President of B. & O.
Talks of Railroads

The important part a railroad
plays in the life of community, or
in the life of our nation, is quickly
recognized by anyone who gives
thought to it, However, as was
pointed out by. Mr., r. B. White,
President of the Baltimore g. Ohio,
in a recent interview, many people
do not give much thought to their
railroad.
"Since the beginning of the war,
and even before" Mr. White re-
marked, "the American public has
had full opportunity to realize its
dependence upon adequate rail
transportation, not only for its susie
nance, but also for its very exist
ence.
But, even though an unprece-
dented volume of, both freight and
passenger traffic is being handled
by the b. e. o. and the other Amer
lean railroads, it may not be fully
understood, even now, that only the
railroads can handle such a volume.
| 1t seems that, through long familiar
ity with the railroad-through al
ways finding service available when
the occasion arose to use it, people
lose sight of their communitys, and
the nations need of the railroad.
IF people would stop to ask them
selves Mr.. White continued,
What would our town be like
without a railroad they would get
the answer quickly enough. For il
wouldn't take them long to realize
how vitality the railroad enters into
almost everything they do, even into
such everyday matters as drinking
orange juice or repairing the front
steps"
Mr. White called attention to the
messages in the Baltimore & Ohio
advertisements which have been APP
pearing in this newspaper from time
to time, and said he hoped they
would stimulate deeper apprecia-
ton of the obvious facts. "True I'M
Outstanding of these facts" he said
will prove helpful in the future
both to our patrons and to us, for il
can play an effective part in aiding
us to maintain these essential prop
critics and continue this essential
service after the war. 1t is unneces.
sary to mention their Importance as
an arm of national defense in view
of the nations experience during the
past two years."
Mr. White was confident that, once
people understood fully how the
railroad and the town it serves are
mutually dependent on each other
they would quickly rally to the rail
roads support should an occasion
demand it. 1T has been our gooc
fortune" he concluded, ito enjoy ;
spirit of friendliness from the people
living along our lines. We will con
tinue to do our utmost to deserve
and to cultivate it."

How Our Recipes
Look to Those
In England
Eqnivalenf Table
OF Measures Is
INDISPENSABLE

American recipes as well as Amer
ican foods are now being distributed
by the Ministry of Food Of Great
Britain. Miss Eileen Murphy, di-
rector of home service for the British
Commercial Gas Association, has
sent us some samples Of material
which is being distributed.
1t contains the following notes: !:
''The American biscuit is more like
a small muffin and is used at
breakfast, dinner or supper. A bis
cult like our own is known in Amer
lea as a cracker" American muf-
fins are like our queen cakes in
appearance" "a very popular
American dish is plate pie. Made
on a plate with crust above and
below so that it can be cut like =
| cake"
English cooks are warned that
they must remember that American
recipes demand standard meaSur-
| ing cups and spoons. A comparative
| equivalent table of American meas
ures in weights is given with the
recipes. Some of the recipes look
little strange to us, although they
are labeled American. The recipe
| for shortcake calls for one pound OF
fresh fruit, preferably blackberries.
Few OF us have ever eaten black
berry shortcake.
There is a recipe for scrapple
made with oatmeal, and for beans
which take only 20 minutes. They
call for treacle, the English term
for molasses. Dried eggs, recon-
stituted with water, are used when-
ever recipe demands this product.
The meat, evidently in chopped
form, used in number of recipes
is called "mince" without indicating
what type of meat Grated raw
potato and oatmeal are both COM
bined with meat for patties which
are highly seasoned on this ac-
count.
All of the recipes for pumpkin pie,
and there are three of them, call for
either apples or tomatoes in combi-
nation with the pumpkin itself. Pies,
by the way, are of the American
type with double crusts In contrast
to the usual English deep-dish pie.

The Governments purpose in pro-

Let's Make Tuesday
Another Fish Dav

Confronted by the ever-in-
creasing demands of a wartime
economy and the necessity of
feeding her family properly, the
working wife and mother must
turn to foods which are easy to
obtain, quickly prepared and
supply well-balanced diet.
What better food can she ask
for than fish and shellish?
In these days of substitute,
dehydrated and concentrated
foods, here is a product that can
more than hold its own, for it
is rich in vitamin content and
contains the minerals necessary
to keeping the body in fine con-
dition. In fact, with the excep-
ton of milk, it is the only near
perfect food we know of.
If further evidence were
needed of its healthful qualities,
we know that the Government
has taken over 80 per cent of
the canned salmon, herring and
mackerel pack for lease-lend and
the armed forces. Although that
sounds like mighty figure leav-
ing ever so little for US poor
civilians" don't let it worry you
there is still an adequate sup
ply of fish in the fresh and frozen
state, reports the Fishery Coun-
Gil. Fresh fish and shellfish are
not being rationed, SO they
should be with us for some time
to come.
We can't stress often enough
that fish should be purchased
at the beginning of the week
when supply is highest and de-
mand lowest, for then you have
a wider selection and less of a
strain on your pocketbook. Why
not make Tuesday or Wednesday
