Bing sings, as usual; one of
the numbers is "Ac-cent-tchu-
ate the Positive" and it's al
ready sweeping the country.
Crosby teams with Tufts in this
spot-and it's a good one!
The Waves are the honored
group in this saga of songs and
comedy and the action brings in
some excellent shots of the
training schedule which, of
course, Betty must undergo.
Bing, as the singing idol of the
nation and Sonny are Navy gobs
thus making it possible to bring
the trio together in the eternal
triangle.
Betty plays both Rosemary
and Susie Miller, dancing team
of twins. Blng goes for Rose
mary - so does Tufts. Poor
Susie has crush on Bing. So it
all boils down to three-way
double-cross with every trick in
the bag being exerted to win the
boy or the girl, as the case may
be. Bing gets the first lick in
when he steals Rosemary at a
dinner party. Sonny comes back
by having Susie pose as Rose
mary and putting Bing in bad
light.
It's tit for tat all the way
through the picture and the Gus
toners enjoy every moment of
it. In the smash windup, Bing
is commissioned by the Admiral
to put on a recruiting show in
behalf of the Waves. Crosby
really wants to uphold the fam
lily tradition by putting out to
sea for combat duty. The Ad-
and who do you think stymied
miral's orders are final, though,
poor Bing? Right! Sonny Tufts.
The show is such a success,
however, that Bing is compared
to great Navy heroes in history
and so the plan backfires on
Tufts. It's a show of gigantic
proportions. Bing and Sonny do
a great black-face act, Betty
goes into one of her familiar
routines that movie-goers have
been applauding for years and
a chorus of screen Waves add
their singing and dancing tai
ents to this production.
Crosby proves he's no mean
shakes at handling any kind of
film assignment. Here Come
the Waves" is his first chore
since "Going My Way, the
screen hit which made history.
He fits nicely into a Navy uni
form for his latest role and gives
a mighty good portrayal as the
king of the bobby-soxers, the
nations vocal champ or what
have-you. The picture brings
Sonny Tufts back into his $50
Proudly We Hail" form as the
Navy counterpart of his Kan
sas' role for that picture.
With Betty letting loose in
song. dance and comedy, the en-
tire production might be termed
another Star Spangled Rhythm,
the recent Paramount classic. In
addition, Noel Neill, Catherine
Craig, Ann Doran and other
lovelies comprise an eye-ful of
beauty which should appeal to
the male customers. Such top
songs like "Ac-cent-tchu-ate the
Positive" Lets Take the Long
Way Home" II Promise You"
and "Theres a Fella' Waitin' in
Poughkeepsie" are surefire hit
parade melodies judged by au-
dience reception.

Plant for Canning

The very best time for q home
Gamer to map her 1945 canning
campaign is when gardening men,
bers of the family are studying seed
lists and measuring garden rows.
To help families whose gardens
will be ample enough to allow some
vegetables over" for home canning
the United States Department of
Agriculture offers these points on
planning:
/. Make room for tomatoes. With
most home Gamers, they top the
vegetable list, for good reasons
Tomatoes are easily and safely
canned in boiling water bath
Gamer. The canned tomatoes store
up vitamins A and C for winter, and
they may be used many ways for
variety.

3. Keep in mind length of the
can opening season. In many parts
of the country the garden season is
about 20 weeks, leaving 30 weeks for
using the home-canned supply.
4. Plant varieties, as well as kinds

Skewer Cookery

From the countries of the Near
East comes the culinary custom Of
roasting bits Of meat on skewers or
as the French put 1t, Zen brochette. =
Ordinarily past masters In the art
OF roasting whole animals on iron
spits over cleaning Goals, 1t was
natural for them to develop the
cooking Of smaller quantities, easily
transportable on long trips, on small
sticks or skewers over little fires.
Nomads carried the idea to other
neighboring communities and lands
and thence the custom spread TO
Europe and other parts Of the Old
World.
We, Of course, have had our own
version Of roasting meats on spits
in the great barbecues of our South
western States. And in a small way,
the skewer cookery has been emu
lated every time a camper broiled
piece of meat or bit of fish
stuck on the end of long pole over
a campfire. But the zen brochette"
recipes have not been as universally
accepted in the average home as one
might expect. And that is pity,
for they are as interesting as they
are delicious.
Perhaps one of the best known
to gourmets hereabouts is the IA
miliar Chicken livers and mush-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-03-01

