Sialute, Army Greeting, Is Thrill for WAACs By AUXILIARY MERITA MILLS Women's Army Auxiliary Corps Half the at least the initial thrill, of being a mem- ber of the women's army is saluting, and having your saluate returned by officers of our armed forces. The salute, you know, is not an act of servility, but a military greeting and recognition, jealousy guarded. You can't, for instance, salute when you're It's as strange to the rookie as. a new fraternal handclasp and the first few times you're suddenly confronted with need to execute this particular bit of military Pi courtesy you are apt to be con- fused. I remember, just after a lee- remember, just after a ture on courtesies, I spotted a chaplain coming down the street.

It was my first chance to salute, and I could hardly wait to show off the snappy little job I had perfected by long practice in front of the mirror. But the closer he got, the more frightened I became. Finally, just 33 he was within the prescribed six paces, I shouted: "How-uu- yoii-aoi" It was so Icud that the poor chap almost jumped out of his uniform. Then he started laughing and saluted. I was a pretty mortified young WAAC.

You might think its easy to tell the difference between enlisted men and officers. Well, it is, when there's nothing at stake. But it's plenty easy to make mistakes too when you haven't time for any' thing but a glance at a good dis- tance. I've saluted many a shined' lip private, much to his enjoyment. You get a special kick out of on.

up snappily for an officer of the Navy or Marine Corps, and I have yet to see one fail to return the salute of a WAACf Sometimes, Army and Navy enlisted personnel have a little good- natured fun at the expense of WAAC officers. One afternoon, I saw a bunch of sailors pass two WAAC lieutenants who were waiting on a street comer in front of their hotel. Blue-clad arms came up in salute. In two minutes the gobs passed again from the opposite direction and salutes were exchanged. This went on for about five return trips.

At last, one of the WAACs faced the sailors squarely. "Listen, boys," she said, "have a heart." Whereupon the Navy heaved anchor and went rollicking down the street. Organ Recital Given Sunday An organ recital featuring Pvt. Allan Ferguson, Cpl. James Pike, soloist, Cpl.

Adjust Car's Lubrication Procedure, ODT Advises A and ration holders and truck operators were advised to adjust their lubrication procedure to restricted wartime use of vehicles to prevent bad performance and eventual breakdown of the motor. The recommendation was released by the maintenance advisory committee to the Office of Defense Transportation.

Less gasoline in the tank and slower driving speeds, resulting in reduced combustion efficiency and cooler motors, contribute to dilution and contamination of oil, which decreases its lubrication value, A. R. Snead, lubrication chairman, said. Therefore the draining period should be shortened from the average recommendation of peacetime. Attention to oil and air filters was also recommended as a protective measure for the engine.

League Members Should Call For Handbooks A number of Victory Handbooks are still at the Paris News for members of the Junior Welfare League. i Members are urged to call for the books. Parisians, like Americans in general, are out to pave the path to victory with War Bonds. Some 200 patriotic Parisians met at Gibraltar Hotel Monday morning for a kickoff breakfast and, then set out to sell $849,000 worth" of bonds in Lamar County. County workers will be organized in the near future.

The nation's soal is $13,000,000,000. The county commissioners, meeting late Saturday, voted to purchase $12,500 in bonds. A heavy rain fell here last Friday and Saturday harming the county's farms and Victory Gardens. The week-end rainfall totaled 2.34 inches. Although the Red Cross War Fund drive closed in Lamar County a couple of weeks ago, contributions continue to trickle in to send the total past the $33,000 mark, while the quota was S25.000.

Another $14,000 has been raised at Maxey. A popular Parisian these days is Lt. J. C. (Bugs) Army Air Forces pilot who is home on furlough after serving in N.

George Morgan Alexander of Paris and Miss Ruth Today on the Home Front By JAMES MARLOW AND GEORGE ZIELKE WASHINGTON, Aloysius Marblehead, the economic quiz kid, came in and chirped: "How come people say we still gotta worry about inflation even if we get prices and wages and profits all under control?" in a call for the experts right away. The experts called back with these answers: Because so much is being made for war now, less is being made for civilians. At the same time more civilians now are working than ever before, generally making more money than ever before. There will be an estimated 70 billion dollars worth of goods which Americans can buy, and because they are making so much money, they will not only have the 70 billion to do the buying but an additional 40 billion looking for a place to be spent. It is that extra 40 billion which is called the "inflationary threat," meaning it might be used to bid up prices.

If that happened, the cost of living would rise while value of money went down. Though people have all that loose 4 billion, how can they cause inflation with it if prices nnd everything else are under stiff control? People with too much money to- spend would try to spend it. Some of it would go into speculation on the stock market, some into real estate if all the other avenues were shut off. Then pretty soon real estate prices would go soaring. Then controls might have to be exerted in those directions.

Then the money, always seeking an outlet, would surge back toward those things rationed or under price control. When the pressure became too strong, something would give. Black markets popping up all over the place would be part of the picture. the money out of circulation and into savings like war bonds would control it like putting it into a straight-jacket, the experts said.

We're truly grateful for this helpful attitude. Please minimize the inconvenience to you of such delays by taking an earlier train whenever you possibly can. At almost every station, heavy mails and express are the rule, rather than the exception, in these war days. Longer stops for loading and unloading create cumulative delays.
