New Year Needs Stern Resolution In Home-Front Diet
(NEA Telephoto)

But there's nothing to worry about nutritionally. The best sci- entists have determined what each of us needs in terms of nu- triton, and the government has planned accordingly. But that doesn't mean steaks and chops and butter on hot rolls, or whip ped cream on shortcake. It means more soya products, more brew CTS yeast, dry beans and peas, peanuts and cereals in the na- tional diet to bring it up to nu- tritional requirements. We face a general shift in our menus.
 Don't overlook the black market in meat and poultry and other foods. But before we get right eous and condemn the lack of patriotism of the black market operators, let's take it straight: laws and jails and indignation meetings won't wipe out the black market. But you can. and I can, and so can our neighbors. The black market operator is a merchant with something to sell. If he doesn't get any customers, he'll go out of business. It's as simple as that.
 To fill her family's stomachs, the American housewife will have to use her head literally, and with no time out for guessing. We have a new food picture: many new and unfamiliar foods have stepped in to take the place of some which have gone to war. We have to learn what they are and how to buy and cook them. New foods will get eaten if intelligently cooked.
 Rationing confuses many women. Gunfire isn't easy to adjust to, either. If home maker pays more than ceiling prices for her food. she is aiding and abetting the black market no matter how many blue stars hang in her window If she serves inadequate meals to her family of war workers. she's falling down on her wartime job despite her Victory Bonds.

JACQUES

BurlesQue returned to Waterbury Friday at Jacques theater where the hit musical production 'Jaffs And Lassies" began weeks engagement.
 Heading the cast of this large, well staged and lighted musical extrav- aganza is Jimmy Pinto, late hit of Olsen and Johnsons' "Sons o Fun" which recently concluded a long .un on Broadway. Jimmy Pinto is one of the outstanding slap stick con- edians on the musical comedy stage today and the reason for this is well exemplified in his great routine of comedy skits which incidentally had Saturday audience literally rolling In the aiSleS".
 The cor~ed. sketches are timely and well handled by group of per- formers who know how to get the most out of ever comedy situation, to the delight of the onlookers.
 The cast of "Laffs and Lassies' numbers fourty outstanding burles- quers.
 It is well balanced with an abund- ance of good muse, singing, dancing and speciality offerings.
 Outstanding is the terrific dancing of a truly sensational colored lad Riff" Robinson. His efforts Friday and Saturday brought round after round of applause from an apprecia- tive audience. Exotic Geraldine also came in for Q good!y share of ap- plause in her speciality numbers as did Palmer Cote in the straight man role. He proved himself an excellent foil for the sharp comedy barbs ex- ploded by Jimmy Pinto.
 All in all ''Laffs And Lassies" has everything that goes to make for good stage entertainment. AS an added attraction the management is also presenting Singing Bill, well known local entertainer who has long been a favorite over the broad- casting facilities of VERY. The show will continue all week with per- formances daily at 30 and S:3o. The box office is open daily from Il a. m. to 9:30 p. m. and reserved seats may be procured for all per- formances.

WARTIME SPoNGING

Scarce and high-priced is the report on sponges for l944 from the Fish and Wildlife Service. Sponges are tough enough ot be cut in pieces, tied to rocks in salt water and grow again. However, they are delicate about tropical storms and brackish water, and can be grown only in special areas. Many of the best sponges grow under water as much as 100 miles from shore, and can't be gathered in wartime.
 WHITE JANUARY
 The customary January white sales" are out, according to volun- tary trade agreements. However, traditions in merchandising are so strong that you will at least see a great deal of emphasis on sheets pillow cases and the like, although no inducement prices are supposed to be offered.

S. Pascagouia street last Friday
afternoon with Mesdames Swart-
won't. J. K. Graham, and Homer

ers in artistic arrangement. In

dahlias in a low bowl attracted

kets OF lilies and gypsophlia. In
the living room a particularly
beautiful floor basket OF madonna
lilies, and vases OF roses added
beauty. In the dining room the
lace draped table was conferred
by a bowl of crystal with lark

number OF guests could be accom-
modated in them. For this rea-
son a limit of 20 members was sci
by the club. But, in order to
have their friends with them al
least ono a year, Mrs. Carrier
went on TO explain, the club sets
aside a date for an extra session
when each member has the priv.
lege of inviting a friend outside
of the club TO meet with them.

member responded by introducing
her guest.

ing original poem 10 a Pasoagou-
Ia friend.
The 72lst That's Usl
We're a group OF soldiers, ON a
lonely Isle,
Distance from the u. S. a mere
thousand miles:
Left here on this Island to do
our little part
Most of US are mixed-up-got
the horse before the cart.
We get up bright and early, and
work the whole day thru;
When we think we're finished,
there always more to do.
We never know what the score is,
we're always on the go
Whatever keeps us going is
what we would like to know.
From sunup until sunset, the day
is never thru
We dent mind the weather as
long as we think of you;
Things are tough back in the
States, but, here m tougher
still
A few wears on TINS Island, and
you've been thru the mill.
! only hope the people do their
share to win this war
For ii they don't you know,
there will be plenty more.
Some day it will be over, and
we can all come back;
Let's hope the people "smarten
up" and put us on the track.
