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.

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."

SURE, ITS MOM GROCER'S FAULT
...OZ C
it?
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.

COCA-COLA BOTTLING COMPANY OP MI0FOR0
FOR over a quarter of a century, our advertising has been telling
housewives about Del Monte Products and Del Monte Quality.
We felt that this was the biggest service we, as a company, could
give consumers that the opportunity to buy a wide variety of
fruits, vegetables, juices, dried fruits, coSce end other foods, all
mnier Ont depmdablt label, rnesnt greater satisfaction for all
with less guesswork, less waste, less lost time for everybody.
Today, you can't choose as freely as you have in the past, Marty
of these foods are going to the army and navy.
But we feel that Del Monte advertising can be of evea greater
service today to you, to your grocer, to the whole country.
To win the war we must all work together. We must under
stand each other's problems. Vt'e must all cooperate intelligently.
Most grocers are doing their level best to serve you well under
very difficult conditions. They are the same men who, after this
war it over, will again want to give vou the widest possible selection
of Del Moate't many quality foods. Help them tad you help
yourself.
Four easy steps to HELP YOURSELF by helping YOUR GROCER
Plan for a Week
No two meals the saase, ao
one dish too of no! That's
the arcat advantage of plan
ning ahead. To help you do it, we've pre
pared a handy little (older "The Dei Monte
Warume Meal PUrmer." Civet you a simple
form for writing out a whole week's aMou.

Shop Early
Week-end shopping
never was any picnic
And it's worse today.
Your grocer is faced with a real shortage of
labor many of bis clerks are new. When yon
shop early in the week and during the less busy
hours, you have s chance to make a better selec
tion, you get waited on quicker, and yoa aren't
bothered by the crowds.
Buy for a Week
That way, yoa mice one
trip do the work of several.
And when you shop, buy at
asany of the foods you need foe a week as
