September 14. 1945 Mrs. America Meets the Peace PORTLAND INQUIRER Construction to Begin on St. Philips in October TWSJ5 CHICKEN SOON TO BE PLENTIFUL Hard-to-get chicken will soon be much easier to find in the meat markets and poultry stores. This is the time of the year when farmers cull their flocks and sell broilers, fryers and stewing hens which they don’t wish to keep in their laying flocks. Needs of the armed forces are also re duced, so fewer chickens will be set aside for that purpose. These two factors—the seasonal increase in poultry marketing, and more of the available sup ply for civilians— wil make meal planning a little easier for Mrs. America. • • * TEA BACK TO NORMAL Many a busy housewife finds relaxation in the middle of the afternoon with a cup of hot tea— or iced tea in the warm summer months. The tea-drinkers will be interested to know that tea supplies are almost normal now. Distribution controls are no long er needed and restrictions have been lifted on the size package sold and amount which could be distributed for civilian use. This applies only to black tea, how ever, as green tea imports have not been resumed yet, and there is no civilian supply. ♦ * * ICE CREAM. WHIPPING CREAM BACK Ice cream lovers will welcome the news that the War Food Ad ministration has removed restric tions on the amount of butterfat which manufacturers can use in making frozen desserts. Richer ice cream will be available sonn and whipping cream can again be sold to civilians. During the war, controls were set up limiting the amount of butterfat that could be used for frozen desserts and heavy cream, so that available supplies would be diverted to production of dairy products needed for military purposes, CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST Cor. 99lh and S.

Use the nearest of 4,000 United States Employment Ser vice Offices to locate a job or a worker for a job. By using these clearing houses you will avoid such as fluid milk, cheddar cheese, evaporated milk, etc. * * * CANNED FOODS With the removal of rationing on processed foods, canned veg etables will figure more promin ently in Mrs. America’s meal planning. There will be very good stocks of beans, corn, peas, and tomato juice, and more lima beans and carrots than we had last year. There’l be more toma toes, but still the supply won’t be as much as is normally con sumed. Asparagus, sauerkraut and spinach will be in smaller supply than last year. * * * OVERSHOES AGAIN Another step has been taken on the road to elimination of all rationing.

Details of Ship Sinking in 1943 Now Revealed AN AMERICAN BASE IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC—(Delayed)— Iw a drizzling rain at dusk the U.S.S. McCalla, a destroyer, edged up to the docks heaviy laden with ex hausted men. They were surviv ors of the torpedoed U.S.A.T. Cape San Juan, hit in the vicinity of the Fiji Islands in mid-Nov ember, 1943. Their faces showed the stress ° f the nightmarish hours just passed. Officers and enlisted per- sonnel alike were garbed in blankets and nondescript pieces of clothing. They were mostly members of the 855th Aviation Engineer Battalion, a Negro unit now stationed in Manila. All were weary, but the sight of land alter tossing about in the sea for inter minable hours, was a welcome one for them. U. S. Medical units were ready at the docks. Stretcher cases and those needing care were taken at once from the destroyer and whisked to one of two general hospitals. Under the watchful eyes of Colonel George Finney, Commanding Officer of the 18th General Hospital, and ieutenant Colonel Murray M. Copeland, St. Philip's Episcopal church is building a new $20,000 church. Religious services will be held in the parish house during the time the church is under construction. There will be change in the hours of worship. The old church is being razed and construction will start on the new building on or about Oct ober 1. Every effort will be made to finish the new church by Easter 1946. The architect’s pictures of the interior and exterior of the new building are on display at the Exclusive to Ted Yates Publications parish house.

Both Negro and white troops, but more of the former, were among the survivors and, al though haggard and worn, many smiled broadly as they stepped onto the dock. Representatives of the Army Special Service Office and the American Red Cross were on hand with cigarettes as they left the McCalla. In the quiet of the hospitals, the more serious cases were handled at once, while those less affected discovered the luxury of a hot bath, a glass of cold ice water, a hot meal, clean hospital clothing and a comfortable bed. After rest, the men had plenty \ to talk about as they exchanged i experiences and located friends | lost in the confusi9n. Those unharmed were trans ported to a military camp. After food an drest they were taken to the Quartermaster warehouse and issued complete sets of clothing. Three hundred and four members of the 855th were later presented with the Purple Heart. It had been a wild and nerve- racking experience — but they were again ready to settle scores with the little men from Nippon.
