Terminal Leave Pay for Insurance Veterans who wish to assign their “terminal leave” bonds to Veterans Administration as payment on their National Service Life or U. S. Government Life or U. S. Government Life Insurance should get the necessary assignment forms from their nearest Veterans Administration Contact Office, the local V. A. office was today advised by Francis Brosnan, Regional Insurance Officer. Qualified employees are on hand in all VA Contact Offices to assist the veterans in assigning their bonds and to give them up-to-date information regarding their GI insurance. Although VA does nof issue the “terminal leave” bonds under the Armed Forces Leave Act of 1946. the law authorized VA to accept the bonds in connection with government life insurance payments. The bonds may be used as follows:

1. To pay premiums on insurance already in force. 2. To purchase new insurance.’ 3. To reinstate lapsed insurance. 4. To pay the amount required when converting term insurance to permanent forms. 5. To repay policy loans made prior to July 31, 1946. When a bond is used for insurance premium payments, it must be assigned in its entirety, Brosnan said. Any balance above the amount necessary to make the desired payment will be credited to the veteran’s account and will be used for the purpose of paying future premiums. However, the veteran can specifically request that the balance be held until the maturity date of the bond, at which time it will be refunded in cash without interest. When the veteran assigns his bond, he will receive credit for its face value, plus interest accruing up to the end of the month in which the assignment is made. Under the law, bonds may not be used for insurance payments as a means of securing the cash proceeds of the bonds before the maturity date.

(Minnesota Attempts 1 To Claim Dan Patch

Indianapolis, Indiana — Anybody with a little Hoosier horse sense knows the famous Dan Patch was a native of Indiana, Lt. Gov. Richarcl T. James said today. And, said James, if Hollywood movie moguls depict the celebrated race horse as a gopher from Minnesota, he’ll personally see to it that no Hoosier sets foot in a theatre where the movie about Dan is being shown. A long battle between Indiana and Minnesota broke into the open today. It all started when Indiana officials learned Minnesota was claiming Dan Patch, who never lost a harness race, and proposed to monopolize the forthcoming motion picture. I’ve been telling Hollywood Producer W. R. Frank for months that Dan Patch was an Indiana horse that first won a name for himself in Indiana,” James said. “If Hollywood portrays Dan as a Minnesota horse, I shall seriously consider requesting all Hoosier theater owners to refuse to show this picture,” he said indignantly. Secretary of State Rue J. Alexander was also hot under the collar. Alexander said he carried the time on Dan Patch when the horse ran and won his first race at the Boswell, Ind., fairgrounds. “I told Frank about that,” Alexander said. “I warned him that Hoosiers would be sore as the dickens if their state was omitted ‘from Dan’s life story.” “I guess Dan did do some racing up there,” he said, “but they ought to shoot the first scenes in Indiana. “Dan Patch was fast, but he didn’t travel from Indiana to Minnesota as fast as Hollywood thinks he did,” said James.

Veteran Remains 2 Years In Jungles Lae, New Guniea. — An American serviceman, who managed to survive for two years in the New Guinea jungles—equipped only with a razor and a Bfble —was found near collapse in a clump of reeds several days ago, it was disclosed today. Hospital attendants -said the American had been identified tentatively as Cpl. J. B. Stubblefield, Hillsboro, Tenn. They said his condition was surprisingly good, but that he was suffering from malaria. He has been unable to give a coherent account of his wanderings. The tentative identification was made through a name written on the fly leaf of the Bible. Mrs. J. B. Stubblefield, Hillsboro, Tenn., was listed as his next of kin. Officials said the American could remember only that he entered the jungles in 1944. They said he was dressed in jungle greens and Australian airforce boots. The hospital attendants said he was unable to tell them-ovhat branch of the service he belonged to. He apparently obtained his food from natives or from U. S. army food dumps. For several months, natives have reported that a white man had been seen roaming the jungles. Choose a Fat Man For the Ideal Mate Boston, Mass. — If a woman wants a happy married life she should choose a fat man for a mate, according to Prof. Earnest A. Hooton, Harvard anthropoligist. It’s a simple process of elimination, he said at Temple Israel hall last night as he explained the differences between the three main types of men. These are the fat man, the bone and muscle man. and the string-bean type, Hooton said. Hooton said that each type of man is further divided and the fat man or “butter-ball” type has

