Saving Food
 EquivolentOf Saving Lives
By MIRIAM WEINRIB Waterbury Nutrition Council

Five hundred million people are in danger of starvation! Not even in the dark ages were hunger, mis- cry, and disease so widespread.
 Guns speak the first word Of vic- tory, but only food can speak the last word" so states the Presidents Famine Emergency Committee.
 It's food and more food that alone can sustain the starving million of the world until they can get on their feet to build the kind of peace for which we fought
 Every single man, woman, and child can add bits of food to the worlds heap by not wasting. h. dividual food waste does not occur in pounds or bushels or acre lots, but in bits and driblets that pile up to make our garbage dumps the most opulent in the world
 The Health Advisory Council of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce suggests these ways to save food while maintaining a proper diet.
 Buy and eat foods that cannot easily be processed for storage or shipment, instead of foods that can be easily stored or sent abroad.
 Buy and serve seasonal foods when there is an abundance or ex- cess of them on the market.
 Eat fresh fruits, vegetables and meats rather than the same foods canned, dried, or processed
 Protect food from spoilage-keep it in the refrigerator, keep it cov- cred, and keep flies, reaches, and rats away from it.
 Prepare only as much food as your family will eat.
 Eat less bread, cake, cookies, pies breakfast cereals, macaroni, rice. and other food containing wheat flour.
 Eat less butter, margarine, salad dressings, and other oils or fats.
 Eat more potatoes, oatmeal, corn meal, vegetables, fruits, and other foods that can replace wheat prod ucts.
 Eat more boiled, baked, or stewed foods instead Of fried foods. to save fats.
 Save bread by buying and serving only what can be eaten, by storing it in moisture-proof wrapping in ly rising costs of construction re- duce business investment. The in- evitable result is a sharp depression

Hunting
 and Fishing
 By
 GENE UAT.T.ON

Last Monday, July 9th, marked the passing of a great sportsman Dr. Dudley B. Deming
 At time when sportsmen of wise counsel are invaluable to the cause of bettering hunting and fishing in our state, the passing of Dr. Deming is indeed a great loss to the sports world.
 On few occasions your writer has consulted Dr. Deming on the present condition of the sports in our state-a condition which has led to the Sportsmen's Group Meet ings, the first of which takes place Tuesday, July 18th, of which Dr. Deming was invited by your writer to be a guest.
 Known and respected as we'll in his professional field as in the sports-World, he was a great hand Ter and lover of dogs. He was your writer's guest speaker on this sub ject few months ago on WATR's s Hunting mad Fishing program, along with his two close friends, William LdJIIIlItI dllQ OI. O. n. Deere.
 With his love for dogs and the ereat-outdoors, 1t seems most sig nificant that his death took place while on his usual hike through the Woods-that his liver white Eng fish setter. Lady. 10 years old, was found beside his body. maintaining faithful vigil until searchers ar- rived

Patent Staff Of 500
Faces Delay in Return

Leslie Frazer, first assistant COM
missioner in charge of the United
States Patent Office in Richmond
was quoted yesterday by the Asso-
ciated Press as saying there is little
likelihood some 500 employees of the
patent office still in Richmond will
return to Washington soon.
Patent Office officials in Washing
ton said today about $50 employees
have been brought back to Wash
ington since the end of the war. A
large part of the patent Office staff
was moved to Richmond as a war
measure in 1912.
The officials explained Office space
shortages as well as housing diff
culties stood in the way of an early
return of the workers.
Officials of the Public Buildings
Administration said today they have
the money to bring the employees
back from Richmond, but that unless
additional office space is developed
in the Commerce Department Build
ing there is little hope of an early
move.
The Civil Aeronautics Administra-
tion is housed there and is expand
ing, it was explained, and Secretary
of Commerce Wallace has insisted
he needs space for reconversior
studies and other programs he il
undertaking. If the Maritime Com.
mission were to move, space for the
patent workers would be available
Buildings Administration spokesmer
said, but added such q move i.
unlikely.

.Cashing Of War Bond,
Cut Sharply in June;
Campaign Praised

A spot-check of District banks
indicates redemptions of War and
Savings Bonds in June were more
than 20.2 per cent less than in
March, peak month for cash-ins
this year, Wilmer j. Waller, chair
man Of the D. C. Savings Bonds
Division, said today as the current
publicity campaign to stimulate
subscription to Savings Bonds drew
to close
I'VE believe that this decline in
redemptions is a significant result
OF the Savings Bonds promotion
campaign that opened June g. Mr..
Waller declared. "Redemptions of
E bonds in the Nation during June
were the lowest for any month since
July"
This encouraging drop in the num-
ber of Government securities being
turned in for cash is largely due to
the publicity and advertising cam
palgn which ends Thursday, Mr..
Waller said. The campaign has
reminded people that United States
Savings Bonds are such valuable
and safe investment that their own
ers cash them only in a real finan-
clal emergency" he said. Buying
and holding these bonds has become
a part of American life"
The campaign will end in a blaze
OF pyrotechnics Thursday at the
fireworks display at the "Cavalcade
OF Freedom" show climaxing the

Grounds. A fireworks sign reading

UPWA Reports $4,000
Gain in Membership
Since April Merger
BY Joseph YOUNG

The United Public Workers of
America (CIO) today claimed its
membership has jumped by $4,000
persons since its initial convention
last April, making it 1.-The largest
public service union in the country"
The union said its membership
now numbered 100000 persons in
good standing" compared to the
$4,000 total when the United Fed
eral Workers of America merged
with the State, County and Munich
pal Workers of America at the At
lantic City convention.
The figures occasioned consider
able surprise since the new union
has been sharply attacked in Con-
gress and other high places ae a
left-wing organization as a result
OF its pro-Soviet foreign policy reso-
luton and thescontroversy over it's
strike policy. Some observers felt
the no-strike rider adopted by Con-
gress would frighten some members
away from the organization even
though the union at the last minute
revised its strike policy to meet the
terms of the amendment.
Some Losses Here.
Donald Murray. legislative officer
OF the union, said there had been
some losses in membership in some
agencies here, but that gains in
other bureaus had Offset these losses.
He said it was in cities outside
Washington that the union made
Its real membership gains.
Seventeen new Federal locals have
been formed throughout the United
States, Mr.. Murray said. However,
about two-thirds of the $4,000 gain
In membership resulted from the
signing Of employees in municipalities
and State governments, it was said.
The largest single gain in men,
bership was in Detroit where the
union won a special bargaining
election from several other unions
involving 1000 employees of the citys
| department of public works.
| Most of the new Federal workers
signed up are employees of the Vet
Grams Administration, National
Housing Agency, the Office of Price
Administration and various Naval
Air Stations, 1t was said.
Drops in Two Departments.
The membership dropped some
what IN the Agriculture and Treas
ury Departments here. Probable
reason for the drop in the Agricul-
ture Departments membership was
the fact that the first no-strike rider
was attached to its appropriations
bill. 1t wasn't until last week that
the union clarified it's no-strike
policy, and undoubtedly some of its
members at Agriculture dropped out
for fear they would lose their Jobs.
The rider. which has been tackled on
all agency appropriation bills, bars
employment Of any persons belong
ing to union which asserts the
right to strike against the Govern
ment.
The unions Executive Board met
last week and mapped plans ito
double" the membership during the
next two years. Mr.. Murray said he
hoped the goal could be met, adding
that "our membership gains since
April should encourage us in our
drive, since the $4,000 new members
were added without the benefit Of a
concerted membership drive or the
efficient organiZational setup that
we achieved at last weeks meeting"
