THE COMMON Defense

Recently at the Second Annual
Dinner of the Institute for Ameri-
can Democracy in the New Eng
land Area, Governor Maurice j.
Tobin of Massachusetts said some
memorable words. america, as we
know, was conceived in liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that
all men are created equal" I" he de-
clared. upon that principle, as up
on a cornerstone, the edifice of our
government has been erected. In the
Preamble to the Constitution you
will find that all-important prin-
ciple expressed in a phrase that
seems to me to symbolic the spirit
of our American democracy. That
phrase is we the people of the

consolidation of Red Cross clubs
due to reduction in strength of
troops in the Italian theater of op-
erations has brought together Off
GERS and enlisted men, Negro,
Nisei, and white, who share alike
in the services offered.
In letter to Jesse O. Thomas,
Red Cross assistant to the vice
chairman, F. T. Cleverley, Red
Cross commissioner to the Mediter-
ranean Theater of Operations, says:
"Two members of the former
Liberty club staff (Alice w. Carey
of New York City and Elaine U.
Pollard of Niagara Falls, N. Y,
who is acting as joint program di-
rector) have joined the white staff
of the former Continental club, re-
named the Naples Military club.
The combination staff has been
most successful, and everyone con-
cerned has been most enthusiastic
about the arrangement"
To serve further the needs of Ne
gro troops in Italy, Mr.. Cleverley
has asked for the return of Negro
Red Cross staff members of the
Leghorn area, where two Negro
stated clubs are still in operation.
Miss Sara r. Johnson of Cam
bridge, Mass, who has been on
leave at her home, will return to
Leghorn during the week of March
25, and negotiations are under way
for the unemployment Of another
worker to accompany her. A new
Red Cross club for a new Negro
unit in the Foggia area is also be-
ing set up at the old second bomb
group field.

Advises Dairymen to
Check Feed Supply

Bozeman. - A little time
spent now in checking the win
ter feed supply for the dairy
herd may save dollars and
headaches later on, says j o.
Tretsven, extension dairy spe-
cialist at Montana State COL
lege.
However, to make sure that
the feed stuffs will be used to
the best advantage, Tretsven
suggests that all inferior ami
mails be culled from the herd
and disposed of before the win
ter feeding period begins. This
will not only save valuable
feed, he said, but will increase
herd production.
If the farm does not produce
enough hay and grain for the
dairy cows, the local market
should be checked carefully and
supplies arranged for before
cold weather sets in. Unless
enough feed can be purchased
now or contracted for future
delivery, further culling of the
herd may be necessary, Trets-
ven said.

Gives Tips on Building
Or Remodeling Kitchens

Bozeman. - keeping every
thing within easy reach" is a
good rule for homemakers to
follow when planning a new
kitchen Or remodeling an old
kitchen, according to Ermina
Fisher, acting extension home
management specialist at Mon
tana State college.
For example, she said, the
we'll arranged mixing center in
the kitchen provides for the
storage of mixing bowls, mixing
utensils, baking pans of all
kinds and staple products such
as flour, baking powder, flavor
ings and spices. BY placing the
refrigerator to the right of the
mixing center, milk, butter and
eggs will be within easy reach
The sink unit, too, should be
arranged for ease in dish wash
ing and vegetable PREPARATION
she said. Space under the right
hand counter for keeping clean
ing cloths, aprons, and handy
tools, and drawers under the
left hand counter for cutting
utensils, silverware, dish drain
er and clean dish cloths will
make the work easier.
For the cooking center, she
recommends having a cupboard
near the range for pots and
pans, a drawer for stirring
spoons, spatula and pancake
turner. A higher part of the
cupboard, yet within easy
reach, makes a handy place for
storing dry cereals, coffee, tea
and Seasonings.
