Ideas that may not have occurred
to you:
If you fall short of large trays at
your next buffet supper, whether at
home, club or church, use wooden
bread boards. They are grand to slice
meat or cheese on and are really deco
rative as well as useful.
If your toaster doesn't turn out
toast as fast as your family can eat
it, then use your oven broiler. Pre-
heat and place five inches below flame,
toasting one minute on one side, one
half minute on other side. Remove,
butter and place under flame for an
other half minute.
To prevent milk from sticking to
saucepan rinse pan in hot water first.
A teaspoon of sugar improves the
flavor Of roast beef gravy.
Onion juice or lemon stick improves
the flavor of greens, spinach, turnip,
beet, etc.
Bread crumbs will stick to meat
cuts much better if meat is rolled in
crumbs and kept in refrigerator sew
eral hour before cooking
-
Canned brown bread (if you can
find IT'D is neucleus for quick desert
when unexpected company arrives.
Place thick slice on desert plate,
top with half canned peach or pear
filled with cream cheese. Garnish with
nutmeats or cherries.
Stuff apples or pears to be baked
with stick of peppermint, Glove or Gin
namon candy. Imparts delicious flavor.
Brazil nuts may be removed from
their shells without breaking if heat
ed first.
Mash sardines in French dressing
and pour over your next mixed green
salad bowl.
You'll be delighted with those pre-
cooked dried beans to be found on the
market. Directions on the package.
Just like grandma used to bake.

A "Trip Kit" is compact game and
recreation set for use on troop trains.
Present plans are to install one on
each troop train leaving a post in
care of the troop commander who will
bring it back or have it shipped back.
There will be one assigned to each
squadron.
Recreation, orientation and educa-
ton are the three functions of the kit.
Recreation is represented by song
books, and games Of every description.
20 plywood game tables to be held on
the knees are included together with
a prize in the form of pocket size
utility cases.
Reading for fun will be covered by
paper bound editions of novels and
thrillers. Books to acquaint the SOL
dier with his army, it's history and
purpose, the reason for and extent of
it's struggle in this war.
The kit will also contain an author
atative reference work on baseball to
remove the heat from argument con-
cering series winners in any year and
a world almanac to answer the ga dol
lar questions.
After February 27, our pockets will
jingle with the new food tokens to be
used as change because after that date
ALL food coupons will be valued at
ten points each, regardless of the
number now printed on the coupons.

DR.. Ralph Slater, internationally
famed psychologist and hypnotist
says that hypnotism in the next two
years will have become as important
to the medical profession as sulphanil
imide.
This statement may seem out OF
place in this column on glamor but
beauty is the result of good health
and good habits. A hypnotic state can
be induced in five seconds by this new
method called Slaterism. Self hynosis
can be mastered in a few lessons and
will help students of the system over
come the worst smoking and drinking
habits. Such hitherto almost incurable
habits as suffering, insomnia, neuro-
sis, depression and numerous other
phobias can be cured by the individ-
ual himself through self hypnosis.
DR.. Slater says that by this method
a soldier who has mastered it could
march for three days or longer with
out feeling fatigue, or could sleep
through noise of the worst lombard
ments OF even undergo front-line sur
gerry in the absence of anesthesia.
1t will be wonderful day when we
can help rid ourselves of troubles by
this self hypnosis method.

The Hood River post of the Am
erican Legion eXpunged the names
of l6 JapaneSe-Americans from the
post war honor roll because we
have every good reason to believe
that they are citizens of Japan
while claiming citizenship in this
country" post officials explained
Wednesday.
After a meeting Tuesday night in
which the tumultuous issue was dis
cussed, the post issued statement
denying that economic interests
were involved in the action.
The statement pointed out that
not all Japanese names were remov-
ed from the roster and said that the
post would be proud to replace the
names of those Japanese on our
honor roll now serving in the armies
of the United States when and if
they or relative will make an auth
enticated written statement that
they have renounced their Japanese
citizenship"
The post further questioned the
wisdom of permitting Japanese to
return to the Pacific coast at this
time and demanded to know why
the governors of the three Pacific
coasts were not consulted in the
move to return them.
The statement declared that wS.t
coast citizens should refrain from
violence and pointed to the posts
pledge to uphold law and order.

HimmIer Takes
Command Of
Rag-Tag Troops

WITH THE SIXTH ARMY
GROUP. France, Dec. 20. CUP)-
Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler,
Germany's No. 2 Nazi, was reported
Wednesday to have taken personal
command of the rag-tag army Of
$4,000 gnawing at the Alsatian
flank of the Sixth Army Group
around Colmar.
Reports based on credible state
mentS from German prisoners indi-
Gated that Himmler, also German
interior minister and commander of
her home army, had set up head
quarters east of the Rhine river,
opposite the German pocket in
French Alsace.
The disclosure came lust one week
after the Germans began a series
of thrusts into American and French
lines in an effort to ease pressure
against the pocket and throw the
American advance across the Ger
man border into the Palatinate west
of karlsruhe eff balance.
Germans have been captured in
groups ranging from scores to $50,
but they kept coming back for more
with all the earmarks of being under
fanatical direction. The mainte-
nance of the aggressiveness is all
the more remarkable in the light of
the hodge-podge composition of the
forces.
Among units already identified in
the enemy lines are Stuttgart fire
men and air raid wardens in their
regular city uniforms. There also
were numerous 'teen-aged boys with
the arm bands of the Volksturm
(people's army, patched-up wound
ed, former Luftwaffe ground crews
and grounded seamen.
