+EREsA is an important person in the
household of Glenda Farrell, popular
comedienne of the movies. Teresa,
Glenda tells us, is her Hungarian cook,
the supreme dictator of the kitchen. Glenda
would rather lose money than lose Teresa. you
can forgive woman for taking your sweet
heart away" Glenda says, but you'd hate
her forever if she took your cook" And
Glenda is sure that Teresa will come back
from her present visit to Hungary. "A fortune
teller told me So, she treasures herself
little shamefaced about her trust in the dubi-
Gus science of prophecy.
Yet. much as Glenda appreciates her cook,
she enjoys Teresa's day out. I'VE daren't 60

every actress longs to be domestic. and love
to take over the kitchen sometimes There

Teresa often invites people to dinner, so that
she can spread herself on her cooking AT
such times the guests may find before them
one Of her incompatible hams, covered with
fresh pineapple, and deliciousy glazed. Or
perhaps Teresa will give them fried chicken
with her very famous faky, piping hot big
cults and honey.
Fried chicken is the big birthday dish, too.
There's often a birthday" Glenda says,
because there are so many cousins in the
family and we always have birthday-feasts
for them. Fried chicken is the favorite entree
on any birthday: but what the meal starts off
with depends on which cousin it is. 1t may be
soup. or shrimp cocktail. or a crabmeat
cocktail. Candied sweet potatoes with marsh

times BOTH"
The beloved cousins almost always 90 to
Glendas house for Sunday morning break
fast too I'VE all come back from church,
Glenda says, and Teresa has big, leisurely
breakfast for us. Often there are strawberries
and cream. Almost always someone warts
scrambled eggs; but Teresa supplements that
favorite. if commonplace dish with one of her
specialties - frequently and by general re-
quest, with Creamed chicken. And without
fail she will also tempt US irresistbly with
hot bread of some sort
As far as dinner parties are concerned,
Glenda, like most sensible moderns. prefers
buffet meal if there are to be more than fsa7
guests. But, if it is just a case of having
someone in to dinner, we eat at little table
in front of the fire. or out in the patio" she
says. Out in California people are doing
away with dining rooms
1t is pleasant life with formality reduced,
to minimum. There is something unsophisti-
Gated in the midst of so much sophistication;
something that reminds us of an earlier and
simpler period in our national history Glenda,
for instance. like many citizens of Hollywood,
has great deal of fruit on her land not
acres and acres of it, not orchards but trees
and bushes and plants enough to supply the
table lavishly and leave surplus to be put up

Teresa makes all our jellies and jams,"
Glenda explains. 1--WE have figs, pears, nee
tarines, plums and apricots on our own place.
Then there are fruit vendors who come to the .
door. Usually we do not need anything from
them and Teresa dismisses them sternly. =
That ishow Hugh Herbert got into trouble. ="
she says with laugh. HE has big place
very close to us; and one day, when he
been working outdoors, Hugh decided to give
me basket of fruit. And over he came, carry
ing it on his shoulder and looking so like a
tramp that Teresa did not know him. Sitting
quietly in the studio heard an altercat m
at my back door, and Teresa s voice shouting
angrily: Go away! We don't want any, tell
you. Go away"'

Six days out of seven Glenda veers away
from such hearty dishes as this. She's just
another victim of the camera, which has a
heartless way of making one additional pound
look like fifteen. So one of her favorite dishes
is a salad made of grated raw carrots, cottage
cheese, and raisins. There is substance and
nourishment in it, as she points out; and in
addition, it is very pleasing to both eye and
palate

sore trial to Teresa To compensate to herself

DOCTORS OFFER
GROUP HEALTH
PLAN OF own.
Choice of Physicians
Given Members

Faced with a Grand Jury in
vestigation growing out Of its op-
position to the Group Health
movement, the District Medical
Society today offered a plan for
adequate medical care for persons
in the low income brackets.
The plan, adopted at a closed
meeting of the association last
night, is similar to that of the
CHA, in that it calls for prepay
ment of medical fees.
MONTHLY DUES
Under the plan, which would be
limited to single persons with a
maximum income of $4,000 a gar,
or married persons with a COM
bined $2,500 maximum income, a
non.profit organization would be
set up, and those joining the ser
vice would pay monthly dues to
this organization.
Members would be permitted
medical care by any of the doctors
participating in the movement.
disqualification would be provided
through cooperation with the
Group disqualification, Inc.
SUGGESTS SUBSIDY
The Medical Society also urged
Government subsidy for physi-
clans who are treating the indi-
gent, and suggested this be worked
out between the society and the
District Health Officer.
In announcing the new plan,
which has not yet been formally
adopted by the society, DR.. Will
liam Mallory, president Of the Or
ganization, said that the plan does
not fully meet all the problems
involved but that 1t will do much

Work Week

A general 32-hour work
week for the automobile
manufacturing industry was
advocated today by the execu-
tive board of the United Auto

affiliate.
President Homer Martin
estimated a 32-hOur work
week would increase pur-
chasing power and take pres
ent unemployed automobile
workers off the relief rolls.
Martin said the shorter
work week would increase en-
plOyment by 20 per cent and
would not cost the corpora
tiOnS any more.
ut also would reduce vel
fare expenditures of the ma

ernmentS," Martin added.

FARM HAND MENACED
BY TEXAS LYNCH MOB;
PAGE GOVERNOR ALREDD

HOUSTON, Texas, Feb.-(Elaine
Ellis for CNA)-Charged with crinii-
nal assault on a white woman last
month, young farm hand was
lodged here in the county jail after
being threatened with lynching in
Colorado county Sheriff E. B. Mayes,
who brought him to Houston for safe
keeping. reported that he feared a
repetition of mob violence that took
the lives of two boys two years ago
at Columbus These two children,
Ernest Collins and Benny Mitchell,
were lynched by a vicious mob after
a white girl was found dead in "a
creek. They had been seen gathering
pecans in an orchard near which the
body was found.
Sheriff Mayes announced that the
Colorado grand jury will begin an in
vestigation of the present case with
out delay.
The rushing of the prisoner to
Houston causes recent words of Gov
ernor James " Allred-that the South
does not need anti-lynch law because
lynchings "are on the decline"-to lose
weight Only few weeks ago an ex-
convict committed suicide in order to
escape the fury of posse that was
trailing him after the death of a
white deputy. The lynch fury has not
died down in Texas
