Mr. Brownells lifelong interest

According to Mr.. BroWnell,

In his letter this highly and
widely respected monetary au-

tionship comes from the fact that
our Government, after the pur-
chase, proceeds to store the physi-
cal gold in the Treasury and then
to turn it into bank credit money.
It also increases by this amount
bank credit reserves, which
makes possible increases of bank
credit through loans or discounts

reserves. Thus the 1947 gold pur-
chaseS served as the basis for in
creasing bank credit $10- billion.
which, plus the original $2-billion,i
makes a total of $12-billion, or a.
possible increase of bank credit
money of $6 for each ST of gold.
On this point another monetary
authority, Mr.. Eccles, Chairman
of the Federal Reserve Board, ex-
pressed the belief on November
Is, 1947, that the. inflow of gold
in 1948 would be between 2 and 3
billion dollars and then added,
Multiplied by six, this would:
permit an expansion of bank
credit of from IL to 18 billion dol.
lars" Such an inflow would mean
greater expansion of credit,
more easy money and consequent.
infiationary trend toward higher
prices for everything you buy.
Mr.. Brownell's letter makes
clearly understandable how our.
ownership today Of 500 of the!
worlds monetary gold and our;
continued heavy purchases of
monetary gold stocks serves di-
rectly to speed up the infiationary
spiral at home while it serves to-
increase the dollar stringency
abroad. He believes that the way
to cure these ills is to:
Q) Rescind the prohibition of
ownership of gold by United
States citizens.
(2) Permit a free market, both
in the United States and else
where, for all gold, including
United States mine production,
and
(3) Leave the present gold
policy otherwise unchanged, con-.
tinuing the obligation of the
Treasury to buy gold offered at
$35 per ounce.
Some opposition he says may
arise to the adoption of the pro-
gram he recommends but in his
opinion it, is much more i'm
portant to stop the present infa-
tionary effect by reducing pur-
chases than to continue to follow
the course which can lead to So
cial and economic ''oaster

MAIN-couRsE CUsTARDS

'Custard has had a long and
honorable career as a dessert for
young and old, but its possibilities
as hot main dish often are over
looked, cookery scientists of the
U. s Department of Agriculture
suggest. This cooked combination
OF eggs and milk, minus sweeten-
ing and plus seasoning and other
nourishing, flavorful ingredients
such as cheese make an economi-
cal, different main dish as an
alternate for meat. Grade B eggs,
now in plentiful supply. are as
good for custard as the more ex-
pensive Grade A eggs. Cheese is
another item on the abundant list.
Individual cheese custards, hot
from the oven, turned out on a
platter and surrounded with to-
mato sauce, make a colorful
main dish. The recipe for a fami-
ly of five or six calls for the
following ingredients: 3 cups
milk; tablespoon flour; " pound
sharp-flavored cheese, shaved
thin; "a teaspoon salt; 3 eggs; S
drops tabasco sauce. To make:
Heat milk in a double boiler,
reserving half cup of cold milk
to mix with the flour. Stir the
flour and-milk mixture into the
hot milk, add cheese and salt, and
stir until cheese melts. Beat eggs
slightly, then pour the hot mix
ture into them, and tabasco sauce
Pour into creased custard cups,
place in pan of hot water, and
bake, and bake in moderate
over $3.50 degree FahrenheiD un-
til set in the center when tested
with the point of knife. Serve
hot.
Another unusual custard may
be made with grated raw carrot
or turnip. Ingredients to serve
five or six are: 3 eggs; ~ cups
grated raw carrot or turnip; 2
cups milk; l teaspoon salt; 3
tablespoons melted fat. To make:
Beat eggs slightly, add all other
ingredients and pour into a greas-
ed baking dish or creased Gus
tard cups. Place on a rack in a
pan of hot water. Bake in a mode
rate oven about an hour or until
the custard is set in the center.
Serve at once.
For success with these or other
custards, remember to keep the
heRt moderate, never to over
cook, and to serve promptly. Gus
tard cannot stand and wait in
the oven or be warmed over with
out separating.

EGGS AT A GLANCE

To help the home maker know
the eggs she buys, poultry
marketing specialists of the U.
S. Department of Agriculture
have prepared a picture chart in
colors which shows the different
weight classes of eggs (sizes) and
also the differences in quality of
grade, according to u. S. stand
ards. This chart for customers is
small enough to tack on a kitchen
wall or door where the home
maker can consult it at a glance
before she goes to- market and
also when she cooks eggs
The colored photographs of
eggs when broken out of the
she'll and also after poaching and
frying show why Grade AA and
A eggs are especially desirable
for these two methods of cook
ing. For general cooking, how
ever, the less expensive Grade B
or c eggs may be used to advan-
tage.
