Monthly Meeting

The regular monthly meeting Of
the Red Cross was held Tuesday.
Material for 432 kit bags has been
received. This time it is in navy
blue and 10 be given out TO boys
in the navy. These will not be ready
TO be given out for sewing until
September.
Any who have not finished any
knit goods are urged to do SO ana
hand them in as the committee is
anxious to ship.
Some have asked why there is
no sewing PROCLAIM, and notice
from headquarters explains that
even though large shipments have
been shipped to 20 different coun-
tries there still are large stocks on
hand in the warehouses largely due
to lack of shipping space. Twenty
two million garments have been
made since 1889 by volunteer work
ers. In case of an urgent demand
for relief supplies the reserve of
finished garments on hand will take
care of its immediate needs. Until
these reserves are used there will
be no nationwide sewing program.
The material and labor of franz
ing the honor certificate for dis
tinguished service in the 1943 War

Parker. The certificate will be dis
played in the window of the Noun

RATIONING OF HOME-CANNED
FOODS

Each person in your family MAY
give away as much as SO quarts Of
home-canned food during any cal
endar year without collecting re-
ton stamps. Any food which is
sold does not qualify as gift, how.
ever, and points must be collected
for all sales at the rate of eight
points per quart a points per
pound). Home-canned food cor
tributed to school lunch programs
and similar services is included in
the SO quarts. More than SO quarts
may be given away provided ration
stamps are collected for all gifts
exceeding that number. The stamps
should be turned in to your local
ration boards.

The eating habits ON most fam
lies need to be modified as a re-
suit of limited food supplies, but
every family can learn to like the
food it needs. Choose first for nu-
tritive value, including many of the
most plentiful foods, advises Jessie
Alice Cline, home economist.
Food prepared with thought for
appearance. plays an important part
in giving a meal appetite appeal.
Colors, shapes, textures and flavors
deserve consideration. Contrast
lends interest and careful blending
of flavors can make interesting
dishes from commonplace foods.
Reds, green's, yellows and white
in various combinations are colors
which should guide the planning
of every menu when creamed meats
or meat salads, which are light in
color, are served. Vegetables should
provide color and contrast in tex
ture.
For example, a crisp, mixed veg
etable salad or green vegetable
peas, broccoli, asparagus "a yellow
carrots or corn, or a red vegetable
cabbage or beets, should be served
with creamed meat dish. A touch
Of green adds much to the appear
ance of food-a sprig of parsley or
pieces from carrot tops can be used

THE TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR

The typographical error is
= slippery thing and sly
You can hunt it til you're dizzy,
But it somehow will get by
Til the forms are off the presses
It is strange how still it keeps,
It shrinks down in corner
And it never stirs or peeps.
That typographical error,
Too small for human eyes,
Til the ink is on the paper,
When it grows to mountain size.
The boss, he stares with horror,
Then grabs his hair and groans:

May be as clean as clean can be.

If the increased supply is large,

are allowed to apply for more
points whenever they can use
them.
The suggestion to remove pork
entirely from rationing to get rid
of the surplus is out of the ques-

The extra points left over in ra-

New York - When a woman Is
DER own dressmaker, she Sews and
hopes to reap little number that
looks pretty special. But too often
the result suffers In comparison
with smart ready mades, and bears
the stamp Of the amateurs loving
touches" not Of the professional
oh-so- knowing skill.
II this Is your problem, why not
bone up on some Of the tricks that
professionals use?
Here's a list Of dos and don'ts
from Virginia Carter, director OF
r. H. Macy Dressmaking Center,
where hundreds of women throng
weekly to seek chic via the sewing
machine route, and go home with
the solution to problems like yours

The professionals way is to use
wide facing, sew 1t on, hem, and
scissor-slash the free end of the
facing and nail 1t down only at the
shoulder seams.
2. Don't over-finish a hem. A
catch-stitch invisibly put in every
inch or so is professional.

