FRIED" CHICKEN WITHOUT
FAT,

From Mrs. L. p, ArIington.)
I would like to see this in your
paper for two reasons. Shortening
is SO hard to get and too much
greasy food is not good for any one
I work as a practical nurse in pri.
vate homes. Every one who has
eaten what I cook really likes it,
This is how I fry chicken without
any grease. Put the chicken, with
out -four, in very hot pan, brown
on both sides. then put water in
pan and cook until we'll done. 1t
really is good. Hope every one who
cooks it this way will enjoy it..
I started cooking chickens this
way during the war because short
ening called for SO many red points
and I cannot eat fried food.

BEACH" FOR TURTLE.

From L. S., Garrett Park, Md
Thanks to the RICH, my turtle
has enjoyed diet of scraped meat
since the turtle discussions last
spring. He never seemed to like
the commercial turtle food and re-
fused lettuce and tomatoes as other
turtles were reported to eat but
loves scraped meat. He will stand
up and beg for it, then eat from
my finger.
I do not remember any one writ
ing that they had a sand beach
for their turtle. I had mine in a
glass dish with rocks for him tc
climb on but he was always trying
to get out SO I put couple of gal
Ions of clean, damp sand in a cor.
regated box, then sunk a shallow
pie pan to the rim in it. At first
he had wonderful time climbing
in and out of the water, then, much
to my surprise, he buried himself
Now he stays buried most of the
time. He seems to be following
natures urge to hibernate even
though he is in warm room o.
could he have heard that there is
beef shortage! I keep the SAND
damp as nature would, were he out.
side in the ground. Has any one
else provided their turtle with q
place to bury himself?

STORAGE OF NAVY
CRAFT BEGINNING
Vast Armada OF Vessels
Can Put To Sea On
30-Day Notice

NEW YORK, June 1-P)- The
10Th Fleet, largest in the Navy, Is
quietly being buttoned up in "op'
Grafton Upper" at eight Atlantic
and Gulf ports, but the 1000 yes
sells can put to sea in an emergency
in a maximum of 80 days, district
naval headquarters said today.
Ranging from modern battle
wagon to tugs, the ships are be.
ing inactivated through use OF
cleaning materials, paint and pre-
servations, and nested in eight
groups with only skeleton crews
or caretakers.
The vessels originally cost 3d.
557. 700, 600, the Navy said ana
they can be kept in a battle-polsed
status for an estimated $3,8l2,oo0
a wear e~-lusive of salaries OF the
1.l55 officers and 13,441 men who
will look after them.
Together with the ships OF the
18th Fleet, which includes vessels
to be placed on inactive status
in west coast ports, the 18th Fleet
comprises two-thirds of the naval
might which numbered against the
Axis nations.
The Navy estimates the inactiva'
ton process will preserve each
vessel at least 20 years with a
minimum of upkeep and overhaul.
Ships left in commission with
skeleton crews can return to &C
tive status in 10 days, a spokes'
man said, while it would require
80 days for those out Of commits
sion and tended only by caretakers
So far 219 ships have been com,
pletely laid up and ATS are in vari
Gus stages of inactivation. An ad'
ditional $50 are scheduled to come
under the 10Th Fleet jurisdiction
with the whole process expected
to be completed by next Sept. /.

S MAJOR ADMITS
MASSACRE CHARGE
Orders Men To Shoot
Americans, Chides Them
For Looting Bodies

