 Before serving peaches, be sure you remove the down with a. soft brush, and a fruit dolly should go with them; also paper napkins, pre- ferably, if service is informal, as peaches stain linen and the marks are very difficult to get out.
 It is nice to serve extra-large per- feet strawberries with their hulls on. Arrange them on individual plates around mounds of powdered sugar. To be at their best, berries should never be washed. So omit that ceremony unless they are san- dy, then wash them quickly in CO., lander with cold water running through them.

accompaniment of salad or dessert, other portions of the meal may be frightened.
 Cheese is believed to have orig mated thousands of years before the Christian era. Tradition has it that an Arab herdsman stopping for lunch on the desert found the milk in his goatsskin bag had become an intriguing soft but solid substance which made an extremely appetizing food.
 Today science tells us that these Arabs were eating very healthful food for as a concentrated form of milk, cheese is an excellent source of protein, and contains most of the calcium and phosphorus and vitamins found in milk. One ounce of hard cheese furnishes third of an adults daily need for calcium, according to nutritionists.

On The
 Pantry Shelf

In the market for some new sup plies for the emergency or the pam try shelf? Have you few jars of antipasto those intriguing hors d'ocuvres of Italian origin that mix a little of this and that to produce a fascinating pattern of tidbits pretty enough to be served from their own flat glass jars?
 And have you some tiny pearl onions, to be mixed at the last minute with mayonnaise or a plain salad dressing, or a dress made of tomato pulp? They're piquant ad- ditions to plain lettuce salads.
 Plenty of bouillon cubes? You'll need them these days when there's no inclination to make soup stocks for broths and gravies, or the jel- lied soups that arc 50 indispensable in warm weather. Be sure to get an assortment meat, chicken and vegetable bouillons.
 Capers make another nice addi- ton to summer salads, either meat, fish or vegetable. They come in tiny jars for those who use them seldom or sparingly; in taller bottles for those who are addicts to this spicy relish.
 The kinds of cheese that come packed In glass are ideal for the summer pantry shelf And have fling at variety in flavor |. Roque- fort, pimiento, pineapple, Old Eng fish and number of other types are to be had in this form.
 Crackers in tins or heavily pro- tected cartoons should never be lacking. And by that we mean all sorts of crackers, not just one com- mon-place kind or two. Cheese crackers, butter snaps, pretzels, soda crackers, wholewheat wafers, celery waters for service with summer sal- ads just about every kind you can get.
 Jars of shrimp, tins of crab meat and lobster; some anchovy paste and tins of anchovy flllets; minute sar- dimes and few herring unerr- ing aids to tasty snacks. And if you can spare the change whole chicken or ham put up in their own juices in tins or jars. Lambs tongues, pickled or plain, and, of course, few vegetables and fruits in glass.
 Salad dressings, both French mayonnaise, and having we'll seasoned cocktail sauce base. These save lots of time when you're in a hurry. And don't be penurious about the pickles. They add so much to summer facts.

Americans are learning that cheese Is one of the best and most econom- lcal of foods. This food is more use- tul in a greater variety of ways than almost any other single food. A commonly accepted fallacy about cheese Is that 1t Is hard to digest. It is so regarded because of It's con- centrated food value. As result, many people pronounce 1t rich" and assert that only small amounts should be eaten at any one time. This belief is not founded in fact. Tests have been made on human beings. which showed that cheese is adequately and almost completely digested.
 Government nutritionists remind Us that cheese is not merely some thing with which to season or flavor a dish. It is a substantial food in itself, suitable for the main dish in meal. When cheese is used as an

last ten years America has increased its annual cheese order almost 20 per cent. This increase in con- sumption brings the total to about 5 1-2 pounds annually per person. Americans do lag behind other cheese-eating nations, including the Swiss who eat more than 17 1-2 pounds of cheese a year, Dutch about IS pounds and the Danes about IA pounds.

