Wartime meals are apt to be monotonous and drab unless some imagination is used to lend variety. Everyday foods may be served in many new and interesting ways. The ingenious homemaker has learned to stretch point-rationed foods with those more readily avail able.
 Small amounts of ground meat or leftover chopped meat may be pre- pared in a variety of tasty main dishes. A well-seasoned white sauce made with milk may be used as the basis for a meat and vegetable shortcake fluffy biscuits topped with creamed meat and vegetables. Or the same creamed meat-vege- table mixture is delicious served on Drowned rice or toasted mullins or rolls.
 A new and unusual combination of these basic foods is Upside Down Meat Muffins served with 2 savory Onion-horseradish sauce. The meat may be seasoned to suit the fannily'a taste and the sauce may be varied with the addition of cooked vege- tables. A sauce of this kind is an ideal way to use small amounts ot leftover cooked vegetables

 Nor do you have to search to find 8 matching spot of red for costume accessories" says fashion wise Salina Mahri, Powers model. Look for 1t in the rose, ribbon or veil on hat; in the snood that binds up your hair.'
 Salina suggests as other acces- sory tie-ups a lapel flower, a pair of red earrings, a bright handker- chief poking out from pocket.
 While you're using these red notes, which match your lipstick and nail enamel as though they had been dipped in the same pool of color, remember that your skin, too, should be in rosy harmony warns Salina and select a shade of powder that completes the en- Semble.

No Fat for the Boys

AS she spoke she unwrapped the small parcel of boiled ham she had taken from the icebox and took down a sharp knife from the rack.
 T cut of the fat" she explained They don't like 1t, but if I were making sandwich for my husband he would want the fat left on." She paced oil the narrow borders of white fat as she spoge. then placed the ham on lettuce leaves, daubed 1t with mustard and pressed 1t between the bread. Then she gathered up those fate scraps from the ham and crlunpled them up ill the oiled paper the ham had been wrapped in as iof she had no fur ther use for them.
 From a Quarter of 2 Pound
 Here was our chance. We came forward, retrieved those scraps and asked her for a small skillet. Into 1t we put the scraps, turned the gas down low, and said, Lets just see if ye can't save little fatt here."
 Those meek little scraps melted and from them we salvaged exact ly four and half teaspoonfuls, or a tablespoonful and half of fat. That much fat from quarter of a pound of boiled haml
 That simple operation yielded more fat than the amount asked for daily by the government from every home. We are all pleased and surprised that even 8 ham sandwich can play a part in the fat conservation program.

mentS require a high degree of technical skill. These should be given only by a scientifically trained person such as the doctor or professional nurse, who can rec ognize danger signals and give proper emergency care if the pa- tient reacts unfavorably. Other treatments are comparatively sim- pie and can be safely given by the home nurse who has learned to follow instructions carefully, and who understands the importance of accuracy.
 CAN CAUSE INJURY
 Even though treatment is sim pie, if not properly given it may increase the discomfort of the pa- tient or actually be harmful to him. For example, 1t would seem that us- ing nose spray would be treat ment that anyone could give. And yet the unskilled use of a nose spray may force infections mater ial into the sinuses and ears and cause serious trouble. It should never be used unless ordered by the doctor, and only after detailed instructions.
 It may seem 8 simple matter to open a pi1nple on the face, yet this is & very dangerous procedure and should not be attempted by the home nurse. The needle or pin used may not be entirely free of germs, and serious or even fatal infection may follow. Pinching or sqeezing a pimple to open it bruises the tis- sues, weakens theil resistance and increases the inflammation and swelling.
 So you see it is just as inpor- tant for the home nurse to know what not to do as to know what she may do with safety.

Then as she opened the door of the refrigerator she said, "The boys are getting ham sand wiches too for lunch on whole wheat bread. They have large ap- petties and demand two sandwiches eaCho

islation to protect labor union
members who are the victims of
illegal or arbitrary conduct within

today by an extraordinary Orange
County Supreme Court grand jury.
The recommendations grew out of
an l8-month investigation into
charges of labor racketeering on the
$500, 900 900 Delaware Aqueduct prof.
ect in the Hudson Valley. The aque-

Union members who are the vic

They may complain to the interna-

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-Neville
Miller, president OF the National As
sociation of Broadcasters. said yes
terday that the radio law of 1927
permitted the Federal Communica-
tions Commission Ito exceed its
powers in many Spheres and now
there is no way to kick the commits
sion back to its rightful place with
out new law"
Mr.. Miller. addressing the Radio
Executives Club, said there would
be complete governmental control Of
radio programs, station ownership
and personnel unless Congress
passes a new law to replace the one
by which radio has been regulated
the past II years"
Charging the FEC had displayed
opposition to any law permitting
radio station operators to appeal
from its decisions through the courts
Ior Congress, Mr.. Miller said:
There's no way to attack an FEC
ruling without putting your station
license in jeopardy. If you lose your
appeal, you lose your license.
In the law of 1927, Congress in
advertently left a slight crack in
the door to permit regulation of
programs in certain cases. But in
the last II years the court has kicked
the door wide open-even kicked the
door of its hinges"
Mr.. Miller urged passage of the

cifically the powers of the FEC in
granting and renewing station
licenses and which would eliminate.

Revised owl Directive
Bans Official Guessing
when War Will End

Public speculation by Govern
ment officials about the time of
the wars end has been forbid
den under a revised wartime
news policy which was adopted
by q meeting Of representatives
of IL Government agencies. It
goes into effect today.
Elmer Davis, director Of the Once
Of War Information. who called yes
terday's parley. also announced
that onicials may discuss only with
great care the probabilities con-
nected with economic developments
and must refrain from discussing
activities for which they are not
responsible.
Mr.. Davis. emphasizing that the
Owl Is seeking to assure that the
now Of governmental news on the
home front Is accurate and con-
sistent." said the revised policy has
been approved by James r. Byrnes,
director Of war mobiliza ton, and
Bernard Baruch, chief OF the ad-
visory unit for war and postwar
adjustment policies.
Delineates Policy.
The OWL said that oficials' state
ments and news releases must recog-
nize that % No extensive resump-
ton Of civilian production is, pos
sible at this time. 90 Even minor
shifts must be most carefully un-
dertaken because 1t is folly to gam
Bile on the course of the invasion,
and 90 Short-term shocks are like
ly, but employment slacks generally
should be absorbed by production
shifts without serious delay.
. Mr.. Davis presided at the meeting
which formulated the policy. At
tending the parley were high OH
cials Of the War and Navy Depart
ments, Selective Service, War Pro-
duction Board, War Manpower
Commission. Once of Defense
Transportation, Commerce Depart
ment, Foreign Economic Admins
tration. War Food Administratio
Maritime Commission and War La
Dor Board.
Mr.. Davis said he had called the
meeting to ask Cooperation in the
job of helping the people under
stand" what is expected of them
during the coming months which
he described as the most exacting
and most critical period of the war.
Co-operates With Services.
The once Of War Information
is cooperating with the Army and
Navy Public Relations Bureaus" Mr..
Davis said. Ito help them see that
the news Of military operations is
brought to the people Just as fast
and as fully as genuine considera-
tions of military security will per-
nit.
Il hope We can all keep together
to see that the flow of governmental
news on the home front is accu-
rate and consistent, so that the peo-
pie will understand what is asked
Of them and the reasons"
In reference too the policy of
avoiding speculation as to the end
Of the war, the policy statement
said that such speculation is idle;
must be based on assumptions; is
almost certain to be inaccurate ex-
cept within very broad limits. 1t
creates either excessive confidence
or fear"
