RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Meals that come all in one dish
keep the cook cheerful, and the
family, too, if the right combination
appears on the table. When a
casserole contains rice and eggs,
with melted cheese sauce on the
side, there's usually good appetite
response at the table. Try this
recipe for:
Rice and Egg en- Casserole
1 cup rice
quarts boiling water
teaspoons salt
Pepper to taste
l cup white sauce
Il cup grated cheese
4 fresh eggs
Wash rice in cold running water
until water is clear. Drain. Add
salt to hot water, then add rice
gradually. Boil gently IS minutes,
stirring occasionally to prevent
sticking to bottom. Rinse in hot
water and drain. Transfer rice to
creased casserole. Break out four
eggs, individually over level surface
Of rice, place in oven 900 degrees)

THE NAVY
SCRATCH PAD
BY THE
BLUEJACKET REPORTER

One of Michigan's best known
naval activities, the Dearborn Train
ing Station, passed another mile
stone in its wartime career last
week, when it graduated its final
class of machinist's mates and Die
sci operators. Beginning in Febru-
airy, the school will turn over it's
facilities to classes in electricity and
radio.
In operation since January, 1871.
after Henry Ford had provided the
land and built most Of the station
for 81 a year, Dearborn has turned
out some $4,000 graduates in mine
schools, all of them discontinued
now because of changing war con-
ditionS.
Passing milestoneS is nothing new
to the Dearborn school; it encoun-
tered its first one a week after
opening its doors - all because of
an admiral. At that time bare
rock and ground surrounded the
station; there were no trees and
no grass. Admittedly its environs
were bleak. Then the admiral sent
word that he would arrive the next
day for an inspection. Admirals
frown upon anything limiting of dis
order.
Officials Of the Ford Motor Com
pany were informed. The legend
is that Henry Ford fastened to the
grounds. Hardly an hour elapsed
after Mr.. Ford'S visit before trucks
began to arrive. They were loaded
with trees. turf, sod and garden
ers. Bulldozers followed. All thru
the night, and until noon the next
day, workmen planted trees and
rolled squares of sod, much of it
as smooth as a golf-green What
had been a barren area had become
HANDICAPPED vista in less than 48
hours The admiral was pleased;
Dearborn had met its first test.
SEABEES CELEBRATE
Those fabulous Seabees, who ac-
cept a eardonable pat on the back
for accomplishing military conStruc-
ton jobs heretofore thought i'm
possible. cut cake to celebrate their
third birthday this week at far
flung invasion fronts.
And to help us celebrate the oc-
casion with them, Seabee basking
in the Tropical sun lets us In an
a secret which we pass on just
to show you how ingenious the
three-year-o lds are.
Our friend advises us that If
someone ever sends us a grass skirt
an event which we think quite un-
likely, chances are 1t will be the
product of a minded Sea
bee. and not from the hands of a
South Sea islander, as we might sus-
pect.
He goes on to explain that some
time back a group of Seabees land
ed on a Tropical island and found
the natives in business selling the
grass skirts to sailor, marines and
soldiers. A quick examination of a
skirt by one of the Seabees disclosed
it to be of inferior quality - at
least below the standards of the
proud Navy workers. So a group
of Seabees set up shop in their off
hours, began producing the skirts
themselves. And they were right as
rain, our correspondent tells us; the
Seabee-made skirts were far super
ior to the native product, although
a grass skirt to South Sea islander
is second nature. And, to top it off,
the Seabees sold their skirts to
amazed sailors, soldiers, and mar
ines at lower priceI

You see, we threshed out this

Very start Of the war the guy
ment and the railroad people
tried TO keep our patriots OF
the home front from riding the
trains except on necessary jour
neys, claiming the train space
was needed for the movement
of troops. But where the guv'-
ment and the railroad people
erred was in their idea of what
constituted a necessary journey.
For example. they took the
position IL was not necessary
for a patriot living in New York
to take trip TO California or
Florida for change of climate.
Well, everybody just laughed at
this because it was we'll known
that many Of our patriots were
