IN MEMORIAM
GUY w. BADGER

In loving memory of Guy W.
Badger, who passed away one
year ago, June Is, 1913:
Sad and sudden was the call,
Of one so dearly loved by all;
A bitter grief, a shock severe,
It was to part with one so dear.
We did not know the pain you
had,
We did not see you die,
We only know you went away,
And neevr said goodbye.
Time speeds on, one year has
passed,
Since death, it's gloom, its shad-
oWS cast,
We miss you and always will,
Your vacant place, there is none
to fill.
Gone and forgotten by some you
may be,
But dear to our memory you will
ever be.
Loving sister, Winnie, and
Family.

u. S. NAVY

The following poem was writ
ten by Mrs. Luther Powers, of
Lansing, and dedicated to Seaman
Second Class Paul j. Barr, U. S.
Navy, stationed at Fort Pierce,
Florida:
I heard a Gala call to go
Altho my age was very low.
It's not so hard as it may seem,
That I'm but boy of seventeen.
My Dad, a major, brave and true,
In World War One, of World
War Two;
My brother, too, as you may know,
Will need some help and / must
go.
Upon ship I'll take my stand,
And help my buddies safely
land;
Some one must brave the tide and
foam
To bring our heroes safely home.
The Stars and Stripes were for
me,
I'll keep them flying on the sea;
My uniform you know is blue,
I'm sure I'll fill it and be true.
All on the deck about is seen,
Some clad in brown, some in
green;
They are my comrades, brave and
true,
AS we that wear the suit of blue.
When all are ready then to sail,
I'll keep the watch and never
fail;
So many lives would be at stake
If I should fail my part to take.
I'll be on duty day and night,
. In honor to the Stars and Stripes
I'll be a seaman true and brave,
And watch Old Glory as she
waves.
I'll ask the Lord to be my guide,
And help us to the other side;
When all our work DER there is
done,
I'm sure he'll bring us safely
home.

members of the armed forces,
upon their dismissal, compensa-
ton of $40 per week for a year if
they are unable to find employ
ment, provides for the continual
ton of education and makes loans
easily available to them for start
ing new businesses and building
or improving homes. The bill,
said the President, gave "em-
phatic notice to the men and wo-
men in our armed forces that the
American people do not intend
to let them down."
Although congressman would
like to stay for the summer, and
probably many of them will, it is
realized that lot of study and
planning is necessary right now
to deal with problems of recon
version, of cancellation of war
contracts, of control of the war
worker situation, of postwar in
ternational relations and of trying
to work out plans for changing
from a wartime economy to a
peacetime economy without any
more jolts than possible.
The yelled prediction recently
made by Winston Churchill that
the war with Germany might end
this summer has made congress
men realize that they are alrea-
! dy behind time in taking action
on these vital matters and many
feel that too long a recess at this
time would be dangerous. In
fact there are quite a number who
feel that no recess would be taken
this summer if it were not for the
election and they won't want to
be accused of putting politics be-
J fore the interests of the nation.
There seems to be no question
but that President Roosevelt will
run for a fourth term-and al
, though there is more opposition
to him than during any other
campaign, it is generally agreed
that he will get the nomination
again with little trouble. But the
election itself will probably be
the closest in the last IL years
Even the experts are unwilling
to predict the outcome at this
time.

Washington, D. C.-Somehow in
their last frantic efforts to get
away from Washington for the
political conventions, congress
men managed to rush through all
necessary legislation before the
end of the governments fiscal
year-and, incidentally, managed
to appropriate almost 100000
100000 to be spent before June
80, 1945.
Perhaps the most important
legislation passed during the last
hectic days before recess was the
bill continuing wage and price
sterilization for another year.
This bill, when first passed by
the house and senate, contained
many provisions which were con-
sidered dangerous and initiation
airy, but during the conference
of the two houses most of the
debatable provisions were elm
mated so that the bill is now
quite similar to the one under
which the government has opera
ted during the past year. The
main difference is that the penal
ties for price and wage violations
have been reduced, but if it is
found that this interferes with
enforcement new measure may
be added in the fall.
One of the most inflationary
provisions of the bill-an amend
ment which would have ended
all wage control over wages I'M
der $3.50 week-was dropped
from the bill and wage control
will continue as it has been in
the past. Although there is con-
siderable feeling against certain
practices and decisions of the Of
flee of Price Administration
among congressman, the action
on this bill made it apparent that
congress realizes wage and price
control have saved the consumer
many millions of dollars and must
be continued.
The President made quite a
ceremony over the signing of the
&c. I. Bill of Rights" which is the
first legislative step taken so far
to deal with the possible postwar
employment problem. It assures

House And Home
By Mary E. Dague

With gardens demanding our
time and energy and canning
pushing us to the nth degree, we
housewives must make our heads
save our heels. Older women
who have not borne the brunt of
housekeeping for the past years
are finding that by careful plan
ming they can accomplish a vast
amount of work.
Try to get the strenuous jobs
done in the morning-in the cool
of the day-and take care of the
lighter chores as the heat in
creases. You may have to get up
an hour earlier in the morning to
get the work out of the way, but
that extra hour in the morning
will pay good dividends all day
long. However, don't think you
can add time in the morning
without taking it out in the after
noon. Make out your work
schedule so that you will have an
extra hour to rest in the after
noon.
Another way to save yourself is
to take full advantage of all your
electrical equipment. If you
have an electric range with a time
thermastat learn to use it so that
you can have time away from the
kitchen. Research workers tell
us that thoroughly chilled food
will keep in good condition for
two hours in the oven before the
heat is turned on. Put your din
ner in the oven, set your time
and temperature controls and go
your way rejoicing to know that
you will come into the kitchen
and find your dinner ready to
serve.
One dish meals with a simple
salad and dessert are ideal sum-
mer dinners. One hot dish is
recommended for every meal and
a casserole dish Of meat and veg
etables is easy to prepare and to
serve.
Old Mother Nature is very can
ny and if you serve her foods in
their seasons you are going to
provide interesting and healthful
meals. We need much less heavy
food in summer than we do in
winter. Light, easily digested
menus with plenty of fresh fruits
and vegetables-the very foods
our gardens and markets are
teeming with-make nourishing
and pleasant fare.
Gal Fresco" meals are delight
full on the porch or in the garden
or in any shady spot. If you eat
out in the open it's good idea to
spray thoroughly under the
chairs and tables and on nearby
bushes. This will keep the flys
and bugs away long enough for
you to enjoy your meal. Use any
fly spray available and use it
as generously as your conscience
will let you. The use of trays will
simplify all serving problems. If
each member of the family does
his share of carrying, meals serv-
ed out doors contribute greatly
