~INCE the Almanack made
its appearance in The
~ American Weekly. l have
been reading the magazine back
ward. I skim through the re-
cipes like a bird on the wing,
and then go back and read them
all over carefully and mark the
ones l want 10 try first. The
way my family looks forward TO
these Almanack dishes is GER
tainly a fine tribute to the good
cooks who originate them, and
sampling these favorite treats is
as much fun as dining out at
some swanky restaurant.
Recently while ransacking our
attic on a rubber salvage hunt l
came across some old family
recipes which are excellent and
require only minimum Of sugar.
Here are some of them:

Fighting Mans Friend
nv SHANNON CoRMACK

Within the last few weeks the
Fighting Mans Friend has re-
ccivcd numerous letters from rela-
tives and friends of men who have
been sent overseas.
Virtually all OF the writers have
the same complaint, that they have
written their relative or friend and
several weeks have elapsed and
yet they haven't had any reply
nor have their letters been re-
turned.
This can be explained easily. In
Australia and other places in the
Orient are many thousands OF
American soldiers. They are scat
tered far and wide-Australia is
almost as large as the United
States and letters from the
United States take a long while
10 reach them.
