While those Irish potatoes are easy to get—and while commercial storage facilities are crowded with war materials—it is your patriotic duty, and your opportunity, to take home a hundred pounds or so of spuds and store them for winter use. The Food Dis tribution Administration says, you can store potatoes in your backyard by putting straw on the ground, potatoes on top, then covering with straw protected by a layer of earth. In a basement or closet, a rack that is airy, not too damp, not too warm (but never freezing), and in a dark place, will prove a money-saver and a guarantee of potatoes on your menu all through the winter. _ Photos—U.

INVESTIGATE OFFICER WHO STRUCK UNSHAVEN SOLDIER Fort Devens, Mass., Dec. 2 (ANP —Quiet satisfaction that the army will attempt to make amends in cases of flagrant mistreatment cf soldiers is permeating the ranks of the 650th Quartermaster troop tran pport group here. Several weeks ago, one of the men ir the outfit was struck over the head with the butt of a rifle, reportedly because the man would not shave. Th» soldier is said to have contended that it was against his religion to shave and refused to do so. The officer who struck the man, alleg edly a Capt- Walton, is rumored under investigation. Gen. B. O. Davis and Civilian Aide Truman K. Gibson visited the post shortly after the incident. Social relationships are some what easier at this camp since a clarification of the sort of conduct expected of officers has been arriv ed at. The little town of Ayr just outside Ft. Devens where most of the colored officers and many of the non-commissioned men live has a USO but it is not specifically for colored troops. Among the junior hostesses who came to dance with the soliders was a ■white girl who had been quite used to dancing with colored soldiers. I A white captain of the men on the dance floor went over to the girl, and ushered her off the floor, it The People of Omaha Would Have Paid Over $23,300,000 More Taxes in the past 26 years if Nebraska Power had been politically owned and managed By the end of 1943, Nebraska Power will have paid more than $23,300,000 in taxes since it began doing business in Omaha. No publicly owned utility in Omaha has ever paid taxes, nor would Nebraska Power have for the past twenty-six years if it had been politically owned and managed under existing law. In spite of paying this vast tax bill, the Company has been able to maintain Omaha’s enviable record of electric rates among the lowest in the nation. In 1917, your residential electric rates were 30% lower than the average for cities of Omaha’s class. And, today, the people of Omaha are paying $8,000,000 a year less than they would pay with rates prevailing in 1917. It’s no wonder Omahans are anxious to keep this Company’s proven low rates . . . good service . . • and good, tax-paying citizenship!

Resentment flared, a white lieut enant intervened, the captain re turned and apologized to the men and a rather nasty scene was a verted. A sensible and forthright colored service club hostess and several of ficers took the capf&in in hand and got him pretty well straighten ed out on social procedures, if is said. — DRAFT OF ILLITERATES BEFORE FATHERS URGED AT MASS MEETING Chicago, Dec. 2 (ANP) Utilizat ion of 500,000 single Negro illiter ates before drafting pre-Pearl Har bor father for noncombat service, was urged at a massmeeting of the National Negro council Monday at the Metropolitan Community chur ch.
