George C. Kenney, in command of American Air Forces in the South-
west Pacific, directed one of the most decisive operations of the war
in the crushing defeat of a22 -ship Japanese convoy off the coast of
New Guinea. Lieut. Gen. Henry H. Arnold, commanding general,
Army Air Forces, in a statement said: "In attacking and eliminating
the enemy where he was most vulnerable and before he had time
to get set, Gen. Kenney utilized the striking power of his air force
to the fullest advantage. The bomber crews and fighter pilots who
disregarded bad weather and comparatively close enemy air bases
carried out their missions in the highest traditions of the Air Forces.
Gen. Kenney is a native of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. He attended
Massachusetts Institute of Technology and at the outbreak of the
World War enlisted as a flying cadet. He entered the front line
service early in 1918. He was awarded the Distinguished Service
Cross for extraordinary heroism in action against superior enemy
forces near Jametz, France. He also was awarded the Silver Star
for bravery. After the war he was commissioned in the regular Army
and seved through all the grades. He was given connnand of Allied
Air Forces in the Southwest Pacific in September 1942.
Modern Etiquette
By Roberta Lee
1. If one were introducing a
woman to the president or ruler
of some country, shouldn't she be
presented to him?
2. When a man and a girl are
dancing, and another man wishes
to "cut in," is it permissible for
either - the girl or her partner to
refuse?
3. Would five cents be suffici-
ent to tip for a fifty -cent meal?
4. What is the proper way to
use a finger bowl?
5. Is it necessary for a week.
end guest to arrive exactly at the
time spc.ified by the hostess?
6. Is it good form for a person
to talk at length about his health?
Answers
1. Yes; in such a case, the
woman is presented to the man.
2. It is extremely rude tc do so,
and very embarrassing to the
other man. 3. No. Ten per cent
is all right when the amount is
more than a dollar, but ten cents
is considered the minimum tip for
a meal. Otherwise, it is better
not to give any. 4. Dip the fin-
gers of one hand at a time, not
both together, into the water;
then lry them with the napkin
on the knees. 5. Yes. He should
be neither early nor late in his
arrival. 6. No. This is very
tiresome to the persons who must
listen and show interest.
Modern China began when Sun
Yat Sen in 1911 overthrew the
last Manchu emperor.

WIIAT SCIENCE
I5 DOING
SNOW ON FARMS
Snow on the ground now means
bread and milk on the table be-
fore next winter's snow begins to
fall, says Science Service. For
winter wheat and other fall -sown
grains depend on snow now for
protection against the cold and
drying winds of winter, and they
will depend on the water from the
thaw for most of their growth in
spring. If they get a good start
on that in late March and during
April, a very little rain in May
will suffice to make the crop that
will be harvested in. July. Simil-
arly, snow makes the early hay
crop and the spring pastures, on
which our milk supply depends to
a large extent.
Snow is a major source of the
water that few of us ever even
think about, except weather men
and agricultural scientists; what
is known as subsoil water. This
is the moisture well below plow
level, an which trees and bushes
depend, and the deeper -reaching
roots of maturing crops. Corn
roots, for example, go down from
three to five feet; alfalfa roots
as much as 20. And it is this
moisture reserve that they depend
on.
Water that trickles down
through partly melted snow dur-
ing occasional winter warm spells
is an especially good means for
replenishing this deeper deposit
on which crops may draw latex
on. Such melt -water cannot run
off very well; there is nowhere
for it to go but down.
How much water it takes to
make a bumper crop is vividly
brought out in a calculation of-
fered by J. B. Kincer, of the U. S.
Weather Bureau. Comparing the
excess of water that fell in the
abundant crop year of 1942 with
the scanty fall during the desper-
ate drought of :1,934, he said:
"If it were possible to load this
excess water on super-traine of
100 tank cars, each carrying 100
tons of water, and transport them
over a super -railroad at the rate
of two trains a minute around the
clock without missing a .single
schedule, it would require more
than 100 years to complete the
shipment."... _..

