Bringing Cheering Entertainment
Rig ht into Army and Navy

NNE of the most thrilling and in
~ spring demonstrations of tele-
vision is going on in the New York
Metropolitan area. In all of the seven
Army and Navy convalescent hospitals,
sick and wounded service men are en-
joying motion picture films, animated
cartoons and newsreels, as we'll as "live"
visual entertainments thanks to s. tele-
vision receivers donated, installed and
serviced by NBC, General Electric and
Radio Corporation of America.
TELEvlsIoN IS ON THE MARCH
Since the first of the year television
homes in the New York area have been
enjoying outstanding television enter
tainment seven nights q week. Regular
network television reaches four states
at frequent intervals: New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
These programs originate at the
National Broadcasting Company in
New Yofk, and are relayed for stimuli
taneous telecasting to the General Elec-
tric transmitter in Schenectady and the

seem to think that 1t makes any
difference to women how dirty and
unkempt they are. No man would
step out with a girl whose hair
needed combing, whose hands cried
aloud for manicure, whose clothes
we're soiled and rumpled and who
looked as II she needed to be run
through the laundry.
Husbands feel that they are JUS
titled In leaving wives who slop
around the house looking like the
wrath of God; yet these same men
will expect gin to be proud to be
seen out with them when they are
dressed like tramps, have hair strag-
Cling over their rumpled collars,
and give ample proof to all and
sundry that they are not on speak
ing terms with the bath tub.
And the very husbands who pass
up their wives, who look like some
thing the cat brought in, for women
who are prinked and powdered and
perfumed and made UP to the last
hair on their heads expect their
wives to stay In love with them when
they sit around the house In their
stocking feet and their undershirts.
Funny, isn't II? Especially when
men know that women put more
stress on appearances than they do.

lose his taste for her be-
cause she smells of babies and dia-

But men don't stop to think that
the shoe fits the male as well as the
female foot, and that women are
just as disillusioned with untidy
as husbands are with
messy looking wives.
Now am married to good
looking man and I like to see him
shaven and barbered and dressed

q right to stroll around shirtless and

When q group such as the MEM
bers OF the Club de Jeudi starts to
Dragging about its culinary pro-
clivities, in due time it gets contri-
buttons of this and that sent from
here and there. The latest gift to
arrive was a generous box Of had
dock fillets, beautifully frosted, and
as sweet and fresh as when they
emerged from the Atlantic Ocean
near Gloucester.
OF course, that set the pattern for
the dinner last Thursday night.
What man does not like to cook a
fish, even If 1t is not his own? And
50 the haddock grew into a fish din
ner, like this:
CUPS OF Clear Green Turtle Soup
Fillet OF Hdddock in Ginger Ale
Sliced Cucunbers
Julienne Potatoes
Fresh Green Apple Pie
Coffee
All In all, this was great dinner
for a mere male chef to cook. It
really requires only the preparation
Of one main dish.
And to be confidentially honest
about 1t. while the male member
of the family usually delights in
Dragging about his culinary accom-
plishments, there are times when
he is more dramatic than practical.
Under such conditions, bit Of fish,
done in an ornamental manner,
serves his purpose to best advantage.
The clear green turtle soup is a
fine starter. Unless one has direct
contact with some native turtle
herder from the Chesapeake Bay
section, 1t is best to rely upon the
ever faithful tin container which
he finds in good food shops, even In
this day and age. It may be served
very hot, or jellied, as you will. The
can usually contains sherry for tla-
voring. In that event, 1t says so
boldly where it may be read. So
there is nothing more to do but
heat or chill. However. the epicure
who would twit his friends a bit
will provide a small decanter of
sherry at the table and suggest that
each guest do his own seasoning.
Then, If the cup of soup be spoiled
oy an overdose of sherry, nobody but
the guest himself Is to blame.
Doing fillets of haddock in ginger
ale is something which should not
be discussed in public or in print
because it Is SO simple that 1t may
lower the standing of the chef.
However-for eight servings, two
heavy iron skillets are handy,
though one heavy and large bak-
ing pan may be even better. A little
butter or oil or substitute is heated
in the pan and then the portions Of
haddock are put in place-just wiped
clean and dry - no f1avoring or
sailing.
Haddock is a firm and robust
comestible and does not require
flouring-so much the better. Have
enough fat, though, so the pieces
may be kept from sticking to the
bottom of the pan. Turn, anon, and
brown the top side lightly-just
lightly. And now add cup of dry
ginger ale for each four pieces OF
fish. Salt lightly. Season with the
addition of the juice of a lemon to
each four pieces. Cover the baking
pan or dish with tight lid. And
let this fish simmer gently for half
an hour while the ginger ale sort of
trickles in and around the fish. May
be bit more fat-hopefully butter
be added. The trick lies in
so combining the juice Of the fish

In reference to vacation hints re-

I would like to contribute the fol-
lowing experience as very pleasant
and educational way of spending
one day of a patriotic vacation lin
town.
Leave home at $50 am. (after
rush hours, visit Mellon Art Gal
lery, ride on streetcar to Library of
Congress, enjoy the marvellous
mosaic and architectural work in
interior of building, take a look at
copy Of the Constitution; slip over
to the Shakespearean and Folger
Libraries; then go to the Capitol,
pay quarter Gree for servicemen
and women, and enjoy lecture on
the interior of the building. There
is very fine statue of Will Rogers
and statues of many other famous
men. From there go by streetcar
and bus to the Washington Airport
and see some Of the very interesting
planes. incidentally, l saw the

is interesting to see the flower bed
only a stones throw from the Me-
mortal. Take a short walk from
there to the Washington Monu-
ment. The city has been improved
in many respects and it is very
interesting to note the changes from
the top of the Monument. The Lin
coin Memorial can be reached in
about 10 minutes walking time.
After dinner see a good show.
If interested in animals one could
spend a half of a day at the Zoo
and the other half of the day in
beautiful Rock Greek Park, both
reached by bus or streetcar. Some
parts of the park are cool and peace
ful, which is very beneficial to

Now that summer has come, with

neighborhood radios is becoming
acute. This was particularly marked
during the first day and evening of

with competing announcers and
commentators filling the air with
sound and fury.
1t is a wonderful thing, of course,
to have immediate news at our
fingertips: other programs, too, are
invaluable In many ways, but the
fact remains and always will, that
different people like different things
and an individual usually prefers
his special program or announcer.
