He slaves amid wintry scenes; He can’t live on hash where nor easters crash. And doesn’t care much for beans. He battles the cold and wintry gales. And harks to the skipper’s wish; His appetite is never quite light. And, boy, he gets sick of fish! Oh, tough is the life on a fishing smack. And hungry the crews do.grow; When hauling a net all icy and wet For dainties he’ll never go; A fisherman works on a rugged job, His appetite knows no whims; He likes a steak thick, and gets very sick Of any known food that swims. “TET’S go in and watch him work.” That’s what Ingrid Bergman said to me one day outside the sound stage at Selznick’s studio while Alfred Hitchcock was filming “Spellbound.” The actors in his pictures will al ways tell you that Hitch gives the best performance of any one on the set, just like Lubitsch. And the “Hitch- cock touch” or the “Lubitsch touch” has made their pictures a “must see” with millions. Hitchie’s quips and drol leries make smart dinner conversa tion for Holly wood’s duller souls. And yet he told Alfred Hitchcock me the other day there was nothing extraordinary about the suspense-packed pictures he makes. What passed for inspira tion with him was observation- watching what actually happens, filming only what could happen. We were in the living room of his Bel-Air home, looking through the window at golfers passing on the course a hundred yards distant. I’d gone up to welcome him back from England. I wanted to hear how the Hitchcock technique had been ap plied to propaganda pictures he di rected over there. He started right off by saying that one of these pictures wasn’t propa ganda at all. " ‘Bon Voyage,’ ” he explained, “was just a way of say ing thanks to the French people and the underground for all they’d risked in helping so many of our boys escape during the occupation. It’s a three-reel feature that tells the true story of the escape of an English flier and assistance given him.” “ ‘Bon Voyage,’ ” he said pride- fully, “was well received.” The English government did a mighty intelligent thing getting this “master of suspense” over to direct it. Ju*t Can’t Mist Hitch’s new picture is the much- talked-of “Spellbound,” with Greg ory Peck making love to Ingrid Bergman, mystery, suspense, psy chiatry, fantastic sets by Salvador Dali, and music by the symphony composer and conductor Miklos Rozsa. Hitch has his own theory about music. He gets a celebrated com poser to write music for him just so he can stop it. But just why, sir, do you get all that expensive music just to stop it? “You’ve seen people in danger?” asks Hitch. “People at some high point of tension? Let’s do a scene: We’re sitting in this room talking, when bang! just like that a bur glar enters and points a gun at us. “We freeze. We don’t move or breathe. Certainly we don’t talk. At any dramatic moment like this there comes a hush. When the danger is Over everybody starts jabbering. It’s a release to talk, they talk louder, laugh louder. “So in a psychological mystery there are appropriate intervals at which I want the music dramat ically stopped—with a hush! “Only ‘Spellbound’ isn’t just a mystery story. It’s a love story. There’s nothing unusual about it. It’s based on truth, psychiatric truth.” “What about ‘Foreign Correspond ent’ and ‘Lifeboat’?” I asked. Oh, hard is the life on the ocean cold, A little green salad? Bunk! No cheeses on rye will a fisher man’s eye fill, And eggplant a la king is punk; So, np with more points for the fish ing lads. And off with the iron lid! Some meat from a eow makes sea faring chow— And you keep the codfish, kid! 1. • • • Back Home Stuff. It appears that tripe is coming back. We just read of its reappear ance. A recipe called for its being put in a pot and simmered for two hours, then cut into cubes. • Phooey! Any such preparation would be a violating of the code of the old-fashioned tripe eater. Tripe was a common dish back home in our boyhood. Every butcher market carried it, good times or bad. And we had it in our house at least once a week. But no simmering and no cubes! The orthodox system was to cut it in slabs, bread it or roll it in flour and fry it to a golden brown. We have never been able to explain the decline and fall of honeycomb tripe. But we welcome it back. • • • China officially states that it is possible to stand an egg on end on the first day of spring (Chinese cal endar time). We will take an egg, on end or not, any time. Our quest is for a slice of bacon on its side or a slab of ham flat on its back. • • • We will never think our civiliza tion what it is cracked up to be until we see in front of the blood donor stations lines of Americans waiting as patiently and as long as they sit in front of stores ad vertising cigarette sales. “Same thing. In ‘Foreign Corre spondent’ it was a man hammering away at events, and the woman didn’t help things. There isn’t any thing in there that couldn’t happen. ‘Lifeboat’ is