A person would have to be a
millionaire, almost, to own all
the nice records coming on the
market lately. Here are a few
of the most outstanding albums
and single records, old and new:
Victor's NIGHT AND DAY"
features ten Cole Porter tunes
sung by Allan Jones. Thdt
GERSHWIN MEMORIAL album
with vocals by Felix knight,
Jane Froman and Sunny Skylar
is In a class by itself. Some
thing like 33 tunes are featured.
Columbia's album of tangoes
by Marek Weber is really some
thing, and the program of din
ner music by vladimir Selinsky
contains such tunes as Speak To
Me Of Love, La Rosita, Neopoli-
tan Nights, Play Gypsies, Dance
Gypsies, and Tango du Reve.
Decca's albums of THE MER-
RY WIDOW and THE DESERT
SONG are tops with anyone who
likes the lighter operettas. Kitty
Carlisle, Wilbur Evans, and Fe-
lix Knight do the vocals superb
ly. Decca's DANCING IN THE
DARK" by Carmen Cavallaro
contains such hits as Smoke
Gets In Your Eyes, The VI B
Thought OF You, Cocktails E3D
Two, Lover, Alone Together, and
You're Mine, You. Cavalaro's
"SERENADE" album of Italian
folk songs is worth hearing. He
plays Ciribiribin, Santa Lucia,
Come Back to Sorrento, and
others.

High Prices
Cut Buying

WASHINGTON, Nov. s -
IPA) - Industrial workers
throughout the country have al
ready been forced by rising
prices to make sharp cuts in
their purchase of living essen
tials. the CIO Research & Edu-
cation Dept. announced this
week on the basis of nation
wide survey conducted among
workers families in basic man
ufacturing industries.
More than 721z of the fam
lilies are buying less milk, near
ly 900 are buying less butter
and oleomargarine, and more
than 1870 of the families are
buying fewer eggs, the survey
found.
More than 83 per cent of the
families have cut their pur-
chases of clothing, and nearly
so per cent of the families have
been forced to dig into their
savings in order to meet cur
rent costs of living. II per cent
of the families have $500 or
less in savings. The average
weekly wage of the families in
terviewed was S44.83.
Statistics Are Significant
There are significant por-
tents in these satisfies" said
Kermit Eby director of research
and education. They indicate
that at a period of the nations
creates prosperity, working
class families are rapidly being
priced out of the market on es-
sential food needs. The figures
show clearly that children are
being deprived of badly needed
food. Once again economic
status rather than considera-
tions of health and social well
fare are determining the needs
of many American children"
The extent of the reduced
buying commodities is indicated
in the following figures: the af-
fected families are buying Al
less quarts of milk per week
than previously. The figure
ranged from ga quarts to as
quarts. Butter and oleo pur-
chases fell an average of l. 3
pound a week. Egg purchases
dropped II dozen a week on
the average, with the figure
ranging from IA TO 18.

freshness, that's the big secret
of Mays marvellous salads She
wants the watercress so chilly it
can stand on tiptoe, the lettuce so
sprightly it talks to the fork, the
carrots so cold they snap and
crackle when eaten.
May learned the salad habit
when touring America with her
own opera company, back in the
'2Os. Then the American eating
was based on the meat, potato,
Die axis. Almost no one ever made
meal on salad. May, bored
with the heaviness Of small-town
hotel cooking began making salads
backstage in the theater. She tried
innumerable combinations of all
the foods she was craving - but
greens in particular.
Her first must" for green
salad is faint whiff of garlic. May
rubs the bowl we'll with a cut
Glove before dropping in the green
things.
Herbs there must be for subtle
flavor accents - choice of dill,
chives, tarragon, chervil. thyme or
the sweet summer savoury. An
Italian diva taught her the good
ness of basil minced among green
stuffs. Now she keeps pot of basil
growing on the Office window sill.
May Valentine knows there's
more to green salad than lettuce.

with salt and mix with heavy sour

Crisp French bread usually
accompanies these salads, this cut

It's then May wheels her little
red wagon off to the grocers. The
same little wagon she uses to
haul the musical scores to the

These green bowls carry more
than just green's. Extra additions
are the usual thing. What? Per-
haps thinly sliced carrots or finely
cut scallions or strips of green
pepper, or sliced cucumber, or raw
beets, or diced avocado. Some
times she adds the tiny 1owerettes
of caulifower. Or add spicy cubes
of salami and the salad hits high G
in flavor. Bleu cheese crumbled in
and tossed with the green's gives
a desirable heartiness.
A Jar of canned chicken meat
may be diced, marinated in
French dressing and added last.
Another day it may be the salty
anchovies cut into one-half-lnch
bites and given toss with the
greenery. But take warning, May
never goes overheard on these
additions. The leafy greens must
make up from a half to two-thirds
of each salad.
