FOR YOUR VITAMINS AND MINERALS
WE SUGGEST
This is a peoples job. It is something you, can do with-
out interfering with other war work or personal duties. It
is not enough to pile up a little stuff and expect somebody to
come and get it. Most of the work is being dene by patriotic
volunteers with inadequate facilities. They need your help
in collecting scrap material in the largest possible amounts
and in getting it to the right place. It is a direct and personal
obligation to all of our boys on all fronts.
You may think, “My little bit won’t help,” but your
"little bit” multiplied thousands and millions of times can
create a mountain of raw material which can actually turn
the tide.
The situation is serious. Your help is needed now.

world today, or enough 2000-pound bombs to drop three per

years.
Locating and collecting this scrap is going to require a
canvass of every house and every farm. One old flatiron will
provide enough steel for two steel helmets or 30 hand gre-
nades. One lawnmower will make six 3-inch sheels. One old
tire will provide enough reclaimed rubber for 20 pairs para-
chute trooper’s boots, or 12 gas masks, and so on and on . . .
All over this country salvage committees are working
to get in the scrap. Under the guidance of a State Salvage
director appointed by the governor, local committees in each
community are collecting scrap. They are collecting__take a

Our hats off to those many customers who have cooperated with us _
and our new employees by shopping early in the week for their staple
items, thereby releasing the major part of the time on Friday and
Saturday to those employed in Defense Industries who must i
shop on the week-end, as that is their only available time. We are
able to give better service early in the week and the prices on
staple grocery items that are advertised are kept in effect for
an entire week so that everyone may share in this saving.

A crisis exists in our war production program which
can be solved only by the patriotic cooperation of the Ameri-
can people. We are faced with a serious shortage of steel
scrap, rubber and other vital materials. The vital part scrap
plays in production is not generally realized by the public.
The steel industry operated on the basis of half-and-half__
about 50 per cent metal from pig iron, and 50 per cent re-
melted scrap metal. Therefore, about 50 per cent of every
tank, every ship, every submarine and every gun is made of
scrap iron and steel. Fortunately, the material exists in
America’s “mine above the ground.” There' is enough iron

VITAMINS ARE essential food factors present in various
amounts in food. Each has its own special function in the main-
tenance of normal body processes. Unlike other food components
such as fats, carbohydrates, proteins and minerals, they are not
used to provide energy or to build tissue. Their function is rather
to enable the body to use other foodstuffs properly.
MINERALS ARE nutritional elements present in foods which
in combination with other food elements promote the formation
and maintenance of various parts of the body structure. Each
individual mineral makes its own special contribution to normal
processes. Minerals not only aid in metabolic processes, like the
vitamins, but they actually form a part of fluids and tissue
structures,

illness exists, but meanwhile an-
other soldier has spent agonizing
hours trying to visualize the con-
ditions at home.
Cases of suicide of service men
have been reported to the Red
Cross, which were directly trace-
able to the thoughless letter of
the “girl friend” at home who
wrote the service man that she no
longer cared for him.
By far the majority of cases
investigated by the Red Cross
Home Service workers are legiti-
mate. In these instances, the Red
Cross mobilizes its forces both in
the soldier’s camp and in his home
town to provide financial assist-
ance, arrange for transportation
and aid to his family during an
emergency.
It is the minority of letter writ-
ers who bring about demoraliza-
tion among the troops. Many of
these writers are unintentionally
worrying the service men, a few
deliberately. Most of them are
merely too prone to seek somfort.

In the final round of the men’s
tennis tournament, conducted by
local players to determine the
city championship, Rex Stultz was
victorious over Guyle Akridge,
winning three straight sets in a
three-out-of-five match. It was the
second time in succession that
Stultz has won the tilte. He was
county high school champion three
years while attending Garland
High and is now number two man
on the ETSTC tennis team as well
as being on the football and track
teams.
The tennis tournament got un-

Sunday afternoon, Aug. 9. Sixteen
local men and boys entered. Only
fifteen participated, Homer Jones

matches, round-by-round, the win-

chronic illness, no worse at the
time the wire was sent, but
prompted by a motherly desire to
see her son.
During the waiting period,
while Red Cross workers check
the facts in the soldier’s home
town, at the request of the boy’s
commanding officer, the army is
confronted with a bewildered,
worried boy who but a moment
before was a determined soldier.
Red Cross workers have en-
countered numerous cases where
a lovesick sweetheart wanting a
visit with her soldier boy friend,
has forged a wire stating that
“Aunt Mary” is ill and not ex-
