Spice Tips
By Violet Faulkner

Did you know that in the spice
trade allspice is known as pimento
mot pimiento. the red pepper) be-
cause it comes from the tree of
that name? It actually is the nick
name of the only major tropical
spice grown exclusively in the
Western hemisphere. Many people
have the idea because of it's name
that allspice is a blend or mixture
of several spices. This, however.
is not the case. It's spice in its
own right but the flavor is remi-
niscent of a blend of nutmeg, Gin
namon and cloves.
Allspice was discovered in the
New World by early explorers but
ignored for almost three centuries
while they went off in search of
gold. When it was first introduced
in Europe. it was known as Sweet
Scented Jamaica Pepper" 1t is
not a member of the pepper family
even though the whole allspice
does resemble the peppercorn. AS
for the Jamaica part of the name,
the bulk of the worlds allspice
still comes from Jamaica, with
Mexico and Guatemala contribu-
ting significant amounts. Attempts
have been made to grow allSpice
in the East Indies but without sue
cess. so it looks probable this fra
grant berry will remain an all
American product. At one time,
however. a current fashion almost
ruined the industry. Back in the
days when the en-about-town
wore spats and sported canes. the
wood of the Pimento was discov-
cred to be especially good for canes
and umbrella sticks. Luckily the
fad died an early death before all
the trees were used for this pur-
pose and destroyed.
Perhaps you're familiar with this
spice only during the canning season
when you use it for making pickles
but it has dozens of other uses as
you'll see. Some cooks wouldn' t
think of making a pot roast with
out using whole allspice; it's good
in gravies, soups, stews and boiling
fish. too. Ground, it's a great fla
vor favorite in baked goods such as
cookies. cakes and pies. Fruit sal
ads taste better if sprinkled light
ly with some ground allspice. Try
it in your tomato sauces. And the

usually pay a representative 20

necessary to have one that could

Fluffy Rice
If YOU have trouble cooking rice
SO that 1t Is, separate in grains,
light and fluffy, here's my recon-
mendation:
The secret is to use plenty Of
water-about 2 quarts of water to
l cup of rice. The water should
be boiling hard. Wash and pick
over the rice. and then feed it,
few grains at a time into the
water. so boiling does not stop.
CT you will grease the edge of the
kettle for about 8 or 4 inches down
inside it won't boil overD Let the
rice boil until tender. but not
mushy-try grain with your fin
gernail. Then pour it into q
strainer and wash well by pouring
cold water over it. Then reheat
the rice by placing it in a slow
oven with a cloth over the top,
or set the strainer with the rice
in 1t over the bottom of a double
broiler-don't let the water touch
the rice. Let the water boil gently
to steam the rice until fluffy.

Negro Dwelling Area
In St. Louis
Expanding

ST. LOUIS - amp - Continu-
ing spread of the chief dwelling Sec
ton of the Negro population, the
central area, has been observed by
the research bureau of the Social
Planning council.
Edward Old, director of the re-
search bureau said that emphasis
should be placed on the density Of
the Negro population of the city,
which is the test of overcrowding.
The density, he states is about two
and a half times that of the White
population.
The director continued by saying
that expansion is expected if over
crowded conditions are to be elimi-
mated.
Expansion into new areas by Ne.
groes may be seen in many cities in
the United States where overcrowd.
ed conditions caused by limited
ghettos are in existence.

Reading AS Aid To
Grammar

WASHINGTON - (ANP) - In an
article in the fall issue of the Jour
nal of Negro Education, Oakley c.
Johnson of billiard university points
out that most of the students who
enter our Negro colleges are less
than well prepared in English.
Mr.. Johnson states that this lack
is apparent in vocabulary, literary
background, and writing ability,
and shows itself in all phases of the
students work.
Johnson feels that more than me-
chanics should be refined; he says
these should really be absorbed I'M
consciously in the act of educa'
tional maturity.
Continuing, the educator said that
his idea is that reading more will
improve high school pupils langu-
age facility; and guided reading will
improve literary background.
Johnson suggested that it is up
to the teachers and the parents to
help persuade and guide the pupil
in an extensive reading program
during high school.
The author himself conducted a
small controlled study which bore
out his ideas.

Opening Of D. c.
Catholic Schools To
Negroes A "Rumor"

WASHINGTON (ANP) - A
statement to the effect that Catho-
lie schools in the Washington arcn-
diocese has been told to open their
doors to Negroes was discredlted
and labelled a "rumor" here last
week by the Interracial Council of
Washington. Not only that, the
council also discounted a statement
that Catholic flying trio" was
touring the country working for the
betterment of racial relations.
The two statements were made
recently by the Rev. FIR. Joseph f.
Cantillon, assistant dean, st. Peters
college, Jersey City, during an ad-
dress before an interracial forum
here. The minister, who said he was
speaking as a member of flying
trio" touring the country in a pri-
vate plane to lecture against dis
elimination, said the archbishop OF
the washington diocese had called
in certain people" and the segra-
ton matter was thrashed out.
He opened his statement by say
ing authorities at one of the schools
had said qualified Negroes had
never applied for admission. Fellow
members of the flying trio group
are Archibald F.. Glover, Negro civ
il engineer, New York city depart
ment of public services; and Julian
Reiss, White businessman of Lake
Placid, N. Y. The Reiss plane is the
one being used on the tour.

committee was "more convinced
than ever Of the vital Importance
of the former Italian possessions
in North Africa and to the de-
tense of the Sahara"
However, Foreign Minister Ro-

the Republic that France had not
lost sight o f it's interests in ac-
cepting the UN resolution. He
said nothing would be done in
Libya without the consent of the
local population.