about her husband so constantly
and built such wonderful pictures
of what life will be like when he
returns-that she is out of touch
with reality. She now thinks of a
reunion with her husband as an
answer to all her problems. as an
end to all unhappiness and inse-
curity.
Her husband feels the same way.
He has been away from his wife
and home long enough to romanti-
CHE both.
But when the Smiths are back
together again and trying to pick
up the thread of their marriage
where it was broken by war, they
are bound to find life full of COM
pIcations and problems.
And, because they have counted
on perfect happiness as their re-
ward for all their loneliness = they
are likely to be baffled and hurt,
instead Of patient, understanding,
and tolerant.
They are, that is, unless both
make themselves face the truth of
the psychiatrist's warning and
prepare themselves for period Of
adjustment -. instead of blissfully
expecting a perfect mate and a
perfect marriage.

rolls of ribbon tied with thread.
or applique a leaf design around
button holes for down the front
decoration. Pretty up patch pock-

stitches in cross-hatchings, for in
stance, with few colored threads
pointing up the design. Take
whirl at belt put together with
two pieces of twisted fabric, or lace
up an ordinary belt with contrast
ing colored cord.
8. Keep your dress basically
simple, if you're not expert at de-
tail. A home made dress can be
made to look like designer
dream with one smart coutourier
accessory pinned, clipped or tackled
on. For your accessory, search
antique jewelry shops for, say, a
handsome silver harness button, as
big as a demi-tasse saucer, made
into a pin.
Use old Roman coins, and have
button rings soldered on, or hun
dred-yearold cilate1aine and wine
steward Keys. Use one of these
as a Knockout decoration on a
simple black dress.

Stretch Food
Points With
Cracker Crumbs
BY GAYNOR MADDOX
NEA Staff Writer

Don't get caught short with no
brown points before the end Of the
week Take advantage Of every OPP
portunity to stretch meat and
cheese dishes. Cracker crumbs are
excellent stfetchers, and add flavor
to the dish in general as well. Here
are two examples:
Cheese Crumb SOuffIe
One cup scalded milk, cup
cracker crumbs, IL cups grated
cheese, IL teaspoon salt, Ia tea
spoon paprika, IL teaspoon baking
powder, 4 eggs.
Pour the scalded milk over the
crumbs and cheese; add the sea-
sonings and baking powder. Sepa-
rate the eggs; beat the yolks until
light and creamy and the whites
until stiff. Combine the yolks with
the first mixture and fold in the
whites. Transfer to oiled SHRED
eggs dishes and bake 30 minutes in
moderately hot oven at $50 de-
grees F. Serve at once.
Stuffed Hamburgers a..
Three cups cracker crumbs, 3 ia
blespoons minced onion, 6 table
spoons melted shortening, I 10 tea
spoons poultry seasoning, tea
spoons salt, tablespoons hot wa
ter, l pound chuck beef, ground,
speck pepper, ! egg, Ia cup toma-
to juice.
Combine bread crumbs, onion,
shortening, poultry seasoning and
IL teaspoons of the salt. Add
the water and blend. If mixture
is dry, add enough water to mois-
ten. Combine meat, remaining IL
teaspoon salt, pepper, egg, and to-
mato juice. Press meat mixture
to a depth of IL inch into each of
6 creased or oiled custard cups.
Then put in layer of the stuff
fling and cover with remaining meat
mixture. Set custard cups in pan
of hot water and bake in moder-
ate oven of $50 degrees F. for As
minutes. Serve with or without
tomato sauce. Serves As.

unusual trimmings that give your
homemade dress the stamp Of the
"haut couture"
4. If you use covered buttons,
don't be limited to the run-of the
mill. You can have machine but
tons made on perforated mold
can poke a needle and thread in
and out of holes in running
stitch and can make a parade of
covered buttons something to write
home about.
5. Dare to use out-of-the-ordi-
nary trimmings. If a designer can
line up tight little rolls of gros-
grain ribbon or felt, tied with en-
broidery threads, and achieve
something distinctive in the way
of own-the-front dress detail, so
can you. Have you the courage to
use rings that band chickens -

asking excited questions.
6. Go to town on pockets. Gen.
ter one strategically on a dress or
suit, and applique or sequinem-
broider a design over it. Or bind
or decorate with trimming braids.
For interest and excitement, work
out a decorative design patterned
after q fabulous old piece or iron
work.
Z. Make belts distinctive. For
something more than a band that
merely encircles the waist, find
some one who makes them we'll
backs them properly and puts them
through a press. Try decorative
