A RECIPE, like a favorite anec-
II dote, can sometimes be so old
that 1t seems new again. The
recipe for the Minnesota Bean Pot
shown in the photograph is just
such a one. Designed as combina-
ton soup and stew, it was original
ly made in a large stewpot or ket-
tie on the black top of coal or
wood stove. There it was pushed
back to simmer gently until the
flavor and aroma became well-nigh
irresistible. 1t was usually made
in large amounts-eaten In guam
tity, too-but If there was any left,
the thrifty housewife canned 1t up
and saved it for a later time.
Today's version of the Minnesota
Bean Pot has the same savoury in
gradients, but it can be made much
more conveniently in the deep-set
we'll cooker of the modern electric
range. There is no fire to tend, no
pot to watch, Tor the neat control
on the electric range practically
takes the matter right out of your
hands. Furthermore, the long slow
cooking which is so necessary in
developing the flavor of this recipe
is accomplished easily and eco
nomically. And once the ingredi-
ents are combined and the cooker
brought to steaming and switched
to a low heat-that's that! Not an
other thought need you give to the
Bean Pot until it is time to test
the beans for doneness. Some mod

G. 0. P. URGED TO
ABANDON ROLE AS
PARTY OPPOSITION
Ohio Congressman Calls
On Party to Unite
For Freedom

Signalling further breaks in Or
ganized Congressional warfare
upon the Roosevelt foreign policy,
a nationwide plea was made by
one of the Houses bitterest, most
active and vocal foes of that policy
that the G. O. P, as a unit, aban-
don it's role as the party in opposi-
ton, reports G. P. Trussell, in the
| Baltimore Sun.
Addressing his party colleagues
throughout the country, says the
Sun, was Representative George
H. Bender, ongressman-at-large
from Ohio, editor-publishe of the
Ohio Republican" and the "Na-
tional Republican" and chairman
Of the Republican Central Commit
tee from Cuyahoga (Cleveland)
County.
Bender, who has voted against
repeal of the mandatory arms en-
barge, against the last revision of
the Neutrality Act, the Selective
Service Act and its extension later
and against the lend-lease program
though supporting the appropria-
tions to carry it through after it
had been adopted by Congress,
told his colleagues:
I'm my Judgment, the proper
function of the Republican party
today is no longer mere opposition.
These are times of grave interna-
tional crisis.
Eight years ago, we were con-
cerned with domestic issues alone.
We were faced with internal diff
culties of the most serious nature.
There was room for sharp disagree
ment. We could battle for our d.
verging views without endanger-
ing the security of our nation. To-
day the issues have grown more
critical.
mot for one moment would /
urge the membership of our organi-
zation to give up its right to point
out errors, to denounce bungling,
to condemn extravaganza. But
these elements must become sub.
ordinate.
"On the major job the devel-
opment of defense for our coun-
try which will make us invulner-
able, We must recognize the need
for complete unity. Whatever we
may think of the present national
Administration, we must put these
views aside. We must not permit
personalities to determine Ameri-
can policies.
The time for partisan opposi-
ton is past. Today we are a
united people, with Republicans no
less than Democrats joined in the
cause of assuring American free
DOM"
To take his stand and to broad
cast his new position, the Sun re-
ported, Mr.. Bender broke with the
senior senator, Robert A. Taft.
In many respects the new break
in the Ohio Congressional delega-
tlon - there have been signs of
others previously - paralleled that
in the Illinois representation last
month, when representative Ev-
erett M. Dirksen, another Republi-
can, made plea to "let partisan
ship be submerged"

substituted.

