Anthony Santorelli
First Lieutenant
Son of Mr. and Mn. Ralph A. San­
torelli Receives Promotion and Pres­
idential Citation for Achievements
With the 9th Air Force.
Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Santorelli of
Brewster, N. Y., have received a let­
ter from their son, Lieut. Anthony A.
Santorelli, of the 76th Troop Carrier
Squadron of the Ninth Air Force, who
has been overseas for a year, in which
he tells of his promotion to the rank
of first lieutenant as of Nov. 6. On
Thanksgiving Day, Mrs. Santorelli re­
ceived his Air Medal which had been
awarded to him and others in his
group in July. He also has the Oak
Leaf Cluster and a Presidential Cita­
tion.
The letter accompanying the Air
Medal under date of July 6, stated
that the Air Medal had been awarded
aa of June 26 to this group "in rec­
ognition of meritorious achievement
•while participating in aerial flights in
the Europeon theatre of operations
during the period from November 4,
IMS, to July 1, 1944."
"As Troop Carrier crew members,
these individuals meritoriously cli­
maxed a most successful program of
intensive, specialised training and
joint maneuvers with airborne units
in aerial nights by their superb per­
formance in vital sorties flown during
the initial Troop Carrier phases of
the invasion of the European conti­
nent.
"The magnificent spirit and enthus­
iasm displayed by these individuals,,
combined with skill, courage and de­
votion to duty, is reflected in their
brilliant operation of unarmed and
unarmored Troop Carrier aircraft at
minimum altitudes and air speeds, in
unfavorable weather conditions, over
water, and into the face of vigorous
enemy positions, with no possibility
of employing evasive action, to spear­
head the Allied invasion of the conti­
nent and to support air and ground
forces in the critical period ' which
followed. Their respective duty as­
signments were performed in such an
admirable manner as to produce ex­
ceptional results in. the greatest and
most successful airborne operation in
the history of world aviation. By com­
mand of Brigadier General Williams;
James B. Duke, Jr., Colonel OSC,
Chief of Staff."
Christmas Gifts For
Servicemen in Hospitals
By action of the National Executive
Committees of The American Legion
and The American Legion Auxiliary
at Chicago, Sept. 17th, 1944, a plan
was approved whereby a 13 weeks ser­
ies of Eddie Cantor Broadcasts will
urge, donations of Christmas gift box­
es to Legion Posts and Auxiliary Units
on the part of the public, with deliv­
ery of the gifts to be made by The
American Legion and Auxiliary to the
men and women in Army and Navy
Station Hospitals, in Convalescent
Centers and in Veterans' Administra­
tions shortly before or on Christmas
Day, 1944.
Listeners will be urged to purchase
gift boxes for wounded, disabled -or
sick servicemen and women in hospi­
tals, these to be turned over to Legion
Posts and Units for distribution at
Christmas time. Gifts purchased in
communities will be distributed as
close to home as possible, with sur­
plus redirected to next closest hospi­
tal so that none will be without a gift
box.
It is suggested that Posts urge dis­
plays by their local mechants stress­
ing "wanted" items by men and wo­
men in hospitals.
It is planned to provide special
Christmas message cards from the
National Commander and National
President to be affixed to each gift
box, in addition to special Legion and
Auxiliary Christmas stickers. Those
donors of gift boxes who desire to place
a personal card in the box should be
allowed to do so. Many individuals
may desire to be thus personally iden­
tified as a donor of a box whereby the
serviceman or woman recipient can
properly acknowledge the present af­
ter Christmas.
Suggested list of gifts include sta­
tionery and 6tamps, razor blades,
tooth paste, hair tonic, soaps, cigar­
ettes, chewing gum, skating caps,
warm pajamas, light wool buttoned
sweaters, sewing kits and toilet kits.
All persons who wish to send a gift
to the wounded and disabled are re­
quested to leave their packages at the
office of the Legion Service Officer
Daniel B. Brandon, Main Street, Brew­
ster, N. Y., where they will be retain­
ed until final distribution is made
later on.
Mrs. Merrick Buys
Part of Douglas Farm
On Saturday James M. Lindsay, real
estate broker of 522 Fifth Avenue,
who has specialized in farm estate in
this section, announced the sale of
about 200 acres of Spring Farm, the
dairy farm of the late Elizabeth Doug­
las which comprised about 400 acres,
to Mrs. Mildred H. Merrick, Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Merrick formerly oper­
ated Grass Valley Farm which is now
the property of George M. Spindler.
The portion of the Douglas farm
conveyed to the new owner by Mrs.
Archibald Douglas, is well known as a
farmer's farm because of its high pro­
ductivity. Before Miss Douglas pur­
chased the property it was known as
the Andrew Stock farm. There is a
fine residence on the place and a com­
plete set of barns and out-buildings.
o
Negro Club Develops
Ludingtonville Site
Buys Former Lewis Merrit Estate Near
Stump Pond for Private Country
Club.
A thirty-and-a-half-acre tract on
Stump Pond, near Ludingtonville,
Town of Kent, Putnam County, N. Y.,
has been purchased by the Lake Drew
Country Club, Inc., for development
as a country club for Negroes, accord­
ing to a recent announcement in the
New York Herald Tribune. The land,
in a scenic region of one of this state's
most historic counties, was the home
of the late Lewis H. Merritt, for many
years operator of a gristmill there.
The purchase price was $25,000.
Eardlie John, an Assistant Cor­
poration Counsel, president of the
Lake Drew Country Club, Inc., is said
to have confirmed the transaction. He
said that there are nine members of
the corporation, most of them profes­
sional men, and that improvements
have been under way since the pur­
chase was completed some weeks ago.
A 24-room hotel, built last spring
by the former owners who opened it
briefly as a summer resort, is being
renovated with a library, recreation
room and other additions. There is a
bar in the basement. By next May
15, when the club will be opened, there
will be tennis and badminton courts,
thirty boats and swimming and fish­
ing facilities for members, according
to reports. He emphasized that the
club, probably the first Negro country
club in this section, will not be open
to the public. Thirty families prob­
ably will be included in th? member­
ship, he said.
This will be the first Negro country
club in New York, in the opinion of
the purchasers and of real estate of­
ficials.
The land was bought from the Drew
Lake Estates, Inc., which is headed
by S. A. Anthony, contractor. Charles
Finkelstein was his attorney in the
negotiations.
Stump Pond identified as Drew
Lake on same maps, is four miles long
and three miles wide. There are many
homes on its shore line, most of them
year-round residences. The new coun­
try club has several small estates ad­
joining it. \
Mr. John said that, counting prop­
erty under water, the tract is 45 acres.
Improvements will cost between $15,-
000 and $20,000, he estimated. In ad­
dition to the two-story frame hotel
building, there also is the former Mer­
ritt residence, a six-room house which
was remodeled recently, on the prop­
erty.

