Modem Chaplain Rides the Circuit in an Airplane The war has brought back the circuit rider, that famed clerical figure of another era, but this time lie uses an airplane instead of a horse. Chaplain (Capt.) William E. Taggart, who was chaplain of the 19th bombardment group, United States army air forces, has told about it Chaplain Taggart wears the Silver Star, awarded him for gallantry in the Southwest Pacific. "An army chaplain assigned to an '«ir corps unit in a combat theater fleams that he cannot expect his men to attend his services regularly,” Chaplain Taggart said. "So he has to go to the men. Many times 1 have boarded a plane and gone to the men, hidden maybe in the jungle and awaiting a chance to attack or to fly on a defensive mission. They Haven’t time to listen to sermons, and the chaplain has to go by each plane, give a short religious message to the pilot and the members of his crew and then hurry on to the next. It is circuit riding all over again but a little more modern than that which we had in the old days. “A chaplain doesn’t have to ‘sell* the Word of God to his men. His main job is seeing that religion is always made available to them. Of course, he has the never-ending job of visiting the sick and the wounded, the reviving of the spirits of the downhearted and the burying ot the glorious dead. He never feels his work is through, but he also never feels that the seeds he sows do not bear fruit. All around him he can see the fruits of his work. There is a need for more and more chaplains and, even with the full quota assigned to us, there won’t be enough 'to do the job as well as we of the 'church would like to see it done.” Walnut Shell Plastic Filler Walnut shells are used as fillers in many types of plastics. They are used with growing importance in the war effort for the making of the large cast molds used to form or stamp large aluminum airplane sections and for the molding of plywood sheets. Great quantities of walnut shell flour are used as fillers in various rubber products. Walnut shell flour contains Cutin, a waxllike substance designed by nature to make the shells waterproof. This feature is very valuable in a filler ifor plastic products.

Sheen on Furniture In finishing furniture, to obtain a rich, semi-polished use clean, white cotton waste wrung out in water for the final rub. Cotton flannel may be substituted for the waste. This method removes any "stop marks” left by the felt rubbing pad used for the oil rub. Never use rubbing pads for oil to give the water rub, since water causes the pads to become hard and glazed. When a pad has become hard, soak it overnight in gasoline and brush with a dry scrubbing brush.

Army Orders Salvage of Waste for. Further Use What happens to the "old bottles, old bones, old clothes," and old bullets too, that accumulate in the army to told by army regulations which prescribe methods for their salvage, reclamation, exchange, sale or destruction. Intensive measures are used to reclaim waste material at army installations of every type. Troops an under instructions to conserve such materials as leather, wood, metal, paper, tin cans, burlap, botties, rags and worn-out clothing. Mess officers an required to pay particular attention to saving food waster, including grease and bones, meat scraps and garbage, as well as the various types of containers.

The bulk of these is turned over to the quartermaster corps, army service forces-,- there being certain exceptions such as ammunition. Ordnance officers now salvage the metal from shell and bomb fragments as well as expended bullets on practice ranges. Duds, after being rendered inert or detonated, also augment the scrap collection. Materials of different kinds are segregated by the quartermaster corps in accordance with a standard classification list. They are examined carefully to determine whether they can be repaired or reclaimed economically for further use by the army. When that is practicable, it is done. Paints Must Be Dull Paint used on war equipment is largely dull, to avoid highlights that might attract the attention of the enemy. Paint manufacturers could easily make a dull paint, but it was found that dullness alone was not enough for some of the wartime uses. For example, a type of dull paint might not reflect telltale light from a given angle of view, but would reflect it from larger angles. Consequently, paint chemists were called upon to make paint that would be dull at all angles. They solved the problem and now are using instruments known as glossmeters, sheenmeterS and goniophotometers for measuring the reflectance factors of dull paints at all angles in incidence. Early Animal Cures A review of early livestock books offers perhaps the most amusing method of discovering the progress modern science has made in protecting the health of farm animals. For example, a book published in 1798 tells that a greasy dish-cloth is a good treatment for saddle sores. A curious cure for red water in cattle consisted of drenching them with milk in which a red-hot iron had been quenched. Turnip poultices were also recommended as a cure for all sorts of ills. One of the most interesting comments was the suggestion that the livestock owner continue to try different treatments until he found the right one. And one might add—if the animal lived long enough.

