Show THE BULLETIN, BINGHAM, UTAH WjklPhillipr P m N mnm ITALY AND INVASION ETIQUETTE ("Pamphlets urging Italians to be polite to Invaders have been circu-lated la Italy." News Item.) Italy doesn't want any misunder-standing about this Invasion. She knows the danger she faces if it is slowed up too much. She wants the invaders to feel at home. This Is one of the most im-portant invasions any country ever faced. And no country ever had more reason to want it to come off all right and with all possible smoothness. "I've got some inside lines In Italy," said Elmer Twitchell today, "and my sources of information tell me the Italians want our Invasion to be a 100 per cent success. They don't want any half-heart- wel-comes. They hold that any Italian with the best interests of his country at heart will show the invaders ev-ery courtesy, and throw in a few flowers. "After a country has had the Nazis around a few weeks it will welcome any change, however un-usual," he continued. "There are thousands of Italians learning the words and music of 'Yankee Doodle Dandy right now so they will be abie to sing and play it when we are sighted anywhere near shore. They're so sick of what Hitler has done to their country that even Mus-solini is getting impatient at the Al-lies for holding off so long." Twitchell may be right. There are some signs of it. This depart-ment has just received a report that rules of Invasion Etiquette are be-ing circulated all over Italy, the pur-pose being to see that no Italian does or says anything that might give an invading party the notion its arrival is not fully appreciated. We hear the following rules have been adopted: 1. Blocking streets or sidewalks to invaders must be avoided. 2. All persons near any dock or beach when invaders appear shall bow respectfully, give a cheery greeting and step to one side in or-der not to interfere with the speed invasion. 3. All questions by invaders shall be answered politely, Italians asked for directions should, whenever pos-sible, not only give them fully, but accompany the Invaders to the de-sired ooint. 4. It shall be considered good etiquette to invite an invader into the house. 5. Italians observing any attempt by Nazis to slow up the invaders shall oppose such attempts. 6. In rushing to the waterfront to welcome invasion all slow moving natives shall keep to the right in order to permit swifter moving peo-ple to pass. The baseball season is on. Broad-casts will be made to troops all over the world. And fighting morale is cer-tain to be built up. There will be more than one case where a Yank, after making some heroic charge and cap-turing a bunch of Heinies against great odds will be asked, "How did you do it? What did you think of as you went over the top?" And the answer will be, "l was thinking about that lousy decision the ump made against the Yanks in the ninth and it made me sore."

War Brings America Knowledge of How To Eat Properly; Once Lowly Vitamin Now Important Item in Balanced Diet U. S. Finds It's Protein and Not Meat That Counts; Most Nutritive Cuts Once Scorned by Housewives; Heavy Meals Necessary for Workers. tlon in varying degrees occur fre-quently in all parts of the country. Diets of many industrial workers appeared to be below the level of what Is required for optimum nu-tritionand all because foods are not chosen wisely! Nutritionists figure that the noon meal must include approximately one-thir- d of the day's requirements of protein, minerals, vitamins and calories for heavy workers. Good breakfasts are essential and between-mea- l lunches are helpful in overcoming fatigue during the day. Between-mea- l lunches of foods pro-viding minerals and vitamins and about one ounce of easily digested carbohydrates are the most bene-ficial. If the housewife has received one, she probably has received a thou-sand suggestions on how to get the most out of food these days. But when these suggestions are consid-ered from both nutritive as well as economical viewpoints, it will be By AL JEDLICKA Released by Western Newipaper Union. Time was not so very long ago when all of this nutritive and vitamin talk sounded kind of silly. That was the time when al-most everybody thought that vitamins were something that came in capsules or pills; when women figured that they knew all of the tricks of the culinary trade, and when we all liked food for its taste and gave little consideration to its minerals, proteins, car-bohydrates, etc. Plates were heaped with po-tatoes and meat; if there were any kids around, few vegetables were served be-cause they didn't like them; and then more potatoes and more meat, and finally a great big slug of pie, was put down to top off a good meal. If the Little Woman came home from some cook in 2 school all Soybeans have been found to be extremely high in protein and economical in production. It has been estimated that the same amount of protein as in meat can be raised from soybeans at about one-tent- h the cost. Other high protein foods include white, navy and kidney beans; black peas, peanuts and peanut butter. Peanuts never have been taken very seriously except at ball games may-be, but with the emphasis on their decided food value and the indus-trial use for their oil, they have come into extensive cultivation in the South. Nutritionists have been careful not to put all of their eggs in one basket, however. While pointing out the food value of vegetables, one expert explains: "... 