For the ANPl

To me, Lent is always a pleas
ant interlude
Winter IS slowly changing into
spring. the first lovely signs OF
the new season are beginning to
appear
This week 1 have been thinking
about the meals I should give my
family and my friends during this
betwiXt-and- between time OF the
year. There just can't be any dull
meals during Lent. We can still
provide balanced meals without
meat. Here are Somes meatless
dishes and I do hope they will fur
nish ideas for good Lenten meals
at your house.
SALMON LOAF SUPREME: One
pound can of salmon, juice Of one
lemon, one onion, chopped, two
tablespoons butter, one can of con-
densed tomato soup, one half cup
milk, one egg, beaten, two cups
cooked rice, seasoning, one half cup
buttered crumbs.
Flake the salmon sprinkle the
lemon juice over it. Cook the onion
in the butter until tender but not
brown, mix the tomato soup. milk
and beaten egg. Add to the onion
and butter. Add the cooked rice
10 this and combine with the sal
mon. Season well. Put into creased
bread pan or other loaf-shaped
baking dish. Cover with buttered
crumbs and bake in a slow over
until the crumbs are nicely brown
ed. It may be a goo6 idea to set
the pan in shallow pan of boilins
water. Bake in a moderate oven
about twenty-five minutes.
SAVORY MACARONI: Three
fourthS package macaroni, three
quarts water, one teaspoon salt, one
fourI11 pound cheese, one cup chop
ped Brazil nuts, two cups canned
tomatoes, salt and pepper.
Cook macaroni in boiling salted
water until tender. Drain, blanch
in cold water and arrange in greas-
ed baking dish in alternate layers
with cheese and Brazil nuts. .--

PITTSBURGH, Pa. - (ANP)-
Branding two billboard ads as
''unbecoming and insulting to the
Negro race, members of the
Housewives guild lodged vigorous
protests with the manufacturers OF
Kelvinator refrigerators and the
Fairmont Creamery Co. against
their use of Negro subjects in
signs which are displayed all over
the city.
In the Kelvinator billboard sign,
a little eolored boy is pictured con-
suming a large piece of water
melon. This the guild said does
rot meet with the approval of the
public, it tends to belittle Negroes
and tends to reflect a time-worn
myth, which is contrary to fact
that Negroes are unusually hap
py when watermelon is at their
disposal"
The Fairmont sign protest was
based on the language used by the
Negro woman in the illustration,
who recommends Fairmont butter
with griddle cakes by saying:
"They sho' is good with Fair
mont's better butter '
Mrs. Alma Illery, president of the
guild, f]ayed the the sign as un-
complimentary. We want those
signs removed at once", she said,
"and have sent formal hottest

checked up figures in Secretary Ickes'
department finds that out of $4,000
600 spent by visitors in 1910, only
500 900 went to the government. In
other words the government got less
than one per cent of the money taken
in. But where does the rest of the

Although well meant, the army
recreational program is way over-em-

A. Wash in ST. Paul the other day, as
he tarried en- route to Rochester,
where he will receive medical atten-
ton. General Walsh is stationed at
Camp Claiborne, in Louisiana. That the
army needs more poker games" is
doubtless an illustrative figure of
speech, and yet it is perhaps well
chosen. On every hand, America is
being told that recreation is every
thing, and all along the line boys and
girls are being urged to have a play
attitude about everything, and little
is said about work. What America
needs more than it needs most other
things is the will and ability to work

The trend in government for the
past decade, at least, has been all away
from administrative boards and COM
missions, with executive authority
divided between several individuals and
toward single administrators, in the
interest both of efficiency and of plac-
ing responsibility clearly.
That is why it is amazing to find
President Roosevelt still trying to run
our huge defense program through the
cumbersome medium Of boards and
commissions. His recent appointment
of a seven member Supply, Priorities
and Allegations Board headed by Vice
President Wallace seems to be con-
vincing indication that this policy of
the Chief Executive has not been re-
VerSed.
My own experience and observation
has convinced me that single admins
trative authority is much more efficient
than boards and commissions, and one
witness after another before the Tru-
man Investigating Committee either
implied or stated directly a belief
that the administration of our de-
Tense program would be improved if
authority were concentrated. I know
of no competent authority who de-
tends administrative boards
Certainly the new set-up does not
appear likely to solve the confusion
now existing for small business enter
prises over priorities. Apparently
Priorities Division in OPM and the
Price Control set-up are to be con-
tinued and this is simply one addi-
tional agency to have finger in the
problem.
BY one of those ironical paradoxes
that do happen in politics, Mrs Ball
and had one of the most pleasant
visits of our stay in Minnesota in New
Ulm, where I spoke before the State
Junior Chamber of Commerce Con-
vention, that city being center of iso-
lationist sentiment and probably very
much opposed to my position.
I had always liked and admired New
Ulm as city, and the hospitality and
friendlineSs shown to us certainly were
in keeping with it's reputation in that
direction. We liked the New Ulm folks
we met. and we got the impression they
liked us, even though many of them
probably disagreed with our views on
foreign policies.
