Beckmann, commanding officer of the United States Army Recruiting Station in Birmingham.

Emphasizing tha trecruiting of women for medical technican as- signinents in the Army hospitals and also for general assignment duties will be continued after that date, Captain Beckmann said that every effort will be made to enlist in the 'Women's Army Corps within the next few weeks those women who desire to select their job and the Army post at which they wilt serve. He pointed out that there are more than 200 types of jobs from which they may choose and approximately 100 army posts from which they may select their assignment. "This program offers the enlistee a greater voice in determining her military future than any program ever inaugurated by any branch of service," the recruiting officer declared. "Thousands of women throughout the country have taken advantage of its op' portunities since it was begun several months 'ago, and we hope that thousands more will do likewise during the last few weeks of its existence." In conjunction with the emphasis placed on the job and station assignment recruiting program of the Corps during the next few weeks, the recruiting service also will be seeking thousands of women either; for training as medical technicians, or in cases where they are already trained, for direct assignment to Army hospital to help care for this country's wounded servicemen. Twenty-two thous- and'women are being sought thru- out the country for such jobs.

Enlistment of women in the field of medical technology and for general assignment in the Women's Army Corps will he continued indefinitely, he said. To qualify under the station-and- joh assignment program of the Women's Army Corps, a woman must be between 20 and 49 years of age inclusive, in good health and have no children under 14 and at least two years of high school education. The same qualifications are necessary for enlistment under the medical technician program except that she must have completed her high school education. The Army Recruiting tation is located at 919 Frank Nelson Building, Birmingham. The telephone number is 7-8392.

In addition, more cattle are coining to market directly from the range so that there is a bigger- supply, of utility and commercial grade beef than ever before. To avoid food waste this utility beef has been made ration-free so that housewives can, make full use of it. fruit or a crisp, raw vegetable should be put in the lunch box.

ahead of that chocolate layer cake or those two doughnuts. A With a little cooking skill, utility beef can be made appetizing and nourishing. Because it is lean, it should be kept moist and cook- ed at a moderate temperature for a long time. If the meat is browned in fat--pork drippings or suet-before steaming or stewing, the roast will have a better flavor. A tropical -hurricane in the Atlantic blew three to four million bushels of apples to the ground.

Because these windfalls are bruised and will not store well, it's up to the housewives now to make full use of them. After using as many fresh apples as possible, the rest can be used for apple sauce, apple butter and jelly. nform'dl Get-To-gether Monday Evening Honors Boys Home On Furlough Several boys at home.on furlough from the srevice were honored Monday evening when a congenial group enjoyed a steak dinner at a local cafe and dancing afterwards at Mary Ruth Mit- home.

Bialock, Miss Charlotte Gibbs and Bishop, COUNTY A fricasse of beef with dumplings is a delicious way of making- full use of the good supply of utility beef available this fall. Cut the meat into small cubes, cover with flour, season, brown in fat with an onion, cover with water and allow to cook slowly. When meat is tender, remove it, make gravy by adding a little flour and cold water, then drop dumplings in the broth. Births Recorded In Cullman During September, 1944 Mr. and Mrs.

The public is cordially to all services announced church. invited by the Illinois Man Speeds Up His Haymaking Used to Pick Up Bales A clever method of saving labor in haying has been worked out by E. Houser near Farmer City in DeWitt county, ELL On his 560-acre farm Mr. Houser has a herd of 60 Hereford cows and he has fed out as many as 175 feeder cattle and 1,000 western lambs in one year. To provide enough hay for this livestock, he fills two barns, each holding about 80 tons in bales.

Mr. Houser hires a pickup baler. The bales are dropped in the field as they come from the baler. To pick up the bales and haul them to the barn Mr. Houser built a sled which is pulled by a tractor.

The sled is 20 feet long and 4 feet wide, and made from two logs and old lumber; it carries 33 bales, when loaded three bales high. In picking up bales two men work on the sled with hooks: the tractor does not stop but moves continuously at about miles per hour. When they come alongside a bale one of the men on the sled hooks it and pulls one end onto the sled. The forward motion pushes the bale onto the sled, where both men pile it in position. The Houser's find it much easier to load this way than if the sled is stopped.

They wait until the baler has made two rounds and pulj the sled between two rows of bales, driving back and forth to load from either side. With the method used the three regular men on the farm can put up the hay as fast as it is baled and Mr. Houser feels that the additional charge made if a loading device were pulled directly behind the baler would not be justified. At the center of one barn there is an elevator running up over the roof like an outside corn elevator. It consists of a wooden chute a little wider than a bale and a single chain, from a corn elevator, with four steel cleats.

Power for running this tinuous chain is provided by an elecr- tric motor. The end of the elevator is close to the ground so that when the bales are pulled up to it on the sled they can be tipped onto the chain without lifting. Instead of thfc chain Mr, Houser originally used an old thresher belt with wooden At For many people, and particularly for children' it's sound planning to have one-fourth to one-third of the day's food at breakfast. But there's no hard-and-fast rule. A desk worker who eats a substantial lunch early may get along very well on a light breakfast.

It's the food eaten in the entire day, totaled up, that tells whether one has eaten enough. Cpl. Shelley Lamberth is now in India with the Transportation Coi-ps. The person who misses breakfast frequently loses out on certain vitamins and nutrients such as vitamin vitamin Bl and calcium, and'may seriously reduce his total daily intake of all foods. --Photo N.

Y. Dress Institute pvRESSMAKER touches for tweed I is a new Pall note, cleverly carried out in the coat above, iu striped grey and hunter's green, by a New York designer. Note the large fabric buttons, the sleeves caught with a half-around cuff band, and the partially belted, graceful skirt. Unlike the strictly sports style, this is a coat to top anything in your daytime wardrobe. It's a surprise, too, to find many of season's coats less than full length, and without any buttons at all, so that they may be wrapped as you please.

A boxy model in black wool with a bit of Persian trim can go anywhere, and looks right even over an evening dress. FIRST METHODIST CHURCH O. K. Lamb, Pastor E. McCain, Supt Church School 9:45 a.

Larger Hybrid Acreage To Swell Corn Output Increased plantings to hybrid va- rietes accounted for a large percentage of the rise in the farm area devoted to corn in 10 Midwestern states this spring, according to a statement made public by the Middle West Soil Improvement committee, based on an analysis of U. department of agriculture figures. "This increasing trend to hybrids will swell the Corn Belt's 1944 output," the statement points out.

hybrids outyield open-pollinated varieties by 20 to 25 bushels per acre, they likewise make a bigger draft on the soil's plant food resources. Thus they create the need for better crop management meth- including the use of fertilizers not only to help produce bigger yields, but to replace to some extent at least, the soil wealth removed by the crop." More Citrus Frnit Total citrus fruit production for 1943-44 is expected to be about 6 per cent above 1942-43 and about 52 per cent above the average annual production in 1935-39, the U. S. department of agriculture reports. The larger orange crop is.

credited with the expected increase. i. I A U. S. SOLDIER EATS MORE THAN CIVILIAN SCX.DIER 4 i i -1 i I A I.
