ton run underneath.
AS soon as the whole mass is
creamy and thick. give the heat q
quick turn-up to brown the bottom
of the omelet. Fold quickly, but
neatly, with the spatula and slide
out on hot plate. (ThiS is done
best by slapping the plate upside
down on top of the skillet and in
verting the skillet quickly, to drop
! the omelet onto the plate.)
! The variations are the things
which MAKE an omelet. A cheese
omelet is good-just sprinkle with
couple of tablespoons of grated
cheese when the eggs are partly
cooked. Dust with chives for a deli
cate and delicious chives omelet
Leftover vegetables may be added
to produce 'omelet jardiniere." A
can of condensed mushroom soup
added during the cooking period
makes a fine mushroom omelet."
| If you have a herb patch in your
garden, pick some sprigs of parsley
| chives, tarragon or dill and some
mar rjoran. Mince them all fine and
add them to the beaten egg yolks
before they are combined with the
whites.
Peel, slice and saute some young
tender tomatoes and put them on
top of half the omelet before lap
ping over the other half. Well take
up the sweet omelets for dessert

potato salad, but to sharpen the

If you can get your hands on a
bit of salt pork or bacon, here's a
fine way to make use of the pres
emily plentiful potato:
Boil some large new potatoes In
their jackets. Cut them in half
lengthwise and scoop out the CEN
tiers, leaving about ls-inch-thick
shell. Mash the scooped-out potato
with sour cream or leftover gravy
and then add some bacon or salt
pork, fried brown and crisp and
then minced. Sausage meat will
do, too
Add l egg, lightly beaten, a little
minced parsley or watercress and a
few chopped chives or a bit of
minced onion. You even can stir in
a little leftover lamb or chicken, II
you have it. 8,
Pile the mixture high in the po-
tato shells, brush with butter and
brown in moderate oven.
Don't turn up your nose at the
humble haddock. You can make
him into a truly epicurean dish If
you will only devote little time
and attention to the matter.
Mince up Glove of garlic very
fine and let it cook for couple of
minutes in little oil Add 2 or
cups of tomato pulp, seasoned with
salt, pepper, a little mustard and a
liberal dash of oregano and basil
Drop in a bay leaf and an onion
stuck with 6 cloves.
Let the mixture simmer half an

COMMENT.

I agree with Mrs. K. K. NJ about
certain groups trying to speak for
us housewives. They like to put
words in our mouths and thoughts
in our MINDS to suit their own ends
AS for the buyers strike, that mere
ly proves that We can control our
selves. We should never buy what
we don't need, nor what we can't
afford. AS for the cost of living
figures never tell all the story.
prefer to pay for my butter when

in taxes for subsidies Although l
do have more time than money. still
! I think the cost of the time spent
in shopping for food should be con-
sidered in the cost of living.
SOAP OPERAS"
, From Mrs. G. NJ. j., Washington !
I would like to say my bit in re-
gard to the Soap Operas" Il love
some of those little dramas If.
as Mrs. J. H. H suggests, We have
all programs like the Washington
furniture company and the cigarette
sponsors produce, we certainly
wouldn't have much variety. II We
have those and some very good
music which a lot of us ordinary
humans do not like or understand
well at least two people would be
pleased. The little daily dramas
represent mostly ordinary people.
and as such lot of us enjoy them.
We all have joys and sorrows of
one kind or another and "a little
, touch Of laughter or sorrow makes
the whole world kin"
The radio is wonderful source
of entertainment and with the great
variety of programs. I say, turn on
what you like, and what you don't
like, don't listen to- I am sure the
stations. actors and sponsors try to
please all of the people most of the
time and not few of the people
part of the time.
From E. B. F., Siluer Spring.
/ have been very interested in the
few articles written in protest to

should be read by every one. There
is certainly no need for housewives
to feel lin a rut." when radio sta
tons COULD bring us up to date
and make us the best-read women
in the world. The possibilities are
boundleSS - interesting, intelligent
and TACT learning programs are what
we neeu-not sob stories 1t is
probably not far in the future. so
let's hurry it on the way by pro-
testing to the RCHl
From Mrs. E. G. D., Washington
I have been reading the comments
on soap operas Let me say here
that think they are grand and wish
there were more of them. l don't
think the women who say they dis
like them have given themselves the
chance to become interested. These
stories must be followed day by day
to enjoy them. Have these women
ever listened long enough to see the
point, which is that the same situa-
tions that appear in the soap operas
sooner or later come into our lives?
I think the majority of the stories
are more fact than fictional. There
are an abundance of other types of
programs during the day for soap
opera haters. 1t is not a require
ment to listen to them. In fact one
radio station in Washington has no
stories at all. So for myself and all
the thousands of others who enjoy
soap operas let me say, IF you don't
like them don't listen to them!"

WILD STRAWBERRY JAM.
From Mrs. L. A. S., WASHINGTON.

about preserving wild strawberries
I'm writing from Vermont where We

day or two late, but is nonethe-
less welcome.

to the cultivated ones for preserves
or jam. I've never used a special
recipe as there were none to be
found in the cook books! Follow
any standard recipe for proportions
OF sugar to fruit Il used the one ir

My question in return would be
where to find the wild berries?
Here in rural Vermont there is
much interest in and use of public

a place in Or near Washington
where an apartment dWeller might

Citizens of Juneau are invited to attend commissioning ceremonies for the new U. s. s. Juneau, to be held at the U s. Naval Shipyard, New York, on Feb. IS.
 Capt. R. E. Rose, USN, en- trusted with the command of the new cruiser, in letter to Mayor Ernest Parsons, has stated that he will be pleased to send formal in- vitations to the ceremonies to city officials and to any citizens of this city who may express to him a deei-n +n ottnrd
 ' Sponsored by Mrs. E. L. Bartlett, whe or AIaska's Delegate to Con- gress, the new U. S. S. Juneau was launched last July Is at the Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company yard at Kearney, N. J.
 Capt. Rose declares that he is sure residents of Juneau will be just as proud of the new vessel bearing the name of this city as he, her commanding officer, is. Capt. Rose formerly visited Ju- neau in July, 1887, when he was attached to the staff of Rear Adm. W. s. Anderson aboard the U. s. s. Northampton, flagship

COMMUNICATION

Editor Daily Alaska Empire, Jan II, 1946-Dear Sir:
 A question a good many people in Juneau are asking these days is What does the Veterans of Foreign Wars stand for?"
 Here is the answer: The VIEW. s objects are fraternal, patriotic, his torical and educational; to preserve and strengthen comradeship among its members; to assist worthy com rades; to perpetuate the memory and history of our dead, and to assist their widows and orphans; to main- tain true allegiance to the Govern ment of the United States of Ameri- ca, and fidelity to it's Constitution and laws; to foster true patriotism; to maintain and extend the institu- tions of American freedom; to pre- serve and defend the United States from all her enemies whomsoever.
 Organized before the first World War for ey-service men who have  performed duties overseas, the Vet erans of Foreign Wars is the oldest and most strongly knit veterans or ganization in the U s. Belonging to this organization really means some thing. as not everyone can join, even though they have served in the Armed Forces. ss
 Travel broadens the mind and sharpens the perspective and most of the men who travelled overseas in both World Wars traveled long distances, seeing many new sights. Sight of a VIEW lapel button will assure you the man wearing it is a good citizen and one hundred per cent American.
