Report to the Housewife
Most Fruit Supplies Are Fairly Light and Expensive;
- Fresh Meats Expected to Be Scarce This Week End

The period of plenty" was all too
brief, and once again Washington
housewives face nearly meatless
markets on their week end shopping
tours. Supplies have melted out of
sight, just as if they were snow
flakes that couldn't take the torrid
weather of the week. Some markets
have managed to get little fresh
pork on hand, which hasn't an
awful lot of appeal these hot days,
and there seem to be a number of
hams available, if you've saved up
enough Soints to buy one. Lunch
con meats, frankfurters, etc, are
obtainable in most stores. OF course,
some Of the speciality markets will
have a few ~utS of other meats to
offer to customers. and there might
be last minute windfall that would
change the picture somewhat-but
at the time of writing it looks like
mighty tight week end as far as
fresh meats are concerned.
Chickens, too, remain just lovely
memory: even the higher priced
stores that cater to the carriage
trade" are having trouble obtaining
any poultry whatsoever. Fish, how
ever. is still ours to fall back on,

WORD OF WARNING.

WORD OF WARNING.
iThonks to Mrs J. c., Washington }
would like to reply to Mrs. H. C.
P, Clinton, Md, and make a previ-
Gus article clearer as to purpose
I admire her article on canning and
agree that, lacking pressure
cooker, food must not be wasted.
But for the benefit especially of city
and suburban "greenhorns, Just be
sure canning is done strictly by
recipes, such as in Betsy Caswell's
booklet, and, above all, label all
such canned meat and non-acid
vegetables with Boil contents 10 to
IS minutes before tasting"
Country folk usually know this
and TO them it Is second nature to
boil such foods adequately. How
ever, We 'greenhorns, being used to
merely warming commercial goods
land not even warming for SALADS
would be very wise to provide labels
for benefit of any one preparing our
home canned goods for a meal next
winter.
! The experts insistance on pressure
cookers is. I believe. to assure a
product safe in the hands OF any
unknowing user. OF course, too, 1t
Is a most efficient tasty. certainly
speedy method. However, more DOW
er to those without pressure cookers.
Just remember. processing without
them is not completed" until the
contents are boiled at least 10 min
utes before tasting after removal
from the jar

fill with white wine. preferably mus

incidentally. 7 think some readers
should come through with ideas on
what we're going to do about laun-
dry these days. Out West years ago
where water was unbelievablv hard
and rather scarce we used to turn
out a complete wash in cold water
1t is merely a matter of using a
separate water for each article. dip
ping the article lightly in the water
and rubbing it with soap on the
soiled parts. Then roll up the gar
ment and let is remain full of soap
while you do the same on the rest of
the laundry. 1t takes about pint
of water for dozen handkerchiefs
by this method, and it proved to US
that you don't need gallons of hot
water to DO satisfactory wash!

On Monday, Lieutenant Joanne
p. Coates, who is stationed at the
Dover Recruiting Office for the
present will visit Milford and with
Mrs. G. Marshall Townsend, will
set up a program for weekly re-
cruiting in Milford. In the mean
time. If there should be those who
would wish an application for join
ing the Women's Army, Mrs. Town
send will help with the application
and see that it reaches the proper
authorities.
The present strength Of the Wo-
mems Army Auxiliary Corps is
about $4,000 and by July 1, il must
be 100000. This indicates the ur-
gency of the call for recruits and
the speed with which the recruit
ing must be done. More and more
men are being replaced with
WAACS who are relieving man
power for combat duty. This is the
most wonderful opportunity to
serve your country and at the time
when it is most needed. Call the
local recruiting officer at 1S1 and
she will help in all the ways she
can.

SCHOOL NO. 3

The ninth grades experience dur
ing the last two weeks of school
will be long remembered. On May
8, the class attended the Youths
Conference at Dover where they
gathered an abundance of infOrma-
ton OH the topic What Are the
Primary Problems and Concerns
of Youth During War Times" On
May 12. they and their parents
were the guests at banquet given
by the faculty. Attending this elab-
crate affair was Lieutenant Taylor,
the highest ranking Negro on the
National Council of the Scouts. He
gave an inspiring talk on the value
of the Scout Movement and ex-
planned the financial campaign on
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. Indi-
cative of the inspiration derived
from his talk is the fact that he
leading Negro citizens of our town
contributed s5S in two days. One
solicitor, Mr.. Isaac Blackston, well
known barber. collected $35.
Following the closing exercises
Monday night, the class. their par
ents and teachers, ministers and
their wives were highly entertained
by Mr.. Marshall Bell who. for the
second successive year, closed his
place of business to entertain the
senior class. The entire class
plans to return next year to enter
the tenth grade which will be added
the school for the next term.
