One of the famous restaurants
of this country is Omar Khay.
yam's in San Francisco. 1t is run
by George MARKHAM, an Amer.
lean of Armenian birth, who is
gourmet cook. More remarkable
than that. he is happy to share
his culinary secrets with others.
Each of us has known cooks Or
chefs who refuse absolutely to tell
the recipes dor their dishes to any
one. George MARKHAM mas set
his down n a book, Dinner At
Omar Khayyam's" (Viking--S2.7 5).
George MARKHAM has theory,
with which 1 am in happy agree
ment, to the effect that we are
building a purely American cui-
sine, composed Like our popula-
ton, of contributions from many
lands. Armenian and other Near
Eastern f o ID has distinctive
characteristics, making simple in
expensive ingredients delicious.
That knowledge is indeed a con-
tribution to Americas wartime
necessities in cookery. All the
recipes in Mardikian's book are
simply written, require ingredi-
ents readily available to us, and
provide delectable food. I give you
herewith few samples.
When George MARKHAM first
came to this country he spoke
practically no English. AS a result,
on his train trip across the coun-
try, he ordered potato salad for
practically every meal, since it
was the only item on the menu
he recognized. 1t wasn't very good
potato salad, and George made up
his mind that he would show Am
orleans really fine one. One
great trick about this is that, while
the onion flavor is pleasantly APP
parent, it leaves no after-effects!
Potato Salad
l pound firm, fresh potatoes.
2 hard cooked eggs.
! teaspoon salt.
White pepper to taste.
IA cupful vinegar.
pinaiento Chopped fine
% cupful mayonnaise.
1 small onion sliced.
2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
Boil potatoes in skins. When cool,
peel and cut in quarters. Then
slice or dice. Add vinegar, mix
well, and let soak. Slice onion,
and pour salt over it. Then squeeze
cut all the juice, and wash salt
away with cold water. Mix onion
with potatoes; add piiniento, eggs,
salt and pepper, parsley and may
onnaise. Mix well and let stand in
refrigerator for some time before
serving.
The following is an eggplant re-
cipe, named for George Mardi-
kian's wife. Armenians nave a
particular genius for preparing this
vegetable, of which, in my opinion,
we make entirely too little use.

PVT. DROOP, recently assigned to this base during the Redeploy- ment Program, was obliged to take delay enroute" before reporting, because of accidental injuries. DROOP, one of those "Joes" who knows it all" and believes that SAFETY is "kid stuff, /" had to learn the hard way.
 The night before leaving, DROOP went to town with the boys to "hoist a few" The party ended with an argument and DROOP got one "hung on his eye" Coming into his barracks, he stumbled over foot locker carelessly left in the aisle by another soldier, and "barked his shins." ..#"
 He managed to survive the first two accidents, but the third really got him. Arising late, DROOP caught a ride to the train on Gl general purpose truck. On arrival at the station, instead of waiting for the vehicle to come to a stop and the driver to lower the tail gate, DROOP "took off" over the top of the "tailgate," landing off balance on the roadway. DROOP sprained his right ankle. With good luck, DROOP should be back to duty by next Saturday.
 Watch this column in the weeks to follow and see some of the reasons why DROOP always "feels hurt" ACCIDENTS DON'T JUST HAPPEN, THEY ALWAYS HAVE A CAUSE.

 Natures camoufage is pretty efficient, but if you look closely at the above photo you'll spot three baby robins sweating out chow with open beaks. A few weeks ago the birds parents decided the en- zine mount of a PAY awaiting reclamation would make a good spot for a nest. They built same and a few days later the nest con- tained a trio of small blue eggs. When Henry Colson of the Rec lamation Department and his crew prepared to dismantle the aircraft they discovered the nest. Rather than disturb the excited mother and her expected young they found other work to do until the robins were ready to shift for them selves. At last investigation, the family were still sitting pretty while the Reclamation Crew looked on with parental approval

NEW ANGLE ON LAPS IN TANK

One of the greatest handicaps to our advance in the Pacific is our troops adherence to the concept that we must kill every Jap we encounter, reports Pfc. Justin Gray, TANK correspondent on Okinawa.
 According to Gray, who was a member of the Rangers in Africa and Italy, the GI fighting in the Pacific must come to realize what the CT in Europe never forgot. If it is militarily significant for a man to risk his life to neutralize a ma chine gun, it is also militarily sig nifcant for him to risk his life to capture Japanese soldier.
 The German was fanatical fighter with a will to resist equal to that of the Japanese soldier, Gray points out. But we under mined his power to continue fight ing by constantly offering him the opportunity to surrender. The same must be done with the Jap or we will be fighting in the Pacific for years to come, Gray maintains.
 Gray's article, which contrasts the differences between the Pacific and European theatres and the Jap and German soldier, is featured in the June 18th issue of TANK, The Army Weekly, on sale at Ships Services and Post Exchange, June 9th.