Service Above Race

National Jewish Hospital Week is an occasion which probably could not be understood at all in many foreign lands and to which more Americans should give grateful thought. The National Jewish Hospital, at Denver, is an institution of which democracy may well be proud. It was founded 40 years ago by Jews, but has never been sectarian in any sense. It is tuberculosis hospital at which only those too poor to pay for care are treated. It is supported entirely by private contributions, under the sponsorship of a group of Catholic, Protestant and Jewish leaders.
 The hospital is truly national. Last year it's 800 patients came from Al different states. One-third of them were Christians. Patients in all stages of tuberculosis are accepted, but in 80 per cent of the adults who enter the disease is far advanced. That the institution does a good job is shown by the fact that 73 per cent of patients discharged are entirely recov- cred or greatly improved The scope of the yearly drive for funds should widen as the general public becomes aware of the hospitals purpose and of the great service it renders.

Waterbury Lags Behind

Senator Edward P. Egan's bill to create a City Plan Commission for Waterbury and bringing us up to date with many other cities of our size in the nation did not have the support to which it was entitled from our intelligent, forward looking citizenry. Here was chance for a real citizens good government move ment. Here was practical charter change of ineStimable value to our city and the only ones to appear before the legislative committee from our city were a few practical politicians. They opposed 1t because it might interfere with their plans.
 If the sponsors of the Citizens Good Government group and it's active leaders would only take an interest in such prac- tical legislation and show they know a lit tie about progress in city government the public would have more faith that they know what they are talking about when they propose the city-manager change. This bill of Senator Egan's was a non- partisan and progressive proposal and demanded the active support of everyone who is sincerely interested in good gov- ernment.

Carefully Now, Governor

Governor Raymond E. Baldwin is re- ported as aroused at speech made in Boston this week by Public Work Com missioner Robert A. Hurley. The gover- nor, it is reported, immediately wrote to Commissioner Hurley upon learning some of the contents of his talk and demanded copy of the entire speech. That is the proper procedure we suppose where the chief executive of the state feels that some other executive has been amiss in his remarks. We can't imagine that the governor would call on any of his aides for copies of their public speeches unless he felt that such remarks were made out of turn.
 After reading Commissioner Hurleys speech, however, we might understand why Republican governor would feel called upon to rebuke a Democratic Commissioner for what he had to say in public. Commissioner Hurley evidently has been Smarting under the criticism, yelled and open, which has been meted out to him and his department most of this year. And who can blame him. He himself spoke about "carping critics" in his remarks at Boston, so it should be obvious that he has been nettled by what fase been said of him and his depart rsent and the scant regard paid to all that has been accomplished for the state since establishing this new bureau.
 It may be that Governor Baldwin feels that the commissioner violated a confi- Gence or a mutual agreement in going outside the state and discussing business that pertains strictly to Connecticut. Per haps in this respect he should be asked for an explanation, but before any harsh words pass between two state officials, it should be remembered that an unpleas- ant outcome won't help the present sit uation any more than excited legislators are in Hartford

Once again there's movement afoot to change the name of our state college at Storrs Right now the official title is Connecticut State College. Once upon a time it was Connecticut Agricultural Col lege. It outgrew that title when it started to expand it's curriculum and con- fer degrees in other subjects than those allied with agriculture. Now the institu- tion is about to take on new glory. We well recall that when the present name was given, there was consideration of use of the word, University. But opposi- tion developed within the Legislature and the present name resulted Making the Storrs school universit yshould con- vince most people that the state really has fine big institution.

Meddling in South America

It seems that our statesmen and pub licistS were unduly worried about the danger of Latin-America yielding to sub- verSive influence from Old World dicta- torShips. In two instances especially, involving the two biggest and most power full countries in South America, the Nazis and Fascists have burned their fingers by awkward meddling.
 First, there was Brazil, the United States of the southern hemisphere, which was so annoyed by Nazi propaganda that it met our government half way in arranging broad plan of economic CO., operation and cultural exchanges. Argen- tina was harder nut to crack. At the Lima conference it seemed to block every effort made by our representatives for con- tinental cooperation It was naturally susceptible to NaZi-FaScist influences, be- cause there are so many Italians and such heavy German investments in Ar gentina.
 But the NaziS were not content to let well enough alone They seem to have been so rash as to push scheme for talk ing over southern Patagonia. It is bleak region Sparsely inhabited, and probably not worth much, but the Argentine peo- pie and government quickly made it clear that they didn't want any European power entrenched there. As result, Nazi Influence in Argentina is down about to zero There have been blunders almost as bad in some of the other tin-American countries. Uncle Sam now is probably slore Influential whereabouts than ever before,

