THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C„ FEBRUARY 26, 1943
THAT NEW RATION BOOK
Uncle Sam is author of the Book
of the Month for March. It will be
entitled “Life With Mother” or
“Through the Grocery With Pen and
Pencil.”
• • •
It will have action, excitement,
drama and plenty of mystery. But
no romance unless it is possible for
a love affair to develop during an
argument with a groceryman.
* • •
There will be a foreword by the
department of justice. And an ap
pendix by the same people.
• • •
It will be read by more people
than “Gone With the Wind,”
■“Cross Creek,” “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin” and “East Lynne.’* But
they will have more trouble un
derstanding it.
• • •
It will be linked up with more
battles than “Napoleon’s Memoirs”
and "The Founding of the West.”
And it will combine the best features
of Burpee’s Simple Arithmetic, the
Nursery ABC Book and “How to
Diet With Federal Co-operation.”
• • •
Publication date March 1. Avail
able at all rationing boards. And
you can’t get it through a circulating
library, madame.
• • *
It’s the new 1943 model Point Sys
tem Ration Book in technicolor. If
the ladies think they had fun with
the last book wait till they wrestle
with this. We intended to have our
book editor review it, but we found
him disqualified. He had just
swapped “Van Loon’s Lives” for
nine cans of tomatoes and was of
fering anything in the library for
a dozen bottles of catsup.
* • *
So we’ll have to review it
briefly. It’s a snappy fast mov
ing thing in old blue, the action
revolving around 48 coupons of
various values ranging from one
point to eight. (And no point
for goal after touchdown.)
• * *
On the old book you could win only
on a knockout, but with this one
you can win or lose on points.
• • •
It’s going to complicate life for
people who can’t count fast. You
can bring along a public accountant
but remember, he can’t have mus
tard or jam.
• • •
The corner delicatessen store is
going to be a fine place to brush up
on your 'arithmetic. Shopping for
groceries wasn’t so bad before but
from now on it’s strictly an upper
brackets routine.

SONG ABOUT MEAT
The OPA, the OPA—
It has so very much to say:
It sets up ceilings most confusing—
And does it just to be amusing!
It sets, with forms and rules galore,
A price on beefsteak at the store;
But with the farmer there’s no roof
On what he gets “upon the hoof.”
He gets more money for the cow
Than what the dressed-meat rules
allow;
Oh, how I love the OPA,
It makes me more confused each
day!

Private Purkey Is Lonely.
Dear Harriet: Just a quickie to
let you know I am okay. But it
seemed kind of lonesome here in
Africa on account of there is just
the army around. No presidents or
prime ministers has been here in
over two weeks now. There was a
report last night a prime minister
had been sighted off the coast flying
low, but nothing come of it.
Also a rumor that four White
House officials had been spotted in
the stratosphere between Dakar and
here was false. I will write you a
long letter tonight.
Love,
Oscar.
P.S.—Things look better over
here. The French generals almost
trust each other now.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Ob, well!” shouted II Duce,

who is able to hold out for one quar

NO HOPE
No Rural plan can get by us—
Of that there is no fear;
If'e’d never stand for any plan
That is so crystal clear!

A coat has been designed with four
inside pockets, encased in isinglass
to hold the social security, draft,
gas, ration and other cards which
now have to be toted around. There
are so many cards that it might be
easier to make them into a coat and
put in a couple of pockets for the
pants.

