(FNS)— Volusia county set a new rec- ord one day last week when a full 24-hour period passed without a single arrest by RATION PUZZLE MRS. PRENTISS BROWN ALSO AMONG OTHERS WHO FIND NO PORK TO COOK WITH BEANS By MARGARET KERNODLE AP Features Writer WASHINGTON, April 14— Bacon grease does just as well as salt pork to flavor baked beans on the Prentiss Brown: table. The wife of the new OPA chief ought to know because she’s the family cook during these days of few maids in the capital. She admits she used to think she had to have salt pork to fix beans just right, She favors Mich- igan little navy) beans soaked overnight before the brown sugar and molasses go into the pot to make two or three hours. Prentiss Brown likes baked beans at least two or three times a week. Mrs.- Brown believes her hus- band will miss those steaks he used to broil over the hardwood coals in the living room of their home in St. Ignace; Mich, But she doesn’t think ration is really much trou- ble. Coffee hasn’t been a bother at all because he prefers*milk most of the time, and she “never has gone in for more than‘one'cup! a day, for breakfast. So far they’ve only used ‘one coffee coupon. And he takes only one lump of sugar in his occasional cup of cof- fee. She uses none. Eight-year-old Paul puts a little on his cereal. Sugar at the Browns went farther in Michigan, where the family was larger and a cup could be spared now and then for cake or pie. Now their desserts keep most- ly to custards, but they always have dessert. She prepared the custards with maple syrup from Michigan in- stead of sugar, uses cheese a lot. She says “The pie days are gone” —but hints homesickness over the thoughts of blueberry pie in sum- mer and lemon pie now and then. The Browns have eaten fish when they wanted steak, but they like fish. + The hardest thing Mrs. Brown has had to do since her husband became: OPA chief is to furnish ‘the apartment. “I never can make up my mind,” she said. “My husband says by the time I get the furniture bought we'll be ready to go back to St. Ignace.” They've borrowed some chairs, put up a card table , in the living room, lost a ration book (which ‘was replaced by the local Mich- igan board) and stayed home most nights because they’re too tired to do anything else. The OPA chief and his wife: do things about like other folks, OFFERS SUGGESTION TO AVOID NEW TAX TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 14. (FNS)—Senator Raymond Shel- don of Tampa offered a solution to state financial problems, de- signed to effect economy and avoid the imposing of an obnoxious cigarette tax: He would take $5,- 500,000 a year out of special funds handled through the Treasury, of various boards and commissions, in the form of a 15 per cent hand- ling charge. A 3 percent hatid- ling charge now in effeet pro+ duced $1,100,000 last year, it was pointed out ,, Most of the money would come from the Road Department and Citrus Commission millions and as the war emergency has sharp- ly curtailed the attivities of these agencies the money could well be} put tp better use at this time if it] will mean avoiding additional| taxes on an already burdened| people, proponents claim. Sheldon’s was the first major revenue measure of the session. county law enforcement of- ficers, OE Sd head “HERE FRIDAY “GALLAHAD JONES” TITLE OF PRESENTATION TO BE PUT ON “Galahad Jones,” the Senior Play, is scheduled for Friday, April 16th. It is a very interesting play, similar in many ways to the Henry Aldridge series, and prom- ises perplexing and tangling prob- lems for our young hero, Tommy Jones (played by John Day), who is deeply inmeshed (spiritually and mentally) in King Arthur and his Knights. The members of the cast include Rosiland Albury as Mrs. Jones, Tommy’s quiet mother; Arthur Valladeres, as Mr. Jones’ excitable father; Betty Adams as Alice, his older sister; Jayne Thompson as Joy, his younger sister; Sylvia Sawyer as Lena, the Joneses’! maid; Lou, Joy’s girl friend, is portrayed by Della Mae Curry;} Ruth Thompson as Bess, another friend; Jack Appel as Gus and George Holben as Bob, friends of Tommy's; Jack Sawyer as George Merton, a young lawyer; Olaf} Jensen, portrayed by Anthony Albury, Lena’s Brother; Miriam, as portrayed by Mary Ramsey;/ and Jack Cates as Mr. Andrews, a business-like man, a reporter who—well, you wait and find out. WOMAN ARRESTED FOR BURNING OWN TRASH Mrs. J. G. Dazzo, 415 Mar- garet street, was arrested on a warrant this morning by Motor cycle Patrolman Ray Atwell on a charge of refusing to pay her garbage fee and. for burning trash in her yard: She was locked up in the city jail, and her case will come up in the city court when it con- venes at 4 o'clock this after- noon.

By JACK STINNETT AP Features Service Writer | WASHINGTON, April 14— British military experts here are enthusiastic about a new weapon they are turning out by the hun- dreds of thousands. It's not a “secert weapon”, but its potentialities are consid- ered almost as great as if were. It’s the Sten gun, designed by a British lieutenant colonel and a draughtsman. Let me give you the gaspec first. It’s a sub-machine gun that fires at the rate of 500- rounds a minute and costs only a bit more than $8. If you’ don’t think the British are convinced they have some- thing there, give a thought t» manufactured more than a mil- lion and are still turning them out at top speed. The Ministry of Supply calls it “the most revolutionary gun ever produced in such a_ short time.” ish experts, are that it looks like an ugly piece of drain-pipe dis- carded by the plumber. But, they claim, men who never held a gun before have been able to rip a target to shreds with one at 30 yards and make effective hits at much greater distances. It fires from a clip, carrying 32 rounds of 9 MM. round-nose, rimless ammunition; cools while the clip is being changed (about the same length of time it would take to reload an Army auto- matic); weighs about six and a half pounds and is only 30 inch- es long. It is cheaper than the tommy- gun (which costs around $200); and is a possible replacement for that and the automatic pis- tol. The Sten gun is already being issued to the British Home Guard. It’s simpilicity (it has only 59 parts—less than half the number of the tommy-gun) makes it a perfect weapon for civilian or home guard use in close-fighting. There is one even more im- portant possibility for the Sten gun than equipping the Home Guard and tank crews. Dozens of them can be dropped in para- chutes, with ammunition at- tached. With the United Nations knécking on the doors of occu- pied, pe with its millions of but unarmed allies, WOULD’ S10 SPECIAL LAWYERS GATHER ESTATE TAXES TALLAHASSEE, Fia., April 14.
