Christmas Gifts
For Hcspitalized
Veterans

For most of us today the wars
are over, and many of our fighting
men are home-or nearing home, so
that we had many reasons for OBJ
eerving a Thanksgiving day yester-
day with sincerely grateful hearts.
But let us stop to remember those
who are still confined to hospitals,
both here and on foreign soil. If
un,l'va ever had the misfortune to
be away from home on Christmas
day, you'll know how lonely and
heartbreaking the day can be unless
someone remembers.
The American Legion and Auxil-
iary have taken on the responsibility
of seeing that every hospitalized U.
S. service man, woman and veteran
receives a Christmas gift.
We are cooperating with the
American Red Cross, and the Ma
tional Association of Retail Stores
and hoping that everyone will heed
our appeal to purchase gifts to pre-
sent to those grand friends who
have given so much of themselves
for us. We are given until Decem-
ber 10th to get our packages to the
proper distribution centers.
Mr.. Joe Colunga of the Modern
Pharmacy on Morley avenue, has
generously consented to let us use
his store as a central collecting
place. Be sure to place your name
and address inside the package and
a list of contents on the outside.

Cats New Scarcity
BY FREDERICK c. OTHMAN

Washington. April 5.-iUP)-Sen George D. Aiken of Putney. Vt., \ right. I have patYolled the capita (witih particular reference to lc alleys) and I, too, have been struck by the scarcity of cats. There aren't as many gray squir- rels around town as there used t. be, either. Sen. Aiken reported tc his cohorts at the agriculture con- mittee's food inquiry that these ami mals are scarcer hereabouts than ever before. All morning Senator Aiken lis- tened to testimony about food shoit- ages. He waited until the experts finished their discussion about the possibility that criminals might be wrapping up horse meat and sell ing 1t for beef. Tentatively he harumphed. There was smile on his face.
 T have heard" he said, that cats and gray squirrels have been disappearing mysteriously In Wash ington."
 "Ulp," went Norris E. Dodd, the Agriculture Department officials who had just testified that ht could tell horse meat from beef, but that he doubted whether most folks could.
 "H-m-m-m-m-," said Sen. Elmer Thomas of Okla, the chairman. T think we better refer this question | to Senator Bilbo."
 Bilbo (Theodore G., of Mississippi Is chairman of the senate district committee. That makes him the nearest thing that Washington has to a mayor. If anybody should have known about capital cats, he was the man.
 don't know whether he was ool-gathering, but he ignored the cat situation. All he said, and l quote, was this:
 T have no statistics on the gray squirrel supply"
 The boys dropped the subject here and took up: How come the gov- ernment buried unpteen million sacks of potatoes down south, turned steam on 'em until they became the consistency of potato salad, cooled 'em off, and fed 'em to live stock?
 This was an interesting subject, nearly as interesting as the case oi the missing cats, and I think we might consider it briefly. Lieut.. Col. Ralph w. OlmStead ot the War Food Administration said than when congress established a parity price for potatoes, the WFA had to buy 'em last year when no body else would. He said the gov- ernment owned potatoes all over the place. It dried 'em. boiled 'em. and maybe used 'em for kerosene can shoppers. but it still had toe many potatoes.
 "So we consulted the scientist, pr. Carl Brandt. who'd been chased out of Germany by the Nazis," Col OlmStead said. ''ae recommended that we make 'em into silage. That meant placing them in trench silos and turning on the steam until they were about like potato salad. Then we used the silage for live stock feed and we think this was better than letting the potatoes spoil.'
 P But wouldn't 1t have been still better if these potatoes could have gone to the people who needed 'em?" demanded Sen. Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska.
 The colonel said 1t certainly would but that nobody wanted them a the price determined by Congress.
