Army. Navy Plon
To Release 100000
Within Five Months

The Navy Department in
Washington announced plans
to release 10000 reservists
from active duty within the
next five months. This relief
applies to World War II vet
Grams involuntarily called
from the non-drill reserves
who have served from IL to II
months since the start of the
Korean fighting. This is said
to be in line with the Defense
Departments policy to return
men called up since Korea to
civilian life as soon as possible.
The Army last month an
nounced a program to release
more than 100000 enlisted re-
servists by the end of this
year. A similar release pro-
gram for the Marine Corp is
already under way.
The Navy has also an
nounced that 5000 non-com-
missioned officers from the en-
listed reserves will be called
to active duty between Octo-
Der lst and November Is.
These are mostly specialists
such as, radar men, radio men
and machinist mates.

ALLIED OFFICERS
FEAR RED TRAP IN
ARMISTICE TALKS

On at least one front, the
west central, Allied officers
have shown alarm by a large
Chinese build-up, regardless of
the Kaesong truce talks. The
possibility of a communist
doublecross was discussed
widely. Suspicion of the COM
munist motives seems to have
reached as high as General
Matthew Ridgeway and Lieut.
General James A. Van Fleet,
both of whom were reported
to be p~essimistic.

Allowed to Choose
ArmY.M urine

The Defense Department dis
closed that draftees called up
in August and September will
be allowed to choose between
the Army and Marine Corp,
whenever possible. The De
partment said earlier that
1000 of the $4,000 indicted in
August and 5000 of the $4,000
call for September will go to
the Marine Corp. The Marines
are using the draft for the first
time since World War II.
A spokesman said regula-

which will determine how the
draftees are to be divided
among the two services.

Organic Act Committee To
Meet Group on Mainland

The Organic Act Committee
met in Christiansted, Saint
Croix on Tuesday, July 10,
1851, at 1000 o'clock AM, and
by unanimous agreement of
the members present decided
that it was vitality necessary,
in order to promote interest
in the draft of Organic Act as
passed by the Legislative As
sembly and approved by a vast
majority of the People of the
Virgin Islands, that the Com
mittee proceed to the main
land on notice from the Virgin
Islands Groups and leaders on
the mainland to hold a series
of conferences not to exceed
Is days.
The committee deems it of
the utmost Importance to en-
list the support and full CO.
operation of mainland leaders
of the Virgin Islands groups at
this time because of persistent
and confirmed rumors to the
effect that certain high rank
ing officials in Washington are
doggedly to relieve
the people of the Virgin Is
lands of some of their hard
won political advancement
which was attained since the
passage of the Organic Act by
leadership.

M. V. B. A. News

We'll, it's November, time to get set for that terrible cold weather we always seem to get the first part of December, and for which we never seem to be quite we'll enough prepared.
 Our meeting last Tuesday eve- ming at Miss Kellogg's farm was well attended. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed it.
 The resolution on the accep- tance of responsibility of jurisdic- tion over the Little Susitna graz ing are by the M. V. G. A. was passed.
 MT. Vic Falk, Harold Thuma and Joe Geiselson are the men who will act on any business per taining to the project.
 MT. Sweetman gave us a review on the developments of the asso- citation and also quite a little on feeds and feeding. Two interest ing points were brought out and stressed, which l believe bear re- beating because of importance. First and most important in my opinion was on feeding. The fact that once you let cow get down on her production it can not be raised again until she freshens. You might raise it a little, but not much. Thru the fall months especially is very critical time. It seems that quite a few have found that out the hard way this fall. You say nothing can be done about this? I say there is and plenty should be done about it. I won't go into that this time but the dairyman who is conscienci- ously trying to improve himself and his herd knows what should be done.
 The second point that MT. Sweetman stressed was the inn portance of extra light during the winter months to assist in bring ing on best periods and aiding in conception. We of this area are convinced that it also helps the milk production.

Sports Jackets For
Active Boy Needed

Given sport jackets in line with
his own thinking, the grammer
grade young man will have some
thing he can wear around the
clock, from season to season. And
filling the bill to perfection are
tailored and outerwear jackets,
now designed with juniors action

but with jaunty effects such as
flap and patch pockets, back or
side vents and of rougher fabrics
such as corduroy or hubby tweeds,
can be worn outdoors and indoors
during early fall and late spring
days. 1t can also successfully
double as a dress-up outfit with
contrasting Stacks.

Stretch Budget By
Sewing At Home

It's fun to sew for back to school
and it's wise economy, too.
Just think how far that back to
school wardrobe budget can be
stretched. And how many delight
full extras can be had that other
wise could never have been afford
ed.
Best of all, it's a gay, colorful
year for fabrics with many excit-
ing new types being introduced:
eottons, rayons, new blends such as
wool and rayon and wool and n.y.
Ion, that have a good crisp quality
that tailors well.
Cottons, many of which have
been treated for crease resistance,
are ready to be selected and made
up into classic little school dresses,
neat little blouses to complement
skirts and jumpers, and even stoles
for the older girls and sport shirts
for the boys.
Corduroy, ever a back to school
classic for jumpers, skirts and
dresses, is expected to assume a
more important part this year than
it has previously in wide-wale
version.

with short sleeves, tiny collar
and button or yoke fashion details
make for pretty wearing. The
classic short-sleeve slip-on and
long-sleeve cardigan sweaters she
adores, are available in agreater
variety.
Even little girl suits are de-
signed with fair for the needs
of the very young lady and become

