The Way For
Youngsters
BY DOROTHY GREIG

When we were small, life was
simpler for parents. On the milk
drinking question, for instance,
mothers firm voice just announced
drink your milk without any more
nonsense, please. And we did.
Nowadays, a child Is oh, so gently
Unanswered into doing what he
should. It's a great life for the
little dearSI
However, it is fairly easy to get
more milk into child - with pleas
ure to all concerned, A child need
not drink it all. He can eat some
Of IL.
For example, an equal quantity of
milk added to condensed pea soup,
asparagus, celery or tomato soup is
highly nourishing and delicious
main dish for luncheon, or a first
course for supper.
Creamy buildings, milk custards
creamed vegetables, ice cream are
also well liked eatables that do their
bit to add milk to meal.
This baked custard is a dish you
should know about. 1t tastes good
and Is no trouble to make. 1t in
cludes milk, of course. And in addi-
ton you can also serve a glass Of
milk with it for lunch.
Asparagus Custard
/ can condensed asparagus soup
/ can milk (using soup can as
measure)
3 eggs
Stir the milk into the condensed
asparagus soup. Then add the eggs
slightly beaten. Pour into a cas-
serole or custard cups and bake II
moderately slow oven (325-350 de
grees F. until the custard is set.
Test for custard - insert Silve
knife In the center Of the custart
and If it comes out clean the Gus
tard Is cooked.
And here's another deliciou
luncheon dish with milk. Incident
ally, it's a grand use for left-ove
vegetables:
Casserole Of Vegetables
can condensed celery soup
cup milk
2 cups cooked potatoes (diced)
/ 1-2 cups cooked carrots (diced
cup cooked green peas
IL cups flaked cereal corn
flakes or Similar)

Pistachio
Parfait For
March 18th.

For parties on st. Patrick's Day,
Pistachio Parfait is festive fare!
Lush with sprightly green pistach!o
chips, this frozen dessert is appropil-
ately colorful and delightfully."- diff
ferent - the sort that brings a
chorus of "oh's" and "ah's" from
your guestsl
Pistachio Parfait is quite easy to
make and Is really not expensive.
for the recipe makes three pints.
The parfait mixture may be frozen
in decorative paper cups for indi-
vidual serving, If you like. TO carry
out the "eating O. the green" idea
still further, serve dainty cookies
or little cakes Of shamrock shape
frosted In q delicate green, with the
parfait.
Pistachio Parfait
Y cup sugar
" cup water
2 egg whites
Pinch salt
TX cups irradiated evaporated
milk
Y cup finely chopper pistachios
u to Y tsp. almond extract
Bring sugar and water slowly tc
a boil. Boil rapidly until syrup spins
thread. Add salt to egg whites
and beat until stiff but not dry
Pour syrup slowly into egg whites,
beating constantly. Chill. Chill milk
thoroughly, then whip until very
stiff. Fold in the cold egg white
mixture, pistachios and flavoring'
Pour at once into cold freezing trays
and freeze with temperature con-
troll set at coolest point. About one
and a half to two hours will be re-
CURED for freezing. Yield: 8 pints.
Pistachio Parfait is illustrative
of. the many delicious frozen des-
serts that can be made cconomi-
cally with irradiated evaporated
milk - the milk that whips. This
double-rich milk produces frozen
foods of rich flavor and velvety-
smooth texture - and costs but a
few pennies per can. These frozen
foods are wholesome and nutritious
too, for they contain twice the
amount of whole milk nutrients
plus an extra supply of vitamin D
the vitamin which Is so necessary
in building strong bones and teeth'

Roast Lamb
For Dinner

Along with our finest linen, gu,
best silver and our most fragile
china, we think Of a leg Of lamb as
a fitting climax for the special din
ner.
The flavor of lamb is distinctive
and is enhanced by proper cooking
A lamb roast will be "all right
when cooked as pot-roast-that
Is In q closed pan. But just give 1t
chance, by cooking 1t uncovered in
an open pan, and you will get the
true flavor of the lamb which will
please every guest with the inconn-
parable qualities of flavor, the juici-
ness, and the tenderness Of prop
erly roasted lamb.
Correct Roasting Method
OF course, cooking the roast in an
uncovered pan isn't the only trick
of the lamb-roasting trade. A leg OF
lamb should be roasted at a low
temperature, an oven Of 800 degrees
F., says Inez s. Wilson, home econ
omist. As an absolute guarantee OF
proper length Of cooking time,
meat thermometer Is the answer
The meat thermometer Is inserted
into the leg of lamb so that the
bulb reaches the center Of the
thickeSt part. Care must be taken
that 1t does not rest on bone, II
the thermometer is to register the
true internal temperature Of the
meat. When the meat thermometer
registers IT'S degrees F., the lamt
roast will be medium done; at 18(
degree F., lamb will be well done.
The roast should be put on rack
in a roasting pan with the skin side
down and the fat side up Do moi
cover. Do not add water. No. II
won't burn; instead you will have
an abundance of rich drippings, q
roast truly golden brown, tender
juicy, and flavorful.

