How Dear To Our Hearts
Is That Old Time Kitchen

always predicting it is in the pro
cess of becoming.
The kitchen is of first Importance
in family life. Many grown ups
most persistent memories OF home
are such things as the aroma of
frying doughnuts coming from the
kitchen, or the beauty of apple
pies sitting on tie kitchen table to
cool, or the after party snacks eat
en- at the kitchen table.
And many a man and woman
remembers a mother most fondly,
not in her Sunday best, but in a
kitchen apron -humming as she
went from stove to ice box.
What kind of memories are you
going to have if the mothers of
the future haven't any kitchens in
which to be queens? In the inter-
est of family life we wish the de-
signers would leave the kitchen
alone unless they a n do some
thing to make it as important as
it once was.

Go out and take a good look at
your kitchen. It may be next on
the list of vanishing American in
situations.
If some of the more imaginative
designers have their way, your
roast of beef is going to be cooked
in desk in your living room. And
other pieces of kitchen equipment
will be as neatly concealed.
When designers turned the old :
fashioned, brightly curtained kit

accommodate a rocker for Dad and
table with real chairs, into a
cold chromium and white affair
that resembles nothing so much as

did enough to ruin the influence of
the kitchen on family life.
But if they succeed in taking
away the kitchen entirely - home

 team. This victory puts Mrs Sobel out in front for the title of the outstandig player of the year, an henor which she also won in i94l and i042. She has already aceu- mulated nearly 200 Master points this year.

 The sexetette of stars comprises Frank Slnatra, George Murphy, Adolphe Menjou, Gloria de Haven, Walter Slesak and Eugene Palette, With the aid of a brilliant Support- Ing cast they make Q hilarious event out of a Broadway producers trou- bles. The plot itself is Q corkerl
 Gordon Miller, . fast-talkine snowman, is endeavorlng to put on a musical comedy. He and his aS- sistants and his whole cast are liv. Ing at the Hotel Crillton on credit, thanks to the fact that his brother in-law Qribble, Is the manager, and he is trying to land a wealthy packer to put up the money to stage his production,
 Almost immediately, things begin to happen. Wagner, the peppery auditor for the hotel chain, arrives and prepares to throw out Miller and his deadhead guests. Glen Rus sell, Q young playwright, appears to find out what has happened to play of his which he had paid Miller to produce, And Jenkins, the wealthy packers agent, shows up with a blonde who wants role in the show,
 Tn 0 frantic effort to stall the angry Wagner until he gets his money from Jenkins and to appease the suspicious Russell, Miller and his aides are plunged Into one hil- arious situation after another. Only the fact that Russell turns out to have a great singing voice and that he has fallen for Christine, Mil- ler's girl-friend, saves the harassed producer from Q nervous break down and the show from disaster,

The School Lunch

September is always synonymous with going to school but this year it is also synonymous with nutrition since September is National Nutri- ton Month. The Nutrition Com. lnittee Of the Connecticut War Council urges three square meals day for everyone as the ticket Of admission for full participation in the National Nutrition Month pro- gram. School children who eat their noon meal away from home may need help in keeping the corners of their school lunch "Bquared," Whe- ther 1t is to be obtained at school or carried from home, the good lunch should include;
 leg pint Of milk
 serving of fruit or yege-
 table, or both
 serving of protein food,
 such as meat, cheese
 eggs, fish, or legumes
 serving of whole grain
 bread
 serving Of butter or forti-
 fled margarine
 Depending upon the individual childg activity and need, additional servings of any of these foods are desirable,
 When the lunch is carried from the home, careful planning and preparation is required in order to include the above foods and to pgo- vide interest and appeal to the child. A lunch kit that includes q good thermos bottle Is 6 source Of pride to the child and makes 1t pes- sible for him to carry hot soups or hot or cold beverages. Children generally respond very well to the interest others take in them and, therefore, the cooperation of par eilts and teachers in promoting q good school lunch is urged as @ Sep- tember necessity.

 A typical example is the black woolen reefer, designed by Phillip Mangone, at the left, with narrow bandings of black Persian lamb :used to outline the asymmetrical closing and to trim the sleeves. Pointing up this trim are double. breasted rows of black buttons and green chevrons lined up side by side with the fur which Is used to trim the sleeves.
