they contain 50 much oxalic acid

1t Is suggested that club and COM
munity leaders can bring to mar

managers the importance of re-
turning all berry crates to shippers
this year-as there aren't anywhere
near enough crates to 60 around,
and berries can't be shipped with
out them. From the headquar-
ters Of the Smithfield hams in
Smithfleld, Va, comes a new YER
sion Of their famous deviled Smith
field ham spread. This is more
moist and more highly seasoned
than the familiar type, and Is sug-
gested as excellent for canapes, for
incorporating in deviled eggs-in
sandwiches, where it should be COM
bined with little mayonnaise or
pickle. relish or mashed hard cooked
egg yolk, and for adding last-min-
ute zest to a puffy omelet. 1t is
available in local shops.

of making use of your leftover bread

What S in a Name!
By the Chef

There seems to be some difference
OF opinion, according to several let
tiers received from readers of this
column, as to just wherein the fol-
lowing potatoes differ -- German
fried, American fried, French fried
and cottage fried. So, to keep peace
in the ranks, let's look the three
over for a moment.
Originally, it seems, the real Ger
man fry consisted of potatoes boiled
IN their jackets and allowed to cool
before peeling. They were then
sliced, crosSwise, about one-eighth
OF an inch thick. A quantity of the
best quality fat was put into fry
ing pan,' and the slices of potato
Tried in this to golden color. They
were salted just before serving, and
sprinkled with a little chopped
parsley for extra effect.
The cottage fry closely resembles
the above procedure. Only, in this
case. the potatoes are peeled and
sliced before cooking. For some
reason. although from then on
the culinary method was the same
as that used for the German fried
potatoes, the flavor was markedly
different. This was undoubtedly due
to the difference OF boiling with or
without jackets.
Now. where does the American
Try come in? Well, during World
War I. when dachshunds became

lation OF their name, by the by)
hamburgers were known as liberty

The season for outdoor cooking
and dining is approaching once
more-in some sections of the coun-
try it is already upon us-and We
hope this year there will be more
equipment available than we had
during the war. Also, transporta-
ton will pe easier, and with so many
OF us buckling down and doing
our bit to ease the world food situ-
alton by continuing our victory
gardening, we shall be very inter-
ested indeed in feastng in the
open air.
You would do we'll to take a
prowl through your local shops, and
see what they have to offer in the
way of grills, toasting forks, tongs,
outdoor ovens, picnic baskets and
hampers, asbestos gloves, etc. If it
is possible for you to build an out
door oven at the foot of your lawn
or the edge of your garden, you will
get untold pleasure from it. With
the proper equipment you can pre-
pare and cook the products of your
vegetable patch right there and
then-and that is THE way to
know real flavor and texture of fresh
vegetables and fruits. A little fore
thought with termos jugs, buckets
for ice, and SO on, will take care
of the chilled department" and
you and the family can plan to
spend the whole day in the open,
doing good and having good done
to you.

dust of the ordinary blackboards is
avoided and the colors are more at
tractive to children than mere black

Baking Powder often wonder
why baking powders don't come in
more usable containers! I complain
bitterly every time I try to get a
short measuring spoon into a half
full can Of baking powder. And
why couldn't there be a square
opening in the can instead of a cir
cular one to level of the spoon? I
hope some baking powder COM

umn as there must be some suitable
explanation in this day and age of

For early spring cocktail parties,
1t is worth roaming the foreign food
markets to try to locate some of the
little artichoke buds. These are
usually found at Greek or Italian
stalls.
Pick out the smallest YOU can
purchase and boil them for about
80 minutes in salted water to which
tiny, tiny pinch of soda, and a
kernel of garlic have been added
Also toss in tablespoon of pepper
corns and half cup of vinegar.
After the buds are done, chill
them, and with a sharp knife pick
OH the two or three first layers of
leaves. Then cut through the whole
artlchoke about half an inch above
its base, and scoop out the inside
with French potato baller or SCOOP.
Trim off the bottom so the bud can
stand alone. Then fill with any of
the following: Chopped chicken and
almonds mixed with mayonnaise,
hollandaise sauce crowded with
chopped pickle; chopped bacon with
mayonnalse and a bit of chopped
spring onion; caviar sprinkled with
lemon juice, pate de foie gras.

and put them in creased casserole
Arrange around them some cooked
