much for a snapshot of me leaning

prewar days and I’m using the same

photography has gone to war! He
tells me camera parts are hard to

in Normandy and that the artist

per cent more than last year for
the same waves, whitecaps and

Elmer was in a temper. “And

SITUATION IN GERMANY
Uncensored military and political

is defeated and that fat Hermann
Goering, father of the Luftwaffe,
may soon rise as the German "man
on horseback” to try to make peace
with the Allies.
This dramatic turn of events
catches Franklin Roosevelt plotting
Pacific strategy while the biggest
break of the war is coming 5,000
miles away in Europe. Whether
Roosevelt does anything more about
it or not, however, you can write
it down that Hitler and company
are through. It’s just a question of
how much Germany can salvage be-
fore the last shot is fired.

VETERAN STRUGGLE
One of the most important behind-
the-scenes struggles for postwar
power is now being waged between
the American Legion and the Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars.
Actually, the Veterans of For-
eign Wars are in a better position
than the Legion to get a head start
on recruiting veterans of World War
II. The VFW charter from congress
permits recruiting men before they
are discharged, while the Legion
must wait until a man leaves the
service before recruiting him.
Fact is the VFW has picked up 1
more than 400,000 new members
since Pearl Harbor, while the Le-
gion's gains have been "datively
paltry. At the start of the war, the
Legion had more than one million
members, the VFW only a quarter
million. But today the VFW maga-
zine has the largest overseas cir-
culation of any non-governmental
publication, is now read by 300,000
men monthly. As a result, VFW is
picking up members at the rate of
5,00C a week, while Legion officials
fret, plan their own recruiting drive
later.
One reason for VFW success has
been a policy of tacitly bucking the
American Legion on key policy
matters. VFW helped paint the Le-
gion as "anti-labor," then turned
around and attempted to arrange a
deal whereby all CIO and AFL mem-
bers in the service would join the
VFW instead of the Legion when
they left the service. More than two
million union men are in the service.
However, labr • has not fallen for
the bait. Insteaa, trade-union chap-
ters of the American Legion are be-
ing rapidly built up to help com-
bat any anti-union feelings of re-
turning servicemen.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars also
made "hay" with a speech delivered
by national Legion Commander War-
ren Atherton in the South Pacific
area recently. Atherton debunked
the idea that men in the front lines
fighting the Japs want furloughs
home. The VFW immediately took
advantage of this statement, set up
• terrific howl for overseas fur-
loughs, soon found membership ap-
plications pouring in.
Woman Marine Wants to Know
She is a private first class in the
U. S. marine corps women's re-
serve. When she finished her boot
training, Eunice Shepard was or-
dered to duty at the Brooklyn navy
yard. She marched into the orderly
room, signed up at the sergeant’s
desk, then let her gaze ramble
coldly over a half-dozen desk-bound
male marines, scribbling away at
their paper work.
Said Pfc. Shepard: “I joined the
marines to free a man to fight.
Who's leaving?”
Can Yon Remember—
Away back when nobody ever
complained of the high cost of a
glass of beer?
When a Japanese reference to
Zeroes meant planes instead of war
chiefs?
And when you could talk about