"Are You At War"?
Then Buy War Bonds
Putnam County Men Are Fighting
That You May Enjoy Life Here. Will
You Back Them With a War Bond?
Telephone Service To
Cover More Territory
Post-War Extension of lines of Com­
munication Are to be Worked Out
By Leading Telephone Companies.
The news that Tokyo has been
bombed in successive nights is heart­
ening. The job in the Pacific is just
getting underway. It is a terrific task.
The Japs are no pushover—don't fool
yourself, mister. Millions upon mil­
lions of fanatical Japs are prepared
to die for their country. Every Ameri­
can soldier, sailor and marine in the
Pacific theatre knows that he has a
tough fight on his hands. You cant
tell them their war is over! Even as
you read these words, American men,
possibly Putnam County boys are dy­
ing in the fight against Japan. Look
into your heart and ask yourself hon­
estly: "Have I stopped fighting? Have
I stopped buying War Bonds because
I think the war is about over?" You­
're not a quitter; your answer is "No!"
It is costing billons of dollars a
month to fight the Japs. The fight in
the Pacific calls for a specialized type
of equipment. B-29 bombers that cost
$600,000 in war bonds; N-4 tanks with
bull dozer plades that cost $67,417;
"alligators" that cost $30,000; millions
of gallons of gasoline. We need more
and costlier equipment than any war
has ever called for. And that's the rea­
son for the 6th War Loan Drive. Just
as long as a single Japanese aims a
gun at our men—we must continue to
buy War Bonds.
We're out to get Japan in the 6th
War Loan Drive. Your country is
still at war—are you?
With the Putnam County drive well
under way, two members of the Put­
nam Lake Blue Star Brigade have al­
ready qualified as 2nd Lieutenants by
selling War Bonds to at least ten dif­
ferent persons. One of these is Mr.
Max Cherne, father of Leo Cherne,
noted radio commentator. Mr.
Cherne's younger son, Jack, is in the
U. S. Army Air Corps. The other
Brigadier to win the coveted decora­
tion is Mr. Daniel O'Connor to whom
decorations are not new. Mr. O'Con-
nor won a citation and medal for
I bravery In 1926 when, as a guard dur-
jing the outbreak at the Tombs Prison,
.he was shot and seriously wounded.
His son, Corporal Dan O'Connor, Jr.,
Is in the U. S. Army. His son-in-law,
JBob McLaren, is serving with the U.
S. Navy.
Yes, we must buy more gasoline,
more tanks, more ships, more planes
by buying more War Bonds. Help to
shorten the road to Tokyo. Let's echo
the cry—"On to Tokyo" with Bonds.
Our boys won't quit until, they have
reached their goal. Let's not stop
buying bonds until we've reached ours.

