REMARRIAGE PROBLEM

When soldiers come back to their war
brides, will some find their hasty mar
riages a mistake? Rt Rev. Cameron j.
Davis, Episcopal bishop of western New
York, fears So He said his church should
liberalize its rule about remarriage (only
the innocent party may remarry after a
divorce for infidelity).
Bishop Davis, who heads the Episcopal
Joint Commission on Holy Matrimony,
suggested a committee in each diocese

concentrations before next year.

IN APPRECIATION
(Redlands FactS)

While we may not always be indlvld-
ually happy with what comes as our share
of gasoline or round steak, we are indebt-
ed to the men and women of the COM
munity who have given of their time and
patience to serve on the local ration
board.
The ones who serve voluntarily can at
least resign. Those four paid employees
are the ones who meet the hour-to-hour
confusion of persons who have not read
their instructions, who come unprepared
and wish to blame someone else for their
own mistakes.
Neither board members nor office per-
sonnel of the board here could in any
way be held accountable for the cancella-
tions of red and blue stamps as an
nounced by the national office. 1t is en-
tirely possible that those OF us who held
back our points were as much to blame
as anyone.
In the three years that boards have
been seeing to it that we shared as near
share-and-share alike as we could for
goods and materials, how many times
have we expressed our appreciation to
the local men and women who have In
terpreted rulings, adjusted our individ-
ual cases, or answered our many ques-
tions? The next time you start to make

Lofhario's S Case

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. CUP)
The box score on the multiple
marriages of sad-eyed trolley con-
ductor Francies Harrison Van VIE
rose to IA Saturday, with disclosure
of two more weddings without ben
eft of divorce, in addition to his
admitted u wives.
California Bureau OF Vital Statis-
tics records show the Casanova OF
the car lines" married Edna Ruth
Eastman, then 81, on December IL.
1917, in Oakland, Calif.-the same
year he wed admitted wife number
three, Adeline, in the same city.
Van VIE also married Myrtle M.
Harris, then 35, in Berkeley, Calf,
on November IA, 1920, making the
18th known bride. That was the year
he also wed Martha Winston in Mil
Waukee, Wisconsin.
The now elderly, little round man
signed his name Harrison D. Van
VIE for the Berkeley ceremony, but
the handwriting appears the same
as that on the sheaf of indubitably
genuine Van Vie marriage licenses.
Only once during his Al year
matrimonial career did Van VIE
repeat name among his wives-in
1943 he wed a second Myrtle in
Reno, Nevada.
The unhappy conductor, charged
with three counts of bigamy, is now
in Jail, unable to raise $4,000 bail.
His attorney, James Toner, will

ming sugar this year?
A. No.
Q, What about canning fruit
without sugar?
A. If your sugar runs short, put
up some fruit without sugar, and
sweeten to taste when you serve.
Sugar helps canned fruit hold its
shapes color and flavor, but it is
not necessary to keep fruit from
spelling. Process unsweetened
fruit the same as sweetened.
Q. How can I stretch my sugarf
A. By avoiding misuse and
waste. The Department Of Agri-
culture says that honey may be
used to replace as much as half
the sugar called for in canning or
corn syrup may replace as much
as one-third. Simple syrups may
also be made to extend sugar. The
U. S. Department of Agriculture
recommends the following seven
points:
1. Can only fresh food, in tip
top condition.
2. Have food, jars, everything
used in canning thoroughly clean.
8. Work quickly, so as to can

4. Heat food hot enough and
long enough to make bacteria and
other organisms harmless so they
won't "work" in the food and
make it spoil.
5. Follow up-to-date directions
and timetables, backed up by sci.
entific research.

0PA Answers
Questions On
canning SUGAR

In an attempt to clarity the reg
ulations in canning sugar, the Reg
ional Office Of the OPA has pre-
pared the following questions and
answers:
Q. How do I get canning sugar?
A. By applying to your local
War Price and Rationing Board.
You may fill out Form R-341 at
the board or request one from the
board by mail. Attach Spare
Stamp No. 10 from Book Four for
each member Of the family unit
for which application is made and
forward the completed applica-
tion to the board.
Q. How much sugar do / get for
home canning?
A. Because of the extremely
tight sugar situation, local boards
in Massachusetts will only issue
up to a maximum of five pounds
per person until further notice.
This does not mean that every
person will receive the maximum
Of five pounds. The board will de-
termine the amount Of sugar to
be granted based on information
furnished by the housewife. Re-
member that because of the scar
city Of sugar and the quotas as
signed to each board the amounts
which can be issued will be con-
siderably less than in previous
years.
Q. Does this restriction mean
that I can get only five pounds
during the entire season?
A. No. The maximum for the
entire canning season ending Oct.
81 is Is pounds per person and
not more than 120 pounds to any
family.
Q. When will I be able to get
the rest of my canning sugar al
lotment?
A. Due to the extreme sugar
shortage, OPA has set no date,
but it is expected that the an
nouncement will be made before
tree fruits. suitable for canning,
are available.
@. What is the reason for the
five pound maximum restriction
until further notice?
A. To spread the limited supply
of sugar among those who wish
to can or preserve early season
fruits. Persons who do not need
canning sugar now should delay
filing applications so the current
supply of sugar will be available
for immediate needs.
Q, Do the boards issue sugar
coupons for home canine?
A. Yes. To meet individual re-
uuirements, both five-pound, and
one-pound coupons viii be issued
by boards. Before a five-pound
canning coupon is used, it must
contain the SIGNATURE and War
Ration Book Four number Of the
person who applied for the sugar.

The Foe Within

In our battle for justice we
must realize that there are
thousands Of traitors within
our rankS-men and women
who, having mortgaged their
own craven souls to our en-
emies, are willing and anx-
lous to sell out our group for
a mess Of pottage. In myriads
Of instances they have al
ready done so. Many Of these
beings are like moles which
burroW beneath the surface,
and they have by their perm
iciouS activities placed the
entire structure of our rights
in peril. The vilest, cruelest,
most brutal, craftiest, most

envy is far less dangerous
than the vile, crafty, sinking,
Snake-like burrowing foe

URUGUAY MAKES pR0pOSAL AIMED
 AT REAL PEACE
Collective Intervention Put Upfo Hemisphere Am-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-- Top State Department officials studied today proposal by Uruguay for col lective intervention by the Ameri- can republics in the domestic af- fairs of another American nation if necessary to protect. peace.
 The suggestion was contained in a note handed to William Dawson, U. s. Ambassador to Montevideo, by Uruguayan Foreign Minister Albert Rodriguez Lareta. The State De- partment made it available to corres- pondents here last night.
 There was possibility of an early statement of American reaction to the proposal because of it's immed- fate bearing on Argentina where the State Department says Fascism ex- ists.
 The Uruguayan proposal was Him. ited strictly to the nations of this hemisphere and specified that joint intervention should be limited to:
 l. The mere re-establishment of essential rights"
 2. Fulfillment of freely contract ed international relations.
 The Uruguayan note said the prin- ciple of e-intervention, a car dinal policy in inter American af- fairs, cannot be converted into a right to invoke one principle in order to be able to violate all other prin- ciples with immunity"
