scheme of wartime meal plans.
Because of their high fat and
protein content almost all nuts
rate high in food value. How
ever, since their Fat content
ranges between one-half and
two-thirdS, it's best to count
them as a supplementary source
of proteins and a primary source
of fats in spacing out eggs,
dairy products and meat.
The nuts we have particular
reference to are English wal
nuts, pecanS, almonds and FL
bertS.
Speaking of almonds, did you
know that they are roasted by
frying in deep fat. A little con-
fusing, isn't it? However.
roasted blanched almonds give
the average meal holiday
dress. Here's how TO prepare
them.
Roasted BIanched Almonds
To blanch. cover shelled al
monds with cold water. Bring TO
a boil. Remove from heat imme-
diately and drain. Slip skins
from almonds by pressing be-
tween thumb and fingers. Place
almonds on absorbent paper or
a cloth and let dry over night.
To roast, place blanched al
monds in deep fat frying basket
or a strainer and fry in suffi-
cient hot fat 900 TO $50 de-
grees) TO cover; cook until
golden brown. Remove from fat
and spread on absorbent paper
or cloth to cool. Sprinkle with
salt if desired.
Here is a good main dish for
one of these days when meat is
scarce.

SIMMER VEGETABLES

NEVER BOIL vegetables.
Simmering means less violent
exposure to heat and so, less
loss of VitaminS.

sense, otherwise the whole
setup may be a little Earring.
But once it is right. you'll find
it fun and a great saver of time
and effort

Plan Setup

A permanently placed table
and benches require so little
space that even if the kitchen is
small, it should be possible to
work out this type of setup.
One bench could be placed
along the wall and the other
backed up against a cabinet. Or
you can use small movable
table and ordinary kitchen
chairs.

Conservation Corner

The homemaker would do well
to fit up a conservation corner
somewhere in the house.
Have a file or a scrapbook
and keep on hand all the excel
lent conservation advice and
hints now going the rounds or
issued by our government
agencies.
Advice is available TO help
conserve clothing and all kinds
of kitchen and household equip
mept. so there is no excuse for
not making use OF such excel
lent suggestions.
Assemble a good work basket
well-fitted with mending tapes,
hooks and eyes, buttons. darn
ing woods and threads. so that
any necessary repairs can be
taken in hand, directly as they
are spotted.

Color Scheme

Breakfast hooks and dining
spaces that are a part or an ex-
tension of the kitchen should
carry on the same decorative
and color scheme.
Use the kitchen color, be il
red or blue. yellow or green. as
the dominant note for the nook.
Have the walls in dark or light
color and use curtains that are
bright or that have a splashy
print.
Have tailored curtains If your
furniture is modern but you may
d ecorate as you wish if the
pieces are ordinary wood or Of
no particular style.
Smart Accents
IL you are using wood or metal
chairs. give them a coat Of paint.
Make quilted slip covers for
plain metal or wood chairs for a
really smart notion.
Place a row of plants in gay
pottery pots on your window sill.
III curtains are of patterned fab
ric with a lot of color, use white
flower pots.
Splurge with bright colored
linens for the table. Buy rem
nants and yard goods of cotton
or linen and make your own, de-
viSing interesting color schemes.
All this won't entail much of an
outlay, since end-of-bolt pieces
will often suffice.
But 10 do a good job, you II
need ingenuity and good color

Material Simp|ifies Mending

just few of the mending head
aches that we women face these
DAYS as we sort the family wash.
Just little while back. these
would have meant a long ses-
sion at the work basket, but
now that problem is eliminated.
New Mendine Material
With new resin-treated ma
terial. lately on the market,
mending can be done in a jiffy
along with the family ironing.
A piece OF the mendiHg ma
terial is cut TO size, placed under
the torn portion. pressed for a
few seconds with a hot iron and
left TO cool and set. Just a
quick pressing and the job is
done.
According 10 the consumer
division of the OPA. this patch
is almost invisible and what is
more. it withstands a lot Of
laundering-both washing and
ironing.
Patching washable household
linen is not its only use. Holes
in trousers, raincoats and other
colored heavy-fabric materials
also can be repaired if spare
patch of material is available.

