VERY year from May until
- late Fan it's chicken eating
- time in Dixie" Some of US
have our own yard chickens, and
others buy from the farmers and
farmers wives who bring them
20 town several times each week,
The natural thought of chicken
cooked in the South is fried
chicken But we do cook them SO
many different ways l would like
20 share these variations with Al
manackers in other sections In
tins section, chicken is our least
expensive meat, especially so now
that the armed forces of our
country are getting the highest
percentage of other select meats
Not Battered
First, l want 20 say that Geor-
eia fried chicken is NOT bat
tered. T believe that is the orig
inal Maryland style. For frying.
a chicken weighing from 2 to 3
pounds is best. After it has
been dressed, drawn, cut into fry
ing pieces and thoroughly chilled,
each piece is rolled in flour, well
seasoned with salt and pepper.
l put my flour, salt and pepper
into a paper bag, drop in the
chicken and shake well.
Have your favoritc shortening
in the frying pan a heavy one
sizzling hot, For a young two
pound chicken the grease should
almost cover the pieces. Brown
on one side turn being careful
not to prick the pieces which
lets out the juices brown on the
other side. At this time l add a
lump of butter. cover reduce heat

WHEN IT'S CHICKEN TIME IN DIXIE

The same stewed chicken may
be used for chicken pie. This is
my grandmother's recipe and is
called three crust pie" Before
the chicken is done-just when it
begins to get tender-place the
chicken in a deep pan that has
been lined with a rich biscuit
dough. Add some Of the broth
and dot with butter. Place an
upper crust on the pie and bake
in a moderate oven until the
crust is brown.
Remove from oven, lift crust,
pull out some of the chicken and
place on top of the Drowned
crust. Add more broth and but
ter, another crust, return to oven
and bake until brown. This time
it is ready for the table. The
middle crust is much better than
dumplings in the pie. Vegetables
are never added to this-it is
truly a chicken pie. When !
have two chickens. l always
make a pie of the bony pieces
and giblets and fry the nice

Stewed Chicken

The next recipe I like is for
stewed chicken. After chicken is
cut up md chilled, cover with
water, add salt and lump of
butter Cover and simmer until
tender. This is very good fo~ a
sick person, served over brown
toast. The liquid may be thick
ened, or rice may be added when
chicken is about half done. Cook
until riCe is tender, pour all over
toast, or serve separately. Dump
lines may be added to the chicken
or broth, and this is delicious.

Senators Oppose Proposal
To Send Silver 10 Allies
q, the Associated Press.


Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau's request for authority to
send part OF the national silver
stocks to other United Nations was
opposed yesterday by the Senate
silver bloc.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada designated as spokesman
for Senators from States producing
or interested in the metal said the
group had decided at a closed Ses-
sion that the Treasury should re-
tain its silver to back up our own
currency
I'VE are perfectly willing that sill
yer be used in this country for nom
consumptive purposes" the Senator
said. MI. Morgenthau, Secretary
of Commerce Jones and Chairman
Donald Nelson of the War Proouc-
ton Board have urged legislation
to permit use OF Treasury silver to
replace copper as a conductor OF
electricity in war plants, or its use
in other operations where the metai
might be reclaimed later.

Seantor McCarran said that Eng

of silver monthly for an INDEFINITE
period and that Australia and some
South American and Middle East
nations, including Iran and Iur-
key, also had asked for silver. 4

Ferrying Command Gaining
In importance on All Fronts
Solves Many Tough War Problems
Of Supplies in Remote Places

| Nome, Alaska, was destroyed by fire
Within 36 hours a new 24-bed hos
pital was going up on the same site,
built with materials flown north by
the Ferrying Command.
Suppose shipment of United
States-built tanks operating In the
Libyan desert is turning in a per-
formance considerably below its ac-
knowledged best. Within the space Of
two weeks tank factory technicians
have been flown from the United
States, have studied the tanks, dis
covered the difficulty tperhaps lack
of screen to keep the desert sand
from getting into the machinery,
have drawn rough sketches, flown
back home, designed and supervised
production of the new gadget and
flown to Africa again to install it
in the tanks.
From Australia, Gen. Douglas
Macarthur puts in hurry call for
spare parts for a squadron of AAF
planes. There is no time to be lost.
Two days and 10 hours later-ac-
tual time-those parts are delivered
IN Australia by crew which dur
ing that time has spent only
hours on the ground, and that
merely to refuel their aircraft.
Gen. George is fully aware of the
tremendous possibilities of gliders in
air transport. and the Ferrying
Command is doing lot of work on
this development.
Hopes to Use Gliders.
AT the moment" he explains, we
are not yet ready for long over
water hauls bv glider. But we know
already that they are ideal for short
trips. since the additional cargo that
can be carried by this means more
than compenSates for the loss of
speed sustained by the 'puller' plane
itself"
Largely through the Ferrying
Command. in fact, the AAF already
can look forward to the day when
it may be self-sufficient force. do
ing all its own hauling of equip
ment, men and supplies and thus no
longer reliant on land and sea
transport, which today still must
carry the bulk Of fuel supplies and
heavy equipment
With gliders coming into the pic
ture, the day may come when the
AAF sends out aerial convoys-com-
paratively slow-moving transports
hauling glider trains, with fighter
planes and light bombers as escorts.
Perhaps this sounds fantastic. But
it also might have sounded fantastic
if anyone had predicted two years
ago that the Army Air Forces Ferry
ing Command would have a series of
transport and supply lines with a
total mileage 10 times that of the
combined mileage of the entire
worlds commercial airlines at the
time war broke out.
The Ferrying Command will be
that large before long. Already its
domestic wing alone. which covers
only the United States. has more
stations and more pilots and flies
more planes than the whole Army
Air Corps did four years ago.
