Bailey Predicts Senate
Will Finally Approve
Better Work Bill
Debote on Measure
Moy Be Continued
Into Next Week
By ]. A. OIEARY.

Senator Bailey, Democrat, OF
North Carolina, leading the
fight for the House compulsory
work bill, predicted today the
Senate finally will pass "a better
bill" than the Military Affair.
Committee substitute, which
merely strengthens existing Wal
Manpower Commission job con-
trolls.
The North Carolinian was not GER
tain he would take the floor today
however, and there we're some indi-
cations the manpower debate may
run on into next week. The man.
power issue will be laid aside after
tomorrow for day and possibly two
days to make way for action on the
nomination of Henry A. Wallace to
be Secretary of Commerce.
Senator Bailey will base his fight
for the House bill on the ground
that military leaders have asked for
it, and that Congress cannot afford
to place civilian judgment above the
opinion of those responsible for win
ming the war.
Would Channel Workers.
Although the House bill is limited
to men between Is and As, 1t enables
local draft boards to direct these
registrants to remain in or go to es-
sential jobs. The Senate committee
substitute is designed to divert work
ers, regardless of age or sex, from
nonessential to war industries by the
use of labor ceilings, but seeks to &C
complish it by penalizing employers
only, except certain farm workers
who would be subject to $4,000 fine
or five years imprisonment if they
leave agricultural jobs after being
turned down by the Army.
Some of the committee members
who favor the VINO job-control sys.
tenn are opposed to the crimina.
penalties and the first test vote may
come on a move to eliminate both
the employer penalty and the spe-
cial farm penal provision.
One Democratic group, headed by
Senators Kilgore of West Virginia
O'Mahoney of Wyoming and Thorn
as of Utah, opened the debate yes
terday with appeals for passage OF
the Military Affairs Committee SUBJ
stitute
Still others, notably Senator
Chandler, Democrat, of Kentucky
doubt the need for any legisla-
ton and probably will support
amendments to draw some of the
teeth from the committee substitute
Test May Come Today.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, OF
Colorado, also a member of the
committee that handled the subject
said he would not venture a guess
as to the final outcome, but
summed up the situation by pre-
dieting that eff all of the opponents
of separate sections of the bill ever
get together. it will be lights out
for the bill"
Senators Kilgore and Chandler
have moved to cut out the $4,000

! will be on the weightier side. For
those who don't think turkey is
essential to the enjoyment of
Thanksgiving, there will be all kinds
of chickens, few ducks, good beef
roasts and some pork. For the holi-
day breakfast you'll find bulk and
link sausage and scrapple-very
little bacon, alas.
Some canned soups are on the
scarce side, tomato among them, so
you may have to settle for whatever
you find. The canned cranberry
sauce is selling fast-better get yours
early. Oysters are scarce and high,
along with chestnuts-better choose
a sausage stuf1ng. Mixed nuts in
the shell are here in good quantities
and a few of the speciality stores
have nice stem raisins from Cali
fornia. There will be some canned
pumpkin but not much; however,
fresh pumpkins are plentiful and not
too expensive. Mincemeat, plum
puddings and fruit cakes can be
found for the looking. Diaries re-
port that the, milk shortage is not
expected to effect the ice cream sup
ply for the holiday-there should be
plenty, but no fancy molds are be-
ing featured as yet.
The fruit bowl can be heaped with
lady apples, table oranges from Cali
fornia, big Delicious apples, Bose
and d'Anjou pears, emperor grapes,
bananas, perslmmons, pomegranates
and the first fresh coropiJfs cao,, for
some time. Dates and figs are in
good supply. In the vegetable line
up you can just about take your pick
OF almost anything-lima beans are
the only real casualty so far. Plenty
of celery, sweet potatoes, cabbage
and so on.

Homemade
Pudding

If you like plum pudding on
thanksgiving, you probably buy it
ready made'-and very good these
puddings are, too. Especially this
year, when candied fruits and sugar
are short, it will be wiser to pur-
chase the finished product.
However, a reader has asked for
q good plum pudding recipe, so
perhaps more Of you roll your own
than I realize! And here is one
that does not call for the scarce
ingredients:
Cut up a loaf of bread in small
pieces and pour enough milk over
it to soften it. Beat egg yolks
and add them to the bread. Mix
in n cup Of finely chopped suet;
III cups chopped, cooked prunes
and IL cups currants, which have
been softened in a little hot water
Season with / teaspoon of mixed
mace, cinnamon and nutmeg
Moisten with u cup of brandy OF
rum and mix well. If the pudding
seems too dry, a little cream may
be added.
Grease a mold, turn the mixtur.
into it, tie securely in a fouree
cloth and boil for three hours in {
kettle. When done, turn it ou
carefully and serve with brandy
hard sauce.-'THE v. c."

