THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY, S. C.
ABOUT NEW YORK
The rare Chinese fruits hawked
in Chinatown are grown on Long
Island. . . . Waterfront workers have
names for various piers. They are
usually named after gals. . . . De
spite the legend that Manhattan is
all stone and steel, the borough is
dotted with more than a hundred
parks. . . . Thirty-two years after
Columbus discovered America the
strip of land known as Manhat
tan was discovered by Giovanni da
Verrazanno. There isn’t even a
street named after him.
The lower end of Manhattan (be
tween the Battery and 14th St.) is
the oldest section of the city. . . .
During the 17th century Wall street
was the favorite hangout for pirates.
Coin your own wisecrack. . . .
Greenwich Village originally at
tracted struggling artists and scriv
eners because rents were cheap
there. . . . Only one railroad has
entry for its freight into Manhattan
by land—the bulk of the railroad
freight must be transshipped by
tug and barge.
Meals in the city’s hoosegows
are planned by expert dieti
cians. No room service, how
ever. . . . The Battery derives
its name from a British fort
that was once situated there.
. . . South St. is dominated by
the sea. Sou’westers, sea boots,
pea jackets, dungarees and oth
er equipment for mariners are
displayed in shop windows along
this sector.
Chinatown’s notorious Tongs now
are peaceful benevolent societies.
. . . West St. is a man-made street.
It used to be under water. . . . Those
grimy edifices near Battery place
reveal their pre-Civil war glory in
carved lintels, arched doorways and
ornate cornices. ... If you want to
view the Big Burg’s pell-mello-
drama in action, go to the water
front—where tunnels, railroads, fer
ryboats, subways, buses and road
traffic clutter the sector with all
types of transportation carrying
passengers and products to and
from the city. . . . Some of the
Bowery’s dismal buildings contain
secret passages—once used as hide
outs for criminals.
The pungent \aromas around
Reade St. emanate from the huge
warehouses there stored with coffee,
tea and spices. . . . Syrian confec
tionery shops at the foot of Wash
ington St. have the most unusual
and tastiest goodies in town. . . .
The most colorful edifice is the West
ern Union bldg. It’s stacked with
13 different shades of bricks. . .
Hart’s Island prison hasn’t any
cells—only dormitories. Hmf. Such
airs! . . . There are dusty tablets
marking almost every historic New
York event. The plaque on the build
ing in Exchange alley marks the
site of the residence of the first
white men on Manhattan.
The Big Town’s least known
government bureau is the art
commission. It okays the de
signs of all public buildings and
works of art. . . . Didja know
Radio City studios are coated
with a special sound-insulating
glue? . . . The architect who
supervised the building of city
hall received S6 per day—a
very good salary at that time.
. . . No one need go hungry or
homeless in our burg. The de
partment of welfare is ready to
provide food and shelter for all
unfortunates. Then howcum
there are so many panhand
lers?
Tombs prison derived its funereal
name from its predecessor on that
site, which resembled an Egyptian
tomb. ... If you want a unique ex
perience, see the Chinese films ex
hibited on the Bowery. . . . Central
park was built as a relief project
during a depression.
Quilts hanging on poles adver
tise g market for bed linens on
Grand St. . . . Criminologists from
many parts of the world witness the
police department’s daily line-up.
. . . The Bowery slums were
once the site of lavish farms. The
Dutch word for farm is bouwerij.
. . . The stretch between Delancey
and Houston Sts. is jocularly known
as Thieves’ Market. Those who have
small objects to exchange or sell
congregate there. . . . Eighty per
cent of the Waldorf is built over the
tracks of the New York Central. . . .
The income from the elegant resi
dential district between Fifth Ave.
and University PI. goes to support a
home for poor sailors. The owner
made that request in his will.
Fourth Ave. has the longest row of
second-hand book emporiums. Five
blocks long. . . . One hotel in Green
wich Village supplies chess sets
gratis for its intellectual guests. . . .
Poets tack their verses on a fence
along Thompson St.—and offer them
to passersby for two bits. . . . Allen
St. is a study in contrasts: Its
shops showcase the most priceless
antiques as well as the cheapest
machine-made articles. . . . The
Lexington thittir lobby features an
ornate fountain mit live goldfish.
Woman's World
Sew Children’s Clothes at Home,
Say Women Who Would Save
d3y (ddrtta ^Jlale
t
««¥ DON’T know how I’d manage
i the budget if I didn’t sew the
children’s clothes at home,” is what
many women say to me. The saying
of a few years ago, that it wasn’t
worth the effort to sew at home
because things were so inexpensive,
no longer holds water. It’s just the
other way around now, so buy your
material, lady, and get busy at the
sewing machine.
Pajamas, nighties and even robes
are really so simple to make at
home, that even the novice can
whip through one of these garments
in about two or three hours. The
material and fit of-the garments to
say nothing of the workmanship is
bound to be superior to what is now
available in the finished product.
Materials are now coming to the
market more readily, and it’s fairly
easy to find cottons, percale, broad
cloth, seersucker, muslin, flannel or
flannelette, challis and knitted wool
ens for pajamas and gowns. Pat
terns are easy to follow, and you
can even make them yourself if
you’re experienced at tracing from
worn underwear.
Pajamas are one item where you
can economize on sewing at home
for the whole family. For the young
sters you may choose the two-piece
kind inasmuch as they’re the
simplest to construct. I say this
merely because one-piece pajamas
necessitate buttons and buttonholes
and you can save a half an hour of
time in sewing if you use the two-
piece type.
Here is a wonderfully simple way
for making nightwear. First of all,
have patterns and material ready
If you want to tconomizt . . .
and make sure you know just what
steps to follow. A good idea is to
brush up on the instructions the
evening before so you’ll know exact
ly what comes next.
Assembly Line Technique
Easy to Use for Pajamas
Cut all the pajamas you are go
ing to make and pin each one to
gether as you cut it. As you are
pinning them, sort them into the
piles you have to sew first, sec
ond, etc. In another pile, place fac
ings and bands, pockets and cuffs;
in other words, those pieces that
are applied flat. Join shoulder
seams, apply neck bands, sew in
sleeves. Do all your hemming and
basting, if necessary, at one sitting,
then all machine sewing at another
sitting.
Work on a large table and cut
out several garments at the same
time while you have all your equip
ment out. Work goes much faster if
you can “specialize” a bit on your
different tasks.
Fabrics for pajamas and night
gowns should be selected primarily
for their durability and ease of
washability. Any of the fabrics
named previously will do the job
thoroughly. Unless you really have
time to spare, these fabrics need
not be ironed before wearing. Just
Make children’s clothes at home.
make sure that they are washed
clean, hung properly, and then fold
ed and tucked away in drawers un
til the next wearing. If desired, you
may add decorative stitches or sim
ple trimming like ric rac or col
orful binding to these clothes. Little
boys don’t go for this sort of thing,
but your daughter might like some
pretty feminine touches on her gar
ment.
Active youngsters as well as the
oldsters should have pajamas that

