problems, such as the organization
Of Western Europe.
This feeling of subservience to
the American election, characteristic
not only of France but of other
Western European countries, was
underscored in French editorial
opinion yesterday as the Republican
convention opened in Philadelphia.
One editorial-and not in Com
munist paper-laboriously explains
that the United States military COM
mander in Germany, Gen. Lucius D.
Clay, has pushed monetary reform
in Germany to give an Quiet to
private American credits and thus
bring votes to the Washington ad-
ministration. And Gen. Clay has
done this, the paper says, despite
Frances resistance.
Call for New Lend-Lease.
Another expounds the view that
the new Western Europe organiza-
tion will remain powerless against
the Russian threat unless it gets
teeth from new Lend-Lease This
editorial regrets that France so
quickly affixed its signature to the
Brussels pact.
Still another paper publishes a
Washington report saying that
Western Europe has no reason to
fear as, according to every source,
Russia will not attack" for at
least six months.

100000 Homeless
In Japan; 5O9b Of New
Housing Prey 10 Fires

TOKYO, Japan, June "a (CDN.
More than 100000 Japanese are
still homeless today, almost three
years after the war ended.
Furthermore, the housing situa-
ton isn't likely to improve for a
long, long time because, although
dwellings 60 up at the rate Of 10000
a month, nearly so per cent OF them
burn down almost as soon they're up
Because of storm, flood and earth
quake, not to mention rocketing
birth rates, Japan has always been
short about 100000 family units.
When the war started the shortage
amounted to 100000, that figure
was upped by 100000 through
B-29 bombings and another $4,000
through fire lanes.
It costs about 10000 yen ($400 at
the current military exchange rate)
to build small wooden house here.
The house rents for $50 yen ($l.75
a month";, an amount which con-
sumes % per cent Of the budget for
a family of five. Three years ago
the same house could have been
built for 10000 yen and rented for
about 125 yen month.
Right now, as result OF the acute
housing shortage, thousands of gov
ernment workers are eating as well
as sleeping in government buildings.
The Japanese taxpayer didn't
mind at first. After all, these gov
ernment building residents were
sleeping on desks and floors. But
then he discovered that they were
enjoying heat and light not avail
able in his own nome. He put up
a loud howl at that.
However, the workers have no
place to go and will undoubtedly
continue to work, eat and sleep in
their offices.

PARIS, June 24.-The Americans

about as important to the French
men as it is to him.
Frenchmen are convinced that
nothing constructive can be accom-

fact, Americas presidential cam
paign has now become the main
scapegoat for all Frances difficulties

equally obviously, it is dangerous

diced celery. u green pepper and
q couple of sprigs Of parsley, all

Powdered milk is ebtainable at

When I first obtained the powdered

think (from my experienced the
aversion some people have to the
use of powdered milk is due to the
lack of thorough mixing. My infor-

was obtained from a nutrition course
I took last fall from the Red Cross.
I, too, would like information on
the obtaining and use of pow
dered eggs.
I'll be glad to give the name OF the

this day of high prices, it's a JOY to
pay 80 cents a gallon, compared to
the fresh milk prices.

SMALL WEDDING.

(FTOn M. r. r., w GSHtbgtOh.)
For Miss L. E. F., Fairfax 1t Is
wise to start early in planning Tor
wedding, even a small one, so
that the week or two weeks before
the big day" you can relax and
enjoy the parties and not be over
tired. Whatever you can do early
should be completed and checked
off your list.
There is so much fun in planning
wedding and so many things to
do and think of, it is hard to put
too many ideas in short article.
Speak with your clergyman as
soon as possible regarding the date,
time and his services for the we'd
ding as June is popular month
and churches are spoken for months
in advance.
Compile the family guest list and
also have your fiance's family do
the same.
If the wedding is to be early in
June, order your invitations in
March, as addressing, stamping and
sealing does take time.
Ushers are really needed and are
such help to greet and escort the
guests to their seats. They should
be at the church at least one-half
to three-quarters of an hour before
the ceremony. They are usually
dressed like the bridegroom and
wear boutonnieres like the best man.
A florist would help you plan for
the decorations. Flowers in season
for the altar or front Of the church,
aisle of flowers, and brides table
are white gladioli, larkspur, peonies
and snapdragons.
List what music you would prefer
the organist to play before the
ceremony. He usually plays for
about half an hour, but have a few
extra in case of any delay. Semi
popular is not usually used. Some
lovely ones are ION Wings of Song, u
Mendelssohns music, Wagners

Then add small portion OF the
milk, blend that, and then add the
rest.
The same idea works with thick
ening gravy, except that I put flour
and cold water into a glass jar with
tight screw top and shake. Then
I pour -four and water mixture into
the pan fat and drippings and
blend. 1t never Jumps. Hope these