A joint committee of representatives
of Bell and independent Operating
Telephone Companies throughout the
United states has been formed to ad­
vance the nation-wide postwar pro­
grams which the various telephone
companies have been working on in­
dividually to extend and improve farm
telephone service, it was announced
today.
Co-chairmen of the committee are
John P. Boylan, President of the
United States Independent Telephone
Association, the national organization
of the thousands of independent tele­
phone companies, and Keith S. Mc-
Hugh, Vice President of the Ameri­
can Telephone and Telegraph Com­
pany, representing the Bell Operating
Companies.
"Rural telephone service is more
highly developed in this country, un­
der the American system of private
enterprise, than in any other country
in the world," Mr. Boylan and Mr. Mc-
Hugh said today in a statement issued
by them for the committee. "How­
ever, it Is by no means as highly de­
veloped as we In the industry want to
see it, and the industry intends to do
everything in its power to provide
more service, and better service, at a
cost which the farmer can afford.
"Since operating telephone compan­
ies throughout the whole country have
been working on this problem, a rep­
resentative joint committee has been
formed consisting of a number of their
most experienced officials. We believe
that the application of new facilities
and methods which were under de­
velopment by the industry before the
demands of war interrupted our re­
search and construction program will
help to bring telephone service to
many new farm customers. As soon
as war demands are reduced, we pro­
pose to resume and expand our re­
search effort and, along with it, the
Intensive program for extending farm
service which was being carried on
before the outbreak of hostilities.
"Over one-half million miles of tele­
phone pole lines serving rural areas
have already been built so that more
than two-thirds of all rural families
in the United States can be served
from existing lines. Since 1935 more
than 500,000 additional families in
rural areas have become telephone
subscribers—an Increase of 35 per
cent.' One of the major objectives is
to continue this upward trend by mak­
ing the service over existing lines in­
creasingly valuable and attractive.
This the industry Intends to do to the
limit of its ability.
"A second major objective is to ex­
tend service at reasonable cost to fam­
ilies not now reached by existing lines.
Telephone industry research- in the
last several years has successfully de­
veloped new construction materials
and methods which substantially low­
er the cost of building wire lines to
areas not previously reached. In ad­
dition, work was started by the in­
dustry in 1938 to develop a practical
system of transmitting telephone con­
versations over electric power lines. A
similar system can be used over tele­
phone lines to increase their capacity.
This so-called rural carrier system
transmits a very high frequency cur­
rent over the wires. From 1940 on,
experiments with this system for tele­
phone service over rural power lines
were carried forward in a cooperative
effort of Bell Telephone Labora­
tories and the Rural Electrification
Administration. Before this work was
interrupted by the war, it was clear
that a suitable system of this kind
could be produced.
"One practical effect of these de­
velopments is to make it physically
possible to furnish telephone service
wherever there are rural power lines
and no telephone lines. The telephone
companies plan, in cooperation with
RE.A. cooperatives and with power
companies serving rural territory, to
determine the full extent to which
rural carrier telephone service can be
used economically and effectively.
"The telephone companies also plan
to study the possible application of
microwave radio systems to rural
telephone service and to make use of
this and any other new methods which
will be helpful in serving the farmer."

Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson
has notified Mayor Stanley W. Church
of New Rochelle, that the Army has
no Intention of rescinding arrange­
ments for converting Fort Slocum In­
to a rehabilitation center for the im­
prisonment of soldiers who violate the
Articles of War.
"Fort Slocum," Mr. Stimson wrote,
"was selected as a site for the Second
Service Command's rehabilitation cen­
ter only after thorough consideration.
The facilities there are ideally suited
for the purpose and can be utilised
with economy and efficiency.
"In addition, the natural barrier of
a quarter mile of water separating it
from the mainland will" augment the
security measures which the Second
Service Command will provide.
"Rehabilitation centers do not con­
stitute a threat to near-by communi­
ties. There are at present six in the
country, none of which is as isolated
as Fort Slocum.
"Our experience has proved that
adjacent communities experience no
inconvenience and in fact are scarcely
aware of the presence of a rehabili­
tation center on the post. I therefore
ask you to accept our judgment, which
is based on experience, rather than to
anticipate difficulties which I assuro
you will not materialize."
The communication came in re­
sponse to a telegram sent Nov. 21 by
Mr. Church and the heads of six near­
by communities. This telegram call­
ed the rehabilitation center a "peni­
tentiary" and said it would be a threat
to the security and peace of mind of
all residents In the area. Monday
the Westchester County Board of Su­
pervisors joined in the protest.

remarks as final, Mr. Church left

Red Cross Did Not
Sell Blood Plasma
Red Cross Chairman Basil O'Connor
recently issued the following statement:
"It has been called to our attention
that rumors alleging that Red Cross
blood plasma Is being sold to soldiers
and sailors are being circulated thruout
the United States. These rumors
are vicious lies and apparently are
circulated by persons who wish to deprive
our fighting men of life-saving
plasma.
"The blood which each week more
than 100,000 patriotic Americans give
to the Red Cross Is turned over to the
Army and Navy and processed * by
them into blood plasma, or flown as
refrigerated whole blood to Europe and
the Pacific.
"Pull possession and control of the
blood plasma passes into the hands of
the Army and Navy when the Red
Cross ships it from its centers to processing
laboratories. The Army and
Navy, as Is well known, administer
this blood plasma or whole blood to
wounded soldiers and sailors without
any charge. Persons circulating such
rumors should be reported to the Federal
Bureau of Investigation."
" As of November 1944, the Red Cross
Blood Donor Service has supplied over
ten million pints of blood to the laboratories
that prepare dried plasma and
serum albumin for the Army and
Navy. In addition to this, the whole
blood project which has recently been
inaugurated in several Blood Donor
Centers is sending whole blood by airplane
directly from the donors In this
country to the battlefields.
Mrs. Leslie P. Dodge, Chairman of
the Blood Donor Service for Putnam
County, with Mrs. Harold A. Knapp
of Brewster recently attended a regional
meeting of the Red Cross Blood
Donor Service In New York City at
which many of the practical problems
of obtaining blood to meet the ever
increasing need were discussed. Lt.
Cord Meyer whose article on this subject
appeared in a recent Issue of the
Atlantic Monthly magazine spoke at
this meeting, as well as Mr. Lamont
and Mrs. Vanderbilt Webb of the Red
Cross. Mrs. Dodge has announced that
all persons having type O blood needed
for the whole-blood program newly
inaugurated will be welcome at any
time at the Blood Donor Center In
New York City and will be taken immediately,
without appointment and
without waiting, if they wish to go
there. Mrs. Dodge says that the next
visit of the Mobile Unit to Putnam
County will not be before next summer
or early fall but that those who
wish to donate blood in the meantime
(the same person can donate blood
approximately every four months) can,
if they wish, make appointments at
the New York Center or can go to
RidgefteM, Conn., when the Mobile
Unit calls there In January. Transportation
for those from this county
who wish to go to Rldgefleld can be
provided by the Red Cross Motor
Corps, if persons so desiring will notify
Mrs. Dodge in time tor arrangements
to be made. Many of our Putnam
County people also donate blood
at Peeksklll, Mrs. Dodge stated. At
the last visit of the Mobile Unit to
Putnam County 867 pints of blood
were donated, which more than met
the quota which had been fixed for this
county.
Blood Donor Service has been of
extraordinary value in saving lives.
Much credit Is to be given all those
who have whole heartedly cooperated
in this vital war effort