the same way.” Some More Plane “After ‘Spellbound,’ what?” I wanted to know. “ ‘Notorious,’ ” he said. “Just fin ished working on the script with Ben Hecht.” Then he went on to tell what a great guy Ben is. Says they collab orate so well that dialog becomes a kind of verbal shorthand, almost mental telepathy. Hitch feels his pictures are fin ished the day shooting begins. He says from then on it’s a matter of interpreting what has been created, and that it’s possible to get into the finished film only about 75 per cent of what the mind has pictured. In a world where 6 foot invisible rabbits can star in Broadway shows and in which the true story of an English flier’s escape from occupied France furnishes material for a Hitchcock chiller I can believe that there is nothing unusual in a Hitch cock picture—nothing, that is, ex cept the flair of the man who makes ’em. • • • No, Fane Don’t Forget Robert Cummings, who’s doing “You Came Along” for Hal Wallis, says actors who are in the service don’t need to worry about keeping their fans. Says his fan mail actual ly increased while he was out of pic tures for about two years. . . . Jeanne Crain gets the good part, With Gene Tierney playing the bad girl in “Leave Her to Heaven.” . . . Darryl Zanuck’s next will be “Ra zor’s Edge” with the same staff he nad for “Wilson.” Lamarr ’ rotti will write the screen play. Stew and Dumplings Are a Point-Saver (See Recipes Below) Meat Magic In 1944 the average civilian ate 143 pounds of meat. This year the outlook per civilian is estimated at about 134 pounds per person. It doesn’t take much mental arith metic to make us see that we’ll be doing with less meat this year than before—but then, you’ve prob ably already no ticed that trend at your butcher’s. As a nation we’re greater pork eaters than beef eaters, says a recent survey made by the govern ment, but that will have to change at least for this year. Pork loins, hams, shoulders, spareribs and ba con will continue to be scarce. The higher grades of beef are going to the armed forces, while lower grades of beef, though not abundant, will be more abundant. Veal supplies are quite scarce as are the top grades of lamb. All of this means one thing for Mrs. America. She will get less meat, and if she wants to get meaty flavor it will have to be stretched. If she doesn’t do that, she will have a few meals with meat and others without. There are good ways to stretch meat — old-fashioned ways like dumplings, bread dressings and stuffings, rice, macaroni, noodles and spaghetti. For those of you who choose having meat “as is” in your menus, there are delightful fish dishes to fill in the days when meat is unobtainable. When you want those precious red points to do the most work for you, buy the low-point cuts and dress them up with herbs, flavorful gravies and colorful vegetables. Here’s a lineup of recipes you’ll well appre ciate these days: *Lamb Stew With Dumplings. (Serves 6) 2 pounds lamb 2 tablespoons flour Salt and pepper 2 tablespoons lard 5 small potatoes 6 carrots 6 small onions 1 cup water Cut lamb breast, flank or neck meat into 1V4 inch cubes. Dredge in flour, then brown well on all sides in hot lard. Sea son, add water and simmer 1 Vt hours. Add vege tables. Cover and continue cooking until vegetables are tender. Drop dumplings on top of meat and vege tables. Cover and cook without re moving lid for 15 minutes. Dumplings. 2 cups sifted flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons lard 1 egg About 94 cup milk Lynn Says: Meat Needs Stretching: Bread and cracker crumbs are natural for extending ground meats like lamb, beef, pork or veal. Use for meat loaves and patties. Vegetables should start coming into their own for stretching stews, short ribs, roasts, etc. Carrots, onions, potatoes, green beans, tomatoes and cabbage are all mighty fine. Don’t neglect such dishes as meat pies with biscuit or mashed potato crusts. The meat mixture may be extended with gravy and vegetables. Make surprise meat balls with rice tucked inside. Or, stretch the roast or braised meat with noodles and rich gravy. Spaghetti and macaroni make a meal complete even if only a little meat is used. Use cream sauces with diced egg, seasoned tomato sauce or tasty gravy. Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving Menu. •Lamb Stew with Dumplings Fresh Pears-Lime Gelatin Salad Bran-Raisin Muffins Orange Marmalade Chiffon Pie Beverage •Recipe given. Sift together dry ingredients. Cut in lard. Break egg into a one-cup measuring cup. Beat slightly with fork and add enough milk to make 1 cup liquid. Add liquid to dry in gredients. Stir lightly. Drop by spoonfuls into boiling broth or stew. Cover tightly and cook for 15 min utes without peeking. Do not re move cover. Serve at once. This recipe makes six large dumplings. Liver is known as a variety meat because it has variety of texture and flavor. Here is a grand way to fix it: Liver Supreme.