designer Peg Fischer, is an ele

pletes the ensemble.
are cut generously. There are bound
to be restless nights when the chil
dren toss and turn while sleeping,
and their garments should be de
signed to give them freedom of
action. Let the armholes particular
ly be large and roomy, the legs
wide enough without being too
baggy. Avoid having the legs too
long as they will only get in the
way.
Consider Comfort First
In Making Pajamas
If however, the children seem to
be sprouting more quickly than you
can keep them in clothes, you may
have generous hems on the pajama
legs which can be taken down as
they grow.
For the younger children it may
be practical and even advisable to
make pajamas with the feet. Many
mothers feel that this comes in
handy if the child should unwittingly
throw off his covers during the
night. For smaller children it is
nice to have a back belt that can
be slipped through the side seam
belt. loops to tie in front. The young
ster can adjust this type of garment
easily, and it eliminates buttons.
There’s nothing so important as
good stitching, especially where it
concerns a much worn garment
such as the pajama. Set the ma
chine correctly with thread and fab
ric so that stitches will be even.
You’ll save a lot of time mending
if you take this little precaution.
To finish the pajama properly, use
a pinking shears on all simple
seams. This may be employed dur
ing the cutting, and then this part
of the garment will be finished. Cot
tons are easy to cut with pinking
shears and no problems will arise
if the shears are in good condition.
For the seams on the inside of
the pants, a french or flat fell seam
is best because it lies flat and will
be more comfortable than any other
type. True, it takes slightly longer
to make, but the pajama will be
more comfortable for it.
Knitted Lingerie
By laundering carefully and
ironing the fabric of your knitted
lingerie intelligently, you can
preserve its good looks and add
to its life.
Always iron on the wrong side,
using a well padded ironing
board. Follow the grain of the
material as you let your iron
sweep over the garment. Never
pull or stretch the fabric.
Lace and embroidery should be
pressed on the wrong side, and
this is best done over a soft towel
or a pad.
When’ you iron an unfamiliar
fabric for the first time, beware
of the temperature of your iron.
Start with a warm iron, and if
the wrinkles don’t come out eas
ily. .gradually increase the heat
until the iron glides smoothly
over the garment, pressing out
the wrinkles readily.
For rayon crepe and satin, use
a moderately hot iron. The fab
ric should be almost dry when
ironed.
Soft, spun rayons take a hot
iron, but the fabric should be
bone dry.

