Leonard Parker, treasurer fo
the North Carolina Democatic
club in Washington, concentat-
ed on Dare County Crabs and
shad. He is originally from
Gatesville. Kidd Brewer, presi-
dent of that organization, is the
hamburger expert, bathed with
its tomato and onion sauce
which he cocts. Harold
Thomerson delights in whizzlng
up lot of eggs and scrambling
them-and he has special way
of getting just the right aroma
of coffee. Jack Munsey uses
every pot, pan and dish in the
kitchen where he is preparing
a meal and goes in among other
things for rich desserts made
with berry and egg. Henry
Oglesby is directing his culinary
talents at the moment to baby
food, but he has been known
to stir up a feast ''for the
gods"
MEAN BISCUIT
Dick Spencer can roll a mean
biscuit - and does with the
greatest of ease. "Bill" Primm,
husband of the vivacious Beliz
Bailey Primm of Raleigh and
Washington can do a nice turn
in the kitchen with either "plan
or fancy" cooking. A zone Dish
Man" is George Hill Grant who
has acquired the art of grilllng
steak over charcoal. We hope
he will continue to practice on
his new talent all winter - for
our benefit. He also likes to
serve his guests such dishes as

At the music and motion pic

their Warren street home, a
round of conversation brought
to the fore the unsuspected
talents of some North Carolina
men hitherto known as expert
merely in their business lives.
Which means that the Nations
Capital is full of important Tar
Heel Amateur Chefs. Its the
men, it seems, who like nothing
better than to whip up a little
something new and then to
amuse their friends. And that
night, there was a busting ex-
change of recipes between the

vastly more than a mere stok-

feet omelet lies in the timing.
You've got to know just when
to take it out of the pan. No.

unhelpfully enough. Mrs. Webb
advanced the theory that it was
actually the various mixtures
spread over the omelets that
made them so popular with her
husbands friends. Lawrence
Newman modestly admitted
that he is a first-rate waffle
maker. But he frankly stated
that it was his charming wife
who prepared the chicken that

chunks of lobster, pieces OF avo-

of which I promptly forgot. Our

and compulsory schooling for all
children, was outlined today by the
Far Eastern Commission.
A detailed policy directive for

teaching Of military subjects should
be totally forbidden" in all Japan's
postwar educational institutions.
The directive, one of a series is
sued by the 11-nation commission

down these general principles:
/. Education should be looked
on as the pursuit of truth, as a
preparation for life in a demo-
cratic nation and as a training for
the social and political responsible
ity which freedom entails.
2. Measures should be undertaken
as rapidly as possible to achieve
equality of educational opportunity,
regardless of sex or social position
8. Special emphasis should be
placed on reorganization of normal
schools. Teachers should be guar
anteed a basic living wage.
4. Teaching Of ultranationalism,
state shintoism, veneration Of the
Emperor, exaltation of the state
over the individual and race SUI
periority should be routed out, and
textbooks containing such ideas
withdrawn.

Cooperative Food Buying Plan
Studied by D. c. inspectors

Zone case in point is meat. The
store owner buys a side Of beef at
the wholesale house for so cents a
pound. This is the wholesale price.
How is he going to sell this meat for
so cents a pound after it is cut up?
"He may sell the steaks and
rossts at this price. but how about
soup bones. Is he going to charge
so cents a pound for them? He may
have a run on steaks at the whole
sale price, but he is going to be
stuck with the less desirable cuts. "
Store owners who have adopted
the plan assert the fees pay their
overhead and allow profit over the
wholesale price they pass on to the
consumer. They have said the
weekly fee can be dropped to $1.50
when 200 members are enlisted.
The plan here. was copied from
one operating in Philadelphia, where
butcher reported q thriving busi-
ness after q few weeks trial.

Christmas Buyers Jam Stores;
Crowds Exceed Last Years

mas crop of faring tempers and
hurt feelings among the shoppers,
which didn't exactly add to the
Yuletide spirit of friendliness.
But a more serious note was
sounded when Judge Almond w.
Scott announced yesterday he may
order shoplifting suspects to face
charges in Municipal Court rather
than forefit collateral at police pre-
cinct stations.
Six Forfeit Collateral.
Seven petty larceny cases came
before the court yesterday-first re-
suit Of a special 45-man anti-shop-
lifting police detail which joined the
Christmas shoppers at stores two
days ago. Six forfeited collateral,
which Judge Scott said he allowed
reluctantly. The seventh pleaded
not guilty and will face a jury trial
next month.
Nov that the annual Christmas
deluge of shoplifting has started in
earnest, warned Judge Scott, II
think fOrfeitures are q bad thing
you let these thieves off with
simply surrendering $25, and all of
them begin to feel they can have a
field day In. the stores with relatively
little risk"
Il don't propose to let them off
SO easy" he added.
Lost Purse Recovered.
One Christmas shopper is con-
vinced, however, that there really
is human kindness and honesty
among the masses of people showing
each other around in stores. Mrs.
Charles Brandenburg, of 1920 High
land street, Arlington, was shopping
at a downtown store Friday after
noon, when she left her purse on
a counter as she stopped to shift
packages from one arm to another
An hour later she missed it and went
to the lost-and-found department.
The purse, containing $3.50 cash and
a $400 watch, had been turned in by
Mrs. Ruth Boteler, of 6l43 Kansas
avenue NV
Mrs. Brandenburg and her hus-
band last night said they were so
amazed at the honesty that they
haven't decided yet just what reward
they will make to Mrs. Boteler.
