Make the Most of
Oysters Before
Hot Weather

When I was a little girl in West
ern Pennsylvania, 1t was an exciting
moment when we were sent a barrel
of oysters. The family and the
neighbors indulged in an orgy Of
oysters on the half-shell, oyster
stew, and fried and scalloped oys-
ters.
The other day I was reminded of
all this when a wooden tub of
oysters arrived. This contained a
quart of opened oysters and five
dozen in the shell. While I was
wondering how the latter were to
be opened. an oyster knife was dis
covered with the shipment. While
it is trick to open oysters even
with the proper knife, it is WORTH
while, as they always seem to taste
better when you have actually seen
them opened.
Perhaps you would like to know
what we did with the oysters. First
of all. we had stew. OF course, We
had them in raw form and some
were baked in their shells, Casino
style. Just as good are creamed
oysters with celery. The celery sup
plies contrasting crispness because
it is added in raw form just
moment before serving. Instead of
the usual scalloped oysters. you
might like to try one of my famous
recipes which I call oysters Michael.

oysters and scallops are plentiful
and inexpensive.
Veal is being featured again this
week in many markets, this time
bargains are found in the hind cuts.
Beef stays steady, with steak a rec
commended buy, and lamb roasts and
chops are also attractively priced.
Pork still remains almost out Of
sight as far as the average budget
is concerned.
In case you have been wondering
what was going to happen to your
supplies of canned goods, now that
tin has become such an important
item in the defense program, here is
the latest report from the Consumer
Division of the Office of Price Ad-
ministration. According to this re-
lease, supplies of essential canned
fruits, vegetables, fish, milk and
baby foods will not be curtailed,
Peas, tomatoes. beans. corn. aspara-
gus, tomato juice, salmon, tunafsh,
evaporated milk, etc, will fall in the
category of unrestricted canning
items. Coffee will appear in glass or
paper containers, because the turn
over in coffee is so great.
Other changes will be noted by
the housewife. Next autumn she
may not be able to open can of
pork and beans for her husbands
dinner because pork and beans will
no longer be canned. Instead she'll
go back to the good, old days and
soak and bake her beans and cook
her pork In traditional New England
fashion.
Can sizes, too. will be restricted,
and only two or three standard sizes
will be available. The very smallest
cans, especially. will be omitted, as
they tend to waste tin. Such fruits
as fruit cocktail. salad fruits,
peaches. pears. pectin and concen-
trates of citrus fruits, which are
considered primary products" will
continue to be canned in tin. Vege-
tables in this class include those we
mentioned before. Other items will
be put up in tin as long as there Is
enough metal available and then
packaged in glass, paper or other
materials. Condensed soups will be
packed in tin: Other soups must
find another container medium.
Pet foods will suffer, as no tin will
be allowed for their packaging.
Other items that will not be canned
in tin include beer, dried beans of
all kinds, baking powder, GER
eals and flour, petroleum prod
ucts, spices and condiments and
tobacco. Housewives are advised to
save their present spice tins with
their shaker tops, to refill them later
with spices that come from the
grocer's in paper.

Novelty in clips is increasing as
suits become more and more i'm

honest to goodness stop and 60
sign, on which a touch of the
finger turns on the green go
light and another switches the sign
to a red stop" The change in
lights is to suit the color scheme

epicure. There is good squash avail
able again, both white and yellow
and broccoli Is especially fine this
week. Don't overlook the nice big
mushrooms that are cheap and do
so much toward lending variety to
lenten fare. Particularly recon-
nended are greens, collards, spinach,
kale, turnip and mustard greens.
Seedless grapes in beautifully
formed punches of translucent green

add glamour to the fruit bowl. Citrus
fruits are at the top of the season,
of course, and have never been better
than they are right now. There are
few Temple oranges to be seen, but
plenty of the King type are about.
Bananas have suffered from the
restrictions on shipping. and have
jumped in price considerably.
Good broilers and capons are
recommended, along with those early
ducklings we spoke Of. Any OF these
is a good choice for Sunday
luncheon, and if you have some left
over you can use 1t for supper or
luncheon the next day, creamed in

for favor-and If you haven't quite
enough of the meat to go around,
make what my grandmother used to
call an "olio" out of it, by adding
one or two chopped hard cooked eggs
to the mixture. incidentally, had
quite a run-in with the man of the
house about that "olio" business; he
insisted there was no such word. and
that Grandmother had made it up.
However, he has been properly
squelched, as the dictionary defines
"olio" as "a miscellaneous collection;
a medley: potpourri: mixture" So
Grandma is vindicated!
Shad from the bay is the great
news of the week, and with the first
catch coming in Washington turns to
its spring job of eating it's way
around bones. You can, of course,
have the fish boned at the fish mar
ket, for small extra charge, or you
can cook it for hours until the bones
dissolve but the very largest
ones. Or you may just like the roe,
and leave the fish to those with more
appetite and patience. But no mat
ter how you take it, like all Wash
ingtonians, you will welcome the ad-
vent of the shad season with open
arms. If you want recipes for pre-
pairing shad in various ways, just
write or telephone us and we shall
be glad to give them to you.
Other fish from the bay and the
river are unusually plentiful this
year. we are told, with perch and
rockfish recommended along with the
.had. Fish from the north continues
scarce, although supplies of Goldfish
and American sole seem steady.
Storms have affected shipments from
the South, and raised prices accord
ingly; cooked shrimp and crab meat
are particularly high. and little or
no red snappers have been available.

Normandie Designer

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 12-The de-
signer Of the capsized Normandie
said yesterday that the fallen giant
could be righted only by its own
buoyancy and estimated that the job
would take five months.
Men and machines aren't power
full enough" vladimir I. Yourkevitch
declared. "The Normandie will have
to save itself"
As the first step in salvaging the
flre-scarred $60,000,000 liner, he
said all openings and vents In the
ships upper part, now under water,
must be repaired and the compart-
ments pumped free Of water. Then
he would pour 5000 tons OF water
into the double bottom and fill other
lower compartments to help create
buoyancy.
To aid in the operations, the de-
signer said it would be necessary to
pump mud from underneath the
83,423-ton vessel. With the ship
balanced" and the bottom freed
from mud, he said he was certain

the once majestic liner would begin
to rise.
As to why the fire spread so rap
idly, Mr.. Yourkevitch said lit seemi
probably that some Of the tight par
titions In the hull had been removed
and also that the elaborate flre de-
lection and fighting system had been
disconnected or possibly dismantled
Quantities OF fresh paint helped
feed the FIRE"
Commenting on the reason for the
ships electric lights going out dur
ing the IRE, he declared:
1T may be that the ships genera
tors were not operating and that
current was supplied from shore,
and when the fire was raging the
current was disconnected or perhaps
the wires broke or got torn out.
This Is Of Importance, for If the as
sumption Is correct, then neither the

doors, nor the whole signal and