be a good thing, with an extra two-

for much of the irritability found at

ELMER ON SUMMER
RESORT CEILINGS
OPA is investigating overcharging
at summer amusement resorts, fol-
lowing complaints of exorbitant
prices for hotdogs, soda pop, salami
sandwiches, etc. This column is not
in sympathy. Pleasure seekers at
amusement resorts eat too much.
Nothing they stuff themselves with
is necessary.
can give all their time to these
things, some only a part. But do
something, or face lifelong shame
and regret.
Then keep cheerful—or at least
courageous. Millions of fighters will
escape from this war unscathed,
millions of men and women will be
better trained, educated, stirred by
it than they would have been in
times of peace. All these partici-
pants in the strife will come home
anxious to find conditions ready for
the new start into a better type of
civilization. It isn’t going to be all
groaning and despair by any means.
There will be great vigor and energy
and ambition in these returning
men; they won’t want babying and
tears and regrets; they will want a
good stout program and the means
to carry it out.
For the most part, the crying,
nervous, fearful women are idle, or
busy with monotonous housework
only a few hours every day. Their
cure is to find a plan, and work to-
ward it—work hard, put every ounce
of strength and vitality they possess
into the realization of the plan.
Plan for what? Well, plan for your
soldier, if you have one. Get a few
hundreds or a thousand dollars safe-
ly into the bank for him, to give
him the needed start when he gets
home. Buy him a little farm.
Or, if you haven’t an individual
boy on the fighting front, plan for
yourselves. Get out of debt, and
have some savings over. Consult the
local housing committee and have
your old place made into flats. Buy
the little farm that you’ve always
wanted and you will take on a host
of new interests.
Times—if you choose to see them
that way, have never been so dark.
But—taking the other view, never
in the history of the world have we
all had so many opportunities to
learn, to improve our way of living,
to serve and help each other.
Lynn Says
Campfire Cozy: Make sure the
drinking water is safe on your
camping trip. Boiled water al-
ways is, sparkling water isn't nec-
essarily.
A hole dug in the earth in the
shade of the tree, lined with small
stones makes a nice outdoor re-
frigerator. Moist caves, shallow
underground streams, small
drops or falls are all good "re-
frigerators.”
Be sure to put your campfire
out. Water is the best thing,
soil next best.
A canoe paddle makes an ex-
cellent bread board or a checker
board! Paint squares as for
checkers and play with cookies
or candies.

"The Fat Lady is getting more
money, and I can see some justice in
that. It must cost her more to keep
fat, but there is one amusement re-
sort feature that should be punished
by OPA at once."
“Who is that?” we asked.
“The lady sword swallower,” said
Mr. Twitchell.
“I paid 10 per cent more to get
into the tent to see her and a flame
eater. About the flame eater I’m not
sure. Maybe flames are harder to
get. But I denounce the alibi of the
sword swallower as wholly without
foundation.”
"What alibi is that?” we asked.

The younger is still in grade

Miss Norris, is to do something
to bring the terrible war to a
speedy end and to help the men
and women who will return from
service to re-enter civilian life.

ADMIRAL KING SLAPS
Insiders now admit that friction
between Secretary of the Navy For-
restal and Chief of Naval Opera-
tions Admiral Ernie King is just as
bad as it was between King and
the late Frank Knox—or worse.
Knox and Admiral King rubbed
each other raw. King used to go
over the head of the secretary of the
navy, even overruled him regarding
the navy’s new gray summer uni-
form, which Knox—and most navy
men—opposed.
When Forrestal became secretary
of the navy, it was hoped that rela-
tions would be harmonious. Last
week, however, Admiral King pub-
licly gave his chief an adroit slap-
down.
Forrestal, Admiral King and fight-
ing Admiral Halsey were holding a
joint press conference. The secre-
tary of the navy was asked if he
had any comment on the fall of the
Tojo cabinet. He replied that navy
personnel, including himself, were
not supposed to comment on politics.
Whereupon Admiral King inter-
rupted and, almost as if the secre-
tary of the navy were a little boy,
corrected him.
"I will comment on that," he an-
nounced, despite Forrestal's state-
ment that political matters were not
for comment by navy personnel.
"Obviously, the cabinet would not
have fallen unless there was dissatis-
faction on the part of military lead-
ers with the conduct of the war. The
Japanese can be expected to con-
tinue to wage war with all the pow-
ers they possess.”
Secretary Forrestal took the ad-
miral's remarks — interpreted by
those present as an indirect slap-
down—without saying a word.
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
“ T SIMPLY cry all the time,”
I writes Elizabeth Taylor
A from Austin, Texas. "I
can’t help it. No matter what I
do to stop it, sometime during
the morning I begin to tremble,
and then the tears come, and I
go on crying at intervals until
I’m in bed at night—and then I
really cry, hard, into my pillow,
so that my husband can’t hear
me.
“And yet things aren’t harder for
me than for thousands of other wom-
en,” her letter goes on. “My big-
gest boy is out in the Marshall Is-
lands with the marines, my daugh-
ter has her first job, at 17, and my
little boy is still in grade school.
Doctor Taylor is a chiropractor who
has a fine business and we have a
lovely home. So it isn't so much
my problem, it’s just the awful prob-
lem of the whole world that has
completely broken down; it’s
magnificence of the boys, and
letters they write home, and
wounded that are coming in to
service hospitals, and the thought of
all the ruin in Europe—”
She goes on for several more
pages, but that’s the gist of it. And
her situation is like that of thou-
sands of other women today, who
are feeling the dreadful pressure of
world events, sharing the sorrows of
the mothers of lost sons, fighting the
continual fears that crowd in upon
us from all directions.
These women act as if by making
a fuss, crying and complaining and
protesting they could alter the fact
that the most fearful event of all
history is now taking place. They
act as if by fretting and arguing they
could change the train of events.
The fact remains: there is a great
war going on, and since we can't
adjust it to suit ourselves, we have
to adjust ourselves to meet it.
Over and over again the letters
• I receive exclaim plaintively: "sure-
ly it isn't natural—surely it isn't
1 normal—surely no rational human
I being expects this sort of thing to
• happen!"
And the answer is "of course it
isn’t normal! Of course it isn’t nat-
ural! Stop trying to rationalize it,
or you’ll go crazy, as some women
are already going crazy over an at-
tempt to reason about the most com-
pletely unreasonable thing that ever
happens to humankind.”
No. Drop all thoughts of that kind,
and in their place put two or three
bracing ideas that will not only help
you through, but will help everyone
in your circle as well.
For one thing, do something that
will hasten the dawn of a peaceful,
strong, intelligent world for tomor-
row. There is no need to recapitu-
late here the thousand ways in which
you can do this; you can work in
defense plants, you can enlist with
the services or the Red Cross, you
can go into any hospital. Or just
by keeping a comfortable, well-man-
aged home for war workers you can
do as great a service as any one of
them. Of course you’re buying
bonds, writing letters to soldiers,
knitting, cooking, collecting all the
materials war needs. Some persons