to arrange the meat so that the fat
on the pieces Is all on the same
side, to make the "seh-basting"
even. Between the pieces of meat
you may stick mushrooms, small
onions, bits of eggplant or tiny
whole tomatoes, depending upon
what you can get. / have even seen
bits Of apple or pineapple used In
this way. II you are lucky enough
to have bacon, thread strip on
each skewer. Sprinkle the meat
lightly with salt and pepper and
place the skewers, fat side up, in q
hot broiler and cook inches from
the heat. 1t will take about Is to 20
minutes. Turn occasionally so that
the meat browns nicely on all sides.
When ready to serve, you can
either put the skewers "as is" across
pieces of toast on plates, garnished
with parsley and lemon wedges, and
let the guests pick off their own
morsels or you can push the meat
cubes and other bits off onto toast
slices, arranging them neatly, and
serve them that way Personally, I
like a whole skewerful set before
met is lots more fun.
Scallops and musseIs are good
done in this way, too The scallops
must be cooked in their own liquor
until they begin to shrink, then
drained and dried. The mussels
are steamed open and also drained
and dried when removed from their
shells. The CLAIMS and mussels are
threaded alternately on skewers, the
whole dipped in olive oil, drained
and coated with seasoned bread
crumbs. The skewers are placed on
the broiler rack and the clans and
mussels broiled for S minutes on
each side. Serve the skewers on hot
plates with lemon wedges and the
juices from the pan popped up
with lemon juice, pepper and q
sprinkling of chopped parsley.
/ have In my files a number OF
recipes for skewer dishes. If you
are interested, drop me a line, with
a stamped, self-addressed envelope,
in care of The Star and I'll be glad
to send them to you.

part Of the winter vegetable supply
consider which foods will best repay
family efforts to preserve them
from standpoints of nutrition
prices and rationing. Also keep in
mind family likes and dislikes when
deciding to put up a large amount
of some vegetable.
6. When estimating amounts to
be canned, see how far these will go
toward providing nourishing, appe-
tizing and varied meals. Some
States offer canning budgets, free
from the State college of agricul-
ture. These give estimated quanti-
ties of kinds of food to preserve in
your section.
Z. Do count your vegetables, as
best you can, before the garden is
planted. That is, gain some idea
of likely yields and how much will
be extra for canning. A real can
ners dilemma is discovering one
summer day that she must marshall
all hands for canning spree and
work far into the night to save
bushels of beans. Overplanting of
beans-or whatever the problem
vegetable may be-is the usual cause
OF such canning sprees.
Here are approximate figures sug-
costing the number of feet of garden
row that it takes to yield / bushel:
Pole snap beans. so feet; bush snap
beans, 100 feet: lima beans, $50 feet
beets, so feet. carrots. so feet; spin

Report to the Housewife

The first asparagus Of the season
has reached town, from California
The favorite vegetable is selling both
in punches, and loose by the pound.
For the first shipments, the price is
about the same as it usually is each
year-which is high; however, as
the season advances it should be-
gin to drop sharply. Sugar-sweet
green peas are more reasonable,
and well recommended are snap
beans, broccoli, caulifiower, cabbage,
carrots and beets Lima beans are of
fine quality, and about the same
price as they have been. Cucumbers
continue scarce, but there is plenty
of lettuce of all varieties, including
romaine, good escarole, endive-
chicory. radishes and spring onions
for that salad bowl. There's better
watercress. too, and tomatoes have
greatly improved in most grades
over those seen in recent weeks.
Spinach, kale and collards repre-
sent the green's lineup, there are
good squash, green peppers and
eggplant to be had. Some stores
have a few brussels sprouts, but
these are nearing the end of their
season. There are adequate supplies
of sweet potatoes and onions, and
the best mushrooms we have seen
for some time.
Pineapples, rhubarb and straw
berries lend a luxury touch to the
market scene. Apples are in good
variety and the citrus fruits are
going strong, except for tangerines
which are very light in supply.
Grapes, pears and avocados are
coming in from the West Coast-the
last the best of the three.
Eggs are plentiful and reasonably
priced. Some cottage cheese makes
its appearance early in the morning
in the stores, but is snapped up in
n hurry by the crack-of dawn shop
pers. Butter is easier to get, as far
as supply is concerned; as far as
about out" probably why it is
easier to find) Shortcomings of all
types continue scarce, and even
margarine has been feeling the de-
mand produced by less butter-buy-
ing. Effect of the new point values
should be felt shortly.
The fish lineup looks just about
as it did last week. Most plentiful
are porgies, croakers, butterfish, sea
bass, trout, King and Spanish mac
kerel. Rockf1sh is a good buy, and
is expected to be lower in price.
Steak cod, and roe and buck shad
are also recommended. There is some
fresh founder about, and silvery
smelts are sweet and delicate, if you
want to give the family real treat.
Supplies of the f1lleted fish are
bit limited, as are crab meat, shrimp,
oysters and lobster.
Meats show little change. There
will be some cuts of most meats
available in small quantities for the
weekend buying. Chickens, tur-
keys, and few ducks arrive oc-
casionally but dealers are sold out
IN less time than it takes to write
about it-almoSt!
Here and There: Use a we'll

make delicious cookies in record
time. Add Semisweet chocolate bits
to the batter for a change, or drop
in handful of raisins. -. Further
