PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1942 ALSO IMPORTANT Getting Right Kind of Food For Family Not EnougM to'lnsure Full Utilization. Merely getting the right kind of food for family will not in fure good nutrition unless it is followed up by good prepara tion, points out Marian J. Fer rell, home demonstration agent and chairman of the Jackson county nutrition committee for defense. Many excellent foods sometlvea lose much of their val ue before they reach the table because of Improper storage or cooking methods,, she says. Miss Mildred Arnold, instruct or In foods and nutrition at Ore gon State college, has recently listed some of the things to Watch for In making sure that foods reach the table with all of their value retained. . Storage Important Heat air, and water all take their toll of minerals and vita mins in fresh fruits and vegeta bles If not properly controlled, she says. Storage of clean but unpeeled raw vegetables In a hydrator will keep them at prop er temperature and desirable moisture. The many families who do not have mechanical refrig erators and their accompanying hydrators may accomplish much the same by wrapping vegetables In a moist cloth and storing them In a cool place. Fruit Juices should be used as soon after opening as possible in order to preserve the food value. However, If kept over night they should be tightly cov ered and kept In the refriger ator. Much of the food value In fruits and vegetables Is stored near the skin; for this reason. If possible to cook them with the peeling on a better product will result. Care should be used In peeling vegetables so as not to lose all the rich part that Is un der the skin. Fruits and vegeta bles taste better and are higher In food value If they are fresh when used or canned. This is one place where the home gardener has the advantage over all others. Raw Vegetables Ooed Use of raw vegetables on the table is becoming more and more prevalent, as many of them are both attractive and tasty when eaten raw. Raw spinach Is good In salad. Most children like raw carrot sticks, while shredded beets and turnips and raw flow erettes of cauliflower axe other possibilities. Those vegetables which must be cooked should be peeled and cut Just before using. Or, better still, do not peel at all, or scrape instead. Cut the pieces no small er than necessary to Insure prop er cooking. Soaking of vegeta bles, says Mill Arnold, results in significant losses of minerals nad vitamins. Prepared vegetables should be cooked only until ten der and as quickly as possible in boiling salted water. No more water than necessary should be used and meal preparation should be planned so the food will be ready Just before serving. Creeen vegetables may be kept bright by cooking with the lid off, as soda used for this purpose destroys the vitamins. Commer cially canned vegetables are best cooked quickly, while frozen vegetables are placed unthawed in boiling salted water and served promptly.

Army Camp, Somewhere in England, Dec. 18 U.PJ San ta Claus swapped his sleigh and reindeer for a General Grant tank yesterday to spread Christ mas cheer among ISO children of British service men lighting abroad. Santa, or Father Christmas at he It known in Britain, was Im personated by Capt. Raymond jennison, of. Hopkinsville, Ky., who rode up in hit tank to dis tribute toys, candy, peanuts and chewing gum. Hit gifts were pro vided by officer! and enlisted men of this American armored unit Officers paid for the dolls, rubber balls. Jigsaw puzzles and building blocks they managed to round up from the almost bare toy counters of London stores. The candy and gum rare delica cies in severely rationed Britain were contributed by enlisted men from their normal rations. Even the mothers got presents. They received spun-glass "Hur ricane and Spitfire" bracelets made from chipping! of window screens on RAF planes. 1 Both motheri and children then were treated to tea, sand wiches and fudge and a show by a barnstorming British magician. !LIZE A' war service mobilization meeting and court of honor will be held by Boy Scout troop 6 at St Mark's Parish hall to night at 7:30 o'clock, according to Ernest C Conrad, scout master.