Pork Now
Economical
Food Buy

II Il good luck for the thrifty |
hoRnemsker when foods which are
l1ieh In food value are low in price. |
This Is exactly the case with pork,
for It's prices are the lowest they
have been in many months, and 1t
Ia one Of our richest foods In food
yalUe., 50, every thrifty homemaker
will want to include this meat IN her
menus at every opportunity.
Among the pork cuts not always
given the consideration they deserve
are pork hooks. These, when served
with sauerkraut, make o particular
" tasty combination that hits the
spot when wintry winds are blowing
or for that matter, they are Q good
choice at any Inealy when q hearty
dish Is desired.
Pork Hooks and Sauerkraut
8 pork hooks
! can sauerkraut :.
4 medium onions
Y teaspoon pepper
Thoroughly wash the pork hooks.
Il Is not necessary to skin them.
Arrange on O layer Of sauerkraut and
sliced onions in q covered baking
dish, Cover with remainder Of the
sauerkraut and add pepper. Add
water to cover the bottom Of the pan,
II there Is not suf1cient sauerkraut
juice. Cover tightly. Cook in a
indicate oven (350 degrees F0 one
and one-half to two hours or until
the meat Is tender enough to come
OF the bone. This may also be cooked
on top Of the range If desired, but
It should be cooked slowly at SIM
mering temperature.
TO complete the economy meal
with pork hooks and sauerkraut as
the main dish, you might serve to-
mato Juice, boiled potatoes, corn
bread, head lettuce salad and apple
dumplings. This Is meal that one
would never guess was an economy
one. Try It'll It will be a feather IN
your cap so far as thriftiness is con-
cerned.
Many pork cuts are smoked be-
fore marketing, which means that
there Is even greater variety with
pork cuts than would otherwise be
possible. Bacon and smoked ham
are two meats which are known IN
every household. Also, there is the
picnic shoulder, which Is smoked In
much the same way as ham and Is

ham Il cut, with the center slices
being used for broiling and the
shank and butt ends reserved to1

 The world today is strewn with the broken bones of free peoples who hestated too long before taking critical decisions It should be the firm resolve of Americans the tragedies of less fortu- nate neutral peoples and to act with vigor and age while there is time.
 We have the opportunity to lend substan- tial aid to Great Britain by providing planes and ships for her Failing to give that aid and allow ing England to fall, shall certainly face com pletely hostile Europe, dominated by dctators who are sworn to encroach in this hemisphere and who will have the means of doing
 This is much like the opportunities which the English and the French saw and waved aside, in Spain and Ethiopia and CZechoSlovaka. AS they had earlier, have the choice of giving ma terial aid to natural ally inviting far more costly and sanguinary task closer to shores at some future day
 Other peoples who faced this dilemma hesitated, and they paying for their lack of courage and foresight at a critical time It is turn W. We shall fail in opportunity if we take refuge in the obligations of neutral It was the attempt to be scrupuously neutral which brought disaster to the Dutch and Belgians and Norwegians.
 Instead of using the phrases of neutrality to cloak fear of taking vigorous action, should cast aside the nhibitions of out-moded isolation and search aggressively for ways to help the last democracy in Europe Our search will take us to the scores of obsoescent desroyers which have lain idle for years.
 These little warships would be of immense value to Great Britain as she faces up to the peril of in vason. They not needed here Obviously, this is the place to begin on program of vigorous support of Britain
 If we neglect this means of lending aid we shall be inviting the destruction of British power and the formation of gigantic Fascist bloc with naval and air strength far greater than We shall be courtng disaster just so many neutral before us have done thinking their security lay in the empty phrases of neutrality.