NEW YORK, N. Y. — (Soundphoto) — William Arthur Nickel, dapper $100-a-week cashier who has confessed to looting the Mergenthaler Linotype Company of between $734,000 and $900,000, is shown signing his fingerprint record at police headquarters. He was later taken to the Brooklyn Felony court where he was arraigned. at least 20 distinctive characteristics. These, he said, include a love of physical comfort, a sense of relaxation, slow, smooth reactions and a love of eating, ceremony and formality. They are good judges of character, remarkable family men and good husbands, he added. Hooton warned women against the “string-bean,” who he said generally suffers from sociophobia, a dislike for people and chronic fatigue, and is unpredictable. The “bone and muscle” man, according to Hooton, is the “perennial sophomore” —- the man who comes back to lead the cheers. He is apt to weary his wife with his romantic tendencies, Hooton said, or go to the other extreme and bury himself in an abstract book on philosophy. Most men fortunately are combinations of all types, he said, and “I myself have inherited all the annoying characteristics of each of the three types.”

hotels and other public buildings. But the American private home, under no such compulsion, is the Yuletide scene of scores of accidents which are due to the timehonored but highly inflammable Christmas tree. These tragedies, often fatal, can be prevented, says Paul W. Kearney in the tortheoming December issue of the Reader’s Digest. His article, condensed from Public Safety, tells how. A simple fireproofing procedure for trees, recommended by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, utilizes a solution of ammonium sulphate and water. A Christmas tree, with its butt standing in a container of the solution for a few days, will absorb most of the liquid. After this treatment, details of which are given in the Digest article, a tree won’t be ignited by an electric spark or a cigarette, Kearney says. If flameproof cotton “snow” is unobtainable, similar material can be sprayed with fireproofing mixtures sold by hardware stores Local fire prevention bureaus and insurance offices can give the names of approved preparations. Many fire chiefs, trying to safeguard the private home, conduct information campaigns in press and radio each holiday. Despite such warning, Kearney notes, fatal Chrstmas tree fires totaled more than 60 last year and nonfatal outbreaks were numbered in the hundreds.

By BETTY Now that cake flour is once more available, light textured cakes are certainly welcomed back" into our recipe “fold” — especially with holidays in the offing! So here are recipes for two delicious cakes which, between them use both egg whites and yolks. The first is a light textured sponge cake which we haven't been able to make for ages. This cake, you will note, calls for egg yolks only. A not inconsiderable number of the remaining egg whites go into the preparation of the Angel Cream Roll, a treat which stores perfectly in the refrigerator for the next night’s dinner — that is if you’re lucky enough to have any left over after the family has once sampled this delicate specialty. Honestly, these "cake twins” are ideal for special occasions and definitely go hand in hand toward dessert success: Golden Sponge Loaf cups sifted Swans Down Cake flour 1 teaspoon double-acting baking flour Vj teaspoon salt 10 egg yolks, at room temperature ^ cup hot water 1 te^poon lemon extract 1 cuf5 sugar Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder and salt, and sift together three times. Beat egg yolks with rotary egg beater; add, hot water gradually, beating until mixture is very thick and light (about 10 minutes). Add flavoring. Then add sugar gradually, beating constantly. Add flour in fourths, folding in until just blended. Turn into ungreased 10-inch ‘tube pan and hake .an. moderate oven (375° F.) 40 minutes, or until done. Remove from oven and invert pan 1 hour, or until cold. If desired sprinkle confectioners’ sugar over top, placing a lace paper doily on top of cake before sifting, to make an attractive pattern.

