Literary Contribution for ST. Patrick'S Day

Banner. Later, in 1893, Admiral

Roosevelt at San Juan, see the
Shamrock on display in those far
distant clines. Turn the wheel Of
Time to World War No. /, ask Gen.
eral Pershing If the descendants Of
the Shamrock did not fill every
vacant gap.
Many historians harbor different
views as to the birth place Of st.
Patrick, but let those gleanings rest
within their research workings that
can't be recognized as incorrect at
this present date. I would not be
reluctant to favor some future or
modern historian to give the birth
place Of st. Patrick as some place
meath the shade Of the beautiful
mountains of Mourne in far-famed
County Down.
AS st. Patrick ended his mission
airy work in the middle years Of the
fifth century and made 1t staple TO
abide and follow his teachings,
though the adherence to his gospel
may at times be lean, we may have
assurance that the coming Of st.
Patrick's Day will invigorate that
memory and bring to newer life his
life work. This may have q great.
tendency to find place in the.
Christian heart, not alone in Ire
land, but in all chimes where the
light Of civilization throws its
glimmering rays.
When the sunlight Of triumph
again dawns within our boundaries,
you will find the Shamrock foremost
In the van that chalked that road
to victory"

Labor Leader Proposes
Home Treatment For
tuberculosis Victims

ST. John, N. B. (ILNS).-Frank
Record, representative of the District
Trades and Labor Council, on the st.
John tuberculosis Hospital Commits
sion, is responsible for a suggestion
receiving consideration.
Record has proposed that the at
tention of tuberculosis sufferers be
extended from the hospital to their
homes He has advocated the use of
moneys received from the provincial
tax on tobaccos, cigarettes and cigars
and snuff, for the extension of treat
ment. Hitherto, the tax receipts have
been used wholly for the actual hos
pital care.
The labor representative points out
that nearly all Of the people who
come out of the hospital are in poor
financial condition and unable to work
for some time. The family income is
inadequate to provide the needed
care. Hence, he proposes that the tax
money use be enlarged, for expendi-
lures in the home.

STATE LEGISLATURES
DEFEAT MANY
ANTI-LABOR BILLS

Washington, d. c. (ILNS) of
the flood of anti-labor bills which
were thrown into state legislative
hoppers, only a few have survived.
"Anti-violence" bills, virtually out
lawing the right of labor unions to
picket and strike, were defeated in
six states-Iowa, Missouri, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma,
and Tennessee. They were pattern
after the Texas statute of 1941, spon-
sored by Senator Lee O'Daniel
In seven other states, measures re-
stricting labor's activities by regula-
ting the internal affairs of trade
unions were also beaten The states
are California, Indiana, Montana,
North Dakota, Utah, Washington,
and Wyoming.
Arkansa sis the only state which
this year adopted an "anti-violence"
law. Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Texas
and South Dakota enacting measures
requiring registration of union infor-
nation and setting up restrictions on
striking and picketing.

WHAT'S COOKING?

When it's all boiled down we'll be
eating more hashes, stews and more
indiscriminate forms of meat, SO
glamoriZe the cheapest cuts, and may
be some of these suggestions will help
solve that "What are we going to
eat" problem Experts say that eggs,
fish and other meat substitutes will
be rationea also before long
Mash a whole or half avocado, add
to white sauce and serve on freshly
cooked caulifower
Cheese or plain biscuits placed on
top of hash in individual casseroles
and popped in the oven just before
serving makes hash almost a glamor
dish
Add small amounts of leftover
vegetables, either creamed or but
tered, to scrambled eggs-two pur-
poses-use up, and stretch. It's good
anyway.
Mix a half cup diced chicken or fish
with 112 cups crumbs, one-half cup
milk, one tablespoon butter or substi-
tute, one teaspoon parsley and onion
each. Press mixture in muffin tins and
drop an egg in each. Bake II minutes
until eggs are done. Serve with hot
vegetable and salad.
Add half cup nutmeats, 1a cups
cooked rice to 11a cups white sauce.
Steam. Pour in " cups grated cheese
and the yolks of three eggs. Fold in
the stiffly beaten whites and pour in
creased ring mold. Bake in pan of hot
water until set-about 80 minutes
Unmold and fill center with green
vegetable.
Onions, full of sugar and minerals,
may be used to fill that gap when we
don't know what to have for dinner
Stuffed with corn they are delicious
Parboil onions and scoup out part of
center. Add two eggs to one cup corn
pulp, fresh or canned, one tablespoon
cream and melted butter, each, salt
paprika and sugar to taste. Fill
onions, cover with grated cheese and
bake.
To remove the unpleasant strength
of onions without removing their
flavor, pour boiling water over sliced
onions, allowing them to steam five
minutes. Drain and plunge in cold
water.

DO YOU KNOW !?

Police Departments of four states
appointed women recently to replace
officers entering the armed services or
war industries. Several cities already
have taken this step. The Virginia
Department of State Police has just
finished training 26 women as examin-
ers and they now are giving drivers
license examinations. Use of the
women, called WASPS (Womens
Auxiliary State Police), enabled the
promotion of male examiners to the
grade of trooper
In Connecticut and Rhode Island
women are appointed policewomen by
competing in state merit system
examination These women will be
trained at the New York City police
academy. Duties of the state police
women include investigation of crimes
and complaints involving women and
minors, investigation of public places
and recreation facilities to protect
morals of women and children, super
vising PAROLES, and taking custody of
delinquent or neglected children.
Minnesota's highway department
has women dispatcher for the first
time replacing the male dispatcher
who entered war industry.
