French cooks have long been noted
for their ability to prepare tempting
and delicious creations from left-overs.
Perhaps we can even give them the
credit for originating two of the most
popular ways in which left-overs are
used today, namely - Timbales and
Croquettes, since both of these words
are of French origin; croquettes COM
ing from the word ''croquer," meaning
to crunch and timbale is the French
word for "kettledrum," the shape OF
the mold in which this dish is usually
prepared.
Timbales and croquettes are alike in
that they both offer splendid use for
small quantities of leftover foods.
They are unlike otherwise, since the
base for timbale is custard and for
most croquettes it is a thick white
sauce. The method of cooking them
also varies; croquettes are fried in deep
fat and timbales are baked at a very
moderate heat.
Leftover meats and vegetables often
remain left-overs until it is too late to
eat them. or until they have been con-
sumed under the heading of a snack.
Not condemning the snack in any way,
for refrigerator raiders must have
something for their efforts, but budgets
and food bills can often times be kept
out of the red if careful consideration
is given to the possibilities of using
left overs in main courses for suppers,
luncheons, and even dinners to follow
in a day or so.
A cupful of leftover ham, beef or
some other meat doesn't seem like
much of contribution toward a main
dish to serve or 6 people. Neither
does cupful of macaroni, rice or po-
tatoes, yet there are many croquette
and timbale recipes based on just such
a foundation. They make attractive
and practical main dishes

definite place In economy menus. it

Pendergast Machine Will
Receive Vote Test Today

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 12.-R-
The Pendergast political machine
will encounter tomorrow it's first
election test since Boss Tom went
to prison-but it's leadership has
beaten a strategic retreat.
Followers of the one-time demo-
cratic city car now serving 15-
months in Leavenworth peniten-
tiary for federal income tax eva
siol have orders to join the active
anti-machine coalition in support
of a proposed charter amendment
to cut short by two years the terms
of Pendergast-elected city officials.
AS a result a civil service pro-
posal for the fire department will
be the only gauge tomorrow Of
how machine forces have withstood
a years cross fire from federal
and state grand juries, state Off
Gals and organized civic criticism.
The proposal is opposed by the re-
form forces, supported by the Pen
dergast organization.

Vocational Education
Supported By Maxwell

BURLINGTON, Feb. II. - R -
Revenue Commissioner A. ]. Max
well, gubernatorial candidate, said
today that, if federal funds were
matched in full, S2,250,0 900 would be
available to spend annually on roc
tional education in North Carolina.
Speaking at a meeting of the Ro-
tary club here, Maxwell said the
state now was spending 5 1880, 900 a
year on vocational training. Half Of
the money, he said, is supplied by the
federal government and one-quarter
each by the state and counties.
IF the next legislature can find
the means to match the federal al.
preparation in full, and distribute it
on the basis of one-third each by
the federal government, state and
counties. it would provide a total
fund for vocational education of ST.
$50, 900 a year, with a resulting inn
provement in vocational courses and
extension of this service to counties
that have not yet provided this kind
of training" he said.

A decree published in the official

vast Rhine Valley industries contin-
ued working for the Reich on a
greatly accelerated schedule.
Thyssen's steel mills, mines, and
other enterprises have been incor-
porated into Marshal G%oering's four
year plan. The holdings were con-
~fiscated by the German government
shortly after he reached Switzer-
land,
German authorities for a long time
have refused to comment on persist
ent reports that Thyssen had fallen
from grace, explaining his absence
from the Reich by saying he merely
was travelling abroad. The decree
thus confirmed the breach between
Hitler and the industrialist.
(Anti-Nazi sources in Switzerland
have said Thyssen bought" his way
out of Germany by turning over his
entire fortune to the Nazis. How
ever, Thyssen himself gives little
sign of that in his sumptious quar-
tiers in Locarno)
