ON THE
E FRONT,
t-IERE the lid of a reclaimed
*■ phonograph cabinet is turned
upside down and screwed to a
wooden box to make a portable
container for your mending. Half
the time required for mending is
usually taken up in getting every
thing together at a convenient
time. This portable stand
equipped and ready can be placed
beside your easy chair in a jiffy
with everything handy to make
mending for victory a pleasant
task.
If you can’t find a pair of old
metal drawer handles there are
many designs at the dime stores
made of composition and wood.
The lid may be painted or stained
as desired and the box will be
masked by the full skirt tacked to
the under part of the lid edge. If
you wish to line the upper part,
cut pieces of cardboard to fit the
sides and bottom. Cover these
with chintz; add a strip of belt
ing ribbon to the side sections,
catching it down to make holders
for equipment; then glue the sec
tions in place.

The World
Food Problem
By Herbert Hoover
(WNU Feature—Through special arrangement
with Collier’a Weekly)
There are more Horsemen that
follow modern war than at the time
the Apocalypse was written. In
modern total war, Famine and Pesti
lence are accompanied by four new
recruits—whose names are Revolu
tion, Unemployment, Suspicion and
Hate. These additional destroyers
make the job harder to manage.
That there is and will be famine
in this world of today, needs little
demonstration. Already 148,000,000
people in the occupied democracies
in Europe and Asia are short of food;
millions of them are actually starv
ing, and our Allies are obviously run
ning on very short rations.
The Nazis’ food supply is sufficient
for their evils of today. They are
working hordes of prisoners on the
farms and robbing some of the oc
cupied territories. But their inter
nal production will grow worse as
the war goes on and there is less
to steal from the subjected peoples.
In fact, the whole of Europe will
continue to degenerate in domestic
food supply. The reasons for that
are simple enough: Europe in
peacetime—and by Europe I mean
Britain and all of Europe excluding
Russia—has to import large amounts
of food for human beings. That is
now cut off by the blockade, except
to Britain, and some small amounts
to the neutral countries.
Decline in Field Crops.
On top of this, under the pressure
of total war, field crops decline year
by year. Manpower and horsepow
er are increasingly drained to the
war; farm implements cannot be re
placed; fertilizers are diverted to
explosives; planting is less effective,
and harvesting less perfect. Also,
the animals in Europe are in con
siderable degree dependent upon im
ported feed. In consequence of the
blockade, some part of the dairy and
breeding herds must be slaughtered
early in total war, and domestic feed
for the remaining animals decreases
because more fields must be turned
to direct food for humans—and still
more of the flocks and herds must
be slaughtered.
In the last war, the principal food
animals of Europe—cattle, hogs and
sheep—decreased by over 70,000,000
head, and that is again taking place.
The invaluable chicken vanishes,
and fishing is greatly diminished.
Thus the stream of animal products
steadily decreases. To all this must
be added the ravages of armies and
scorched-earth policies.
Nor will famine this time be lim
ited to Europe, for these causes are
also working in Asia and Russia.
It is difficult for Americans to
picture widespread hunger or star
vation. We have not had such a
thing in America.
What Starvation Means.
Nation-wide hunger and starvation
mean grim suffering, incalculable
grief over wilting children, physical
degeneration, stunted growth, dis
torted, embittered minds and death.
Its lasting effect is one of degree
and time. Adults can recuperate
from months of undernourishment.
Children can stand less. In fact, the
undersized, rickets, aj^d the death
rate among children are the sensi
tive barometers of starvation. Not
even during our Civil war was there
a town or city where these effects
reached one-tenth of what they are
in certain cities of the occupied
democracies at this moment.
From all food shortages comes the
danger of pestilence. People do not
often die directly from starvation.
Their resistance is weakened and
they fall easy prey to contagions.
Moreover, people consume their
available fat supplies and have lit
tle or none left for soap. Uncleanli
ness invites such scourges as typhus
—which is transmitted by body lice.
There is another vital peril in this
question. Unless these masses of
people in scores of nations can have
food and be protected from pesti
lence, there can be no social or
political or spiritual stability upon
which peace can be built.
We had a parallel experience with
this problem after the First World
war. In that famine, America bore
the major load of supplies, finance
and administration. Except for
American food preparedness there
would then have been the greatest
sacrifice of human life in all history.
That America succeeded in its task
is evidenced by grateful statements
of every government in Europe.
No nation had ever undertaken
such a mission before. We had to
pioneer through the thickets and
swamps of governmental, social,
financial and economic problems, in
cluding human nature in the raw.
From that experience, we can make
some estimate as to the need next
time, the source of supplies, and the
strategy and tactics necessary to de
feat both famine and pestilence and
to set millions upon the road back
to strength and health.

