THE NEWBERRY SITN. NEWRKRRY. R. C. SERYICE Use Vegetables, Cheese to Serve For Meat Dishes Certain combinations of vege tables and cheese taste as if there were meat in them. Serve foods like this often if you find meat is scarce. Meat Savers When the meat supply is lean, every homemaker is confronted with the very acute problem of what to serve as a main dish. This becomes an acute problem when the men folk of the family require heavy foods that are both tissue building and satisfying. Fortunately there are many dishes that may be made with little meat that satisfy these require ments. Then too, if you have a dish with plenty of cheese, poul try. eggs or fish, this may be sub stituted for the main dish without any qualms as to whether it’s really good for the fam ily- When you do have meat, make the most of it. First, do not shrink it by cooking at too high a temper ature; and second, cut cff every edible piece and use it wisely. When you make anything that contains cheese, use a moderate temperature if you want the dish to be palatable, as a high tem perature makes cheese stringy and tough. Baked Cheese and Hominy.

Loan Aid to Veterans LYNN SAYS: Cooking Tips: To cook tough cuts of meat, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to meat before baking. Render fat from chicken and use for frying. Bacon drippings may also be used. Keep these fats well chilled so they do not become rancid. In making custard that calls for more eggs than you have on hand, one or more eggs may be emitted if 14 tablespoon of corn starch is added for each one omitted. In making fruit or berry pies, if the berries are too juicy, beat in one egg with the sugar and prevent juice from running too freely. Heat lemons and oranges by dipping in hot water, and they will yield juices more freely. Add a few grains of salt to coffee while making it to im prove flavor. When making applesauce cake, use ground apples instead of ap plesauce. Salad plates of fish and eggs are another meat saver. Prepare them attractively and the family will never think of missing the meat. Vegetable Meat Loaf. (Serves 6) 114 pounds hamburger 1 onion, sliced 14 cup bread or cracker crumbs 14 teaspoon salt 14 teaspoon pepper X egg 14 cup milk 1 cup finely shredded carrots 1 cup mashed potatoes 1 cup finely shredded cabbage Mix all ingredients together in order given.

Through August, 1946, Veterans’ administration has guaranteed a to tal of 293,931 home, farm and busi ness loans under the G.I. Bill, ac cording to an announcement by Thomas B. King, recently named director of VA loan guarantee ser- ice. King, who has been serving as assistant director, became active di rector upon the recent resignation of F. X. Pavesich, who formerly head ed the service. King is a navy vet eran with three years’ active duty in World War II. The total face value of VA guar anteed loans amounts to $1,429,331,- 000, of which the VA has guaranteed or insured $657,958,000 and of which approximately 90 per cent is for homes. Recent appointment of J. Glenn Corbitt, employee of Veterans’ ad ministration since 1924, in charge of the office of insular and foreign relations, takes the service of the VA abroad to look after veterans’ affairs and to co-ordinate with the department of state all activities in foreign countries. Questions and Answers Q. Has the state of Wisconsin ever given a bonus for World War II vet erans? Have any other states done so? I took out a government in surance policy while in the army in 1936 and 1937 for only nine months. It was a $1,000 policy, ordinary life. Could I get a cash surrender of this policy? If so, to whom do I write? —R. J. K., Oakland, Calif. A. Only three states now are pay ing veterans’ bonus to World War II veterans. They are Massachu setts, New Hampshire and Vermont. Maine passed a law subject to ref erendum but at the recent election voters rejected the law. Rhode Is land,- Illinois and Michigan have passed veterans’ bonus laws sub ject to a referendum at the Novem ber election. New York also has passed a similar law, but it must be approved by the next legislature and then be subject to a referen dum vote. No other states have as yet passed such laws. A peacetime government life in surance policy does have a cash sur render value. Suggest you write to Insurance Division, Veterans’ Ad ministration, Washington, D. C. Q. I would appreciate so much if I could hear from some of the boys who were in Company E, 182nd in fantry on Bougainville island in March, 1944. My son, James M. Smith Jr., was reported wounded March 11 and died Marrh 14. He was operating a machine gun. I have tried to get information con cerning his death from the chap lain and government officials and through the Red Cross. All I have heard is that he was hit by shell fragments and died shortly after reaching the hospital. Any informa tion you can give will be highly appreciated. — Mrs. James M. Smith, Route 1, Glen Allen, Ala. A. I hope boys of Company E, 182rd infantry, see this appeal and communicate with Mrs. Smith. Sug gest that you write to Casualty Branch, Office of Adjutant General, War Department, Washington 25, D. C., give them your son’s full name, serial number, rank and regi ment and all details you have. If they have additional information, they will inform you. Q. My husband, after being in the army since 1939, was discharged last March. After he had been out two weeks over his 90 days, he en listed in the navy for six years. I’ve been told I’ll get an allotment. I’d like to know if that is true. Also if> he is compelled to make out one to my child and myself. If so can he cancel it at any time he wants to? We have no divorce and are not planning one, but he tries not to sup port us if he can.—B.J.D., Denver, Colo. A. Usually the serviceman applies to his commanding officer for an allotment for his dependents. Is the child his child? If your husband does not apply for an allotment, then suggest that you write to the Chief, Navy Personnel, Navy De partment, Washington 25, D. C., and explain the situation and ask for the forms to make application for an allowance yourself. They will determine your eligibility. Q. My husband entered the serv ice September 3, 1942, and was dis charged September 2,1943.1 received only 10 allotment checks while he was in service. Am I entitled to any more allotments from the govern ment? I now am divorced from my husband.—Mrs. J. L. C., New Al bany, Miss. A. You are entitled to allotments from the time your husband applied for allotments. Suggest you write to the Bureau of Dependency Bene fits, U. S.