I think I will unionize the dentists. I don’t know why they don’t all refuse to work for three months. This would produce millions of toothaches, and the dentists could then raise their prices five times. The dentists could do a wonderful job of giving themselves nuisance value, and thus use the modern scheme of improving their position. Other groups set out to let other people starve, walk or freeze until the nuisance becomes unbearable and the obnpxious group gets what it wants. Form a picket line, sit down on the premises, camp in the legislature, screech, rebel, be completely repulsive — seems to be today’s way of getting what you want.

More To Turkey Than Eating It Chicago, 111. — There’s more to a turkey than meets the mouth, Harvey Perlman said today. Perlman, a feather merchant, pointed out that besides eating her Thanksgiving turkey, mother sleeps on it, wears it and dusts with it. For turkey feathers, he said are used to stuff pillows, decorate women’s hats and make feather dusters. And junior may flaunt turkey feathers on his Indian suit as he shoots arrows tipped with turkey feather into mother’s corsage of artificial flowers that are made of turkey feathers. While in the next room dad cleans his tuba with a turkey feather—which Perlman said is better for this job than anything science can devise. Perlman is vice-president of a feather firm that buys feathers from poultry dressing houses and sells them to manufacturers of archery equipment, bedding, ladies hats and the like. “We handle carloads of turkey feathers every year, he said. “It’s a seasonal business, of course. Right now—just before the holidays—we’re busiest of all. “You won’t believe this, but not long ago the chief of a tribe of Winnebago Indians — from around the Wisconsin Dells, 1 believe—well, h© came in here to buy some white turkey feathers. “He only wanted a few pounds. Needed them to decorate the ceremonial headdress the Indians wear for their tribal dances and ritual. But imagine an Indian coming to Chicago to buy feathers!” Poultry dressing houses remove turkey feathers with machinery, he said Then they are curled artificially by bathing them in steam. Goose and duck feathers naturally are curly. For use in bedding, Perlman said, curling is necessary because curled feathers are warmer than straigth feathers. Feathers are sold by the pound. A 20-pound turkey yields about two pounds of feathers, Perlman estimated. The current retail price is about 6 1-2 cents per pound. The feather business, he said, depends greatly upon clothing styles. When the feather-tipped Empress Eugenie hats were popular in 1935, one feather merchant made $100,000 in three months. Perlman has a fashion idea all his own: “Why don’t men wear feathers in their coat pockets instead of handkerchiefs?

RENT CONTROL • Continued From Patre One) liberately to force decontrol by depriving consumers of essential goods or manufacturers of essential materials. This withholding is becoming so serious as to threaten key segments of the economy with paralysis.” * Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill,

Sen. Wherry (R., Neb.) who led the drive to wreck the price control law by weakening amendments, called for removal of rent ceilings.” “I believe,” he said, “that one of the best ways to ease the housing shortage is to remove rent ceilings. His action bears out a CIO prediction that one of the first drives of the Republican leadership in Congress would Be to wreck rent control. Removal of rent ceilings was opposed by Truman, although he said that '‘some adjustment” may be necessary. “Housing,” the President said, “is desperately short and will continue to be short for a long time to come. Tenants are in no position to resist extortionate demands. “The fixing of rents by the ordinary processes of bargaining would bring hardship and suffering to our people.” That abandonment of price controls will cause much hardship was seen in the flood of price boosts that followed the lifting of ceiling restrictions. Cost of materials for badly needed homes will shoot upward with copper, lead, zinc and steel scrap increases. Copper jumped from ISVgc a pound to 17y2C and steel scrap rose by $2.50 a ton. The Geneva Steel Co., a U. S. Steel subsidiary, announced that structural steel prices have advanced slightly over $2.52 per 100 pounds in carload lots. The Inti. Harvester Co. ordered a 9% boost in farm implement prices. General Electric home appliances jumped from 10 to 60%. Westinghouse Electric advanced prices of switches, transformers and small motors 8 to 25%.
