TRICK OF THE CHEF
To protect the hands when ex-
tracing onion juice, do not peel
the onion. Cut slice from the top;
then scrape up the juice with a
teaspoon. For more juice, cut off
another slice and scrape again. The
onion skin protects the hands.

BY IDA BAILEY ALLEN

dEHE'S an interesting food bull
letin about the onion festival which
il held in Wallacy County. Texas
every year. And here's q picture
that shows . great field Of Texa:
onions ready to 60 to market"
said to the Chef.
Everything seems to grow big
and beautiful in Texas" he re-
marked. II admire your American
custom Of combining strength with
beauty. In France, we often have
food and wine fiestas, but this is the
first time I have ever heard of an
onion festival. But l must agree
with the Texans that the onion de-
serves this great honor. 1t is one of
the most useful and versatile of all
vegetables. What would the soup,
the ragout, the sauces be without
the wonderful essence of the onion?
And, Madame, I hope that one day
soon, some ingenious American will
make an invention that will make it
possible for people to eat plenty Of
raw onions whether by themselves
or in company"
Two Ounces a Week
y Americans consume more than
e'billion pounds Of onions year. But
large as this amount sounds. it's
only about two ounces a week per
person. And that is not enough, for
onions have many valuable prop
critics. They contain B, c and G
vitamins and are rich in calcium
and iron. Strangely enough, small
onions contain more vitamin c per
weight than large ones, and more
over, unlike many other vegetables,
this vitamin is found in the center
Of the onion rather than next to the
skin.
"Whst the scientists do not tell
US is the wonderful flavor onions
add to every well-known dish in
which they are used" observed the
Chef. Every often this flavor COM
bines SO unobtrusively in q sauce
or rssout, that it's presence is not
even suspected; while at the same
time it adds its own charm to the
symphony Of lavors.
Abundant Crop
The news is that the onion crop
will be abundant this year, and rea-
sonable in price. Production of on
ions, according to the United States
Department Of Agriculture, will
probably exceed the crop Of last
year and the average for the past
ten years. They are being shipped
all over the country from coast to
coast. California reds will be ar
ranged side by side with New Mexico
sweets. New Jersey Ebenezers are
arriving in New Mexico. And early
in the spring, before the fall and
early winter crops are used up,
Texas will bs harvesting onions
skain.
II think once each week the
family should have the French onion
soup" intsrposed the Chef.
And vote for plain cooked but
tered onions, or onions in cream
sauce" I added, "at least once
week - vegetable"
Madame" detained the Chef
with Gallie enthusiasm, speaking
for the men Of the country, I make a
petition for meat or fish smothered
in onions. And once 4 month pro-

said, chat under present condi-
tions revival of the form would
serve no purpose except perhaps
to complicate matters for the en-
ployer, who in the vast majority
of cases knows best how to tell his
story and needs no prescribed
forms upon which to do it, so long
as it is concise, legible and peril
nent. Should there be any doubt in
his mind as to which facts are
pertinent, the Local Board or it's
Clerk will willingly enlighten him

Colonel Stanwood explained that
registrants deferred because of
civilian occupations Except agri-
culture) were placed in Glass liza
and he quoted from the Selective
Service regulations as follows:
"In Class liza shall be placed
any registrant whose employment
in industry, OF other occupation or
employment, or whose continued
service in an office-under the
United States, or any State, Ter
ritory or possession, or the Dis
trict of Columbia, or whose activi-
ty in study, research. or medical,
scientific, or other endeavors is
found to be necessary to the main
tenance of the national health,
safety, or interests.
Necessary Employment De-
fined.-(a) A registrant's employ
ment in industry or other occupa-
ton, service in office, or activity in
study, research, or medical, scien-
tifc, or other endeavors shall be
considered to be necessary to the
maintenance of the national health,
safety, or interest only when all of
the following conditions exist:
"(1) The registrant is, or but
for seasonal or temporary inter
ruption would be, engaged in such
activity;
"(2) The reglstrant cannot be
replaced because of a shortage of
persons with his qualifications or
skill in such activity; and
"(3) The removal of the regis
trant would cause material loss
of effectiveness in such activity.
"(b) The President may, from
time to time, % designate special
categories of occupation, employ
ment, or activity essential to the
national health, safety, or inter
ests; and (2) prescribe regulations
governing the deferment of indi-
vidual registrants engaged in such
occupations, employments, or acti-
vities."
Length of deferments in Class
H-A," Colonel Stahwood pointed
out, "are for one year or less, but
Local Board can reopen and con-
slider a registrant's case any time
it believes the facts warrant it and
reclassify him if his case no longer
fits the requirements of his origin

the case for his deferment ceases
to exist"

Col. Henry c. Stanwood
Explains Draft Deferments

Colonel Henry C. Stanwood
Maryland Director of Selective
Service, said today that employers
wishing to file deferment requests
in behalf of an employee should
have the written request with its
necessary information in the hands
of the employees Local Board be-
fore he files his QUESTIONABLE, or,
at least, simultaneously.
"The Local Board classifies each
registrant on the basis of informa-
tion in his QUESTIONABLE" Colonel
Stanwood said, "and other peril
nent information. Obviously, the
Local Board wants all the informa-
tion it can obtain at the time of
classification, in order that a fair
classification result in the first
place.
"This is not to say that an en-
ployer is prohibited from filing in
formation after the registrant is
classified, for a Local Board may
reopen a registrant's case after
original classification if it believes
additional information warrants
re-opening, but, if all the informa-
tion is available at the time of
original classification, much time
and trouble can be saved all of
these three interested parties-the
registrant, the employer and the
Local Board.
Moreover, an employer in order
to have the right of appeal, must
have filed a written request for the
deferment of the registrant prior
to the determination from which
he would appeal"
Asked whether Form 42-A"-
which employers used in request
ing deferment for employees dur
ing World War II-would be re-
vived under the present act,
Colonel Stanwood said that it was
not contemplated at the present
time.

posed of Senate and House men,

to have an important bearing on
what the Eighty-First Congress

controls, price-fxing and ration

after taxes, reached the record
high of approximately $17,O0O,0OO,-

This increase, however, was the

the war. TIE influence of credit
controls-in effect throughout
October for the first time in twelve
months-or a showdown in sonsum-

the small increase.