Beef and pork liv- Jj ‘—T-j 22* er require 45 min- ^ utes cooking time while lamb and veal liver need 30 minutes. Whenever it’s possible, use a com bination of veal, pork and beef in your meat loaves. In the following recipe, the tastiness is increased by using sour cream, prepared mus tard, paprika and Worcestershire sauce. Lemon juice adds piquancy to the meat when used, while brown sugar gives a bit of sweetening that you will enjoy. Use a large sized loaf pan for baking or shape into loaf when baking in .a utility pan. Spicy Meat Loaf. (Serves 6 to 8) 1 pound ground beef 1 pound ground pork or veal 194 cups bread crumbs 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1 cup milk Salt and pepper 94 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon prepared mustard 1 teaspoon paprika 94 cup lemon juice or tomato catsup 2 teaspoons brown sugar Dash of Worcestershire sauce 94 cup hot water Combine ground meat or have it ground together.

Released by Western Newspaper Unlo»* Wind Strip-Cropping Halts Blowing of Soil Time at Hand to Plan For Future Protection k.—.—Improved UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL S UNDAY I chool Lesson BY HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. Released by Western Newspaper Union. Lesson for March 25 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission- THE LAST WEEK C'ARMERS are making more and F more use of wind strip-cropping to help protect the soil and increase food production in areas where bare, dry soils are subject to blowing by constant winds of high velocity, ac cording to the War Food adminis tration. When the fertile topsoil is removed, productivity of the affect ed land is immediately lowered, and will continue to decrease from year to year unless some means of stop ping the depletion is employed. Wind strip-cropping is the use of alternate strips placed at right an gles to prevailing winds, or in a con tinuous “S,” so that the winds can not blow parallel to the rows. Close- growing crops such as legumes, grasses and small grains are plant ed in alternate bands with cultivated crops, and when turned under as green manure replace nitrogen, or ganic matter and other plant food essential to fertility. If the strips are laid out on the contour, the wa ter conservation that results will of fer additional help in preventing the soil from blowing. Alternate strips of summer fallow and grain shorten the distance that loose soil can move during “rest pe riods.” When fallow and wheat are stripped together, for example, the stubble left after the wheat has been harvested will protect the fallowed land while it renews its fertility in preparation for the new grain crop. The old wheat strip will then go into fallow, in progressive rotation. In many areas where it is especial ly suitable, wind strip-cropping has replaced the earlier method of al ternating entire fields of fallow and crops. The movement of soil ex posed during winter and spring months is greatly reduced when the land is planted in alternate bands rather than in fields which would be open to the wind. The danger and severity of the winds must be taken into considera tion in planning the width of the strips. The stronger the blowing, the narrower the strips required to counteract its effect. Many barren wastes in America could be completely salvaged by proper wind strip-cropping. LESSON TEXT—Matthew 21:6-18. GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed is he that com- eth in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.—Matthew 21:9. Agriculture In the News By W. J. Dryden CORK OAK TREE The official presentation of Him self to the Jewish people as their King, their rejection of Him and, what was even more solemnly mean ingful, His rejection of the Hebrew nation because of their unbelief- such are the stirring events which face us as we go with our Lord into the last week of His earthly minis try. The first event in that sequence is the one we study in our lesson for today, namely, the coming of the King to Jerusalem. I. Preparation and Presentation (vv. 6, 7). The King comes, but even in His hour of royal triumph He gives to His followers the unexplainable but inestimable joy of meeting His need. I. “The Disciples Did As Jesus Appointed” (v. 6). He had need of disciples who would do His bidding without question or hesitation. How precious is such obedience! Let us also ~gt> and do what He commands. He needed the colt and the ass. How simple and lowly was that need, and yet how glorious that man was ready to meet it! God’s plans are worked out in the little things as well as the great. Prophecy was being fulfilled here (see v. 5) by a little thing. Is God waiting to carry out some great pur pose through some little thing which you are withholding from Him? Why hinder Him any longer? ?. “And He Sat Thereon” (v. 7). Though He did not come with the pomp and trappings of an earthly potentate, the King of Glory came to His people to offer them for the last time the opportunity to receive Him. He asks you to yield your life to His kingship. What will your answer be? II. Acceptance and Rejection (w. 8-11, 15, 16). 