By Winifred Williams

In response to Petersburg's invi- tation to Wrangell to come over and help celebrate the Fourth of July, the Editor threw the price Of plane fare to the winds Gust like that) and sent his staff" as his special representative to our neigh boring city to cover the events.
 Greeted at the plane ramp in Pe- tersburg by one Mir. Bue Hentze whom we discovered to be that towns, No. 1 salesman, who kindly put his time and car at the disposal of The Sentinel to cover the very excellent and lively celebration.
 Bicycle races, foot races, all man. ner of boat races, balloons, ice cream cones and hot dogs kept everyone busy and it was apparent that the Grand and Glorious Fourth was a holiday in which wars and cares were forgotten and most everyone concentrated on having a good time. Bunting, flags and band music made the main street a midway of fun and interest. Boats checking the harbor, racing or tuning up for the races lent a decided metropolitan atmosphere to Petersburg's busy waterfront. The long and varied program was we'll planned and, to the committtete's credit, went off smoothly and on schedule.
 Highlights this reporter noted up- on being driven about to see the town were the outstanding number of lovely homes surrounded by green lawns and flowers, deer and pheas- ants grazing unafraid along Mitkoi Highway, the game farm where Dr Jules Loftus is carrying on such val uable experimental work on mink marten and fox for the Territory and Dr. Laftns' kinaneza In showint

EOR our all-American l940 Thanks E giving feast. 1t is indeed fitting to co-star the turkey and the cran- berry. Cranberries were one of the treats the young Indians taught the Puritan children to gather. and great wild turkeys were abundant in the New England forests when the hungry colonists went hunting In the New World. When the Pil. grim fathers served them at that drst Thanksgiving feast over 800 years ago. they were setting q prece. dent that would cling to the holi. day forever. So significant did the turkeys fame become that Ben. lamin Franklin. some century and a half later. arGued that this bird, a typically American product, would Do a more suitable national emblem than the eagle.
 A cranberry pie for dessert, garnlshed with stars and a turkey cutout of pastry, ig a symbolic treat that caps the all.American iolldny feast with triumph. The pic filling is magically easy Co make with sweetened condensed milk and needs no cooking. it's faiIure.proof, too, co the chief cook as well as family and guests will have cause IOr thanksgiving.

''Last-Bite" Successes

Give your guests a satisfactory dessert and they may gauge the en- tire meal by it. The Hast bite" is by no means the unimportant one. Many hastily prepared and sirn- pie meal has been saved by the hostess who has a surprisingly de- lightful dessert. The simple soup and salad are forgotten as spoons are dipped into the attractive dish served as a Hast bite"
 Here are two suggestions for you No eggs are needed. Very little ef- fort. But wait until you taste the result:
 Rice Rennet- Custard

 Ia cups rice Cooked and

 S-4 cup chopped walnuts
 3-4 cups milk (not canned or
 soft curD
 1-4 cup cream

 Mix rice and nuts together and divide among 6 dessert glasses, dropping in very loosely. Warm milk, cream and sugar slowly, stir ring constantly. Test a drop on in- side of wrist frequently. When COMFORTABLY WARM, (120 de- greeS F0, not hot, remove at once from stove. Stir rennet powder into milk briskly until dissolved-not more than one minute.

Whats Good About Beans

The New England custom of serv- ing baked beans for Saturday nights supper shows that there is something good about beans. Indeed it is heartening to know that such traditional dish is also good for you"
 Many of us may be surprised to know that a serving of baked beans is a fair source of vitamin A, an ex- ceIent source of vitamin B1, and 8 good source of vitamin G.
 And most surprising of all is the fact that a generous serving of baked beans will provide about forty per cent of the iron needed daily. The richness of baked beans in vita min B1 and iron is particularly im- portant because many diets are often not sufficiently supplied with these food factors.
 Baked beans are conspicuouSly lacking in vitamin c and for this reason serving a)raw vegetable salad consisting either of greens or car rots or cabbage Is very complement tary both from a nutritive point of view and from the point of view of palatability.
 Baked beans may take the place of meat in the days menu because this dish is a protein one However the proteins need to be supplement- ed with those of milk and for that reason, it is wise to include milk as 6 beverage or in the dessert served with the baked beans" meal.
 Other dried legumes such as kid ney beans, lima beans, split peas and lentils have a similar rating to baked beans" and may be sub stituted for variety.
 It is well to keep in mind that beans need to be chewed thoroughly so that digestive juices may be mixed thoroughly with them. Usual ly no discomfort or indigestion will be experienced if this is kept in mind.

HoMEMAKER IN DEFENSE

Increasingly unsettled world con- ditions and the stepping up of our own national defense are placing a great responsibility Squarely on the women who have families to feed. They are in a strategic position to promote national defense because If they have an understanding of cor rect foods they can keep their fam- lilies healthy to do efficient work.
 The budget conscious homemaker needs to know what to feed her family and to bear in mind that even on small amount of money she can keep everyone on the safe side of health if she knows the proper food selection. Complete lit- erature on the subject of diet is available from many sources but these brief suggestions should be helpful
 The homemaker should bear in mind that milk in the proper quan- titles, as a beverage or in cooked dishes, is an absolute essential. A quart for each child and pint for each adult is necessary. Fruits, leafy green vegetables. and eggs, when combined with milk, are the backbone>o of the diet. These are the protective foods which, If used gen. erously, help furnish health and vi- tality with which to do successfully our daily tasks.

Bread and cereals-especially the dark, unrefined cereals which fur nish vitamin B1-are necessary 10 good health. Take at least half of the bread and cereal eaten daily in the form of dark, unrefned ones.
 Meat, fish and poultry are at- tractive to the average taste. The homemaker with a very limited budget may reduce the use of meat to three to four times week and in it's place substitute other pro- tein foods such as eggs and cheese or dried vegetables such as peas, beans and lentils, which are equal- ly nourishjng. Liver, kidney, and heart are less expensive than mus cle meats, and are far richer in iron and vitamin A.
 These are basic suggestions. The Connecticut Dairy and Food Coun- cil has numerous leaflets on the subject which are available upon re- quest.