ORDNANCE FLASHES
Although the Army Ordnance 37mm
antitank gun has been largely replaced
by the more powerful 57-mm
gun, it Is still a versatile and useful
weapon—particularly in jungle .warfare
where the going Is rough. The
87 can be carried in a jeep or by four
men to places where a 57 could not
be emplaced.
In the fighting for Saipan, the 37mm
gun was very effective in piercing
the light armor of Japanese tanks. It
was also effective against personnel,
machine gun nests, and pill boxes. At
the heights of the Salpan engagement,
a 37-mm gun knocked out two machine
gun nests at a range of 300
yards within a few minutes after
opening fire on them.
Vehicle performance reports from
the European Theatre stress the power
and effectiveness of the Army Ordnance
3" Gun Motor Carriage, M10
tank destroyer. In one Instance, a
solitary M10 encountered three German
Panther tanks on a curve of a
narrow hedge-bordered road. In the
engagement which followed, the M10
knocked out the three Panthers unassisted.
Writing of Army Ordnance, Ernie
Pyle said: "This Is not a war of ammunition,
tanks, guns and trucks alone.
It Is as much a war of replenishing
spare parts to keep them In combat as
lt Is a war of major equipment A
thousand tanks or a thousand motor
trucks are as good as no tanks nor
trucks if the butterfly valve, no larger
than a quarter. Is missing from the
carburetor of each of them. The gasket
that leaks, the fan belt that breaks,
the nut that la lost, the distributor
point that falls or the bearing that
burns out will delay OI Joe on the
road to Berlin, if he hasn't got another,
just as much as if he dldnt have a
vehicle In which to start."
Mrs. Helen Mariey Kenny, one of
the sixteen lovely Ordnettes who demonstrate
the latest guns and equipment
at Army Ordnance War Weapons
Show In the Chrysler Building, has

\M ADELINE saw the soldier while
1 1 she was some distance up the
highway and Impulsively she started
to slow down. But aa the car stopped
beside him she was a trifle uneasy.
She had never before picked up a
hitchhiker. She scanned his face as
he tugged at the door handle and a
measure of confidence returned. He
was lean and brown and hard and
reminded her of her brother; he
wore overseas ribbons, too.
The lieutenant brought into the
comfortable coupe the not unpleasant
odor of a mild soap and good
tobacco and also, to Madeline's
astonishment, a casual intimacy
that did nothing to improve her
driving.
Re sat half-facing her, with one
arm thrown over the back of the
seat and his fingers played gently
with the collar of her polo coat.
She turned toward him reprovingly
and saw that his eyes had missed
nothing — from the tight roll of
chestnut hair clear down to her slender
ankles.
"You'll do," he decided, catching
her glance.
Madeline blushed. "Thanks. I was
expecting a whistle," she said tartly.
"You'd rate a whistle if you'd take
off those shell-rimmed cheaters,
fluff out that hair-do into something
modern and slip into a jersey that
should be more becoming than that
gunny sack you're wearing," he shot
back at her.
Madeline clamped her Jaws tightly
to retain control of herself, then
"She wam'ff"
asked: "You're going to Middleton?"
He nodded. "And I would that I
were not."
"Home to a wife and children?"
Madeline chided.
"An obligation, yes, but not that
kind." He stared at the road ahead.
There was silence for a minute before
he explained:
"It's a long story, Beautiful. Maybe
I'd have been better oft* in the
long run if the Jerries had got me.
This fellow saved my life the first
day out. I was a wise guy, see, a
smart aleck, but he shoved me into
a hole when those MEs started coming
over. I made that right a little
later by drilling a sniper who had
his bead set on him. So we got to be
buddies - the best kind. WeU, I
thought his sister must be all right,
too—" He hesitated and Madeline
gave him a look of encouragement.
"She wasn't?"
The lieutenant closed his eyes
and frowned. "You can judge for
yourself. I get a letter from this
girl, thanking me for saving her
brother's life. Then our outfit splits
up and my buddy and I are separated.
I don't find out anything about
her from him but I answer her letter
and away we go. Well, at first
she's amusing. Then she begins to
write about our 'glittering tanks that
charged into battle like avenging
angels of death.' Even that sounded
kind of cute, but after a while everything
gets daffy. I don't get it at
alL"
"No?" Madeline prompted, her
twinkling eyes glued to the road.
"No. She wrote about the night
having a thousand eyes that
watched over me. I was her knighterrant
and she was my ladylove.
Imagine it!"
Madeline smiled. "You've no appreciation
of romance. Besides, she
probably thought it would be good
for your morale."
"Nuts! Jerries on the run is all
my morale needs." They were entering
the town and he leaned toward
her eagerly. "Listen, Beautiful, I
won't even call up this gal with the
fantastic ideas if you'll give me a
break."
Madeline stopped the car at the
curb and faced him with severity.
"But Lieutenant Milton — Lieutenant
James Milton — my brother
never described you as a person who
would run out on anyone."
She waited expectantly, but no
astonishment was evident. Only a
good-natured grin.
"O. K., Mary, we're even now,"
he said softly. "You knew me when
you picked me up. But those initials
M. S. on your car door were a dead
giveaway, too. So forget all I said
about your letters. How about tonight?"
Madeline laughed. "It's all right
but first you'll have to speak to my
eleven-year-old sister. Her name is
Mary — and she's the one who's
been doing all the writing."