DACHAU. Germany, June L.
PA former y. S. major said If
a statement introduced at the
Malmedy massacre trial today thai
he had ordered his men to Shoot
eight unarmed American prison
ers in the battle of the bulge, but
chided them afterward for steal
ing rings from the bodies.
The major, Gustav Knitted, ex-
blamed that he feared looting OF
the dead might bring bad luck.
KNITTED is one of the IA defendants
on trial.
The statement, presented by the
prosecution, said he decided to
kill the prisoners because his unit
was cut off on all sides and he
had been moved spiritually by
the deaths of his bravest noncom
missioned officer.
Mrs. Regina Gregoire of Stave-
lot. Belgium, said she was among
eight women, Is children and two
men driven out of a cellar and
accused of shooting at German
soldiers. When the Belgians de-
MED the charge, she testified, the
Germans opened fire with pistols
and killed 10 of the group.
Jean Elias, a former member
of the Belgian resistance move
ment, told of finding the bodies OF
10 of his neighbors, ranging in age
from one to 80 years, who had
been killed by S. S. troops.

exhibited their fra1, gasoline pow
cred craft, the chairman said.

It was a lot of fun interviewing
the old time aviation men while
developing today's program. They
had plenty of experiences in the
days when II one had to do was
to land after their first solo flight
to become a full pledged pilot.
Sitting around batting the breeze

several airplane manufacturers
right here in Wilmington. OF course
that vas many years ago-but we
did have them. 1 also learned
from Donald King a bit of in

who have families and who 60 to
bed at decent hours, but l never
get the chance to turn in until a
full working day after the sun has
set, it usually being somewhere
around four or five in the morning
before I lay these weary bones
down for a rest.
Therefore, I cannot 60 through
the business of taking my bath,
getting into my night clothes, and
them popping out with the kero-
sene can to mop the screens be-
fore, and not after, sunset.
AS a matter of fact, I do not
believe there is anybody who lives
in my neighborhood, or the neigh
borhoods of Carolina Beach, Will
1nington, Kure's Beach, Long
Beach, or Holden's-that's getting
in a plug for all the beaches l can
think of in this area-who could
use the recipe because l don't
know any of these people who are
willing to go to bed before sunset
even to free themselves OF the
menace of the sand flea. Most OF
them, 1 have observed, never be-
gin to think of retiring until just
about the time of false dawn.
Now, if this recipe will work on
the sand fleas just before sunset it
seems to me that it might work
on them just as well just before
sunrise. If so, I pass it along to
them for whatever use they may
be able to make of it. And l thank
my considerate correspondent for
sending it in to me.
However, this is all beside the
point. 1t is only out of the goodness
of my heart that I'm passing this
recipe along at all.

cept that truck which comes when
I am force to claw them off my

pen to be other recipes for Kidding

be glad to start a pest column

A Vicious Circle

The Office of Price Administration
has authorized an advance of one cent
per average loaf of bread. It also has
granted a two cent increase in an eight
ounce package of macaroni and one cent
for smaller packages of noodles. Break
fast cereals except corn flakes, pulled
wheat and pulled rice go up n to three
cents a package and r meal and
packaged hominy grits one to two cents.
The reason given for the rises in price
is the greater cost of production and
in the case of flour to offset the suspen-
sion of subsidies. Nobody will go broke
as a result, and so far as subsidies are
concerned taxpaying consumers may be
benefited. Subsidies are costly, as the
American people have reason to know,
since they have always had to put up
the money with which to pay them.
But the increases thus announced
and others previously allowed, together
with others still to come, small as they
are individually, reflect the spiraling
cost of living at the same time they
prove the failure to stave off initiation.
Without direct information on the
subject We are convinced that the great
est complaint against advancing living
costs will come from union labor lead
ers--William Green of the A. F. of L.
has already been eloquent on the subject
who through the strikes they con-
Quoted in major industries to raise pay
roll levels, and in which they were sue
cessful with invaluable aid by President
Truman, r largely responsible for the
increasing costs of production which
are sending retail prices upward.
Having accomplished their first pur-
pose - more take-home pay and now
perceiving that the strike victories are
sending prices up at the sacrifice of ex-
cess earnings, these same leaders are
already sounding the horn for more
strikes. Is it possible that any one in
high government position, from Presi-
dent Truman down, can fail to recog-
nlze the vicious circle they are drawing
around the lives and pocketbooks of the
nations entire population?
