Survivors Leave
A number of persons who suffer-
ed Slight injuries were released dur
ing the day and more fortunate
survivors began leaving for home,
some still clothed in the garments
which local residents and the Red
Cross provided.
The snow and sleet which began
falling early yesterday continued to
hamper work of the wrecking
crews. Exhausted after "a hours of
labor, they turned to the task of
building a spur line that would
bring a crane closer to the work
age.
Two of the four tracks of the line
were opened during the night, en-
aiding the railroad to resume rea-
sonably normal traffic to both east
and west. Trains were running
from 80 minutes to an hour behind
time, however. Officials estimated
it would require four days to clear
the other two tracks, n of which
was torn up for hundreds Of yards.
Little Falls, which overnight
turned itself into an efficient, warm
hearted disaster relief station, slow
ly returned to normal in the quiet
of the Sabbath. Crowds continued
to gather on the cliffs above the
wreck scene.
OF the 80 dead, 10 were listed as
revenue passengers and II as
non-revenue passengers, including

The Norwegian military cornmu-

Helen Jepson's camp
recipes will appeal
and prove practical

IN THIS tense and bewildering sum-
mer of 1910, our American passion
d for vacations spent in shorts,
slacks and cabins in the woods is
blessed asset. 1t will help US to "see
life steadily and see it WHOLE" as the
poet said. The paraphernalia of our
sophisticated lives is confusing. But
there is something imperturbable and
steadfast about mountain or lake
or an ocean, something reassuring
about the natural rightness of tree
or wildfower or bird. And it is deep
instinct that sends us to live, for week
ends or longer holidays. among these
influences Of the out-of-doors.
On this page about celebrities and
food, it is not, of course, our real
business to preach. But we could not
help thinking of these things when we
talked to Helen Jepson, beautiful
blond star of the Metropolitan Opera,
and heard about her 116-acre camp in
the Catskill Mountains. This is the
hide-out where Miss Jepson ceases
to be a prima donna. shakes off the
strains and stresses that come to any
professional artist, becomes camper,
turns domestic, and hobnobs with the
neighboring farmers. However, her
nearest neighbor is two miles away;
she doesn't have telephone; and she
uses oil lamps for lighting. There is
electricity available. We use it for
running the ter-pump and the re-
frigerator and so, of course, we could
have the camp wired for lighting, but
l just don't want to-" Miss Jepson
says.
There are small individual cabins
for sleeping quarters, large recrea-
ton cabin, and another cabin which
Miss Jepeon uses as music studio.
Last year we built a dining room onto
the recreation cabin, but there is no
space in which to add more sleeping
quarters" Miss Jepson tells US.

CLAIMS. When you are ready to serve,
put big lump of butter in each per-
sons cup and pour off the clam broth
from the spigot to serve first, as a
soup. Chicken. corn and potato will
be deliclously favored. and each per-
son receives his own neat cheesecloth
package, hot and inviting"
Besides this recipe, Miss Jepson
gave us several others for our readers:
a f ankfurter cheese roll which makes
very good eating. indeed; special
recipe for asparagus tips. which, she
says. rings a change on plain aspara-
gus and is even better than asparagus
with Hollandaise sauce; a crushed
raspberries- and cream mixture which
she often serves for breakfast: and
finally recipe for very tasty kidney
stew.
Evening star., 1940-07-28

Mostly we use an outdoor dining
room and often cook on the outdoor
stone fireplace.
II am very domestic" she goes on.
1T is natural and easy for me to
step into the kitchen and do things.
Nowadays l don't have much oppor-
tunity. except sometimes in town on
the helps night off and in summer at
the camp. But from the time when l
was little girl in Ohio, was always
in the midst of pleasant 'kitchenery'
things. We had baking days at home
then, and we used to put our winter
eggs down in water glass. l helped
with it all, and got the habit, too, of
liking to have lot of people around
me. In the warm weather, we had
big table in the back yard and there
was always crowd who came to en-
joy Mothers beef stews and date bars
or chocolate cake"
Pjoin Food Ptsferrsd
1HEsE are still favorites in the
Jepson household. And other food is
quite simple You don't want elabo-
rate food at camp in a pine woods"
Miss Jepson says, land appetites
don't need coaxing. When we cook
out-of-doors, we have steaks or chops.
Otherwise, we have lots of stews
especially kidney stews or beef stews;
and about once a week we have a
spaghetti dinner. and our speciality
with this is clam sauce.
Then, for anyone who lives where
clans are available, there is what we
call a clambake dinner. That is not
a very accurate name. but l evolved
the dish out Of something the fisher
men make on Long Island Sound.
The first requirement is a big
steam boiler. with little spigot at
the bottom" Miss Jepson goes on to
explain. There should be a grill or
crate. inside, near the top. Use both
steaming clans and large hard she'll
clans: the former are grand to eat
and the latter, best for broth. Allow
a pound of CLAIMS per person. Wash
the clans carefully with a brush and
plenty of water to get off the sand.
