Beware The Booby Trap A German plane brought down over Malta was equipped with a new type of radio. When the British attempted to remove the radio, an explosion killed five men. A Nazi officer in captured Sevastopol turned on a water faucet in his new headquarters. An explosion ripped out the entire floor. A British Commando on a raid across the channel kicked open the door of what seemed to be a peasant's home. The entire house blew up. In each "booby traps" were responsible. A "booby trap," so named for obvious reasons, is any form of concealed mechanism designed to be set off inadvertently by the enemy or worked automatically by means of a time device. "Booby traps" rely on surprise for their success. Hence, the operating mechanism is either covered or made to resemble some harmless object. A German whistle was found lying on the floor of an officer's quarters. When the whistle was blown, the vibrating pea hit a striker which caused an explosion. When the British captured Agedabia in Africa, the entire town was mined with both anti-tank and armor-piercing explosives. In the midst of these contrivances, "booby traps" were found under many guises. Innocent looking tar barrels had been left along the road. In them were found three large shells rigged to explode by electricity. Behind the doors of most of the houses in Cyrenaica, the British discovered wires which were attached to hand grenades. They exploded Life Saving Hints For Desert Airmen When forced down in the desert, stop and think... then act... do not become panicky. Stay near your plane until nightfall or longer if you expect a search to be made for you. If you have been forced to resort to your parachute, make your way to the wrecked plane if it is not too far distant. Prepare some sort of signalling device such as a piece of fuselage from which the paint has been scraped or a smoke smudge from oil and waste. Whenever possible, hold rockets in readiness. When absolutely sure that you will not be picked up, decide on a definite plan of action and follow it. Although you may have passed a camo shortly before landing, remember that you were traveling more than a hundred times as fast as you are able to walk. Remember that desert distances are deceptive don't be fooled by mirages. Make your way toward a known route of travel, a source of water, a point from which you can signal, or an inhabited area. Do not travel during the heat of the day but only at night or in the early morning and late afternoon. Follow the easiest route possible. Avoid soft sand and rough terrain unless it is absolutely necessary to traverse it in order to follow your course. If caught in a sandstorm, put on your sun glasses, cover your nose and mouth with a piece of cloth, and get in the lee of a rock, hill, cliff or some other object. Do not trust to instinct. Proceed only by instruments of navigation — sextant, stars and compass. Travel light, take only the bare necessities from the plane—all of the water and food, your compass and gun, first aid kit, sun glasses, a knife, matches or a flint and steel, an improvised sun helmet, and a 10-foot square piece of silk When the British captured Agedabia in Africa, the entire town was mined with both anti-tank and armor-piercing explosives. In the midst of these contrivances, "booby traps" were found under many guises. Innocent looking tar barrels had been left along the road. In them were found three large shells rigged to explode by electricity. Behind the doors of most of the houses in Cyrenaica, the British discovered wires which were attached to hand grenades. They exploded when the doors were opened. A favorite "booby trap" of the Germans is the stick grenade. These grenades are left lying around, seemingly a part of captured booty. When an attempt is made to use them against their former owners, the grenades explode immediately without the usual delay of a few seconds. What can be done to avoid these death traps? If at all possible personnel of the Engineer Corps should inspect all materiel in newly occupied territory. Engineers are fully trained to locate "booby traps" and well equipped to spring them harmlessly. If engineer personnel is not available, the use of extreme caution and good common sense will go a long way in protecting you from injury. Before entering a house formerly occupied by the enemy, get behind some protection and use a long pole to push open the door. Carefully inspect every object in the house to determine if hidden wires are attached. Don't move any furniture unless necessary. Act on the assumption that every object left by the enemy is a potential "booby trap" and treat it accordingly. If you find anything that looks suspicious, mark it well so that other personnel will recognize the danger zone.

Only a strong people in the best state of nutrition will be able to win the peace and rebuild this war-torn world. So that our own fighting men and those of our Allies may have enough, and so that every American civilian, war-worker or otherwise, may have the better nutrition needed, our government asks everyone to "Share the Meat" and to limit themselves voluntarily to 2½ pounds of meat per week per adolescent or adult person. Children should have proportionate quantities, according to their age. Nutritionists are agreed that meat should be eaten at least once each day. It is man's outstanding protein food because its proteins are "biologically adequate". Contain all the ten essential amino acids needed for tissue growth. It supplies valuable amounts of the vitamins thiamine, riboflavin and niacin, as well as necessary minerals—iron, copper, and phosphorus. Some of our people heretofore have eaten more than 2½ pounds weekly. Some have eaten less. Your government requests everyone who has been accustomed to larger amounts of meat to limit themselves to 2½ pounds of beef, pork, veal, lamb and mutton per week. But consumers may make up for the additional proteins they have had heretofore by eating more of the variety meats such as liver, sweetbreads, tongue, kidneys, brains, hearts, sausage products not made of carcass meats (such as liver sausage, souse scrapple, etc., etc.)...and poultry and fish, and other items which are not on the government's "voluntary ration" list. People who have been eating less than 2½ pounds of meat per week should make sure that they get an adequate supply of the essential nutrients of which meat is such an excellent source. The government's program does not call for "meatless days" which would defeat the purpose of the Share-the-Meat campaign. Our country is served better by consumers aiming toward better nutrition than by limiting themselves to the amount of meat they eat daily to a point which is not called for on the basis of available civilian supplies. Remember, too, that the meat products not on the government's "vountary ration" list are excellent sources of the nutrients natural to all meat.
