Washington's
Birthday
Dessert

Here's your gala dessert for next
Monday-as cherries seem to be
the traditional fruit selected for
celebrating the birthday of the
Father of His Country. The me-
ringues, we admit, will cause you to
do some deep thinking before you
ravage your sugar supply to make
them-but if you can't manage it.,
pastry shells, or sponge cups from
the confectionery will do almost as
we'll. Or use a prepared mix.
Set them on snowy white plate,
and fill them with bright red cher
ries-either canned or quick frozen.
You might combine the cherries
with blueberries to carry out the red,
white and blue idea, or fill some
shells with cherries and some with
blueberries. If you choose the quick
frozen blueberries or cherries, fol-
low directions on the packages for
preparing them.
Here is the recipe for the me-
ringues-if you find you can spare
the sugar, and for the filling if
canned cherries are used

Don't Mourn Loss
OF Rib Roasts!

Every now and then. even in
wartime. it does our souls good,
so We are told, to celebrate bit.
1t seems to us that Washington's
Birthday this year as never be-
fore deserves consideration. Why
not a nicely planned family din
ner. rejoicing over the good foods
available to us? Boiled tongue
with ralsln sauce is an attractive
way to serve unrationed variety
meats and with it creamed peas
and potatoes go exceptionally
well. Tomato Calavo aspic is q
neat, good tasting way to intro
duce vitamins galore. tempting,
too, when served with thin whole
wheat crackers. Extra little
touches count in making guests
overlook the usual flve-rib roast
and maraschino cherries. Crisp
roasted salted almonds and lus-
Cious ripe olives add much to the
enjoyment of the meal. Neither
are rationed and both contain
a generous quantity of fat which
gives a feeling of having eaten
well. Cherry pie, truly delicious,
makes the menu complete.

DR.. Russell M Wilder, chief of the
civilian food requirements branch
of the Food Distribution Admins
tration, warns housewives against
the practice of transferring canned
foods to glass jars from their origi-
nal containers. This procedure may
lead to severe food poisoning. DR..
Wilder says that reports indicate
many housewives who have been
buying commercially canned prod
ucts in quantity are now transfer
ring the contents of these cans to
glass jars, in an effort to pass them
of as home-canned products, and
thus avoid the penalties of boarding
when reporting for their ration
book, as foods put up at home do
not have to be declared. DR.. Wilder
explains that even If the foods are
re-processed after being turned into
the jars, they will lose food value
and texture, and may be actually |
dangerous to eat. Experts advis-
ing reheating leftover meats and
vegetables In the double boiler,
rather than directly over the flame.
This results in better flavor and |
nutrltlve value. In New York |
special bureau has been set up
to insure more even distribution Of |
foods. If a housewife finds her
neighborhood store short of any
commodity, she telephones in to
the bureau. which sets about re-
plenishing the stock immediately by
diverting supplies destined for nom
short stores or areas. Sounds like
