LEAVES FOR VIRGINIA Boatswain Bill McLain, who has been stationed at the Section Base for several months, left last week for Virginia. He will be greatly missed, especially at the Southport Baptist church where he assisted with the music and also took an active part in other church work. At the evening service on Sunday, Dec. 12th, he brought a special message of personal testimony to the congregation which was very touching and interesting. Those who failed to bear that message really missed something worth while in a spiritual way. Please Stay Home Civilians are urgentlv reonested jy the Office of Defense Transbortation to give up all pleasure :rips on trains or intercity buses from December 17 through January 10. Joseph B. Eastman, ODT lirector, requested civilians to defer even necessary travel, wherever possible, until after January 10. Because of supply limitations, few extra trains can be operated jver the holidays. Unless civilians stay home, accomodations for furlough and essential ,var business travel cannot be assured. Despite shortages of workers, the public transportation injustices are successfully carrying more passengers and more freight than ever befor. However, the transportation manpower problem is now becoming serious, especialy in maintenance and repairs. i RTANT ANNOUI JR CUSTO ailiar with the old sa} and eat it too."

Prop. SHAL Using Roadbed I To Remove Junk Wrecking Crew Is Using; j Heavy Truck In Place Of Engine To Pull Flats! Loaded With Scrap Iron1 From Junked Railroad Using ;i heavy eight-wheel! truck, mounted on flanged wheels, j for motive power, a wrecking i i company has gotten off to a good . | start at salvaging the rails and1 j other iron and steel matter of ! i the W. B. & S. Railroad: The first j load to Navassa was the 35 or ! 40 ton Plymouth engine. Rather 1 than put it into better running S order, this engine was coupled to the truck and pulled to Navassa Saturday over the roadbed. It is said that the truck will | make ten miles per hour on the | railroad track, pulling a net 20 I ton load. This appears to be a far j cheaper and more speedy method ; than hauling everything in by | truck, especially as there are long i stretches of the roadbed that are j difficult to reach by the ordinary j truck. It is said that it will take three j months to complete the job of ! wrecking. During that period the wrecking crew will be stationed jat Southport, hauling up ' from the broken end of the roadi bed as fast as the rails can be I cut and loaded on an improvised jflat car. The car was made by i removing all of the upper structure of an old passenger car. The wrecking crew is quar tered in four trailers and such other accommodations as they can about 1 town.

Be.older, chief of forest J e control of the Department of inservatlon and Development, id last week. A total of 698 fires mimed over ' ,725 acres of land during the , rnth, Beichlei said, adding that1 if. was a shatp increase over jvember, 1942. when 179 fires maged 5,229 acres at a cost of .914. The WFA suggests: that farms supply their own lumber needs, . i increasing production from i rm woodlands during the winter I id b" providing labor for forest .tustries, M??r imely Helps To Home-Makers ii Make the most of every ciumb id crust. Dress up your stale ead by using it in escalloped sihes, iu puddings, or as French ast. For example, serve French j ast just as you might serve waf!s and top with a syrup or fruit uce. Or, serve French toast for a ain dish with creamed meat or| getables. Remember, too, that i y bread cubes can be used in I ealloped dishes and dressings, j ey will require a little added | oisture. Such cubes also brown cely for croutons. And, crumbed dry bread may be ! ied instead of cracker crumbs. Make more one-crust and fewer .'o-crust pies; or, use lattice pasy strips for the top crust. A pleasing variation of the one ust pie is a cobbler, or a deepsh pie. To make it, partly fill a iking dish with lightly sweetled fruit. Cover with dough and ike in a hot oven until the crust brown. Or as another idea, bake pastry parately in little square or diaonds and serve as a topping on veetened fruits of various kinds, dd the pastries just before servg time, so they will be crisp. If you eat a peeled orange ori vide it into sections, you get [ ore vitamin C than if you juice j Dust hangs downward, so when j >u brush walls, brush upward, rat prevents smearing and reaking.
