“Can’t Punch Way
Out of Wet Paper
Bag,” Says Gen.
—
NEW YORK. — </P)— Lt. Gen.
George E. Stratemeyer, Chief of
the Army’s Air Defense Com
mand, asserts that “figuratively
speaking” the Army Air Force
“right now, couldn’t punch it’s
way out of a wet paper bag.”
“If the Army Air Forces were
called upon to do so at short no
tice,” he told the Aviation Writ
ers’ Association, “It would be dif
ficult for it to put up a single com
plete fighter group and a single
B-29 group, as we knew them on ■
V-J Day, into full operative con
dition in an emergency.”
He declared that although the
United States “practically threw
away it’s infant air force in 1919
through it’s “ignorance” of it’s
potential might, the country today
was “in far more precarious pos
ition.”
He ascribed what he called the
“appalling” state of the nation’s
air defense both to the AAF’s
demobilization from a V-J Day
strength of 2,253,000 men to 485,
000 on May 1, and to cut-backs
in aircraft production.
Stratemeyer asked if there was
“one American in 50,000, who
knows that in this, the first year
of peace, the Navy is getting mil
lions of dollars more than the
Air Force, to buy hundreds more
planes than are being allowed the
Air Force?”
r Did you know that man has been
nourished on bread since pre-,
historic days? Excavators found
cakes of baked dough in caves of
the Stone Age —a far cry from
the crusty, golden loaf wrapped in
waxed paper which we enjoy today
— but it was bread just the same, ,
And Egyptians are known to have*
baked bread from light floor 5,000
years ago in the form of small'
rolls, about the sise and shape of!
buns we now buy.
Today, with the government urg-j
big us to save precious wheat for
shipment to the starving European1
nations, we are learning of many
new kinds of breed — ell of which
require leas flour—or uee a wheat
subetitvte. I enjoy baking a loaf
of my own bread once in a while —
and the other day in support of
UNRRA’s plea to usa wheat-sub
stitutes, I baked a loaf made off
oatmeal. It was delicious, and my;
family enjoyed it a graat deal! |
And to keep my home-msdej
i breed fresh end tasty — I followed
! the example of my baker. 1i
i wrapped my loaf in several (avers {
of waxed paper folding it tightly!
at the corners, and tied It with a
string. It’s really amasing hovj
much fresher bread will stay if
wrapped carefully. And by taking
this precaution to protect the
freshness of bread —and all other
foods —we can save money for
ourselves —and release food for
the millions of people who ar#
actually starving in Europe!
