“SERVICE WITH A SMILE"
Peaches, Pears, Plums a Perfect Trio
fpH3 delightful midsummer fruits
A are so tempting and they may
be used singly or in pleasing com-
binations. It would be hard to say
Just what makes these fruits so
good — maybe it’s that abundant
Summer sunshine that gives them
such a rich, luscious flavor.
Then too, once you try the short-
boil method of jelly-making you
will wonder why you ever spent
long, hours in the kitchen—for no
precious fruit juices are boiled
away and no long hours are wasted
waiting for jellies to jell. And you
will like the way light corn syrup
stretches your sugar.
RIPE PEACH AND PLUM JAM
3% cups prepared fruit
2% cups sugar
2*4 cups light corn syrup
1 box powdered fruit pectin
To prepare fruit, peel about 1%
pounds fully ripe peaches; pit and
- grind or crush thoroughly. Pit (do
not peel) about 1 pound fully ripe
plums. Cut in small pieces, and
crush thoroughly. Combine fruits.
) Measure sugar and syrup into
dish and set aside until needed.
Measure prepared fruit into a 5- to
6-quart kettle, filling up last cup or
fraction of cup with water if neces-
sary.
Place over hottest fire. Add pow-
dered fruit pectin, mix well, and
continue stirring until mixture
comes to a hard boil. At once pour
in sugar and syrup, stirring con-
stantly. (To reduce foaming, M tea-
spoon butter may be added.) Con-
tinue stirring, bring to a full rolling
boil and boil hard 1 minute.
Remove fnom fire, skim, pour
quickly. Paraffin hot jam at once.
Makes about 10 glasses (6 fluid
ounces each).
RIPE PEAR JAM
4 cups prepared fruit
5Vfe cups sugar
2 cups light corn syrup
1 bottle fruit pectin
To prepare fruit, peel about 3
pounds fully ripe fruit. Grind or
chop very fine. If desired, 3 tea-
spoons spice may be added.
Measure sugar, syrup and pre-
pared fruit, tightly packed into
large kettle and mix well.
Bring to a full rolling boil over
hottest fire. Stir constantly before
and while boiling. Boil hard 1 min-
ute.
Remove from fire and stir in bot-
tled fruit pectin. Then stir and skim
by turns for just 5 minutes to cool
slightly to prevent floating fruit.
Pour quickly. Paraffin hot jam at
once. Makes about 12 glasses (6
fluid ounces each).

LIFE
Life is a gift to be used every
day,
Not to be smothered and hidden
away.
It isn’t a thing to be stored in a
chest
Where you gather your keep-
sakes and treasure your
best.
And promptly put back in a dark
place again;
Don’t keep it in niches, and
corners and grooves,
You’ll find that in service its
beauty improves.
sons who have no appointment, j has just recently returned from
but who wish advice on their
particular problems concerning
family allowances may also call
at the above address.
Through thousands of inter-
views the ODB officers have
found that many persons become
confused in regard to their fami-
ly allowances. Seldom is there
intent to defraud the Govern-
ment. It is primarily a matter
of undersanding the law. It has
been discovered that many fami-
lies actually are not getting as
much family allowances as they
are entitled to. Others are re-
ceiving the benefit under the
mistaken impression they are en-
titled to it when they are hot.
It narrows down to a question
of relationship and dependency.
A serviceman’s wife and minor
children are entitled to family
allowances, whether they are de-
pendent upon the serviceman for
support or not. Parents, brothers,
sisters and other relatives may
receive the benefit only if they
are actually dependent upon the
soldier.

