Our government knows that city women have done an outstasuding job saving used fats— but, now that you town and farm women have rolled up your sléeves, you are providing more used fats per kitchen than any other group in the U. S. Keep it up! 100,000,000 more pounds of used fats are needed this year to help make vital war supplies. Without your record savings, we'll never make that quota. Save every drop! Remember, it’s the small amounts that fill the salvage can faster. Drippings, skimmings, scrapings, and fat scraps melted down. Your butcher will give you 2 red points and up to 4¢ a pound.

I am civil afiairs officer of Adano.”’ “Please help me, Mister Major. Not knowing is worse than having him dead.” “A hundred people come in my office every day asking me this. I tell you it is none of my business. The war is still going on, can’t you understand that? We have a campaign to fight. We can’t just stop in the middle of battle and open up a question-and-answer service for forlorn lovers.’’ “Oh don’t, Mister Major, don’t. You had been so nice to me. I thought—”’ “Is this why you were cordial to me? Is this why you sent your fa-’ ther to invite me to your house? So that I cotild track down your .lover?”’ Major Joppolo stood up. ‘I’m sorry that you have a mistaken idea of how I work. If you have business t6 do with me, do not invite me to your home and feed me candy. Come to my office. I will give you equal treatment. with all the others.”’ And he turned and went into the living room, where Captain Purvis was Shaping a heart with his two thumbs and forefingers and then pointing first at himself, then at Francesca. “Tm going home, Captain.” “What for?’’ “Oh, I’m fed up with this, I’m going home.” ‘Well, you’ll excuse me if I don’t come. I never thought I’d ever get anywhere talking with my fingers, but this isn’t bad. See you tomorrow, Major.”’ The Major left. Captain Purvis tried to pick up where he left off, but pretty soon Tina came in with tears in her eyes and told Francesca in Italian what had happened, and! Rosa came in and asked where the Major was, and Tomasino came back from putting the little ones’ to bed, and Captain Purvis got up and left too. Later Major Joppolo was angry with himself for his childish petulance wit Tina. He told himself that he had no right to expect anything else. He reminded himself that he had done a little talking the first evening about his wife, and Tina hadn't flown off the way he: did. But he couldn’t bring himself to apologize to her, and for several days and nights he did ndt see her. He had no way of knowing that Tina was just as. lonely as he was, and he did not realize that female loneliness ‘sometimes takes exactly the same forms as male loneliness. Corporal Chuck Schultz of the M.P.’s used to talk a lot about how much he hated red wine, but it nevertheless had a certain fascination for him. Chuck’s two best friends, Bill and Polack, also found the stuff interesting. The three of them drank it together quite often. They used to buy it from Carmelina, the wife of the lazy Fatta, for a dollar a bottle. One night they bought three bottles for three dollars, and then they went to their billets to drink it. It is very rare for an M.P. to drink anything, even vino, to excess, but Corporal Chuck Schultz was a rare M.P. His two friends, Bill and Polack, were in the Engineer Battalion which was working around. Adano. They were billeted in the same house with Chuck and some other M.P.’s. Chuck and Bill and Polack did not drink vino in order to savor it on their tongues. They did not drink it to compare it with other wines which they had had on other occasions. They did not drink it to complement food. They drank it to get drunk. 2 Therefore it was not surprising that on the night when they bought three bottles for three dollars, they began quite early in the evening to tell dirty jokes, then sang some songs, then argued a_ little, then got restless and decided to go for a walk. Nor was it surprising that the walk was rather noisy. It was really not surprising, either, that when they found that their walk was not taking them anywhere except round and round the same block, they should have decided to go back to their billet. This was not surprising, but it was the thing which got _ them in trouble. If they had stayed in their billet and not gone for a walk, they would have been all right. So would they if they had not gone home to their billet so soon, but had walked until their drunkenness dulled: their vision and blurred their keenness. But doing what they did got them in trouble. Here is why: On the way home, Chuck Schultz said: ‘‘Hell of a war.’’ Polack said: ‘Smatter, you gonna get sick again?” Chuck said: ‘‘Oh, no, I feel good. It’s jus’ hell of a war.’’ Polack said: ‘‘Prove it.” Bill said, for the ninetieth time that night: ‘“‘Uno due tre quattro cinque.”’ Polack said: ‘‘Shup, Bill. Prove it’s hell of a war, Chuck.” Chuck, Chuck said: ‘‘Joppolo, that’s fel. low.”’ . *Polack said: ‘‘What about him? . What’s he gotta do with it?” Bill said: ‘‘Cinque cinque cinque cinque. cinque.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘He never gets drunk, never, never gets drunk. . But he’s good fella.” Polack said: ‘‘Oh, he’s wonderful fella.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘He’s bes’ fella whole invasion.”’ Polack said: ‘‘Oh; he’s better’n . that. He’s perfec’.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘No, he ain’’ per. fect. He don’t drink. But he’s good. Oh, he’s good’s hell. These wops, . they think he’s perfect. He’s bes’ . thing ever happened to this town.”’ . Polack said: ‘‘What’s ’at prove?) Prove it’s hell of a war. Don’t} change a subjec’.”’ : . Bill said: ‘‘Una due tre una due . tre.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘Shut up your counting, Bill. Ill prove’ it’s hell of a war. It’s all ’cause of the Major.” Polack said: ‘‘How’s he prove anything if he don’t drink?’’ Chuck said: ‘‘Here’s how he proves everything. -He’s bes’: thing ever happened to this town, but he’s gonna get kicked. Now is that any kind of a war?”’ Polack said: :‘‘Who’s gonna kick him? Show me the stiff who’s gonna kick -him.”’ Chuck said: ‘General Marvin’s gonna kick him, that’s who!”’ Polack said: ‘‘Oh, he kicks everybody, I don't see nothin’ special about that.’ Chuck said: ‘‘Yeah, but look, Polack, here you got a guy who’s best thing ever happened to this town, I mean he unnerstands these people, i . . “Not knowing is worse than having Sean. him dead.” , and that old General Marvin he’s gonna bust him down to Corporal, just like me. Now what kind of a war is that?” Bill said: ‘‘Cinque quattro tre due uno. Backwards. Cinque quattro tre due uno.’”’ Polack grew suspicious. He said: “How you know? Does the old general tell you who he’s gonna bust and who he’s not?” Chuck said: ‘‘I seen the paper.” Polack said: ‘‘Bustin’ him?’’ Chuck said: ‘‘No, the paper ’at’s goin’ to get him busted. Trapani and me, we tried to hide it, but the Cap’n found it. It’s sure goin’ to get the Major busted when old pieface sees it.’’ Polack said: ‘‘Jeez, can you imagine a war like that?’’ Chuck said: ‘‘Hell of a war.’’ Polack said: ‘Chuck, you proved it to me. Hell of a war.” Bill said: ‘I like cinque best. Cinque cinque. cinqué.’’ . Chuck said: ‘Rotten dirty stinkin’ unfair lousy war.”’ Polack said: ‘Hell of a war, you take and ruin the bes’ man you got.”’ ! Chuck said: “I like that Major, he’s honest. I don’t want for him to be busted like that.’’ Polack said: “I ain’t never seen this Major, but if you say he’s the best. Major you ever seen, I’ll take your word for it and I think it’s a unfair war myself for bustin’ him.” Chuck said: ‘‘You know, we ought to do somethin’ for that Major. ‘Polack, we ought to do somethin’ for Bir 24 Polack said: ‘‘You said me a mouthful, Chuck. We sure ought to.’’ Chuck said: ‘‘What could we do, Polack?. Somethin’» good. He deserves it, somethin’ good.”’ Polack said: ‘‘What could we do, Chuck? You’re a Corporal, and Bill and me, we’re just P.F.C.’s. What could we do?”’ Chuck said: Polack said: You thinkin’?”’ Chuck said: got a thing.” Bill said: ‘‘Uno due tre. We ought” to give the guy a goin’-away pres’ent if he’s all that good.” Chuck said: ‘First sensible. thing ‘‘Let’s think.’’ “Okay. palo. ‘Yeah, but I ain’t re + 2 BR Go Se aoe aa er os — — ee a ent, it’s got to be good, if it’s for Polack said: “It was Bill’s idea. What’ll we give him, Bill?” Bill said grandly: ‘‘Uno due tre quattro cingue.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘He’s no good, iiim and is numbers. of something, Polack, we got to.”’ Polack said; ‘‘Let’s go back and . get those bottles. Maybe they’d help . us think of something.’ . Chuck said: ‘‘That’s hard, to think of somethin’ good enough for that . Major.”’ . Polack said: ‘I canythink of a lot of things, but not a one of ’em is good enough. The trouble with that Major is he’s too good. Now you give me a lousy Major, and I’d have {you a present in no time.”’ Chuck said: “It’s a hell of a war when you can’t even think of-a-goin’away present for a good guy.” Polack said: “‘‘Say! I just thought of somethin’ terrible. Are you sure this Major’s goin’: away?”’ Chuck said: ‘‘Didn’t I see that slip of .paper?”’ Polack said: ‘‘That’s right. Shall we give him a bottle of ol’ lady Fatta’s wine?’’ : ; Chuck said: ‘‘Polack, you know that’s not good enough.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘Polack, I think you’re drunk. What’s the matter with you?”’ Bill said: ‘One, two, three, four, five. Why don’t you borrow something from old Four Eyes here to give the Major? You’d find a real nice goin’-away present right here in this house if you just got up and looked for it.’’ Chuck said: ‘‘Bill, why don’t you have more ideas? You got thé best ideas when you have ’em.” Polack said: ‘‘Yeah, good idea, let’s borrow something.”’ Chuck said: ‘Bill, you don’t even know how gvod your ideas are when you have ’em. Look: this Major, he’s Italian himself, speaks it like a native. He sure is gonna appreciate something Italian from old Four Eyes’ house. Boy, Bill, I don’ know why you aren’ a millionaire with the ideas you.got.”’ Bill said: ‘‘Una and tre is quattro. Due and tre is cinque. I can even add.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘Let’s go .an’ find something ‘fore we pass out.” The three boys got-up. They were pretty drunk now. They staggered out of their room and along a long corridor until they came to a drawing room. Polack said: ‘‘Lookit that room, like a Gran’ Central Station. There’s a lot of Eyetalian junk in there-’ Chuck said: ‘‘Let’s have look.” Polack said: ‘‘Why’n we give’m a chair?”’ Chuck said: ‘‘Good idea. Take the shroud off’n a chair, give ’im a chair.”’ Chuck and Polack skated across the floor to a chair. They bent over it to take the slip cover off Their fumbling hands could not find where . to loosen the cover. “Lif? it up,’’ Chuck suggested. “Look at it from unnerneath.”’ So they lifted the chair above their heads. Polack reeled. Chuck lost his grip. The chair crashed to the floor, and a leg broke off. Bill picked the leg up. Chuck said: ‘‘Too much trouble, lousy chair.’’ Polack spotted a terra cotta bust standing on a marble pillar-like stand in one corner. ‘‘Who’s ’at?”’ Bill said, as if positive: ‘‘Garibaldi.” Polack said: ‘‘Le’s give’m a Garibally.’’ And he went over to the corner, lifted the bust off the pillar, started uncertainly back toward the others, lost his*balance, and dropped the bust. It broke into hundreds of pieces. Polack looked over the mantel at a painting of a fat nude. She was lovely in his wine-washed eyes, and he said: ‘‘Give’m a woman. A Major needs a woman.”’ So the three worked together to get the painting down. They balanced themselves on chairs and grunted and all lifted on the bottom edge of the painting. They managed to lift it off its hook, but they could not keep it balanced. The picture fell, and its canvas hit the back of a chair, and the fat woman was ripped from flank to flank. Polack said: ‘‘Le’s go in ’nother room.” They went into a dining room. In one corner there was a big glassfaced cabinet containing Venetian glassware on shelves. “Give ’im somethin’ to drink out of,’’ Chuck said. tees He tried the door of the cabinet, but it was locked. ‘‘Bill,’”’ he said, “open this thing up. Don’t just stan’ there with that club: Open up.” Polack said: “Case of ’mergency, break glass an’ pull lever.’’ Bill stepped up and poised the chair leg. ‘Una, due, tre,’’ he said, and on three’he let go. The glass front shivered to the floor. The three boys staggered forward to choose a gift. First they dropped a bowl. Then. they dropped a glass swan. Then they dropped a big goblet. Then they knocked the whole cabinet over and broke everything. ~ The three men went from room to room this way, leaving a trail of ruin behind them. Their disappointment grew as they saw their chances dwindling of getting anything good enough (or durable enough) for the Major. * Finally Chuck said: ‘Hell of ‘@war, when you can’t even find a present in ol’ Four Eyes’ house.” We got to thinkPa i aie ke ee eo San ae a a ee i he ie a Oe @ Enjoyment Eat Our patrons find that despite rationing and wartime conditions the quality of our meats measures up to the same high stadnards we have always maintained.

