Kelly May Call
Special Session
indicates Stote
Lowmokers to Meet

ROSCOMMON, Mich. Sept.
81 - R - Governor Kelly to-
day made his most definite pub
lie indication to date that he
would call a special session of
the legislature sometime after
the first Of the year.
II think it is highly possible
that before the fiscal year closes
there will be a special session
of the legislature" Kelly told
the State Planning Commission
at its meeting at Higgins Lake.
It generally has been assumed
that a special session would be
called to deal with veterans
problems and the earmarking OF
the $50,O00,0O0 postwar reserve
fund. Kelly previously had linn
tied his public statements on the
subject to a promise that a spe-
cial session would be called II
the need arose.
TWO PROPOSALS
The governor promised the
commission that he would pre-
sent in his message to a special
session at least two proposals
advanced by the agency.
1. An appropriation on $841,-
100 to be spent on building har-
bors of refuge along the Great
Lakes for small boats. The fed
eral government already has APP
propriated the rest of the esti-
mated cost of $2,130,695 If the
state provides its share.
2. Al additional appropriation
to the planning commission to
meet added expenses resulting
from the end of the war. A large
part of the extra appropriation

Swiss Steak Worth Yodel

One result OF this war may well
be that the people of these United
States will have learned that all
delicious meat dishes are not based
necessarily on the finest grade, ten
derest, most expensive cuts OF meat.
They will have learned that proper
cooking and seasoning Of the
humblest materials will produce a
far tastier meal than careless
preparation of the blue ribbon
tenderloins and prime roasts.
Take, for instance, our old friend,
the swiss" steak. No one seems to
know exactly how it came by that
particular name-but the Swiss are
a thrifty people and known for their
superlative cooking. Such a steak
should be braised, as the long, slow
moist cooking will make it tender
and juicy--if it Is abused by being
treated like its more aristocratic
cousins, it shows its resentment by
becoming tough and stringy and
dry.
A Swiss steak first should be
dredged with -four and then the
flour pounded into it to give a
thicker outside and make the meat
tenderer. Both sides of the steak
are Drowned we'll in lard or drippings
and then we get down to the real
job.

steak go about "a cups canned to-

boiled for 10 minutes and then cut
in slices, dash of Worcestershire
sauce, salt and pepper and about
a tablespoon of good wine vinegar.
The steak Is basted literally with
this sauce and the pan is covered
and the steak allowed to simmer for
almost three hours until tender. You
may have to add a little more
tomato liquid as the original amount
cooks down, but at the end of the
cooking period there should be a
nice, substantial sauce in the pan,
that needs only a little thickening
with tablespoon of butter rubbed
into tablespoon of flour. If you
like you may add a little meat ex-
tract or bouillon cube to the sauce
during the cooking time to give it
even more body.
Evening star., 1945-01-25

Garnish your steak platter with
watercress and broiled mushrooms.
Place the steak in the center. with
the sauce poured Overland you
have dish fit for the gods.
Big fluffy baked potatoes would
go well with such a steak and re-
member that If you are short Of
butter and have been holding of on
this delectable food you can achieve
"a fine new version by cutting the
top off of each baked potato side
wise, as it were-scoopin out the
pulp, MASKING it and mixing 1t well
with hot milk and little margarine,
salt, pepper and cayenne, and
stuffing 1t back into the shells.
Brush the tops with margarine or
oil and run the potatoes back into
the oven to brown for a few minutes
before serving. Done this way and
with the sauce from the steak to
add to their goodness, you'll never
miss the traditional pat of butter
sunk into their middles.
A fresh fruit salad would round
out an excellent meal with beer or
a good dry red wine as q beverage.

Making Noodles at Home
BY CaSsceH A dams

sent the answer in the wondrously
light and fine rice noodles. These
are made, naturally, from rice,
which is ground into a fine flour,
carefully mixed with cold water un-
til it is a white, slick-looking liquid
much like laundry starch-which
is poured in a thin sheet over a
large creased tin and steamed. Aft
er this procedure, the liquid has
turned into a sheet of cooked rice
Then it is sliced into noodles and
let dry and cool like the regular
ones.
These rice noodles are used occa-
sionally in a splendid soup made
in this way:
and into it put l pound of dried
shrimp-usually obtainable from the
better Chinese stores. Two pounds
of pig bones are added, with salt
and pepper, and or tablespoons
of Chinese sauce This mixture boils
for about to 21a hours, rather slow
ly, of course, SO that it does not
cook away too fast.
The rice noodles then are heated
in boiling water and placed in bowls
The soup is poured over them and
garnished with bits of pork and
green bean sprouts. A little Chi
nese sauce with a bit of peanut oil
(cookedD in it is added as a final
touch.
The Chinese leave the bits of pig
bones in the serving bowls, but I
have found it makes a more attrac-
tive and easily eaten concoction if
these are strained out before the
soup is poured over the noodles.
Evening star., 1945-01-25