Brown. “We had thrown excess
weight, including ammunition,
overboard in an attempt to keep
flying.”
Lieutenant Brown then re-
counted how the crew “hit the
silk” at 5,000 feet, falling to ap-
proximately 500 feet before open-
ing their parachutes to avoid
being targets for the fighters.
Landed Near Peasants
Lieutenant Brown landed in a
field amid some old peasant
women. “They just waved to
the fighter that shot us down
and I ran like hell,” he said.
Making his way to a forest,
Brown kept going until his
sprained ankle forced him to
abandon the shelter for smoother
ground. It was while walking
along a road that a bicyclist rode
up behind him and called out to
a soldier.
“It was raining all the time
and I didn’t hear him until he
yelled,” Brown §aid.
Brown was then taken to a
police station and was knocked
down twice by a police major
even before they began to ques-
tion him.
“The bombers must have done
something to that officer,” was
the lieutenant’s explanation for
the way he was treated.
Lt. Brown was later taken to
Barth, Germany, for internment
in Stalag Luft 1, a prison for
British and American air officers.
It was there that he “made one
serious attempt to escape and
planned a couple of other
schemes.”
A group of the officers had
managed to dig a 60-foot tunnel
which almost reached the con-
fining fence. However, the rainy
season softened the ground and
the tunnel caved in, causing an
investigation.
“We were lucky because no
one was in the tunnel when it
caved in and they couldn't fix
the blame,” said Brown.
Lt. Brown said that two other
plans to “go over the fence” at
“two blind spots” were canceled
when an officer was killed at one
of the sections and the other sec-
tioned was discovered.
. But Brown’s confinement was
over when his captors fled the
on-rushing Russians on the even-
ing of May 1. For two weeks
the prison was run bv the prison-
ers while awaiting American of-
ficers to pick them up. It was
during this wait that Brown
drew his first prison duty—that
of an MP.
“I met several Fort Worth
boys in the camp but I can’t re-
call who they were,” said Brown,
attributing the strain of planning
escapes for his forgetting the
names.
Before enterlo^the Air Forces
Brown worked for the American
News Company in Fort Worth.
He holds the Air Medal, the
Purple Heart, the ETO Ribbon
with two battle stars and a pre-
sidential unit citation.
After giving the private a dres-
sing-down for being so late in
returning the supplies, the ser-
geant demanded: “Okay! Let’s
hear how it happened, Miller! ’
“Well, I picked up a chaplain
along the road,” explained the
woebegone rooky, “and from
then on the mules couldn’t un-
derstand a word I said.”

Sgt James Henke Sees
Pictures From Home
In Italy
Sgt. James L. Henke, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Alex Henke, writes
on July 24 from Foggia, Italy,
that he had just been in a picture
show where he saw scenes from
home. Here is part of the let-
ter:
The reason I’m writing is be-
cause we had a picture show
last night and they had some G.
L shorts. One of them was about
Texas. It showed different scenes
towns and one was the Nimitz
Hotel. Also had some scenes
of people working in shipyards,
old fields, rice fields, people
working with cattle and many
other scenes. One of the scenes
was about loading up sheep and
it had Adolf Stieler counting
sheep. They showed a typical
Texas ranch family and guess
who they showed — the Eddie
Henke family. Showed them
eating breakfast and then dif-
ferent shots of them working.
Showed Eddie and his boy riding
in the pasture and also of his
boy carrying a buck he killed
during the hunting season. They
also said that he had one son
over here in Italy and two
daughters married, giving their
names. It really was a nice
picture show.
Gosh, it is really hot over
here, wish it would rain. The
rumors are we would be out by
the first of the year. We are
supposed to move farther north,
I only wish we would move into
Germany or Austria.

From where I sit ...tJoe Marsh
Herb's Got a
Great Little Wife
Everybody’s talking about
what a grand job Herb Helm is
doing at the war plant. Not just
one shift, but two a day-to help
build the war materials our men
need.
Good for Herb! But I’d like to
gay a word for Mary, Herb’s
wife. She runs the house, cooks
the meals, takes care of the chil-
dren, and works on salvage
drives and bundles for the Red
Cross. Believe me, that’s tiring
work for any woman!
Yet when Herb comes home—
too tired to talk or watch where
he drops his ashes, maybe-she
makes allowances, keeps smil-
ing, brings him a restful glass
of beer, and makes enough con-
versation for them both. Next
morning, Herb goes to work re-
freshed and cheerful.
From where I sit, women like
Mary Helm are doing a great
war job themselves... being tol-
erant and kind to husbands who
are working under a heavy war-
time strain. Bully for them!
