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.

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. Porky?"

10 SLUGGING PAIR
James J. 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.

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,
