GIVE A THOUGHT

AS we sit by our family fireside
during the blasts blow within the
warmth and comfort of our homes
do we give time to sympathize with
those who must remain out in the
storms wake and suffer the weather
whatever it may be? We take serv-
ice too much for granted, those of
us who do our work within the walls
protection. Many must work in the
cold, in fact they fight the weather
for their living. There is the news
boy, the post-man and milkman who
makes their daily rounds to serve
you. There are traffic officers who
make the way safe for us, truckers
who travel night and day carrying
fuel and food There are repairmen
who watch railway tracks, wires and
pipes, firemen always on the alert
to serve in the bitterest of wealth
er. The sailors on the sea, men in
training in the army, filters soaring
overhead, serving us. To call our
selves civilized, since We enjoy the
comforts and customs of our age,
men must need face the weather.

GETTING WISER

There isn't as much complaint
today about KenneWick children not
knowing the value of money. We
were living in a great spending age
of few years back with luxuries
heaped about us, living on top of the
peak and many of us educating Our
children to expect life to hold the
same and more for them. OF course
even today there are youngsters who
think money can he picked off of
bushes and do not know the value
of dollar because they have never
helped to earn part of one. But
our present way of life has been af-
fected and there is a greater ap-
probation of money and its value.
Children are surrounded by talk of
what effort, time and industry it
takes to get the money and they
hear of increased taxes, prices of
food and clothing, to know that
things are coming harder today.
Don't worry, this may be good for
them, the considering of family fl
nances, of valuing cash in coins
rather than in bills.

FEWER CANS

What will happen to the Kenne-
wick marriage ceremony if a bride
can't buy her dinner out of cans, for
that is what seems to be facing us
in the very near future. With new
method of retaining tin and scrap
steel from tin cans and being able to
reclaim the tin considerably cheap
er than the market price, we are 60
ing to put the can opener away.
There will be casualties in the
household where the canned food
is the main dish if the order that is
up for consideration goes into eff
feet. Think of the grocery shelves
and your home cupboards lined and
spaced with canned goods. Consider
that just in canned dog food alone
this country uses about 650,000,000
cans a year. That is lot of tin in
anyone's reckoning. The idea is to
market those things that will keep
as well in other types of containers
or can be sold in no containers at
all. This is another form of giving
our country more of this much
needed metal.

The more we, of this country, pay
in dollars, the less we will have to
pay in blood and the lives of our
soldiers. That is something for the
man to think about who can, but
has not yet bought bonds. Here is
another idea for such a one to think
about. If the government can't Dor
row the money from it's citizens, it
will he forced to take it from them
in taXes-It might even make the
buying of bonds compulsory by all
those who have savings accounts.
This has not yet been suggested but
it is possibility. The Treasury
Department is going to get the funds
needed in one way or another. This
fact should not be lost sight of.

In most instances the torpedoes
that are launched against an un-
suspecting ship and send it founder
ing to the bottom of the ocean are
not seen 10y the ships crew. No one
knows of their presence until the
explosion sends the dying shudder
through the ship. In like manner
when home town dollars are sent out
of town no one in town knows of it
except the person who has spent
them, but their effect is felt upon
the community, never the less. Such
spending is like the hole created in
the side Of the ship that permits the
water to seep in until the ship goes
down. The slow bleeding to death
of community, caused from it's
purchasing power being sent out of
town, may he less spectacular and
less dramatic than the torpedoing of
an ocean liner, but it is none the less
sure. Look about you at the towns
you once knew as good towns that
are now rundown, battered, ragged,
and deserted villages. What caused
it? The loss of business caused it. No
town can be kept up unless its bus
mess keeps up. If the town loses it's
business from it's trade area, it goes
down. Towns usually go down in
the exact ration that they lose this
business. Dollars spent at home build
the home hown.

House Once a Fortress

Normans called Mons Acutus, OF
Sharp mountain. 1t seems to hold
the little village and great house OF
Montaacute within its shadow and il
has bequeathed to them its antique

Owls That Are Beneficial

The owls of the country that have
once and for all been set aside as
beneficial, according to a writer in
the Detroit News, are the barn owl,
the eastern screech owl, the snowy
owl, the western burrowing owl, the
northern barred owl, the great gray
owl, the long cared owl, the Short
cared owl and the saw-whet owl.
Only one has been adjudged by
painstaking investigators as inor-
dinately harmful, namely the great
horned owl. This owl is found in
great numbers along the borders of
the northern tier of states. They
have a record of destroying vermin
that is little less than amazing.