Feed Situation Improved
The 1944 season was the eighth consecutive
year of generally favorable
weather for crop production. This has
•been a great boost to our armed forces,
our allies, and our civilian population.
It has enabled us to shorten the war,
because abundant food is both a
weapon of defense and offense.
In view of the record corn crop and
a decline of about 13 per cent in grain
consuming animals from 1944 levels,
feed supplies appear ample for dairy
and poultry producers.
Total feed concentrate supplies for
1944-45 will be somewhat smaller In
volume than in 1943-44, but will be
the third largest on record. However,
the amount of grain available for each
animal unit is increased, mainly because
of the decrease In livestock
numbers since last year.
Selling Milk By Classified Plan
Classification of the price paid for
milk according to its use and the resulting
blended price to farmers is often
misunderstood. Use of the classified-price
plan Is now required by all
dealers in the New York market.
Many dealers In the smaller markets
continue to buy on the old fiat-price
system, but competition from country
plants approved for New York city
usually results in their paying producers
approximately the New York
blended price.
Consumers buying pasturized milk
are inclined to believe that farmers receipts
are based on the price they pay
for fluid milk. Such Is not the case,
because farmers selling to the New
York market must take the blended
price, and even those selling to the
smaller dealers in other sections rarely
get more than the blended price
even though all the dealer's milk may
go for fluid use.
Farmers, as a rule, are satisfied with
the classified plan although they are
Inclined to criticize, with some Justitificatlon.^he
complexity of the present
plan and the pricing of some of
the many different classes of milk.
Under a classified-price plan, dealers
calculate the amount of milk sold
in each of several uses—fluid milk,
cream, butter, cheese, etc. Prices are
specified for each use, based on the
national market for use in manufactured
dairy products, and taking into
account health-inspection requirements
and extra cost of producing a
near-by supply for fluid milk and
cream. The payment for any month's
supply of milk is then obtained by
multiplying the amount of milk in
each use by its respective class price,
and adding these sub-totals to get the
total amount due. Under the orders,
comprehensive audits are made to
check reports on the use made of milk.
One of the chief advantages of the
classified-price plan is that for milk
in each use, all dealers pay the same
price. Competition among dealers becomes
a matter of efficiency of operations,
with identical costs for milk,
rather than competition in buying
milk as cheaply as possible. If the various
classes are priced correctly, dealers
under this plan will be ready to
accept all the milk delivered by all
their patrons. In the flush season,
producers will not be cut off from their
market or forced to hold back part of
their production. Another advantage
of the classified price plan is that the
excess supply above fluid needs will be
disposed of an an orderely way in the
country and will not disrupt the fluid
market in the city.

Must" Ships
Must Have Men
Faced with the need for 8,000 men
a month to sail the ships of the
world's largest merchant marine fleet
and deliver the goods of war, the
United States Maritime Service this
week will be working under a nationwide
priority of the War Manpower
Commission. In announcing the certification
of priority, Commodore Telfair
Knight, Assistant Deputy Administrator
for Training, explained:
. "Expanding operations in the Pacific
have more than tripled the delivery
job of our Merchant Marine. Because
of the distances involved about three
times the number of merchant ships
are needed to deliver the same firepower
to the Pacific as were needed
to deliver the goods to Europe. Each
advance In the Pacific means an additional
'must' delivery assignment for
our merchant fleet."
Those "must" ships must have men.
Men 17 to 50 can volunteer. No experience
is necessary. If experienced,
men go to sea immediately. If inexperienced,
men are given training and
subsequent sea duty as radio operators,
deck and engine seamen, purser-hospital
corpsmen and cooks. Any
man 18 to 26 who has not received his
notice to report for induction may enlist
in the Merchant Marine. To enlist,
candidates may report to their
nearest enrolling office or the regional
office at 45 Broadway, New York City.
Furniture that is bought unfinished
should first be wiped with a cloth
dampened with water. This raises the
grain, which should be sanded thoroughly
before a stain is applied.
"SOLDIER'S WIFE- A HIT!
Martha Scott and Myron McCormick in a scene from Rose Franken's
comedy hit. "Soldier's Wife," at the Golden Theatre. -
By Special Correspondent
NEW YORK CITY.—Rose
Franken has another hit. Her latest
comedy, "Soldier's Wife" at
the Golden Theatre is one of the
brightest lights on the theatre
horizon. Like "Claudia" and "Another
Language" it is destined for
a long run on Broadway. Theatregoers
have a delightful experience
in store for them.
"Soldier's Wife" is the love
story that returned from the war.
It is the successful account of the
wife of a serviceman to regain the
harmony and happiness interrupted
by the world conflict. Beneath
the laughter and merriment there
Is a serious note that will appeal
to everyone who has a husband,
a son or a brother in the service.
For the problem of tins soldier's
wife is the problem that must be
faced by every woman.
Once again Miss Franken and
roducer William Brown Meloney
Eave displayed their ability at
casting. The company is superb.
Martha Scott creates the title role.
Myron McCormick is the soldier
returning home Glenn Anders is
the interviewer who makes the
soldier's wife realize that the independence
she has been compelled
to acquire may be a bar to her
future happiness Fiieda Loaacorf
and Lili Darvas have roles that
permit them to display their talents
to the hilt.
Martha Scott burst on the theatrical
horizon several seasons ago
in the Pulitzer Prize Play, "Oar
Town." Her success led her to
Hollywood to repeat her triumph
on the screen. She followed this
with outstanding performances in
the motion pictures "The Howards
of Virginia." Three Cheers for
Mass Bishop" and "One Foot in
Heaven," all of which were seen
at the Radio City Music Hall, a
distinction no other actress may
claim.
The critical reception of "Soldier's
Wife" was highly enthusiastic
The March of Time called
the comedy. "A smash hit, a distinguished
play." Danton Walker
in the News labelled the play, "A
hit. even better than 'Claudia'."
Kobi-rt Garland of the Journal-
American and Robert Coleman of
the Daily Mirror agreed that
" 'Soldier's Wife' is this season's
•Voice of the Turtle'"
Prudent theatregoers will do
well to make their reservations in