Put the ingredients for French
dressing into a jar or bottle with a
tightly fitting top, and keep it in
the refrigerator. You will find it
very convenient to have supply of
dressing always on hand. Just be-
fore serving, shake we'll the con-
tents of the bottle to blend the oil
and vinegar.
Dip slices of calves liver in
boiling water. Drain. Roll the
slices in flour to which you have
added a teaspoon of baking powder.
Fry in hot fat for five minutes.
Serve on hot platter at once.
When there is but one maid in
home, several small dishes, such
as olives, celery and sauces, may
be passed at one time on a tray.
A meal must be served without
long pauses and it is better to
compromise with the formal code
of serving than to go through the
agony of seeing the last relative or
guest supplied just as the first one
finishes.
For the even distribution of
paint or wicker furniture, a spray
is most desirable, although a brush
may be used with good results.
A most popular form of enter
talnment among women is the
luncheon. The correct hour is
from one to two. Doilies may be
used for table covering and the
luncheon usually consists of fruit
cocktail Or soup; meat, fish or poul-
try with vegetables, or a macaroni
product; salad, dessert and coffee.
The use of the carving board is
not general in the home, but it is
becoming more so. Boards made
especially for the purpose are avail
able. If not at hand, the style of
board used for planking steak Of
fers a good substitute. 1t should,
however, be kept just for this pur-
pose. When the meat is served
on a silver platter, the board is
really necessary to avoid scratch
ing the surface of the metal. An
other advantage of the board is
that the rougher surface of the
wood prevents the roast from slip
ping. 1t also protects the edge of
the knife. After the roast has
been placed upon the board and
carved. the portions are replaced
upon the platter or plate on which
to lay the pieces of meat as they
are carved. Enough portions to
serve everyone should be carved be
fore anyone is served.

HOT OFF THE
GRIDDLE

One would really be surprised at
the many uses of the little ice cube.
Just a few of these uses are:
They are always convenient for
cooling beverages. They can be
put into dishes of celery olives,
radishes and the like either whole
or crushed. They can be utilized
as nests" for cocktails, grape
fruit, melons or oysters. In addi.
tion to their many food and bev-
erage uses, ice cubes wrapped in
fine cloth can be used for massae-
ing the face, and for cold packs.
If fat which has been used for
deep frying is not over heated, if
1t is carefully strained through
several layers of cheesecloth to re-
move particles of flour and of
other foods, and if it is kept in
cool place it may be used many
times for frying. If it is not strain
ed, the bits of food burn when the
fat is reheated, and affect the fla
vor of the next foods cooked in it.
After the fat has been used for
cooking strong favored foods, it
should be clarified by being heat
ed with several slices of raw DO
tato which will absorb foreign od-
ors and flavors.
A perfect cake should be golden
brown and smooth. sickness
sometimes results from too much
sugar. The inside should be light
and have small holes distributed
evenly throughout. We sometimes
describe this quality as fine grain
ed" The cake should be flat, es-
pecially if two layers are to be
placed together. Humps" are due
to overmeasurements of flour or
improper baking or mixing.

first test it on newspaper to deter

apply to the wood with either a

unless a dark color is desired Two
short applications give the best

ishing may finally be done with
wax or varnish. A dark stain is
difficult to tighten.

pr. Rae Lillian Carlson, local cptometrist, returned last night from three weeks stay in Ko- diak. She made good use of heavy winter clothing as there was a severe cold spell in Kodiak, aug mented by a wind storm which reached the proportions of a TO-: mile gale in the Gulf Of Alaska.

Although the residents of Kodiak have vote,l to incorporate their town, orderly permanent planning of streets and buildings is impossible as the Fed eral GovernmentNhas not released the patents to the townsite.

children. Lack of schoolroom space makes it impossible to provide proper educational facilities. The American Legion Hall has be en pressed into service to provide class room space.
 "The Town of Kodiak had ap- piled to the Federal government fer funds to build a school house of adequate size; to put in a water system, and sewerage system, all of which are sorely needed. Their request has been turned down. The lack of proper sanitation is seri- ous. An epidemic can assume seri- ous proportions in town so lack ing in the fundamentals of ordi- nary sanitation. During the recent cold spell; many business places and almost all homes were without water, as the water had frozen. The fire hazard is extreme-a new fire truck is being purchased, but there are no water facilities for fighting fire of any size and what with the crowded conditions of the buildings ill the downtown busi- ness section and the lack of fire proof construction, repetition of the Seward fire can easily occur"

 Phelan had run of the mill" team. Some turned out to be surprisingly good many were disappointments, but at least once every year the Huskies under the Irshman could be counted on to upset the dope. Too often, their dope upset was in the wrong direction--what appeared to be a league winner would drop a game everyone had declared to be a set-up. To give them their dues however, on occasion the Huskies could be counted upon to turn giant killer" and with weakling team would push over the top squad on the coast.
 Phelan was said by his critics to lack that some thing needed in the personality of coach to cement his men into squad of fighters, with the unbeat- able will to win whenever they trot out onto the gridiron Some of the Micks players have been heard to curse hnl-others have cried out their loy atty He seemed to affect different players different ly In their out-of-uniform remarks, the players never seemed to be all for him all against him There too much division of sentiment to produce unity of purpose after the kickoff in many games.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IT

