Passengers recount a wartime transatlantic voyage marked by brutal waves and a crewman who fixed bow gun lashings before being swept away by a towering crest. The incident underscores quiet courage at sea and a home front discussion about Hooverizing and wartime costs. The story blends sea peril with social commentary on frugality and national unity.
A national push to eat whale meat gains momentum as scientists back its role in supporting troops abroad. The piece notes a New York dinner at the American Museum of Natural History and cites whale oil as less valued than the meat itself powering civilization. It also discusses Russian landscape mood and a Swiss salute tradition observed by a Red Cross worker, plus a Popular Mechanics report on train telephone links in Canada.
