Eggsactly Right for Supper

The current hullabaloo about the
meat shortage has clouded some
marketing facts that should be
cleared up right away. When news
items report the government has
'set-aside" a percentage of the meat
supply, it does not necessarily mean
the whole total will be minus in the
markets. 1t merely means they have
earmarked that amount to fill their
needs from-if it's needed. Never
before has the government used all
its "set-aside". And it has been
quick to turn over the unneeded
portion to civilian markets.
1t is true we will have a little
less meat than last year. And it is
also true that the distribution may
be spotty. Much meat stays in the
local markets, close to its range
and pasture. But in spite of this,
we civilians, as an average, will eat
more meat than we did in pre-war
years. Pay envelopes, for more peo-
pie, have equalized the distribution
of meat, permit folks who seldom
had it previously to enjoy some
good meat now.
That's Democracy. It's the way
we like to live. So let's ''beef" less,
and learn to do with substitutes in
stead. There is always, for instance,
the faithful egg. And if you've not
yet learned in how many ways the
egg can be delicious, you should
start studying egg cookery right
now. Boiling, frying, baking,
poaching, scrambling-they're basic
but only the beginning. For
instance, here we offer you main
dishes made of eggs that are high
favored and hearty enough to
please your menfolks:

Accent on Apples

The hurricane brought a harvest
of windfalls. Then that time-ripen-
ing process, compounded of sun and
rain and early frost, completed
natures task. Now the whole apple
crop is on the market. And a fine
selection it is, too. Crisp Baldwins,
pungent McIntoshes. Winesaps, Ro-
man Beauties, Jonathans with their
tart, full-bodied flavor, the crimson
Maiden Blush, the honey-sweet De-
licious, and that queen of pie fruit,
the brisk Northern Spy.
What memories these pleasant
names recall. Memories of a child
hood climb into the friendly crotch
of a low-limbed tree, with a good
book and an Early Harvest, hand
plucked for the eating. Of the fruit
cellar in winter, tunneling into the
hillside, where deep bins were heap
ed with apples, and the air was
delicately scented like cider. Then
there was the tender beauty of the
orchard in the spring, its green
rimed limbs floating with the pink
ish blossoms that promised a fine
harvest IN the fall.
The apple, somehow, seems to be
part and parcel of all youth. There's
something about the fine, frank
flavor, the crunchy chunks you get
to chew on, the warm-hearted colors,
the fragrant juices that each mouth
full yields, the kind of unassuming
goodness of the apple that takes you
back to childhood days again.
Everybody likes the apple-raw,
baked, stewed, and fried. But we
sometimes fail to get the full good
from the apple by not using it inn
aginatively III meals. For instance,
have you ever made an apple fruit
cup, apple stuffing, apple salad, or
baked an apple roll? Try these new
ideas for the apple. You'll be using
a Victory surplus, and delighting
your family as well.

To Mrs. Beatrice Truax, Leipsic,
Delaware. 1 want to thank you a
lot for having sent up your broth
er Harry's change of address. This
was listed in our column under the
date of March 18th, 1945. We hope
that Harry is meeting up with the
very best of luck overseas. From
his A. P. o. number, my guess
woul dbe that he is somewhere in
side Germany now. If this is true,
he will have much to tell you when
he returns to the States. We al
ready know many things about
Germany from the articles that we
have read in the newspapers, but
my opinion is that those who have
had the opportunity to get first
hand information could tell us a
lot more if they were free to do so.
Frankly, it is not very nice story
that is unfolding about the Nazis
treatment towards those who were
unfortunate enough to fall into
their hands. However, it makes
us all ralize more and more why it
was absolutely necessary to de-
strov all homes of the survival of
such a nation of people. Just as
long as their type of savage bru-
tality existed, the world would not
be safe for decent folks to live in.
I bet you that all Our Boys who
have entered Germany know why
they are fighting this war. Yes,
and most of them knew long be-
fore this. All of Russia knows.

To Mrs. Louisa K. Reichelt,
South Main Street, Smyrna, Della
ware. Thank you very much for
your son, Roberts, last change of
address. Dribbles was sorry to
hear that this young sailor was
unfortunate enough to have spent
a month in the Naval Hospital at
Bainbridge, Maryland. However,
I'm just as pleased to hear that he
is now back at his studies at the
G. M. School.
Here's hoping that Robert
makes his rating as Gunner Mate
Third Glass in the very near flu
ture. We would like to hear from
him and find out how he likes it
over there at Bainbridge. One
thing sure, the young man must
crave action to have picked out
the Gunner Mates rating to strike
for. That's one of the jobs aboard
ship that usually has something to
do, and do well, whenever the
enemy is sighted.
Please give Robert our very best
wishes, and tell him we're pulling
for him to leave his classes with
colors flying.

A few days ago MT. and Mrs. Pete Magnusen, who live on Holiday island adjacent to Kod. iak, discovered a strange, white object washing ashore in the neighborhood of their home.
 It was like nothing either had ever seen before. Examination disclosed it to be some cylindric- al thing, apparently rounded at both ends, with one end having an odd-loeklng iron crossbar at tached to it. Stranger yet, it looked like someone had care fully and laboriously wrapped whatever it was in several layers of cloth resembling bandage.
 On their next trip to town the Magnusen's reported it to the Coast Guard, and the latter went over to the island ard picked it up. Like the Mag usen's they decided not to un- wrap it, but turn it over to Navy Intelligence at the MOB. Coast Guard personnel said they had no idea what it was.
 We called Naval Intelligence. They had nothing to release on it.
 So now you don't know what it is, either.

 A Kodiak fisherman, inter ested in such a device, wrote re- gently to the company in the East that manufactures the dinky looking little boxes and asked about procuring one.
 The reply was right to the point; they can be procured, for $2600. FOB, not including the necessary fittings or installation.
 At that price the old way will have to do a while longer, the fellow told us.
