...this staff-aptly self-named the "Human Guinea Pig Club"-is served the Army's strangest noon mess (every day except Sunday). They may get anything from tomato bread and soybean sausages to eleven-year-old beef. Usually the fare is good, sometimes it is gagging; but good or bad, it is never just ration spinach and to hell with it. Due to these luncheon tests and the field trials a number of changes in Ration K have been made since it was first stowed in a knapsack late last year. Recent innovations: cheese for meat in the supper...

At Swan Lake, for lack of regular tackle a Signal Corps man made a line from telephone wires, hammered a fishing spoon out of a tin can and brought in strings of fat trout over the side of an assault boat. Others knock the heads off the foolish spruce partridge (Yukon chicken...
...must seek the approval from the Secretary of Agriculture for every limitation it plans in that field. At present farm prices cannot be touched until they reach one hundred ten per cent parity. So far this obstacle has tied OPA's hands so tightly that, although beef, cattle, and lamb are now selling at better than one hundred twenty per cent parity, Henderson has not been able to touch them. Faced with the greatest inflation threat in our history, the Administration still confronts a stone wall in the Department of Agriculture, which holds that prices must go still higher...
