good. Enormous Bing cherries
from Washington State, red and
yellow plums, fresh figs, homes grown
rhubarb, mangoes and pineapples
are all good. Others in the berry
line include strawberries, blackber-
ries, huge blueberries and excellent
raspberries. There are plenty OF
peaches, both free and clingstone.
And, of course, the usual bananas,
oranges, lines and lemons, with
grapefruit a bit higher in price and
lower in quality. The first Seedless
grapes are here, but still a bit sour.
In the vegetable field we find
asparagus about to sing its swan
song-so let's make as much use Of
it as we can while the going is good; !;
acorn and white and yellow squash
are cheap and good; spinach and
kale are abundant, but should not
be kept too long before using. Baby
okra and baby lima beans are to be
found; big fat peas from California
are selling at low price. Corn is
excellent and not expensive. Big
shiny eggplants lend color to the
stands and variety to the menu;
young onions and unusually deli
cious potatoes from California are
also being offered. AL sorts of salad
greens abound.
Brought in from the nearby coun-
try, one finds those big white rad
ishes that are so good for cooking
and so inexpensive, and plenty OF
tender poke salad shoots still going
strong.
Fish Is Fine Hot
Weather Food.
Don't overlook fish when planning
your hot-Weather menus. If you
have no way to be sure of keeping
it satisfactorily over Sunday, make
use of it on Saturday. Even if you
have regular fish every Friday
your family won't object to salad
or some other concoction of she'll
fish the next day. Among the most
delicious cold foods in the world are
lobster, crab, shrimp, salmon and
tuna. Dig out your favorite cook
book and see if it doesn't give you
some fine recipes for nodded fish,
jellied seafood salads, and so on.
If it doesn't, write to us and we'll
send you some.
Softshell crabs are still ineXpen-
sive and plentiful. Fillets of Amer
ican sole are large and firm-fine for
the family dinner or party fish
course. Get the market to roll them
and serve them poached in white
wine with Bechamel sauce.
Lighter Meats
In Favor.
Insofar as is possible, lighter
meats, and those that may be cooked
speedily without heating up the
kitchen through use of the oven,
are recommended for hot-weather
consumption. Because of this trend
most of the local markets are fea-
turing veal this week end, along
with the usual quota of chops, cold

Unchecked immigration Cheers
Palestine Jews, Mereminsky States

Commenting on the question
of immigration in an interview
with the J. T. A., Mereminsky
expressed conviction that the rate
and extent of Jewish immigration
to the Holy Land depended both
ION the means and the efforts
that the Yishub itself can put for
ward to absorb and organize it. y
He added: eff American Jewry
can put forth efforts in behalf of
the Yishub commensurate with the
efforts of the 100000 Histadruth
members in absorbing the i'm
migrants, then Palestine could
readily be prepared as a center
for the immigration of the Jewish
masses"
Commenting on the war, the
labor leader said that the world
now had an opportunity to see
that the three and a half years of
terrorism in Palestine were not the
result of Zionist infiltration and
activities but were definitely
linked to the efforts of the same
totalitarian powers which today
are at war with the democratic
powers"

Mereminsky, who is member
of the Zionist General Council and
who remained in Europe after the
Zionist Congress, is here for a
six-month stay during which he
will cooperate in all projects de-
signed to further the work of the
Histadruth and the Yishub as
whole. During his stay, he will
also endeavor to establish improv-

Jewish community and Palestine
during the crisis and to strengthen
relations between the two COM

German Spies Pose
AS Refugees

AMSTERDAM (Havas)-Ger-
man spies posing as Jewish refu-
gees have been discovered in the
Netherlands, it was reported.
Carrying passports stamped with
the letter "J'', which German au-
thorities inscribe on all passports
issued to Jews, these secret agents
were believed to have gained entry
to a number of neutral countries.
Those discovered here were cary
ans"
AS apparent refugees they can
more easily pass from one country
to another, it was said, and enjoy
the sympathy accorded in many
quarters to victims of Nazism.

rated from Polish Jewry by a high
wall and are completely unaware
of how the Jews in Poland have

their present fate is. We are ge-
graphically so close to them but

Americans have more radios, au-

enjoy better food, and live in better

use better furniture. The ordinary
citizen buys and employs for his pleas

As Nh. Carter observes, it is free
competition, the backbone of private

PLIGHT of the sHARECROPPERs

The public was given a dramatic
alton of the plight of the sharecrop-
pers, who have been hardest hit by the
governments policy of crop control,
during the past week when thousands
of both races took their families and a
few household belongings and started
q trek across southern Missouri. Most
OF them ii prepared for cold weather
and have no definite destination. They
are merely looking for work.
Unless the government to
their rescue with relief aid, it is believ-
ed that many of them actually face
starvation in their rude huts along the
u. S. highway No. 1.
According to reports in the daily
press, some of these people were dis
charged by land owners, who did not
care to share with them in the cash
payments they received from the gov
eminent for limiting their crops, in or
der to maintain prices at a profitable
level.
Most of these people are unskilled
at making a living except by farming
and 1t seems to us a reflection on the
governments agricultural policy that
with all the unoccupied farm land in
the country, these tenant farmers are
not permitted to grow enough food
stufts to feed their families through
the winter months and must leave their
homes at this time. of the year to seek
work or starve.
Their problem is one that excites
the sympathies of all well thinking peo-
pie, and We hope that something will be
speedily done to alleviate their suffer-
ings. At the same time, we believe that
there should be a permanent policy a.
dopted for the re-settlement of those
tenant farmers unable to c work
IN the sections where they now live in
some other part of the u. S. where they
at least make a livelihood from the land.

WAKE uPl

You'd think nothing of it if your
next-door neighbor borrowed" a Gig
arctic. But you would regard it as a
presumption if he asked permission to
u a cord to one of your electric light
outlets in order to operate his radio for
the evening.
Yet, the fact is, based on average
domestic power rates, that the cost of
n cigarette would more than pay the
cost of operating most radios for sew
eral hours!
Here is an excellent illustration of
what the electric industry, under priv
ate ownership and state regulation,
has done to reduce the cost of a vital
service to the American people. Elec-
trio power is the only item in the gov
ernment's standard cost-of-living in
dex which costs less today than it did
before the war. You can use power for
lighting, cooking, ~refrigerating, and
for actuating dozens of conveniences
such as percolators and vacuums, for
less money than you spent for lighting
alone not so many years ago.
