Food Storage

Store onions, potatoes, and foods
canned in glass in a cool, dry and
dark corner. For meat, the best
rule is: Keep it clean, keep it cold,
keep it covered. A temperature of
As degrees or lower is the best.
Wash poultry thoroughly inside and
out, pat it dry, and store in a very
cold place. If your eggs have some
soiled spots on them, wipe off with
a dry, rough cloth, but won't wash
them before storing because the wa
ter destroys the protective film on
the shell that keeps the air out.
Vegetables also need careful ham
ding to preserve their goodness.
Wash, drain and store your salad
greens in a covered pan and keep
cold Caulif1ower, brussels sprouts
and broccoli lose freshness faster
than cabbage. Leave them uncut
and keep cold but not too dry. Keep
your root vegetables-beets, turnips,
rutabagas and carrots-in a cool
ventilated place and it's all right to
cut the tops to two inches in order
to save space.

EUROPE HAS THE CHIMES

Our calculators figure that the
United States has put up Al billion
dollars for lend-lease. 1t is question
able whether the investment" will
turn out any better than the loans
repudiated by European nations in
World War I.
The British Government acted sur
prised, and criticized the American
Government for ending the wartime
measure so abruptly. Other European
countries seemed stunned by the idea
that Uncle Sam wanted to retire from
TIE lending and leasing game.
AS a matter of fact both Presi-
dents Roosevelt and Truman stated
very definitely months ago that lend
lease was plan of aid as a wartime
measure.

BRINGING HOME THE EATS

Now, what is going to happen on
the food front? A big portion of our
food supply will unquestionably be
sent across the ocean to the hungry
folks Of Europe.
The farmers of the country have
been officially told by Washington
that they cannot produce too much
food because it is needed here at
home and abroad. The Secretary of
Agriculture encouragingly says that
food will bring good prices, and that
in exceptional cases, when supplies
may temporarily exceed the demand,
TIE Department of Agriculture will
buy as much as necessary and make
good on price support prices. This is
now being done in the case of pota-
toes. Rationing of some important
foods will be continued for some
months.

WEATHERvANEs ARE
HARBINGERs OF GOOD FORTUNE
TO FARMERS

Farmers are not usually supersti-
tious persons but they are where
their weathervanes are concerned.
Trying to buy weathervane from
a farmer is a certain way of incur
ring his wrath, according to an ar
ticle in the September issue of Good
Housekeeping magazine.
Various forms of weather vanes
were among the earliest means of
forecasting tie weather, according
to the article, which states in part:
1.-THE cone of bunting that points
the way of the wind at every airport
was the weathervane of ancient mar
iners
Farmers consider the removal of
a weathervane an admission of de-
feat and despair.
1.-THE oldest crowing-cock vane in
England, and possibly in the world,
is atop of St. Sidwell's church in Ex-
eter.
Country weathercocks are gen.
orally full of bullet holes as they
offer tempting targets for rural
marksmen.
"Weathervanes in the form of cod
are popular in Massachusetts,, and
one of them adorned the roof of Paul
Reveres home.
George Washington fashioned a
weathervane in the form of a dove
Of peace with twig in it's mouth"

THE INCENTIVE TO INVENT

With the nations patent system
under attack from various quarters,
it's interesting to note what one of
Americas outstanding petroleum
scientists has to say about it.
1.-THE oil industry of the world has
reached its greatest development in
the United States. This growth has
been achieved largely through the in
centive to invent and the protection
to inventions afforded by the Ameri-
can patent system.
Invention has conserved 20 bill
lion barrels of crude oil for this coun-
try. 1t has developed new fuels OF
great energy to increase the power
output of motor cars and airplanes.
1t has made possible an American
synthetic rubber industry which frees
us forever from dependence on rub
Der trees. 1t has afforded employment
to more than a million men and wo.
men. 1t has spurred competition in
the oil industry and competition
means progress. 1t has fostered the
development of many new industries
and the enlargement of old ones
outside the petroleum industry. 1t is
one of the prime factors in winning
the victory for the United Nations
and it is the incentive to even greater
achievements in the postwar world. "
The words are those of DR.. Gustav
Egloff, wko has made many notewor-
thy contributions to petrol e m
science. 1t will be well for the United
States to investigate carefully before
it considers scrapping of its patent
system which has served to bring
about progress such as this in the
past.

