Fort Devins, Mass., Nov 19—Postal clerks are trying to figure it out.
More than 1400 letters addressed in feminine handwriting have arrived here in the past year for Private James P. Simpkins.
But—records show that there is no James P. Simpkins here and that there never has been.

Air Forces Will Have New Mag.
AIR FORCES, the new official service journal of the Army Air Forces, will make its appearance shortly, according to word received from the War Department this week.
AIR FORCE will replace the Air Forces News Letter which has been published previously. The new magazine, which will have an initial circulation of 300,000 copies, will have the appearance of other national magazines in format, typography and paper stock.
Material for the publication will include full-length articles and short subjects under the by-line of field personnel. Opportunities for writers, particularly those who have been in the field of action, are open to submit manuscripts to the new magazine. The editorial office, located at 101 Park Avenue, New York, advises that particular attention will be given to articles dealing with tactics, combat methods, combat experience and first-person by-line stories of combat. New developments in training and technic; articles on "How To Do" and articles describing less publicized activities are wanted. The field of the magazine also includes personality stories, humor and various other phases of Air Force activities.
Articles intended for AIR FORCE consideration may be
Women In Defense Work, Organize New Uniform Group
Commanding interest of many girls and women now employed in essential war industry is a new organization, known Women Ordnance Workers made up of "the girls behind the guns."
Organized in Chicago, the corps started with a member of 500, and is expected to go by leaps and bounds as the spreads to the hundreds of thousands of women doing war-production work. Its members known as the WOWS, a title campares with the WACS, WAVES and the WAFS.
Like the military organization members of the WOWS have the special uniform, a two-piece kaki suit with gored skirt and buttoned jacket, worn with white shirt. The cap is over style with the letters WOW. Medallion worn on the jacket a shield superimposed on cross cannon, with the letters WOW topped by eagle wings and monogram USA.

VETERANS—You men who fought the last War—make this your job. To see that no American boy shall fall because a lack of scrap deprived him of a fighting chance.
SCRAP SLACKERS CAN LOSE THIS WAR!
It's squarely up to you. The mills need scrap to make the steel to go across the sea as ships, and tanks, and guns. They need it now—and in the months to come. For all new steel must be 50% scrap—and the mills are running out. They haven't enough for even 30 days more production—then they'll be shutting down.
Unless you get to work. Unless you go into your basement and your attic and rout out the junk that's there. Talk about it to your friends and neighbors—you men who know what war is like. Tell them...“Don't be a scrap slacker. Get your scrap ready for the drive that starts next Monday!” Then get to work and help them do it.
We're out to fill the junk yards—to make every salvage depot a towering tribute to our fighting men. And don't think the job is done when the scrap starts piling up. Because the war must end before the need for scrap is over.
Do this to help make sure it ends our way!

Closing Hours Are Standardized for Alpha Beta Stores
Anaheim's two Alpha Beta Food Markets, one at 406 East Center street and the other at 510 West Center street, will put new store hours into effect beginning Saturday, November 28, in accordance with rules laid down for all Alpha Beta markets of Southern California.
The big super markets have been operating under various schedules ranging from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. store hours to a full 24-hour day, according to Claude W. Edwards, secretary of the food firm. But the uniform schedule will represent maximum store hours for each business house. On week days they will open at 9 a.m. and the majority of them will close at 7 p.m. with the exception of Saturday when 8 o'clock will be the closing hour.
Revival Services Continue For Week
Nightly audiences which test
the seating capacity of Calvary Baptist church, are captivated by Evangelist Carl Bassett's unique manner of presenting the Gospel, according to those in attendance.
The speaker proves his right to the title of "Three-in-One" evangelist, by his short but spirited song service, which he leads with his trombone, and the vivid chalk drawings with which he illustrates his nightly message. Frequently he illustrates some favorite Gospel song while it is in progress, and each time the picture is presented to the person bringing the most newcomers to the service. Vera Cowen and Doris Essary have already won pictures.
These revival services are continuing throughout next week with the exception of Saturday night. In accordance with Evangelist Bassett's theory that...
The big super markets have been operating under various schedules ranging from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. store hours to a full 24-hour day, according to Claude W. Edwards, secretary of the food firm. But the uniform schedule will represent maximum store hours for each business house. On week days they will open at 9 a.m. and the majority of them will close at 7 p.m. with the exception of Saturday when 8 o'clock will be the closing hour.
Anaheim's No. 12 store, 406 East Center street, will observe these rules but No. 26 store at 510 West Center street will observe slightly different hours except on Saturdays. Its weekday hours will be from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. All Alpha Beta stores will remain closed Sundays and holidays.
The national emergency, manpower situation and availability of merchandise are some of the factors cited by Edwards as determining the new rulings. He also pointed out that markets darkened at 7 o'clock represent cooperation with military authorities in dimout regulations.
In regard to possible food shortages, Edwards stated "Because of some hoarding by a few consumers, we found it necessary to limit purchases in some merchandise in order to protect the great mass of our customers. We feel that America will have plenty of food and even though we may be short on a few items, no one will go hungry."

