used for years and Immediately
suggests the ice box raid when
hungry members Of the family,
coming in late, retreat to the
kitchen and consume food on
hand for the next days lunch, or
quantities Of any food that hap
pens to appeal, much to the dis
treSs Of the menu planner.
The social snack on the other
hand is planned by the hostess
and may be anything from an
elaborate nodded salad to a
toasted sandwich.
If people drop in informally, the
snack can be quickly prepared.
Roquefort waters, cottage cheese
squares, or potato chip cheese
balls take only a short time to
make. Snacks for parties that are
planned can include Welsh rabbit,
creamed oyster pattieS or canned
fish salads.
If you are making the Roquefort
waters, blend the cheese with two
teaspoons of olive oil, add a dash
Of Worcestershire sauce, cayenne,
and mustard, then spread on sal
tines.
For the cottage cheese squares,
cut the bread into small squares,
toast them and spread with cot
tage cheese, well seasoned. Gar
niSh with a small picked onion.

QUAINT PREPARATION OF ORDINARY FOODS BRINGS SURPRISES


Aluminium pans can be cleaned
when they become dull and black
ened by rubbing them with lemon
juice. After they have been rinsed
in warm water, they will look al
most as bright as new.
In order to make sure your
chicken will be tender, rub it in
side and out with cut lemon be-
fore cooking.
Coffee prepared with milk is a
nouriShing beverage. Make the
coffee in the usual way, but heat
also an equal quantity of milk.
Serve at the table, pouring each
from its own pot at the same time
into the cups.
Lettuce leaves can be removed
without breaking by first cutting
out the center core, then invert-
ing the lettuce under the faucet.
The running water loosens the
leaves and separates them.

and disease, from which they fled
in Shanghai, are logging the foot
steps of American refugees at
Manila.
An acute food shortage, caused
by the unexpected influx Of thou
sands of Americans fleeing the
China war zone, today alarmed
Washington authorities.
No less serious, according to Of
ficial reports, were the problems
of housing and sanitation and
medical aid. -.
The Government today took
swift steps to relieve the situation.
Gen. Malin Craig, Army chief Of
staff, authorized the Army COM
mander in the Philippines to use
every resource at his command
to aid the distressed refugees.
A refuge camp will be set up
to take care Of those who cannot
obtain other accommodations.
Craig ordered Army food sup
plies, tents, cots and blankets, as
needed, to be placed at the dis
posal of the refugees.
Their distribution will be
handled by the Red Cross, Craig
