CITIZENS PUSH
D. {. BILLS IN
CONGRESS
BY A. ]. DRISCOLL
Citizens Association Editor

When Congress assemblies on
Capitol Hill Friday the District
committees of both houses will
face important legislation on
which organized citizenry will urge
prompt consideration.
The announced intention OF
Representative Mary T. Norton,
chairman of the House District
Committee, to introduce bill to
legalize horse racing here, has
aroused the interest of civic
minded groups including the Fed
Grafton of Churches which was
active in defeating a similar bill
introduced by Representative
Black of New York in the Seventy
third Congress.
The bill introduced last session
by Representative U. S. Guyer OF
Kansas which would restore pro-
hibition has already been debated
by a few assertions. Chevy Chase
group, largest association here in
point of members, opposed the bill,
while the Rhode Island Avenue,
the second largest, voted support.
A determined effort will be
made to secure action on a bill
introduced by Mrs. Norton last
session to give votelesS District
residents a way to elect delegates
to national political conventions.
The bill provides a bipartisan
election and eliminates the pres
ent practice of sending hand
picked delegates.
Corporation Council E. Barrett
Prettyman has prepared an ex'
tensive program to submit to Con.
gresS. The chief items as viewed
by citizens associations are those
giving increased power to the
District Commissioners in decid'
ing minor matters; a new lunacy
bill; a curb on loan sharks and
an anti-gambling bill that already
has passed by the Senate.
Rock Greek Citizens Association

Reel pes for Holiday
Dinner Menus

Thanksgiving dinner tradition
ally has for its grand finale rich
mince pie or pumpkin pie. Varied
are the recipes for these and in
many families recipes have been
''in the families" for decades. If
you would like to vary the ex-
pected with new type of pie,
here are suggestions.
It is we'll to remember that no
pie is better than its crust. The
crisp rich crust sets off the filling
to best advantage. There are
three big secrets in its successful
making. The first is to use a
light hand in combining the
shortening and flour. The more
coarse and mealy the mixture the
better the crust will be.
Number two is to add cold OF
iced water. I always add by table,
spoons and use only enough to
hold the pastry together.
Chilled Ingredients
Number three is to keep all in,
gradients chilled. Otherwise the
shortening melts and prevents the
crispy, flaky product.
For pumpkin pie, especially,
there is a tendency for the lower
crust to get soggy. I find that
brushing an eggwhite over the
lower crust before adding the
custard prevents it from becoming
soggy. Other cooks I have known
use sugar. This melts and makes
o glaze.

slowly until apples are tender.
The flavor may be varied slightly
by adding bits of leftover fruits,

berry sauce adds piquancy to
the mixture. The mincemeat not
used may be sealed in sterilized
jars and kept for future use.
