TOO LATE TO
CLASSIFY

Tim Seller of Leesburg, attor-
ney for the Florida Dry Cleaning
and Laundry Board, got out a bull
letin to the industry the other day
which contained advice so sound
and pertinent that it might well
have been broadcast to every citi-
zen and taxpayer in Florida.
1t had to do with thescoming
session of the legislature, and /
quote it here as worthy of your
earnest and thoughtful considera-
ton. Tim says:
Within the next 80 days our
legislature will assemble. They
will give so DAYS out of their BUSH
ness and professional life trying
to lay down such rules as will
make Florida a greater state and
better place for us to live.
During this session, even
though its primary purpose should
be confined to the formation of
only those laws necessary for the
winning of this war. they will be
urged from every side to pass all
sorts of trivial and useless legisla-
ton.
They will be lobbied to the
point of evaporation and they
will lose many nights of sleep
trying to figure their way in and
out of situations. Why? Because
we the people want them, within
this short period of time, to do
everything possible for the good
of the county or city in which we
live, help old man Jones get a
job, give compensation to old
John @. Public's widow, build a
new road here, erect building
some place else and do thousand
and one things entirely foreign
to the real problems they have
to solve.
Your senator and members of
the house want to do just what
you want them to do since you are
the voting public. but if you hap
pen to be one of the many who
kick about the multiplicity of
laws on our statute books. it
might be well to quiet down a lit
tie this time and maybe your rep
resentatives can really get some
thing done.
When / say quiet down |
mean lust for once try giving them
free hand and just for. once lay
off the usual pressure and let
these fine men you have elected
to office use their own good iudg7
ment.
81 do not mean that old John @.
Voter should remain forever
quiet. He should advise and sug-
gest to his legislators, help when
called upon. and in every way
work with them, but for the sake
of our fair state and the genera
tons yet to come, don't worry
the life out of them with every
petty personal scheme conceiv-
able.
They're a splendid representa-
tive group of men, sacrificing
time and monev for our welfare,
and they should be praised for
their service

Use Rice as a Meat Extender'
And in Various Other Dishes

SOuthernerS have always declared
that the reason NOrthemers did not
use rice more often was because they
didn't know how to cook il. This
IS probably true about some of us
who use boiled rice only occasionally
as the main course of the meal. IN
the months to come we shall doubt
less be using it more often and we
should cook il so we'll that the
family will have a new apprecia-
tion Of it.
Every grain Of the rice should be
fluffy and dry rather than moist,
and results depend upon the way
it is treated. The most common
method is boiling in a large guam
tity of water. which must be boil
ing rapidly when the salt and the
rice are added Washed rice should
be added so slowly that boiling never
stops.
A large kettle should be used so
that there will be no boiling over
on the stove. There should be no
stirring during the process Of cook
cry and the rice should be cooked
until tender. 1t may be tested by
pressing a grain between fingers.
Then the rice should be poured into
a colander and rinsed with hot water
which will help to separate the grain.
After draining is completed, the rice
in the colander may be placed in
the oven or over boiling water to
keep hot and to become fluffy. A
towel should be placed over the rice
If it is put owe" hot water.
There are other methods Of cook

more pleasant to grow than little

the herbs are even few inches
high, one can snip off some ambi-
tious looking leaflets and start them
off in soups and salads and gravies.
We go to considerable lengths
these days to get things to put
into our cooking pots and pans,
so why not start now growing our
own herbs-using them green In
season and drying and storing in
jars the rest OF the crop?
incidentally, have Just found
an old wagon wheel, with rim and
spokes intact. This I'll press down
into the level OF the ground In nv

between the spokes will 90 various

they serve as delicious herb In
scrambled eggs, omelettes, SOUPS and
gravies, Boxes of chives are usually
to be found all spring around veee-

be a space for parsley-in a short
time there will be sprigs for pulling
or plucking and the bed will last
all summer
There will be space for thyme
and in few weeks we'll make grand

mary for roast lamb and veal steWs.
And basil, the most distinctive Of
all the herbs for adding zest to
tomato cocktails and tomato dishes
( Varieties Of herbs are counted by
the dozen, but here we have the i'm
portant ones for the home kitchen.
Still, If we like to adventure about,
and If we have space within the
spokes of our wheel. or in our vim

bushes with enough leaves for day to

Fish Will Be
More Plentiful
For Lent

To most housewives, worried about
food shortages and point ration
ing, there is no need for alarm.
For fish and fast DAYS go hand in
hand. The supply of fresh water,
salt water and shell fish is more
than enough to go round and can
| be purchased without fear of de-
priving your neighbor of his share,
according to the Fishery Council.
| time to come, fresh fish has not
/ come under the rationing program
| During Lent the normal supply
Of fish is augmented by new and
wider selections because of more
! favorable weather. The fish are
usually in greater abundance and
| at their best. Shad. that soft
/ feShed, eagerly waited delicacy,
will be coming in even greater guam
/ titles to market. along with many
/ other varieties from local waters.
There's no reason why a different
variety of fish cannot be used for
each dav of abstinence. If other
| people use and like some type of
! fish that you've never tried before
it's safe to believe that you and
your family will also like it. Try
ing something new can become a
delightful adventure. Those va
rjeties that are plentiful will most
| likely be lowest in cost. It would
be the better part of wisdom-and
economy-for the smart housewife
to forget old favorites that might
be scarce and seek new ones that
are in liberal supply. After all, the
secret of good eating is in the prep
aration and not the high price tag.
Below is a recipe from the Fish
and Shellfsh Cook Book which
will leave your raticning points
practically unscathed. If you'd like
a copy of the booklet, write to the
Fishery Council at 204 Water street