BOILED TONGUE
Although Californians have been asked by Governor Olson to observe Tuesday as a meatless day, the embargo does not extend to such meats as tongue, liver, sweetbreads, etc. Here is a savory dish to use hot, cold or in sandwiches. Wash a fresh beef tongue in warm water to remove blood vessels and clots. Cover with water to which is added 1 tsp. salt per quart, 3 sprigs of parsley, 3 whole cloves, 4 tbsp. vinegar. Simmer until done.
LAMB SHOULDER
With beef and pork at a premium now, housewives are fortunate in being able to secure choice cuts of lamb. Here is a delicious stuffed shoulder of lamb. Select a square-cut shoulder and have it boned and sewed on two sides to form a pocket. Season inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill with your favorite bread crumb dressing, well seasoned, and sew or skewer edges together.
Place fat side up on open roasting pan and recast at 300-350 degrees until done, allowing about 30 to 35 minutes per pound.

AIR FORCE MECHANIC
Soldiered 25 Years
For Five Countries
He's a humble Army Air Forces mechanic working "on the line" now at the Gardner Field Basic flying school near Taft, California. But he has served with four other armies — has been wounded twice — lost his hair and his memory from typhus — escaped from a dread European concentration camp — lost complete track of wife and son in the German invasions — and in general lived through adventures which most men would rather forget.
Pvt. Harry Evanish, 42, has been soldiering somewhere or other for 25 years.
In 1917 he joined the Austro-Hungarian army at his native Krakow, Galicia. In action at the front he rose to sergeant. In December 1918 Evanish signed with the Ukrainian army to fight the Bolsheviks, and again a wound sent him to the hospital. Out of the hospital again, Evanish joined the Russian army, which had emerged with the Ukrainians.
When the Communist regime took over in Russia, Evanish was placed in a concentration camp and later transferred to a prison in Poland. In true story-book fashion he escaped through the aid of tools secreted in a loaf of bread baked by his mother.
Evanish was hiding in his mother's barn in 1922 when the League of Nations turned over Galicia to Poland and he automatically became a free Polish citizen. So it felt it was time to join another army again — the Polish this time.
Citrus Men Choose Nominees
For Prorate Board
When Orange county independent orange growers held their recent meeting in Fremont school, it was for the purpose of selecting nominees for representation on the Orange Prorate board, and their choice centered on R. P. Allen of Tustin.
Allen's name was proposed as a regular member of the board, and Clarence Brown of San Juan Capistrano was selected as alternate. The two names will be placed on the ballot with names from various other citrus growing districts.
Date of the final election has not yet been named, but the election will place the names of two independent growers on the prorate board, with two alternate members. Remaining board members will be selected by cooperative organizations.
Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg called the meeting to order as a representative of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. R. P. Allen was then elected as chairman for the subsequent business meeting, and E. R. McCoy of this city, was secretary.
