War Refugee Board
Asks Agencies for
Rescue Suggestions
WASHINGTON, (JTA)—Presi-
dent Roosevelt's new War Refu-
gee Board moved this week to
enlist the full strength of private
agencies for the rescue and re-
lief of Nazi victims.
The Board made It clear that
it could not receive proposals
limited to rescuing a single indi-
vidual, but that it was soliciting
suggestions for group rescue
projects. IV acknowledged the
value of the work already done
by private agencies.
Wants Anti-Semites
Barred From Church
NEW YORK (JPS)—The rec-
ommenciations that the Protest-
ant ministry "bar from the use
of the sacraments of the church"
any one "who in any manner
engages in agitation against his
Jewish fellow-citizens," and that
similar steps be taken by the
Catholic church and other den-
ominations, was made by Rev.
Karl M. Chworowsky, of the
Flatbush Unitarian Church, in
a sermon discussing the current
anti-Semitic agitation here.
Sgt. Pecherer moved to Camp
Atterbury from Ft. Knok, Ky.,
with the original cadre, and
after acting as chief clerk in
Post Headquarters record sec-
tion, he shifted to the 1551st S.
U. in July, 1943, where he has
been head man in the office
since.
It was the love he had for his
blind dog that caused the death of
the brilliant writer and composer,
Edgar Allan Woolf. The dog acci-
dentally got between Woolf s feet
as he led the animal down a steep
flight of stairs. The writer was
thrown to the pavement and
never regained consciousness.

So now, with the recently released supplies
in tin, together with quantities of dried
beans, and the largest bean crop in history,
there will be more beans --beans in glass--
beans in tin -- for the public. Still you
won't be able to obtain all the Heinz Kosher
Vegetarian Baked Beans your ration points
Though increased, the supply will still be
less than the demand. The convenience of
ready-to-serve beans, plus increased demand
for all kinds of high-quality prepared foods
have created a market that even Heinz peace-
time production would be hard put to supply.
Volunteer harvesting crews saved the bean
crop in many areas. Every safeguard was
taken in shipping and storage. Packing
plants have been equipped to utilize both
glass jars and cans. Perhaps most important
of all, the Heinz coast-to-coast system of
75 sales branches provides equal and
Simultaneous distribution all over America,
Throughout the year, a fair proportion of
Heinz Vegetarian Baked Beans will reach
your grocer and be available to you.

REPORT OF H. J. HEINZ COMPANY
Shortages of vital war metals used in making
the cans forced the discontinuance of canned
baked beans when we entered the war. But
because baked beans are among the most nour-
ishing of all canned foods, the government
later permitted a limited pack of beans in
glass jars. Heinz Oven-Baked Beans were among
the first to make their reapPearance on your
grocer's shelves. In addition to glass jars,
the government recently has released stocks of
tin cans "frozen" in warehouses by W.P.B. order.
Look for more Heinz Baked Beans on your grocer's shelves
as additional containers become available. They'll be just
as delicious as those Heinz has been making for genera-
tions. Heinz Beans are thoroughly baked in hot. dry ovens.
That's because it takes real oven baking to make beans
