Spinach and Chard
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detroit Times Garden Editor

Sow seeds three, inches apart,
cover less than half an inch,
and when high enough, thin
plants TO six inches apart. Be-
gin cutting when the outer
leaves are six inches long.
Neither New Zealand spinach
nor chard require any special
care. They might be given a
little extra fertilizer, sprinkled
down the side of the row, raked
to mix with the soil then
watered. This may be done
once in a month for more lux
uTiant leaves.

SPINACH. SWISS CHARD
and New Zealand spinach are
all good green's just chock-full
OF vitamins. True, spinach is a
cool weather crop, good for
planting the first thing in the
spring and in August for a fall
crop. Chard is a beet grown
for its top instead of its root,
and like New Zealand spinach
is a summer green. Both do
we'll in warm weather when
true spinach goes to seed and
deteriorates rapidly
Try Long Standing Savoy,
Long Standiny Bloomsdaie or
King of Denmark for spinach
varieties. Plant seed an inch
and a half apart, cover with
half an inch of soil and firm.
No thinning will be needed.
Grows Rapidly
Spinach grows rapidly, ma
turing in five to six weeks, so
space where il Is grown may be
used again for another crop.
Start cutting just as soon as
The leaves are suitable size. Cut
at the ground line and use the
plants while young, discarding
any that go TO seed
Only small quantities Of New
Zealand spinach and chard
should be planted as they are
cut-and-come-again vegetables.
Cherd
Fordhook Giant and Lucullus
are excellent varieties of chard.
The new rhubarb chard has red
stems and red-xeined leaves.

Directions for Cooking
Summer Greens
By PRUDENCE PENNY

as New Zealand is not true spin
ach. II is coarser in texture and
usually a bit different in flavor.
VIII make an acceptable sub
stitute or change from the reg
ular type.
Swiss chard, which actually
belongs TO the beet family, IS
cooked like spinach, although
lbs stalks may be removed from
the leaves and boiled separately.
These greens must be washed
thoroughly. Six washings is
none too many as insects cling
10 the leaves. Hot water for the
first washing disSolves the dirt
quickly. Then use cold. Do not
pour water of from greens. Lift
greens out, empty contalner and
fill again with fresh water, Add
vegetables.
Continue until clean. It is
always well TO wash them once
after you are sure II Is cleaned
because this type h ol d S sand
with great tenacity.
How 10 Cook
To cook place green's in large
kettle without additional water.
The water which clings 10 the
leaves is sufficient. Cook I'M
covered until tender. The time
of cooking depends upon the age
of the vegetable and upon the
type. Spinach will take 5 to Z
minutes; chard a longer time.
Salt water Just before cooking
is completed.
When cooked, drain. chop.
season with salt and pepper and
one tablespoon lemon juice If
desired.
Canning Directions
To can wash carefully and
precook in steam or place in
kettle with just the water cling
ing to the leaves after the last
washing and cook until wilted.
Pack at once into SteriliZed jars
being careful not TO press too
tightly. Add / teaspoon salt TO
each quart jar, if desired, and
fill to within y inch Of top with
boiling water. Adjust cap and
process in presSure\ cooker for
so minutes at 10 pounds
pressure.
To freeze wash thoroughly 10
remove all sand and earth. Cut
off stems. Discard all bruised,
discolored or decayed leaves.
Blanch in steam or b boiling
water III to 2 minutes. Some
recommend boiling water only,

Chaplin Is Expected
To Go on Stand Today;
Defense Near Windup
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Mar. 30.-Charlie
Chaplin's own story of his love affair
with Joan Berry formed the de-
fense's climatic testimony today in
the film comedians trial on charges
that he transported the 24-year-old
film aspirant to New York and back
for immoral purposes.
Defense Attorney Jerry Giesler
announcing only a few lesser wit
neSses remained to be summoned
indicated he expects to call Chaplin,
and perhaps conclude the defense's S
case before nightfall.
After Federal Judge j. F. T.
O'Connor yesterday overruled de-
fense motion for directed verdict
of acquittal, Mr.. Giesler called eight
witnesses in rapid succession. Later
he told reporters, "As you can see,
we're getting along pretty fast"
New York Writer Testifles.
Most pungent defense testimony
SO far came from Hans Ruesch, 80,
New York writer.
He said Miss Berry came to his
apartment about 2 o'clock on the
morning of December 81, 1912, and
remained until 8 am.
On her arrival, Mr.. Ruesch assert
ed, Miss Merry was not SOBER" her
clothing was disordered and dirty,
there was blood about her face, her
knees were cut and her stockings
| torn.
United States Attorney Charles H
Carr, on cross-examination, sought
to have Mr.. Ruesch admit this might
have been about December 13, 1912
instead of the later date. The wit
ness held to his earlier statement
however, and Mr.. Carr did not
establish what significance he at
tached to the December 13 date.
Mr.. Giesler produced testimony
by a Tulsa (Okla.) lawyer that
three checks, aggregating $452.80
had been paid by his firm to Miss
Berry's account in November, 1912
after her New York visit in October
OF that year which resulted in the
charges against Chaplin.
Checks Identified.
The lawyer, Claude H. Rosen-
stein, identified the checks, one for
s93.80, made payable to the Santa
Fe Railway; another for s249, tc
the Beverly Hills Hotel, and a third
for $ll0, to the Mayo Hotel in Tulsa
Five other checks which Mr.. Gieslel
sought to introduce were barred a.
having no bearing on the case.
Questioned by Mr.. Giesler, Mr.
Rosenstein said he was not acting
for Chaplin in making the pay.
ments, adding "he had no interest
in it whatever"
j. Paul Getty, Tulsa oil man, was
another defense witness. He testi-
fed he had met Miss Berry, anc
early in 194l had seen her fire.
quently here. Mr.. Giesler askec
him If he had seen her in Mexico
City in March, 1941, but a Gov.
ernment objection was sustained
Other witnesses included severaI
employees of Chaplin's studio who
testified to various business details
when Joan was employed there.
Frequently Chaplins interest in
the trial seemed to wane. Once
during a recess he appeared sound
asleep at the counsel table. He
aroused with a start when several
cameramen, shooting closeups. set
off fash bulbs almost in his face.
Chaplin only grinned.
