Paris reports indicate Justice Minister Robert LeCourt is studying a partial amnesty for minor collaborators to heal wartime wounds. The plan, kept secret from the cabinet, is forecast to be approved in time for Bastille Day July 14.
The ministry reviews 56000 dossiers on petits collabos with no broad amnesty expected. Some mild indulgence may be offered to those misled by Marshal Petain, likely with five years probation and restricted civic rights. Trials of major collaborators continue while resistants seek damages for wartime executions.

An old advertisement touts Laveptik for eye relief claiming 30 years of success and widespread use. It promotes diffused indirect light and warns against glare while offering a money back guarantee and an eye cup with the purchase. All druggists carry the product.
A Swift Laboratories release touts Jewel Shortening as a homogenized new formula with higher smoke points than premium shortenings. It claims 40 degrees higher smoke point, better for frying and baking, and a lower price per pound, with use in pies cakes and fried foods.
An advertisement argues Jewel shortening provides superior digestibility and nutrition compared with other fats. It states fats deliver about 2 cents more energy per pound than carbohydrates or proteins and that higher price does not guarantee better nutrition.
Mrs. J A Perry of 2681 Pershing Avenue Memphis Tennessee praises the new Jewel shortening. She says it costs less and is best for frying chicken and for fine cooking noting a jam cake that melts in your mouth.
To homemakers across the region Jewel has stood for quality since 1898. Its creamy smoothness and consistent results have built a strong reputation, and with the new homogenized Jewel Shortening the brand expects to reach even more households.