Model of Los Angeles One of the largest models of a city ever made in this country is the recently completed miniature replica of downtown Los Angeles, the purpose of which is to aid en gineers in planning civic develop ments, says Collier’s. Built on a scale of one inch to 50 feet, the model occupies 576 square feet, contains 65,000 buildings, required 120 man-years of labor and cost $100,000. But 115 Zoos Maintained In 26 Major Countries Although the educational value of public zoological gardens has been recognized for centuries, only 115 such parks are maintained to day in 26 of the 60-odd important countries. Of these zoos, which contain some 100,000 animals of 15,000 species, Africa has 4, Asia 7, Aus tralasia 5, Europe 48, South Amer ica 6 and North America 45, of which 40 are in the United States.

The new span, the first to have its design based on wind- tunnel tests of a model, will have $hock absorbers at numerous points. It will also have air slots in the floor which will enable it to with stand a wind nearly three times as strong as that which caused the former structure to crash.

'> *1 : F IRESTONE scores again with a revolutionary new tractor tire ... the FIRESTONE CHAMPION GROUND GRIP . . . which outcleans, outpulls, and outlasts every other tractor tire. The results of actual field tests, shown below, prove what this tire will do for you on your tractor. CLEAN UP TO 100% MORE EFFECTIVELY . . . The traction bars curve like a plowshare . . . flare outward to make a wider exit for mud and trash. The bars join in the center — no open centers to pick up trash and clog the whole tread. When the going is really tough, that’s when Champion Ground Grips clean up to 100% more effectively. PULL UP TO 62% MORE AT THE DRAWBAR . . . The pyramid-type, curved traction bars cut deeply into the soil with wedge-like action. The joined bars provide a powerful “center bite” right in the heart of the traction zone. This patented tread design gives up to 62% more drawbar pull. LAST UP TO 91% LONGER... Extra high trac- , tion bars, buttressed at the base and Triple-Braced ] in the center, have greater strength and stability. They don’t bend, break nor push through the cord body. They last longer on the highway because they don’t bounce nor wobble like unconnected hers. Under extreme conditions they give up to 91% longer traction life. See the new Firestone Champion.