going to be the Mecca for entertainment
seekers. Miss Franken's

GLAMORIZE YOUR
VEGETABLES
Shelvei overloaded with homecanned
vegetables offer excellent op-
Sartunities for serving many versale
dishes. Try different combinations
to make them a real asset to
the meal.
The range, whether burners or
oven are used, is most Important in
the preparation of the vegetables.
Those who live beyond the city gas
mains and have their range serviced
with propane or butane—the
"bottled" or "tank" gases—will find
the cooking of vegetables simplified.
Easily regulated low flames are excellent
when you don't want to overcook
the vegetable!. The moist heat
of gas ranges will brown and cook
vegetables evenly.
Mix a can of your corn, with eggs
and milk, and bake in a buttered
casserole, topped with buttered
crumbs. Try your peas heated with
bite of crumbled bacon or pearl onions.
Green beans can be scalloped.
that Is, layered with white sauce and
topped with buttered crumbs or
cheese.
Home-canned beets take on glamour
when orange juice and rind or
orange sauce is added. Carrots are
delicious when baked with a tablespoon
or two of honey and sprinkled
with chopped parsley.

Spanish Rice b Point Saver
Meatless dishes full of rich, meaty
flavor are popular these days when
we are all short on points. Spanish
rice is one of these dishes, hearty
enough to satisfy and full of flavor
because of. its combination of rice,
tomatoes and cheese.
Rural and suburban homemakers
who use butane or propane ranges
will find that Spanish rice bakes
evenly so that each grain of rice is
fluffy and tender, and the flavor of
tomatoes and cheese is thoroughly
developed. The heat which they
have in a "bottled" or "tank" gas
oven will brown this dish quickly
and evenly without drying it out.

The best way to observe the defeat
of Hitler is to buy an extra
War Bond. In thousands upon thousands
of American homes today
there is pride and
sadness. From
these homes have
come fighting men
who died to bring
us this far on the
road to decisive
victory over all
our enemies. It will
take more sweat,
more tears, more
toil, more and
greater individual
war Bond buying

lood and tears depends on every
E
individual American war worker
and Bond buyer.
The Sixth War Loan symbol—a
bomb hurling down on the Rising
Sun—can only come to reality with
your individual help. Buy at least
an extra $100 War Bond above your
normal payroll savings. That's the
least you can do to back up your
fighting men.

