Journey
By FLOYD SCHMOE

urday we worked until noon and
then went swimming. So far, we
have not missed day, although as
is usually my luck, we laid tile in
the rain. Fortunately summer rain
in Hiroshima is warm and although
it does not cool the air as we would
like, it also does not chill you as Sc
attic rain does.
1t is a mile and a half from our
hostel to the job and much farther
by street car, so we walk That takes
another hour each day. Usually on
the way down. we stop at the little
mill where we buy our lumber and
wheel load over by hand cart. The
mill is a half mile from the houses
but it is all level or down hill except
up to the hump of the bridge across
the Loa river We have hauled all
our lumber this way and the natives
get quite kick out of seeing AM
orleans pulling a hand cart with 2
heavy load of lumber on it.
The lumber is good and cheaper
than at home, although still too cost
ly for the japanese to use freely.
Perhaps that is why the supply
seems to be ample. 1t is cut by eye
on a very crude mill and the only
standard piece is the 31a 31a franz
ing timber and that is only approx
mate.
These timbers are mostly "sugp'
or cryptomaria, species related to
our redwood. The flooring boards,
about SO inches thick and random
widths are of japanese red pine,
and the Notwithstanding and CELL
ing stuff which is only quarter Of
an inch thick is mostly of Hinokl
Cypress, beautiful wood similar 70
our Incense cedar We used hard
wood, beech and chestnut, for the
entrance step and for the "kokono-
men,.
At noon, we have "Obento', jap
anese style, which is rice and vege-
tables with tea, but we top it Off
with the luxury of can of fruit
which we share with the japanese
workers eve then throw the can
,,,,Jar tho bn,,ca co fl,ax, will L,,ou,
Americans worked here. Empty till
cans are the tracks" Americans
leave wherever they go around the
world. At three-thirty we pick Up
our tools, gather sack of shavingS
and wood scraps for the bath fire
and tell the japanese "daikusan'
sayonara. He works eight hours a
day and seven days week.
The girls take turns keeping house,
one each day. SO our laundry is done
and the japanese bath is hot when
we get home. 1t is good to stretch
out with nothing on but a pair OF
shorts for an hour before supper
and relax bit. The days are beastly
hot even when it rains.
The other fellows take turns at
washing the dishes and burying the
garbage in the Tanimoto garden
but since I need my evenings for
bookkeering.~dand writing I do my
share by sgetting up early and get
ting breakfast each morning. My
corn fritters and hot cakes are be-
coming famous all over Hiroshima.

WHEATLESS DIETS.

(From Mrs. r. D. B., Arlington.)
I am sorry to have taken so long
to answer two requests for help on
"wheatless diets" One, I think,
from Maryland, the other from here
in Arlington. Good Housekeeping
Magazine Institute, Fifty-seventh
street at Eight avenue, New York 10,
N. T., has prepared a leaflet, AL
lergies and Cooking for Allergies,"
which contains several recipes for
baked foods, etc, without wheat.
Friends have used them, and say
they produce very palatable results.
The sheet is primarily for teachers
of cooking classes, and costs 10 cents.
Though a very old hand at home-
making, I find many helps in the
Clearing House. and even were
that not true, I enjoy the friendly
kindliness-a touch of the Golden
Rule-to be found there, every day..

From Mrs. o. w. E., Washington. J
Will some kind reader tell me
where I can obtain a copy of Life
Magazine for December. l947, or
July of l94S Qast year. which con-
tanned an ancient calendar" in
colors. I am rather a shut-in in
winter and wish to arrange the said
calendar under glass as a screen or
under glass table top in pat
tern. I put the calendar months
together in order as the months
come, with a narrow gilt raised edg-
ing one finds at an art shop. have
the one set of six pictures, but every
other month is on the back of a
picture. SO I lack the other six. I
put the pictures together in a pat
tern on linen-paper foundation
to fit the table so it can be lifted
off when extension of table is de-
sired, and the glass put aside. A
friend made one, and it was ex-
quisite, as the colors were so rich.
1t was greatly admired and was
used for between meals as an orna-
mental table.

Re: Request for Casserole Dish,

those dishes that improves with each
rewarming. Cut pounds of pork

to be shoulder-have used leftover
pork roast or other cooked pork in
very small cubes. Fry in hot skillet
until brown. Add at least 8 onions
cut in slices and continue. cooking
until they are a good, rich color
While pork is sizzling along, cook u
pound wide noodles in boiling sailed
water. When these are cooked and
drained, combine with the pork and
onions, along with 212 to 3 cups
tomato puree (No. 2la can, plus a bit
OF water, have also used tomato
paste>.
Add 2 cloves of garlic, sliced ever
so fine casually use garlic Salt, part
OF a pound of cheese cut in bits, salt
and pepper, and put all in shallow
pan, Cover with grated cheese and
bake in a fairly quick over, 375, until
brown. May be made in advance
and heated before using. We think
1t is better made the day before and
warmed up.

cARTWHEEL IRON RECIPE.

CARIW WHEEL IRON HEC1FE.
(Fron, L. T. F., W1shington.)
I have had so many good recipes
from this page, now I want to help
Mrs. M. from Washington who
wants the cartwheel iron recipe.
She has to purchase this odd iron
first. One cup -four, l teaspoon
sugar, cup milk, egg. Heat the
waffle iron by dipping it in hot
oil fat to 10 seconds. Remove it
and dip it into batter even to top
of iron. Don't let batter get on the
top of the iron. Then dip in pan
containing enough oil to cover top
of iron, gradually lift it up until
waeile drops off by itself. If batter
sticks to waffle iron and browns too
rapidly this shows the oil Is too hot.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar while
hot.
I have a butterfly design iron I
have had for about 10 years. I
purchased it in a large 10 cent
store on G street, who demonstrated
it in the basement.
