Our Friend, The Potato

Like a good friend. potatoes arc always welcome even fl they ap- pear every day. You don't get tired of potatoes, they combine well with other foods, they give good returns for care and thought lavished on them. Standing over hot skillet to bring forth French fried potatoes Is labor that everybody approves, Potatoes are good steady, though small, source of iron and vltamin c in the diet and they also furnish other needed minerals, too -- like calcium. These are the things that are needed for good health and well being. They are valuable in potatoes because we eat them 50 steadily even though they contain relatively small amounts of each.
 Anl Irishman will tell you that potatoes have saved the Irish many times from starvation and just plain hunger. Starch? Yes, potatoes are high in starch but no other starchy food, such as macaroni, spaghetti, or rice can substitute for potatoes because they do not contain these valuable things--iron, vitamin c, and calcium. They should never be used as substitutes for potatoes in a nutritional way.
 How to cook potatoes? Just about any way you want. Baked boiled, fried, stewed, French fried. hashed mashed, creamed; use them in souf- fies. salads, in soups; as vegetables main course, soup or hors d'ovres, (potato chips do very well here as well as at snack time). No other vegetable is quite so adaptable as this one, is 1t? Usually plentiful, usually inexpensive, easy to store, easy to eat, good for children, adults and invalids if properly prepared. Try having potato soup soon. Here's suggestion that is full of good health, pep-and good food; Boil about six potatoes with few chop ped onions until they are soft tdon't use too much water) mash the po- tatoes with fork or mixer and then add a quart of milk and piece ot butter, season with salt and pepper. add few pieces of celery tops and allow to simmer for an hour. This is a dish the whole family will go foi on these cold snowy days-it'll help

 "A half-hour of cooling off be- fore you bundle up and take of from a beauty shop may spare you the pang of R runny noSe," says radios Marilyn Ersklne, Young Wldder Brown star, to whom . head cold is a calamity.

 If you need to figure out ways to loiter lcgitimately on the prem. ises, she suggests having your eye- brows pruned or your make up repaired after you emerge from the dryer, which operation will give you ample time for cooling of.

The three diamond response over two spades is natural, but now over three spades I am afraid many players would bid four no trump with the North hand.
 As Harry described 1t, the four diamond bid is very delicate bid. It gives you an extra round of bidding and tells the true picture of your hand. When your partner bids four spades. now is the time to bid four no trump.
 This, by the way, is not Black wood bid. This bid of four no trump is really made asking your partner to try to bid another suit and when your partner bids five clubs, you take him to six. Six clubs is the only slam contract you can actual ly make on the hand.
