One important factor in our war time morale Is food that tastes good. Food Administrator Wickard hopes American housewives will use available foods to produce enough of our familiar family favorites to keep up the morale of the, family dinner table.
 Cookies belong in the American home. By economizing on beet or canO sugar supplies in other dish eS, you can swing Q few festive cookies occasionally to brighten the home food picture. Count those cookies as an essential part of the days food allowance however. They contain valuable nutrients.

 London.-When the allied armies of liberation march into Europe's Nazi-wrecked countries, they will be followed closely by teams of green-clad Girl Guides. The young women, volunteers for the task of alleviating suffering and starting rehabilitation, will form the ad- vance guard of more specialized humanitarian legions who will lift the pail of Nazi conquest from the prostrated nations.
 Although the plan has just been mace public by the British Girl Guides Association, over 700 wom- en have already volunteer-d. Or ganized into teams of 20 to 30 guides, each group including five expert linguists, they will be known as the Guide International Service"
 Their training - already started will be rigorous, for candidates are warned that they must be prepared to live under the rough- est camp conditions and even to risk their lives because of the dangers from dirt, disease and pos- sibla civil disturbances.
 Guide International Servicers must be experienced campers, able to live in extremes of climate with @ minimum of equipment. Out posts and advance party work will mean cooking, organizing camps for repatriated refugees, helping on farms. In addition, they must have sound working knowledge of nursing, san ;ation, disinfection and general hygiene. Women under 21 will not be ac- cepted, but there is no maximum age limit.
 Because about four-fifths of the British Isles 500,000 Girl Guides are now engaged in war work of one kind or another, volunteers must take their training in spare time or on leave.
 As the first step, camp is he- ing held on the moors, where can- didates will live under truly Spar tan conditions. They will live there, rain or shine or snow or sleet. Re- gently the first field cooking ex- pertinent was staged in the London area. The guides did everything they will be expected to do in any ravaged European country, from building fires to preparing and serv- ing the canned and compressed foods which each team will carry as standard equipment.
 Although all volunteers must pro- duce a certificate of complete phy- sical fitness, this isn't sufficient. In addition, each volunteer will be re- quired to prove that her character, disposition and technical ability" are such as will enable her to live and work among adults and chil- dren who have borne constant men, tai and physical shocks.
 Greece was the first country to apply for the services of Girl Guides teams. Yugoslavia, Poland and AL bania are also on the listI Classes are already being held in the lan- guages of these countries, and to some extent, in their history and customs.

 Transportation Problem
By ANN FRANCE WILSON NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 Washington. Jan. l6 - Do have a set of triplets at home? If you do, WIPE will pay you some very special attention. as befits your par ental distinction.
 To cover the more usual situa- ton of parenthood, WIPE has or dered that not more than eight pounds of metal be used in mak- ing baby carriages. But this wouldn't even get a brace of twins around. let alone triplets. So, if you've been blessed with a simultaneous trio. ask your deal CT to ask his manufacturer to ask WIPE for a special allocation of steel for a passenger per- ambulator. Only be sure you have the triplets first.
 More Care and coddllng
 If you live in the country and have a battery powered radio, you'll appreciate the hints that WIPE Is preparing on the care of batteries. As in the case of many other eur- tailed articles. you're going to have to make those batteries last. So take this advice to heart:
 Don't waste the battery by turn. in on the radio and letting it run all day. Hoard the juice for the programs you want Co hear.

ZURICH PREvIEW OF "BANIBI"

~ SAA 4AA NAAAN
 The average American housewife is always on the watch for new recipes. Give her an idea for a different dessert, an interesting salad or a variation on the biscuit theme and just watch her purr! When it comes to trying new meats, however, her enthusiasm fades. Whether it is because the meat dish represents a larger investment and the housewife is afraid to risk fail ure, or whether it is because she knows her family is very fond of the flavor of the cuts she is now using and can't imagine others pleasing them as much, is a ques- ton. The fact remains that the average housewife can count, on less than two hands, the different kinds and cuts of meat she is wont to use.
 At least this was so before the war came along and the United States started to feed soldiers, sailors and foreign allies, as well as its own civilians. Now Mrs. Amer ica is often unable to find her favor ite cuts on the counter; further more, she is being asked by the government to voluntarily restrict her use of those cuts.
 A real problem. There is no one answer. Some housewives have tried stretching what little of those cuts they do obtain. Others have turned to meatless days. Either method may be satisfactory, but necessitates careful planning lest meals result that are deficient in the essentials that meat provides. There is another possible solution, however. for certain less familiar kinds of meat are more plentiful. These are cuts which are more perishable or have a higher per- centage of bone, and hence are not so practical to ship. Liver, heart, kidney, sweetbreads and meats made from the head. the tail, or the feet, fall into this group.
 By taking her courage in her hands and trying one of these new cuts. Mrs. America not only works more meat in her family meals. but she is introducing them to some prized new flayors. Her wartime meals will have the interest and variety that gre such boost to morale, and her post war menus will include some grand new flavor treats.
 Here's a receipt that involves no risk.
