Actually, these new dietetic fods can't be told from regular foods in taste or texture. Yet because they are sweetened by a new, sugar-free process, they contain up to 76 per cent fewer calories and make it possible to cut the daily calorie intake right down to where your doctor ap proves. As a special service to read ers, the Mail Tribune will pre sent a series of articles and com plete menus for 14 full days, be ginning Thursday, September 10, by the woman who pioneer ed this remarkable new develop ment in dietetic foods, Mrs. Til lie Lewis, Stockton, Calif. Mrs. Lewis and her associates have been working on the develop ment of these new foods for ten years. Mrs. Lewis, who has been named "The Most Famous Wom an In Foods," is no new hand at pioneering. Years ago she be came convinced that the pear- shaped Italian style tomato could be grown, canned and sold in America. The experts shook their heads, but "TUlie of the Valley" went right ahead and proceeded to change the crop picture in the San Joaquin valley. Today, as president of her own multimillion dollar can ning slant in Stockton, she takes the greatest interest in the de velopment and testing opera tions where the new ideas in food are tried out, Mrs. Lewis points out that the new dietetic foods were devel oped to answer a real problem, "Medical authorities have nam ed overweight as America's No. 1 health problem,' 'she explains. "And dieting authorities know that the bigegst problem about low-calorie diets is that people are human. If you have a sweet tooth, you naturally crave sweet desserts. "The weakness of all diets which remove or reduce 'sweet ness' is that they're bucking Mother Nature and that is a difficult thing to do. Now that we have the new dietetic foods, a diet can contain all the normal regular elements, including the sweet desserts and. tasty dress ings yet can reduce the calorie intake and remove the excess weigh t," without Imposing hard ships or sacrifice such as your old style diets do." t Be sure to look for the most unusual series of diet articles and menus you've ever seen, be gining Thursday, September 10.

'Slick' Denies Giving Eleds Any Information Not Already Known Travis Air Force Base (U.B "Slick" a" handsome ex-prisoner of war accused of "tat tling" on fellow Americans in Red prison camps,' arrived here protesting he told the Com munists nothing they did not al ready know.. The Army corporal returned to the United States yesterday aboard a plane carrying 13 oth er former prisoners, six, of them litter patients. Two Reasons Cited The animosity against "Slick" came about for two reasons, he told an Air Force officer here. One was that he told the Reds about an escape plot hatched by some of the prisoners and the other was that he refused to take part in camp quarrels. - He said the Reds called him in one day and began question ing him about the plans of some of the prisoners, himself includ ed, to escape from a prison camp near the Yalu river. Admits Plan "I admitted the plan because I knew they were aware of it," he said. He added none of the other prisoners involved was angry at him because they knew what he was up against. "The others might have dis liked me. because various cliques in the camp had friction, be tween them," he said. "Slick" said he refused to take part in these disputes. "I felt I should not be fight ing Americans, but should have 21 Former Prisoners Reach Travis Base Travis Air Force Base, Calif. (U.R) Twenty - one former prisoners of war arrived in the United States at 1:18 a.m. (PST) today after a delayed flight from Honolulu. The freed Americans origin ally left Hickam Air Force Base Saturday afternoon. Three and one-half hours later, an engine went out and the plane turned back, landing in Honolulu at midnight HST. They were transferred to an other plane, which took off at 12:37 p.m.t PDT for Travis. Nap on Doorstep Almost Expensive Woonsocket, R. I. (U.R) The most fashionable hotels would not have charged Phillipe Pa ranteau of Woonsocket for a night's lodging what it almost cost him to take a nap on a doorstep. ' Carlis Gascon, SO, of Provi dence pleaded guilty to a larceny charge, although he said he couldn't remember taking the sleeping Paranteau's wallet con taining $100. Gascon was placed on a year's probation and or dered to make restitution. More than 70 per cent of the world supply of iodine comes from Chile.

"I couldn't have been swayed too much by the Commies as I had only four years in school, can't write and can only read a little. I couldn't read enough to understand the literature the Communists gave me." "Slick" refused to talk to newsmen "because there's noth ing to explain and the Army hasn't accused me of anything." However, he later consented to an interview with Ma. Thomas Barbour, Travis public informa tion officer. Camp Show He told Barbour he got the name "Slick" not because of any dealing with the enemy, but because he played the part of a man named Slick in a POW camp show. The Army has filed no charg es against him. He was treated Just like any other returning ex prisoner and sent home. He said he plans to make the Army his career. . i . I !

