LIVED In MILL TOWN TO
GET MATERIAL FOR SERIAL
HSilken Spindes" Starting Thursday in Times-News
Colorfu Love Story

If YOU were going to write a
story about people who work IN
"a silken mill where would you go
for information?
To a silk mill. of course. Laura
Lou Brookman did that when she
undertook to write "Silken Spin
dies" the new serial beginning
soon in The Times-News.
But visiting a silk mill proved
to be more of an experience than
Miss Brookman had expected. 1t
was last fall, shortly before the
national textile strike was de-
clared. Miss Brookman went to
a typical mill town, lived there,
met men and women employed in
the mills, learned how they lived,
learned their problems. She WIS.,
tied mills, too. but that wasn't
so easy.
"They thought / was a labor
organizer" she explains. 81 was
questioned repeatedly and no
matter how often | explained that

ground to write a newspaper

picion. In one town a company
employee followed me about the
streets, reporting where / went
and to whom | talked.
81 didn't like that, but / still
think going to the mill towns was
the only way to get the informa-
ton I needed.

days after / arrived home and,

ID EMEMBER when the silly lit
n tie bride with her can opener
was featured on all the funny
pages? That was in the days when
any h5usekeeper who so much IS
opened a can in an emergency was
regarded as a poor thing VINO
wouldn't be aPle to hold her hus-
band long.
Well. those days are gone for
ever. The woman using canned
foods intelligently In these times
can serve economical, delicious
and interesting meals, no matter
what the season. Moreover, she
can take care efficiently Of the i'm
uortant vitamine situation, for the
new scientific methods OF canning
make il possible to get foods in a
can that sometimes are fresher
and OF better quality, more's the
pity, than the so-called fresh veg
etables in our markets.
Soup Foundation From Cans
I'll just have to break down and
confess that l rarely make soup
any more, that is soup that starts
from scratch. What I mean, is
that l nearly always begin with
one Of the canned bouillons Oh con-
sommes and go on from there.
Sometimes, 1 combine as many as
three canned varieties OF soup and
add some little touches of my own,
usually appropriate left-overs-

may be canned, TOTO condensed

to bisque by adding an equal
amount OF milk to condensed to-
mato soup. Canned meats and fish
combined with canned vegetable
soups make stews and chowders
that your men will rush home to
sample.
Combined Dishes are Good
Let me warn you though, to be
careful while relocating vegetables.
Put them with the juice in which
they were canned into a wide. fat
sauce pan and cook quickly until
most OF the liquor Is eyaporated.
Then season and serve. The wide

REEDSV|LLE LOSS

MiSmanagement Is Blamed
by Subsistence Home
stead Corporation.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A loss by the Government of more
than a half-million dollars on the
Reedsville, w. Va, project through
mismanagement was announced to-
day by officials of the Subsistence
Homestead Corp. This is Mrs. Roose-
velts project for the rehabilitation of
West Virginia mountain folk.
Part of the loss will be charged of
to experimentation" while the bal
ance will be charged to "errors in
Judgment, Charles E. Pynchon, gen.
eral manager of the corporation, said.
He said he could not give proper
tionS charged to each item. He said
however, the Government will lose
approximately $4,000 on each of the
100 cottages in the project.
Mrs Roosevelt has aided in the de-
velopment of the project and has Wis
tied it several times.
A total of S1,500,000 has been al
lotted for Reedsville. The Govern
ment is receiving an average of $4,000
from the homesteaders for the dwell
ingS, to be paid over 30-year period
with 8 per cent interest on the
amount outstanding each year.
One of the errors of Judgment,
Pynchon said, was the purchase of
ready-cut houses in the first group
of structures erected These were
found unsuitable and had to be REIN
forced and supplied with Easements
Officials said the purchase of these
structures was the plan of Louis NJ
Howe, secretary to the President, who
worked with Mrs. Roosevelt on the de-
Velopment.

There is a story going around
