MARCH MENUS
By Marie Clifford (Nofed Food Economist)

Every month of the year presents the same problem-pianning meals for 30 or 3l days. Planned meals ai- ways show more attractive combina- tions of foods and are usually bet ter balanced than the hit or miss meal. They also bring greater va- ,riety into the daily diet. In general the breakfast meal causes the least anxiety on the part of the lfomemaker, so the menus that follow will suggest luncheons and dinners for any week in March,. Many of the menus are planned for the entire meal to be cooked in the oven. This method saves time and or no watching. Here's weeks supp ply: .

DUAL GUARANTEE
 IS ANNOUNCED
To Cover l93l Line of Household RefrigeratOrs
 of Frigidaire Corp.
SPECIAL NEW FEATURES

Dayton. Ohio, March 13---A three year dual guarantee has been an- nounced by Frigidaire corporation to cover it's 1891 line of household electric refrigerators, now being manufactured in great quantities. The new service guarantee applies both to the Frigidaire cabinet and mechanism, the announcement says.
 "This dual guarantee is the broad est in the history of Frigidaire cor Doration.' said l.. C.. Biechler. pres ident and general manager of the General Motors subsidiary. We have been able to adopt 1t because of the experience we are having with current Frigidaires and the fact that all of our household models are finished in permanent porcelain on steel.
 "We have just completed series of dealer meetings throughout the country where the new line was presented and announcement made of the most intensive advertising campaign in our history. Reports from these meetings indicate de- cided upturn in our business during the coming months"
 According to the announcement, engineering refinements developed over a period of fifteen years made it possible to cover the mechanism of the new Frigidaires with the three year service guarantee. Lengthy ex- perience with porcelain enamel pro- cess;ng done in the largest porcelain enameling plant in the world result ed in the equally binding guarantee on the cabinets.
 The new white Frigidaires, to which thesdual guarantee applies are said to have more shelf area, larger l ice capacity. increased freezing speed, less current consumption and l lower operating cost. The food com partment is lined with special acid
 resisting porcelain.

The latest cable from Ireland on fashions for food reads this way; "Jelly salads Chantal green. Ice cream covered with gumdrops green. Mint worn throughout" signed Sham Rock All fashion cables have to be interpreted and this one has highly important information to all those who are considering parties, dinners and festivities of any kind on March 17th. M
 The vogue of green for St Pat rick's Day gives a novel note to food as well as to decorations. It is an appetizing color, so that the per- feet hostess can incorporate it in her menu and prepare for success if she follows directions for preparing the dishes suggested in the cable.
 The jelly salad may be tinted by using green vegetable coloring to exactly the shade you wish; the con- turierChantal advocates a faint green for fashions sake. Some shipped up green candied fruits, hardened in the jelly, give it variety and tastiness.

 In planning this simple dessert. cut the gum drops or other soft green confections, into small pieces and have them ready to scatter over each serving of ice cream.
 The cutting can be done best with a pair of stainless steel scissors, but not the ones you use in the sew ing room, for they may be ruined for their regular purpose! American manufacturers make a number Of excellent scissors for kitchen uses, and one with a seven-inch blade is particularly effective for candy cut ting.
 If you want to carry out this idea of candy garniture for other desserts and for other days, keep your kitchen scissors handy for candied ginger, crystallized jelly candies and bonbons. But on St Patrick's day, take tip from old Erin and make your food tune in with the wearin' of the green.

dish, without cutting too heavily into the budget items set aside for food. Cheaper cuts can be turned into delicious bits by wise seasoning and a few variations in the method of preparation. Mutton, round steak, neck, and other cuts form the basis of some of the best recipes com- posed by leading dietitians.
 One important rule for adding to the tastiness of these cheap cuts, a rule by the way that is almost a standard in many countries, is to add a touch of sugar along with salt, pepper, sage thyme and the other seasonings. Use much as you would use salt or pepper, the sugar does not call attention to itself but nevertheless blends and points up the other fiavors.
 A careful study of almost any cookbook will offer scores of sug- gestions to the housewife for ways in which the cheaper cuts can be used. Where they do not the house wife can benefit by this little sea. soning trick which has been used by many chefs for years.
 Here is one recipe that illustrates how an inexpensive GU. can be turned into an appetite-appealine main dish.
