan, Louis Morris, Clifton
Murray, Ezra Scoggins, Stanley Ste
wart, Herbert Tappins. Anthony Will
loughby, Dennis Spruill and Wilbert
Woods. Our congratulations to the
newly promoted and wishes for con-
tinued success.
MlSCELLANEOUS-No, that isn't
the Police Department cruising the
ON area every night. It's the new
system of guard duty installed by
headquarters. This new system is
working splendidly and most Ger
tainly meets with the approval of
the sentinelS.
TWO weeks ago several men left
the company quite unexpectedly.
They probably will never read this
column. but, if chance so permits.
We want them to know that we wish
them all the luck in the world.
IN HOSPITAL-The following men
were recently admitted to the hos
pital: PvtS. Joseph Tolivar, Sincere
Cole and Rayfiel Rogers. We wish
to extend our best wishes for
speedy recovery. Cpl. William Moore
returned to duty after a brief stay
in the hospital
Pvt. James Hurd was transferred
to the Air Corps last week and We
wish him lots of luck. A few other
men are, harboring hopes of follow
ing in his footsteps.
Our military duties have kept
us from the post this week and we
don't think we will be able to make
next weeks deadline. Wen do our
best, but you'll understand if we
miss the edition. So long
