Dearborn St. L! 1 '8TT* 1 PRIVATE PURKET SYMPATHIZES WITH THE HOME FRONT Dear Mom.—Well I heard on the radio a broadcast of news from the United States and it made me al most as much worried about you and dad as you are about me. About the only big difference between me and you now is that you can talk back. Bilt you got to lissen to just as many orders as me I gess. * * * Remember away back, mom, when you was just worried that I would not have enough comforts in the army and when you was always so afraid I would not be able to keep warm? Gee I never thought I wood be worried over you for the same reasons, mom. * • * I gess them rules about jallopies is making it hard for you, although I know you ain’t the kind to squawk. I hear you can’t use the flivver for nothing now except in case of sick ness, but I bet the rules make pop sick enough to have a good alibi if he decides to take a ride. I seen one rule which says it is okay to drive a sick dog to a dog hospital and on account of I know what a little fresh air means to you, mom, I wish pop wood pick up a dog what did not look two healthy and take you out for a little ride once a week. * * * It looks to me like between reading automobile rules, check ing tire numbers, doping out new rashuning systems, trying to keep warm, and keeping track of new rulings on what you can eat, mom, you ain’t having no picnic. Bpt cheer up, mom. Your troubles make me sorer at the Axis than ever and I will fight harder to break up this war now. • • • I am well and strong if a little muddy. I wood feel better if I knew who was on the level over here and who was not. Some French man is double-crossing some other Frenchman or vices versa every few minutes and I gess General Eisen hower isi having a time straightening out the line-up. Every day some body else is arrested for trying to run the wrong way with the ball. * • • Well, I see there’s a ruling you can not send me no more packages unless I ask for them and get the brasshats to okay it which makes me sore. It makes me feel silly making out a list of things I wood like and reading it to a officer like I was ask ing Santa Claus for some presents. * • * The brasshat I wood have to ask is a sourpuss. He wood not okay nothing for me so I am going to tell him I want a player-piano, a barrel of beer, catcher’s mitt and a polo pony from my folks. I got nothing to lose. Love, Oscar. ft* TIP TO SQUAWKERS (“Five sons of Mr. and Mrs. Thom as F. Sullivan of Waterloo, Iowa, were lost on the cruiser Juneau.”— News item.) Kickin’ about your rations? Squawkin’ about the bans? Fussin’ about the gas rules? . . . Think of the Sullivans! Blue on account of edicts? Yellin’ of more ahead? What of that Western home where Five of the group are dead? Beefin’ of sacrifices? Yawpin’ about the costs?— Think of the home where parents Mourn for their five boys lost! * * * “The used-car dealers, admitting that many autoists had called about selling their autos, said that they wanted fortunes for them.”—News item. In the mind of a used-car dealer this means that a man trying to sell a 1941 sedan probably wants some, thing a little above $108. * * * An OPA official announces that baloney will soon be but a memory. Well, we just don’t believe it. You can deprive us of a lot of things, but you wUl have the united opposition of the entire congress when you try to limit baloney. • • • “Meat of some kind and an un specified amount of substitute, in cluding soybeans,” will be used, says one OPA man. Well, we don’t know much about the soybean. But some how or other we feel the same about a soybean hot dog as we would about a turnip-hamburger. • * • Hitler seems to be ignoring the slogan about never changing generals in mid-dream. * • • Elmer Twitchell says a soldier in this war has to be between 18 and 25 in order to stand all the changes of climate. * • • Well, the ban on automobiling cer tainly gives the last laugh to the fellow who always said the auto hadn’t come to stay. • • • The WPB has decreed a cut of 50 per cent in the nationwide produc tion of ice cream. Another blow at the war effort. It means less work on “sundaes.” Warm Welcome! These are days when families are divided and diminished, and there comes the urge to say to the neigh bor, come take “pot-luck” supper with us. Thus, your neighbor will bring over some salad and muffins and herself and the youngster, you can make a main dish and dessert, and have company with it besides! It’s heart-warming to visit, too, and have someone to help with the meal if your once-big family is somewhat reduced. Most people wel come a visit now and then with just one of the ordinary meals—and pot- luck is the perfect answer. Your first must-not with pot-luck is do not fuss. Just get together on who is to bring what—and have what you ordinarily would have. Your plans need not be made with cam paign-like precision, simply do it on the spur of the moment, since this makes for spontaneity. Let’s take it easy on meat with some grand casserole dishes—includ ing this on shrimp and crabmeat with a crisp, corn-flake crust: *Baked Shrimp Salad. (Serves 6 to 8) !