Easy On Desserts
By MARY DOUGLAS

Fruits and custards come to the
forefront as hot-weather desserts,
and they combine with this virtue
two other advantages: saving of
sugar which is still scarce, and saw
ing of fats and flour that are need
ed for shipment to hungry people
overseas. For the long lifeline, also,
many of us may well consider the
beltline, and go easy on the heavy
desserts for some months to come.
Fresh fruits are simple and easy
desserts to prepare. The main point
is to have them fully ripe, for the
most sugar content, and well chilled
for the best flavor. Cooked fruits
that are tart may often be blended
with prunes or raisins or figs for
tasty desserts that require little or
no sugar. Mixed fruit salads can
often be used in place of desserts.
Cookies made of the plentiful oat-
meal, with raisins added, make a
fitting addition to a fruit dessert.
Gelatine and fruit desserts are
especially good in summertime.
For custards, look through the
recipe books for combinations that
take little sugar, or that use sirup,
honey or molasses in place of sugar.
A simple custard dish is the follow

Aquatennial Contribution
Editor: Through the medium Of
reading your paper, my interest
has been aroused in the program
which is being launched to place a
float in the aquatennial festival
this summer. l should like to take
this opportunity to commend you
for the spirit with which you con-
veyed the idea to the public, and
Jimmy Slemmons for his initiative
and perspective in conceiving of
the idea.
heartily endorse the program,
further, my vote goes for the
establishment of a committee to
make the event an annual affair.
Will you kindly transmit the en-
closed check for two dollars 1872
to the committee n-arrange-
ments?
You know, it is not just by
chance that so many "home- town"
men and women have had to leave
Minnesota to seek employment in
fields for which they are best fit
ted. 1t is because our state of Min
nesota does not offer adequate en-
ployment opportunities to it's
native sons. Therefore, in order
that we might someday gain equal
rights, it is left with the stout
hearted few who are perpetuating
our fight, to prove to the policy
makers of the state and the nation
that we do belong, both econom-
ically and socially.
Our active participation in
events such as that mentioned
above, and our continued fight for
the establishment of a permanent
F. E. P. C. bill will go a long way
towards erasing iniquities in the
economic policies of Minnesota.
Sincerely,
Don NJ. Vernon,

like getting typical consumer reaction.
