Chain Yields Catfish A 4-pound catfish captured this morning by the crew of a coast guard boat below the Alton dam graced the table at noon today. The coast guardsmen are not allowed to fish on duty so they don't get as many fish as they might Hike to have. This morning when they were raising anchor they found that.

a catfish hooked to a line and a cane pole had become entangled In the anchor chain and came out of the water with the chain. It was concluded that the catfish must have been hooked the night before by a pole and line fisherman and that the fisherman had lost pole, line, hook and fish. Swimming around in the river dragging the line and pole, the catfish became caught, on the coast, guard boat's anchor chain nnd Insured that the coast guardsmen would have a Friday fish dinner.

Can Tomato Juice As Vitamin Source URBANA, 111., (Special) With a thought for.her blue ration coupons and for the new tomatoes forming in abundance on victory garden vines, the homemaker may well add tomato juice canning to her summer activities, suggests Mrs. Cora Lockhart, assistant in home economics, University' of Illinois College Agricul- Although the vitamin content of tomato juice is only about half that of orange juice, it Is an important and almost, necessary source of vitamin for many people, especially farm families whose access lo fresh trult Is very limited during the winter months. 1'omato juice can be used as a beverage, for soups wifh gelatin to make tomato aspic salad or-spiced cauces to bo used wltli meats. Spiced tomato juice is made by reheating the juice with onions, peppers and celery, and then re-straining.

Another variation is made by adding mixed spices. It is best to do this alter opening the canned juice, since spices tend to darken the juice and give undesirable flavors. Even though I he process of canning tomato juice is simple, much care should be taken. In the first place utensils of brass, copper, iron zinc or galvanized metal should not be used, because they often give an undesirable metallic linge to the jiuce. Tomatoes fresh from the vines should be used if possible.

Demobilization Continued From Page 1. 2,500,000 would still be in the armed forces. The peak in unemployment was expected in the second or third quarter after the end of hostilities. Order of Release The conference said It seemed likely that levels of wages, hours and earnings would return to those of 1939 or 1940, and that the resulting losses wquld effect purchasing capacity and markets for manufactured goods, which in turn would affect adversely the ability of Industries to maintain production and employment levels. The conference offered no prediction on the cost of meeting the demobilization and adjustment problems arising from the war, but conceded they Would be "heavy." For demobilization of the armed forces, the conference proposed this order of precedence: 1, those married with dependents; 2, those married without dependents; 3, those unmarried with dependents; and 4, those unmarried without dependents.

As a general policy, the members suggested that the men who had seen arduous overseas duties be released as early as possible, and replaced by men with less strenuous service if large numbers of troop; must be kept abroad. Lump Bonus Opposed The report also took up after- war aid to war workers, for whom the furlough payments and other listed provisions would not apply. It, said: the interest of war workers, whether in industry or in government, the conference has made specific recommendations for setting up readjustment centers through which counsel and assistance and re-training may be made available in readjustment to other jobs, and for strengthening the existing employment agencies for their heavier load. "The conference recommends that a moderate policy be pursued in the cancellation of war contracts policy calculated to avoid the dumping of workers on an overstocked market, so far as this is feasible." The committee apparently came out against any large lump-sum bonus, such as that which Congress voted over the President's veto for World War I veterans. It specifically said that the three months' mustering-oUt 'or "furlough" payments "are explicitly made in lieu of any other grants for such purposes to avoid making large payments at any ori'e time, which might be dissipated and fail to fulfill the social purposes for which they are granted."

While Sicily has some wheat of Its own, he said, we are sending in wheat, and In addition are moving in diescl oil to supply the power for milling.
