ing brought up to be utteriess use-

3-Minute Oats call attention to the )
fact that the best starter for a day
of war-time acitvity is oats, con-
taining vitamin Bl and other nour-
ishing and energsling elements
I They suggest the use of honey or
syrup, instead of rationed sugar, on
the breakfast dish of National Oats
For other meals of toe day there
is no limit to the good dishes that
contain the benefit of oats . The
recipe below is an example:
TOMATO BEEE LOAF WITH
OATMEAL
1 1/4 cups National 3-Minute Oats
1 lb. lean ground beef
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 can condensed tomato soup
14 tsp black pepper
2 tsps salt
Bacon strips
1 tblsp. minced onion.
Borne people don’t like the idea
expressed by certain higher-ups in
the federal government that they
close up and quit during the war.
They feel that people should go on
with their businesses as best they
can and be ready to assume a very
necessary part of the business re-
htbilltatlon program after the war
ends. If most, of toe business con-
cerns fold up and quit now, every
community will be in a sad state

NEW YORK—When a girl Is red-headed and frec-
kled-faced and Irish and has Marcy McGuire for a
name, only nice things should happen to her. Quite
a few nice things have happened to Marcy McGuire
in the last couple of months, and I couldn't be sur-
prised if they were only beginning.
Marcy is 17 and U from Des Moines She was dis-
covered by an RKO talent scout, singing In a Chicago
night club, while the scout was killing an hour be-
tween trains She was .taken to Hollywood and tossed
a part tn a little gem called “Seven Days' Leave.”
which has for its star Lucille Ball, the pride of Butte.
Montana, and that was that.
Marcy, however, took over. She has been taking
over since. Her part was-fattened three times, mean-
ing she got more lines to speak and more songs to
ring She looktta like a good investment, although
she is only five Teet tall and has aotne growing to do.
so she and her pretty mother were hurried off to
New York This is what is known as toe build-up
and gets to be pretty routine stuff. But nothing about
Marcy is routine

ROAD WORK PGR FARMERS
County Judge Brown of Cherokee County recently
made a suggestion to the State Highway Depart-
ment that seems destined to kill two birds with one
rinna Faced with a reluctance on the part of the
Highway Department to start work on a farm-to-
Bartoet road bacaum of war conditions and the man-
power shortage, Judge Brown suggested that local
fanners be employed to build the road after their
' mgw are harrorted The Highway Department has
adopted the idea and has recommended it to the
highway departments of other States as a means of
getting roads built and at the same time, decrease
the migratinn of farmers to war production centers.
Hiring fanners to work on roads was an established
practice heck in the old days when counties did all
at their own road work, but with the invention of
_______mawiad. making MtuftDOMnot And hard-surfaced
STtermer, andtbeii team, weren’t needed W
der the new plan, farmers can operate the heavy
road-building equipment of the State Highway De-
partment and build the roads over which' they can
carry their farm products to market.

Nasis One U. 8. destroyer, the Biabeiy, waa twice
torpedoed near Martinique, though it escaped sink-

V. 8. naval patrol plane was credited with sinking
a submarine off Martinique.
Most sensational event in the island's war rec-
ord followed the sinking of a tanker off Martinique
on Feb 20 Next day a Nasi sub rose in the harbor
at Fort de France to send ashore an officer who had
developed a gangerous leg. The sub was in the har-
bor only half an hour, but out of that incident grew
charges that the U-boat had taken on fresh watei
supplies
Of real Importance strategically is French Guiana,
just east of Dutch Guinea, source of much of the
bauxite which comes to the United States for reduc-
tion into aluminum. There are both U. 8. Army and
Navy installations at Surinam, capital of Dutch Oul-
ana, to safeguard this southern terminal of the vital
bauxite supply line.
St. Pierre and Miquelon commanding the St. Law-

the headlines the day before last Christmas when
a Free French force liberated the two httie islands
from Vichy rule, ordering a plebiscite for Christmas
day. The vote was 850 in favor of the Free French to
10 in favor of collaboration with Vichy. There was a
big howl from Vichy, and the U. 8. government had
to admit that the occupation had been made with-
out its knowledge or consent
