now U IS possioie xo enjoy sucn
usually forbidden sweet treats
as luscious puddings and gelatin
desserts, syrupy canned fruits,
flavorful jellies and tangy salad
dressings all without worrying
about excess calories,
Now, these do not sound like
"dietetic foods" in the usual
sense, nor do they taste like
those known in the past so oft
en flat, insipid and lacking fla
vor. 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

(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.

Woonsocket, R. I. (U.R) The

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

charge, although he said he
couldn't remember taking the

taining $100. Gascon was placed
on a year's probation and or

Denies Reports
He denied reports he had be
come a "progressive."
"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 .

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

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.

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.
