Shortages Bad?
Here's a Tip!

Shortages and restrictions on
food are making it necessary for
every homemaker to use her in
genuity in preparing appetizing
meals. She Is using all Of her
own pet tricks Of stretching the
food she has plus those she hears
and reads about.
One of the favorite tricks in
grandmother time was to add
extra bread to the meat loaf or
more vegetables to the stew But
today there is more intelligent
approach to the shortage problem.
Instead OF substituting one food
for another, alternate foods hav-
ing somewhat the same food
values are used. And II small
amount Of meat needs to be ex-
tended other protein foods are
added.
So, to stretch the meat allow
ance serve creamed meat in to-
matoes, or serve over rice or
noodles. There are many savory
ways of serving creamed meat,
fish or poultry.

Ueek End Market Survey.
"Delicatessen" meats again, such
as pork roll, meat loaves, cold cuts,
ana so on. Frying chickens,
scarce but good. Some tur-
keys available, at a price.
Good fish, but not as plentiful as
last week. Recommended are buck
and roe shad, trout, scallops, Span
lSh and king mackerel. fresh shrimp
and crab meat. Frozen halibut and
salmon almost at the end of their
season. Pretty adequate prod
uce supplies include cabbage. good
peas from Mexico. spinach, leeks,
spring onions, salad green's, avo-
cadoS, carrots, lima beans and Gel
cry cabbage. Tomatoes are better
this week; so are string beans. sum-
mer squash, either white or yellow,
is non-eXlStent. Strawberries
and pineapples are still available.
e. . Pin your faith mostly to the
paste products, such as macaroni
spaghetti and so on; eggs, cheese
and milk.

'say 'blah," but that might be de-
leted by the censor. But still "blah"
is the word.
There are certain things about
cooking which MUST be left to the
sense of the cook. If he cor she) has
no cooking sense with which to
start, then by all means there should
be practice to bring it out. Certainly,
| one can learn to add enough salt to
gravy to make it taste as it should
And the same thing applies to pep
per.
But the greatest injury which spe-
| Gifted amounts of salt and pepper in
the recipes do to home cooking Is
that 1t atrophies the cooking sense
1t nlpS right in the bud what ought
to be highly developing adventur-
ing spirit over the kettle or the pan.
When I read through the count
less thousands of printed recipes, it
Is amazing to note that salt and
pepper seem to be just about the
limit of American seasonings, unless
1t comes time to prepare dressing for
chicken or turkey, and then there
may be suggestion of sage. Or, as
now so often happens, the recipe
says use poultry seasoning-what-
ever that may be.
Starting out with salt and pepper
10 taste, the young cook or chef
may be told that a pinch of WELL
rubbed basil added to any tomato
dish adds q quaint deliciousness
And with a little package of rose
mary, there is opportunity to rub a
bit over liver about to be broiled.
Seasoning beef stew ito taste
with two or three pinches of mar
Joram or thyme makes new flavor.
A spoonful or two of lemon Juice
added, the last thing in making
vegetable soup gives the vegetables
life Or vinegar will do. A can
OF string beans, heated up, is still
can of string beans. But use some
OF the broth from the can to make
a light white sauce and add few
pincheS of the herb "savory" to taste
and then stir that sauce in with the
heating beans-well, just try and
see.
No need to go on discussing the
countless delightful herbs and spices
all of which are to be added ito
taste" by the cook who is looking
for the unusual touches. Paprika
and garlic, and chilli pepper and on
and on through long list of exotic
f1avors are all at hand for the cook
who knows about seasoning to
taste The worst that can happen
Is that you will use bit too much
once or twice, as 1 did. the first
time tried pink Nepaul pepper in a
lamb stew. But it doesn't take long
to get feel of spices and condi-
ments in seasoning.
Soon you will have on small shelf
or in little cabinet a growing COL
lection of packages and jars and
bottles-each one eager and willing
and, what's more. able to multiply
the tastes and f1avors of just about
every meat and vegetable dish In
the long lexicon of recipes.

Meat Sundries
Extra Rich
In Protein
Bv Edith VI. Barber

The word protein" is becoming
almost as popular rs the word vita
min" since our attention has been
called to the contributions of meat
to the diet. AS usual we only begin
to appreciate something when We
think we are going TO lose it! Not
that we are actually going to be
deprived of meat We merely have
to adjust our choice to what Is
available and to voluntarily ration
ourselves to use no more than the
21a pounds per person per week
until official rationing begins.
We can still buy as much as We
can afford of meat sundries and of
poultry. Then there are fish and
other foods high in protein.
Many years ago research workers
realized that all food materials did
not contribute equally to the nour-
ishment Of the body. The need OF
certain foods for building new tissue
pairing the daily wear for every one,
was considered so essential that
the name coined to describe the
specific contribution was protein"
which means "of first Importance"
Not all proteins are alike. They
are composed of a variety of amino
acids of which about 10 are in
dispensable for the construction of
tissue. The meat and other foods
high in protein which We eat are
broken down into amino acids dur
ing digestion and after absorption
these are carried by the blood
stream to all the tissues of the body.
From this supply the muscles. the
skin and all the organs of the body
select what they need for building
and repair.
All meat sundries are excellent
sources of protein and because they
are so we'll liked and so easily d.
gested they have been considered
the most valuable and convenient
source for the adult. 1t is possible
to get all of the protein we need
in a day from certain other foods,
but in general, 1t is wise to use meat
sundries often as main source.

Collapsible Clothes Racks

Collapsible wooden clothes racks
with smooth, non-sag finish are
boon to war workers who do most
of their clothes washing in the bath
room wash basin. When they have
served their purpose for the drying
of socks, slips and scanties they
can be folded fiat and tucked into a
small closet or opened out to form a
convenient fiat-topped stand that
will hold breakfast tray.

Presbyterian Pastor Leaves
Val!ev for San Jose

DR.. George w. Thomas, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, has re-
, signed that pastorate due to i'll
health and he and Mrs. Thomas
will leave the valley to the great
regret not only of their own church
members but of many citizens in
the valley who appreciate their work
in the community.
Dr. Thomas has been seriously i'll
and recently underwent an opera
ton in Los Angeles hospital. Mrs.
Thomas will leave the valley Thurs
day for that city and in about a
week DR. Thomas will be able to
leave the hospital. He plans to
spend some time visiting friends in
Mcnrovia to keep in check with his
physicians before going to San Jose
where he and Mrs. Thomas will
make their hcme Mrs. Thomas will
60 ahead to get their house in
readiness.
DR.. and Mrs Thomas came to the
valley in November of 1886 and dur
ing their years of residence have
made a firm place for themselves in
the community's regard. DR.. Thomas
was a leader in the work for har-
moniZing and unifying the valley
and the city churches, the organiza-
ton of city and county ministerial
associations being his contribution
to the valleys unity. Through
these associations concerted pro-
grams on the part Of the churches
have been carried into effect.
DR.. Thomas in his preparatory
school and college days made a
brilliant record as a scholar, his
record in his college never having
been surpassed, and that in COL
lege of extremely high educational
standards. In addition to MAIN
tanning an average grade of SO per
cent, DR.. Thomas. in his student
days, was a football player of note.
1t was not until 10 years after
graduation that he entered the
ministry, having been a teacher for
that period, bringing into his
ministry rich classical background
which as the years went on, was
enriched by spiritual knowledge and
| appreciation.
