Macar0ni Makes More

Skilled meal planners have long
recognized the unique value of
point-free macaroni products in
their wartime food budgets. This
trio of energy foods-macaroni, spa
ghetti and egg noodles-can work
wonders when used as meat extend
ers and to help save precious ration
points. With willingness for ad-
venture, any homemaker can bring
to her table flavorful and nutritious
dishes that will satisfy the heartiest
of appetites by simply combining
any one Of these foods with small
quantities Of low-point meat cuts
or vegetables.

Report to the Housewife

fish supply to a certain extent, but
you'll find a good many of the ole
standbys in local markets this week

trout, rockflsh or croakers, fresh
founders, sea bass, porgies and but
terfish will be plentiful. Therell be
some haddock and perch fillets avail
able. but no filleted sole or mackerel
to be had. Adequate supplies OF
whiting, Spanish mackerel, mullets
claw and regular crab meat, as well
as raw shrimp, round out a fairly
good list.
All cuts of lamb and all cuts OF
veal will grace the butcher stalls
Pork roasts and fresh and smoked
picnics are also being featured in
many markets. Beef will be scarce
this week, from present indications
but there is pretty good supply OF
meat sundries to exc out the ration
budget. In the poultry line, stewing
fowl and bakers are scarcer than
they have been, but fryers will be
plentiful and reasonably priced
Eggs continue to be bargain buys.
Although the butter picture looks
gloomier and gloomier, reports are
that there will be more margarine
available in the coming months
Improvements in other fats and oils
is also indicated. But cheese, alas
is rapidly fading into the limbo of
forgotten joys, what with shortages
and higher point values. Foaming
soufhes, luscious fondues and pun
gent bit of cheese on crusty French
bread seem to be out for the dura-
ton. Cream, however, that has been
missing from many refrigerators of
late, seems to have staged come
back, and most markets report good
supplies on hand at present.

either, for stocks have been heavy
for some time now. This should
please those housekeepers who have
been mourning the scarcity of desic-
Gated coconut-most of which used
to come from the Philippines and
other South Pacific islands. Fur
ther shortage has been caused by
the local demand for coconut oil in
Puerto Rico and other coconut-
growing countries in this hemi-
sphere not cut off by war. At the
same time, the higher prices that
could be had for coconuts in the
United States encouraged shippers
to bring in fresh coconuts on small
schooners not under wartime ship

over shrimp, rather generously, salt,
red pepper, whole celery seed, few
pieces of bay leaves, whole allspice,
whole thyme, whole mustard seed.
Continue this layer by layer, until
you use all the shrimp. 1t Is best
to have the pie pan a bit smaller

water and vinegar so the steam can
circulate. Place pie pan on rack,
cover tightly and let steam about
80 minutes. Be sure NOT TO
SHELL shrimp. That is done when
they are eaten. After the first time
Mrs. B. can judge if she likes them
spicier or not. If there is any
shrimp left over. shell them, rinse
slightly in cold water, then make a

Also that the soaking in cold water

not know that cutting into the rind
and skin segments of grapefruit

makes them bitter. I find a round

ing them.

Jefferson S Ideas
On Postwar Problem!

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, April
13-Secretary of Agriculture Wick
ard called today for the application
of the principles of Thomas Jeffer-
son, whom he described as the
founder of modern American agri-
culture, in solving postwar economic
and political problems.
Jefferson knew that a democracy
could not survive unless its citizens
were intelligent, industrious, efficient
and morally courageous" the Secre-
tary said. I'm other words, in a de-
mocracy people had to be able to
govern themselves"
The cabient officer paid tribute to
the author of the Declaration of
Independence in a speech high
lighting program at the University
of Virginia sponsored by the Ma
tional Agricultural Jefferson Bicen-
tenary Committee.
at has been only in recent years
that we recognized that Thomas
Jefferson was the founder of modern
American Agriculture" Mr.. Wickard
said. 1T was his influence, more
than that of any other man in our
history, which has made our agricul-
ture efficient and progressive.
IF jefferson were alive today, he
very probably would be in the van
guard of our most progressive agri-
cultural scientists and leaders"
The Secretary said when victory
is won, we shall again take up the
task of making democracy strong
through making the individual in
telligent and strong, and through
enabling him to judge for himself
what will secure or endanger his
freedom.
THAT will involve furthering the
principles and ideals of Thomas
Jefferson in agriculture and in gov
eminent"