Fish Fulfills Protein
Needs of the System
Fish fillets served with juicy lemon
wedges and generous garnishes of
radish roses and parsley make an
attractive main dish.
Fish Is Flavorful
One very direct and effective way
of meeting the meat shortage is by
serving fish in its

many delectable
ways. Few fami
lies have been
initiated into the
many ways cf
preparation for
fish, few know
how succulent are
their steaks when baked, or how
tart and crisp are fillets when fried.
Bones have been removed from
many types of fish so this need con
cern the cook little. If they have
not already been removed, this can
be done easily since they are usu
ally together.
French Fried Fish Fillets.
Desired number and kind of fish
fillets
1 egg, well beaten with 1 table
spoon water
Crumbs, corn meal, flour or po
tato meal
Salt and pepper
Salad oil for frying
Wash fillets in cold water, drain
on absorbent paper. Sprinkle with
salt and pepper; dip first in dry
coating—(crumbs or other if pre
ferred), then in egg mixture and
tgain in dry coating. Place in deep
salad oil—(375 to 385 degrees)—or
hot enough to brown a 1-inch cube
of bread in 40 to 50 seconds.
Fish is good when baked—espe
cially with tomatoes and green pep
per:
•Baked Whitefish, Creole.
(Serves 5 to 6)
2V4 pounds whitefish, cleaned and
boned
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons batter
1 small onion, chopped
M cap green pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon flour

grees) for 15 minutes. Melt 2 ta
blespoons of butter in saucepan and
add chopped onion and green pep
per. Simmer five minutes. Add
flour and blend thoroughly. Then
add tomato soup, salt and Worces
tershire sauce. Cook until mixture
thickens, then pour it over the par
tially baked whitefish. Return to
oven for 20 minutes more or until
fish flakes easily.
Halibut is another good, substan
tial dish. Mild in flavor, it needs a
tart sauce to pick up its delicate
flavors:

Halibut Steaks.
Have center cut slices of halibui
steak cut one inch thick, salt and
pepper them and dredge lightly with
flour. Fry to a light brown in but
ter. Remove to a platter and covei
with sliced sauteed mushrooms, us
ing about a pound for 2 steaks. Over
this pour the following sauce:
Stew 1 No. 2 can of tomatoes with
1 cup of chopped celery, V4 chopped
green pepper and
1 large chopped
onion. When vege
tables are tender,
run all through a
coarse sieve. Into
this melt V* pound
of grated cheese,
I tablespoon of
butter, and salt and pepper to taste.
Heat fish thoroughly in oven and
just before serving sprinkle with
cheese and run under flame to
brown.
There’s distinction in salmon when
it’s combined with discreet season
ing—lemon juice and tomato:
Baked Salmon Slices.
Salmon cat in individual servings
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons lemon
1 teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
1 onion
1 tomato
Baeon strips
Brush slices of fish on both sides
with the oil. Place in a baking
dish, sprinkle with the lemon juice,
salt and pepper. Then lay a thin
slice of onion on each piece. Cover
onion with a Vi-inch slice of tomato
and top with a strip of bacon cut in
two. Place in moderate oven (350
degrees) for 45 minutes.
Salmon Fondne.
(Serves 6)
5 slices bread
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup flaked, cooked salmon
3 eggs, separated
Vi teaspoon salt
Vi cup grated American cheese
Trim crusts from bread and cut
into %-inch cubes. Heat milk in
double boiler, add
bread cubes, but
ter, liquid from
salmon, and well-
beaten egg
yolks. Season with
salt and cook un
til thickened, stir
ring constantly. Remove from heat
and stir in cheese. Cool for 10 to 15
minutes. Beat egg whites stiff and
fold into mixture. Pour into greased
baking dish. Place dish in pan of
warm water and bake in a moder
ate (350-degree) oven for 1 hour or
until a knife when inserted comes
out clean.
Note: Chopped shrimp, flaked tuna
or minced clams or oysters may be
used in place of the salmon.
Sauces for Fish: They’re a
must with fish because they make
it most delicious dish. You’ll
like browned butter with lemon
juice and Worcestershire sauce.
Or, just cream the butter and
season with lemon juice.
Horseradish is popular With
fish. Take V4 cup drained, pre
pared horseradish, season with
salt and pepper and one table
spoon vinegar, then fold in V4
cup of whipped cream.
Tartar is not just another name H ’
for sauce, it’s an affinity with fish
fillets. Make it by adding 1 tea
spoon minced onion, 2 teaspoons
chopped, sweet pickle, 1 teaspoon
chopped green olives, and 1 ta
blespoon vinegar to % cup may
onnaise.
Make a cup of medium-thick
white sauce and add to this %
cup grated cheese and let the
cheese melt. Or, 2 chopped, hard-
boiled eggs added to white sauce,
make a golden crown for baked
or fried fish.
A platter of fish with broccoli and
corn fulfills a good portion of daily
dietary requirements.
An early touch of spring goes into
the menu with a fresh green salad:
Toss-Up Salad.
(Serves 6)
Vi head lettuce
1 enp diced celery
2 fresh tomatoes
2 hard-cooked eggs

