The Case for Raisins

Reasons for raisins in your cur
rent kitchen economy are these:
Raisins are point free. They are
now readily available every season

of preparation and paekaging, boxed

time. And they add fine flavor, high
style, and food value to all your
wartime meals.

how versatile the raisin is:

 Ordinarily, these girls have no part in medical or surgical af- fairs at the field and evacuation hospitals. Their function is to distribute tobacco, toilet articles, games and stationery to the pa tients; talk With them; write their letters; run their errands; take their messages; and dc anything to help keep their spirits up.
 Seeing those three in action convinces me that our girls must be pretty brave lot" the Red Cross director said They have taken everything the enemy had and they were not especially picked for this job. They came along with the hospitals to wh.ct they were attached.

ALASKA FLYER DOWEED REQUESTS TIDE DATA

/, NAKNEK, ALASKA When bush pilot Bob Reve. the only civilian pilot employed by the army in Alaska, recently ra- dioed Flight Control here and asked for tide data, the boys in the tower dec ded they had heard everything.
 During their tour of duty at this remote Bristol Bay station they had received calls from pilots who had crashed in the foggy peaks. who were lost and wanted a bearing, and even a frantic mes sage from one pilot who said he was sweating out the birth of a child and wanted to know if they could find out if it was a boy or a girl. But this was the first time flyer had requested information regarding the tides.
 They admitted later. however. it was something that could have been expected from Reeve. who rates in the 11th Air Force as a sure enough white haired wonder because of his snowy thatch and the fact that he habitually flies the island chain in an ancient and battered single-engine plane which none of the highly trained army pilots would even step in.
 Reeves request for tide data was due to the fact that he had been trapped over Bristol Bay in zero-zero weather, with ice mak- ing on his wings and propeller and no open field within his somewhat limited flying range. So he had set the venerable plane down on a mud flat off -shore-the only bit of land he could find-to wait for the weather to break When he contacted the tower he said he had the feeling he heard some where that the tide today was the highest of the year, and he though it might cover the mud flat.
 When the tower boys confirmed his suspicion, Reeve took off hur- riedly and came in through the murk to a safe landing at Nak- nek. As result of his eXperi- ence, 1lth Air Force pilots are now carrying tide books.

RED R'ElE' CROSS :.
 WORKERS ON ANZIO BEACH


 ANZIO BEACHHEAD, Italy If the regional director of Amer ican Red Cross personnel in Italy ever had any doubts as to the Ability of his workers to stand up under shell fire and bombing, they passed away with his recent visit 10 the Allied beachhead below Rome.
 .' "1 can't get over it." said Ali .R. Thompson, Mattoon, H., the director. With shells coming in and bombs dropping all the time, those American civilians are just as cool and calm as though they were safely back home"
 He has especial praise for the coolness and presence of mind of three Red Cross hospital workers attached to beachhead hospitals while he was there: Maryles Rusty) Nahl of Oakland. Calf. first Red Cross girl. to make the landing below Rome; Clara Jean) McNeill of Fort Slocum, N. Y.,; and Helen Ewing of Delaware, Ohio.
 "A Jerry barrage had started and some of the shells were fall ing around the hospital area" he said. Helen got into a dugout safely, Rusty reached it's entrance, and Jean was washing in steel helmet in her tent when shell dropped and exploded about fifty feet away.
 "The concussion blew Rusty into the dugout. Jean just had time to hit the dirt before shell frag- ment passed through the tent, right over her head"
 The shell, said the Red Cross executive. seriously wounded an Army nurse. While two other nurses bolted from the dugout to care for her.. Rusty brought the nearest ambulance to pick up the girl.
 '. With. this smelling and subse- quent ones, some of the hospital personnel became understandably jittery. Rusty and Jean dug out icanteen cups, chocolate milk, cheese and CT crackers, and pre- pared hot chocolate and sandwich es for them. As more surgical cases were brought in, Thompson declared. the hospital ran out of all-important clean towels. The Red Cross. girls broke out their stock of towels and turned them over to the surgical tents.
 The Illinois man went with Rusty into an operating tent where doctors, nurses and corpsmen were working.
 Hey, Red Cross, give me a hand here" called soldier medic. who was trying to cut away the clothing from a man whose hips were injured. Though she was not a nurse, Rusty pitched in and did the job. "The Red Cross girls are considered so much a
