BREAD STUFFINGS are one
OF the most important items in
:, preparing the Christma s
Fowl. First of all let's clear up
a misleading term often found
In stuffing- recipes-day old
bread. This implys that fresh
bread should not be used. How
ever, the modern formula for
enriched white bread calls for a
far higher percentage of milk
than the white bread OF Ave or
ten years ago contained. This.
plus modern improvements in
packaging. helps to keep the
bread you buy. soft and fresh
for several days in your bread
box.
Probably a more correct term
for stuffing recipes would be
week-old bread. However,
there's no need to order loaves
that far in advance. Simply
spread out the fresh slices on
large baking sheets and place
them in a warm oven to dry out
TO the degree that you want.
Dry Bread Siuffins

3 small onions, chopped

Remove the crusts OF dry
bread and crumble the slices

are tiny and even in size. Chop
onions, combine with chopped
celery and saute in butter. Mix
salt and pepper with bread
crumbs and add 10 vegetables.

FINAL CALL ON
 WAR GARDENING
Professor Wilkinson Ol University Of Connect.
 cut Issues Statement

storrs, Conn.. July ie.--The time ls now for that last planting oi War Garden crops. says Professor A. 6. Wilkinson Of the University oi Connecticut. This is true of most crops. whether grown from plants or seeds.
 Among the crops to be trans planted from seedlings are late va- rites of cabbage. cauliflower. broc- coli. brussels sprouts, Chinese cab bage and celery. Only the quick maturing varieties of sweet corn should be planted. Both Marcross 6xi3 and Golden Early Market vac rleties are 72-day corn. Most va. rletles of snap beans may still Dc planted. Among other vegetables that may be planted from seed are carrots. beets. rutabaga turnips, en- dive and kale.
 only about half the fertilizer used in earlier plantines should be ape piled nov. The soil should be free of weeds and thoroughly stirred be- fore planting. Where seedlings are transplantcd a liberal amount of water should be applied. If a lawn sprinkler is available it may be used on ground where new seed has been planted. The soil thoroughout much of Connecticut is now very dry ana seeds may be slow in germinatinB.

 Byrnes' letter of withdrawal was addressed to Sen. Burnet R. May bank of South Carolina, and was made public by the national commit tee.
 'In deference to the wishes of the president" Byrnes said, "I ask my name not be placed before the convention as q candidate for the Democratic nomination for vice president"
 The letter thanked the South Carolina delegation for it's support History was repeating itself as Byrnes withdrew. Four years ago he was one of a dozen Democrats who thought they had a go-aheao from Mir. Roosevelt to obtain the vice presidential spot if they could But all except Wallace found they had been misinformed or had mis- understood the information ohtasfl' cd from White House attaches.
 Byrnes, especially. was irked and lono felt that he had been black balled by James A. Farley, then Democratic national chairman. But the big fellow from New York ex- plained to Byrnes satisfaction he had nothing to do with it. Wallace was chosen then under threat oi Mr. Roosevelts refusal of his own third term nomination unless the Iowan was on the ticket as a run- ming mate and heir presumptive to the New Deal-Denocratic leader ship if and when MT.

 The convention took Wallace sul- lenly and under eompulsion four years ago and the conservatives are determined to get their revenge this time. Byrnes withdrawal under Are from the New Deal left will aggrayate the anger of conservative Democrats who view Wallace as z Johnny -eome-lately member Of the party, at best. and as the peys0nlfi- cation of the left wing elements oi the New Deal-D Democratic coalition which they would disassociate from examination control.