Rosa came in and asked where the Major was, and Tomasino came back from putting the little ones’ to bed, and Captain Purvis got up and left too. Later Major Joppolo was angry with himself for his childish petulance wit Tina. He told himself that he had no right to expect anything else. He reminded himself that he had done a little talking the first evening about his wife, and Tina hadn't flown off the way he: did. But he couldn’t bring himself to apologize to her, and for several days and nights he did ndt see her. He had no way of knowing that Tina was just as. lonely as he was, and he did not realize that female loneliness ‘sometimes takes exactly the same forms as male loneliness. Corporal Chuck Schultz of the M.P.’s used to talk a lot about how much he hated red wine, but it nevertheless had a certain fascination for him. Chuck’s two best friends, Bill and Polack, also found the stuff interesting. The three of them drank it together quite often. They used to buy it from Carmelina, the wife of the lazy Fatta, for a dollar a bottle. One night they bought three bottles for three dollars, and then they went to their billets to drink it. It is very rare for an M.P. to drink anything, even vino, to excess, but Corporal Chuck Schultz was a rare M.P. His two friends, Bill and Polack, were in the Engineer Battalion which was working around. Adano. They were billeted in the same house with Chuck and some other M.P.’s. Chuck and Bill and Polack did not drink vino in order to savor it on their tongues. They did not drink it to compare it with other wines which they had had on other occasions. They did not drink it to complement food. They drank it to get drunk. 2 Therefore it was not surprising that on the night when they bought three bottles for three dollars, they began quite early in the evening to tell dirty jokes, then sang some songs, then argued a_ little, then got restless and decided to go for a walk. Nor was it surprising that the walk was rather noisy. It was really not surprising, either, that when they found that their walk was not taking them anywhere except round and round the same block, they should have decided to go back to their billet. This was not surprising, but it was the thing which got _ them in trouble. If they had stayed in their billet

and not gone for a walk, they would have been all right. So would they if they had not gone home to their billet so soon, but had walked until their drunkenness dulled: their vision and blurred their keenness. But doing what they did got them in trouble. Here is why: On the way home, Chuck Schultz said: ‘‘Hell of a war.’’ Polack said: ‘Smatter, you gonna get sick again?” Chuck said: ‘‘Oh, no, I feel good. It’s jus’ hell of a war.’’ Polack said: ‘‘Prove it.” Bill said, for the ninetieth time that night: ‘“‘Uno due tre quattro cinque.”’ Polack said: ‘‘Shup, Bill. Prove it’s hell of a war, Chuck.” Chuck, Chuck said: ‘‘Joppolo, that’s fel. low.”’ . *Polack said: ‘‘What about him? . What’s he gotta do with it?” Bill said: ‘‘Cinque cinque cinque cinque. cinque.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘He never gets drunk, never, never gets drunk. . But he’s good fella.” Polack said: ‘‘Oh, he’s wonderful fella.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘He’s bes’ fella whole invasion.”’ Polack said: ‘‘Oh; he’s better’n . that. He’s perfec’.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘No, he ain’’ per. fect. He don’t drink. But he’s good. Oh, he’s good’s hell. These wops, . they think he’s perfect. He’s bes’ . thing ever happened to this town.”’ . Polack said: ‘‘What’s ’at prove?) Prove it’s hell of a war. Don’t} change a subjec’.”’ : . Bill said: ‘‘Una due tre una due . tre.