The old Chinese proverb says "eat
noodles for life" They are, as mat
ter of fact, in Chinese, "mein," +"
which is the symbol of longevity
And while we of the occidental world
do not ascribe such impressive pow
ers to this food, we do find them
rich and nourishing-andd delightful
to eat.
You can use any one of number
of recipes to make the chop suey
covering for the noodles. Devotees
of Chinese dishes differ strongly in
their preferences for these mixtures.
There's Chow sub gum mein,"
Sub gum wor mein" and many
others, including the most familiar,
Chow gal see mein." Chinese sauce
is a must" in any case and the
excellence of the completed dish
really depends upon the proper
cooking of the basic noodles.
To make the noodles yourself at
home, if you do not wish to. buy
the authentic" and good ones avail
able in most Chinese establishments,
you start by beating up z dozen
eggs until they are light and lemon
colored Then you add a pinch of
salt and sift in enough flour to
make a soft dough. Roll this out
very thin, much thinner than pie
crust, and dredge well with flour to
keep it from sticking. Let it stay
spread out in a sheet on the table
to dry for about 80 minutes and
then with a sharp knife slice it into
long strips, as fine as straws.
Now put cups of peanut oil in
q large pan on the stove. When
this is good and hot drop in the
noodles carefully and fry them un-
til they are brown-much as you
would shoestring potatoes. Let the
noodles drain on large paper towel
or sheet of absorbent paper on the
table while they COOL

Report to the Housewife

II you're down to your last red
token, and are trying frantically to
plan menus for the week end-don't t
feel too low. If you had every red
point in town you couldn't buy much
with them-for meats are mighty
scarce, and what you can find pretty
much hit-or-miss proposition. You
may be able, by wise planning
watching lads" and early shopping
to obtain a point-free "sundry," or
a low-point cut of lamb or beef, but
1t will be largely matter of luck.
A few turkeys are to be found here
and there around town, and some
markets have chickens that have
been shipped in from unrestricted
areas. II you can find couple of
squads and can afford the price,
they will settle the problem of one
meal for you
Fish is still the safest bet-all
right, you're tired of it, but you II
have to include it in at least one
week end menu if you are going to
get all the basic nutrition require
ments into your family. ThereIl
be plentiful supplies of sea bass,
porgies, and croakers; Spanish mac
kerel are especially good, being
large and of fine quality. Cod, perch
and mackerel fillets are recon-
mended, and shad from the South
are running quite big and very good.
Some trout is to be found, but sup
plies of rockflsh and blueflsh are
distinctly limited; the same applies
to cooked and raw shrimp, oysters
and crabmeat.
With all the colds that are going
around, and the return of citrus
juices to rationing, you will be glad
to know that there is an excellent
stock of oranges, grapefruit and
lemons on hand. In addition to the
Juice" types, you'll find the luscious
pink grapefruit for the table and
California navel oranges and the
wonderful Temples" for eating out
of hand. Tangerines, too, of course.
More bananas have come in, along
with fine big golden pineapples.
There are plenty of apples about.
Strawberries are expected for the
week end buying-they are high,
but of good quality. Hothouse rhu-
barb is the latest newcomer and
brings a nice breath of spring" to
the stalls with its bright pink stalks
and yellow-green leaves.
Peas from Mexico are especially
fine, selling at ceiling prices Rec
commended also are snap beans,
broccoli, new cabbage, white and
Pascal celery, caulihower and spin
ach. There are plenty of potatoes,
both sweet and white (only the Ida
hos are a trif1e scarce, good onions
and leeks abound, as do globe arti-
chokes and lettuce. High-quality
tomatoes are expensive; lima beans
are scarce and high. Collards and
kale are the best greens this week,
and all the root vegetables are rec
commended.
Large grade A eggs will be cheaper
and make fine eating. More of that
Gruyere-type cheese is to be had,
at a point consideration. Some cot
tage cheese is available-but you
