I ' B. V. 8. Pat. Off. prepared for Your Newspaper by Betty Crocker Home Service Department j HOW SHALL WE "SHARE THE MEAT"? 1 "Share the meat so all may eat" is the slogan of the "share the meat" program. It means that we Americans are being asked to vol untarily limit ourselves to 2Vz pounds of the restricted meats per week per person. This is because so much meat is going to our armed forces and to "lend-lease" that there will be a little less meat left for us civilians than we normally eat. So we want to make this lesser amount go around and not have some people eating much more than their share while others can get none. But notice that we have said "restricted" meats. These 2M pounds per week per person do not in clude poultry, liver, tongue, kidneys, sweetbreads, hearts, brains, tripe, souse, pork feet, scrapple and such meats. These are called the "un restricted" meats. They need not be figured into your 2Vs pounds a week. However, this may not mean that these unrestricted meats will be plentiful. There may be times you will not find any of them. But it's a good idea to use them when you can get them because in ad dition to giving you a little more meat for the week, many of them are excellent sources of important minerals and vitamins. But the roasts, the chops and steaks you've been familiar with those are the meats you are being called upon to "share." ALLOWANCE FOR CHILDREN AND INVALIDS The Government, in estimating this 2 pounds of meat per per son, has taken into consideration the small children and invalids who never under any circumstances would be eating that much meat. They've estimated pound per week for children under 6 years of age and Hi pounds per week for children from 6 to 12 years of age. Half of the 2Vs pounds per week has been estimated as sufficient for invalids. WHEN YOU EAT OUT OR WHEN YOU DRESS YOUR OWN MEAT You are asked to play fair when you figure your meat allow ance. Farmers who dres3 their own meat, those who maintain food lockers and individuals who eat all their meals at restaurants are asked to share fairly. If you have dinner with a friend, figure that meat into your weekly allowance, SHARE YOUR ALLOWANCE WITH YOUR PETS If you feed restricted meat to your pets, it must be included in your weekly allowance. WHY NO MEATLESS DAYS? Some may remember the "meatless" days of World War No. 1 and wonder why we have not resorted to that expedient this time. The truth is, meatless days didn't reduce the consumption of meat. It seems that people felt so virtuous over going without meat one day that on the next day they allowed themselves a reward by eating twice as much. So, instead of cutting out the meat entirely for a day or two a week, we are urged to make use of the unrestricted meats where we can and make the restricted meats go further by using "extenders" that is other foods combined with the meat to help it go further. Meat loaves, meat pies, stews and various casseroles come under this heading. WHY WE NEED MEAT That's the story in brief of the why's and wherefore's of the share the meat campaign. It means enough for all if all will play fair. And it needn't be such a hardship when you consider the unrestricted meats that can be added to the 2Vz pounds per week per person. Our Government is recognizing the importance of meat in our diets. It's not only a muscle building protein food that most people enjoy eating but it's an important source of the B Vitamin group. In addition to these B vitamins (thiamine, niacin and riboflavin), liver also is an excel lent source of Vitamin A. Meat is likewise rich in such highly im portant minerals as iron, phosphorus and copper. So, let's observe this voluntary meat rationing so that every American may enjoy these benefits of meat.

WeynVh. was the subjt'Ct for an article appearing in the December issue of the magazine, Modern Phar macy. Paul Vandorvort II. former Plattsmouth man who now lives on the west coast and spends mmh time writing up the doings of celebrities, is the author of the article. Appropriately titled "Number I hobby man", the article is accompan ied by several pictures, the main one showing Mr. Weyrieh surrounded by many unusual rocks, the collection of which is a part of his latest hob by. Attention was called to the hobby for which Mr. Weyrieh has become famous to local citizens that of ex pert photography. "Anchored", pic-j tnro of nn old ship which brought j Honorable mention to Weyrieh m a national contest, was reproduced as one of the illustrations. Another of the druggist's famed photographs. , "Old Trir'ty Church", graced the magazine parrc. This latter photo shows a steeple view of the famous f iuirf.h in Xew York where "Washing ton attended and where famous per- Fonages are laid to rest. among j whom was Paul Revere. Still another picture carried with the article and one which will prob pblv be remembered for its unusual- an,j difficulty in obtaining is "The Old Flirt". The "Flirt" in this instance is a winking owl, perched on a limb. Photographer Weyrieh ex plind it was made vhon he shelter ed an orphan owl. "I secured a limb," said the photographer, "and snap ped the picture when the wise one winked his eye nncl clutched the branch for support." He added that the flash bulb gavp the picture a dark background. "This m-vlo the picture arvpear to have been taken in the woods at night." he said. As the magazire article infers. Mr. Weyrieh does not stop with one hob by. It explains that he is a man of many and varied interests. Mention ,-, .,, nf nipriir,n;rai achieve- i ments, his woodworking and metal craft activities, his interest and study in astrologv. and his gatherin anc classifying of rock formations. Observers are sure to marvel, as i did this reporter this morning, at the! coHection of rocks of all shapes and colors colors which catch the eye, and fascinate one colors which re-1 I fuse to be adequately described by ! words. j j Weyrieh said that he had appro-"- j imately 1H0 different kinds of rock". j Preparing these rocks for final exh:-j bition in his collection includes Raw-, ing across the rock for a flat surface. This part of the preparation is done with a diamond saw, the only kind of saw hard enough to do the job. Once a surface has been obtained, Weyrieh explains that it is smoothed and polished until the color scheme and markings of the rock are very clear. These surfaces are beautiful as they are, but when the druggist turns ultra-violet rays on their sur faces an amazing transposition takes place. Hidden colors, which the sharpest eye cannot see under ordi nary conditions, flash and gleam from the rocks. "My pleasure comes from cutting the rocks and preparing them for the collection," explained Weyrieh. He said the diamond saw was his latest acquisition and that from its use he derived much pleasure in his spare time. The Plattsmouth hobbyist is a member of the Nebraska mineralogy and Gem Club.

