Household Hints
Beauties Hints
Draw From Seven
Basic Foods For
Each Days Menus
BY ALICIA HART
NEA staff Writer

Housewives should treat their
ration points as they would dollars
and cents-lnvesting them carefully
and wisely-so as TO bring the big
gest return possible In nutrition and
health.
Unbalanced diets are RESPONSE
BILE for many a bad disposition and
inefficiency, say nutrition experts,
and If your family seems to be on
edge, 1t may very well be that you
are serving too much starch and
protein and not enough green, leafy
vegetables and fresh fruit.
In planning meals, be on the safe
side of health and serve at least
one item from each of the seven
basic food groups. 1t will not only
make menus more nutritious and
interesting, but help to stretch your
ration points as well.
Group one includes green and
yellow vegetables, raw or cooked.
Group two, oranges, tomatoes,
grapefruit, raw cabbage and salad
green's. In group three there are
potatoes, bananas, apples, grapes
and other fruits and vegetables
Group four consists of milk and
milk products. In the fifth group
there are meat poultry, fish, eggs
dried beans, peas, nuts and peanut
butter. The sixth takes in bread
flour and cereals. And the last group
is butter and fortified margarine.
Tack this table up in your pan
try and consult 1t before shopping
for your next weeks menus.

Among the constructive elements
that make self-acceptance basic in
becoming real person is the prin-
ciple of compensation.
Deficiency can be a positive
stimulus. Dem osthenes, desiring
above all else to be an orator anc
help save his people, had to accept
himself as a stammerer. He did not
however, conceal his humiliation
with buster, nor decry eloquence
as worthless trickery, nor retreat
into fantastic dreams of himself
delivering orationS that would shake
the world, nod resign himself to
stammering as an excuse for doing
nothing. He took positive attitude
toward his limitation, speaking
against the noise of the waves, SC
runs the story, with pebbles in his
mouth, until, the psychologists put
it he ''over-compensated.' Genius
is commonly developed in men by
some deficiency that stahs them
wide awake and becomes o major
incentive. Obstacles can be i'm
mensely arousing and kindling.
To be sure, this direct type OF
compensation, which attacks a
hated inferiority and achieves en-
inence in the very realm where de-
ficiency threatens failure, is net
always possible. Not everyone can
like Theodore Roosevelt, start with
frail physique and so over COM
pensate that he becomes q rough
rider and a Lion hunter.
Even so, however, a substitution
airy compensation is almost always
possible. The homely girl may de-
velop the more wit and charm be-
cause she is homely; the shy, en-
barrassed youth, with the tempera-
ment of a recluse, may be all the
more useful In research.
The idea that we are made great
by our superiorities and ruined by
our inferiorities IS a dangerous
half-truth. Many are spoiled by
their superiorities, but, many others
have their inferiorities to thank for
their eminence. Would Steinmetz
with his grossly deformed body,
have developed his mind to such
extraordinary uses had he been an
Apollo? Biography records too many
youth who seemed at first the runts
of the litter but who became en-
inent surprises of their day for
chance and accident to be the ex-
PLANTATION.
Involved in successful handling
Of inferiority is the ability to pass
from the defensive to the often
sive attitude toward our limitations.
Faced with discouraging contrast
between our actual and desired
selves, we are naturally thrown on
the defensive. Life seems to be
against us; emotionally we become
apologize resentful, fearful, of psy-
Geological evils. Alibis and evasions,
hypersensitivencss, chronic blam-
ing of others, apathy and detection
nervous and moral collapse-these
go back to a defensive emotional
attitude.
Into such a problem self accept
ance walks as an indispensable

You will notice that no bidding
is shown with today's hand, which
was played In the Metropolitan
women's pair championship. North
and South have one spade trick,
four hearts, four diamonds and
eight club trickS-17 tricks; yet not
one pair arrived at grand slam in
no-truInp. One pair reached seven
clubs, but only one pair. Several Of
the ladies played the hand at six
no-trump, one or two at six clubs,
and one pair made the fatal mis-
take Of playing 1t at six hearts.
With South's holding, I believe
she should make an opening two
bid. Then II her partner has king
queen and a king, she will respond
with three no-trump, showing q
trick and half without an ace.
North did not hold a king queen
and king, and the proper response
would be four clubs. Three clubs
would show the ace Of clubs, but q
jump to four clubs shows q good
club suit. South could then bid four
no-trump, then North should jump
to six clubs.
Now South should be able to
count at least q spade, three hearts
and two diamonds plus six clubs
in the North hand, q total Of IL
tricks. All she had to give her
partner to make a grand slam was
the jack Of hearts, queen Of dia-
monds or a seven heard club suit.
Therefore, 1t should not be difficult
to bid seven no-trump. The con-
tract Of seven clubs should be OBJ
viouS with any type Of bidding.

element in the solution. Multitudes
live in pathetic unhappiness and
inefficiency, when the shift from
the defensive to the offensive at
titude, whether in handling single
| days tasks or a whole LIES char
acter and career, can work mir
| acles.
John Calender was an officer
of the Massachusetts militia and
was guilty of cowardice at the Battle
of Bunker Hill. One Of George
Washington's first duties when he
assumed command of the American
forces was to order the court
martial Of Captain Calender. He
was cashiered from the army, with
Washington describing his crime as
"the most Infamous in a soldier,
the most injurious to an army, and
the last to be forgiven"
No sooner had this tragedy re-
enlisted in the army as a private,
and at the Battle Of Long Island
exhibited such conspicuous cour-
age that Washington publicly re-
voked the sentence and restored
to him his captaincy. Behind such
an experience lies a basic act of
self-acceptance - open eyed, real
istic, without equivocation or ex-
cuse-along with a shift from a
defensive to an offensive attitude,
that makes John Calender an in
spring person to remember.

Ration Plan
Is Ready For
Restaurants
BY ANN sTEVICK
NEA stan Correspondent

Washington, Dec. mo plan for
restaurant rationing Is likely TO take
effect as long as we are as well fed
as we are now according to Rep.
Christian Herter Of Mass, Of the
Republican Congressional food study
committee.
Herter Is working on q plan for
restaurant rationing which he
thinks might be used next spring
II meat and butter supplies become
desperately short. He estimates that
his plan would give rs per cent more
ration points to the housewife, and
would simplify bookkeeping for ho-
tells and restaurants. The consumer
would turn over stamps from his
regular ration book for restaurant
rationed foods. The restaurateur
would figure portion points on the
basis Of the points he had given on
a wholesale cut Of meat for In
stance. Then he would replace his
supplies with stamps collected.
Herter hopes the war is over be-
fore such a plan becomes neces-
sary. The Office Of Price Admin
istration Fundamentally agrees with
that much, anyway. It wants none
Of the grief of restaurant rationing.
TREASURY HUNT
There are no convenient stores
Of scissors, frying pans, or blan-
kets on hand in the Treasury Pro-
curement Service, which does most
Of the governments non-military

so far they have received only tools
and industrial equipment. When the
Treasury purchasing agency does
have goods turned in that would be
suitable for household use, they
probably will be offered to the Office
Of Civilian Requirements for dis
tribution or ALLEGATION to most es-
sential civilian uses in areas where
are acute shortages.
