Once again you are finding ready
to-eat canned soups on your grocers'
shelves-the enforced condensed
variety of the war days may still
be had If you prefer that type, but
the real thing" is there, too, in
increasing quantities. You can do
wonders by combining various
canned soups and these ready y-to-eat
versions lend themselves especially
well to experimentation.
They say that the Crimean War
of 1856 played a big part in the
development of canned soups, which
were practically unknown prior to
that period. Alexis Soyer, one OF
the most famous chefs of all time,
left London at the height of his
culinary fame, to supervise and pre-
pare foods for the British fighting
men. His soups and stews were
something new and wonderful in
soldiers fare and he studied ways
and means of preparing the food
in advance and keeping and trans
porting it without spoilage until
it was needed.

slow oven. If the leg of lamb
weighs 6 pounds and you plan tc
serve dinner at Z o'clock then put
the roast in the oven about 3::45 pm.
Set your oven control at 800 degrees
F. and forget about it. If you have
a meat thermometer, so much the
better. Roast until the thermom-
eter registers 180 degrees F. The
meat will be ready to come out of
the oven in 8 hours or at GAS pm.
This will give it time to set few
minutes before time to carve.
After the roast is in the oven, pre-
pare your fruit cup and return it
to the refrigerator to chill. A nice
combination for a spring menu
could be fresh pineapple (cubed)
and Strawberries garnished with
sprigs Of mint.
At 5 O'Clock set the table. Take
serving dishes to kitchen for warm
ing. Arrange coffee service. Check
to see that everything (salts, pep
pers, etc. Is in place. At 5:45 pre-
pare salads (do not add dressing un-
til just before serying). Put in re-
frigerator. Six o'clock, pare pota-
toes. Let stand in cdd water un-
til time for cooking. At 6:15 put
water on for potatoes and start
cooking. Chop parsley, mix with
butter; set aside to use later.
At $40 put on water for peas.
Allow time stated on package for
cooking. Next prepare the drink
ing water, put ice cubes in glasses,
cut butter, measure coffee in coffee
maker.
Remove roast from oven. Put
rolls in to heat. Test potatoes. If
tender, drain and add parsley, but
ter; set In warm place! Test peas,
add butter and keep warm. Add
dressing to salad. Put butter on
butter plates, pour water, start cof-
fee. Transfer roast to serving
platter. Remove fruit cup from
refrigerator. BY now it is Z o'clock,
and your dinner should be ready to
serve.

Plan Your Dinner Party
By Violet Faulkner

So the boss Is coming to dinner
and you're all in dither! OF course
you could take him out, but dining
out is expensive and besides friend
husband is anxious to show off, in
his newly established home. This
leaves it up to you to do the family
proud.
The first thing to do is plan your
menu and make out your grocery
list. Market the day before, If pos
sible, or early in the morning the
day of your dinner. Clean all the
greens as soon as you bring them
home. In planning your menu, keep
it simple! It is far better to serve
few well-cooked dishes, nicely
served, than several fancy ones over
decorated, poorly cooked and as
poorly served.
For the inexperienced cook the
greatest difficulty seems to be get
ting every thing ready to serve at
the same time. To be concrete, let's
take sample menu and work out
a time schedule.
Minted fruit cup
Roast leg OF lamb
Pdrsleyed Potatoes Frozen Peas
WatercreSs-rGd salad
Hot rolls Butter Lemon Torte
Coffee.
First. decide on the jobs that can
be done in advance. The salad
greens were washed and put to crisp
in the refrigerator when you brought
them from the grocery. So they
can, be checked off the list, ready
for use. The dessert that was chosen
for this dinner happens to be the
type that can be made the night
before. It needs to ripen in the
refrigerator "a hours. Having the
dessert ready the day ahead, makes
the rest of the dinner much easier
to handle the next day. 1t also re-
lieves you of all that last minute
worry and fuss.
The roast will take the longest to
cook, so it goes in the oven first.