hams, bacon, canned fish, butter, margarin, canned milk and cheeses).
Valid stamps, all remaining good indefinitely, are A8 through Z8
and A5 through P5. O. P. A. says next new stamps will become valid
Dec. 3. All stamps good for ten points each. (No rationing on any
beef cuts of utility, canner-cutter or cull grade, any cuts of bulls or
stags, or any mutton cuts).
BLUB STAMPS
(Covering only canned or bottled fruits, some juices, tomatoes,
catsup and chili sauce. All other previously rationed items are off the
list). Stamps now valid are A8 through Z8 and A5 through W5.
All stamps are good for 10 points each.' Most recent stamps are S5,
T5, U5, V5 and W5, which became valid Nov. 1 Next new sumps
are due Dec. 1.
WASTE FATS
Used kitchen fats, animal or vegetable, will bring two red points
a pound, plus 4 cents cash, from your neighborhood butcher. Fat
is used for a thousand war purposes.
SUGAR
Sumps 30 through 33 in Book 4, good for five pounds each
indefinitely. Stamp 40 valid through Feb. 28, 1945 for five pounds
for home canning. Stamp 34 became valid Nov. 16 for five pounds.
SHOES
Airplane sumps 1 and 2 in Book 3 are good indefinitely for one
pair of shoes each. New stamp is Airplane Sump 3, good on Nov. 1.
Families may pool coupons of a household. Loose sumps not valid
except for mail orders.
PASSENGER-CAR TIRES
Subject to need and quota restrictions. Motorists with "B" and
"C" gasoline ration books are eligible for Gude I tires. Holders of
"A" gasoline books are eligible for Grade III tires. In all cases applications
must be made to local boards for a certificate. A certificate is
still required for purchase of any passenger tire.
GASOLINE
The new A book became valid Nov. 9, with coupon 13 good
for four gallons through Dec. 21. The old' A book is no longer valid.
(Motorists who failed to get new A books during issuance period
may apply to local rationing board after Dec. 1). New serially numbered
B5 and C5 mileage nation coupons are being issued, valued at
five gallons each. B4 and C4 mileage ration coupons remain valid,
good for five gallons each. All earlier coupons are invalid. Serially
numbered T coupons which bear the designation ' 4th QTR," are
valid from Oct. 1 through Dec. 31; all other T coupons are invalid.
All gasoline rations for Putnam County are now being issued
through the New York Mailing Center which in no way effects the
operation of the Board at Memorial Building, but does require a
greater length of time for panel action and for the issuance of coupons
to the applicant. Therefore, the Board requests that the following
simple rules be followed so that the system will operate efficiently and
without any undue hardship:
1. Please be sure to file your application at least 15 days in advance
of your needs.
2. Attach the Tire Inspection Record to all applications. The
record must contain your name and address, written legibly and also
your 1944 license number.
3. All applications must be properly completed and conuin all
the necessary information thus eliminating the return of the applications
and delaying their approval.
FUEL OIL
Validity of Period 4 and 5 coupons, as well as all change coupons,
left over from this year's ration has been extended another
year. The coupons, which were scheduled to expire Sept. 30, will be
good until Aug. 31, 1945. Period 1 coupon, for the 1944-'45 heating
year also valid until Aug. 31, 1945.
COAL AND COKE
While solid fuels are not under coupon rationing, the Solid Fuels
Administrator for War has limited the amount of anthracite and
Eastern coke that each consumer may purchase. Each buyer of anthracite
or Eastern coke must file a consumer declaration before or accompanying
his first order of the season. Only seven-eights of the
normal annual hard-coal and coke requirements may be delivered during
the coal year ending March 31, 1945, and only 75 per cent of
the full requirements before Jan. 1, 1945. (Previously the regulation
was that only 50 per cent could be delivered before Oct. 1). Declaration
must be made to the regular dealer, who will supply the form
and is obliged to accept the order. If you have no dealer and cannot
find one, apply to any dealer for a consumer application blank so you
may be assigned to a dealer. S. F. A. regional readquarters are in Empire
State Building.

HANGING MIRROR
Question: How can-1 make a neat
Job of putting nails or hooks in a
plastered wall, so that I can hang a
couple of mirrors?
Answer: Nails should not be driven
into plastered walls. To hang
your mirrors, holes should be drilled
into the plaster, wall plugs or an*
chors inserted and screws used. A
hardware store can supply you with
these articles. If the mirrors are not
too large and heavy you can use a
sharply pointed nail, especially
made for this purpose, which has a
hook attached. These can be had
in large or small sizes from a hardware
dealer. If the mirrors are
very heavy, it might be better to
hang them from the picture molding
(if there is one), using picture
wire or cord, (The wire may be
hard to get.)
Here is the way one of our readers
runs a screw into a plaster wall:
"Mark' the position and drill a hole
about the size of the screw. Wood
putty is then packed into the hole,
and after hardening overnight the
screw is run into it. This method
has held a great deal of weight
around my house without any failures.
When you move the screws
can be taken out, leaving the wall
in a neat condition."

Storing Furniture
Question: I want to store my
kitchen, living and bedroom furniture.
Would it be all right to store
it in an unhealed upstairs room?
Do you think the coldness would
ruin tiie finish or warp the furniture?
And what effect would the
cold have on the mirror of a vanity?
Answer: Low temperatures will
not harm the furniture, but you
should take every precaution against
dampness. Before storing the furniture
clean and polish it, and then
cover with a heavy kraft paper to
keep dust off the surfaces. The refrigerator
should be cleaned and put

Insulated Hot-Air Ducts
Question: The warm-air ducts
from our furnace are covered with
the usual sheet asbestos. Dust clings
to this surface and is very hard to
remove. Can this covering be painted,
to give a hard surface that can
be cleaned easily?
Answer: Asbestos insulating materials
are very porous and, because
of this, are difficult to paint.
The following method will be fairly
successful: After brushing off the
dust, apply a thin coat of shellac
(if you can get it), thinned halfand-half
with* denatured alcohol.

fifty members, was heard last
year in the splendid performance of
"Elijah" by Mendelssohn, to Carmel,
as well as other communities, and this
year they are fully organised and are
giving four performances of the
Handel work. There will be prominent
soloists, some from New York,
and an accompaniment of organ and
piano.

J mmmm*
The 1944-45 basketball season was
officially opened Monday night at
Brewster High School with the first
games on a sixteen date schedule.
Ooaoh Ken Clark»s 1944-46 edition
of the B. H. 8. Varsity, which boasts
only one regular and two reserves
from last year's team, surprised its
loyal rooters by actually outscorlng
Coach Santore's veterans from Central
High during the first half. However,
In the second half the experience
and finesse of the boys from Purdys
proved to be too much for the green
Bears and Central had no trouble winning
89-28.
B. H. S. scored first and were no
worse than even at any time during
the first quarter and were In front at
the end of the period 8-5. In the second
quarter Central quickly overcame
this lead and went 8 points ahead until
the Bears rallied to score 7 points
while holding Central scoreless, to lead
at the half 17-18.
Central, sparked by Bucchlno and
Lundv, opened the third quarter with
a rush, running up 12 points before the
Bears could score. The remainder of
the quarter was even. In the final
period George Tuttie's 6 points for
B. H. S. were one short of Central's 7;
5 by Smith and 2 by Lundy.
All of the Bears 11 points in the
second half were scored by George
Tuttle. These with his 5 in the first
half gave him a tie, at 16, with Iiundy,
Central's high scorer.
J.V* Win 28-17
In the preliminary, the B. H. 8.
J.Va, led by Pat Carlo and Harry
Thorn got the Jump on Central's J.V.8
running up a lead of 10-2 for the first
quarter and increasing it to 17-6 at
the half. Inn the second half Coach
Clark substituted freely, using two
complete new teams, the 4th and 6th
near the end of the game.
Interested spectators were Norm
Donley and Earl Tuttle of last year's
team. Norm is in the Merchant Marine
and Earl has Just completed basic
training in the TJ. 8. Army.
The Bears new green Jackets and
the cheer leaders new green and white
uniforms added color and charm to
the occasion.
On Friday, Dec. 1st, B. H. 8. travels
to Shrub Oak. On Monday, Dec. 4th,
Haldane will come to Brewster.