BIBLE TEACHINGS AGAINST
DRUNKENNESS
LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 30:18. 17; Isaiah
28: 1-4. 7: Galatians 5:18-21.
GOLDEN TEXT—"Strong drink shall b.
bitter to them that drink It.”—Isaiah 24:9.
Sowing and reaping is one of those
universal laws which applies in all
realms of life. What we sow we
reap, whether in the farmer’s field,
in our national life, or in the life of
the individual. It is true physically,
mentally, morally and spiritually.
How surprising then that intelli
gent Americans think we can go on
with the use of intoxicants which
have destroyed other nations and ex
pect to escape the same sad conse
quences. Professional men have
wrecked their careers, business men
lost their hard earned positions, and
rich men dissipated their inherit
ances; and at the same time each
of them has fallen into moral decay
—all through their inability to con
trol their desire for drink. Yet we
continue to license its sale, and so
another generation of young men
must meet the same temptation.
Our lesson presents three results
of drunkenness.
I. Military Defeat (I Sam. 30:16,,
17).
A crisis in the life of King David
is related in this chapter. The
Amalekites had taken Ziklag. The
king and his family were prisoners,
held by a host of barbarous men
far too strong for them to oppose.
He inquired of God and was told to
attack. With his little army of 400
men he defeated them. Why? Be
cause in a 'drunken debauch they
were celebrating their victory of the
day before.
This was not the first, nor the
last, time that military defeat fol
lowed indulgence in alcoholic bev
erages. It has happened even in the
present war. Have we learned the
lesson? Will we avoid that danger?
In this country our armed forces
and defense workers are constantly
exposed to temptation—and how
many of them fall, anyone may
know who ha§ eyes to see.
From distant battlefronts come
disquieting reports that intoxicants
are among the “supplies” which find
quick transportation to the very
front, where they are soon put to
their destructive use.
H. National Decay (Isa. 28:1-4, 7).
Isaiah was a mighty voice against
moral corruption, and for the right
eousness of God. With true prophetic
insight he saw beneath the outward
prosperity and apparent glory of his
people, and exposed the sins which
would soon destroy them as a na
tion. Outstanding among these de
structive forces was drunkenness.
Turning first to the northern kingr
dom of Israel (for the nation had
now been divided), he tells them
that though their valleys may be
fertile and their cities resplendent,
the collapse of all their boasted
greatness will surely come if they
live in revelry and drunkenness.
He speaks of the coming of “the
mighty and the strong one” (v. 2)
who will be like a destroying storm.
He refers to Assyria—itself an un
godly people, but used of God to
scourge His own people who had
become indulgent and sinful.
There is a truth here which we
need to learn. When nations forget
God and fail in their responsibilities
to Him and to their fellow men;
when they become vain and self in
dulgent, God will bring judgment
upon them. He may use as His in
strument nations who are them
selves pagan, to accomplish His pur
pose.
The people should be led in re
pentance and righteousness by their
religious leaders. How sad that some
set an example in the other direc
tion. Others who live personal lives
above reproach are silent on these
important questions lest they give
offense to someone who may make
it difficult for them. How sad!
IH. Eternal Destruction (Gal.
5:19-21).
Military loss and national declen
sion should be enough to align every
right thinking person against intoxi
cants. But far worse is the fact
that they bring many, many men
and women into eternal separation
from God.
In this passage “drunkenness and
revellings” find their proper place
with the other works of the flesh
which close the door to the kingdom
of God. There is no use trying to
dismiss or cover it up as the un
fortunate weakness of an otherwise
nice person, or the natural result
of a bit of social fellowship.
America has too long regarded a
drunken person as a joke—or at most
a bit of a nuisance to be indulged
and tolerated. The Bible says that
“they who practice such things shall
not inherit the kingdom of God”
(v. 21).
That is plain enough, isn’t it? Mr.
Drinker, outside or inside the
church, had you better not think
about that before you drink again?
Church of Christ, is it not time for
you to do something more effective
to deliver the young men and women
of America from the constant temp
tation now placed before them?