Horror of "Next War" Is Told

The next great war may still be simmering in Europe, but Nevil Shute ushers it in with full, terrible reality in his latest noval, "Ordeap (Morrow: $250). You can imagine no title more fitting for this timely, shuddery story.
 It is a story that might happen to any country, any city, any peo- pie. Shute chooses Southampton, England, for the scene of his dis aster, but it might very well be New York or Cleveland or Omaha. The human problem would be identical. And it is the human problem that makes Shute's book.
 Imagine the terror of Peter Corbett that night in Southampton when suddenly the sky seemed to open and shower of bombs be- gan to tear the sleeping city apart. Imagine, too, the terror of his wife and babies. The Corbetts survived that first attack, but they were to know no rest, no hope thereafter.
 For the same death dealing bombers came back night after night and they came without warning. They cruised SC high there was no sound of their mo- tors. The first warning was the bombs themselves and then it was too late. So 8 great city was stricken, paralyzed, left without food or drink or fuel or light, without communication. Cholera broke out, there was rush for the country, to other towns, but the bombers had dealt there too.
 Peter Corbett, in desperation, finally got his family abroad a yacht, still later he removed them to Canada. But that was only part of his sacrifice for after that the government took Peter himself. No man escaped. No man will in the net war, Nevil Shute con- vinces you.
 Such is Ordeal. You can put 1t down as one of the vital, most important novels this spring. It is also one of the most dramatic. - P. c. F.

Municipal power plants were given impetus in Vermont this week when the House took action on bill allowing municipalities the right to own and operate such plants. This would follow a vote of confirmation by two-thirds of any towns electorate. Somehow or other we don't think New England communities are going to make any concerted rush towards public ownership. of utilities. Some may, but many won't.

All sorts of ideas are coming forward a, result of the proposal that the new bridge across the Connecticut River be- tween Hartford and East Hartford be a toll structure. One coming from the western part of the state is that second deck or level be placed over the present Bulkeley Memorial Bridge which is the only avenue now connecting the two communities on opposite banks of the river. This is pointed out as an engineer ing possibility and also as economical. It probably would be all of that, but would it solve the problem. One of the reasons for building a new bridge, as we under stand it, is to erect a span that would be flood-proof The present bridge proved in 1888 not to be flood-proof for the rrater came so high on it that it had to be closed to all traffic. Putting an upper deck on structure that might not with stand a tremendously heavy freshet wouldn't seem to be at all wise.

TOO MUCH DELINQUENCY IN TAXES NOW-DONT IN- CREASE IT BY HOUS-
 ING SCHEME
April 18th, 1889. Waterbury, Conn.,,

To The Editor of
 The Waterbury Evening Democrat, Dear Sir:
 Having heard and read a great deal about the beneficial results to be obtained by the building of 25O government houses in Waterbury, I face to see hoy the poor class will be benefited as far as housing con- ditions are concerned, as people of regular stated incomes will be fail to see how the poor class will still be compelled to occupy cheap and unsanitary lodgings.
 According to statement appear ing in the Waterbury American. MT. Harris is quoted as saying: Much of the sub-standard property is 60 or 10 years old, and should be dis posed of long ago. But why claim wonderful prosperity when after 60 years those houses will become the property of the city, Don't you think or admit MT. Harris that those houses would have outlived their usefulness as well as those, previous ly referred to, which you think ought to be demolished.
 The writer has attended many town meetings in the old City Hall, and was under the impression that the Board of Aldermen was install- ed to represent the people in calm deliberite and intelligent manner and the old hilarious methods of the old town meeting had long ago been discarded and abandoned. Board of Aldermen, Why Pass The Buck?
 If an equal number of new houses are built on the demolished ones, as predicted will not that leave 250 or more unoccupied tenements in the city. Unoccupied tenements mean no rents; no rents mean tin- paid mortgages and taxes which finally spells foreclosures. According to MT. Harris the U. s. Department of Commerce reports S,763 rents in this city beyond the realm of mod ernization and should be demolish-

ed. Building 250 new tenements will still leave 3,513 families living under deplorable conditions. MT. Harris points out the number of people to be employed in building 25O homes; why not point out how much more would be employed and ma. terial used by having the Board of Health taken action by demanding that the 3,763 rents (reported by the government as unfit for habita- tion), be put in respectable and sanitary condition.