/• cup chopped green pepper Vi cup minced onion 1 cup chopped celery 1 cup cooked crabmeat, flaked 1 cup cooked shrimp, cleaned 1 cup mayonnaise Vi teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 2 cups corn flakes Vi cup butter Combine all ingredients and mix well together. Place in individual shell dishes or one large casserole. Cover with crushed corn flakes, dot with butter, and sprinkle paprika over top. BakeMn a moderate oven (350 degrees) about 30 minutes. Serve with lemon. Spaghetti’s a fine dish to serve at pot luck. Should hamburger sup plies be low, try some of Sunday’s leftover chicken in the sauce: Spaghetti With Chicken. (Serves 6 to 8) 1 8-ounce package spaghetti 1 onion, cut fine 1 small clove garlic 2 tablespoons fat 214 cups cooked tomatoes Salt and pepper 1 tablespoon sugar Dash of cayenne 1 cup diced, cooked chicken Vi cup grated cheese 1 cup mushrooms, sauteed Cook spaghetti in boiling salted Water until tender. Drain and place in a greased cas serole. Saute on ion and garlic in hot fat until ten der but do not brown. Add toma toes, salt, pepper, sugar and cay enne. Heat to boiling, then add Lynn Says: No Waste, No Want: Rationing and decreased supplies of food have diminished our leftover problem, but not entirely done I away with it. That’s why I’m j passing on these thoughts of what-to-do: Use cooked meat or fish sea soned and moistened with cream in between the omelet. Vegeta bles, put through a sieve mois tened with cream, butter or gra vy are good, too. Stewed tomatoes go together with scrambled eggs. Especially nice is a rating scrambled eggs get with minced tongue, chicken or ham. Use them if you only have a half a cupful. Sweeten fruit juices with sugar and thicken with one tablespoon of cornstarch. Yes, mighty good on hot puddings—cottage, apple, or brown betty puddings! This Week’s Menu Pot-Luck Supper ♦Baked Shrimp Salad Julienne Green Beans Mustard Sauce ♦Apple-Wakiut Muffins •Wilshire Salad Cranberry Fingers •Recipe Given chicken, mushrooms, and pour over spaghetti. Toss with fork and sprin kle with grated cheese. Bake in a moderate (350-degree) oven about 30 minutes. For ease in serving, and ease on your budget serve your salad course with the hot bread and skip dessert! It’s a smart and simple note in budget suppers: ♦Wilshire Salad. (Serves 8) 1 head lettuce or romaine 4 slices pineapple 1 grapefruit, peeled and sectioned 1 red apple, sliced Vi pound grapes, cleaned 1 orange peeled and sectioned Mayonnaise Line salad bowl with lettuce or romaine. Arrange fruit in an order ly but pretty pattern, alternating slices of pineapple with apple, and orange sections with grppefruit. Sprinkle halved grapes (seeded) over whole of bowl, or place clus ters of grapes among other fruit. Serve with mayonnaise. You can take the B-r-r-r- out of winter by serving a delicious hot bread that breaks open like a twink and when spread with butter is the answer to perfection! Apple-Walnut Muffins. (Makes 12 medium) 2 cups sifted flour 3 teaspoons baking powder Vi teaspoon salt Vi teaspoon cinnamon 3 tablespoons sugar 1 egg, well beaten 1 cup milk 3 tablespoons mild salad oil 1 cup raw, grated apple Vi cup broken walnut kernels Mix and sift dry ingredients. Com bine egg, milk and salad oil and add to flour mixture, stirring only until mixed. Fold in apple and nuts. Drop by spoonfuls into greased muf fin tins, filling % full. Bake in a hot (425-degree) oven for 20 to 30 min utes, according to the size of the muffins. It’s a pleasure to bring freshly baked bread to the table because it’s a sign you have gone to the trouble of trying to make the meal as good as possible. You’ll like the following nut bread both for table or lunch-box use. If you’re using this bread for the lunchbox, slice it thinly, spread with cream cheese, blended with apple sauce, or cream cheese with crisply fried, drained and crumbled bacon. Brazil Nut Quick Bread. (Makes 1 5-by-9-inch loaf) 3 cups flour 4 teaspoons baking powder Vt cup sugar 1 cup chopped Brazil nuts 1 egg 1!4 cups milk 3 tablespoons melted shortening Sift dry ingredients together, add nuts.