Favorite Desserts
“We like desserts that take fruits,
but use little sugar,” is the verdict
many homemak
ers give on the
dessert problem.
Thus, I’m includ
ing in today’s col
umn several des
serts that take
citrus fruits now
in season —fruits
that mean quick-pick-up from tired
ness because of the good nutritional
values.
As regards the sugar question,
most homemakers are finding they
can spare some sugar for cooking
or baking, and that is why our des
serts take some of that sweetening.
Don’t starve that sweet tooth en
tirely, for the body needs some car
bohydrate foods daily to meet the
large demands of daily energy.
These dessert recipes are tailor-
made to fit your budget and demand
for sweets.
Pie’s a favorite, and especially so
when it’s made with a cornflake
crust and luscious lemon custard
filling:
‘Lemon Custard Pie.
Crust:
114 cups cornflakes
IVi cups sifted flour
Vi teaspoon salt
% cup shortening
3 tablespoons water
Crush cornflakes into fine crumbs;
mix well with flour and salt. Cut in
shortening with pastry blender until
mixture looks like cornmeal. Mix
with water just to hold together and
let stand in icebox for about 2 hours.
Roll dough about Vs inch thick, line
pie pan with pastry and bake in a
hot oven (45C degrees) about 15 min
utes. Cool and fill shell with:
Lemon Custard:
1 cup milk
94 cup sugar
14 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
4 tablespoons cornstarch
14 cup water
3 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon butter
6 tablespoons lemon juice
6 tablespoons sugar for meringue
Bring milk, sugar, salt and lemon
rind to boiling point over direct
heat. Add corn
starch which has
been dissolved in
a little water and
cook in double
boiler for 5 min
utes. Beat egg
yolks until light.
Remove cooked mixture from egg
yolks and add to well beaten egg
yolks. Add butter and lemon juice.
Cool. Pour into pie shell. Top with
meringue made by beating in 6 ta
blespoons of sugar into the egg
whites, slowly, and whipping until it
stands in peaks. Bake in a 300-de-
Lynn Says:
The Score Card: Use sauer
kraut with pork if you like it. No
kraut will be canned, but the
USDA is helping producers to put
it up in barrels. It’s said barrel-
packed kraut has a superior fla
vor.
The postman may ring twice
but the laundryman can’t. Laun
dries may not deliver clean
clothes in the morning and pick
up soiled ones in the afternoon.
Everything must be done at the
same time.
War industries need gas, so it
is suggested you save on gas, in
every possible way if you are a
gas user. Economize it in cook
ing, water heating and refrigera
tion.
It looks like nationwide graded
meat is just around the corner.
The only thing holding it back is
a shortage of trained government
graders. Now, three out of four
“big” meat packers use grad
ing.

A trifle that isn’t a trifle is this
orange dessert—if you want some
thing pretty special for that day of
a special dinner. This is simple for
you can use leftover cake or sponge

3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon enriched flour
2 cups scalded milk
94 teaspoon salt

ar, flour, thor
oughly. Add hot milk slowly, cook
over hot water until thick, stirring
constantly. Cool promptly. Add salt
and flavoring. Pour over cake. Chill

Getting eggs and milk into the
diet in sufficient quantity to meet
the body’s demands sometimes pre
sents a problem but not if you in
clude a delightful honey custard for
dessert:
Baked Honey Custard.
4 cups scalded milk
8 tablespoons strained honey
4 to 6 eggs
94 teaspoon salt
Nutmeg or cinnamon
Scald milk in double boiler, add
honey. Beat eggs and add hot milk,

Bake in a slow (325-degree) oven
until knife comes out clean when in
serted in custard. Remove cups
from pan of water immediately
Serve hot or cold.

Five Different ‘Years’
Recognized by Science
Many races through many cen
turies have governed the length
of their year by various phenome
na—the seasons, the reappearance
of certain stars in certain places,
etc. Today science recognizes at
least five different “years.”
They include: 1—The civil or
calendar year of 365 days, or 366
days in Leap Year. 2—The anom
alistic year, the time between two
passages of the sun through the
perigee of the earth orbit, during
its apparent movement through
the star field, 365 days, six hours,
13 minutes, 49 seconds. 3—The
sidereal year, the time it requires
the sun to reach the same posi
tion among the fixed stars, 365
days, six hours, nine minutes, 9.3
seconds. 4—The tropical year,
the time between two passages
through the vernal equinox or
“First Point of Aries,” about 11
minutes less than 36594 days. 5—
The synodic year of 12 lunar
months, about 355 days.
One thing a soldier is afraid of
is a display of emotion. That’s
why his slang so often sounds de
rogatory. For example, he refers
to the sUver eagles on his colonel’s
shoulder straps as “buzzards.”
But when he speaks of his favorite
cigarette, he says: “Camels.”
They’re first with men in the
Army as well as with Sailors, Ma
rines, and Coast Guardsmen. (Ac
cording to actual sales records in
service men’s stores.) A gift of a
carton of Camels is always well
received. Local tobacco dealers
are featuring Camel cartons to
send to any member of our armed
forces. Hint for the day: Send
“him” a carton of Camels.—Adv.