A NEW LEGISLATURE

No matter what happens at the polls September 10 there are going to be some voices answering here when the roll is called up yonder in the Ter ritorial Legislature next January In fact exactly half the l6 members of the 1889 House of Repre- sentatives out of the 1941 picture and three of the eight 1889 Senators will not return
 First Division Representatives A. P Walker of Craig and J. P. Anderson of Juneau will not be back Walker filed for the Senate and was defeated handily in the primary by Norman R. Doc) Walker of Ketchikan. Anderson is working for Uncle Sam as Supervisor of the Alaska Census and so was in- eligible to file
 In the Second Division, Representatives Garnet Martin of Nome and w. J. DoWd of Kotzebue failed to file for reelection Wallace Porter ran fifth in the primary and eliminated
 Somebody challenged the filing of Karl Drager, "Huey Long of the 1889 Legislature" the grounds he wearing sunfower in 1886. Sure enough, a checkup showed the Anchorage Representative called for a Republican ballot that year and so is technically unable to sign the declaration of cand- dacy which says T am a member of the Democratic party" How he managed to sign it in 1888 and be elected is of those interesting minor political mysteries So will not have to listen to MT Drager next winter
 Ed Coffey, another Third Division Representative at the last session, is the Democratic nominee for the Senate vacancy created by resignation of James Patterson, now U S. Marshal at Valdez.
 In the Fourth Division, only Chester T. Spencer of the four 1889 Representatives has been eliminated He sixth in the primary.
 Democratic incumbentS seeking reelection next month Representatives John Mccormick and James V Davis in the First Division, Howard Lyng in the Second, Harvey Smith and H. H. McCutcheon in the Third and Jesse Lander Leo Rogge and Frank S Gordon in the Fourth
 The 1889 Legislatures sole Republican, Senator Leroy Sullivan of Nome, is holdover and will be back next year Other returning Senators are Henry Roden of Juneau and c. H. (AlabamD LaBoyteaux of Livengood.
 Senators out of the 1941 picture are James Pat terson, now Marshal Patterson; Joe Holman, who died at his Seward home shortly after the close of the 1889 session, and Victor C. Rivers of Fairbanks,

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
FRIDAY, AUGUST Is

Adverse planetary aspects dom mate today. It is not an suspicious date for signing contracts. Love letters may turn out to be boom erangs; writers should weigh their Words-the stars encourage fickle- ness. The early morning is fortu- nate for launching any important project that has been carefully planned
 Heart and Home: Women today are under depressing influences. Disappointments regarding ambiti- ous plans may be expected, for the world in process of change will alter established customs Romance will be prevalent among the young who will meet obstacles and en- dure separations. Individual hopes must be subordinated to public de- mands as national defense require ments interfere with routine af- fairs.
 Business Affairs: Stimulation Of certain industries will cause pros perity. Bankers will meet extra ordinary conditions in the world of international finance as new meth ods of exchange are imperative. Vast government expenditures will require citizens to pay heavy taxes and result in great manufacturing and merchandising activity. Tech nical training of many sorts will prove profitable for young women as well as young men.
 National Issues: The backwash of the second world war will be responsible for varying points of view regarding economic policies. Resolute leadership on the part of the President of the United States will result fortunately in the au- tumn, but his health should be safeguarded. Naval movements are prognOSticated for the Pacific fleet which is to be tested in unusual emergencies. Aviation will continue to command attention and to win enthusiastic support among persons of all classes.
 International Affairs: Refugees are to cause great problem for the people of North and South America. The United States will be seen as offering the most coveted havens. Philanthropic projects will prove that American democracy can meet the most exacting demands. A children's crusade planning wise care for war victims will be pro- noted
 Persons whose birthdate it is should have prosperous year, but they should avoid changes. Busi- ness and finances should be satis- factory.
 Children born on this day will be intelligent, artistic and attrac- tive in personality. Girls may be changeable in their ideas, incon- Stant in love affairs.

her bonds wanted in the United States.
 But more than any of the 19 other Latin American countries, she depends upon the European market, which is now cut off.
 Before the winter is over, there will be tremendous pressure in Argentina to dispose of surpluseS to starving Europe probably through Hitler. This will create a conflict with Britain--if that coun- try is still able to impose block ade. And also it will make for tougher Argentine relations with the United States, for Henry Wal lace also is trying to get rid of surplus corn.