Every town and city in this
country should pass. an ordinance
making the theft of tires punish
able by stiff fine and stiff jail
sentence. Such an ordinance should
also make it unlawful to use tire
from which the factory numbers
have been removed. In connection
with this if some enterprising SER
vice station in each town would
register all tires according to their
numbers, car drivers would receive
as full a measure of protection as the
community could give them. A car
owner who has had his tire stolen
may recover their value through in
surance but this does not help him
to secure new tire to replace those
stolen.

Value Of Eggs
|OVercOneS
High Cost
Rank Nert TO Milk
As indispensable,
Health Food
Photo.

Yes, eggs are expensive. It is
thrifty, however, to make use of
them because they contribute so
generously to our mineral and vita
min supply that we cannot afford
to omit them from our menu plan
They rank next to milk as an in
dispensable food and supply us with
more vitamins and, while they have
less calcium, they give us more
phosphorus and iron.
According to the recommends
tions of the Nutrition Division of
the Federal Security Agency one
egg each day should be allowed for
each person. This should be a
basic rule as far as the children
are concerned. The adults can get
along If necessary, with three or
four eggs week.
In selecting eggs it should be
remembered that there is no differ
ence in food value between a brown
egg and white egg and that mixed
eggs supply just as much nourish-
ment as do selected white eggs,
which are always higher. in price.
The various grades do not differ
in food value, although the high
grade eggs are more delicate In
flavor, which is important when they
are used in their own form for the
table. For cookery purposes grade
B eggs are perfectly satisfactory.
Some markets offer eggs whose
shells are slightly cracked at a
much lower price. If eggs of this
sort are purchased they should be
used almost Immediately.
It should be noted that as far
as the contributions to nutrition are
concerned, it makes no difference
whether eggs are eaten boiled,
poached or scrambled or as part
OF a dessert. You need not feel
extravagant when you choose a GUS
tard or one of those very good Ba-
varian or Spanish creams which de-
mand gelatin as the base.

But we should thicken the broth
a bit. So we mix little flour and
butter and warm them up in a
little pan. We have now a brown
roux, as we cooked it until the color
became a rich gold. We add a bit
of broth and make 1t all smooth,
and then we turn this into the
stew and we give the broth an ap-
propriate thickening. 1t becomes q
delicious sauce. Our stew Is ready
to serve. It requires only the addi-

upon a recipe all neatly printed.
Now let's look around and see
what we have in the way of leftovers.
Well, we start with a bit Of meat.
There's about a pound Of cold roast
lamb. That makes a fine start. And
here are a couple Of cold, leftover
carrots. That's lucky. And there
are some tomatoes In the vegetable
tray in the refrigerator. And, goodie,
here is almost q whole bunch Of
celery. We find an onion, too, and
we're on the way.
We won't pay much attention to
a recipe. In fact, there Is no recipe
for dish like this. We depend upon
our sense Of taste. I often think
that women, and men, too, who like
to cook, do themselves q great in
justice when they tie themselves
down too much to printed recipes.
It Is well to wander of on uncharted

add them. We now fry them until
they are rich brown.

find a can Of consomme. That is
wonderful. We shall add the con-
somme now to the skillet of
Drowned lamb. And we bring 1t
all to simmer. Now we take our

Baked Beans Are

Dinner Menus

New Englanders have q reputation
for thrift. This estimable trait had
nothing to do, however, with making
baked beans the typical Saturday
night dinner dish.
1t was not the price Of meat
which, when hunting was good.
could be procured for only the price
of ammunition. The reasons for
the Saturday night service is found
in the fact that on that day the
Dutch oven was heated for the bak-
ing and after the bread and pies had
come out the baked beans went in.
Every country which produces
beans has some sort of special dish
for which this vegetable is tho
foundation. In other countries We
find lentils and dried peas used in
very much the same way. Any
recipe which will do for one will do
for the other. In places where
meat is luxury we find these dried
vegetables, known as legumes, used
much more often than once a week.
