Well-tomorrow you'll be sitting
down to a big Christmas dinner
and you'll be following right IN medi-
eval tradition, even though this Is
streamlined and atomic 194S.
Those Yuletide banquets OF the
Middle Ages must have been some
thing! Reading an account OF the
time, one is struck by the vast guam
titles of food that covered the castle
tables. OF course, all the castle stan
feasted with the lord and his lady
and If there were some poor peasants
outside the walls who didn't have
enough to eat, no mention is made
Of them.
Serving cocktails before dinner to-
morrow? So did they-only theirs
was q wassail bowl. Rich wine or
even hot ale, with spices and apples
floating on the steaming surface soon
had the company in the highest
Of spirits.
With the seating of the guests in
the order of their rank, the feast
began. First, the boar'S head,
wreathed in laurel and rosemary
with q lemon in its mouth, was
paraded solemnly around the table,
accompanied by trumpeters, choris-
ters and minstrels. The boars Tor
the feast always were slain by hunt
ers with swords and often the blood
stained weapons would be displayed
proudly to the dinner guests. Huge
meat pies followed the boar's head
In them rabbits, geese, ducks
woodcocks, pigeons, blackbirds and
meats tongues.
Next, one of the ladies was given
the honor of bringing in the
peacock" This had been prepared
by removing the skin with the
plumage intact, roasting the bird or
O spit and then replacing the feath-
ers before 1t was borne to the table
It was such a royal-looking affail
that serving men were considered
too humble to carry it.
Brawn was another essential part
OF the feast. Large boarS were per-
mitted to live in a semiwild state
Then a few weeks prior to Christ
mas they were put to fatten. They
were belted tightly about the carcass
to make the meat dense and brawny
The meat was sold in long rolls.
There were oysters, pheasants
chickens and ducks. There were
huge loins of beef and launches OF
venison. And ever so much more
Also, there were atrocious table man.
ners and the dogs which swarmed
around the table had, in truth, a
feast day.

(Fron, Mrs. N. D. M, Takon,a Park.
I have two problems with which
would like some assistance. First
my husband and I are expecting q
baby in February. and would like
to know where you can have novel
announcements made up. Since my
husband is in the banking business
we thought an announcement in the
form of a check would be quite ap-
|propriate.
Second. I have some beautiful
Irhinestones which were given to me
and have been hunting every place
in the city to find pins, earrings
etc., to mount them on. did find
one place where I can get earring
settings for them but that is all
I'm sure that there must be some
place where a person might secure

| pineapple. I pour this mixture in
to my largest ice-cube tray, but
do not put 1t into the freezing
compartment of the refrigerator.
When nearly set I like to take
about u cupful of mayonnaise and
stir into the salad and return 1t
to the refrigerator until time to
serve. OF course this adds fat
land many calories) but Is really
fine salad without 1t. When
served on crisp lettuce leaves 1t is
very attractive. Frosted vegetables
are quickly prepared, but some
take IS or 20 minutes to cook.
They may be partially cooked, and
heated and seasonings added dur
ing the last few minutes. And as
for mashed potatoes, they only
take two minutes with the new
instant potato preparation now
available at all groceries and mar
kets in this area. They're really
swell, too.
May I add to Mrs. A. C.'s sug-
gestion about measuring shorten
ing, a trick taught in a cooking
class many years ago. If your
recipe calls for n cup shortening,
fill your measuring cup u full OF
cold water, drop your shortening
into the water until the water line
reaches the cup measurement;
drain of the water and You have
y cup of shortening, with very
little OF 1t adhering to the cup.
The same steps are followed for
any other portion OF a cup OF
shortening, subtracting in your
mind the amount needed from the
full cupful and using cold water
for the difference.
GRAHAM CRACKER PIE.
from Mrs. J. p. s., HyattsDille.)
This is not the regular filled pie
with graham cracker crust.
May I take this opportunity to
thank Mrs. A. D. of Washington for
the fabulous cookie. recipe from
McCalls October magazine? 1t Is
the exact recipe I wanted, and I
appreciate the trouble Mrs. A. D.
and others took to copy it and send
it in. Perhaps, in return she (and
any others might accept the follow
ing recipe for very delicious and
also very different dessert taken
from the cook book entitled, "One
Thousand Ways to Please a Hus-
band"
Fourteen graham crackers, cup
sugar, u cup broken nuts, l tea
spoon vanilla, Il teaspoon salt, 3
egg yolks, egg whites (beaten), l
teaspoon baking powder. Roll the
crackers and add the sugar, nuts,
vanilla, salt and egg yolks. Mix
we'll and fold in the rest OF the
ingredients. Pour into buttered
glass pie dish and bake for 80 min
utes in a slow oven. Cool and
spread with whipped cream for
serving. (We enjoy the pie with
vanilla ice cream, either as dessert
or as evening refreshment with
coffee. 1t is usually a "hit" with
guestS.)

