Twenty Minute.
 Dinner a Treat
RY BETTY BARCLAY

When the housewife comes home late from a club meeting or shop ping trip, she needn't penaltze the family with a slipshod dinner If she takes advantage of Quick-frozen foods. They are all ready to cook or serve just as they come from their. cartons, for all troublesome chores of preparation were done be- fore they were quick frozen. Spin- ach and broccoli, caulihower, peas, 'beans and all the rest of the vege- tables arrive in your kitchen ready to pop right into boiling water, without thawing. Fruits are ready to eat as soon as they are thawed, at room temperature or in the re- frigerator.
 They are budget treats, too, for they are all quick frozen at the height of their season when prices are best. Garden-fresh fruits and vegetables, sea food treats that bring their ocean tang to your ta- ble no matter how far you live from the surf line, give a wide choice to the menu maker. Their vitamin content matches that of the fresh- est foods in any market.
 Here's 8 menu of quick-frozen foods that can be ready twenty minutes after you hang up your hat: Broiled or Fried Paddock, Green Beans, Fried Corn, and quick frozen Strawberries.

|3-Way Roast Is New Idea
 In Economy

A tlree-way roast beef is 6 new idea in economy buying. The sixth and seventh ribs of beef, cut or~ dinariIy considered too large for family use, is recommended as a source of meat for three distinct meals. It will provide q small pot roast, e small roast or steaks and ground beef or stew.
 Pot-ROast From Chuck Muscle. Your meat retailer will divide the roast into these cuts for you. Ask him to saw across the ribs four inches above the chine bone, then fit the rib ends and outside chuck muscle from the eye muscle. The cartilage and rib ends can then be removed from this strip, leaving q long, thin muscle which can be rolled and tied into a compact, boneleSs pot-roaSt.
 Rolled POt-ROaat.
 Rolled pot-rosst
 2 tablespoons lard
 small onion
 Salt and pepper

 1h cup catSup
 4 whole potatoes
 Use rolled and tied potroast made from 9th and 7th ribs of beef. Wipe with damp cloth. Brown in hot fat. Add sliced onion and season. ing. Combine water aud catsup. When onions are slightly browned, add a small amount of water aud catsup mixture. Cover tightly and allow to simmer slowly, adding more liquid when necessary. Allow 45 minutes per pound. Peel potatoes and add to pot-roast 45 minutes be- oredone. Turn potatoes twice during cooking.
 Steaks From Eye Muscle.
 The eye muscle when lifted from the backbone can be cut into thick boneless steaks or left in one piece, wrapped in cod fat and roasted.
 Country Club Steaks.
 Have the eye of the 9th and 7th ribs of beef sliced in one-ir1ch thick steaks. Wipe with a damp cloth. Place steaks on the broiler rack, allowing three inches between the SLlI1dCC V4 OAAG 4AAN0V 0AAA uA4S oNAAASS of heat. When steaks are nicely Drowned on one side, season, turn and brown on other side.
 Third Meal May Vary.
 The meat from the rbis and around the backbones may be cooked with the bones for soup, used as the base for 8 delicious stew or ground and used for meat patties, meat loaf or in a one-dish meal, such a Spaghetti Hamburg.

Choose-Your
 Own-Salad Idea
DOROTHY GREIG

The whole idea back of buffet refreshments is, of course, to give guests a chEice of foods and let them help themselves.
 And now new, bright further ance of that plan is to place, not the mixed whole salad, but the salad makin'S themselves on the table and turn the guests loose to put together their own salads. And do they love it! Nibbling Nellie and Gustful George both get exactly what they wish and enjoy it hugely in conse- quence.
 Fill a large center bowl with greens. Then surround the big bowl with individual bowls, each one containing a separate salad ingre- dient. You can offer three or four bowls or dozen, depending upon how expansive you feel. You might, for instance, have a lineup sonle- thing like this:
 Buffet Salad.
 2 cups chicken
 2 cups radishes
 2 cups cheese
 2 cups sliced raw carrots Stuffed olives 5 hard cooked eggs, sliced .. And, of course, the large bowl
 of salad greens
 Cut the chicken and cheese into strips about 11s inches long and Ia inch square. Slice hte hard-cooked eggs and arrange in small bowl. Slice the radishes being careful not to cut through entirely and let stand in ice water so that the slices will separate and spread. accordion fashion. Cut the carrots into long 4-5 inch strips and about 3-8 inch

f Beef chuck or shoulder makes an excellent pot roast. It can N he bOned and rolled at the mar ket and cut into any desired size. ket, and also by the fact that many cuts which are always comparative Iy low in price are as high in food value as those which cost more. Tender quickly cooked portions of the meat animals, such as steaks and chops, are ill greater demand and bring higher prices at the mar ket, But the homemaker can serve them in many delicious dishes with out in the least sacrificing food value or appetizing quality of her meals.
 Pot RoastS Popular.
 One of the most nutritious Of main dishes and one of the most economical, especially when its food value is considered, is beef pot roast. It Is no wonder that so many clever, thrifty homemakers serve it regu- larly. The lean meat provides high quality protein and minerals for growth and health. The fat Is a good source of energy for work and play. The fine flavor can be ex- tended to the vegetables served with 1t. In fact the whole meal is appe- tisiug and satisfying when a nicely drowned, deliciously tender pot roast of beef is the main dish.
 Easily Prepared.
 Easy to cook and easy to serve Is a cut from the chuck, boned and rolled. This needs long, slow cook ing in moist heat, but that is no diflicult matter when you remember to keep the temperature low, whether the meat is cooked on top of the range or in the oven.
 Beef pot roast can be given great CT variety than many homemakers realize by different flavors in the liuuid in which it is cooked and by the different vegetables which can be cooked with it. Here are some suggestions to add to your list.
 Cape Cod Pot Roast.
 z-5 pounds beef roll
 { tablespoons lard or drippings
 l small bottle horseradish
 sat- ana pepper
 Brown meat in hot fat. Drain 1iuuog from horseradish and pour over the meat. Season to taste. Cover closely, reduce heat and cook slowly until tender, allowing about 45 minutes per pound. Add a little water from time to time if the fat becomes too brown.
 Rolled Pot Roast with Catsup.
 Rolled pot roast
 Q tablespoons lard
 small onion
 1 cup hot water
 X cup catsup
 whole potatoes
 Salt and pepper
 Brown the meat in hot fat. Add diced onion and seasonings. Com- bine water and catsup. When onions are slightly browned. add small amount of water and the catsup mixture. Cover tightly and allow to simmer slowly, adding more liquid when necessary. Allow 45 minutes per pound. Peel potatoes and add to the pot roast 45 minutes before 1t is done. Turn potatoes twice dur ins cooking.