Clean Paint Brush

Good paint brushes merit extra
care. Thoroughly wash them out
with turpentine or the synthetic
equivalent after using, hang them
up by the handle to dry, and then
wrap in cloth or paper to keep the
bristles straight and clean during
storage. Varnish brushes should be
cleaned in alcohol. Brushes used
frequently are often hung in con-
tanners of solvent between periods Of
use. At no time should the brush
be permitted to rest on the bottom
of the container, since this distorts
the bristles. Do not use paint and
varnish removers to clean brushes
since they are seldom suited for this
purpose.

DENTAL CHECK UP NEEDED

ut should be unnecessary to sug-
gest that all children be taken to
their family dentist before TIE open
ing of the new school year." said DR..
Richard c. Leonard, Chef, Division
of Oral Hygiene, Maryland State De-
partment of Health. But while the
desirability of such care is obvious,
there is, unfortunately, dread of
such visits, particularly on the part
of parents. that often causes danger.
Gus postponements.
DR.. Leonard feels that most of this
attitude is unwarranted and refers t.
bulletin issued by the American
Dental Association in which the
mental attitude toward dental SER
vice is discussed.
"Tke dentist, the physician and the
policeman are the child's best
friends" says the American Dental
Association bulletin, "but too often
they are associated in his mind with
pain and terror.
obviously, the way to prevent
these childish misconceptions is to
lead your child to understand early
in life that these guardians of his
health and safety are his 'pals'-men
like his father and uncle.
"Your childs first visit to the fam
;ly dentist should not await his first
toothache; it should be made as soon
as all his baby teeth have appeared;
shat is shortly after his second birth
lay.
THE wise dentist will make
,, riends with the ckild, allowing him
o examine the dental equipment and
,ssk Questions about it. In the mean
ime the dentist can observe the

an opportunity to look at the child s
eeth, after relations between the

friendly basis, and to determine the
condition of the enamel and the for
nation of the teeth.
with this good start, subsequent
visits to the dentist should be anti
/ cipated by the child with pleasure.
Frequent visit will enable the dentist
20 stop tooth troubles before they
tart and so avoid the resultant dis
omforts.
Compare this method with that
of waiting until the child complains
of toothache before he is taken to
the dentist. Under such circumstan.
ces, the child will arrive in fretful
state, nervous and fearful. No mat
ter how gentle and patient the dem
list, tke nature of the necessary work
may leave an unpleasant impression
and may make it difficult every time
the child has to return in the fu-
ture"
DR.. Leonard considers this splen.
did advice. Such start, plus regu-
larity of subsequent visits, gives
promise of mouth health without the
too prevalent fear of dental Office
visits.