Dear Dorothy Dix: spent my
early married life in my husbands S
parents home because we were too
poor to set up q home OF our own.
I always remembered that it was
THEIR home, so I never interfered
in any way with their habits and
customs. / adapted myself to all Of
their ideas, so we spent wonderful
times together and in all of the
seven years that lived with them,
there was not one quarrel.
When they were old, they came to
my home and I cared for them to
the end, trying to compensate to
them, who had done so much for
me, when they needed 1t. OF course,
there are some mother in laws who
are interfering and hard to live
with, but any daughter -in-law can
get along with her mother-in law
if she is determined to do it. Even
mothers-in-law can be tanned by
kindness.

ooh! That mine eye might closed
be to what concerns me not to see
that deafness might possess mine ear
to what concerns me not to hear;
that truth my tongue might always
tie from ever speaking foolishly;
that no vain thing might ever rest,

Thomas Elwood in 1889.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox said, 'The
highest culture is to speak no ill.
The best reformer is the man, who,
by his own well-ordered life alone,
reproves the erring. When thy gaze
falls on thine own self be most
severe; but when it falls upon a fell
low man let kindliness control it,
and beware of that belittling CEN
sure which springs forth from the
common lips like weeds from marshy
soil"
Gossip can do a lot of mischief,
and most OF us have been more or
less guilty of this evil in one way or
another. Regulations have been
ruined; homes wrecked; friends lost;
countless troubles have burdened in
nocent people. All because of SANDER,
that idle tongues delight to spread.
One woman says to another, you
won't tell soul. will you?" And the
other replies, mot a single word.
You can trust me-" Then each of
these women tries to spread the
news as far as possible. It's a very
intriguing game: GOSSIP But it's
always losing game, for the one
who plays it. The stake is ones
own character which must be for
feited in order to win from another,
his good name. There are unfor-
tunately, men gossips as well as
women, however, they are in the
minority.
James Lane Allen thus describes a
tale-bearer: "a crippled toad with
subtle tongue squatted for an hour
at the ear of Eve, and Eve beguiled,
listened. Yet still believe that
story false, which ought not to be
true!"
Some time, perchance when one
is entertained in the intimacy of a
family circle, an unpleasant episode
may take place to which one is all
uncomfortable witness, yet which
the outside world should not know.
Unless it Is necessary afterwards. to
relate what has been seen and heard,
take heed of the admonition of a
sage: Let what thou nearest In the
house of thine host be as though it
were not"
Benjamin Franklin wrote: Glass,
china and reputation are easily
cracked and never well mended, so
be careful how thee talks about thy
|neighber. If thee say things with
the intention of hurting him, then
thee is malicious. He who condemns
another is far worse than he whom
he condemns" A wise man said,
ITO expose the fault of another,
merely for the sake of gossip, is a
despicable thing. It Is better, gently
to correct the faults of a friend by
bringing them to his notice. We are
not always conscious of our faults,
and one who is wise. wishes to know
and be rid of them"

speech only from the malicious
comments of certain U. s. papers

see the justice of his charge that

Vishinsky's speech was very con-

He listed a number of influential
Americans who are inciting new

$there was little danger at present

said.
The magazine is a publication of

Mr.. Ulrich advised party workers
at the same time not to be complac-

said that in the past foreign coun-
tries had sent spies and diversionists

'We cannot forget that, capital

"It is well known by speeches of

Employers Shut Down
Handling Of Cargo
In Los Angeles Area
Dispute Over Foremen in
Longshoremen's Union
Is Brought to Head
By The Assceioted Press

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 1.-THE
Waterfront Employers Associa-
ton brought cargo handling to
a stop in Los Angeles and Long
Beach Harbors today.
The association, representing IL
stevedoring firms, decreed that after
last midnight no more crews of the
CTO international Longshoremens S
and Warehousemen's Union would
be called for loading or unloading
of freighters.
However, under an informal truce
longshore crews continued working
after midnight to unload perishables
from the British ship Loeb Avon
Work proceeded with the moving of
10000 stems of bananas to waiting
refrigerated freight cars and trucks
The port freight shutdown brought
to head the dispute in which the
union demands that 1t be recognized
as bargaining agent for longshore
foremen and the employers have re-
fused on the ground that the fore
men are part of management.
Fifteen freighters were caught
in the shutdown and an estimated
5000 longshoremen and $50 foremen
were involved.
