A lady recently wrote me, asking
for directions for making that won-
derful buffet supper dish that one
sees at parties in great houses OF
very swank hotels - galantine OF
chicken. This Is as good as it is
decorative, but bit complicated to
make.
Get a 4-pound chicken, as tender
one as you can find. Skin it, and
take of the legs. Remove the breast
whole. Pull out all sinews and cut
the breast into small, neat flllets
Add salt and pepper to the meat
and put it into bowl with the skin
about 4 ounces of ham and 4 ounces
Of boiled tongue. Pour a glass OF
sherry over them or, if you prefer
a little wine vinegar. Cover the
bowl and leave overnight.
Take out all sinews from the
chicken legs and from pounds OF
veal and 2 pounds of pork, cutting
the meat in large pieces. Put these
in a bowl and cover with cold wa
ter, to stand overnight.
Next day, drain the water from
the meat and add 3 chopped shallots
or small onions, sauteed in butter OF
margarine, 2 well-beaten eggs ano
any liquid remaining from the
chicken breast. Put all through 9
very fine meat cutter and check fol
seasoning.
Now, put a cheesecloth on the

Dreaded
Chops

A cook who works Tor some people
we know makes speciality of bread
ed veal chops. These are so much
more favorsome and tender than
the usual pan-fried variety that we
are passing the instructions along
to you for tryout:
Take 6 veal chops, cut rather thin,
season them well with salt and pep
per, Flip them into beaten egg and
then into breadcrumbs. Fry them
in deep hot fat until golden brown.
Then take out and drain on alb
sorbent paper.
With these chops my friend S
cook usually gives us fried apple
rings, but we have found that ketch-
up goes equally we'll with them and
Is, in fact, bit better to Offset the
heavy frying. Baked tomatoes stuffed
with corn are good, too.

Report to the Housewife

Strawberries-lots of them-are
coming into town by truck these
days, and, with the increased sup
plies, prices are already becoming
lower. These berries are unusually
good, large, sweet and firm and
bring a breath of summer to the
gloomy winter scene. Good pine
apples from Cuba combine well with
the berries to make refreshing and
interesting dessert. With heavy
cream again available, you may also
enjoy that wonderful combination
Strawberries celeste" Simply fold
the slightly sweetened berries into
whipped cream favored with vanilla
or a dash of brandy, and chill before
serving. The renewed ceilings on
citrus fruits have resulted in slightly
lower prices for most items included,
and there still seems to be plenty of
oranges, tangerlnes, grapefruit,
lines and lemons on hand. The
wonderful Indian River grapefruit
are coming in now. Although there
are quite a few apples about, they
aren't much when it comes to quail
ity. The ones for eating are very
mealy, and inclined to have bad
spots near the core. PerSimmons,
too, are falling off, but the d'Anjou
pears from California are fairly
good.
Onions-both white and brown
are extremely scarce, although deal
ers say there is no particular reason
Tor this shortage, and they expect
it to be purely temporary. Cucum-
oers are a little on the light side, as
are peas, lima beans, snap beans,
eggplant and watercresS. Plenty of

on the shy side-they tell me that
holiday absenteeism in the meat in
dustry is pretty much responsible
for all this-and, of course, sundries
will be hard to get, too. Bright spot
is in the pork picture, however;
fresh Boston butts and fresh picnics
are especially plentiful, and there
will be loin roasts and pork chops
in the meat markets. Spareribs and
a very few hams and a smidgin of
bacon may also be offered.

with fryers the most popular But
don't overlook the possibilities of a

are any number of turkeys to be

Salute to Merchants!

The District of Columbia branch
sales manager for H. J. Heinz Co. re-
turned to this city recently from ar
important Pittsburgh food confer
ence with the declaration that "tht
American groceryman stands as ar
inspiration to all who have the
economic welfare of the Nation al
heart"
William J. Mitchell, who par.
ticipated in three day discussion
at which leading food scientists
professors and merchandisers sur
veyed the national food situation
said that sit will profit us to learn
well the lesson that the grocer
teaches-that ingenuity, improvi-
sation, courage, patience and en-
terprise are factors that point the
way to return of healthy compe-
tition and expanded and profitable
business"
1--WE should bear in mind" he
added, that the grocer, in spite OF
the harassing problems of wartime
ration points. transportation, the
constant shortages of consumer
goods and serious lack of help, was
primarily responsible for the main
tenance and efficient operation OF
our vast food distribution system
during the war.
Without the vigorous exercise OF
his typically American determina-
ton to get things done and to meet
the obligations imposed upon him
by his customers, it can be safely
said that this country, under the
stress of wartime dislocation OF
population and supplies, might well
have been faced with man made
food shortages to the detriment OF
our all-out drive for victory"
THE grocer" Mr.. Mitchell pointed
out, even in the light of casual
analysis of our food problem, de-
serves a vote of thanks from Ameri-
can industry in general and from
the housewife in particular. His
concern to satisfy, even in part
the Unsuitable demand for our daily
provender, kept him and his clerks
in the wholesale markets and behind
the retail counter long hours and, ir
many cases, seven days a week. Il
was the grocer who came through
with the nutritious items of die
that kept the workers of this coun.
try fit and able to meet the chal.
lenge of incessant production de.
mands. 1t was the grocer who sup.
piled the household with sufficient
quantities of food and with varie.

Army 10 Ask Extra
$50 Million 10 Help
Displaced Persons

The War Department will ask
Congress for an additional $3.50 ,000,-

alton to help feed and clothe civil
ians in the occupied areas of Europe
and Asia in the months ahead.
This was announced by Assistant
Secretary OF War Howard c. Peter
sen at a news conference yesterday
afternoon. Mr.. Petersen has just
returned from a tour of Germany
and Austria.
The number of displaced persons
who have had to be cared for in the
American zone of Germany has in
creased in recent months, Mr.. Peter
sen explained. The total has grown
from around 100000 to at least
$50, 1000. he said, largely because Of
the fight OF Jews from Poland

There now are 1900 displaced

Austrian authorities have no way OF
meeting their needs.
Congress originally allocated $149,-
600 900 for economic aid to Germany
during the fiscal year 1947, Mr.
Petersen recalled. This has proved
so inadequate that an additional
s100, 900 900 for Germany alone will
be asked when Congress reconvenes.
An appropriation of $4,000, 900
also will be asked for Austria, now
that UNRRA is pulling out, Mr..

preparation the War Department
will have asked for Austria.

BOSTON, Oct. 26.-Marriner S
Eccles, chairman OF the Federal
Reserve Board, said yesterday the
ending of controls on prices, wages
and production has shifted response
bility for economic stability largely
from Government to labor and

In addressing the bank manage

Council, Mr.. Eccles also:
l. Indicated that an easing OF
Federal Reserve controls on con-
sumner credit, except for installment
buying of major durable goods, is in
prospect for the near future.
2. Declared there is no need now
for the Government to issue addi-
tional long term marketable securi-
ties, because, he said, insurance
companies, savings banks and insti-
tutions have plentiful investment
opportunities at favorable prices
and yields"

of stocks and bonds continues nee.
essary to control imitation.