'Ersatz' dishes of beans, peas, lentils and the like are foods having a lower biologic value than meat it-self. They are sometimes referred to as meat substitutes, and they are useful, but one should make cer-tain that milk, eggs and cheese are included in the menu to furnish bio-logic values similar to meat, chicken and fish." To obtain a balance in diet for necessary nutrition, another expert MVP jl steps to the head of the class with the suggestion that milk, leafy green or yellow vegetables, potatoes, cit-rus fruits, tomatoes, whole grain or enriched cereals, meat or meat al-ternates and occasionally an egg be included in the day's meals. Meats Also Have Vitamins. This expert had in mind the fact that besides protein, meats also pos-sess vitamins and minerals; so that in finding protein substitutes, it is also necessary to supply vitamin supplements. Vitamin Bl and vitamins B2 and G are present in meat, chiefly in pork. To make up for any losses, whole wheat bread, enriched bread or cereals and milk may be eaten instead. Some nutritionists believe that worked up about the science of food and its preparation, the head man dampened her enthusiasm by gently but firmly advising her that all that vitamin and mineral stuff was the bunk, and meat and potatoes were good enough to keep the world going. In fact, the head man argued in-vincibly, hadn't the world been liv-ing on potatoes and meat, etc., since man's memory runneth, and hadn't she, as well as he, been raised on the old standbys and, what was wrong with them? Nothing! of course. But that was before December 7, 1941. A lot of things have happened since then and one of them is Mr. and Mrs. America's attitude toward the vitamin and its entourage. Meat and other rationing have thrown us on the defensive and it is now a question of stretching foods, finding substitutes and all of the time seek-ing to maintain nutritive values. The upshot of the whole thing is that we might emerge from the war with a more intelligent knowledge of food, of the purpose of its varieties, and consequently be in a position to guide our healthy growth by exact standards. If we were to be awfully enthu-siastic about the situation, we might say that scientific nutrition may be the one big development following the war, just like the automobile came into its own in 1919. But a lot of people who will find it hard to reform their old eating habits prob-ably would argue to the death that we were wrong, because the airplane will be the thing with peace. Must Find Proteins. Since meat rationing came along, food experts have been pointing out the necessity of seeking other sources of protein. In so doing, they have consoled us no end by their reminder that, after all, it's not the v MMaaaMh s W Am,? lit! V?. Vegetables rich in proteins. considered that most of them have something on the ball. For instance: It's the style to eat potato skins. Baked potatoes or potatoes cooked in their jackets have a lot of good minerals just beneath the skin, so when they're thrown away we're not getting the greatest nutritive value for our money. And this brings up the subject of eating the greens un-der salads. Valuable minerals and vitamins are stored there to be had for the eating. The sugar supply should go far-ther now because it's considered good manners to stir tea and coffee vigorously after adding sugar, so we can get its full sweeteniiy value. This will be even more important when iced tea days appear if we have the iced tea. We used to eat bread and gravy when we ate alone, or put aside our "Sunday" manners, but now it's the style to eat gravy on hot bis-cuits, muffins and bread. Every homemaker is being asked to save all drippings and to serve them as gravy to extend the good meat flavor and add nutritive value to the meaL Everyone likes to eat around the bone of a juicy broiled lamb chop or a piece of fried chicken, and now we're not only told that it's permis-sabl- e from the standpoint of man-ners, but we're encouraged to follow this procedure because it's the trend. Learn to Carve. Not the very least of the sugges-tions is one directed toward the head man as well as the little woman. Nowadays, if Papa does the carving at the table, Papa is advised to learn how to carve. It seems there's more to carving than merely wearing the badge of authority; indeed, good carving avoids waste, assures uniform slic-ing- s (important to the preservation of harmony in every home) and af-fords extra servings. Perfectly elementary in itself is the fact that a sharp knife is essen-tial to a good carver. And equally elementary, a good carver should take enough interest in his tool to as-sure its care. Thus, knives should not be let loose in a drawer where other metal can dull or nick the blade. A properly sharpened knife can be kept keen for a long time by a dozen strokes with a steel before use. In carving any cut of meat it is desirable to understand the anatomy of bone structure of the cut to be carved and to remember that meat should always be carved across the grain. Steak, because it is tender and the meat fibers are already rela-tively short, is an exception to the rule. , t - f i Study food on nutrition basis. Americans have never known how to shop for meat. One says that the most nutritious parts of every car-cass are seldom chosen at all, but go into making fertilizer or feed. Blood, lungs, stomach, pancreas, kidney, brain, sweetbreads and hearts these are among the items which the housewife passed up with untroubled conscience on her shop-ping tours. One nutritionist remarked that the meat packers who knew the pecu-liarities of the people, put choice tidbits like those mentioned above into their canned dog food. As a result, he says, much dog food was superior in nutritive value to some of the meat canned for human con-sumption. "There is one thing we shall do well to remember," the nutritionist declares, "and that is there is no evidence to support the theory that when we buy expensive cuts of meat we are buying more or better pro-tein than the cheaper cuts would provide us. "Generally speaking, American ' habits of choosing, buying, preparing and serving meats have been waste-ful of both food value and money. Americans in the main have scorned the animal organs and the cheaper cuts of muscle meat, tasteful and nutritious though these may be. Many people habitually spurn fat meats. On the other hand, we rush to buy the cuts which include a large proportion of bone and gristle, which represents waste." Find Adequate Diets. The National Research council in a recent report on nutrition asserted that inadequate diets and malnutri-- Eggs have some meat value. meat that makes meat valuable, but the protein it contains. "Meat is necessary to our diet be-cause of its high protein content," writes one nutritionist. "... There-fore, other foods high in protein can be made to do as well. 'One of these," the nutritionist continues, "is fish. Perhaps during this war our domestic cheese will come Into its own. From the simple cottage cheese to the fancy Swiss, it equals in quality any in the world and could be used to great advan-tage, being superb as a food because of the high quality of its proteins."

