patriotic way
SAHARA SHOWING
NOW AT PLAZA WITH
HUMPHREY BOGART
A mighty epic of war in the desert,
rilled with heart-stirring splendor and
dynamite trills, is showing here today
—SAHARA with Humphrey Bogart in
his portrayal of a two-fisted Yank tank
commander in the Libyian desert. His
performance on this is a sensational
follow-up to his memorable work in
Casablanca and Action in the North
Atlantic.
Bogart is Sergeant Gunn, a fearless
hard-hitting American fighter who finds
himself and his charge, the twenty-
eight-ton tank Lulubelle, stranded in
the treacherous wastes of the desert.
With him are only two of his buddies,
“Waco-’ Hoyt, tank mechanic, (Bruce
Benncit), and Jimmy Doyle, radio oper-
ator (Dan Duryea). Your heart will stir
at the shoulder-to-shoulder loyalty of
these three as they struggle to survive
the scorching sand and merciless sun
wiih a dwindling supply of rations and
just a few mouthfuls of water.
Their life and death struggle brings
the picture to a dramatic climax that is
breath-taking. You will never forget it.
And by the game token it will imprint
on your mind forever the valiant stand
made by the Allies during the stupen-
dous Libyan campaign.

to peel a potato?
If you are a regular listener each Tuesday and Friday to
our Home Economics Director, Albertine Berry, on WFAA
and KRLD, you know the patriotic way is NOT AT ALL. For
these Lone Star radio programs are packed with such food
and nutrition information.
If potatoes are peeled before cooking, much of their
food value is lost in the cooking process. In cooking pota-
toes, boil in covered utensil in just enough water to cover
them or bake in hot oven (450 degrees).
In cooking potatoes, or any other food on your gas
range, remember the range should have the best of care.
Today it can only be replaced under very rigid wartime
regulations. Our home economics department offers the
suggestions below:
Do not put wet dishes directly on the enamel. (This
enamel is glass.) Protect top with asbestos mats.
★ ★ ★
Wipe off spilled foods ot once, with dry cloth.
Loter when range is cool, clean with damp cloth.
★ ★ ★
To clean top burners of aluminum or enamel, use
mild soapsuds; rinse and dry. (Do not boil in soda
solution.)
★ ★ ★
To clean broiler grill, let cool before washing with
soapsuds; use fine steel wool. (Remove grill and
C A RE
for yewr fas range
pan from the range, as soon as food is token off.)
Whenever possible, use only a moderate heot for
broiling, and you v/ill find the broiler easier to
clean. (Many foods broil well with a moderate
heat.)
★ ★ ★
The oven-lining v/ill lost longer, if you roast meats
at low temperatures (250° to 325°). It makes
better tasting meat, besides, and also cuts down
grease-spatter on oven-walls.
★ ★ ★
To clean up spill-overs on oven-floor, let cool, and
then use a fine steel wool.

TJOR better or worse... they’ll serve you faith-
fully and well if you but give them the little care
they need to keep in trim for continued wartime
duty. Here are a few hints to help you keep them
working for the duration of the war:
>♦
f
• KEEP THEM SERVICED ... Oil them regu-
larly as prescribed by the manufacturer; keep
them properly adjusted, and when repairs are
needed ... take them to a competent repair-
man.
• KEEP THEM CLEAN... Keep surface clean
with damp cloth to prevent rust. Do not dip
motors and heating appliances in water. Wash
lamp bulbs and reflector bowls of lighting fix-
tures and lamps regularly to assure maximum
efficiency of lighting.
• KEEP THEM IN USE ... They are youir most
dependable wartime helpers... will give you
more time for the "thousand-and-one” things
women are being called upon to do to help
win the war. fc
