Demobilization
Set for 31st
December, 1947
WNU Features.
USO will continue through
1946 and until the last day in
1947, when it will complete its war
time, demobilization and reconver
sion services December 31, 1947.
Official announcement that USO
will conduct its own fund-raising
campaign next September and Octo
ber with f goal to cover minimum
service requirements through 1947
was made by President Lindsley
F. Kimball at USO New York head
quarters.
USO came into being on Febru
ary 4, 1941, when six member agen
cies joined hands to create one or
ganization to care for the needs of
the men and women of the armed
forces. So far the American public
has contributed 200 million dollars
to the organization.
Still Needed, Says Ike.
In a message to President Kimball,
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower stated:
“May I earnestly count on your
organization and your host of volun
teers to stay with us through the
dangerous and difficult period of
transition to final peace?
“We still have a pressing need
for the services of USO and will be
deeply grateful for your continued
help in the future as in the past.”
Fleet Adm. Chester W. Nimitz,
chief of naval operations, also sent
a message of congratulation.
For Wounded Veterans.
The need for raising a terminal
fund in the fall of 1946 is due to the
fact that the National War fund
•./ill finance USO only through 1946.
Tentative, purely tentative, plans
for 1947 call for the operation of
some 350 to 400 USO clubs in the
continental United States, largely in
connection with hospitalized but
convalescent veterans. Operation of
station lounges for troops-in-transit,
men on leave, and families of serv
ice people must continue. Overseas
clubs will carry on in Alaska, Canal
zone, Hawaii, Philippines, etc.
Camp shows will still be seen and
neard in 1947 by men in hospitals
and men overseas.
Coincident with the announce
ment of the USO fall campaign,
Presiaent Kimball made public his
annual report, in which he says:
“USO finds that at its peak of
activity, it was serving 1,000,000
people a day in one capacity or an
other, running up to more than 1,100,-
000,000 the total served since the
organization was created.
3,035 Units at Peak.
“The number of operations, such
as clubs, lounges and similar activi
ties, reached a high point back in
March of 1944, a total of 3,035. As
training camps closed and the men
went overseas this number declined
but the over-all volume of work in
creased.
“The five-year peak of activity
and cost came after peace in Eu
rope and before the surrender of
Japan. Redeployment of troops re
opened many camps, doubled or
vastly increased loads of various
seaport cities. . . . Expenditures
climbed to $5,800,000 a month.”
New Postwar Problems.
Referring to the future of USO,
Mr. Kimball says in his report:
“The successful conclusion of the
war does not, cannot, and will not
return the United States to its pre
war status. ... It is clear even
now that our armed forces in the
postwar period must be numbered
in the millions.
“USO will complete its wartime,
demobilization and reconversion
services December 31, 1947.”
VX/RITTEN by pupil delegates at
’ ’ a meeting of the national
executive council of the Future
Homemakers of America in Chi
cago in the summer of 1945, the
foregoing creed dramatizes the
broad objectives of a booming high
school home economics club al
ready numbering over 200,000 mem
bers in 45 states and Hawaii and
Puerto Rico.
High school home economics clubs
are not a new idea but the Future
Homemakers movement represents
ADVISER . . . Dr. Hazel Frost
is national adviser of £he Future
Homemakers of America.
the first effort to co-ordinate all such
activity in a central organization.
Under the stimulus provided by
home economics sections in state
departments of education, the
American Home Economics associ
ation, and home economics schools
and departments in colleges, in
dependent units have thrived for 15
years, with recognition of the un
limited possibilities offered for
learning and teaching.
Designed to stimulate interest in
home eo jmics and integrate high
school activities with organization
work, the Future Homemakers
movement evolved from plans
drawn by the American home eco
nomics association and the home
economics service of the U. S. of
fice of education in 1944. Within
a few months, it was accepted by
the state departments of education
and vocational education and the
state home economics associations
of a majority of states, including
Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
‘Toward New Horizons.’
When the pupil delegates of the
Future Homemakers met in Chi
cago last summer they were fully
prepared fo” formal organization of
their club. Besides writing their
creed and constitution, they devel
oped policies and procedures, drew
a work program for the year, de
cided upon red and white for their
colors, the red rose for their flow
er, and an octagonal emblem. Fit
tingly, they chose “Toward New
Horizons” for their motto.
National in scope, the Future
Homemakers are broken down into
regional districts, with state and lo
cal chapters.
Presently, Myrtle Hilton of Tip-
tonville, Term., is president; Anita
Lehman of Baton Rouge, La., is
vice president; Emma Jo Lewis of
De Land, Fla., is recreation chair
man; Joan Du Plessis of Swamps-
cott, Mass., is secretary; Barbara
Ann Boggs of Sutton, W. Va., is vice
president and Marie Bresnan of
East Haven, Conn., is national proj
ect chairman.
Other officers include Irene Trout
of Milwaukie, Ore., treasurer; Bar
bara Parker of Carson City, Nev.,
vice president; Margaret Worlton
of Lehi, Utah, public relations;
Phyllis Marshall of Vermont, 111.,
parliamentarian; Deania Burnworth
of Independent > Kans., vice presi
dent, and Lois, K. Mueller of
Seymour, Wis., historian.
Wide Latitude Allowed.
While the pupil members of the
Future Homemakers are permitted
the widest latitude in the formula
tion and development of their pro
grams, they are assisted by experi
enced advisers, including Edna
Amidon, chief of the home eco-
nomics service of the U. S. office
of education; Mrs. Dora S. Lewis of
the executive Board of the Ameri
can Homemakers association;
Emily Haydock of the National Edu
cation association, and Dr. Hazel
Frost.
Successful in developing a home
economics club in Oklahoma sev
eral years ago. Dr. Frost, as na
tional adviser of the Future Home
makers, has been largely credited
with the phenomenal growth of the
new movement. In assuming her
position with the Future Home
makers in 1944, Dr. Frost applied
the same principles she employed in
Oklahoma in making the new or
ganization a close working partner
of home economics classes.
Though mostly composed of girls,
the Future Homemakers also ad
mit boys to membership.