The Labor. View

across the nation by restrictive
covenants, we were forced to grub
along on mental jobs at starva-
ton wages.
. The Taft-Hartley law passed by
congress last year declared closed
shop contracts illegal, but said
nothing about race discrimina-
ton. Unions can still discriminate
against Negro members but they
cannot now prevent a worker
from being hired if an employer
so desires. But the employer is
still free to discriminate as he
sees fit. But all parties now, ex-
cept the "Dixiecrats" are in fav-
or, at least on paper, of fair en-
ployment practices legislation.
Last week the National Labor
Relations board took from unions
the last vestige o fthe closed shop.
In an unanimous decision it ruled
that hiring halls, that is the union
controlled point which employers
contact to obtain workers, r also
illegal since unions in practice
discriminate against non union
members. Eventually the case will
be decided by the Supreme court
lof the United States and it seems
certain that a court which would
throw out restrictive covenants
will also uphold restriction
against the closed shop.

Government

TUSKEGEE, Aug. rs. CAMP
In the future one of Tuskegee
institutes responsibilities will be
to teach the Negro he has a
sduty' to take part in the gov
eminent of the United States. DR..
Frederick D. Patterson, president
of Tuskegee, said this week.
The south should learn to raise
healthy human beings al well as
healthy stock, DR.. Pattersons aid.
Describing the south as a place
where the people we're so poorly
fed. that they were always irri-
table, and so poorly housed that
they were always sick, he advo-
Gated a cure of not book Learning
alone, but a demonstration that a
good life can be developed from
good housing and growing good
crops and rearing intelligent chill
dren.
Declaring that he was not an
agitator nor a dreamer, he said
he was an educator who wanted
to help the south. The south, he
said, must devote as much time to
bringing up happy healthy human
beings as it does to raising prize
| stock. Negroes and poor whites,
hesaid, should have as much at
tention as stock.
The challenge to every Negro
school, he said, is to teach the
Negro how to achieve a higher
standard of living.

l"has for years since slavery beer

wealth has been derived from tn
amount of suffering that tn

has been forced to undergo"
Unless Tuskegee could help tn
southern Negro whose happines
and prosperity are being assaulte'
on many fronts, he said, the invest
ment in the buildings, the opera
Itions and administration at thi
school has been wasted.
The aim of his new program
DR.. Patterson declared, is not t

There is no trade union device
more highly coveted by union
leaders than the closed shop. I'm
der it only members Of the union
get jobs, and under it only those
members who remain in good
standing are permitted to keep
their Jobs. There is nothing fun
damentally wrong with closed
shop agreements-if administered
by democratic unions and enlight-
ened officials, but it has been
used in a most vicious manner to;
1. Discriminate against Negroes
and other so-called undesirables.
2. To oerce workers because of
their political beliefs.
8. To preserve certain skilled
Jobs for the sons of the chosen
few in certain parts Of the coun-
try in the building trades, among
electricians and stage hand for ex-
ample. More than any other fac
tor the closed shop has kept Ne
eroes out of the skilled mechani-
. cal trades.
What started out as tolerable
discrimination against Negroes,
Mexicans, non-C christians and non
whites in 1920, became in 1910
a menac to freedom of speech
and freedom of political action,
Many union leaders not realizing
that what was overlooked in the
192O's when the labor movement
was small and averaging less thar
100000 members in the whole
country, became a social menace
when whole industries were or
ganized and the labor movement
had grown to five to sixe times it
earlier strength.
Thus the extension of closes
shop contracts over a broad are;
of American industry greatly in
creased the power of certain pref
udiced union officials to distor
the lives of American citizens. A
a matter of fact just as ~restric
tive covenants had barred Negroe
from living in certain neighbol
hoods, closed shop agreements ha
barred them from desirable occu
pations.
