Magic: Five Quarts Equals One
V
The magic of modern dairy industry makes it possible to shrink five
quarts of fluid milk into one quart of dried milk. Add water and dried
milk powder becomes fluid again. Dried milk is in great demand for
export to friendly nations abroad. It takes little space in the holds
of ships, stays sweet without refrigeration, and can be used as a sub-
stitute for fresh milk for children. The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture has placed dried milk high on the list of "defense foods" whose
increased production is sought during 1941 and '42.

WELL, customers, it 'peers th'
colleges an' high schools will
wake up in 1942 an' git busy on
sumthin' what has bin more an'
more neglected as th' yeers has
gone by in our educashunal sistem
in th' U. S. That's physical trainin'.
— ooooo —
What good is a eddycated brain
in a wreck o' a body ? What good is
it t' be able with yer brain t' think
an' figger out ways t' help mankind
an' then not have physical power t'
go out an' git th' job dune?
— ooooo —
Th' physical examinashuns fer th'
draft is showin' th' young fellers in
cities air a pretty puny outfit com-
pared with country boys. An' th'
high school an' college boys frum
th' smaller towns ain't no physical
giants.
— ooooo —
An', this is due t' th' lack o' a
real physical trainin' programmie
in our schools an' colleges. Shore,
th' colleges has had physical train-
in' an' required it but, it wus more
or less a joke. Go over an' swim in
a tank fer a half hour an' ya met
all requirements.
— ooooo —
Now, all o' a sudden we find we
is in a real war. We find th' Huns,
Japs an' others is cashin' in on their
health an' physical trainin' pro-
grammies they had fer yeers. So
now th' schools an' colleges must
git int' high geer an' put on a real
physical trainin' schedule fer both
gals an' boys an' ALL th' students.
Not jist football an' basketball
players.
— ooooo —
With automobiles in every home
folks walk very little t'day. Th'
cigaret ads tell th' ;als an' boys
how swell it is t' suck on a coffin
nail an' show picshures o' athletes,
race car drivers, test pilots, etc-.'tn
th' ads what git so much t' allow

'member th' picshure o' John Kim-
brough in th' ads with a cigaret in
his mouth. Well, Kimbrough DID
NOT smoke cigarets.
— ooooo —
One o' th' biggest helps schools
an' colleges kin give America right
now is t' see th* students git plinty
exercise an' fresh air. Organize
more sports gaims 'mong th' stu-
dents an' tell 'em in th' class rooms
what all doctors will tell 'em that
smokin' won't do 'em a dern bit o'
good an' mebbe so a lot o' harm.
— ooooo —
More then ever bizniss an' pro-
fessional men oter taik t' th' golf
courses, tennis courts or git 'em
one o' th' miny good home exer-
cisers on th' market. Volley ball
an' hand ball is fine exercise an'
a interestin' gaim.
— ooooo —
Yep, us Americans has kinda got
t' be softies th' last twinty-five
yeers an' spint too much time pla^-
in' cards an' lissenin' t' th' radio
whin we oter bin out ta'kin' sum
healthful exercise. No matter how
tuff we is we gotta git a little
tufTer.
— ooooo —
A lot o' time is wasted by th'
army in maikin' soldiers by jist
gittin' th' boys in shape t' walk a
couple o' miles without gittin' outta
breath. They has t' do this 'fore
they start teachin' 'em how t' shoot
an' be real soldiers.
— ooooo —
Th' schools an' colleges oter git
busy right NOW an' increase their
physical trainin' programmies so
whin th' time cums that th' boys
will have t' report—I hope they
never will—they'll be physically fit
t' becum soldiers.
— ooooo —
Toss away them cigarets an' git
out in th' fresh air an' taik sum
exercise.

