of the city's "eye-Sore" on west
Main street
so, if it's an eye-Sore," linn
continued, 'it's the people of I'M
perial county's headache because
the chamber has tried to do some
thing to make it attractive for cour
house visitors and valley tourists
He also said that the chamber
has wanted to go in and level and
landscape the county park, which
due to a recent grass fire looks
considerably the worse for wear. For
many years nothing has been done
to the block which is county prop
erty with the exception of the
planting of trees.
In this regard Zinn added, that
most of Imperial county people
do not know that this park is coun-
ty property and not city property,
and that this city cannot do a
thing to the park without the con-
sent of the beard of supervisors.
Neither the city nor the chamber
of commerce is interested in OBJ
tanning title to the property, he
continued, but the fact remains
that the county has maintained a
diSinterested attitude.
linn also thought that it was
the city's job to make the improve
ments and landscape the park
should arrangements be made, as
neither his committee nor the
chamber has the funds to do the
Job.

The Germans carried out the

Our bodies, minds and souls need
rest and sleep if we are to function
efficiently. That's why businessmen

periods That's why, as a Nation,
We find it economically wise, apart

serve Sunday as day of rest.
During these war days when life is
so rushed and so filled with a con-

and services to be rendered, there is
danger that we will forget this
lesson. If we do, our accomplish
ment will suffer and our national
health will be endangered.
Fatigue is natures signal for
rest. 1t is the safety device that

Light Cream
May be Whipped
By Edith VI. Barber

The questions that have been
coming to my desk AS you may
have guessed many of them have
had to do with the method OF max
ing this thin. so-called cream whip.
which will be the only type avail
able for the duration. AS I have
said before, it is only when we are
deprived of something that we be-
gin to appreciate 1t, otherwise We
Just take it for granted.
All of us food experts consult
each other in regard to results Of
our experiments. Professionally
trained people are always generous
and I gratefully give credit to Ellen
Anne Dunham of General Foods
and Beulah Gillespie OF Sealtest
Kitchen for basic recipes. OF course.
we all turned to gelatin to help
US out in our experiments. Miss
Durham recommends a teaspoon
and a half of granulated gelatin,
Softened in one-fourth cup of milk
and then stirred over hot water
until dissolved. A cup of cream Is
added to this and the mixture is
chilled In the refrigerator about
half an hour, until it sets. Then 1t
is beaten with rotary beater until
it thickens. It takes from to 7
minutes depending upon the age of
the cream which you use After
1t Is thick it should be stirred with
spoon and put into the refrigera-
tor to remain until you use it. OF
course, it should be covered.
Miss Gillespie sprinkles one tea
spoon of gelatin over four table
spoons of cold water. Three table
spoons of scalded cream are then
added and the mixture stirred until
dissolved. The remaining cream is
mixed with this and chilled for
two and half hours before beat
ing. Another suggestion which
comes from the Sealtest Kitchen
Is the addition of one-fourth tea
spoon lemon juice to cream which
Is at least "a hours old before whip
ping.
These whipped creams may be
used as garnish or may be folded
into any recipe which demands
whipped cream, for Bavarian cream
or for a Charlotte. or for that pop
ular sugarless recipe made with
thin chocolate or ginger cookies,
or for that refrigerator cheese cake.