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘Shut up your counting, Bill. Ill prove’ it’s hell of a war. It’s all ’cause of the Major.” Polack said: ‘‘How’s he prove anything if he don’t drink?’’ Chuck said: ‘‘Here’s how he proves everything. -He’s bes’: thing ever happened to this town, but he’s gonna get kicked. Now is that any kind of a war?”’ Polack said: :‘‘Who’s gonna kick him? Show me the stiff who’s gonna kick -him.”’ Chuck said: ‘General Marvin’s gonna kick him, that’s who!”’ Polack said: ‘‘Oh, he kicks everybody, I don't see nothin’ special about that.’ Chuck said: ‘‘Yeah, but look, Polack, here you got a guy who’s best thing ever happened to this town, I mean he unnerstands these people, i . . “Not knowing is worse than having Sean. him dead.” , and that old General Marvin he’s gonna bust him down to Corporal, just like me. Now what kind of a war is that?” Bill said: ‘‘Cinque quattro tre due uno. Backwards. Cinque quattro tre due uno.’”’ Polack grew suspicious. He said: “How you know? Does the old general tell you who he’s gonna bust and who he’s not?” Chuck said: ‘‘I seen the paper.” Polack said: ‘‘Bustin’ him?’’ Chuck said: ‘‘No, the paper ’at’s goin’ to get him busted. Trapani and me, we tried to hide it, but the Cap’n found it. It’s sure goin’ to get the Major busted when old pieface sees it.’’ Polack said: ‘‘Jeez, can you imagine a war like that?’’ Chuck said: ‘‘Hell of a war.’’ Polack said: ‘Chuck, you proved it to me. Hell of a war.” Bill said: ‘I like cinque best. Cinque cinque. cinqué.’’ . Chuck said: ‘Rotten dirty stinkin’ unfair lousy war.”’ Polack said: ‘Hell of a war, you take and ruin the bes’ man you got.”’ ! Chuck said: “I like that Major, he’s honest. I don’t want for him to be busted like that.’’ Polack said: “I ain’t never seen this Major, but if you say he’s the best. Major you ever seen, I’ll take your word for it and I think it’s a unfair war myself for bustin’ him.” Chuck said: ‘‘You know, we ought to do somethin’ for that Major. ‘Polack, we ought to do somethin’ for Bir 24 Polack said: ‘‘You said me a mouthful, Chuck. We sure ought to.’’ Chuck said: ‘‘What could we do, Polack?. Somethin’» good. He deserves it, somethin’ good.”’ Polack said: ‘‘What could we do, Chuck? You’re a Corporal, and Bill and me, we’re just P.F.C.’s. What could we do?”’ Chuck said: Polack said: You thinkin’?”’ Chuck said: got a thing.” Bill said: ‘‘Uno due tre. We ought” to give the guy a goin’-away pres’ent if he’s all that good.” Chuck said: ‘First sensible. thing ‘‘Let’s think.’’ “Okay. palo.. ‘Yeah, but I ain’t re + 2 BR Go Se aoe aa er os — — ee a ent, it’s got to be good, if it’s for Polack said: “It was Bill’s idea. What’ll we give him, Bill?” Bill said grandly: ‘‘Uno due tre quattro cingue.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘He’s no good, iiim and is numbers. of something, Polack, we got to.”’ Polack said; ‘‘Let’s go back and . get those bottles. Maybe they’d help . us think of something.’ . Chuck said: ‘‘That’s hard, to think of somethin’ good enough for that . Major.”’ . Polack said: ‘I canythink of a lot of things, but not a one of ’em is good enough. The trouble with that Major is he’s too good. Now you give me a lousy Major, and I’d have {you a present in no time.”’ Chuck said: “It’s a hell of a war when you can’t even think of-a-goin’away present for a good guy.” Polack said: “‘‘Say! I just thought of somethin’ terrible. Are you sure this Major’s goin’: away?”’ Chuck said: ‘‘Didn’t I see that slip of .paper?”’ Polack said: ‘‘That’s right. Shall we give him a bottle of ol’ lady Fatta’s wine?’’ : ; Chuck said: ‘‘Polack, you know that’s not good enough.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘Polack, I think you’re drunk. What’s the matter with you?”’ Bill said: ‘One, two, three, four, five. Why don’t you borrow something from old Four Eyes here to give the Major? You’d find a real nice goin’-away present right here in this house if you just got up and looked for it.’’ Chuck said: ‘‘Bill, why don’t you have more ideas? You got thé best ideas when you have ’em.” Polack said: ‘‘Yeah, good idea, let’s borrow something.”’ Chuck said: ‘Bill, you don’t even know how gvod your ideas are when you have ’em. Look: this Major, he’s Italian himself, speaks it like a native. He sure is gonna appreciate something Italian from old Four Eyes’ house. Boy, Bill, I don’ know why you aren’ a millionaire with the ideas you.got.”’ Bill said: ‘‘Una and tre is quattro. Due and tre is cinque. I can even add.”’ Chuck said: ‘‘Let’s go .an’ find something ‘fore we pass out.” The three boys got-up. They were pretty drunk now. They staggered out of their room and along a long corridor until they came to a drawing room. Polack said: ‘‘Lookit that room, like a Gran’ Central Station. There’s a lot of Eyetalian junk in there-’ Chuck said: ‘‘Let’s have look.” Polack said: ‘‘Why’n we give’m a chair?”’ Chuck said: ‘‘Good idea. Take the shroud off’n a chair, give ’im a chair.”’ Chuck and Polack skated across the floor to a chair. They bent over it to take the slip cover off Their fumbling hands could not find where . to loosen the cover. “Lif? it up,’’ Chuck suggested. “Look at it from unnerneath.”’ So they lifted the chair above their heads. Polack reeled. Chuck lost his grip. The chair crashed to the floor, and a leg broke off. Bill picked the leg up. Chuck said: ‘‘Too much trouble, lousy chair.’’ Polack spotted a terra cotta bust standing on a marble pillar-like stand in one corner. ‘‘Who’s ’at?”’ Bill said, as if positive: ‘‘Garibaldi.” Polack said: ‘‘Le’s give’m a Garibally.’’ And he went over to the corner, lifted the bust off the pillar, started uncertainly back toward the others, lost his*balance, and dropped the bust. It broke into hundreds of pieces. Polack looked over the mantel at a painting of a fat nude. She was lovely in his wine-washed eyes, and he said: ‘‘Give’m a woman. A Major needs a woman.”’ So the three worked together to get the painting down. They balanced themselves on chairs and grunted and all lifted on the bottom edge of the painting. They managed to lift it off its hook, but they could not keep it balanced. The picture fell, and its canvas hit the back of a chair, and the fat woman was ripped from flank to flank. Polack said: ‘‘Le’s go in ’nother room.” They went into a dining room. In one corner there was a big glassfaced cabinet containing Venetian glassware on shelves. “Give ’im somethin’ to drink out of,’’ Chuck said. tees He tried the door of the cabinet, but it was locked. ‘‘Bill,’”’ he said, “open this thing up. Don’t just stan’ there with that club: Open up.” Polack said: “Case of ’mergency, break glass an’ pull lever.’’ Bill stepped up and poised the chair leg. ‘Una, due, tre,’’ he said, and on three’he let go. The glass front shivered to the floor. The three boys staggered forward to choose a gift. First they dropped a bowl. Then. they dropped a glass swan. Then they dropped a big goblet. Then they knocked the whole cabinet over and broke everything. ~ The three men went from room to room this way, leaving a trail of ruin behind them. Their disappointment grew as they saw their chances dwindling of getting anything good enough (or durable enough) for the Major. * Finally Chuck said: ‘Hell of ‘@war, when you can’t even find a present in ol’ Four Eyes’ house.” We got to thinkPa i aie ke ee eo San ae a a ee i he ie a Oe @ Enjoyment Eat Our patrons find that despite rationing and wartime conditions the quality of our meats measures up to the same high stadnards we have always maintained.
