SCULPTOR wins CATHOLIC
INTERRA(IAL justice AWARD

NEW YORK, Oct. % (ANP) =
The 1915 winners of the James J.
Hoey awards are Paul D. Williams,
a white Virginian, and Richmond
Barthe, noted sculptor, according
to an announcement by the Catho-
lie Interracial council. Presentation
of the awards will take place on Oct.
% at the Carroll club here.
Established in 1912 by the family
of the late James J. Hoey, former
collector of internal revenue and
first president Of the Catholic
Interracial council, the two medals
are conferred each year on the feast
of Christ the King on a white and
Negro layman who, in the judg-
ment of the committee, have con-
tributed prominently during the
year to the cause of interracial
justice.
Williams, native of Richmond,
Va, was one of the organizers and
secretary of the Catholic Commit
tee of the South which has made
substantial contributions to i'm
prove race relations. He received
his education at Georgetown and
Boston universities.
Barthe, a sculptor, lives here. His
work has been exhibited in the
Whitney, Metropolitan, Philadel-
phia and Brooklyn museums and
at the New York Worlds fair. He
was awarded the julius RosenWald
fellowship in 1912 and the Gug-
genheim fellowship in 1940-41.
Richmond Barthe, who has been
a consistent winner in awards and
medals, apparently got a greater
sense of satisfaction out of this new
honor than if he had won a blue rib
bon in an art show as sculptor or a
painter, excelling as he does in both
mediums.

Corn Off the Cob

While "city folks" go for corn on
the cob In big way, considering II
one of the greatest delicacies this
country bestowS upon its people, you
will find that a vast number of real
dirt farmers do not care for corn In
this state-preferring theirs cut Of
the cob and prepared In some dish
such as corn pudding.
have questioned a number OF
my farmer friends about this--and
the general impression ] get Is that
this attitude is hangover from
the old days when all the corn
raised on farm was field corn
and too big and tough for "out of
hand" eating. Therefore the big
kernels had to be cut off and worked
into a well-cooked dish before they
were fit for human consumption
And this deep-rooted preference still
persuades the farm family to treat
their young, luscious tender garden
corn In the same way!
To my way of thinking, there Is
nothing better than an ear of

Sugar

For q spread for bread that's
thrifty with sugar, put up a few
jars Of peach butter while peaches
are plentiful. Peach butter stretches
sugar almost twice as far as jam
or jelly.
Imperfectly shaped fruit that is
sound and ripe may be used, or
firm portions of windfalls or culls,
saving more attractive peaches for
canning. Here is the way home
economists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture suggest
making peach butter:
Sort, wash, peel and pit the
peaches. Cook them in their own
juice until soft, stirring constantly.
Press through a colander, then
through a fine sieve.
Use about half as much sugar as
sieved fruit or little less sugar, de-
pending on sweetness Of fruit. Add
a scant "a teaspoon salt per quart
of butter. Boil rapidly, stirring con-
stantly to prevent Scorching. AS the
butter cooks down reduce heat.
When thick, test by pouring small
quantity on cold plate. Cook until
no rim of liquid separates around
the edge of the butter.
Stir in spices if desired. u to II
teaspoon per quart butter. Glove,
cinnamon or mixtures of these are
good with peach. Whole spices tied
in a small cloth bag favor without
darkehing the fruit. Pour the boil
ing hot butter into sterilized jars
and seal.
To stretch sugar farther up to
u the weight of the sugar may be
replaced with honey or corn sirup.
Cook somewhat longer than if sugar
were used.

You'll bring them running, guests

starring juicy hamburgers on toast
ed buns. The very idea of supper on
the porch or the back lawn appeals
to every one, and when favorites like
hamburgers, potato chips and tossed
salad are offered for hearty eating,
no ones enthusiasm will be dimmed.
There's nothing much more disap-
pointing than a hamburger which
shrinks and hardens during cooking.
Although improper cooking some
times is to blame (overcooking or
too rapid cooking cause shrinkage), +,
the ingredients used with the meat
in making the burgers" are an inn
portant factor. These days when
every ounce of meat Is being
stretched to the limit, the use OF
oatmeal as the binder and meat ex-
tender is a good choice. The cereal
combines with the ground meat to
make a moist, nonShrinking patty
which fits the bun both before and

tie milk added to the cooking water

However, plenty of butter is a
must" with corn on the cob and
that may be a barrier these wartime
days. So 1t might be well to take
a leaf from the farmers book and
file away few good corn recipes
that won't put such a drain on the
butter or margarine supply.
Corn fritters are wonderful with
fried chicken, If you can get the
chicken. Boil a cup of water with
v teaspoon salt, u teaspoon of SUI
gar and / tablespoon margarine.
Work into this cup of flour. STIR

paste. Take of the fire and-mix in
3 eggs, one at time. If the dough
Is too thick add another egg. Add
about cup corn, cooked and cut
from cob, to the batter and mix In
well. Shape into fritters and fry
in deep fat until golden brown. Then
drain before serving.
To make a wonderful corn pud-
ding, take about a dozen small ears
Of corn, score the corn down each
row of grains and CRATE it from the
cob. Beat the whites Of 4 eggs and

the yolks separately. Add ii,
beaten yolks to 2 tablespoons mari
garine creamed with / tablespoon
sugar-less sugar, IL you don't care
much for sweets. Beat this mixture
until very light and add quart OF
rich milk and Va (more) teaspoon Of
salt. Blend this thoroughly and
then beat in the grated corn. Now
fold In the stiffiy beaten egg whites
and turn into a creased baking dish,
covered with piece of brown paper.
Bake in slow oven for about an
hour and serve hot.
Cream of corn soup is another de-
lightful way to make use of the
tender kernels, and corn cut from
the cob and stewed with tomatoes is
an interesting combination dish. If
you wish either of these recipes, drop
