AN ENTERTAINING EVENING

AN ENTERTAINING EVENING
We had an interesting evening as
we watched some short documenta-
ry films, and then two gentlemen,
Mr.. Charles l.. Todd and Mr.. Son.
kin, who have been making record
ings of interesting folk songs and
dance music in the migratory camps
on the West coast, for the Library
of Congress, played some of their
records.
One, song by a boy of IA, was
gem, though he was covered with
confusion and ran away when he
heard it played Many of the rec
ords, like the song written by
woman about her trip from Texas
to the West, were heart-rending, in
spite Of the fact that one could not
help laughing at certain little twists
of language and expression.
These recordings are going to be
historically interesting, but the in
spring thing to me is that people
can live through such hardships and
still have music in their souls and
the ability to express themselves
hopefully. Mr.. Todd told me that
when they have a dance, or are
happy, over the prospect of work or
some small event in their daily
lives, these people apparently seem
to be able to enjoy themselves with
complete forgetfulness Of the past
and the future. They have learned
what so many of us do not learn
that the present is the only thing
we really possess.

WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS

The next day was most beautiful
and four of us went by car to Sugar
Loaf mountain and basked in the
sun, with a beautiful view spread
out below us. After lunch, in the
shade of some trees, with the rocks
as our seats, we read aloud the
preface to a short anthology called
''We Hold These TRUTHS" compiled
by Stuart Gerry Brown of Grinnell,
Iowa.
This address impressed me, for I
know two pretty good representa-
tives of what American citizenship
means, who are now in Washing
ton and who have had close associa-
ton with this same place in the past.
This anthology is a collection OF
documents, written by our great
men over the period of our whole
history. Documents which all Of
us frequently want and should turn
to, to clarity our own beliefs.
One afternoon received DR.. Juan
Carlos Blanco, the ambassador of
Uruguay and Madame Blanco, and
Mr.. Fernand Dennis, the minister
of Haiti, and Madame Dennis. They
were my first diplomatic visitors for
the fall, and they certainly were
charming ones.
Secretary and Mrs. Morgenthau
dined with us that night, and the
next day Mrs. Morgenthau was
catching up on some of the civilian
defense work on which we are 60
ing to work together in the coming
months. / find a wealth of volun-
teers who are anxious to do some
thing useful, but shall not be salts
fed until I begin to see people ac-
tually at work in communities all
over the country. That is where
the real civilian defense must have
it's roots.
BY proxy, that day, ] learned
good deal about my new job, be-
cause Mrs. Henry Morgenthau Jr..
met the staff in the morning, and
sat in on Director LaGuardia's
meeting. In the afternoon, she met
with another group, which discussed
the complexities of the jurisdiction
of work. All existing organizations
will finally be drawn into pattern
where everybody will do his best
with the least possible friction.
Anybody with experience knows
what this can mean in the way of
difficulty during the period of or
ganization. A hundred times day
| shall wish what I have so often
wished in the past, that human be-
ings could be reconstructed over
night. If we would think only of
the detectives to be achieved and
never of the instruments to be used,
least of all ourselves, how much
more we could accomplish.
Great teachers through the ages
have tried to teach us that this is
the only efficient way of work.
ing and, perhaps, in the end, the
only way through which any civil
cation can be saved. However, we
do not always believe these teach
ers.
DIGGING FOR MRS. MILLER
read through little book called
"Digging for Mrs. Miller" by John
Strachey. 1t is an account Of the
experiences Of an air raid warden
in England. It is certainly different
from anything have ever read by
him before. He is dealing with facts,
whereas in the past he has dealt
almost always with theories. It is
valuable little book and will en-
able people to visualize daily life
for the ordinary man and woman
where total defense is required.

INExPLICABLE


It seems to me somewhat ironic,
That tender care, massage, and
tonic
Should be required Of men who
cherish
A scalp that's adequately hairish.
Whereas unwanted hair that's
strewn
Across the chin and cheeks, though
hewn
And leveled to the skin and
thwarted
When it is barely getting started,
Despite mistreatment, curse, and
scorning
Returns augmented every morning.

 FOOD DI5HEl

GLASGOW. Scotland, Mach 20.- Seaweed soup, stems or sea -tangle and sea moss jelly, swilled down with carrageen may not seem an intelligible menu to the average man, but they are an example of what. Scotland and Wales can turn out in an emergency.
 Londoners got taste of these ''delicacies" at an exhibition of Scot tish and Welsh dishes suited to war time menus. The tasters politely praised the strange wartime food but confessed that roast beef and mutt ton were more to their liking.
 Success of the dishes, made from dulse, an edible seaweed, depends on the cooking and flavoring. Slo- kan, one of the favorites, has to be washed, steeped, stewed in milk and deprived of it's bitterness with iudic- ious pinches of bicarbonate of soda Then pepper, vinegar and lem Il juice are added according to taste
