More Bulk Food
To Be On Market
During 1943 homemakers can ex-
pect to buy many foods in bulk whieli
they formerly bought in more con-
venient cans. Sauerkraut is one food,
for example, which likely will be sold
only in bulk during the year just
ahead, says Louise Bryant, specialist
in home management for the A. and
M. College Extension Service.
Planning meals by the week and
taking war-time adjustment into con-
sideration will increase the home-
maker's efficiency the specialist be-
lieves. She predicts that before the
end of 1943 housewives may make
their soup at home or buy it at her
neighborhood grocery store and take
it home in a jar or bucket. Manufac-
ture of canned soups has been cur-
tailed because of uneconomical use
of tin cans.
Miss Bryant says eliminating the
frills in packaged foods and other
household articles may be expected,
too. Soap will have fewer wrappings,

and there will not be as many types
and sizes of containers on the groc-
er's shelves.
Looking at adjustments in the clo-
thing field, Miss Bryant says con-
sumers need not expect many, major
changes in 1943, but 1944 may offer
many problems. In the year ahead
homemakers will find fewer cottons
on the market, less rayon and wool
goods, and more "blends" of wool
and synthetic fabrics. Articles such
as galoshes must be 'duration goods',
that is, they must last for the dura-
tion.
"There are some new mixtures,
fibers and articles on the market,"
Miss Bryant says, 'but they are still
in the experimental stages, so don't
believe all the claims made for new
articles and materials on the marke'f
'MAJOR-MINOR', LAUGH HIT
FILM, ON ITS WAY HERE
Handsome Ray Milland and Acad-
emy Award-winner Ginger Rogers
have the title roles in Paramount's
hilarious comedy, "The Major and
the Minor," which comes Saturday
midnight Sunday and Monday to the
Texas theatre, with Rita Johnson,
Robert Benchley, Diana Lynn and
Ginger's own mother, Lela Rogers.
In their first film together the two
stars are said to top anything either
has ever done before, which, if past
performances are any criterion,
should mean a double treat for mov-
iegoers.
Ginger's part is that of a small-
town girl who, sadly disillusioned
with life in New York, tries to buy
a ticket home to Iowa but finds that
she is five dollars short of the in-
creased railroad fare. She goes into
the women's lounge with her suit-
case and comes out looking exactly
like a half-fare twelve year old. On
the train, however, she runs into dif-
ficulty.
The situations which result when
"the minor' agrees to accompany a
Major to his school in order to get
him out of the jam occasioned by her
presence in his compartment, are re-
ported to be the funniest ever screen-
ed.

ABILITY to do an extra job takes an
i\. extra something. Coca-Cola has it.
There are many things for thirst but
Coca-Cola does far more than just
quench thirst. It brings you a unique
taste you enjoy . . . and unique
refreshment yqu feel.
In the making of Coca-Cola,
there's a finished art that comes
from a lifetime of practice. It
takes the skill of 57 years of
"know-how" in blending
certain special flavor-
essences with ail*
the other ingredi-
ents to produce an
original unique taste
its own.
You and your thirst could ask
for nothing more than ice-cold
Coca-Cola.
Wartime limits the supply of
Coca-Cola. Those times when you can*
not (jet it, remember: Coke, being first
choice, sells out first. Ask for it each
time. No matter how short the supply,
the quality of Coca-tola carries on.
The best
is always
the better buy!
In wartimes, less Coca-Cola la available than
before. But there's still enough for many a
refreshing pause. Ice-cold Coca-Cola with food
is always welcomed by family and friend*
alike.

