Topping

Az GRATTN does not neces-
Sarily refer 10 a cheese mixture

Gratin originally, meant the
very brown topping on baked
rice, but later au gratin came
10 mean any Drowned topping

is brown buttered crumbs.
A wartime innovation in the

cheese flavor and take no points.

Pick early Bloomers

One very important thing 10
remember in selecting branches
for forcing is TO pick only those
plants that bloom in very early
spring. Another is that the
closer TO the actual blooming
time of the plant the forcing is
done, the more successful II is
likely TO be
For instance, winter honey
suckle will force readily now.
II would be in bloom by the
end Of February or the begin
ming of March outdoors. Plums
won't bloom in the garden until
early May and therefore would
be more successfully forced in
March than now,

LEONARDTOWN, Md. Aug. IL
The Southern Maryland farmers,
who have lost their tobacco crop
through their plants dying and
others falling to come up in the
plant beds, and those that did sur.
vive being rained out with the long
rainy spell, have found another
better paying item thanks to their
thrifty wives!!
It has all come about in this way.
With city folks and civilian war
workers hungry for a piece of
chicken, whose pockets are bulging
with bloody war money and willing
to pay from $500 to $500 per
chicken. They come knocking at the
farmers doors all throughout
Southern Maryland, begging to buy
any kind of chicken on the hoof.
from frying size to old stewing hens,
and bob tail roosters, one cannot
blame the farmers from selling all
they can to these meat hungry peo-
pie since legal meat appears to have
vanished.
It's not the goose hangs high
IN Southern Maryland and st.
Mary's County one Of the richest
county's in all the United States Of
America today-but the chickens
that come high and are going
higher, and harder to find as q re-

To Provide Medical Clinic.
Besides providing three more
classrooms, the work will include

new construction, he said, was made
imperative by an increase of $50
students at the school this year

780. The building was designed to
handle about one-half that number
of pupils.

The school is currently using six

Ex-British Subject Becomes Champion
Capital Blood Donor With 28 Pints
R. DorreII Liehtbourn
Followed Closely by
J. R. Bourne With II

r. Darrell Lightbourn, Al, a former
British subject who became an
American citizen during the war,
wins the title of champion Red Cross
blood donor in the District for World
War II. Since November of 1910,
he has given 81 gallons of blood.
Mr.. Lightbourn, an employe of
the war products division, Firestone
Tire and Rubber Co., established a
new record at the Red Cross Blood
Donor Center, 81 Louisiana avenue
NV, when he donated his 28th pint
of blood yesterday.
Convinced that his nearest COM
petitors could not equal that record
before the official announcement of
peace, Red Cross workers promptly
bestowed the title on him.
The runner-up, James r. Bourne,
of 4461 Greenwich parkway NV,
who has given q pints of blood, is
out of town on vacation.
Expects 1t to be His Last.
Although the center will continue
to take 20" type blood after peace
is declared, Mr.. Lightbourn believes
his 28th pint will be his last for the
fighting men.
He is ready to 60 on giving as
long as it doesn't interfere with his
health, but he doesn't have the
20" type blood needed for postwar
shipments of whole blood to the
Pacific.
Mr.. Lightbourn came to Washing
ton in October, 1889, from Bermuda
where he operated a small hotel
until Britain's declaration of war
stopped the tourist trade.
He gave his first pint November
IL, 1910. shortly after the center
opened in the old Naval Hospital.
Il promised then I would keep
it as long as my health held out.
1t was one way I could help" he
said simply.
Mr. Lightbourn celebrated the
day he received his American citi-
zenship by making a blood dona-
ton. The date, February 3, 1912,
Is inscribed on ring he wears. The
ring was a gift from his wife, an
employe of the Navy Department.
Son With British Navy.
The Lightbourns, who have three
children of their own and an adopt
ed daughter, live at 305l Idaho ave-
nue. NV Their son, John, 81, Is
fighting with the British Navy. A
son-in-law, Marten McGillem, is
in the U. S. Army in Germany.
The only member Of the family
who had trouble was a nephew
practically raised. He got too close
to some bombs in London" said Mr..
Lightbourn.
The nephew, Arthur C. Plant, re-
ceived a medical discharge from
the British Air Force and has re-
turned to Bermuda.
A year ago Mr.. Lightbourn heard
about the Coast Guard Reserve
and joined up as volunteer fire
fighter. In Bermuda, he belonged
to the Constabulary. comparable
to this country's National Guard.
All the volunteers at the blood
donor center know him now.
Il made your first pint of blood
into plasma," Mrs. Vivian Rubinear,
technician, recalled. I'm those days
we were lucky to get eight donors a
day. Now we have 5000 week"