C OASTING Janet Blair in a
> co-starring role in “The
Fabulous Dorseys” was a smart
move on the part of Producer
Charles R. Rogers. The role is
that of a beautiful girl with sing
ing and dancing talent who’s a
neighbor of the Dorseys in Penn
sylvania. Well—Janet hails from
Altoona, Pa., and emerged into the
limelight as a band singer before
coming to Hollywood. Incidentally,
the Dorseys say it’s lucky they were
such fighters, because otherwise they
might not have been so successful.
They worked together as long as
they could, trying to direct one band
jointly. The break came, Tommy
went his way alone, Jimmy went his
—result, two top-notch bands.

Tom Conway is fast becoming the
top whodunit actor in show business.
He plays “Sherlock Holmes” on
ABC Saturday nights, and has just
completed his tenth mystery pic-
TOM CONWAY
ture, “The Falcon’s Adventure.” If
Basil Rathbone carries out his plan
to forsake the screen, Conway may
be chosen to succeed him as the
cinema “Sherlock.” And all without
trading on his relationship to his
brother, George Sanders.

Kay Gorcey, wife of Groucho
Marx, has been signed to appear
with her husband in a comedy dance
routine for the Sam Coslow produc
tion, “Copacabana,” a forthcoming
United Artists release, with Carmen
Miranda, Andy Russell, Steve Coch
ran and Gloria Jean.
Ken Niles, announcer for “Sus
pense,” has been signed to play the
role of the attorney in Robert
Mitchum’s RKO picture, "Out of the
Past.” You may be familiar with
the story under the really good origi
nal title, which was “Build My Gal
lows High.”
Lowell Thomas was all set to
make teaching his life work, till he
took a trip to Alaska and made some
unusual films of primitive mining
communities. Later, teaching at
Princeton, he lectured a few times,
using his films as illustrations. It
proved to be so profitable that he
abandoned teaching, and he’s been
! traveling the world and getting paid
for it ever since.
Andrew Toombs, character actor
who crashed films because of his
bald head, has played more than 200
bald-head roles in pictures. But he
gets the break of a lifetime in War
ners’ Technicolor musical, “My Wild
Irish Rose”—wears a flowing head
i of hair, appropriately parted in the
middle, for his role of a bartender of
the Gay Nineties. Incidentally, Den
nis Morgan’s doing road work to
keep in trim for the picture; he
hasn’t done a strenuous vocal chore
since “The Desert Song,” and finds
singing more taxing than merely
making love.
Chet Lauck and Tuffy Goff (“Lum”
and “Abner”) have a new protege.
She’s Ruth Parrot, who played a
lady barber on their program. Her
performance interested 20th Cen
tury-Fox talent scouts, and she land
ed a role in “Mother Wore Tights.”
Now Chet and Tuffy say they can
hardly wait for the picture to be
released, so that they can begin tak
ing bows for discovering her in the
first place.
Andy Devine’s been signed to a
long-term contract by Republic, aft
er being with Universal for a num
ber of years. His latest Universal
picture is Walter Wanger’s “Canyon
Passage,” his first at Republic will
be “Bells of San Angelo,” a Western.
Hiram Brown, producer-director
of the CBS “Inner Sanctum,” got
the idea for the program six years
ago when he heard a squeaking door
in a radio sound effects department.
He acquired the door, and has pre
sented the weekly shriek and shud
der show ever since!

Fashion Flashes
Look for less tailored dresses
in the casual line. One-piece dresses
with surplice necklines seem to be
the coming thing. These are not
quite so tailored, and may be just
the thing for busy afternoons of shop
ping or calling.
Designers are more and more in
terested in easy fitting in their new
gowns, so look for this feature when
you are purchasing your next dress.
Just as the winter dress is ex
quisitely simple in its cut and line,
so are the classics soon to appear
in the stores. The dresses already
seen, especially those in linen, are
beautifully tailored.
You’ll be seeing white combined
with an interesting array of prints,
among them batik and paisley.
These are bound to be flattering to
young and old alike.