pORPORAL McNew laid his
^ whiskers on the window sill.
It wasn't, he thought, military duty
to play the role of Santa Claus at
the garrison Christmas party. He
couldn't, however, disobey his com-
manding officer. Nor did he want
to after hearing about that vacancy
for a corporal at the recruiting of-
fice in Kansas City. McNew had
been born there, Marianne lived
there now and only yesterday he'd
heard that Marianne had been seen
with a fireman.
The colonel, though, had made his
role more difficult. "Er—" he'd
drummed on the table with his fin-
gers, "—I want you especially to
convince my son. Make him be-
lieve that Santa Claus is really
magic. My son is—er—fascinated
by anything in' the electrical line.
He's been—er—quite disturbing. I've
told him that Santa only gives pres-
ents to good boys. If you can en-
courage his belief, it'd help the regi-
ment and—me."
He'd have to be a perfect Santa
Claus, McNew thought. Sonny was
very skeptical.
"Hello." Peeping in the window
he saw the object of his worries,
Tiny lights gleamed about his
whiskers.
accompanied oy the regimental
mascot—Henry, the goat. McNew
slipped into a closet. Too late, he
remembered his whiskers. The
goat, as the regiment had learned,
had an appetite. McNew's fears
were confirmed when he emerged
from the closet. The whiskers were
gone, and he heard Sonny giggling,
"I bet Santa Claus ain't magic
enough to grow more whiskers. I
bet he ain't magic at all. Dad
doesn't know everything. Say,
Hensy, I wonder if Santa Claus can
see in the dark. I know how to turn
off the switch—"
McNew sighed. Soldiers were sup-
posed to be ingenious. McNew re-
membered some cotton fields nearby.
• • «
The band played a traditional
Christmas carol. Corporal McNew
stood beside a gaily decorated tree
and began to distribute gifts to the
children of the regiment. He called
out Sonny's name. Then the lights
went out.
He took a step backwards as tiny
lights gleamed about his whiskers.
Fireflies must have made their
homes on the abandoned cotton he
had plucked. McNew stepped on a
package, stumbled and grabbed the
tree for support. He caught a
branch. Out of the darkness, he
heard Sonny's voice: "Yes, Santa,
here I am."
"Here—" McNew tried to hand
the boy the package containing the
electric train. A firefly rested on
his whiskers. "Here, Santa Claus
carries his own lights, you know."
"Is it magic?" asked Sonny. "And
you grew more whiskers—"
McNew stumbled again, reached
for support. The branch cracked
and broke. Falling, he caught Son-
ny's hand. "Here!"
The lights went on. Sonny fled
down the steps and McNew saw t^at
the colonel was comforting a weep-
ing boy. A corporal who'd given the
colonel's son a switch for a Christ-
mas gift would never be recom-
mended for a recruiting job in his
home town.
The annual event at last over,
McNew painfully removed the cot-
ton from his chin. His suffering
was in vain.
The colonel wanted to see him.
McNew hurr' d. His chin was sore
and red. but he managed a salute.
"Yes, sir."
"Did you ever act the part of
Santa Claus before?"
"No, sir." McNew suppressed a
sigh.
"Um—maybe that explains the
fireflies and the switch.".There was
a curious note in the colonel's voice.
McNew struggled to explain, but the
colonel interrupted: "I hear you
want that recruiting job in Kansas
City. Under the circumstances, I've
decided to recommend you. Sonny
wants to visit lv- grardmother thTc
and you can take care ot Ir'm on
the journey. His grandmother thinks
that Sorny is a good boy. I expect
you to—er—continue to be resource-
ful "
"7es, sir." But McNew sighed.
He v mdered if snow could be used
to advantage by a resourceful sol-
dier in t' arge of an equally in-
genious boj
Fresh as a mountain breeze and
twice as exhilarating—that's Para-
mount's tune-filled comedy musical,
"Priorities on Parade," the picture
opening Tuesday at the Texas thea-
tre. The top players in this laugh-
laden piece are twinkle-toed Ann
Miller, blonde Betty Rhodes, Johnnie
Johnston (who plays a band leader),
and that wacky pair of Hollywoodi-
ans, Jerry Colonna and Vera Vagu
"Priorities on Parade" is a fun
film with a big idea. It tells how
Johnnie Johnston leads his aggrega-
tion of jivesters into a big airplane
plant with the idea of building up the
morale with swing. He tangles with
a female welder, played by Betty
Rhodes, and the whole affair winds
up with the band building bombers
for Uncle Sam.
The big musical hits of 'Priorities'
include 'I'd Love to Know You Bet-
ter' and 'Here Comes Katrinka,' the
two top tunesi. Jerry Colonna moves
his handlebar moustachios out of the
way long enough to sing 'Cooperate
With Youn Air Raid Warden.'
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
REPORTS WAR RELIEF
The Christian Science War Relief
Committee of The First Church, Sci-
entist, in Boston has assembled since
Pearl Harbor over 66,000 pounds of
durable clothing and bedding, in wat-
erproof, mothproof, wooden cases, at
convenient locations on the Atlantic
and Pacific coasts, ready for instant
use should emergencies arise because
of local enemy action.
More than 32,800 garments hav?
been distributed, through military
distribution centers, to men in the
United States forces. A large Brit-
ish transport vessel which had ar-
rived from tropical waters and was
being repaired at Boston received 100
overcoats for officers. Folding cots
have been given to overcrowded sea-
men's clubs. Civilians arriving in the
United States uffering because of
war conditions or action have been
provided w.th clothing and other
forms of relief. Among them are ref-
ugees from the Far East, who landed
n CiliTornia; and merchant seamen
rescued from ships torpedoed along
the Atlantic coast have been similar-
ly Ccitd for. This work is carried on
by the Committee without regard to
creed or race.
The total value of material in clo-
thing distributed is estimated at $1,-
533,300. In addition to this money,