Gas Might Bring ' Sudden End To I Present Warfare None of the Belligerents Have Used This Means of Warfare Eut All are Ready . ' ,. By Kuel s. Moore, u. r. ataii uor respondent- Edgewood Arsenal. Maryland, Jan. 2 (CP) Resort to the use of gas warfare by all belligerents might bring a sudden end to the war. Gen eral William N. Porter. Chief of the Chemical Warfare Service, told news paper men visiting Kdgwood Arsen al. "We Ht ill think something may happen that will end the war in aj J quic k way." Porter said. j Germany has not yet employed ' j gas-, in Poi ter's opinion, hoeane it has never been to Germany's ad van-J tas.ro to do so. P.ut if and when she ! does he is confident of Ameri'n's lability to counter it. "The United States never signed the international agreement ning the use of gas," Porter ban - said. 'Japan never signed it. Hitler is not bound by it against non signatories, j vice einpiojee m a - although Germany signed it. Thusjof 44 1")Ur v'osk W(;f'k- the United States, Japan and Ger many could engage in gas warfare without violating any international agreement." Japan, he recalled, has used gas against the Chinese the only belligerent to have done so in the current struggle. Officials said the gas was America's own develop mentLewisite. The Japanese de sisted after President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Winston Churchill warned that continued use would result in retaliation, he said. "If we get a good hard smack from an enemy employing gas we ! may change our minds about using it and gain tremendous advantages." Blue Devils Winners Plattsmouth high school started the Xew Year right with a win from the Glen wood Rams on their court last evening, Plattsmouth annexing Dy the score of 27-26. The tall Iowans had a slight edge on the dope over the Blue Devils, but the blue pantied Xebraskans fought to the last few seconds with the margin of victory being supplied by Hobbs. The scoring started right after the tip-off. when Vroman connected for a basket and was off for a ten point scoring for the Blue Devils. With five minutes left in the game Glenwood was leading by the score of 26 to 20, but Hobbs and Johnson spurted the locals. With one minute left Rice fed the ball to Maynard Hobbs under the basket, and his shot was good to give the margin of victory to his team of 27 to 2G. In the seconds that remained the Plattsmouth team froze the ball as the clock ticked off the precious seconds. Vroman led the Plattsmouth vic tory with ten points. Rice, six points, Johnson, five. Van Pelt and Hayes, a pair of rangy forwards looked the best for Glenwood.

Tobey- SOLDIERS, sailors, war workers, and civilians all crave good desserts. There is no reason why they should not have them in war- a r ii v i lme as wen as in normal times. The wartime dessert should, however, be as nourishing as it is agreeable to the palate. It can easily be both. Despite shortages in su gar, chocolate, spices, and con iff 3 I Dr. J. A. Tobey diments, plenty of tasty and nu tritious desserts are and will be available. A dessert has several definite nutritive functions. It completely satisfies the appetite, giving an agreeable feeling of fullness. It stimulates digestion. It provides food-energy and othei- nutriment needed by the body. Foods that can now be used as desserts include fruits, cake, pie, pastries, puddings, ice cream, cus tards, cookies, and doughnuts. All are valuable in the diet, although there is some variation in their dietary qualities. Pie, cake, and ice cream are our most popular desserts.

These fruit pies not only are good sources of food energy, yielding from 300 to 400 calories to the average four inch slab, but they contain some body building protein, some food-minerals, and appreciable amounts of certain vitamins, such as vitamins A and C. About half of the volume of the average cake is made up of such protective foods as eggs, milk, and butter or pure vegetable shorten ing. The other half consists of wheat flour and sugar or other sweetening agents such as honey and molasses. "Eat your egg the cake way," is, in fact, a good slo gan these days. Cake furnishes about 100 calo ries per ounce, although the food energy yield may be a little more or a little less, depending on the exact composition or type of cake. Ice cream inherits many of the excellent dietary properties of its fluid ancestor, milk. High in ener gy value, about 70 calories per ounce, it is abundant in protein, the food-mineral calcium, and vitamins A and B.. None of these desserts is fatten ing when properly included in a well-constructed daily diet. A des sert should, in fact, be a part of a balanced meal, and not a mere appendage to it. i
