One must grant that many for
eign food preparations are time
consuming and often expensive. But
IL we will only stop to consider that
virtually all of the national family
dishes of the Old World have been
developed out of the exigencies OF
stark famine such as we have never
known. there ought to be for us an
economic urge toward some practical
research into the secrets of genera
tions of European and Oriental cook
ing.
The recipes Of the Armenians
and Turks present striking refu-
tation to the charge of involved
preparation and expensive supplies.
WHY not fling convention and preju-
dice aside some evening and regale
YOUR family or guests with a genu-
Inc Oriental dinner?
Simple Ingredients
Nor will you have to go to Turkey
to do your marketing! If you will
take stock of your larder as you

that you have on hand practically
all of the foodstuffs used daily by
Turkish and Armenian housewives.
The following is partial list OF
foods found in any Oriental mar
ket basket: Neck or shoulder or
lamb or a fowl; rice or cracked
wheat; tomatoes, eggplant: onions;
chicken stock: cabbage; lettuce; Gu
cumbers; paprika; thyme; olive Oil
or meat fat: green peppers: fresh
fruits such as grapes, apricots,
prunes and oranges.
This does not present a forml-
dable list from which to develop a
typical and succulent menu or Sc
ries of menus calculated to tempt
the eye and palate of your most
pampered .epicure as well as your
wariest ''standpatter" in things
culinary.
Lamb and. Rice
The two foodstuffs most COM
monty used by the family cooks OF
these Near Eastern nations are lamb
or shish, and rice o. pilaff. Around
these as a foundation their menus
are built.
Here are two typical menus cost

Serves eight.
Sarma is variation of Dolma
in which the same forcemeat is
used to stuff cabbage, lettuce or
beet leaves. For stuffing the leaves,
they are plunged in and out of
boiling sailed water. Cut out the
brittle ribs of the leaves and make
oblong strips about two by four
inches.
Make a small compact mold Of
the forcemeat and wrap it neatly
and firmly in a vegetable leaf, turn

these around either Dolma or

For Orange Blanc Mango make

When unmolding the blanc mango

mixture of chopped oranges adding

Friday afternoon, one wonders If he

wild scramble for wraps piled IN a
conelomerate mass on top OF the flle

Driven by an urgent glance from the
one lone faculty member in the mloss
of dwadling youth, the editor bawls,
Everybody out! Ten after fivel Make

Lights go out. The crowd, still full
of energy and planning dates Tor
the evening, reluctantly makes It's way
downstairs, peers into the auditorium
to watch progress on rehearsal for
the Spring play, stops at every fountain
for a drink, makes for the front door
and disappears into the gathering
darkness.
To get the full significance OF the
above scene one must go back to one
of the unique institutions of Central
High School, the classes in Journalism,
in which every member Of the Central
Bulletin editorial staff is trained.
At present there are eighty-three
students enrolled in the three jour

With the beginning of each semester
the new classes are organized to cover
the school by sections. of which there are
about eighty. Personal items, accounts
Of dances. parties, news Of alumni and
humor are gathered in this way. The
beginners Immediately feel themselves
a part Of the Bulletin staff. and at the
same time are learning some OF the
trials and rewards Of reporters life.
The first semester Of work covers
a brief history of American Journalism,
tracing its development from the early