. Set Silver Free

Nothing but the pettiest selfishness can
stand in the way of Secretary Morgenthau's
proposal that all newly-mined silver be
made available to industry at world prices.
The treasury now has more than three
billion ounces of the metal in cold storage,
and is obligated to take all offerings at the
artificial price of I'LL cents an ounce.
The world price is only 80 cents. The
treasury is not permitted to sell for less
than Sl.29 an ounce.
We are short of copper. tin. antimony
and other war metals which silver can re-
place acceptably. Decision to free 10000
tons of silver to replace copper in electrical
bus bars is wise step toward ultimately
making available enough silver to replace
$4,000 tons of copper for direct war pur
poses.

. We Welcome New Citizens

A special program in honor of newly
natnralized citizens as well as youngsters
who have reached their majority in the
past year will be held nj Jason Lee junior
high school auditorium Friday evening
The event. under auspices of the Tacoma
Americanization Council representing fifty
patriotic organizations. is but one of thou
sands Of similar programs being given
throughout the nation. This is the fourth
annual affair sponsored locally.
The II Am an American" program has
particular significance this year. The
naturalized citizen more than ever appre-
ciates the value of citizenship in the u. S.
He seeks it by choice; it is not given him
through the accident Of birth. He has
usually lived here long enough to under
stand the real worth, the sentiment and
tradition behind the exercise of the citi-
zen's franchise. He has only TO contrast
il with things as they are on other CONT
nents TO be reminded Of its true worth.
Coming in now as new but full-fledged
member of that great family of millions of
citizens, the newcomer may feel somewhat
embarrassed. He should therefore be given
the glad hand of fellowship and made TO
feel at home in his new surroundings.
Patriotic citizens who have taken the
matter of citizenship and franchise as
matter of ordinary course should encour-
age the new members Of the family and.
If possible, attend the ceremonies incident
TO induction of the new citizens. The pro-
gram time Friday is S:l5 o'clock
Credit for the splendid gestures con-
tanned in arranging the IL Am an Amer
lean" program should be extended the
Americanzation Council, which has per-
severed in its efforts for a long time
Heading the council this year is John A.
Arnold as president. Other officers include
c. S. Fynboe and Mrs. A. w. Paulsen, vice
presidents; Mrs. Guy X. Llewellyn, secre-
tary; Mrs. Frances Nelson. treasurer, and
Mrs. Walter f. Reynolds historian Hon
orary presidents include Lee ]. Carter and
Superior Judge Ernest NJ. Card. Directors
are Howard F. Norwood. James w Ander-
son, Mrs. Dorothy Genna Mrs. Chrys G.
Stacy and Harlan p. Grubbs.

The navy is under promising
planetary influences.
Heart and Home: Women are
subject TO adverse planetary in
fluences under this configura-
ton which inclines them to
make serious mistakes in judg-
ment. They should be wary OF
new suitors and even OF men as
sociates in war work. This In
a threatening rule of the stars
for love affairs. Men may be
tickle and girls too trusting.
Women who are doing mems
work in the industries may meet
obstacles to progress and pro-
motion.
Business Affairs: Msinten-
ance Of office buildings may
present costly problems as the
war proceeds. but the stars ap-
pear 10 presage ability to main
tain long established standards
Of comfort and convenience. In
the cities the great department
stores will continue 10 offer the
most attractive environments
for shoppers. Men at the head
OF big corporations will present
the most confident reliance upon
coming victory by accepting less
profits philosophically.
National Issues: Transports-
ton will become OF more con-
Germ as the summer weeks pro-
sress and Americans start their
usual vacation trips. Again the
bicycle will prove popular. Mo-

. Our Opinions So


From now on. the United States will
become grimly conscious that II is AT war.
Army and navy officials are angry at the
way some of the citizenry, particularly on
the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards, is taking
the threat to It's security. The net result
of the situation is that a strong possibility
exists that both areas will be declared
under martial law.
This drastic step means that military
control would supersede local authority
everywhere along both ocean fronts. The
west coast already has experienced TO mild
degree the exercise Of such power by the
bespangled men in khaki but it was applied
only to expedite the removal of Japanese.
who were labeled as potential saboteurs.
Full invocation would be something else
again-the equivalent of rule on the total
itarian pattern. with civilians taking orders
from the men in uniform regardless of their
own wishes.
Two specific cases caused the services
To squawk about the way their protectees
were acting. New York is now on a nightly
dimout but when the move first started
dozens of business firms-particularly in
the Broadway area-neglected To cooperate.
Their excuse was confusion of instructions.
The navy privately blames lack of assist
ance in curtailment of lighting by mer-
chants of st. Augustine. Fla. for the sink
ing OF two ships not far from that ocean
city. The theme song is Follow instruc-
tons or else"
