Fortress Drops
Plea to Nozis
For Radio Tune
BY the Associated Press.

A UNITED STATES BOMBER
STATION IN BRITAIN, June g.
The crew Of the Flying Fortress
'Old Puss" delivered what members
described as "a little souvenir for
Herr Schickelgruber" (Hitler) dur
ing a recent mission to Lorient,
where they saw their bombs knock
out power installations.
The souvenir was an empty 100
pound training bomb which carried
a note to the woman announcer Of
a musical radio program from Ber-
Inns Station DLB, which the crew
sometimes hears.
Dear Miss Midge," the note said.
'"This is just dud, but we are
sending it to you because we love
you so much. Hope to see you soon
and leave another calling card-but
it will be much bigger. P. S. Please

Lease-Lend Deliveries
Of Planes Up 6,00096
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, June 8.-Two years
ago today the first plane was fer
ried to the British in Canada under
lease-lend.
Yesterday Col. William H. Turner,
commanding the ferrying division
of the Army Transport Command,
announced that in the first five
months of 1943 the division had in
creased its foreign deliveries over
the comparable period OF 1912 by
5000 per cent.
This" he remarked, ''is the story
behind the story OF the great Allied
raids dropping thousands OF tons
OF bombs on enemy strongholds."
Exactly how many planes are
being delivered by ferry pilots from
the United States 'is secret which
the enemy would be glad to get"
Col. Turner said.
Gen. H. H. Arnold, chief of the
AAF, told the graduating class at
West Point last week that May de-
liveries alone across the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans aggregated 1900.

Diplomas Given 5S
In Closing Exercises
Al Madeira School
1t. Comdr. MeAfee Speaks
Before Graduates
At Greenwoy, Va.

Fifty EIGHT students of the Ma
deira School received diplomas in
commencement exercises at Green
way, Va, yesterday after an ad-
dress by 1t. Comdr. Mildred H.
McAfee, director of the WAVES.
Miss McAfee urged the graduates
to carry over from their school days
into their future work the qualities
of adaptability, reliability and abil-
ity. With these three, she said,
they will be able not only to face
the difficult world of today but also
to make a useful contribution to it.
Adaptability, Miss McAfee said,
sis put to very severe test in these
days of rapid adjustments" She
stressed that reliability is impor-
tant not only in "crisis" but in daily
living. Ability means "cultivating
your own skills to make the finest
instrument possible" she concluded,
which you can offer to the struc-
ture of the world"
The diplomas were presented by
Mrs. David L. Wing, president of
Madeira. Prayer and benediction
were offered by the Rev. Charles w.
Sheerin, rector Of the Church of
the Epiphany here.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Three Meals A Day
BY SIDNEY SNOW
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Whether you call it Rarebit or
Rabbit, there's no argument about
the appetite appeal of the celebrat-
ed English chatting dish delicacy.
According to legend, the rabbit
name evolved when squire re-
turned empty handed from the hunt
and suggested a welsh rabbit" >"
of Cheddar cheese as all equally
appetizing substitute.
lth CneeSe leading ration
book bargain at eight ration points
pound, the welsh rabbit" for
mula is a practical and popular So
luton for wartime hospitality. Be-
sides giving the most nutrition and
appetite satisfaction per point,
cheese is the cheapest source of
protein in terms of money. With
3-4 of pound of American Ched-
dar, for instance, costing red
ration points, you can produce
savory rabbit (or rarebit as you
prefer) that will serve five gener-
ously.
Another savOry cooked cheese
dish combining Swiss cheese with
bread and cracker crumbs makes
it possible to serve six with half
pound of cheese, costing only four
ration points or less than a ration
point per serving.

At this time of the year there
Us considerable entertaining and
canapes are very much nj order
and fortunately they are really
very easy to make. Remove the
crusts from white or whole-wheat
bread and then cut the bread into
strips or any shape you like. Spread
with soft butter, then cvoer with
a mixture such as the following:
Creamed cheese mixed with pot
ted ham, caviar, chopped stuffed
olives, chopped sweet pickles, chop
ped nuts, or anything that goes
we'll with creamed cheese. Moisten
with milk or cream if too stiff to
spread. Garnish with strips of pi-
mento, chopped parsley, chopped
egg whites, egg yolks put through
a sieve, slices of stuffed olives,
capers, artichoke hearts, oysters,
anchoives or sardines.

Griddle cakes are really simple
to make because they contain such

follow the recipe so results will be

night it will keep until the next
day. If for any reason there is no
opportunity to use the fish for sew
eral days, set the bowl in a pan of
hot water, bring it to boil, cool,
and cover it well and return it to
the ice-box 1t will keep for several
more days.
You can save gas by using a
small oven over one gas burner on
top of the stove. 1t will bake small
dishes successfully and will save
much gas and keep your kitchen
cool.
If fat is rubbed over the skin Of
potatoes before putting them in
the oven to bake, the skin will not
break.
If food scOrches, lift the pan
from the fire and place in another
pan, containing cold water This
will remove scorched taste of the
food if not too badly burned.
All salads should be served cold
and on plate large enough to
leave a border around the bed of
lettuce or watercress. Serve with
the salad ball of creamed cheese
rolled in chopped chives or in chop
ped nuts, or toasted cheese on
crackers or any attractive canape
Fruit or vegetable salads may be
served in cream-puff or eclair
shells. Do not fill shells however,
until ready to serve, as they soften
very quickly.
CroutOns are always good IN
creamed soups, but not too many.
Perhaps three or four tiny crout-
ons would look very tempting,
floating in a cup of soup. but if
you put in twenty and filled the
cup, the effect would be spoiled.
Just speck of whipped cream and
few dashes of paprika make a
creamed soup tempting.

a jelly glass over each one? Then
bfeore squeezing them, put them
in warm place, or in a warm oven
and you will get more juice out of
them.
Learn to make a good omelet
and you can tempt the most fasti-
dious and incidentally, you can use
up many odds and ends to great ad-
vantage. A little chopped chicken,
grated cheese, vegetables or jel-
lies may be put on the omelett just
before folding it over. Then be
sure to turn it onto hot plate
that is large enough to leave a
good border. On this border put a
bouquet of watercress or parsley
and you have a dish fit for any,
one.
The seasonings in made-over
dishes are important, so don't try
to get along without salt, white
pepper, paprika, cayenne, celery
salt, onion, salt, nutmeg, kitchen
I bouquet, peppercOrns, mint and par
sley leaves, Worcestershire sauce,
chilli sauce or grated cheese. Skill
full seasoning is a sure guarantee
against tasteless, uninteresting
sauce.
AS creamed dishes are a little
heavy, it is we'll if one is used as
main course, to begin the meal
with a clear soup and end with a
light dessert-preferable fruit.
Bread crumbs are used as much
as white sauce, so have plenty on
hand. Buttered toast made into
crumbs must be used up quickly as
the crumbs get rancid, but unbut-
tered crumbs keep for months
Whole wheat crumbs can be kept
by themselves, also crumbs made
from cheese crackers. Cake crumbs
keep a long time and may be used
as a garnish over whipped cream
and various puddings or made into
a mousse.