1. “The Multitude . . Cried . . . Hosanna” (w. 8-11). The fact that before the week was over some of the same voices cried, “Crucify him!” should not obscure the fact that there were childlike believers (v. 16) who really had faith in Christ. There is something inspiring about that picture of enthusiasm and de votion. Real faith in Christ ought to result in a fervor of spirit which will stir our hearts and our cities. Are we not altogether too dead and formal in much of our worship to day? Do we not need more holy enthusiasm for Christ and for His Church? 2. “The Chief Priests and Scribes . . . Were Sore Displeased” (w. 15, 16). Small wonder, for not only had the children put them to open shame by recognizing the Christ whom they had ignored, but He had also ruined their polite religious “racket” which produced for them such a lovely profit. Mark this—when anyone is dis pleased with Jesus or with His chil dren or with His work on earth, you can be sure that there is a reason, and not a holy, upright or good rea son either! Cork oak tree cultivation is limit ed in the United States by two fac tors, drouth and severe winter temperatures. The tree has with stood a minimum temperature of five degrees be low zero along the Atlantic sea board. It is be lieved to have survived even lower tempera tures in the moun tains of Spain. Poor drainage or rainfall below 20 inches per year are not conducive to proper growing conditions. The federal government’s forest service is encouraging the planting of cork trees. Not only do they serve a national need, but prove valuable additions to pastures and general shades for the farmstead. The present most critical use for cork is the making of engine gas kets. Other uses for cork are insu lation, floor and wall coverings, bot tle stoppers, com caps, handles for fishing rods, shoe insoles, linoleum, friction pads and life preservers and rafts. Pre-Calving Care First calf heifers need more grain than cows, because they must con tinue to grow after they begin milk ing. The quantity of grain to feed such heifers beginning about three months before freshening should de pend somewhat upon the character of the roughage. Two pounds a day is enough at first. This should be gradually increased until five or six pounds are eaten. The plan must be to have the animals in good flesh but not fat. . III. Judgment and Compassion (vv. 12-14). What a remarkable picture! In the midst of flaming judgment and destruction we find His loving Com passion upon the blind and the lame. Folk who think that Christ has no message but love need to look on Him as He cleanses the temple. On the other hand, those who think that He has no word but judgment need to behold Him as He stands in the midst of the overturned tables and debris and heals the needy. 1. “Jesus Cast Out . . . and Over threw” (w. 12, 13). He knew where to begin to cleanse the city. He started in the temple. Absolutely right is the man who suggested that the place to start to clean up a city is not in the slums but in the churches. You will not be ready to clean out the tavern or tljat other low place where the gang hangs out in your town until you have cleaned out the church if sin is being harbored there. The same is true of the individual. A regenerated heart will bring a reformed life, not vice versa. You can live only after you have been born. 2. “He Healed Them” (v. 14). The very bands which had just over thrown the tables and cast out the money-changers now gently touched the lame and the blind with healing. The eyes which had blazed with holy indignation now shone with love and compassion. The scene of judgment and chaos became the house of prayer and of answered prayer. On the very spot where one man had received condemnation, another re ceived healing. Each one received that which He sought by his own attitude and action. How will you, my dear reader, meet Jesus—as your Judge or as your Sa viour? You must make the choice. Choose Christ today.
