Nazis Tighten Ring Around Turkey Crewless Blimp Descends in Street SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17 Two naval officers, missing when their crewless and broken blimp floated in from the ocean and descended on a street in suburban Daly City, were hunted at sea off the Golden Gate today.

The blimp had been on a routine anti-submarine patrol flight. Two life belts were missing from the craft when it landed, but all of the parachutes and the- rubber life raft were found in the gondola where the two officer-crewmen rode. The blimp, sagging in the middle, with big tears visible in its fabric and with its two motors idle, drifted in from the Pacific yesterday morning, five hours after it had taken off on a flight. The craft wandered along at tree top height, left one of its depth charges on the Lakeside golf course when a bomb rack scraped the ground, and drew a crowd of hundreds who followed it by automobile and street car before it settled to earth in nearby Daly City. Turkey, fence-straddling, solitary neutral, finds itself menaced once again by encircling Nazi drives.

Guns in the Night Tomato Canning Advice Is Given Sugar for canning is rationed and salt isn't, and one of the most adaptable of all foods available to Rhinelander housewives right now can easily be processed for winter use With salt, nutrition specialists said. That product Is tomatoes, a vital war food and one regarded by the federal government as an essential in the diet of armed forces to the extent that it requested commercial canneries to increase their 1942 pack of canned tomatoes by 25 per cent. Tomatoes are one of the easiest of all things for the home canner to put up in her own kitchen. Local tomatoes are available in Rhinelander at the present time, at reasonable prices.

Besides local tomatoes, shipments are being received in Rhihelander by truck from such points as the municipal market at Benton Harbor (Mich.) where as many as 850,000 tomato packages have been sold in a single year to haulers from a score of states. Probably no vegetable lends itself to as many uses as the tomato. In either the fresh state or canned, the tomato is the basis for many delicious dishes that Rhinelander homemakers can prepare with a minimum of effort.