Bacon is a grand outdoor appetite
tempter. It is also an important
concentrated source of food energy
that you'll need after working hard
outdoors.
If you are frying bacon at the pic-
nic, then this is the best method to
follow: Place the

skillet over a low
fire. Turn fre-
quently until all
parts of bacon
are evenly crisp
but not brittle. Do
not let fat smoke,

cooks.
Bacon Sandwich.
To make delectable sandwiches,
fry the bacon as directed above with
thick slices of fried onion and to-
matoes served on toasted buns.

Our recipes and suggestions today
are designed to fit those who want
to do part of their cooking at home,
and finish when they arrive at the
picnic. It is easy to lay out a swell
spread when everything is well or-
ganized and planned ahead.
You'll like the recipes because
they’re not fancj| They do make
for some downright good eating,
though, and will give you a grand
experience in outdoors eating.
Food is best packed in hampers
or tied in cloth. It's easiest to carry
that way. If you have anything
breakable, use a metal container.
Best Type of Fire.
For those of you who want to cook
outdoors, use the trapper type of
fire. Never start cooking until the
wood has burned and is a bed of
glowing red coals.
To make this type of fire, place 2
medium sized logs (green) 6 to 8
inches apart. Be-
tween these set
up dry twigs and
shavings. Carry
something that
will make the fire
start easily, a bit
of tissue paper
with a few dry twigs. The logs can
be adjusted to fit the cooking utensil.
Our recipe round-up starts with
the favorite hamburgers. If you
snuggle in the extra cheese, you’ll
like the flavor:
All-American Hamburgers.
(Serves 6)
IV2 pounds hamburger
Vs cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
li pound American cheese
4 tablespoons butter
6 buttered buns
Mix meat with milk, salt and pep-
per. Form 12 thin patties of the
meat about 3 inches in diameter.
Cut 6 slices of cheese slightly small-
er than meat patties and place the
cheese in between the meat patties,
sandwich-fashion. Seal edges well.
Melt butter in a skillet and fry the
patties slowly for 10 to 15 minutes.
Serve on toasted buns.
Hot Cheese Frankfurters.
(Serves 10)
20 frankfurters
20 slices of bacon
Ji pound sharp cheese
Split frankfurters lengthwise
fill with long strips of cheese. Wind
a strip of bacon, spirally, around
each frankfurter and fasten at ends
with toothpicks. Toast on forks or
long-handled toasters over fire until
bacon is browned and cheese is
melted. Place in a hot toasted roll
and serve with relish.
