Torfc 14 End Food Wastes It was a must with' the children in many hTJmes back in the days when families 'lived more frugal lives to "wipe yonr plate clean." That was another way saying "don't waste food." The dogs got the- all that was left. Today on every hand, from the White House down, with half the world begging to share our crust, and living costs in America prohibitive for-great numbers oC citizens, one' hears the plea to eat leas and less. To apply the same old brand ot frugality common to the horse-and-buggy years we renounced to live faster and higher. Millions of households where the means remain for member to buy foods without stint are known to waste the equivalent ot the supply of millions other homes whore roods are scarcest. Tuesday, one the heels of President Truman's appeal to the nation to save food, came what to many is expected to appeal as a commonsense way around inflated food prices.

Mrs. R. M. Kiffer, Secre- tary-Mauaser ol the National Retail Association, claims one fourth ot all the food produced in the United States is wasted every year. That farmers, food processors, and distributors "donate" two hours every day to maintaining an "ever normal" garbage dump.

"The Retail Grocers' Association has been preaching conservation for a long time." she said. "Only recently we adopted the slogan, 'starve garbage pail'." As hard to believe as some readers may find it to be. Mrs. Kiffer said statistics she gathered show that more food was wasted in the United States than was consumed annually during the war by the armed forces and Icnd-lease recipients combined. Enough food to feed 20 million people, she said, or enough to feed all the people of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island.

Connecticut. New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia. The official whose study has been foods and food conservation pointed to discorded day-old breads, crumbs, crusts, ends and scraps of left-over meats, chicken necks and backs, fruits and vegetables ruined in groceries, lettuce leaves and the like as good foods that could be used again in many ways. It is not unusual to hear some one say left-over foods at his bouse are thrown out. Butchers were advised to display cheaper parts of beef animals and not keep them hidden to sell the more expensive filet mlgnon rolled- rib roasts and ham.

She suggested' Beef heel of round, hind shank, breast, neck, ground. Veal roast and blade chops instead of rib chops. and rib end pork chops instead of center cut, shoulder steak instead of center cut. loin and rib end pork loin roasts, ground pork patties, smoked picnic hams. the plate clean."

Marks of West Salem today was Wheat King of the south' eastern Illinois wheat improvement association," chosen by members at a meeting here this week.

ODDS and ENDS Workmen are razing Murphysboro's oldest bank little square brick box at Walnut and Eighth Sts. Thus one of the oldest landmarks in the business district is to become-just a memory. James E. Walker organized it, the Walker Bank, a private bank, at the location then a block east from Cherry now Ninth.

Walker, built the large brick home now the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Daniel at the northeast corner of the intersection, considered a mansion in that day and still a very attractive residence. For years it was the home of the Walls-Willard, president of the Pioneer National Bank, and his wife, Mary. Some how the humble little brick bank building that stood so long was emblematic of the community's sturdiness and the rugged character of its "old timers." In later years the building became the office quarters for succeeding businesses, the last permanently active there being the Big Muddy Lumber Company, with "Ike" Blackwood at its helm.

Morgan- Jewell Motor Co. later a-cquired the site from the Blackwbod estate for erection of a modern service, sales and wareroom" center. The Column is indebted to N. Hardy of the City National Bank for early data on the Walker bank. It was moved "down town" and became the City National September 12.

1S92 with assets of $21,000 compared to the bank's assets today. Walker was the first president of the City National, but for a short time. Other officers were John M. Herbert, Vice-Presi dent, John G. Hardy, Cashier and John S.

Norman, Assistant Cashier. The name Hardy thus has been associated officially with the bank since its beginning. John G. Hardy advanced with the years to its presidency and the son, C. is presently a Cashier, The pioneer First National was originally the Miners' Bank and located in the South-, Side Square where the Illinois Electric and Gas Company has district headquarters, The company uses the bank's original vault as a strongbox for its records.

Opposite the old "Granny" rail- mad track north from Carbon take there still remains partly intact in the one-time series of coke ovens one of the tunnel ovens. One can still see its arched dome from the roadway to the lake. Residents near this oven site, and another 1n the woods eastward of the tracks atiil take firebrick for building purposes. These brick have stood the ravages of the years for nearly a century. ON LITERARY MERIT RAGES IN HANNS EISLER HEARING By FREDERICK OTHMA-N WASHINGTON, Sept.

(UP) suppose," began Rep. Rarikin, who is Mississippi's greatest authority on literature, "that I am as familiar with English poetry and narrative any member of either House ot Congress." Hanns Eisler, the part- time communist, loosened pink lips in a tentative' smile. "And I say," roared the gentle- of the movie cameras, "that this is not poetry. It is filth. Pure filth." no," wailed Eisler.

"It is art. Really grea-t art." Conversations like this are beyond me. Here was the House Un- American Activities Committee try- ins to discover why the State Department suddenly changed its mind in 1929 about Eisler's desirability in the United States and gave 'him a visa to enter tlie J.f whose-face had' re'd'cier-tlia'n its normal shocking pinkj; interrupted: "I would suggest into The' "WTiite trKitched (Jp'ngress- mau frpfri- Mississippi ignored the iilea 'blushing chairman, delivered his sbiiiotiuy on filth and poetry, and this is where we, came in. Along'about here shouiai.go in quotation mavks the verses which the congressional professors objected. And'then I'd go to jail and all I wish -is that Congress would skip of ject.

It i reporter, try. Here's a contribution from one the old timers about Murphysboro who helped through the sale of his labor to build the city. Guess who. I'VE TRIED THEM As a carefree lad I've trod these old streets (and alleys). As a young man in the 'teens I have roamed these same old streets.

As a man of family, going out dally to my work with a full dinner pail (sometimes not so full) I have traveled these old streets at all hoars, day and night, and through all kinds of weather. And now. as a pensioner, I am still traveling these old streets, but not the alleys. The vigor and vim of childhood are gone and my speed has decreased. I am just a has-been waiting for the Master's call.

I can testify that the best years of one's life are those 'years when you go to your work daily, when the children are small, and when you come home at night to a good meal, a smiling- wife, and after a good night's rest you are ready to go again. My advice to those in this bracket is: "Make the most of it; don't long and wish for the time when you can retire; you may thousands have, that you can not exist on a pension unless you cut your budget to a bare living." ONE PAST SIXTY. HEARING AID DEVELOPED NEW YORK, Sept, Science has come a long ways since the day when the deaf or Imrd-of- hearing person stuck a trumpet in his ear, Today it was announced that a new hearing that can amplify sound 20,000 times and still be carried in a seven-ounce packet hidden in the been developed. This new device, announced by the Sonotone Corporation, is so delicate that it can pick up sounds that even the natural ear can npt hear.

"Yah," agreed Eisler. "Beautiful music. Beautiful." There followed a lengthy list of song titles, interspersed with yahs; Eisler had composed the music for them all. He hadn't written the words, but he had read them carefully. "But they are obscene," insisted; the gentleman from Pennsylvania, "They should not through the mails." "They are great poetry," insisted Eisler, squeezing the fire off the end of a denicotin-ized oigarette and lighting a fresh one.

He did the squeezing, incidentally, with his bare fingers and how he escaped- blisters is a mystery. "GREAT POETRV!" exclaimed Rep. McDowell. "Why one of these- songs ridicules the German law prohibiting abortions." "Yah," said Eisler. "It is a.
