Containers Keep Superforts
Crews Food Warm

Crews of U. S. bombers that travel
the highways to Tokyo have been
carrying along compact little metal
cabinets that supply meal In a
manner reminiscent of the way. the
boys used to raid the refrigerator
back home.
The idea behind the B-29 food
warmer is simple but ingenious.
Wired to operate on either ITO or
"a volt current, the warmer is filled
with food at bomber base kitchen
just before the plane it is to ride
takes off on it's mission. In case a
delay occurs between loading of the
warmer and the planes takeoff the
food can be kept hot by plugging
the warmer in on the Kitchens 110
volt current. Later when it is moved
into the plane it is hooked upon a
"a volt current.
Like all Gaul, the inside Of this
glorified lunch box is divided into
three parts. The lowest compart-
ment accommodates six trays, each
partitioned into four parts. Into
these trays go the meat and vege-
tables that form the backbone of
the meal.
The middle compartment holds
12 beverage cups-2 for each man
served by the warmer-for soup and
coffee, tea or cocoa. Plastic lids Sc
curely fastened by spring clips
guard the contents Of the metal con-
tainers. Screw caps top small open
ings in the lids through which bever-
age may be slipped from straw
when flying conditions make it inn
possible to drink directly from the
cups. These two compartments are
maintained at a temperature Of ap-
proximately 16O degrees F. The top
drawer of the cabinet, which con-
tains s spoons, 48 plastic straws and
salt and pepper shakers, pro-
vides storage space for solid foods
such as bread or cake.

Contending that there must be
more adequate economic cooperation
to go along with International politi-
cal cooperation, and pointing out the
failure thus far to agree en- interna-
tional oil, aviation, banking, labor,
and maritime problems, DR.. Robert
w. Searle, of the Greater New York
Federation of Churches, says: "In
most of these instances America
seems to be tke contestant There
can be no harmony unless we are
willing to give as well as take. We
shall justly receive the hostility of
the world if we insist on making full
use of our exceptionally favorable
economic and industrial advantages.
And, finally, we simply must find the
means of cooperation between our
free econmy system and the collec-
twist system which exists or will ex-
list in most of the Asiatic and Euro
pean countries The stakes are not
dollars and cents. They are the lives
of our children and our children's 8
children"

HIGHWAY HAZARDS

Headlight glare again takes first
position in highway hazards, accord
ing to Keystone Automobile Club,
which warned drivers their own safe
ty, as we'll as the safety of other
highway users, demands use of the
lower beam when approaching op-
posing traffic, either on streets or the
open road.
SIN recent weeks" said Edward P
Curran, Safety Director of the Club,
"our own observations ond those of
motorists who have complained 20 us
indicate there is a growing careless
ness on the part of vehicle operators
in the matter of headlight USE
Binding glare from upper bean
lights assails drivers everywhere,
making it impossible to see pedes-
trians in the streets or along Figh-
ways and rendering it extremely diff
cult to keep to the road.
''Some operators use the upper
beam through careless n ass or
thoughtlessness, but in other cases
the practice seems to be deliberate.
Refusal of an operator to drop to the
lower beam after an approaching dri-
yer has accorded this courtesy is an
indication of unfitness for the driv-
ing privilege, because every holder
of an operators license should under
stand the vital relationship between
visibility and highway safety.
"If for no other reason, the oper-
ator should use the lower beam for
his own safety, because he never
knows when temporarily blinded
fellow motorist may run into him,
writing 'finis' to the chapter on road
courtesy.
Incidentally, the laws of most
States require use of the lower beam
under the circumstances mentioned,
but enforcement is difficult. The mat
ter really is in the hands OF the indi-
vidual operator, who can contribute
to the pleasure and safety of night
driving by showing consideration for
his fellows"

Mending Prayed Edges
Of Rug Exacting Task

To mend frayed edges or whipped
out ends of rugs, first trim off the
worn parts with the shears, a knife
or razor blade. Begin cutting
where the damage is deepest, and
work on the wrong side. Follow one
of the crosswise or lengthwise yarns
or ridges, and save all good scraps
of carpet for later repairs.
Allowing an inch and a half of
binding to turn under at each end,
lay the right side of the binding on
the right side of the carpet with
the two edges together. Fasten the
thread at the rug selvage with a
few short stitches, and then baste
with slanting stitches about one-half
inch apart. When the binding is
sewed on, fasten the thread secure
ly with three short stitches back
ward, so that the binding won't rip.
When this step is finished, fold to
the wrong side on the diagonal the
one and one-half inches of binding
left at the end so that the corner
won't show when the binding is
turned over the edge of the carpet.
Then fold the binding over the raw
edge of the carpet to the underside.
Draw the binding down smoothly
and fasten to the back, catching
only a few yarns of the carpet and
about one-eighth inch of the binding.
Make these stitches about one inch
apart. On the right side only
narrow edge of binding will show,
and on the wrong side an inch or
more will protect the carpets edge.

Home" is the goal to be stressed by
the 1945 observance of National Ne
gro Health Week, according to an
made by Dr. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health. The week from April
/ to April s will be devoted to i'm
proving the health of all members of
the family and to creating more
healthfu1 living conditions in the
home.
This thirty-first National Negro
Health Week is being celebrated un-
der the auspices of the United States
Public Health Service. AS in other
years the first week of April las

Day-when sermons and talks on
health subjects will be given and the
plans will get under way. Health of
adults and children of all ages, COM

Well Ventilated Closet
HELPS Preserve Wardrobe

A roomy, well-ventilated closet
properly used can be Of tremendous
value in conserving your clothes and
keeping your wardrobe In pin-neat
appearance.
By hanging your dress on hang
er Immediately after removing it,
and placing it in the closet, the dress
will keep its press better and the
life of the material will be
heightened. A little space should be
allowed between each garment.
If your closet isn't well-ventilated,
hang the dress ouside the closet
awhile so that the air may circu-
late freely about 1t before you put
it back with the rest of your clothes.
BY letting a dress "rest" after a
day or two of wear, the amount of
pressing needed can be cut down.
Padded hangers to fit the shoul-
ders of your suits and dresses can
be made at home. Unless you use
padded hangers, the shoulders will
stretch out Of shape.

worse than the present year; the
need for a rather large repair pro-

Eliminate Pet Peeves
In Plans for Home

If you are planning to build in
the future, a wise thing to do is
list your pet peeves-features you
would not want included in your
house and reasons for these
peeves.
Study your friends houses and
your own. Ask questions, learn
what other people do who have the
same faults in their houses. Find
out if these things bother them as
much as they do you.
You may discover that some Of
your pet peeves are not really seri-
Gus troubles with the plan Of the
house but are more probably faults
in the way you are using your home.
1t is especially important that you
know the reasons for your peeves
so that they can be studied when
you actually plan the house. One of
the most frequently mentioned
peeves is the direct entrance into
the living room, and yet some
people spend money on an entrance
hall and gain no additional privacy
because they still have to 60 through
the living room from this entrance
hall in order to get to the rest Of
the house. The reasons for the peeve
had not been carefully studied.
