Watch out that too many of your
points don't 60 for bone. Remem-
Der, it's the lean meat that pro-
vides the protein, vitamins and
minerals you need. Usually the
solid cuts without much bone are
better buys even at high point
values than the very honey cuts.
Take home the bones and trim
mings you pay for. Simmer the
bones for soup stock. Use the
trimmings to flavor dressing, veg
etables and other foods. Render
the fat for cooking.

By RUTH CURRENT

Do you brush your hair each
day? Brushing gives that sheen,
polished look as we'll as removes
dust and lint. It will not destroy
the wave, if your hair is in good
condition. Even the simplest hair
dress will be attractive.
Do you wash your brush and
comb after each shampoo? AS a
dandruff precautiont combs,
brushes, pins, and clips should all
be washed after each shampoo.
Own and use good tooth, bath,

CHS Want TO
KNOW ABOUT
NEGRO WACS
BY FLETCHER p. MARTIN
u. s. War Correspondent

GENERAL McARTHUR'S HEAD
QUARTERS-(By Courier With
the arrival OF white members OF the
Women's Army Corps in the South
west Pacific command. speculation
has arisen as TO whether Negro
members will be sent into the area.
Although questioned army officials
refuse 10 be quoted at this writing.
il seems very unlikely that any are
scheduled. From work the white
members are reported doing il is
quite obvious why Negro members
are unlikely TO be called
Up TO the present time Negro
members Of the armed services sta
toned here have seen very little
OF this type of duty. Very few. if
any. have been assigned 10 base
command clerical stats. And the
trend at present does not indicate
that this condition will be altered.
Whether the table OF organization
of any Negro unit is flexible enough
TO allow the iRfiltration of women
personnel is not known by this
reporter Unless il is, il is unlikely
that Negro WACs will be used.
However, this is an opinion based
on observation and not in any way
official.
The question has arisen. On See
ing other WACs, spruced out in
regular obs and parading through
the streets here, our troops asked
the question, Wonder il the clean
cuts from Fort Huachuca are COM
ing over" The question remains
unanswered.

WASHINGTON-Freshly appoint ed Assistant Secretary of State Nelson Rockefeller has new move up his sleeve regarding Argentina. It will be one of his first steps to try to smooth out the Good Neigh bor Policy, now tangled up worse than at any time in years.
 Rockefeller hasn't obtained White House approval forit yet, but he plans a face-saving deal whereby Argentina would shake out some of her more Predetermined poli ticoes and then would receive U. s. recognition
 Rockefeller wants to get fresh start with Pan American relations and first of all proposes wiping the slate clean with Argentina Other Latin American nations are not too happy about the diplo- matic boycott we have given Ar gentina. Rockefeller also argues that we are in no position to crack down on Argentina, so let's stop growing and be friends.