To Keep Her Warm
To keep her warm and looking
lovely, too, there are sport jackets
with Innings to match the color of
one of her skirts as we'll as classic
cardigans, looking gay as can be

Then for school time wear, coats

When youngsters compare the
contents of their school lunch
boxes, a mothers rating among
them may sink or soar!
The child who gobbles every bite
with good appetite-and consider
able pride - is the one whose
mother understands that lunchbox
menus should be different from
day to day, and that no meal is
complete without a yummy sur
prise.
The surprise may be a jar of
salad or pudding; it might be a
very special big orange, or a few
dates with walnut meats, or stalk
of celery PARTED up" with filling
from the jar of sandwich or cheese
spread.
Sometimes the cookies or cup
cake will be an extra good home
made kind-and no child will know
or care that mother took the easy
way and baked it from a packaged
mix.
The boxed lunch, like any other
meal, needs differences of taste and
texture: something crunchy as well
as something soft, something sweet
as well as something piquant. With
a we'll stocked pantry, even the
busiest mother should be able to
provide variety.
Cream cheese and cottage cheese
are always a good beginning for a
sandwich filling. For vegetable
spread, combine either one with
shredded carrot or chopped raw
spinach. Or make a sweet spread
by mixing with nuts, jelly, OF
raisins.
Most youngsters like peanut
butter, and will like it's variations;
either bits of crisped bacon, or a
blend with banana and honey.
Hard cooked egg and mayor,
naise may fill a sandwich or be
combined with celery for the salad
jar. For other filling suggestions
consider the following:
LIVER SANDWICH SPREAD
Hard cooked egg yolk
Mayonnaise
Salt
Pan broil liver over low fire

Detachable Apron
OUerskirt Popular

There's a housewifely touch to
new teen age and coed fashions
this year. It's the detachable apron
overskirt designed to add fulIness
to narrow skirts and sometimes
meant to double as a part stole.
Available in wool plaids and
plains that are often adorned with
fringed hens, as we'll as rustling
taffetas for dress-up, the apron
can be buttoned or tied-on from
the front, back or side. 1t appears
as a wrap-around style, tunic and
as a typical puffy apron effect, any
of which can be worn over every
thing from skirts to Stacks.

terra, usually operated on low
cost, non-profit basis, eliminates
the necessity of carrying lunch
box, though this is rare. In most
instances food available at school
must be amplified for best nutri-
ton, by what the child brings
from home.
In either case, mothers best bet
is to plan to influence her child
and win him over to good nutri-
ton by packing lunch box for
him. 1t should be a good lunch
box, equipped with vacuum bottle
for either cold milk or hot soup or
cocoa, as the occasion requires, and
it should carry enough tempting
surprises to insure balancing of the
diet.
Needs Good Breakfast
A breakfast that includes citrus
juice, a big bowl of whole grain
cereals with milk over it, and more
milk to drink, takes care of three
daily school child diet musts at
the very beginning. Sometimes
an egg should be included.
More nourishment can be packed
in the lunch box. Mainstay of the
| lunch hoy is. of COURSE the sand
WITCH, but vegetables and soups and
more milk, too, can be put here.
And the variety of breads in
Guiding wheat, rye, and such
breads as raisin bread, insures
plenty of opportunity for tempting
treatments.

This is the right of every child:
to have enough of the food he
needs to eat, to have adequate care,
and to have a good education.
One million more children than
ever before will enter our schools
next fall. That means we need
more teachers we'll qualified
teachers. We also need more
schools and more equipment. At
the same time, we must keep the
schools we have in good repair SO
that they are safe and adequate.
We must also encourage men
and women to enter and stay in
the teaching profession by treat
ing teachers as the important per
sons they are and by assuring them
adequate salaries. We must also
provide state and perhaps Federal
aid to education in communities
which cannot otherwise support
good schools.
Day Care Centers
When there is a shortage of male
workers, as there will be when war
production speeds up, more moth
ers will take jobs. This will neces-
state day care centers, and ex-
tended school services for the chill
dren of women employed outside
their homes.
President Truman calls atten-
ton to the fact that in recent
months so to 60 per cent of the

examinations in the current draft
were rejected because Of physical
and mental defects. He also
points out that during the second
World War 1873 per cent of the
men examined by Selective Serv-
ice were rejected as physically OF
mentally unfit.
Many of these defects could have
been corrected if treated early

Noon Day Meal Is Problem
But it is the noon day meal for
the child that looms as the pivotal
point in her planning, for here the
balance she seeks may become
overly weighted with starches and
sweets if the child who eats lunch
away from home during the school
day is free to choose whatever is
the most tempting at the moment.
1t takes experience and train
ing before a child learns what is
good for him, and that what is
good for him can also be good to
eat. Nowadays, when most children
usually have food allowances,
food indiscretions can be expect
ed. True the occasional discre-
ton can be expected-even one that
results in an upset stomach-will
do no great harm.
The danger is that indescretion
may become a habit resulting in
damage to health over the long
range. 1t shows up in lowered
vitality, less resistance to illness,
and poor grades in class due to
inability to concentrate.
In School Cafeteria
If mother, therefore, makes her
self familiar with the food avail
able to children at school, she will
then be in position to do her
planning and training more accur-
ately.
In some instances the school cafe