Canning Method Used To Store Armored Equipment Lima, Ohio There are hun dreds of assorted can openers on the market today but none like the one the Army wields here at this Ordnance depot. Thjs unique can opener actual ly is "a crane whose boom is equipped with tentacles. It is used to lift lids off cans some of which measure 95 feet in diameter.- The enormous containers which look like oil tanks stand 11 feet high. They are part of the Army's long range storage system for tanks and other "canner" armored equipment The canned armor plan paid off when hostilities broke out in Korea. All the Army had to do was apply its can opener and there, in a perfect state of pre servation, was a variety of arm ored might virtually ready for shipment to the combat area.' Only 50 to 60 man hours were required to clean up the vehi cles and remove the surprising ly little preserving compound applied when they were stored years earlier. Secret of the canning process is the hermetically sealed cans equipped with an automatic de humidification system which prevents moisture damage. Average daily moisture con tent is kept at a level of 30 per cent or below. Because of this, deterioration or corrosion is re tarded to a negligible rate and the equipment may be stored in definitely. Deterioration of vehicles stor ed under normal conditions is about ten per cent a' year. With a price tag of $250,000 on a new medium tank, reconditioning is an expensive proposition. Savings effected in recondi tioning costs alone have more than paid for the cost of the stor age containers which were built- from surplus equipment Prior to Korea, approximately 2,000 canned armored vehicles were stored at the Lima depot one of the eight Ordinance depots in the country authorized to can equipment left over from World War IX . The Lima Ordinance Depot new . has 200 such containers spread over 100 acres. Each con tainer is capable of holding as many as eight T41 Walker Bull dog tanks. . Estimated cost of canning ar mor is figured at one-quarter of a cent a month for each million dollars worth of equipment rmm Hitch-l-liking Train Takes Education toOls in Korea Seoul A hitch-hiking train is carrying packaged education to soldiers in Korea. . Equipped with only four cars, it travels hundreds of miles each month to carry textbooks and other materials .to men stationed in remote areas of South Korea. Since it has no locomotive, it is coupled to regularly-scheduled trains to make its rounds of whistle stops. The "College of Usable Knowl edge" is operated by the Army Transportation Corps' Third Mil itary Railway Service. The mo bile college is a travelling school registrar's office combin ed with chapel and recreation cars. Many Sign, up for Courses stopping at railroad stations in South Korea, it gives soldiers in surrounding territory an op portunity to sign up for United States Armed Forces Institute courses. These include academic and vocational extension courses ranging from grammar school to college level which a soldier can study in his spare time. More than 300 courses are available from the institute and some 6,000 are offered by 46 American colleges and universi ties participating in the USAFI education program. They cover a wide variety of subjects rang ing from Auto Mechanics to Shakespeare and many of them give credit toward education certificates, diplomas or degrees. Chaplains Take Turns Chaplains stationed in South Korea take turns travelling with the train. They hold services as needed by visiting soldiers wherever the train Stops. When the chapel is not in use for re ligious services, a white screen is dropped in front of the altar so movies can be shown. The library is stocked with books and magazines which sol diers can take out by giving their own oft-read reading mat ter in exchange. The recreation car is equipped with playing cards, games and phonograph records. Two 500-gallon drums furnish water for hot showers which still are a luxury to many American soldiers stationed in small vil lages of out-of-the-way places in South Korea. Started in August, 952 The tram nas ueen maxing its rounds stopping one or two days at each station ainr Ana. usti.1952. During the first two manias ox operation, it i traveled more than one thousand miles. In that same neriod. it niamut host to 500 soldiers, 196 of whom signed up for 336 USAFI courses and five college exten sion courses. All members . of 'the train's staff are college graduates and all were teachers in civilian life. They, too, are studying USAFI courses in their spare time. They write letters to parents of each soldier who visits the train. The letters tell how soldier-son spends his time aboard attending church services, see ing a movie, listening to nhono.' graph records, writing a letter home, etc. The letter ends: "We enjoyed having him as a guest, and hope that we shall see him again on our next visit." - - It's the most logical thing, in the world to call corsets and brassieres "foundation gar orients," . says fashion manufac ' turers, calling attention to a die tionary definition of "founda tion." 'That upon which any thing is founded," describes per fectly, the fashion experts say, the function of the corset and brassiere as the basis of the outer fashion.
