No nation and no man can remain ankle-deeThey either plunge or get cold feet. This means that the sacrifice of civilians must match the bravery of our fighting forces. A nation lives by the higher values of its soul. Not by the lower prices on its store counters. In 1942, sugar is a luxury and gasoline a comfort. But liberty and freedom are still American necessities. A cull on your American trousers isn't worth a Japanese cuiT on your American jaw. Our problem at home is not our standard of living. Too many brave Americans have already set us a heroic stands-by dying. The Marines w'ho land on Pacific beaches are in this war deeper than their ankles. And the skies above the channel cannot be protected by price ceilings. The men of Balaan divided their food, not profits. And to relieve the there was no night-shif- t defenders of Wake. It will cost most of our wealth to win this war. But all our riches to lose it. We must give most of our privileges or lose all of our rights. Captain Colin Kelly made his choice. He went Into this war not up to his ankles, but up to his heart. Because he knew what it meant to buy peace on his knees.

S. naval base at Dutch Harbor with so little opposition. As with most things in this war, the problem goes back to lack of foresight, and also, to some extent, lack of army-nav- Keeping Her Family Well In Wartime Is Her Special Task. by Western Newspaper Union. best sol- One of Uncle Sams One hand iron contains enough metal for two helmets.

Grant's way home from West Point and later surrendered to Grant In Tennessee. General Buckner wanted to go on from Kodiak to Dutch Harbor with Senator Brewster, and although the navy was willing to supply an amphibian plane to the senator, they balked at having General Buckner go along, referred to him as a "hitch-hike- r. Finally, however, the party, including General Buckner, went on to Dutch Harbor and located an excellent site for a flying field on Umnak island. Immediately upon .their return, Senator Brewster arranged for a senate appropriation to build an air base at Umnak, while the war department prepared to proceed. Navy Saya No. The war department also notified the navy of its move, since the army is charged with protecting the shore establishments of the navy. A few weeks later, however, word came back from the navy that it did not want the army to build an air base on Umnak island to protect Dutch Harbor. When senators asked Vice Admiral Frederick J. Horne why, he replied: The navy can protect Dutch Harbor. This was In late September. not doing anything to help win the war.

And we cant all work in defense factories. But we can do an important job right in our own homes. The war will finally be won only with the help of the American housewife, and the better job she does, the sooner she will be able to rejoice in the victory ahe helped to win. When government reports recentd ly showed that only about of the families in the United States have diets that are adequate to maintain health, it became apparent that one of the important factors in winning the war would be proper nutrition (the right food as well as the right amount of it), for, although one-thir- Two months later, after Pearl Harbor, the navy frantically demanded an air base to protect Dutch Harbor, but it had to be started during the snow and ice of an Alaskan winter.

HOW TO KEEP IT beThen proper refrigeration comes more important than ever. But putting foods in the right place in the refrigerator is just as important as keeping them there at aU. They must be kept cold, but not too cold. And they must have the proper amount of humidity, neither too much nor too little. Frozen foods need extreme cold with no humidity. Vegetables and greens need mild cold with lots of humidity. Milk, butter, staples and prepared dishes other than frozen ones need only mild cold. Meat requires a slightly lower temperature than vegetables, and more humidity. In general, 40 degrees is considered safe temperature for most foods. At that temperature the growth of bacteria Is usually retarded. Cold air travels downward, so the coldest places in your refrigerator will be the freezing chamber and the spot directly under it. Pnt frozen foods in the freezing chamber, meat and fish directly under it. Milk and cream and other beverages to be chilled should be placed on the shelf next to the freezing chamber. s will Staples, butter and keep satisfactorily in the middle section, as they require moderate cold but no special care. Vegetables, too, and most fruits can be kept there, but they require more humidity. Some refrigerators have special compartments for them, but if yours does not, one of the vegetable bags or a covered dish will do. Canned foods that will not be used right away, salad dressing and pickles need not, and bananas must not, be put On refrigerator. the other hand, bread, coffee, shelled nuts and chocolate keep better there. left-over- in-th- e (HOME FRONT .RUTH you are really helping to clothe our soldiers and send fighter planes to bomb the en- emy. The grease you save is processed to secure glycerine, which is then used in the manufacture of TNT for shells. Waste paper can be used for shell containers; 25 pounds makes eight shell containers. By JANET CUPLER Released Sail on Tt:a r SAVE SCRAP W'hen you save scrap, kitchen grease, tin cans or paper, will help you get the most from the food you buy: Dont keep vegetables long at room temperature. Wash them and put them in the refrigerator. Pare potatoes as thinly as possible. Scrub carrots with a brush instead of scraping them. Dont shell peas until you are ready to cook them. Dont soak vegetables in water for any length of time. Cut carrots and other long vegetables lengthwise. Cook frozen vegetables without thawing first. Some vitamin content is lost in thawing. Dont handle vegetables any more than necessary. Dont squeeze oranges until you are ready to use the juice. Dont chop salad vegetables and greens until you are ready to use them. . Then add the dressing immediately after chopping them. The dressing acts as a protective covering and helps to prevent the destruction of valuable vitamins by exposure to the air. Dont handle vegetables any more than necessary. Dont use soda in cooking green vegetables. That lovely, vivid green color it gives them is a danger signal. HOW TO COOK IT Last year, impressed with the importance of proper cooking. Home Economics Institute of Westing-hous- e Electric and Manufacturing company sponsored a program of research conducted by scientists to determine the exact amount of vitamins lost in improper cooking. Four typical vegetables were chosen potatoes, carrots, fresh peas and broccoli and the results of the tests demonstrated conclusively that water, heat and air, used improperly, can destroy as much as 33.7 per cent of the precious vitamins. Water, heat and air are essential to cooking, and some vitamin content will be lost in all cooking, but the following procedure helps to reduce this loss to a minimum; USE LITTLE OR NO WATER. Steaming is preferable to boiling, so use just enough water to produce steam. Wash leafy vegetables thoroughly just before cooking. The amount of moisture that clings to the leaves will be sufficient to produce steam. START FAST, LY.
