Easter dinner can be built de- liciously around non-rationed foods. Ham, the traditional Easter meat in the United States, will be too scarce to plan on although there may be sliced ham and ham butts in the market Veal, lamb and mutton may show up for the Eas- ter Parade, but you'll be wiser to plan on fowl or fish.
 Lily Haxwortf Wallace, author of the brand-new book Egg Cook cry" as well as Sea Food Cook cry" and several other popular cook books, selects exclusively for this column an Easter menu with ra- toned foods kept to a minimum.
 Here is one of Mrs. Wallace's Easter dinners:
 Appetizer salad with lemon ho- ney French dressing, roast duck ling with sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, green peas, fresh or quicl1-frczen, parsley new pota- toes, cream puffs with custard fil- ling and maple nut sauce, coffee, milk.
 Sage And Onion Stuffing

Yes, I deliberately left out the South hand and I wish you would ret look at the East hand either. Alter you read the article, you will be able to fill the South hand in with the missing cards.
 Re.t Lebhar, Lee HaZen, Al Morehead and myself usually have a meeting about every two weeks to discuss League affairs and one of the rules of this meeting is that the boys have to produce couple of bridge hands. This is Lee HaZen's contribution from the last meeting.
 He gave us the bidding and the Vest and North hands, then said: "Declarer won the opening lead with the ace of spades and led the queen of clubs. What do you do with the West hand?"
 Some of us decided we would win the ace of clubs and to those his answer was, Sylvia didn't" Sylvia being Mrs. Hagen.
 Well, if you will fill in the rest cs the hand, you will see that If you take the ace of clubs, there is no way to defeat the contract, and if you pass up that singleton queen of clubs, there is no way for the declarer to make his contract.

 Peggy Ann Garner who plays Francis Nolan" the biggest child's role in Hollywood history was born in Canton, Ohio. Never, in her 12 years, has she been in Brooklyn.
 Dorothy McGuire, who plays her mother Katie Nolan," is a native of Omaha, Nebraska. James Dunn, who plays Johnny Nolan," Katie's husband and Francie's father, halls from New Rochelle, N. Y. Ted Donaldson, cast as Medley" Fran cies younger brother, was born in Manhattan-on the west side of the East river.
 Lloyd Nolan, who plays Me Shane" the policeman, comes from San Francisco; Ruth Nelson, who portrays Miss McDonough, the sympathetic teacher, was born in Los Angeles; Ferike Boros, cast as Grandma Rommely" halls from Hungary, and James Gleason, who plays "McGarrity," the soft-heart- ed saloonkeeper, is native New Yorker.
 So is Joan Blondell, who has the provocative role of shapely Aunt Sissy" But this should be balm to Brooklynites: Joan grew Up among them. She lived at 45 Westminis- ter road, Flatbush. and attended Erasmus Hall high school.

the season is favorable. Seeds Of hardy plants, such as radishes, beetS and carrots, can be soWn outdoors with safety a couple of weeks before the last killing frost date-only if the soil is workable; never work wet soil, Kale, turnips, kohlrabi, spinach and parsnips are rather hardy and will tolerate very light freeze. Crops adapted to a wide range Of temperature but not tolerant to exposure near freezing include onions, leeks, melons, cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, potatoes, celery, lettuce, sweet corn, peppers, egg plant, okra and globe artichoke.
 Only place in the United States where killing frost does not occur is Key West, Fla. U. s. Weather Bureau reports indicate that along the northern margin of the cotton belt the last killing frost in spring occurs usually about April II, along the northern margin of the corn belt about May Il and in northern Maine, in the Green Mountains of Vermont, in the Adj rcl.dacks, in the Iron Ranges of up- pe~ Michigan and in northeastern Minnesota about June l. At the higher elevations in the west there are large grazing areas in which frost occurs after June 1.

BEAUTIES ungrs
 Here Are Some Smart Style Tricks Hollywood Stars Do With Mirrors
BY ALICIA HART NEA Stan Writer

St anding. walking and sitting in front of a mirror studying yourself is not a shameful display of vanity. Nor is it an hour wasted, If you come away with a good idea for a hair-do, a better-fitting dress, an effective way to wear a flower.
 Renie of Hollywood, RKO de- signer, who knows from watching the stars whom she dresses what they do to achieve perfection, says it's the hours spent in front of mir TOTS that turn the tricks.
 "Marlene Dietrich will worry all day about draping a scarf just so or where to wear a flower" says Renie, "and will try it on all the way down ot her feet and back up again."
 And where will she finally pin 1t? On her stomach, says Renie, and to justify the new location of her cor sage she'll have a dress draped so as to give it a special spot.
 Ginger Rogers sheer perfection in clothes, says Renie, comes from viewing herself going and coming in three-tiered mirror which commands a 20-foot perspective. According to this designer, if more girls would follow Ginger's ex- ample, and would walk back and forth so that the dress under con- sideration could be studied in mo- tion from all angles - especially from the rear view-there would be fewer errors made in selecting | clothes.
 More wardrobe hits would be scored if women would watch for these points of rearview behavior. One is a waistline lower in the

 We have a realistic attitude to- ward the men in service. Some of them behave themselves - and some don't That's natural. They are a cross-section of the young men of the country.
 So are WACS a cross section of tie young women of the country.
 There is not college in the country that doesn't have some moral problems among women students. College deans are often called on to decide what to do about a college girl who is in trouble. And the young women who are sent to college are SUD- posed to be from the best homes in the country.

 On the same program is the lat est Charlie Chan mystery thriller, "The Jade Mask" with Sidney Tol- CT as the all wise Chan.
 Once in a while, and only once in while, there reaches the screen a motion picture so heartwarming- ly human, so packed with rich, hon. est laughter and truly enthralling romance, that it remains among your most cherished theater experi- ence for a long time to come. Such a film is Sunday Dinner for 8 Soldier" starting Thursday at Loew Poli. It stars Anne Baxter and John Kodiak with a brilliant sup porting cast including Charles Win ninger and Anne Revere.

the idea for the hair-do she wears in Those Enduring Young Charms by tumbling her hair in front of a mirror The new style is a feather-cut bob, which Laraine hit upon by pushing her hair up to form an upflung frame. It promised more flattery, so off she went to have it cut, curled and Tipped up. To keep shining, says Renie, she's willing to spend time in front of her mirror brushing it ten minutes twice day, which keeps curls bouncy. She has fre- quent permanents and also oil shampoos to keep luster heightened.

 "If you bear it comfortably on your skin," she explained, tits safe for the patient"
 She filled the hot water bottle about half full of water, saying as she did so, You mustn't fill it too full or it will be heavy and uncom- fortable."
 She rested the bottle on the table, pressing it until the water appeared at the mouth, expelling all the air. Carefully she inspected the stopper and the mouth of the bottle to see if the washer was in place. Then she screwed the stopper in tightly, wiped the bottle dry, and turned it upside down to make certain that it did not leak She wrapped the bottle in Q towel and pinned it Se- curely with safety pins.
 "The hot water bottle should al- ways be wrapped so that 1t won't burn the patient and. besides, it is more comfortable next to the skin," Sally finished firmly. She held the bottle against her face to test the heat, then handed it over to her mother, with an air of Nov you know how"