J .mD V-:w v ui M ft It wf A Beattie's 'Freely To Pass' Unfolds Drama of Globe War By Walt Bundle United Press SU ff Correspondent New York (LI.PJ In six years at a foreign correspondent for United Press, Edward W. Beattie. Jr., has covered global war .from Tokyo to Berlin to Ethiopia and London, with as many stops between as there were crises in the exciting years between peace and war. ' His career as an International Journalist it logged in the en tries in hit passport 82 pages of visa stamps, thumb prints col lected at American consulates throughout the world, ana pur ple pencil scrawls entered by a wide asosrtment of European and Asiatic sleeping-car porters. Each stamp, each scribbled note, relates directly to some phase of international events that has made news and history. And from them Ed Beattie has drawn the material for hit book. Freely to Pass." The result Is one of the warmest, most nu- man stories of the war yet writ ten by a foreign correspondent. Now at the age of 33. Beattie hat known or has met most of the great and near great of Eu rope and many of Asia's lead ers during his unusual career. But hit book concerns itself pri marily with the little man the ordinary citizen of the dozen or more countries he has seen hav aged by war. It is a story of de fiant Czechs who stood barehead ed in a blizzard and sang their national anthem into the mouths of the german guns as Hitler's gray-clad troops goose-stepped Into Prague; the story of dazed, hopeless Poles who fought fire bombs and strove to save their homes and families from anni hilation in Warsaw; of French peasants who continued work ing in their fields as German troops smashed toward Paris, too stunned to comprehend the magnitude of their nation t dis aster. All these things Beattie taw at first hand. And all of them made impressions on this sensi tive Journalistic veteran that were as indelible at the purple pencil scratches in passport No. 474503. Shuttles Around the Globe Beattle't passport was issued and hit globe-girdling adven tures began in September, 1937. Before that he had represented the U. P. in Addis Ababa. His assignment originally was in tended to be a brief one to Japan. But events were moving rapidly In the late 1930s and Beattie found himself being swept from country to country by their headline-making im pact. In rapid succession U. P. as signments moved him from To kyo to Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, India, Egypt and to Berlin. I From the German capital Beat tie followed the chain of circum stances which led eventually to war. He went to Codes berg with Hitler and. followed, as closely as any correspondent the fren zied comings and goings of Brit ain's Prime Minister Chamber lain. He was at Munich when the pact was signed which sealed the fate of Czechoslovakia and recognized then the futility of such agreements with Hitler. From Munich on, Beattie's story is the story of every major development of the war. Past port No. 474303 carries stamps entered at Prague at Czecho slovakia knuckled under to Ger man occupation, at Warsaw, where Beattie remained until after the Polish government had fled, in Finland when her small army rattled Russia's troops in the Arctic cold. In France where he covered the to-called "phony war" from behind the supposed ly Impregnable Maglnot line. Beattie saw France fall and reached England just before Dunkirk. He returned to cover the historic evacuation of the B. E. F. Returning to Britain, Beattie again found himself In the cen ter of action the battle of Brit ain. From the cliffs of "Hell's Corner," on the English coast, he watched for days as brave British convoys were battered by the German air force. And he shared with Britain's little men the tense of pride and hope that came as the R. A. F. gradu ally gained superiority and fi nally drove the Germani from the daytime air over Britain. London's 'Tittle People" . In "Freely to Pass," Beattie has set down one of the most colorful and absoibing stories written of the London "blitz." It Is the story of the Dock tide Londoner unboarding their ahop fronts each morning; of clerks, shop-girls and house wives who fought fire bombs throughout the night and' con tinued with their normal tasks without faltering or complain ing. Beattie has earned for himself a journalistic reputation fur tee ing the facets of events and grasping the underlying human drama missed by many another correspondent. And of all he sees he hat a facility for writing superbly well. Although he hat been a news paperman only since his gradu ation from Yale in 1931, Ed Beattle't U. P. by-line Is known throughout the world. His friend Quentin Reynolds recently said of him: - "Ed It a great reporter be cause he knows everybody and everybody likes him. I regret to say that he calls both our ambassadors, Mr. Winant and Mr. Blddle, by their first names. One -day when I introduced Beattie to General Eisenhower, he floored me by saying, How ya, Ike?' and 'Ike' responded by throwing both arms around our young Rover Boy. Once I called to see another of our generals. I was told he was busy. I waited an hour and finally the door opened. Four generals and Ed appeared. "It it very annoying," Reyn olds added laughingly, "to have men like Ed Beattie around Lon don. I trust that hit book will be a terrific hit and that Holly wood will buy it and that Ed will have to leave London to work on the picture. That will make ui all happy. There's too much competition over hero now at it is." ' Use stall Tribune Want Ada, KEEP UP THE HOME FRONT RE -UPHOLSTER Your Present Furniture Preserve tho Hornet for which our men are fighting.

YOUR GROCER started this war or did he? He sank the ships that carried your coffee or did he? . He took the cans away from the canners, the labor away from the farmers, the tires away from the draymen or did he? And he hasn't a worry in the world except except trying to satisfy you with a smaller variety of foods than you're used to except trying to serve you with less help, less goods, less gasoline except trying to keep his business going with higher expenses, less profits, fewer products, and more taxes except wondering why he doesn't shut up his store and take a good job elsewhere that will pay him more money and let him sleep at night; Even so your grocer isn't crying for sympathy. He knows you have your own problems, too. But he is saying, if you will cooperate with him he can make life easier for you. For instance well, let Mrs. Smith give you a few tips.
