Don't just ask for fish, Do you want whole fish or fish fillets, or will you have the whole fish dressed and boned? Will you have big fish or little fish? Either size can be grilled or baked, depending upon how you wish to serve them. Do you prefer lean fish or fat fish? Lean fish, such as cod, haddock, founder, hake and halibut, as a rule, are preferred for boiling, steaming or making choWders, or for simple grilled dinners. Fat fish, such as mackerel, butterfish, blue fish. salmon, etc, are generally pre- ferred for baking and are most oft en prepared with highly tasty sauc- eS. Both fat and lean fish, of course are excellent fried.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich. Nov. %.
l-MiSergt. Fredric Hensel, one of
the only two veterans in the country
who have lost parts of all four limbs
in the war, today had promise
from Secretary of War Patterson
that nothing will be overlooked in
research or development" to improve
artificial limbs.
Sergt. Hensel, one Of the amputees
visited by Secretary Patterson on
tour of Percy Jones Hospital Center
here yesterday, already is wearing
artificial arms with hooks for hands.
Now that he can feed and shave
himself and is looking forward to
the day when he will get artificial
/ legs, Sergt. Hensel has started study
ing the limbs and he says he knows
where improvements are needed.
i've got an elbow left SO I'm not
too worried" the 27-year vet
eran explained. "I just want to
walk. I figure if I can help myself,
can help others so I'm going to
work on this in my spare time when
I get back to Kentucky. I'm going
to set up shop in my garage"
Patterson Plans Research.
Secretary Patterson plans to spend
81 $50 900, and more if it's needed,
with the same goal in mind-to cor
rect some of the defects cited by
patients at the amputation center,
he told a press conference after his
! tour
He made 1t clear that despite
earlier reports the Veterans Ad-
ministration would take over the
research programs on artificial
limbs, the War Department will con-
tinue letting contracts for research
through the National Research
Councils Committee on Prosthetic
Devices-probably sharing the bills
as we'll as the results of the research
with the Veterans Administration.
Nothing is being spared in the
way of medical care and nothing is
now being overlooked in research
and development" he declared.
"Wel get the best industrial con-
Germs and the best laboratories to
help us. This is full, all-out pro-
gram"
/ AS part of its program. he an
nounced, the War Department plans
to send a commission to Germany
to find out what progress has been
made on muscle motors ar
rangement for linking artificial
hands to remaining muscles in an
arm by means of ivory pegs in
serted in the muscles. The inves-
tigators may bring back German
patients to study the arrangement
and determine whether it can be
improved by engineering advances

vanced by the patients here, Mai

DDT Test Kills Insects
On Parsons S Island

DIR. E. NJ Cory, chief entomologist
at the University of Maryland, re-
ported yesterday that very excel
lent results" have been achieved in
busting with DDT, potent new in
secticide, in an experiment on Par
sons Island in Eastern Bay.
DR.. Cory said that the use of only
o. pound of DDT per acre killed
virtually all flies and mosquitoes
on the island. He said expert
menters will double the dose Tues
day to catch insects that have mi
grated from the mainland and also
in an effort to kill the mosquito
larvae.
4 Officials at the Fish and Wildlife
Refuge at Patuxent, where DOT was
sprayed by air over a 1lT-acre tract
last month, said this experiment
viii not end until fall when COM
piete results will be released. Five
pounds of the insecticide per acre
were used in this experiment.
While early laboratory tests have
indicated that DDT is injurious to
aquatic life, DR.. Cory said the dust
ing on May 80 has had no harmful
effect on fish. birds, wildlife or live
stock.
DR.. Cory said Parsons Island was
selected for the experiment because
it is owned by Mccormick & Co.
Baltimore spice firm. Under State

District Auditor Waits
For Trumon Signature
On Second Measure

Public school employees are waiting
for one more presidential signature

basic pay raises given them in the

President Truman signed the bill
in Potsdam yesterday. But he has
not yet signed joint House Senate

its hurried passage. Until he does,
the pay raises are only tentative"
A. w. Heinmiller, school budget Off
Ger, said.
The resolution becomes effective
10 days after its passage whether
President Truman signs 1t or not,
1t was indicated at the Capitol.
Meanwhile the District auditor is
waiting for either President Tru-
mans signature or the automatic
deadline before he makes out new
checks for school officers and prin-
c1pals. Teachers are not affected bv
the delay because they will not be
paid again until September.
Wage Retroactive.
The basic pay raises are retroac-
tive to July l. They include an
aggregate of $4,000 in entirely new
raises, and $1,038, 900 formerly paid

Citizens and parents should re-
Joice in this legislation, which will
mean so much to the welfare and
development of children in the Dis

of great significance will accrue in
more efficient instruction in the
classroom and in better administra-
ton and supervision throughout
the school system"
Both officials paid particular trib-
ute to Chairman Randolph of the
House District Committee, who in
troduced the bill and steered it
through the House, and to Chair