Parton Consolidated Features.—WNU Release. XT EW YORK.—Having shown how • to draft the weather for the duration of this biggest war, F. N. Reichelderfer is tendered a nice He Holds Weather recent amiu- As Important as al dinner in Terrain in War N ew T Y°rk the Institute of Aeronautical Sciences handed him the Losey Sword for outstand ing contributions to the science of meteorology. Weather is war’s most uncer tain factor. Not even the great captains froip Belisarius on to Stonewall Jackson (and Timo shenko) could win if it blew too hard against them. And it is the belief of Reichelderfer that tac ticians take it too little into ac count. Chief, now, of the United States weather bureau, he would have a weather forecaster witb every naval and military unit on its own. There aren’t enough military forecasters for this, yet, but Reichelderfer is button holing all the generals and ad mirals. Forty-seven years old, the bureau chief is sharp-nosed, lean, baldisb and square-chinned. By the time he had a science degree from North western university he was sure weather was his dish, and he did extra studying in Norway. The navy got him in 1918 and for 20 years he was about its most weatherwise of ficer . . . aviator, aerologist and finally commander. He spent a lot of time at the naval air station in Lakehurst, N. J., until he quit the service for the bureau. He is married and has a son. After years of wisecracks from dis appointed picnickers he understands the risks of prophecy. “I doubt,” he said a while back, “if many knot* how brave the weather fore caster is who steps up to a survey xpap and makes a forecast for to morrow.” When the fate of a battle hangs on the forecast you can bet your bottom dollar he is brave. T HERE is a little (well, not too big!) smoke-filled (sometimes) room off the senate chamber in Washington where politicians axe Lawmakers Chech this* year as Shooting Irons at they have Col. Halseys Door these 0 , tei past. So far, however, no one has charged against it the sinister schemes layed to the traditional smoke-filled little room where politicians gather. It is the office of Col. Edwin A. Halsey, just confirmed as secretary of the sen ate for his tenth term. A senate secretary is supposed to tote up the senate’s bills and see that they are paid, even to the bill for the polish put on the vice presi dent’s official automobile. He is supposed also to disburse salaries, supervise the printing of legis lative bills and keep all records. Colonel Halsey does these things but he also serves as a suave broad-shouldered steering committee of one for new mem bers and as a friendly confident for new and old. He worked np to his present job from T bot tom start. A page boy in 1897 when a senator-uncle beckoned him off a Virginia farm, he was a master of pages and an as sistant sergeant-of-arms before reaching his present pleasant singularity. ( Report has it that very neat inter- party shennanigans are figured out in the colonel’s office for it is a neutral ground on which Democrats and Republicans meet unarmed. About this, however, no outsider can say for sure because matters dis cussed there are not tipped off else where. Except, perhaps, some in nocent bit of senate history. The secretary carried a vast store of that between his ears. And, ef course, the secretary’s golf score. Like any golfer, he will talk of that till kingdom come.

But it isn’t only in the telephone direc tory that A.A.B. continues to stand close to the top for all that he was a Harvard Phi Beta Kappa at 18 and had two more degrees when he could vote. His best line is corpora tion finance but he steps over it readily. Lately bis out-of-bound activi ties have included a call to Italy to revolt; a prediction that this hemisphere will lead the world after the war, and a judicial suggestion that the world adopt a system of finance based upon our Federal Reserve system. His photographs sometimes hint at an amiable superiority but this could be only the erudite abstrac tion of a man able to think up the profound thoughts that must lurk be tween the covers of books bearing titles like, “New Directions in the New World.” CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT MISCELLANEOUS Short Method Gardening.
