McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, S. THURSDAY, JULY 17, 1941 CRISFLY COOL ON A SUMMER DAY! (See Recipes Below) THIRST QUENCHER IDEAS ' The thermometer’s soaring and the sumnier sun’s too hot, you say? ■Then you’ll want a cool, gracious drink with tinkling ice to lift your wilted spirits. Indeed the favorite pickup for a sultry day is nothing more than a simple drink of fruit juices, tea, or frosty milk with shimmering ice. The tartness of the fruit juices in these drinks will refresh and cool you, soothe your disposition long after you’ve sipped them. Besides they’ll give vitamins and minerals to pep you up even more. JLff Wp hf* 0_3 '.241 -K— 1 6 For a really quick cooling drink you might try some of the prepared fruit juice powders on the market. They can be mixed in a flash and give a very satisfying beverage. The •children will like working with them, too, and won’t muss the kitch en if they have this type of easy 'preparation to use. Summer drinks can be especially attractive when served with those fragrant sprigs of mint you have growing on the side of the house, strawberries from the patch, or long, length wise slices of leinon to bring out the delicate flavor of tea. Ice cubes with cherries, red berries, mint leaves, orange or lemon slices, or fruit juices all frozen in the cubes will make your thirst quenchers a joy to look at. •Iced Tea. Tea must be made double strength when used with ice, so use 2 tea spoons for each cup of water. Meas ure 1 cup of freshly drawn water, bring to a boil. Pour over leaves, let steep 5 minutes, then strain into a pitcher. Cool, pour into glasses filled with ice, two-thirds full. Serve with slices of lemon. You can do such delightful things with this combination of tea, or anges and mint, so here’s a recipe which you might like to try. It’s a company favorite! Orange Mint Julep. (Serves 10) 6 glasses of strong tea 2 cups sugar v % cup water 1 orange rind grated Juice of six oranges. Sprays of mint Boil the sugar and water and grat ed orange rind for 5 minutes. Re move from fire, add crushed mint leaves and let cool. To the strained tea add orange juice, and pour into glasses which are half-filled with crushed ice, and sweeten to taste with the strained mint syrup. You’ll like this garnished with mint sprays and floating orange slices. For a really exhilarating drink that has nutritive value so vital to lift lagging spirits, here’s eggs and milk combined with fruit and juices. It’s so-oK) good and looks like a charm. LYNN SAYS: A snowy frost on the glass in which you serve your cooling summer drinks is very attrac tive and simple to make. All you do is dip the top of the glass before it is filled into slightly beaten egg white and then into granulated sugar. Allow to dry thoroughly before using. If you’d like a true frost for the glass try a drink which is guaranteed to have one. Such are the old-fashioned “granits” which may be of any flavor you desire. The granit is a half- frofcen drink which is put in the refrigerator or freezer until a light snow-frost appears, but leaves the drink still liquid enough to pour. For a strawberry granit, mash a quart of berries and cover with IVfe pounds of sugar, then set , aside for several hours to let a syrup form. Drain and press through a sieve. Add 1 table spoon of strawberry extract, then mix with 1 pint of water. Freeze until the top is snow-frosted and serve in long, thin glasses.

(Released by Western Newspaper Union.) By VIRGINIA VALE (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) O NE of the most interest ing pieces of casting that’s taken place in Holly wood is the selection of Joan Crawford and Greer Garson to combine their talents for the first time in “When Ladies Meet,” a screen version of the stage hit of some years ago. It’s the story of a wife and the “other woman”; they meet without knowing that they’re rivals. They become warm friends—and the fun begins when their identities are re- GREER GARSON vealed. The stars are fresh from hits—Miss Crawford from “A Wom an’s Face,” and Miss Garson from ‘‘Blossoms in the Dust.” Robert Tay lor will be the foughtover male. * Edgar Kennedy, the “slow-bum” star' of RKO Radio’s shorts, is pre paring to leave on his annual per sonal appearance tour. He will be accompanied by his wife, his son and Chester Conklin, and he will play Midwest theaters and fairs. * Katharine Hepburn, whose per formance in “Philadelphia Story” put her back where she wanted to be $t the box office, will start work soon on another picture. At present it’s called “The Woman of the Year”; she’ll play a newspaper col umnist who’s married to a sports writer. Metro feels that it’s a good title for a Hepburn picture because of the comeback which she staged in “Philadelphia Story.” —*— Miriam Hopkins withdrew from “Bad Lands” recently, giving two reasons, one ordinary, one unusual. The ordinary one—she felt that the part did not suit her; probably it didn’t. The title doesn’t sound like a Miriam Hopkins vehicle. The un usual one—she felt that Robert Stack, the leading man, was too young to play opposite her. Few feminine stars would admit that! *— Jack Holt’s offspring are doing all right for themselves in films — as is Papa. Tim is scheduled for six “outdoor dramas”—(just Westerns to us,) for RKO for 1941-42, and his sister Jenny, who’s 20, has been en gaged to play the feminine lead in “Stick to Your Guns,” a Hopalong Cassidy picture in which that vet eran of Westerns, William Boyd, plays the lead. * Every so often somebody has the bright idea of trying to persuade Maude Adams to come out of retire ment and make a picture. Noth ing ever comes of it. The latest to try it is Frank Capra, who wants her to star in a film called “Meet Jane Doe, Mother of John Doe.” If she could be tempted to make a picture the opportunity of working with Capra should do it. —* Edmund Lowe and Victor McLag- len, who impersonated marines in the movie version of “What Price Glory” years ago, have become “Sergeant Quirt” and “Captain Flagg” again; this time on the air. They’reipioing a radio program designed to promote recruiting by showing modern life in the corps; it’s a weekly feature, and should be welcomed by those who remember “What Price Glory.” * Jack Smart, of CBS’s “Meet Mr. Meek,” met a judge last week, not once but twice. Picked up for speeding, he didn’t have the money for the fine, so the judge let him go home for it. He hurried so fast, wanting to pay the first fine and get to his radio rehearsal on time, that he got another ticket for speed ing. But the judge let him out of the second one. * ODDS AND ENDS—Cleo Manning made her debut as a motion picture actress by being kissed by Clark Gable, in “Honky Tonk" . . .

Address Brown Was Starting Early To Get Along With the Cook The bus was starting in the midst of a torrent of rain, when the conductor put his head inside and inquired: “Will any gentle man get out and oblige a lady?” “She can come inside and sit on my knee, if she likes,” said a passenger, jocularly, and, to his great surprise, in bounced a buxom woman, who forthwith ap propriated the offered knee. After a time the man. Brown, by name, got into conversation with his burden, and asked her where she was going. On hearing her destination, he exclaimed, “Why, that’s my house!” “Well, then,” replied the woman, blushing, “I’m your new cook.” New Jobs Being Offered By U. S.
