The Army’s 2d Engineer Special Brigade, the pioneer amphibious unit last reported in the Philip pines, has made more than two dozen landings in the Pacific. Michigan Mirror (Continued from Page 10) proportion of rejections were seven out of ten. All of this in a country where a government had paid farmers not to produce com, wheat and cotton and had even killed pigs! • • o Undernourishment in a land that had resorted to an economy of scarcity was obviously an indict ment not to be easily set aside. Hence the advent of the "basic seven” program of modem nutri tion, blessed by the federal gov ernment, enthusiastically pushed by extension divisions or educational institutions like Michigan State College, and generally acknowl edged by the medical profession. And here it is on a daily minimum. Milk—Adults: Two or three cups daily. Children: Three or four cups daily. Fruits and vegetables—Five serv ings daily Including a green or yel low vegetable and potatoes, toma toes, citrus or other fresh fruit or raw cabbage. Protein foods—Two servings daily selected from products such as lean meat, fish, eggs, cheese, beans, nuts. Whole grain—One or more serv ings daily of whole grain cereal such as oat meal, and also whole grain bread. Use enriched flour in place of plain white flour. Butter or margarine Two or more pats daily. Fish-liver oil —One teaspoon for children each day. Water—Drink six to eight glasses daily. • • • “NOW WHAT HAS ALL THIS got to do with brewer's yeast,'’ you inquire. It is the private belief of Dr. De- Kleine, and hence not officially preached by the state department of health, that brewer’s yeast pos sesses qualities that are effective in reduction of high blood pressure and in aiding the digestive system. Brewer’s yeast, PLUS the above I nutrition diet, would greatly im | prove the health of the average cit izen, especially an individual 40 | years or more of age, in the opin ion of Dr. DeKleine. The state com missioner hopes manufacturers will reduce the price of this product, which is available in powder form ' and in tablets, to permit its use by the public. And incidentally, the name ‘brewer's yeast” has nothing to do with a brewery; it has be come a standard name for a pro duct generally sold by drug stores everywhere. Where people oonsume a high amount of energy foods milk, meat, cheese, whole grains, butter, fruits and vegetbales—the land re sources are improved. Governor Thomas Dewey recently declared this to be a paradox. “Where there is a good diet, that means there is a large livestock population eating grain,* contribut ing eggs, milk and meat,” he said May 15. “The fertility of soil is not only preserved by livestock, but ani mals increase it. The fact is that good food for the people and good farming go hand in hand.” You will notice that the adult food diet, other than brewer s yeast, does not include the drug-store vitamin pills. Dr. DeKleine believes this is nature’s way of building health—a sufficiency of the right kind of food.

AT CAHALAN DRUG STORES Ernie Pyle (Continued from Page lOf It was early morning and the air was good. The temperature was perfect. The country was pretty. We all felt that sense of ease when you know nothing very bad Is ahead of you. There is no weight on your spirit. Some of the boys were even smoking cigars. Funny Sights In Moving Column There are always funny sights in a column of soldiers moving along. Our mortar platoon had commandeered a doten local horses to carry heavy pieces. One of the marines had tied the pack onto his horse with a Japanese obi-one of those brightly colored reams of sash Japanese women bear on their backs. And here came this marine, dirty and unshaven, leading a sorrel horse with a big bowtie of black and white silk, three feet wide, tied across it chest and another similar one tied under its belly, the ends standing out on both sides. Troops carry the oddest things when they move. One marine had a Jap photo album in his hand. One had a wicker basket. Another had a lacquered serving tray. They even had a Columbia phonograph with Jap records, strapped onto a horse. Lots of them wore Japanese in signia or pieces of uniform. Later an order came out that any marine caught wearing Jap clothing would be put on burial detail. I guess that was to keep marines from shooting each other by mistake. • • • There were frequent holdups ahead of us and we would stop and sit down every hundred yards or so. One marine commenting on the slow progress said: “Sometimes we take off like a ruptured duck, and other times we just creep along." The word was passed down the line, “Keep your eyes open for planes." About every sixth man would turn his head and repeat it and the word was sent back along the column like a wave. Ex cept toward the rear they made it comical— “ Keep your eyes open for planes —keep your eyes open for cabbages —keep your eyes open for Geisha girls." We were walking almost on each other's heels, a solid double line of marines. My friend. Bird Dog Clay ton, was behind me. He said, “A column like this would be a Jap pilot's delight." • • • Men Chilled On Okinawa 'Love Day* LCVP in which I rode shore ward on Love Day morning at Oki nawa was so crowded the men just stood against each other. I knew most of them for they were all from the ship that brought us up. They had been riding for an hour before they picked us up off the control boat and they were soaked to the skin from the spray. The morning was warm and sun shiny, yet they had all gotten very cold Just from being wet. Some of them got the cbld shakes and couldn’t stop. They Joked with each other about quaking with fear, in stead or cold. We all smiled sort of sickly like. We talked most of the way, but I can’t remember much of what we said. We were all sort of tensed up inside. LETTER BOX Editor, News-Herald Wyandotte, Michigan. Dear Sir: As State Senator, I heard Secre tary of State Bryan disclose the secrets of Japanese diplomacy. With this insight therein, may I offer this suggestion: We are absorbed in European happenings. The real menace is the Japanese by-passed in the Pacific. The Europe end of the Axis has surrendered unconditionally. Statesmen discuss how to prevent World War 111. Just how to stop anew youth movement is the prob lem. But the Japanese right under our very noses are gearing up World War 111. We forget it was the Japs, not the Germans, that set the stage for World War 11. When they took Manchuria before a peace-loving league of nations. Hitler made a pass at Austria. Mussolini tele phoned him to lay off. But the ghost of Ceasar was working, and Mussolini started his legions to slaughter the poor Ethiopians. The powers could be bluffed again, so Hitler tried it. Cxecho-Slovakia was violated, then Poland, and World War n was on. But it was the polite “scuse please" Japanese that set the stage. Now with the same peacetime ve neer, half a million by-passed Japs in the Pacific islands are making ready for World War HL Respectfully, E. E.