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER IT
 Although benefic aspects appear to dominate today. adverse plane tary influences are active. There is an evil portent for labor which may precipitate an extremely dan gerous situation.
 HEART AND HOME: Women come under a fortunate configura- ton today which seems to presage preparation for splendid service in defense organizations. AStrologers long have foretold situations due to war and a few girls have taken the counsels of the seers There will be reason to make holiday festivities significant as farewells to old GUS toms belonging to way of living now about to disappear. From ma terial losses spiritual development will be possible, the seers declare
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: As the year ends there will be a sense of transition from carefree days to days of supreme responsibilities for residents of the United States Prosperity will be widely enjoyed Merchants certainly will profit. Re- fugees will put into circulation money sent here for safe-keeping Spending by wage-earners will be generous. Importations of fine fur niture and heirlooms salvaged from British cities will lure many buyers.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Men in the uniform of the United States will become extremely patriotic as they realize their responsibility to the nation. Propaganda suggesting that the morale of selectees is low will be resented and will be traced to fifth column sources. Care in watching ones words is enjoined by astrologers who declare that repeti- tion of rumors which are deroga- tory to defense conditions may be serious in effect.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Neptune's aspects are always of marked effect upon Japan which must face terrible defeats in the new year when economic condi- tions will cause great suffering among civilians as well as soldiers. Foresight will be lacking in the statesmen and commanding off, cers who make decisions as Axis dictation becomes more uncompro- missing. As the year ends planetary influences will stir the masses in many nations and revolutionary tendencies will be even stronger than could be foretold by a world shocked at wholesale executions in vanquished countries.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of good prospects. Much pleasure is indicat- ed despite anxieties concerning the future of the democracies.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be lucky as well as tal- lented. They will have intuition and broad sympathies.

A CRAVE SITUATION

The report of Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox to President Roosevelt reveals two notable trends.
 First it shows the anxiety of the administration to have first-hand information on just what goes on in the war Second it reveals that military infor nation, no matter how grave, will be given to the public in all it's stern reality.
 reading of Knox's report may leave bad taste in the mouths of some of us on the Pacific Coast. It reveals that there a certain amount of sting in the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, and also that there was lack Of preparedness, so far as the navy air activities concerned. The U S. forces were mot the alert" Knox declares.
 At the same time, it is indisputable that the Hawaiian attack was object lesson which the ad- mirals may not soon forget. From the way the navy wind has blown since that tragic Sunday, the Japa- nese surprise and treachery seems to have famed the flames of navy ire Latest reports of the struggle in Far East waters indicate that boys went into action abruptly after the first Nippon bombs were dropped and have the situation well in hand.
 It was good news when Knox told us that the knockout blow Japan expected to land was not landed It merely served to launch the navy army and marines on series of knockouts of their own.

ANNAPOLIS ADMIRALS

On the night Japan caught Am erican forces mapping in Hawaii, Governor Charles Edison of New Jersey, formerly Secretary of the Navy, was being entertained in Washington. Very few details of the attack had trickled in at that time. But immediately Edison re- marked:
 Judging by the news so far, they have used the strategy we had always suspected. By this time I would say the Japanese had taken Guam, Wake and Kodiak Bay Gin the Aleutiap Islandsl."
 What ex-Secretary of the Navy Edison referred to was the fact that the Navy many times has staged it's Pacific maneuvers on the theory that Japan would make a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. In fact, just two years ago, the Army and Navy staged war games around Hawaii, and the Army sank" the Navy by using exactly the same strategy of the Japanese -getting up early and taking them by surprise.
 Furthermore, even if U. s. armed forces had not rehearsed these tactics, everyone knew that it was this same strategy of surprise and flank attack which has won Hitler victory after victory His bombers wiped out Polish airdromes before Polish planes could get off the ground. His troops picked out the enc spot in the French Maginot Line, the Mouse, which no French man ever thought he would try
 The fact that U. s. Admirals ignored these lessons is now com ing under congressional scrutiny. But the explanation is not hard to find. It is in the Annapolis clique of admirals who are the real rulers of the Navy. '
