Newspaper Page Text(ft MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1942. PAGE SEVEN I 11 T L LEES" Fisher Body of General Motors Making All-Welded Tanks by Trainload. Detroit. July 24 m Gen eral Motors Corporation dis closed today with war depart ment approval that the new , army tank plant built by its Fisher Body division has been completed and is rolling out the all-welded M-4 type of land dreadnaught in train-load quan tities. Lines of freight cars loaded with tanks wrapped in protect ive covering now leave the plant on special track almost daily, the announcement said. Fast Action When the United States en tered the war, the welded M-4 tank was only in a blueprint stage. Ia January Fisher Body received a contract to build the new type of battle wagon, and although the first tank was not scheduled to be built until the new plant was completed, engi neers went to work immediate l Iy in another factory. The first of the M-4's was turned out in 47 days. By the time the new plant was finished large num bers of the new tanks had been started on their way to the battle front. The M-4's are designated "General Lees" by the British, the war department in Washing ton said, and some have already seen action on the Egyptian bat tlefront. The tanks are 28 to 30 ton machines, about the same size as the "General Grants." - Among the principal develop ments in the M-4 tank over its predecessors is increased . fire power and improved location of he 75MM gun in a turret that revolves in a complete circle. In addition it is highly maneuv erable and is protected by a tough hide f heavy armor plate. Oregon Legionnaires Consider Plea for Draft of All Men Portland.

A Great Little Guy She was saying, he was the youngest looking sailor she ever saw really too young to be in uniform. Only a boy, couldn't b over 14. She didn't know his name, but I knew well who she was talking about. We call ed him Parky. He was actually 19, but looked 14. Round chub by red face, always smiling the cutest little fellow you ever saw. Toted my golf bags during Sunday's golf. Always bright, keen and alert. Never had to tell him to hurry or where did my ball go? Porky was al ways two Jumps ahead and knew In what direction to start looking. So Porky was In the Navy l and back in town because the lady at our bridge table said she saw him that very afternoon -the youngest looking sailor she ever saw, just a little boy in big uniform. It seemed good to see him again, sitting there in the restaurant booth but I could tell there was some thing wrong. His little white hat was setting cocky enough on his head all right, but he looked thinner than when I last saw him and I could see something was bothering him. "How do you like the Navy, Porky?", I asked while munch ing a sandwich- "Oh fine, I guess, Mr. Green. Like my work at the base swell. Had to come home, lost my dad. Going back tomorrow. u.j hope I get good news when 1 get back." What good news are you looking for.

McAfee and William Owens, army sergeants stationed at Camp White, were yesterday granted six months suspended sentences on charges of assault and battery, and turned over to military authorities. They were originally charged with assault with intent to rob, in a com plaint signed by Hugh McGinty of Jacksonville. Following a conference with the district at torney, sheriff, and Lieut. G. W. Ball, the charges was reduced to a misdemeanor. They were for mally parolled to Lieut. Ball, who indicated disciplinary ac tion would follow. The incident grew out of a chance meeting in a beer parlor a week ago between the two soldiers and McGinty. The lat ter alleges he was hit on the head and robbed of $10.

THE SHOES ARE LARGE BUT WETL TRY OUR BEST TO FILL THEM You've probably seen many new faces among Safeway people. For each day more and mora Safeway men are joining the armed forces. We tell you this with pride and with the hope that you'll understand It our service isn't quite as good as you've come to expect. The shoes of experienced Safeway men are hard to fill but our new men and women are trying their best. These Prices Effective Safeway Stores 6th & Bartlett, Main & Oakdale, and Ashland Haste in shopping makes waste in food and in time too It has always been our family duty to waste as little food as possible today it is our patriotic duty. And certainly the most effective way to do this is to plan menus and shopping lists together a week at a time. For this gives you the opportunity to fit one day's leftovers into the next day's menu to vary meals to keep meals well-rounded nutritionally to stick to the budget and to plan defi nite times for shopping, thus cutting down on shoDping trips. But streamlined shopping schedules take careful plan ning. And at all times the perishability of different meats and vegetables must be kept in mind. For meats, you might select shoulder lamb chops, enough ham loaf for two nights, and Swiss steak. If stored in the refrigerator, most meats will keep about a week; cured meats like ham and bacon will keep longer but ground meats, poul try, and fresh fish should be cooked the same day or day after. For vegetables, you might choose corn, string beans, carrots, tomatoes, cucum bers, green onions, lettuce, and celery. That's not counting the potatoes and onions you'd have on hand already. As soon as you get home, wash the vege tables quickly, dry, and store them in a covered container in the refrigerator. Use green and leafy vegetables that day or the next. Carrots and corn will keep longer. Now let's say, for example, that you are buying these meats and vegetables on Monday to last until Friday. Here are the dinner menus the Safeway Home makers' Bureau suggests you might have planned before buying: MONDAY DINNER Baked Ham Loaf Garnished with Canned Spiced Peaches Scalloped Potatoes Tossed Vegetable Salad of Torn Lettuce, Finely Sliced Green Onions, Celery, and Quartered Tomatoes with French Dressing Gingerbread with Whipped Cream TUESDAY DINNER Braised Shoulder Lamb Chops Corn on the Cob Melted Butter Buttered String Beans Lettuce and Tomato Salad with Mayonnaise Berry Shortcake with Pouring Cream WEDNESDAY DINNER Cold Sliced Ham Loaf String Bean and Corn Succotash Pickles Potato Chips Shredded Carrot and Raisin Salad Ice Cream and Cookies THURSDAY DINNER Braised Swiss Steak with Brown Gravy Quartered Potatoes and Carrots, and Tiny Whole Onions Cooked with the Meat Stuffed Pear Salad Butterscotch Cream Pie Planning neighborhood parties Read the article in this week's Family Circle Magazine about cooperative neigh borhood parties In which everyone shares in food, expenses and fun.
