Come out of the kitchenl No need to
stress this, because in these DAYS most
current housewives are coming out of
the kitchen rather than entering it. The
days of long hours in the kitchen seem
to be thing of the past. Those who are
spending most time in the kitchen today
are those family members who have the
least time. The housewife has completely
detached herself by Identifying herself
with, war munitions factory or in some
other active war work that takes up a
good part of her mornings and ditto for
the afternoons and evenings.
Come out of the Kitchen! Everybody'S
doing looming out of the kitchen.
Meals are assembled as they never were
before. Whereas, years ago a house
wife spent hours planning this dish and
that dish; performed culinary seasonal
featS such as suet buildings, pumpkin
pies, mince pies, and what have you, she
now endeavorS to follow the tradition
but in an accelerated fashion. Her mince
meat is adequate, but it comes from
can. The same goes for pumpkin mixture.
The pie crust is negotiated some quick way
from prepared flour. Gone are the days
when the housewife was an artist
who took pride in producing perfect
kitchen piece.
Like everyone else, they do not have
the time. None of us has time to do duties
thoroughly and WELL because the office,
the business house as well as the home
are understaffed. The lady of the house
has come out of the kitchen for fair.

A Thought for Today


Events which are now tranSpiring and
which have been foremost in the not too
dim past are measured and valued as of
December z, 1941, or as they say since
Pearl Harbor Pearl Harbor connotes
much. But it is safe to say if you have fol-
lowed the news of recent days there is no
feeling that December is likely day to
celebrate.
Before December the world was in a
state OF upheaval. We in this country
were more or less involved. But since
that date we have been more involved
and not less. Events have followed one
another in so rapid fashion that it has
been difficult to grasp the why's and the
wherefores. At any rate we do know that
practically every home in this country has
been disrupted. Our country has not suf-
fered the invasion or the bombardment as
in other countries, but large proportion
of our populatin is in the armed forces
The casualty list increases. An entirely
different way of life has been the order of
things since that calamitouS day, two
years ago.
Right now all thoughts are concerned
with the avenging of Pearl Harbor. The
avenging is to be had at great cost to
this country. 1t is no day to celebrate. AS
matter of act the popular phrase, ere
member Pearl Harbor" is tossed off too
lightly A recapitulation of what Pearl
Harbor connoteS to one and all was given
in the editorial columns of the New York
Times yesterday. 1t was said in part:
Pearl Harbor was the bloody overture to
a program of world conquest mapped out
by the japanese war lords in collaboration
with, but in ultimate rivalry to, the SIM
liar program of Hitler and the German
war lords who had already overrun Eu
rope and were then hammering at the
gates of Moscow 1t pearl Harbor)
created a new unity of purpose which
marked the end of isolation and pacifism
alike, and dedicated America to a world
policy designed both to destroy aggression
and safeguard the future peace -" The
editorial goes on to tell how the firmness
of purpose and the future conduct of
Americans confounded "the enemy's eX-
pectations . :. . a moral courage which was
tested and indicated in Guadalcanal and
Tunisia, at Salerno, and above all in the
death-defying charge on TaraWa atoll,
where Japanese fanaticism found more
than it's match in the bravery of free
men" And from Tarawa it continues; the
heroism we are proud of, and the result
ing sadness that enters homes about