Highlights off USO Five-Year Record
A brief summary of USO’s ac
complishments during its first five
years of service to men and women
in uniform all over the world in
clude the following highlights:
At peak, USO was serving one
million men a day.
During the five years (Febru
ary 4, 1941 to February 4, 1945)
total of 1,100,000,000 served.
At peak there were 30,035
USO operations.
Peak expenditures were $5,-
800,000 a month.
Peak overseas units totalled

Nineteen and one-half million
individual services performed
by 131 USO-Travelers Aid units.
At the height of activities 700
USO shows were given daily
overseas and in the United
States, by m're than 4,900 en
tertainers.
June, 1943, was the numerical
peak of volunteers — 739,000
of them working that month.
They worked a total of 165

Get Your Vitamins
Summer months with their wealth
of vegetables give you a chance to
put away those pills and remedies
you've been rely
ing on to keep
going during the
winter. You’re
especially lucky
l if you have your
_ own vegetable
garden because
then you can
gather the vegetables and cook
them immediately, without undue
loss of precious vitamins and min
erals.
Take a tip from the Chinese when
you cook vegetables. Use only a
small amount of water when cook
ing, and don’t overcook. You’ll save
color, flavor, and nutritious quali
ties.
Just in case you have a family
that needs coaxing and wheedling
and conniving when it comes to eat
ing vegetables, take a look through
the recipes given today if you want
to serve them something that
doesn’t need a sales talk.
Don’t forget that you should have
two or three good sized servings of
these yellow and green vegetables
to maintain good health. It’s better
still if you serve them fresh, be
cause they are then at their tasty
best, and there’s been no loss of
valuable nutrients in cooking.
Shiny eggplant is really delicious
when baked, one of the methods pre
ferred in vegetable cookery. Have
an oven dinner when you prepare it
this way:
Baked Crumbed Eggplant.
(Serves 6)
Ui-pound eggplant
4 tablespoons flour
lYa teaspoons salt
% teaspoon pepper
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
34 cup fine bread or cracker
crumbs
34 cup water
34 cup drippings
Cut eggplant into 34 inch slices.
Peel, if desired. Dredge with flour
mixed with salt
and pepper. Dip
in slightly beaten
egg (which has
been mixed with
2 tablespoons
water) and then
in crumbs. Place
in casserole in overlapping slices.
Add 34 cup water and bake in a mod
erately slow (325-degree) oven for
1 hour. Before serving, pour melt
ed drippings over eggplant.
Scalloped Zucchini Squash.
(Serves 6)
134 pounds zucchini squash
34 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter or substitute
2 tablespoons flour
134 cups milk
1 teaspoon minced onion
34 cup grated cheese
34 cup soft bread crumbs
Lynn Says:
Why Eat Vegetables? Two
servings of leafy and green
vegetables plus one or more
servings of potatoes are nec
essary in the diet because they
contribute vitamins, minerals
and roughage to the diet.
For vitamins A, B1 (thiamin),
B2 or G (rboflavin) and C (as
corbic acid) and the minerals—
calcium, phosphorous and iron,
vegetables are good sources.
For vitamin A, calcium, phos
phorous and iron, eat kale, spin
ach, greens and carrots.
For vitamin C, get plenty of
the following: chicory, escarole,
dandelion greens, lettuce, ro-
maine, watercress, cabbage,
carrots, celery, parsley, peppers,
radishes, scallions, tomatoes and
turnips.
Eat green leafy vegetables raw,
in salad form, whenever possi
ble, as vitamin C is easily de
stroyed by cooking.

Succeeding Governors
All states provide in their con
stitutions for succession in case
of a vacancy in the governor’s
office, says Collier’s. While 44
states name one, two or three
public officeholders in line of suc
cession, two states—Alabama and
Washington — name as many as
seven.
Yet surveys show that, on the
average, a state is not likely to
lose more than one out of ten gov