AIR PRISONERS IN GERMANY The fate of American fliers in the Doolittle raid has raised the ques-tion: What happens to airmen who go down over Europe? Here is the answer from an officer of the U. S. bomber command In England. It fliers ball out and get down safely over France, Belgium or oc-cupied Europe, their chances of get-ting back to England are pretty good. They become prisoners of war, but In the course of exchanging prisoners, they may soon get back to base. If they ball out over Germany, there's not much chance of getting back. But so far as we know, the treatment of air prisoners is similar to that of other prisoners, and varies according to rank. There Is one incident, however, that damns the German record the story of Paddy Flnucane. Most peo-ple suppose that the famous RAF ace lost his life because his Spitfire crashed Into the channel after being hit over France. The truth Is though this has nev-e- r been published that as Flnucane was failing, he was strafed by Ger-man machine gunfire, and he was already dead when he hit the water. Thus a new meaning comes to Flnucane's famous phrase, "This Is it, chaps." TOUGH JOB When you sift down all the hulla-baloo about Elmer Davis and his Office of War Information, the only valid criticism you can make against the drawling Hoosier Is that he is working too hard. The last two weeks when he went on the air, he was so exhausted he had a stand-b- y alongside ready to take up his script if he collapsed. Davis works far into the night, tries to read all that his voluminous office produces, sees almost every-one who wants to see him. But given a tough situation, basic-ally he has done a good job. Sena-tors like Montana's Wheeler and Nevada's McCarran, whose acid di-gestive systems are always poisoning their political outlook, make a wry face at Davis. But Wheeler and McCarran are always demanding more facts and inside fact Is that Davis has been fighting their battle in keeping the American public In-formed. Most of Davis fight is getting news, squeezing it out of government bureaus which don't want to give, making the army and navy release facts which show up their mistakes, rowing with Czarubber Jeffers be-cause his estimates on tires are too rosy. When Davis stepped down from his well-payin- g radio job to correlate government information, everyone envied him his job, thought he had a softie. But the job of digging news, accurate news, unpleasant news out of the government is not soft. And It is not popular. Davis is a good newsman. Being such, he is not popular, never will be in some quarters. Note: Davis did his best to re-lease the story on bombing Tokyo long ago. Several times he urged the White House that the American public should know the facts. Ear-lier, when the Japs released a pic-ture of U. S. fliers supposedly cap-tured in the Tokyo raid, Davis want-ed to point out the truth, namely that these were naval fliers, not Doolit-tle'- s. They had been captured in a naval battle. This explanation was broadcast to foreign countries by OWI, but Davis, through no fault of his, was not permitted to tell folks at home. FDR'S CONGRESSMAN As commander-in-chief- , the Presi-dent has supreme powers in the con-duct of the war, but he Is just an-other citizen on the books of the Hyde Park, N. Y., rationing board. At a recent White House meeting, the President was telling three con-gressmen. Gale, Republican, of Min-nesota, Jackson, Democrat, of Wash-ington, and Manasco, Democrat, of Alabama, about the "red tape" in-volved in buying meat and groceries on his trips home to Hyde Park. "I have my problems with point rationing the same as you fellows," he grinned. "Why don't you write your con-gressman?" suggested Republican Representative Gale. The President reflected briefly, then threw up his hands and roared with laughter. "Oh, no," he exclaimed, "not that!" The man who represents the Hyde Park district in congress Is Hamilton Fish, one of the most vitriolic, vi-tuperative foes the President has in congress. MERRY-GO-ROUN- 41 A high ranking army officer, just back from a U. S. tour, makes this observation: "High morale may be lowered by too much talk of post-war planning, which makes the boys think the show is almost over."

