I.'S IN LIBERATED NAPLES Doughboys Rate City Far Above Flea-Ridden Sands of North Africa and Sicily By Reynolds Packard (United Press Correspondent) Naples, Oct . U.R The flashing smiles of the Neapoli tan girls and the friendliness of the Italians are making Naples a favorite way point for Amer ican Doughboys. - - Every soldier rates this city well above the flea-ridden sands ef North Africa and Sicily. "History- may ' have been made here before, but: we're making some now, too,'' was the general opinion of the Amer icans, who said the only fly in the ointment was the hunger of the Neapolitan people. .. . Frankly, the soldiers admit ted, one of their reasons for lik ing the city is the beauty of the Neapolitan girls and the way they cast their eyes about in a "come hither" fashion. Sand Fleas Irk "This is heaven compared with the sand fleas we put up with In North Africa," Pvt. Michael Kaminsy, of Wert Nan ticoke. Pa., said. "The fact is that Sicily wasn't much different as far as most -of us were concerned, but here in Naples, it seems we are in a Sretty big place that's rea) civi zed. And there's plenty of good-looking babes, too." Sgt. Loren Roark, Fort Worth, Tex., said "this is really picturesque place. All our boys like It." "The Italians have been nice to us. They have gone through lot, being bombed and rsn sacked by the Germans. starv- tag and drinking water' with wriggle tails in it."

His barge crashed Into another. sprang a leak and the men had to be transferred. The corporal remarked that by the time he transferred and finally landed on the shore, his equipment wns so disarranged that instead of carrying it on his back he had most of It m his arms. Later the corporal told of be ing sent out with a detail and spending the- night trying to sleep on a rockpile. Unable to sleep because of the cold wind, lie and his buddy built a little rock wall to shelter themselves, only to have the wind, change. The two soldiers then built an other wall, the: wind changed again and eventually, with the wind changing with "the regu larity of the clock," the two men had spent the entire night oil ing rocks. The detail ran out of food and the corporal wrote that one soldier, letting temptation set the best ef him, shot and killed a young steer from a nearby herd "which later we had to pay for." He said they cooked the meat by holding It over the fire on the ends of their bayonets. Cpl.

Yes, it's literally so: most of us waste enough in a month to feed our families for days! Wartime conditions make , It more necessary than ever, of course, that each of us cut food waste to an absolute -minimum. We all know that, in a prac tical sense, it's impossible to avpld having some leftovers. But they can be used, tastefully! Meats, macaroni prod- -ucts, gelatin and desserts stand up well as leftovers, and many times they can be dressed up in casseroles, soups, and similar dishss, with fresh vegetables added to give new nutritional strength. Tomatoes, green peppers, lemon juice or parsley work wonders with leftover flavors and add good vitamins. And onions add perkiness! " On the whole subject of wasted food, ' . here's a check list that has a practical value: Here's Quit for YOU on Kitchen Economy , . , Do you cook meats carefully; to avoid annrucage and to avoid burning the YeU NoU fat? ' Do you strain the fat from your meat cooking, and use it wheneveryou can ' fa place of shortening? .YosQ NoQ Do you regularly take used fats to your meat man, so they can be turned into ammunition? -, . YesQ NoQ Do you use vegetable "cooking water" In soups and sauces? ' YasQ NoQ Do yon take leftover meats and vege tables and turn them into savory stews, salads, etc.? . YesQ NoQ Do you plan the exact amounts of food you'll need, and buy them accurately? YesQ NoQ Do you put fresh vegetables away so they'll stay fresh and nutritious? YesQ - Nod Do you use att of each slice of bread (leftover toast and crusts are fine for crumbs)? YesQ NoQ When fresh fruits and vegetables must be peeled, do you pare them carefully to save vitamins? YesQ NoQ Do you avoid serving each member of your family more than he can comfort ably eat? YesQ NoQ Do you make sure, each day, that your garbage pail is not sabotaging your food plan? . Yet NoQ If your answer Is "Yes!" to each of these questions, you're all right! If not, my suggestion would be: start today to look for food waste in your kitchen! Yes, it's our patriotic duty and it'g plain common sense to keep everybody in th family in top-notch health these day. And the best way to do that is to follow Unci Sam's recommendation: "Eat the Basic 7 Every Day". Safeway offers you a wide se lection of these nutritious foods!
