ITALIAN BEAUTIES
ATTRACT G. 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." "

signed confessions of two young
boys, 15 and 18 years of age,
that they burglarized Fidler
News Agency, 122 North River
fid avenue, Saturday-night of
approximately $60, The youths
will be turned over to' Robert
Elder, county Juvenile officer,
for appropriate action.
One of the boys, police said,
had been steadily employed at
the agency, while the other
worked there part-time. The
latter, according to his confes
sion, obtained a key to the of
fice door and the pair entered
the establishment during the
night. They pried open metal
money box to consummate the
burglary.

field pack, ammunition belt,
bandolier of ammunition, gas
cape, gas detector, blankets and
such other equipment as we
could find room, for; In most
eases this was a couple of car
tons of cigarettes, a carton of
candy from the ship's store, sis
cans of food ration C and six
bars of D ration chocolate. To
this .day when I . happen to see
a burro stagge-.lng wearily along
under its load I have a kindred
feeling."
Telling of the landing In the

men were crowded into barges
which would have held 20 com

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. Babcock said that ha had
been too busy to write of his
experiences earlier.- The young
man has a brother and a sis
ter, both ' in the army. The
brother Is Pfc. Elman Raymond
Babcock, training in Seattle with
a medical unit, and his sister Is
Pvt. Thelma E. Glad, stationed
at Ft. Myers, Va. Mrs. Glad's hus

I OFTEN wonder how many of us
realize the vast quantities of good food
we normally throw away each day. 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!
