> Loon, one of the really great writer's OF
our day, known the world over for his
History of Mankind" The Story of
the Bible" and 'R. v. R., The Life
and Times of Rembrandt van Rim"
1t would be difficult to corner
MIR. van Loon alone at home today.
He has many visitors for whom very
likely he will even take time out to
prepare lunch personally. Food and
cooking are among the fundamentally
human aspects OF life. and, as such.
they hold a respected position in
van Looms philosophy. Besides, he
likes food.
We were seven at table the day l
was there - Mrs. van Loon striking
and attractive with her gray bangs
and humorous brown eyes; Nine.
Alexitch, wife of the onetime Austrian
minister to the Netherlands and now
a prospective American; Suzette
Enthoven, a slim, dark-eyed, gifted
young woman who was visiting here
when her native Holland capitulat-
ed; a retired officer from the United
States Service; another young refugee
who now makes his home with the van
Looms; our host, and myself.
An Ingenious Dish
ON A small electric stove in the
dining room, Mr.. van Loon prepared
the savory dish which was to be the
center of our meal. He had invented
the recipe himself - an ingenious and
successful combination of bouillon,
fresh spinach, and sausages (or. you
can use ham just as well. Mr.. van
Loon says. The result is one-dish
meal; actually soup, of course - but
what a soup! Full of favor and SUBJ
stance and wholly satisfying. We give
you the recipe later.
As he cooked. he talked, recon-
mending sauces with which he likes to
experiment and which, when we were
able to test them later, turned out to
be very good.
There is, for instance, a mixture OF
melted butter and anchovy paste
which he uses over steak, fish balls, or
any bland fish. There is cream sauce.

and urgent are the demands on his
daylight hours. He has already begun
research on the next major book he
has in mind to write "a history of
Holland.
THE old Holland is gone now and
there is no one else who can write its
history - l mean, write it in English"
he says. He loves Holland, and his
house, with many of its wide windows
opening on the water, is reminiscent
of Dutch houses and is even called
after his birthplace. ''Veere" is the
name of his native town; his place
over here is called "Nieuw Veere."

with MIR. van Loon, who feels that we
are as yet only novices at using them
in this country.
At present Mr.. van Looms personal
food repertory is not what it used to
be and what he hopes it will become
again.
He is forced just now to keep to a
diet, and the fine Holland cheeses, the
excellent cheese souffles, once spe-
cialty of the house, are tabu. So are the
favorite Dutch cakes and cookies, for
some of which, however, we will give
you the recipes.

declines.

K" stood for, whereby it might be
understood that this letter writer was
akin, racially to him who spelled in
"Old Virginny." haven't heard yet
whether he possesses the necessary en-
lightenment on that cabalistic term
or not. But, it's a good bet that he
knows what NRA, WPA, PWA, or
any other combination of letters that
will hand him out thirty cents an hour
for leaning all day on shovel han
die.
How-some-ever, I've strayed just a
little way from the spelling book. I
was about to ask why our friends a
cross the line didn't, while they were
about it, adopt the spelling I've seen
frequently printed in the Shore papers
"Accomawcke", or something like
that. 1 am a great lover of antiques,
and those old combinations of let
tiers always had keen attraction for
me. Being half an Accomack count
ian myself, I think I'd like to have
had that word on my family's coat
of-arms, spelled just like that; but
that "coat" got lost somewhere, and
I've not been able to find it, hunt as I
may.
Still and all, whether it's sVirginny''
or Virginia; "Accomac" or "Acco-
mack, the difference will make no
difference in the good people who live
in that good old State-the warmest
of hearts, the proudest of Americans

we must not only utilize them in or

but we must make it our business to
see that they administer their service

maintain an independent position if
we place ourselves into a situation

Many famous athletes in all sports
credit much of their success to help

Teachers, Librarians, parents and
leaders of boys clubs also recommend
THE AMERICAN BOY enthusiastic

general rule regular readers of THE

characteristics than do boys who do
not read it.

ton, might not be the same place as
"Virginny" in the body of the song,
if one is to depend on the spelling.
You know, the difference of one letter
sometimes makes vast difference
in the meaning. And how is anybody
to be really certain that Garry me
back to old Virginny," would finally
land the nostalgia victim in the land
of corn, cotton, and rye-"Virginia."
And, just to think, did the author
know anything about the more Dig
nified appearance of the "place where
/ was born" It wouldn't have SEEM
ed like home if he had been compelled
to call it Virginia" More than like
ly, in his ordinary conversation he
called "Ginny" as often as anything
euse. If any one had mentioned
Virginia" to him, he'd probably have
asked: "Where am dat?"
Well, if the people of the Old Do
minion want my advice (of course
they do) I'd say, let the old song stay
as it is. More correct photography
would conceal the true spirit of the
old slaves love for the South; his
faithfulness to "Old Marster", "Youne
Marster"; and every foot of grount
teeming with the products of the sol
that contributed more comforts thar
he has ever experienced since freedom
sent him on wild chases for happiness
And talk about spelling, our nea
neighbors have come to the decision
that the letter "K" looks better at tn
end of their county than it does any
where else in the world; no hereafte
it's to be "Accomack" instead of tn
curtailment, "Accomac." And the RI