Low-priced lamb shoulder may be
used for these lamb pieces prepared
on skewers. They broil quickly and
make a palatable dinner when you
want to cook in a jiffy.
Recent visits to the market have
convinced me that most education
about meat cook
ery was forgotten
during rationing
and shortages.
Most of us
worked ourselves
into a sort of a
rut about meats
and now find that
we need a brush-
up course on
meat cookery.
Meat should satisfy and to do so
it must be properly prepared. If
broiling is what the cut needs, make
sure your temperature is high
enough to do the job decently. But
if it’s braising, make sure the heat
is slow and steady and the cooking
moist.
Here are a few of the things you
ought to remember when buying
meat: First of all, become ac
quainted with a variety of cuts so
that you can better manage your
budget and give the family much-
needed menu variety. Ask. the
market man for advice. He can give
you tips on specials and hfelp you
get more for your money.
If you have meats boned at the
market, always ask for the bones to
take home. They’re wonderful for
flavoring soups, sauces and vegeta
bles. When you purchase large cuts,
have some steaks or chops removed
for another meal. There won’t be
so many leftovers, and you will be
able to get more variety from the
large cuts.

LYNN SAYS:
Cook Meats Correctly
For Palatability
If you are making hamburgers,
remember that loosely put together
patties will be much more tender
than those which are patted tightly.
If hamburgers contain only beef,
they may be cooked rare; if they
have any pork in them, cook them
well done.
Canned meats and ready-to-eat
meats are a supper saver. They
may be pan-fried or broiled for add
ed relish.

A well prepared beef or veal
tongue is delightful. Those who have
learned to eat it reserve it for spe
cial occasions. Long slow cooking
such as is received in braising is
designated for preparing this delec
table dish.
Braised Tongue, Vegetable Gravy.

V£ cup diced onions

3 tablespoons flour
1V4 cups liquid in which tongue

Wash tongue and cover with wa
ter. Add salt, cover and simmer
until tender, allowing 4 hours. Trim
and remove skin. Slice tongue and
place in pan with vegetables. Make
a smooth paste of flour and water,
adding liquid and seasonings. Pour
sauce over tongue and vegetables.
Simmer for 1 hour. Serve with po
tatoes boiled in their jackets.
An interesting variation to the
meat course comes in the way of
lamb en brochette, pieces of inex
pensive meat placed on skewers.
These are broiled and go beautifully
with a dinner of baked, whipped po
tatoes, buttered lima beans, a vege
table salad and fruit whip for des
sert.
A broiler dinner prepared in a
few minutes consists of tomatoes,
lamb patties and boiled potatoes
sprinkled with cheese.
Lamb en Brochette.
(Serves 6)
2 pounds lamb shoulder, cut in
1-inch cubes
1 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon brown sugar
teaspoon poultry seasoning
Salt and pepper
Cover lamb with vinegar, sea
soned with celery salt, mustard,
brown sugar and poultry seasoning.
Let stand 1 hour. Thread onto skew
ers and place on a rack in a pre
heated broiler oven. Brown well on
all sides and broil. Season with salt
and pepper.
For something a little different,
try this stuffed shoulder of lamb:
Fruit-Stuffed Shoulder of Lamb.
1 lamb shoulder, boned
2 cups bread crumbs
6 cooked apricots, diced
6 cooked prunes, diced
1 small orange, chopped
1 beaten egg
Salt and pepper
Have butcher remove bone from
lamb shoulder and sew it on three
sides, leaving the fourth open for
dressing. Make a dressing of the
bread crumbs, fruits and beaten
egg. Pile this into cavity. Skewer
or sew the edges together. Place the
lamb shoulder on a rack in an open
roasting pan and roast in a 300-de-
gree oven, allowing 30 to 35 minutes
to the pound.
Never throw away shank ends of
ham or bones from the roast. Use
these for making soup, a cupful of
which is very good for dinner be
ginners on cool nights. Broth made
from these may also be used for
gravies and sauces.
Never throw out meat leftovers.
They may be combined with gravy,
bread crumbs, noodles or rice and
used for stuffing green peppers.
Bacon leftover from breakfast is
too good to discard. Break it into
bits and pieces and use for flavoring
the dinner vegetable, soup or salad