Spray Against Scabs Growers using liquid lime-sulphur for scab sprays usually use the following amounts to each 100 gallons of water, for delayed dormant two gallons and lor pre-pink and pink 1H gallons. Users of flotation type sulphur put 12 pounds in each 100 gallons of water for both the pre-pink and the pink sprays. Dry lime sulphur can be used in place of the liquid lime sulphur, the amounts used to 100 gallons of water being eight pounds in the delayed dormant and six pounds lor both pre-pink and pink sprays. Wettable sulphurs used according to their manufacturer's directions can be substituted for flotation type sulphur. In orchards where varieties susceptible to scab can be sprayed separately from resistant varieties, the application on the resistant varieties should be a milder spray than the one used on susceptible varieties. To control scab, it to important to have the foliage covered with the fungicide before rains. Three pounds of lead arsenate and five pounds of lime should be added to the pink spray to be applied in orchards which were defoliated by the canker worm in 1942.

Applawvnas Appleworms, also called codling moths, pass the winter in cocoons in crevices under loose flakes of bark and in coarse trash on the ground. A thorough cleanup of such situations before apple blossom time has definite value in reducing the number of worms that will infest the fruit during the coming season. Loose bark may be scraped from the trunk and larger branches, caught on a canvas and burned to destroy worms that have made their cocoons there. Coarse trash, such as pieces of wood, heavy weed stems, parts of boxes and pruning wood, all of which have worms attached, need to be removed and burned. Since fruit trees are easily injured by fire, burning should not be done under them. Keep Brooder Hen Clean Although natural brooding with a good natured heavy-breed hen is simple and very near foolproof, the uninitiated must observe certain precautions to avoid disappointments. Before the chicks are placed with the hen she must be thoroughly dusted with pyrethrum powder, or some prepared poultry delousing powder, but not sodium fluoride. This should be done two or three hours before placing the chicks with the hen and repeated at each week or ten day intervals. Unless this is done, the chicks are very liable to become so infested with lice and mites that they will either die or be very unthrifty.

Professor Says Use of Oven for Canning Costly Use of the oven method for canning is one of the prime causes of spoiled home canned foods, according to Dr. William V. Cruess, professor of fruit technology and chemist. He pointed out hazards which may arise from heating jars of food in an oven instead of the usually recommended pressure cooker or pot “First, as air is a very poor conductor of heat,” he indicated, "the jars and contents heat extremely slowly and very unevenly. Fruits canned by this method may not be heated enough to prevent browning in the jars by enzyme action.

“Secondly, the contents do not rise above the boiling point, 212 degrees F., regardless of what the oven thermometer may say, because when the boiling point is reached the natural laws of physics prevent the temperature from rising. Non-acid foods should reach 239 to 250 degrees F. to remove the danger of botulism, fatal food poisoning.” Another hazard, Dr. Cruess pointed out, is that jars, if sealed, may burst, with possible injury to the housewife.

Dehydrated Foods Big Hem in Marine's Fare Since transportation space is one of the biggest problems for supply officers, dehydrated foods are used as much as possible in marine field kitchens. Dehydrated foods have been developed to such a degree that most at the time they can not be detected from fresh foods. Powdered eggs with bacon and powdered milk with hot or cold cereal, along with canned fruit, constitute the usual breakfast. Coffee remains the favorite morning beverage. Potatoes are the staple vegetable for dinner and supper, with beans and corn competing for second place. A condensed form of butter which comes in tins and is nonperishable supplements every meat Canned fruit is the usual dessert. Bread, made by a special tropical formula, is rationed six ounces per man daily. Orangeade and lemonade, made from crystals, and grape and grapefruit juices are usually served once a day as a precaution against beri-beri and scurvy. Dysentery and diarrhea, World War I bogeys, are held to a minimum
