The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1940-11-22

y When your children are in school,
and your husband is at work, you
find little pleasure in eating a soli-
tary meal. And when you are rushed
with household duties, you are apt
to grab a quick sandwich, or a
steaming bowl of soup, and then
continue with the tasks that are still
before you.
But, you can take advantage Of the
days when the family is away, and
the work all finished, to entertain
your friends at one-o'c clock lunch
con, a dessert luncheon for the
bridge club, or for just friendly
get-together. A good menu and an
attractive table will give you the
poise and enthusiasm necessary to
serve your guests easily and gra-
ciously.
Oftentimes the most easily pre-
pared food may be the most attrac-
lively served. A fluted orange cup
makes colorful container for many
fruits, which may be varied with
the season. The fruit must be cut
into pieces of convenient size, free
from seeds and skin, except for
grapes. It should be thoroughly
chilled and combined so that it is
a neat arrangement. If few pieces
are crushed or wilted, the whole
concoction will look careless and un-
appetizing. Remember, an appetiz-
er should not be too sweet, for as
the name implies, the first course
should sharpen the appetite.
For the rest Of the menu you
might like to serve mock chicken
legs, baked potatoes, crisp green
salad, crescent rolls, and as an I'M
usual dessert, chocolate mint roll.

Easy Entertaining.

Everybody loves a party, from
the toddling youngster to the So

can entertain her guests with
something new in the way of par

day to warrant a celebration, for
soon there will be many holiday
events to bring a group together.

Lewis Declines
Comment, Slated
To Resign Job

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. CUP)-
Chairman John l.. Lewis OF the
Congress OF Industrial Organiza-
tions today withheld comment on
the outcome of the presidential
elections which probably will end
his reign as CIO chieftain.
Lewis 10 days ago denounced
President Roosevelt's third-term
candidacy, describing him as an
"erratic, war-mongering politician"
and staked his CIO leadership on
the election of Wendell L. Will
kie.
Appealing to labor TO support his
stand, he said that Mr.. Roosevelts
reelection would mean that the
members of the Congress CT Indus
trial Organizations have rejected
my advice and recommendation.

the equivalent of a. vote of no con-
fidence," he added, land will retire

Vegetables haven't advanced very

swept our Southern sources of sup
ply. Beans, beets and new cabbage
have gone up just little, and so
have tomatoes. Peas, big firm

Choose nice beef shoulder, chuck
or rump roast for this. Wipe the
roast with damp cloth and lard it
by cutting small Sits in the sides
and stufflng them with pieces OF salt
pork. Rub the meat all over with
garlic If you like it,. Season it
with salt and pepper and dredge it
with flour. Heat l tablespoon or
more of fat in a very hot kettle and
scar the meat in this on all sides
until it is brown. Pour over the

meat 2 cups or more Of boiling stock
or canned bouillion, so that there is
half an inch of liquid at least in the
kettle. Reduce the heat, cover the
pot tightly, and let the meat simmer
for about three hours until it Is
done. Add more stock or water If
the meat becomes too dry. Carrots,
peeled but left whole; small onions,
also whole, and few small turnips,
peeled and diced, should be added
for the last hour of cooking. Half
an hour before roast is done add
potatoes, peeled and cut in dice.
Of you like to use the little new
potatoes, leave them whole.) A few
okra pods added to a pot roast also
help the texture and flavor of the
gravy. Serve the pot roast in deep
dish, with its own liquor as gravy
and surrounded by the vegetables
with which it was cooked.
BAKED EGGPLANT.
Peel an eggplant and cut 1t
crosswise into h-inch-t thick slices.
Spread both sides of the slices with
softened butter, and season then
with salt. pepper and a little lemon
juice. Place the slices on baking
sheet and bake them in a hot oven
until they are tender, turning them
once during the cooking. They take
about 10 to IL minutes to bake
For added flavor, soak the slices of
eggplant in French dressing before
baking them. If this method is
used, omit the butter, but season
with a small amount of salt and
pepper. No lemon juice is needed.