Report to the Housewife

What's the picture for this
thanksgiving feast - the first
peacetime celebration of the tradi-
tlonal American holiday in too MANY
long years? How do supplies and
prices compare with the DAYS be-
lore we were drawn into the holo-
caust of WARP
Let's see what the average Amer
lean family would have enjoyed on
thanksgiving Day, 1939-perhaps a
menu like this:
Tomato Juice Cocktail
Roast Turkey Nth Sage Dressing
Gtblet Crazy
Cdndted Sweet Potatoes
Buttered Broccoli
Whole Kernel Corn
Ripe Oltves Celery Sticks
Cole SIdW
Cranberry Sauce
Dinner Rolls Butter
Mincene1t Pie Mired Nuts
Coffee
Studying the records, one finds
that such meal would have cost
little less than 81, according to
prices listed for that year. 1t seems
almost impossible, doesn't it?
Now, let's check prices on the
same menu for 1943-assuming all
the items were available, and, as a
matter OF fact, most of them were.
Evening star., 1945-11-19
By Betsy CasweH,
Women's News Editor.

WohieH NeWS EQltor.
We find that the cost of such a
dinner at that time would have
Jumped to little more than $3.50.
The 16-pound turkey alone leaped
from 81 in 1889 to 1892 in l943.
Other items that showed marked in
creases were the broccoli-2 pounds
from Is cents to SO cents; a pound
of butter from SO cents to 48 cents
and 3 pounds of sweet potatoes
from cents to 20 cents. There
wasn't very much change in the
price Of coffee, cabbage or cream.
What of this year-this 1945?
There's good news, here-Thanks-
giving dinner will actually cost a
little less than in 1943, about 10
cents less, on an average. The
turkey can be found for less than
sS for a 16-pounder. (These will
be scarcer than the heavier birds
thought You'll pay more for but
ter this year-but less for broccoli
and ripe olives. Mixed nuts will be
a good deal higher, but the dinner
rolls will be the same as they were
in 1899. Most of the other items
are up a cent or so as compared
with 1943-but even so this years
dinner will be easier on the budget
If you shop carefully in the medium
priced markets.
AS far as supplies 60, it would seem
that you can find almoA everything
you yearn for in local stores. Deal
ers expect plenty of turkeys and are
trying to get as many smaller birds
as they can, but as so many growers
were producing for the Army, that
required extra poundage, the ma
jority coming to market this year

Cranberry
Sauce

I hope that you have been saving
up sugar-a bit here and a bit there
SO that you will have enough to
make real cranberry jelly or sauce
for Thanksgiving's turkey! Unfor-
tunately, cranberries must have
sugar to make them turn out prop
erly-but they are worth scrimping
on other things-especially if YOU
make this spiced cranberry Jelly
that has come to me in a collection
of real old New England recipes and
has been a favorite in our house for
years.
Pick over and wash we'll / quart
OF cranberries. Put them in Kettle
with a cup of boiling water and a g
inch stick of cinnamon, couple of
dozen whole cloves, 8 or 10 allspice
berries and few grains of salt.
Boil the cranberries until they pop
open and are soft. Rub them
through sieve and then add y, of
cup of cold water and 2 cups of
sugar. Bring this mixture to the
boiling point and then reduce the
heat so that it SINNERS for is min
utes longer.
Turn into wet mold and set to
chill and harden You'll find this a
new taste sensation in the cranberry
sauce departmenti-THE "V. c."

For a less tangled wash:

!. Tie all belts and shoulder straps
In a slip bowknot. They unite easily
when they are dry again.
2. Turn dresses and nighties in
side out so the ties are inside.
8. Button shirt sleeves to the front
of the shirt and alternate with other
clothes; that is, don't put all the
shirts in at once.
4. Sew curtains or hose in pill
low case, or a cheesecloth bag made
for the purpose.
For a white wash
l. Rub soap on collars, cuffs and
other dirty places beforehand.
2. Pick sheets up by the middle
and roll them, laying them in so the
roll goes the same way the washer
goes, clockwise. Otherwise, dirt is
washed into the sheet instead of out
of 1t. This way, three sheets can
be washed at once, alternating them
With towels and other white wash.
3. Wait until the water is all in
before adding soap. More water
gets in this way.
4. Be sure not to use too much
soap. Suds halfway up are plenty.
Use a cup or glass to measure the
soap, and stick to it.
5. Don't overload the washer. 1t
doesn't hurt the washer, but the
dirt isn't washed out of the clothes
6. And, use square or rectangu-
lar clothes basket. one that fits close
to the washer.
I wouldn't go back to a wringer-
type washer and lug "l50-pound"
sheets in and out of tubs for any
thing!