He passes the defunct Jap embassy precisely at eight. IP Talcs of the Town: When the editors and publishers were in town for their annual con ventlon several of them were talking shop . . . One recalled the time when Heywood Broun was a cub and he was instructed to come in very early one Christmas morn . . . When Broun arrived the empty city room depressed him. The desks were littered with remnants of the previous night's tale clippings, bare spikes, curled up cheese sandwiches and beer containers . . . Suddenly, off in a corner, a telegraph instru-ment started to click . . . Tobacco tins were jammed against the tele-graph "bugs" to make them louder . . . One after the other Joined in the monotonous chorus all chirping the same message ... He could tell, he said later, that they were trying to report something impor-tant happening somewhere, but he couldn't understand a word they were tapping . . . Finally, in came a sleepy telegrapher . . . Broun said: "Please tell me what is happening. They are all clicking madly. Maybe a liner has been sunk or a king assassinated or an earth-quake! I'm sure it's a big story and our paper is being scooped!" The veteran listened to one after the other and then smiled . . . "This is Christmas, son," said the old-time- r, "they are all saying the same thing. A Child Is born a Child is born--a Child is born!" In the days when most of the pa-pers were on Park Row, a certain editor was nicknamed Simon Legree because of the way he kicked around some of the staff . . . One night, and this is journalistic history, a staffer couldn't stand the abuse any longer ... He threw the editor down a flight of stairs . . . The next night when he came in the staff presented the reporter with a gold watch inscribed: "For the .Best Journalism in 1928." One night some of us were privi-leged to meet Sgt. Al Schmid, the Philadelphia boy who was decorated at Guadalcanal for erasing over 200 Japs until one of their grenades blinded him . . . Al, who is Dutch-Iris-has a different slant on the war ... He talked a lot about two of his buddies, one Rivers, a Protes-tant, who died there, and one lad named Diamond from Brooklyn, a Jewish chap . . . "They say," said Al, "that I killed 2d0 Japs. I don't know how true that is. I never said that. I was told so by people who read It in the papers" . . . And he kept talking about the others or wishing hard that he could do some-thing about "waking up the people back home!" When the collared the last big bunch of Nazi spies (just before we entered the war) some of the prisoners revealed the following . . . That after the advance men had been smuggled in and had made all the most elaborate preparations (laying the ground work with secret radio stations and all the other standbys) the Nazis sent over their very best agent ... He was a man who had worked all over the world, and he had never, failed on any as-signment . . . There was just noth-ing this bloke didn't know about the noble art of espionage . . . And he was sent here to take charge of mat-ters ... On his first day in New York the other Nazi spies gathered to meet him where he planned to give them their instructions ... On his way to the rendezvous, however, something went wrong with the script . . . Even the higher-up- s in Berlin never figured to coach him in a most important detail . . . How to cross the street at Times Square. The great spy was killed trying to get out of the way of a cab. The Big Shotv: Sallies in Our Alley: Dick Himber heard Colonel Romulo (he helped rescue Mac Arthur) tell it at a party. "It was the one joke," said Romulo, "that kept us laughing on Bataan until the end. A mamma rabbit and a daddy rabbit were in the woods when they saw a pack of wolves. They hid in a cave. 'How long will we hide here? asked the mamma rabbit . . . 'Until,' was the reply, 'we outnumber 'em! " The Front Pages: The most Im-portant problem for some newspa-pers was reported by United Press from Providence, R. I. The State Senate, it appears, passed a meas-ure that would make it mandatory for Rhode Island newspapers to print names and addresses of all writers of editorials and ditto for those whose letters are published un-der the Letters to the Editor s.

An extra hour s sleep in "the near side" of the evening was recom-mended as a war thrift measure by the National Thrift committee. With small wage earners facing the neces-sity of buying more and more war bonds, the National Thrift commit-tee issues the warning that drastic economies on the home front are inescapable. Health-givin- g sleep will automatically curtail many extrava-gances, in the opinion of the com-mittee. Spring cleaning of budgets is rec-ommended by the committee as an aid to the purchase of more bonds by every family. Recognizing that most budgets are as full of old hab-its at this time of year as closets are cluttered with clothes, the com-mittee suggests a family conference upon items to be discarded for sim-plified living, with consequent sav-ing. d budgets, the com-mittee says, are unpatriotic in war time, and the fact that certain things have always been in them, is no esti mate of their value. A serious fam-ily conclave over expenditures of the first quarter of the year is sure to result m discovery of ways to save money. "The first thing that clutters up a budget say, the committee, "is debt. Loans, installment payments charge accounts and delinquent bills are a heavy tax on any income Obviously, the only way to get clear is to pay off." |
