The frozen food industry is GER
tainly as modern and up to the
minute as television. As a matter
of fact one firm refers to their
products - miracle foods-they
are lust that. It's miraculous what
has been done for today's busy
housewife.
At the opening of new frozen
food store the other day I dlscov-
cred an amazing assortment OF
new and interesting items. You
can buy a package of sliced turkey
with dressing and gravy enough
for a twosome-all ready for you
to heat and serve Lobster new
burg that is laced with little
extra sherry is perfectly delicious.
Two old favorites, chicken a la
king and chicken chow meln; a
new package of scallops that are
frozen but not fried are recon-
mended. For your pumpkin pies
there is a pumpkin mix, complete
with sugar, molasses and spices;
you add the milk and eggs. Think
of the time saved, to say nothing
of the satisfaction in getting the
exact amount you need! 1t has
always been a problem with me
what to do with the extra pumpkin,
ans this solves the question. Per-
feet for the small family. In addi-
tion to spinach you may have your
choice of kale, collards or turnip
greens, all cleaned and ready to
pop into the pan. No washing or
rinsing to get rid of the sand and
grit
The other day some one called
and asked where found the crushed
pineapple. 1 used in one OF my
recines in Whats Cookin'." You
can buy it frozen. There is also
delightful fruit salad mixture, Ger
tainly a handy item to have on
hand in the freezing compartment
Of your refrigerator for the unex-
pected luncheon guest.
With whipping cream of the mar
ket you can substitute a whip top
ping for all the purposes you would
ordinarily use heavy cream. It's
soybean product To use, allow 1t
to soften, then whip, add a bit OF
sugar and flavor to taste. 1t tops
desserts. salads, pastries. or pud-
dings. You can use it for baking
or in making frozen desserts that
call for heavy cream.
Have you used the frozen orange
tuice or the fresh tangerlne seq
ments? The new pack of red rasp-
berries-to quote the owner of the
store-are simply out of this world" !"
They told me, too, that there will
be fresh fruit frozen in cans coming
on the market in the near future
watch for it. Freezing in cans
permits a lower freezing tempera-
ture, does away with any dripping
o. loss of juice and helps preserve
the fresh-fruit flavor.
I could 60 on and on but must
save space for the rest of the
market report. Just let me add this
I saw a nice assortment OF
cheeses, including some Gruyere
from Argentina, Edams and Goudas,
both domestic. All sorts of tid-bits
for your hors d'oeuvres tray-olives
stuffed with anchovies from Spain
herring in dill and wine sauce
from Sweden; also anchovies from
the same place. Really worth
your while to spend an extra half
hour investigating these items.
The meat situation is confusing.
There is meat If you're willing to
pay the price. All the dealers seem

will take time for the prices to level

SIRUP FOR HOT CAKES.
From Mrs. v. L. B., Rockville, Md
For Mrs. H. D. B., Arlington: I
have several ways of making sirup
for hot cakes. One that we prefer
to any but the best pure maple sirup
is made by combining parts brown
sugar with l part water, bring to
boil and boil just l minute. Add
a few drops of vanilla and serve hot.
This is best made with the proper
tions given, but with sugar so scarce
I now use great deal more water
as much as equal amounts of sugar
and water.
Another method Is to caramelize
white Sugar-any amount-and
slowly add water until the sirup is
of the right consistency. Add few
drops Of vanilla.
If you are fortunate enough to
find any of the best-known brands
Of heavy cooking sirup, that can
be made into table sirup by thin
ming it to the desired consistency,
bring to a boil and add a few drops
of vanilla. If you are using the
brown type or maple f1avoring use
enough to give proper color and
favor if you use the white sirup
ANY sirup is best served piping
hot.

no doubt the kitchen is hotter in

COMMENTS ON CHILDREN.
From Mrs. P. K, Alerandriu.)
I have been tempted many times
to answer readers questions, but
those in regard to children have
finally reused me. To the writer
who asked what to do with children
who ran wild" and whose mothers
had not time or money to watch
them or have them watched con-
stantly, would heartily recommend
the cooperative nursery school. II
there are enough families In the
neighborhood. room can be found
in a church, possibly in large
basement of a home, and accredited
teachers employed, the mothers tax
ing turns at helping. There should
be not more than 10 children to
every one teacher, and fewer is bet
ter. If there are only a few chill
dren concerned, the mothers could
arrange to take them all for one
morning each week, possibly two
hours only. This would supply need
ed supervised activity and compan-
ionship, while costing no money and
freeing each other several times q
week. We in our neighborhood have
done this with children Of two and
over quite successfully for some time
now.
Cooperative nursery schools IN
the area would be glad 10 talk to you
on how to organize a school Of your
own, II you are interested.

as much space for detailed records,
but which has more text on child
care, is the Better Homes and Gar
dens Baby Book" also available
through any book seller. For older
children the best work I know is
Anna VOLTS Parents Manual, .
mentioned in this column before,
which ought to be on every parents
bookshelf. For infants, Margaret

Trains Collide,

Nobody Injured

RALEIGH, N. c., Dec. ia
freight and a passenger train met
in head-on collision at Auburn,
eight miles from here, this morn
ing, but nobody was killed. Eight
passengers were injured, none of
them seriously.
Reason why there were no ia
talities was because the engineers
of the freight and passenger trains
saw their engines were on the
same track and approaching each
other. Emergency brakes were
applied, and the engines had
slowed down when they came to-
gether. But the impact was suf-
ficiently powerful to derail three
passenger coaches.