The Rainbow—
By Will C. Hornsey
Those who saw the pretty rain-
bow, which God's established law
portrayed upon the front curtain
of the storm clouds underneath the
northeastern sky at 4:50 P. "M.,
Monday, December 22, 1041, wit-
nessed a most beautiful phenomena.
It was decidedly the prettiest rain
bow that I have ever seen in life.
I happened to be standing on the
front veranda of my home here and
saw the beginning of its formation.
It then suddenly gleamed an all its
radiant and majestic beauty.
As I then observed that marve-
lous rainbow, I thought of it in
many ways. From the surface of
the turbulent billows of the mighty
ocean, the atmosphere lifted the
moisture and through the agency
of the prevailing winds, this mois-
ture-laden air was drifted from
over the sea and the land to this
place in the sky where were form-
ed the Nimbus clouds.
Faraway in the sky—93,000,000
miles—is the sun whose beams dart
through space at the rate of 186,-
300 miles per second, reaching those
Nimbus clouds within 8 minutes
and 20 seconds. Here the sun-
Released National
Guard Men Are
Recalled to Duty
Adjutant General J. Watt Page
announced today that, with cer-
tain exceptions, all enlisted men of
the National Guard of the United
States are now in active Federal
Service will be called to active
duty during the period January 6,
through January 28th by order of
the Secretary of War.
The War Department directive
General Page pointed out, orders
the recall to active service in the
army of the United States of en-
listed men of all components, in-
cluding the Regular Army Reserve
the Enlisted Reserve Corps and the
National Guard of the United
States, and revokes a recent direc-
tive authorizing recall of those men
on an individual voluntary basis.
He said, in Texas approximately
1,800 National Guardsmen now now
in active Federal Service will be
affected by this order. Including
among these are men who have
been discharged from active ser-
vice during the past several months
(some because they were twenty-
eight or older, some because of de-
pendency, and some for other rea-
sons) and assigned to the State
Detachment under State control.
Active duty orders have today
been issued to all men eligible for
recall, instructing them to report
to the nearest district recruiting
office, in the same manner as an
applicant for enlistment, on speci-
fied dates during the period of
January 5th through January 28th.
Those who are accepted for recall
to active service will be sent to ap-
propriate Reception Centers. As-
signments will be in accordance
with the following general princi-
ples:
a. Only men qualified for full
military duty will be assigned to
the field forces.
b. Men who have had at least
three months' active Federal Ser-
vice during the two-year period im-
mediately prior to reporting for
duty will be dispatched direct from
reception centers to units or in-
stallations. All others will be sent
to replacement training centers.
c. Men will be assigned to the
branch of prior service and, where
practicable, to their former unit or
installation, if it is within the con-
tinental United States.
d. Men will be assigned to units
or installations in grade to be ab-
sorbed as vacancies occur.
With regard to deferment from
active service on this order, Gen-
eral Page said, Enlisted men who
are necessary to the maintenance
of the national health, safety or
interest and those key men essen-
tial to national defense, as defined
in the Selective Service Regula-
tion, will be deferred. Those who
claim dependency will be defer-
red only where the dependncy is es-
tablished beyond a reasonable.doubt
and is critical in nature.
In all questionable cases involv-
ing deferment, the confidential
opinion of the local board will be
obtained through the State Selec-
tive Service headquarters. In the
past local boards have determined
all questions of dependency defer-
ment with sympathetic regard for
the registrant and his dependents,
and any reasonable doubts have
been resolved in favor of defer-
ment. Now, since the declaration
of war, any reasonable doubts in
such cases will be resolved in fav-
or of the government.
Active duty orders will be ac-
companied by complete instruc-
tions for submitting requests for
deferment. These requests must
reach the office of the Eighth
|H>42
i later
Corps Area Commander n|
than January 12, 1942.
General Page explained th® the
date shown on the order to repn.,
has been fixed on the assumption \
that deferment will not be claimed.
If claim for deferment is entered
he said, the date to report for ac-
tive duty automatically changes to
January 28, 1942, unless, in the
meantime the individual received
definite instructions that his claim
for deferment has been approved.

beams penetrated those millions of
raindrops, each of which is a prism
which refracted, dispersed and re-
flected the sunbeams' component
colors: violet, indigo, blue, green,
yellow, orange and red co-mingled
to create the spectrum which mani
fested in sublime grandeur the
marvelous rainbow. As we saw it,
the bow was a semi-circle, but if
we could have mounted the cockpit
of the wonderful airplane and soar-
ed to a sublime height, we then
could have looked below the hori-
zon and saw the bow then as a per
feet circle.
It was indeed a unique time for
the rainbow. It was on December
22 when the sun had reached the
imit of its apparent southward
journey, which formed that rain-
bow farther to the west than it
had been probably in a million
years, and the sun was near the
horizon, thereby lifting the bow
high in the heavens. Yes, it was
a scene in Nature that we shall
never forget.
After the flood subsided 4,000
years ago, the first rainbow was
formed in the cloud and God spoke
of the bow then as follows: " I do
set my bow in the cloud, and it
shall be a token of a covenant be-
tween me and the earth. And the
waters shall no more become a
flood to destroy all flesh.
In the minds of the pioneers,
were the following thoughts rela-
tive to the rainbow:
A rainbow in the morning
Is the shepherd's warning;
A rainbow just before night
Is the shepherd's delight.