With the surrender of Germany, the Army is preparing to inaugu rate one of the most elaborate edu- cational and recreational programs in history in the European, Medi- terranean and other inactive thea ters. The program has this 2-fold purpose:
 CD To bolster military discipline and morale by means of athletic competitions, musical, theatrical and motion picture entertainments, library services, arts and crafts (hobbies) groups and social events.
 CD To prepare soldiers for their eventual return to civilian life by making available expanded educa- tional opportunities at all levels.
 Under War Department Read justment Regulations, as soon as necessary work in inactive thea ters is completed, personnel in the theaters will be required to parti cipate in either the Educational or the Athletic and Recreation Pro- gram, but will not be prohibited by regulations from participating in both.
 The minimum objetcives of the Education Program will be to i'm part, so far as practicable, not less than the equivalent of 5th grade general education to all military personnel who have not received such education previously and one or more useful vocational or pro- fessional skills or basic education leading toward such skills.
 Following the close of hostilities in Europe, the commanders of all inactive theaters, departments and defense commands outside the con- tinental U. s. were directed to cause all training programs, except for units to be transferred to other Lu0dC0IS, CO Uc IoNlScu IOI tIlC PuI pose of including the maximum amount of education consistent with the performance of and train ing for current and projected mili- tary duties."
 The theater commanders were directed to arrange for such of the following types of schools and in struction as in their judgment were necessary in view of educational re- ouirements and available facilities:
 CD Unit schools serving units of 1000 men or less (battalion leveD, {, and including, so far as possible, vocational training (including su- pervised on-the-job assignments) general education up to and includ- ing the 2d year of college, and liter acy training.

 CHATTER
M/SGT. D. P. STEELE

With the passing of Thomas Flats" Waller the music world lost a truly great musician. Flats" brought personality to the piano which it had never had before. He was a so-called fiat" piano player in more than one sense of the word, He played with full har- monies and made his instrument a miniature orchestra. With this method the strong beat is empha- sized and the bass is stressed. Wal Ter possessed one of the outstand- ing left hands in the piano field. Flats" had marvellous force, sup pleness and solidity. He never hur- ried, never slowed down. Musicians playing with Flats" were perfectly at ease at all times, With Waller rambling all over the keyboard all his "side men" felt free to impro- wise at any time and they usually did. This resulted in an unstudied informality which produced jazz that was alive and real.
 Flats" was a great soloist. Wit ness his Victor solos on "Aint Mis- behavin'" and "Honeysuckle Rose". He played happy music and his joy at being able to sit down at the piano was injected into all his work. Flats" had a personal style all his own. When you listened to him you were right there beside him and he was doing it just for you.
 One of the little-known facts on Waller was his ability as an or ganist. He was a superb artist and studied this instrument intensely in his early life. Even on the organ, an instrument so very ill-suited to jazz renditions, Flats" was inn mense.
 Flats" was the most prolific of the pianists when it came to re- cording. Because he specialized in small combos, he was seldom heard, except on records. A recent memo rial album of music by Waller, just released, contains some of his out standing works. Probably the best is "Your Feets Too Big", in which he is at his vocal best. Also includ- ed in this album is "Two Sleepy People,. On this side he gives this sentimental ditty treatment it has never before had.
 Flats" came up with his own band in 1883 and had immediate success. This responsibility didn't seem to bother him too much be- cause he bounced around and re- corded with several small combines and pickup bands while running his own outfit. The piano work on many a record is supplied by "Fats" although the disk may carry no label.
 When Thomas Flats" Waller died in 1943, many musician and critic said that the only real jazz pianist had gone. No one, as yet, has arrived on the scene to fill the spot that Flats" Waller occupied.