Managing the food budget to in- cIude ali the nutritional elements required by family of active adults and growing children is a vital problem in many households: It should be given careful consloera- tion bv ali women who have the responsibility of planning meals. So often 1t isn't simply 8 matter of in- creasing or decreasing the amount of money spent on food. It is rather d question of choosing the proper balance of foods, within certain range of cost.
 For instance, we all realize tnat we can serve an adequate amount of vegetables and fruits at lowest cost by selecting those which are in season and plentiful in the market.
 Tn selecting that important food, meat, we can be guided somewhat by the varying prices at the mar

Round Table Forum Pledges To
Wage Fight Against Prejudice
Discrimination
Termed Harmful
To Natl Defense

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. -
(ANP)-In a fight to break
down discrimination and intoler-
ance, the Williamstown Institute
of Human Relations had drawn
up a new program to combat the
evils cf prejudice and discrimina-
ton existing in colleges and uni
versities.
In a recent five-day confer
ence, in which six round-table
discussions were held daily, the
institute issued a statement urg-
ing business, schools, youth
groups, churches and social or
ganizations to icin in concert
ed attack against prevalent con-
diticns. The conference was COM
posed largely of faculty delegates
and students from colleges and
universities, and numbered more
than 500 in all.
ADMIT DISCRIMINATION
DR.. George N. Shuster, presi-
dent cf Hunter college, reported
that all participants in the con-
clave, admitted the existence Of
discrimination in their respective
schools in selection Of faculties,
exclusion of some groups from
fraternities and actual use OF
classrooms. and the enforcement
of quota systems as a means OF
preventing growth of anti-ml-
nority sentiment.
Reporting on the problem OF
discrimination of labor, business
and industry, DR.. Alfred McLung
Lee, executive director of the In
stitute CT Propaganda Analysis,
stated in a round table confer
ence composed of industrial rep
resentatives the damaging conse-
quences of discrimination can be
seen especially at this time when
all possible man power is needed
for defense industry purposes.
He told of instances where
groups could find ways in which
tc lessen the prevailing prejudice
against minority groups, and ad~
vocated the setting up of a sys-
tenn whereby those interested III
combating discrimination can ef-
fectly presen their case to en-
ployers, labor leaders and con-
sumer groups.
UN-AMERICAN POLICY
DIR. Lee emphasized the point
that ''certain employers require
that they be permitted to hire
only American citizens, but that
these citizens shall not be Ne
groes, of German extraction, of
Italian descent, Of Jewish rellg-
ious beliefs, of oriental, or OF
Mexican origin.
Special placement bureaus, es-
tablished for the purpose of work.
ing along lines of employment Of
all citizens, were urged for the
program. DIR. Lee further said
that it was thought the National
Conference of Christians and
Jews could be instrumental in eX-
ending inter-group cooperation.
in opposing discrimination in en-
ployment, in continuing to devel-
op factual digests of use IN
fighting discrimination in person"

ification Of personnel policies

soring Of local community prof.
ects in this field.

Briggs Co.
Is Reported

DETROIT, Mich.-(SNS) - AL
though the Briggs Manufacturing
company here wants all the rivet-
ers they can get, theree affidavits
sent to the Presidents Committee
on Fair Labor Practices in the last
two weeks, charge the company
with refusing to employ Negro
workers.
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People re-
ceived copies of two more affida-
Wits, made August 27 and % by
Kenneth Offet and Frank Smith of
this city, who were referred to the
plant for work by the Michigan
State Employment Service.
TURNED DOWN
Offet's statement claims that he
reported to Briggs with four whites
also referred by the employment
service. They were all qualified as
aero-riveters. According to Offet
the first two whites were hired, but
when his Interview turn came, the
employment managr told them
there was no more hiring that day.
On returning to the employment
office, Briggs. says, they were
shown cards which stated that
Briggs was calling for all the riv-
eters they can get" The next day
the three went to the plant again.
Offet claims the first white boy
was taken, but Offet was asked if
he had not. been out the day be-
fore. He said that he had and fill.
ed out the necessary application.
According to the affidavit, the
employment manager said, "The
Michigan Employment Services
knows there is nothing doing out
here. You will have to wait until
you are sent for"
About 20 Of these men were hired,
Smith says, some Of them after he
had been interviewed. He asserts
thai the employment manager ask
ed him to fill out another appIica-
ton blank although he already had
one on file. The affidavit states
that Smith was told he would be
sent for eff anything turns up"
and that he should come back