vice presented handmade
working model to large manu-
featuring concern in the hope of
selling his rights. The manufacturers
were keenly interested, and during
negotiations covering long period
a company official offered to provide
him with an interim agreement to
protect his rights. But the inventor
declined, saying, Il have complete
confidence in your integrity and
that of your associates" What
proved to be profitable agreement
for both was contaminated in due
course.
Here is exemplified honesty of pur-
pose, that was made the basis of fair
dealing and good will among men.
Fear and selfishness cannot promote
such qualities. But moral Soundness
and uprightness of character, the
true essentials of goodness, foster
fidelity, integrity, and justice. The
teachings of Christ Jesus, demon
stratively restated in the teachings
OF Christian Science, are typiiied
when men mutually trust and re-
spect one another, and willingly ex-
tend themselves in each others in
terest. The Master said, "Whosoever
shall compel thee to go mile, 20
with him twain" Matthew SAD. In
other words, fear not that you will
be the loser by fulfilling more than
is demanded.
The lessening of individual initia-
tive. the growth of RECOMMENDATION and
centralized control, supplemented by
disinterest in responsibility, tend to
set aside the true worth of men.
Human domination presumes a
dearth of probity, faithfulness, and
allegiance to truth. =.
Recognizing the pricelessness Of
steadfast conformity to the demands
of right and the benefits of perse-
verance therein, Mary Baker Eddy
has written in Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 22) :
IF your endeavors are beset by
fearful odds, and you receive no
present reward, 60 not back to err
ror, nor become sluggard in the
race. When the smoke of battle
clears away, you will discern the
good you have done, and receive
accC.iing to your deserving. Love is
not hGsty to deliver us from tempta-
ton, for Love means that we shall
be tried and purified"
The endeavors of Jesus were "be-
set by fearful Odds" but he faltered
not in the performance of the divine
requirement. Obviously, his Surpass-
ings works were based upon spiritual
integrity beyond the comprehension
of even his immediate disciples.
Nevertheless, he said for the bene-
fit of those who were to be his fol-
lowers for all time, Gle that be-
ieveth on me, the works that | do
shall he do also; and greater works
than these shall he do; because 60
unto my Father" John 14:12). This
is both a promise and challenge.
Giant tasks in every department
of human endeavor await mankind.
With the inspiration of true integ-
rity, fresh hope springs up, new
courage is realized, and more spiri-
tual conviction is attained.
Trustworthiness, based on the wis
dom the Master taught, cannot fail.
The light of Truth, effectively shin
ing through the darkness of ignor-
ance and doubt, guides, guards, and
saves those who turn to it with in
tegrity, honesty, humility, and graft

The exception was man twice
convicted of deserving under fire
in Europe-thc first soldier to be
put to death for a purely mill
tary offense since the Civil War.
OF the others At were con-
demmed for murder, 43 for rape
and II for both murder and rape.
In addition, more than 200 death
sentences have been imposed by
general courts martial but have
been commuted to life imprison-
ment or lesser terms.
The army declined to identity
the man executed for desertion.
The navy, without going into de-
tails, reported that no navy,
marine corps or coast guard man
has been executed by court mar
tial order during this war. AS of
mid-April 22,C09 members of those
services were in confinement.
In the last year, $1,000 soldiers
were sentenced by courts martial
for offenses, comparable to felon-
les in civilian courts, which carry
penalties of at least six months

At present, 1853 soldiers con-

FIERCE HUNGARIAN
REVOLT REVEALED
By A. I. GOLDBERG

IN CENTRAL EUROPE, July 7.
-(Pl-JeWs and known anti-Nazis
were shot in droves and the Dan
ube River at Budapest ran red
with blood for days in October,
1894, after pro-Nazi Ferenc Sal
asi's Arrow Cross forces overthrow
the Hungarian government of Adm.
Nicholas Horthy.
The revolt was inspired by Otto
(Scarface) Skorzeny the man
credited with engineering the es-
cape of Benito Mussoini from
Italian guards and plotting
against the life of Gen. Dwight
D. Eisenhower.
For security reasons I can n t
yet name the source of this infor-
nation but the unvarnished story
of the Arrow Cross organization S
terrorism makes one of the blood
Ter pages of Hungary's history un-
der the Nazis.
The Arrow Cross men started
their reign CT terror as soon as
Horthy announced an armistice
with Russia. They outdid the Ma
zis in the viciousness of their treat
ment of Jews.
Living conditions for Jews I'M
der the Horthy regime were n t
good.
Budapest jews lived in houses
marked with the yellow star of Da-
vid. They were permitted on t h e
streets at specified times to mar
ket if they wore a similar star.
Many Jews toiled in mental labor
regiments recruited by Jence RACE
Minister of the interior.
Treatment of Jews in provinces
outside the capital was m Or e
cruel and Hungarian police were
feared more than German SIS men.
In concentration camps where
Jews were penned before they were
sent to German torture camps they
were guarded by other Jews armed
with clubs. They had been forced
to the task Ey threats. The only
medical care came from captured
doctors lacking medicines or in
struments.
Hungarian brickyards served as
collection stations where railroad
cars we're packed with Jews being
sent to death at Dachau and other
German concentration camps. The
loading was directed by an Aus
TRAN Nazi leader named Eich-
mann.
Germans and Hungarians made
4 sport of seeing who could arrest