Predicts Increased Investment
By American Farmers During
Sixth War Bond Campaign
WASHINGTON, D. C—A prediction f
that American farmers will invest
more money in bonds during the Sixth
War Loan than in any previous drive
was made today, by the War Finance
Division of the U. 5. Treasury.
Farmers bought $1,250,000,000 worth
of War Bonds during 1943. according
to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
In 1044 it is believed they
can and should purchase a total of
$2,000,000,000, Ted R. Gamble, national
Director of the War Finance
Division, said.
Income at Peak
The Sixth War Loan, starting November
20, comes at an ideal time
for agriculture, he pointed out.
This is not only the time when
larm income is at a seasonal peak,
but 1944 marks three years of record
Breaking farm income, he said.
Based on information obtained from
the BEA, the Agricultural Section of
the War Finance Division estimates
the 1944 cash farm income at $20,600.-
000.000. compared with $20,000,000,000
in 1942.
Although net farm income, due to
higher operating costs, may not be
greater than in 1943. most farmers
now have reduced their debts and
consequently will have more money
to put into War Bonds, the division
reports.
In the twelve months ending January
1, 1944, farmers reduced real
estate mortgages alone by $650,000,-
Bank Deposits Gain
After paying all operating coats
and necessary family expenses,
farmers will have left this year for
investment and debt reduction over
$5,000,000,000. the Agricultural Section
also estimates.
Because of the fact that new machinery
is not obtainable, farm deposits
axe piling up in rural banks.
Demand deposits neld by farmers
in these banks are estimated at
$4,500,000,000 and time deposits at
$2,000,000,000. Since the new method
of redeeming Series E Savings Bonds
makes them as liquid as a dollar bill,
it is no longer necessary for the farmer
to maintain a large bank account
to meet possible emergencies, Mr.
Gamble stated. Therefore, he believes,
farmers will convert part of
these deposits into War Bonds.
Pasteurization of Eggs.
Improves Keeping Quality
A new method for preserving eggs
has been announced by specialists
at the Missouri Agricultural Experiment
station. They have developed
the pasteurization of shell eggs, not
only to destroy bacteria but to retain
their desirable physical properties
much longer than if the eggs
were untreated. The method has
been checked and endorsed by the
United States army.
The eggs are passed through hot
oil or water, less than ten minutes
being required for the operation. The
process eliminates losses from chick
development by converting fertile
eggs capable of chick development
into an infertile state, so that they
can be kept in storage as well as
the infertile eggs.
The pasteurizing destroys the bacteria
though they may have penetrated
the shell and shell membranes
of the eggs. The process
cuts down the rate at which the
solid white is converted into thin or
water egg white. The process also
tends to improve the keeping quality
of infertile .eggs and has no harmful
effect on the taste or cooking
quality of eggs. The process can be
utilized by poultrymen as well as
commercial handlers of eggs. One
of its commercial uses will be to
reduce the bacteria content of frozen
and dried eggs if they are processed
from pasteurized or thermostabilized
eggs. The bacteria count
of such processed eggs was reduced
95 per cent. Some method must be
worked out by the individual to control
time and temperature during
the process of pasteurizing.
For best results, maintain the oil
and water at 140 degrees for 10 to 14
minutes.
Tiny Flea Beetles
Cause Garden Damage
Numbers of small, jumping beetles
known as flea beetles appearing
in many gardens threaten damage to
tender young plants unless they are
controlled by sprays or dusts. Most
common of the many kinds of flea
beetles are the black ones, about the
size of a pinhead. As they are
small, gardeners seldom notice them
until they have done much damage.

War Bond purchasers will provide
a farm financial reserve to protect
against damage by drought, flood
and livestock disease, will assure
cash to replace and repair buildings
and machinery as well as to build
back soil fertility depleted by wartime
food production, and will provide
funds for education, vacations
and old age security.
The high farm income this year
is the result of the huge increase
in farm production to meet wartime
food needs rather than a rise in
rices, which have been held down

Restaurant Sanitation
Eighty-one cities of more than 10,-
000 population and 169 cities of less
than 10,000 have adopted a restaurant
sanitation ordinance. It is also
in effect in 137 counties and has
been adopted as state board of health
regulations in 18 states. The law
can be enforced without local adoption
in Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware,
Florida, Indiana, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, North
Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Virginia and West Virginia. There
are 144 cities in these states which
j have not adopted the restaurant
j code, but in which it may be en-
I forced. Proper restaurant sanitai
tion has been given credit for much

dealing with war workers.