The latest M-4 and M-5 Ameri-

ful as a means of removing
wounded, but as an exit for unin-
jured crew members in case the
armored machine is overturned
during combat. --�

He'd waited patiently at the
post office counter for many min-

versed,
"Her evening cloak was a won-

lamb edged with fox fur, and wide
sleeves of printed Oriental satin."
Then the worm turned. Rap-
ping on the counter, the customer
said:
"I wonder if you could provide

"It's a bottle of hair

"Oh, that's very nice of"

"Yes, I want -you to give
it to your typist at the office;
her hair is coming out rather
badly on your coat."
The thrifty wife had persuaded
her husband to buy a small cask
of beer instead of going each eve-
ning to the local pub.
When he had drunk the first
glass his wife said, "Now, John,
lad, you can reckon you've saved
a penny."
"You're right, lass," replied
John. "I'll draw another one and
snake it twopence we've saved. At
this rate I'll soon be able to buy
thee a fur coat."

Weight Per Basket
Of Various Fruits
Table of Weights Helps To
Salve Canning Problem
Many housewives who propose
to can considerable fruit this year
have informed local Ration
Boards that their task of comput-
ing the necessary amount of sugar
required would be 'simplified if
they knew the number of pounds
per basket of the various fruits.
They paint out, for example, that
if they "do down" an eleven -
quart basket of cherries, the Ra-
tion Administration of the War-
time Prices and Trade Board will
allow them a half a• pound of
sugar for each pound of fruit.
Therefore, the question is "what
is the weight of an eleven -quart
basket of cherries?"
* *
P. W. Hodgetts, Director of the
Fruit Branch, Ontario Depart-
pient of Agriculture, in providing
the required answers for Ontario
fruits, stresses that the weights
given below are average rather
than definite and may vary with
varieties, size of fruit, height of
larger fruits in the basket, etc.
However, the information, it is
believed, will be of considerable
value to housewives who must fill
in their application blanks for
canning sugar (found in their
new ration book) and forward to
their nearest Local Ration Board
not later than April 15.
* * *
Here are the average weights
of fruits per basket: Strawberries,
quart, 20 ounces; raspberries,

Britain's "Make Do
Arid Mend" Drive
"1 myself have sworn a solemn
oath not to buy a new suit of
clothes as long as the war lasts,"
declared Hugh Dalton, president of
the Board of Trade, In opening a
"Count -Your -Coupons" Exhibition
at Charing Cross, London.
"We must all wear the clothes
we already possess and go on
wearing them until they simply
cannot be worn any longer," he
said, "More darns in your socks
mean more bombs an Germany."
Demonstrating his idea was the
central. feature of the exhibition -
a huge hand holding one clothing
eoupon, with the following words
beneath it:
"One coupons saved by every-
one would release 8,000 workers
and 5,000 tons of raw material,
which ivottbtl niai.o l?' I.r;•'fl field
tlniftll•1ti:'•. Q1' e10!110 f!r:1r.',l - !s
from head to foot, i, t
coat and shoes."
The exhibition, organized by the
Board, of Trade, is being re,
ed in in 34 stores in other t.t'itish
cities, and a smaller version is
being shown in 350 factork,s. it is
part of the Board of Trade's "Make
Do and Mend" Campaign, launched
last fall to make the public con-
scious of the last thread of value
to be gained from old clothes,
The Robinson Family
The exhibition does this fob
with a picture story of the "Rob-
inson" family -father, mother, two
girls and two boys. They are think-
ing of buying new clothes, but the
mother says she will manage all
their coupons and will l,00"k
through their old clothes first to
see what can be patched or re-
novated.
Instead of buying a slip, the
mother makes one from an old
summer dress. Another dress be-
comes a new blouse, while an old
winter coat is made into a skirt.
The top of an old dress and an
old skirt make a new spring dress.
Father's trousers out down make
a pair for the younger boy; and the
little girl gets a sleeping suit out
of at. old pair of his pyjamas. She
also gets a coat and hat made
from an old flannel jacket which
her older brother has outgrown.
