And then, as I stand there WON
dering at the display of majesty,
I suddenly realize what the United
States planes are going to mean
to me and every one else in America
when our air force is completed.
They will be our fort-the Nations
defenders. They will be relentless
and steady in attack. They will be
unyielding and tmpregnable.
Somehow, one thought stands out
above all others. How can our coun.
try. be anything but victorious when
the planes of America are on guard?

Parents Must
Teach Boys
Neatness
Habit of Personal
Grooming Helps
Them in Future
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Mothers and wives should be ap-
preciative for the new draft bill
in more than one way. 1t not only
will provide protection for the coun-
try we love but it will teach the
careless male how to take care Of
his clothes. make his bed and details
of personal grooming! Every woman
alive will be happy about that.
Too many men are allowed to
grow into manhood without suffi-
cient training in personal grooming.
There is an erroneous opinion that
young boys do not need to be taught
how to keep their clothes in order,
their skin and scalp clean, how to
use soap and a scrub brush In the
bath, or how to keep their room
tidy. Young boys should be taught
these things and the wise parent
will see that he is taught them.
I agree that no boy should be
made a sissy by a too indulgent
mother or a too finicky mother. But
being a normal youth does not ex-
clude an appreciation for cleanli-
ness and tidineSS.
The numerous cases of acne which
young men reveal are partly due to
Indifferent skin washing and scalp
cleansing. Why any boy thinks he
does not need face cloth or COM
plexion brush to use with soap to
cleanse his skin, is beyond my I'M
derstanding. To be truly clean boy
needs shower in the morning be-
fore school (Which is bound to be a
hasty catwashD plus a thorough
soaking and sudsy scrubbing at
night.
Instead OF running q comb through
a stubborn crop of hair and calling
1t grooming. he should learn to use
his brush as does his little sister.
Fifty to hundred strokes a day are
not too many and he should brush
from the scalp up-not from the
scalp down as is the male custom.
Also, instead of pouring a sticky
goo" on his locks which will be
sparse too soon anyhow, he should
be taught TO rub his scalp with a
cleansing tonic and piece of cotton.
Keep little box of those trim cot
ton squares on hand near his tonic
bottle and show him how to part his
hair and rub on the tonic. Two or
three times week should be sufi-
Gent to keep his hair ruly and at
least once a week he should give
himself a good shampoo with a
bland soap and thorough rinsing.
If young boy is trained at an
early age to fold his clothes over
a chair when he goes to bed-or
hang them away-he will do so the
rest Of his life much TO the delight
of his future wifel 1t will also teach
him to take personal pride in his
appearance when he dons his good
clothes. I'm not concerned about
his play clothes, but he should take
care of his good clothes. And don't
write and tell me I don't know boys
i have four brothers!

beaten egg, and sprinkle with sugar,
Bake in moderate oven for 20
minutes. and decorate with more
raisins and pieces of citron.
TURKEY BAKED IN BLANKET.
Stuff and truss turkey in the
usual way for roasting. Brush over
outside with melted butter and
wrap in a blanket, made as follows:
For a 12-pound turkey, take 4
cups of flour and enough cold water
to work into a paste that may be
rolled like pie crust. Roll out on
a Toured board to quarterback
thickness, taking great care not to
break the surface. This should be
large enough to inclose the whole
turkey, but if difficult to handle
may be done in two sections. Place
one section under the turkey bring
ing it up to wrap over the wings.
Place the other on top, tucking it
ir carefully around the legs, stick
the two sections together by moist
ing with cold water and pinching
the edges.
Place the turkey in the open
rooster on rack. Put one cup OF
water in the pan and bake for 80
minutes at 480 degrees. Then re-
duce heat and bake the usual re-
quired time for the size at $50
degrees.
The blanket becomes crisp and
seals in all juices and moisture. No
basting is necessary. Remove
turkey from oven when baked. Tap
the blanket shell to break it and
lift off-return turkey to oven for S
minutes to brown. Flavor. moisture
and texture are far better than
when bird is cooked by any other
method.
Wild turkeys in the Southwest
are covered with white clay on top
Of the feathers and cooked in
fire pit under Goals until tender
the white clay is then broken off,
taking all feathers and skin, ex-
posing the juicy meat.
BAKED RoCKFISH, ROANOKE.
Place a 4-pound rockfsh that has
been scaled and filmed, with the
head and tail removed, in a cas-
serole that may be brought to the
table. Make a slit in the skin every
2 inches and insert sections of sliced
bacon or salt pork. Season with
salt and black pepper. Surround
the fish with white potatoes care
fully diced and three medium white
onions sliced in rings. Add three
cups of water to the casserole and
cover the top with slices Of bacon.
Place over the fame for 20 minutes
until the water begins to boil and
then add l tablespoon of -four to
thicken the liquor. Place in the
oven and bake until tender and
brown on top.
This is served with green salad
and corn bread on Roanoke Island.
