It's quick and easy to cook.
Here's how:
(. To Cook Riceland Rice: Put
2 cups Of Riceland Rice, 2 tea
spoons Of salt and 1 cups Of cold
water In . large saucepan and
cover with . tight-ntting lid.
Set over . hot flame until It
boils vigorously. Then reduce the
heat as low ~ possible and SIM

which time the water will be
absorbed, making the rice deli
ciously tender. Remove the lid.
permit the rice to steam dry to
the desired consistency and the
grains will be separate and
fluffy. Always use Riceland Rice
for best results.
It's smart to cook more Rice
land Rice than needed, so you'll
have some left over to put il,
your refrigerator "RiceIand
Rice Bowl" to serve a different
way - every day.

Through HozeI Eyes

| poor guy from somewhere paid 81
cents for one glass OF orange juice
in New York City.
| Mixing with the aIler-theatre
crowds, just walking around and
seeing what there is to see in the
! worlds largest city is great en-
tertainment J. and free. We en-
| joyed eating in different res
taurant every night You can
get better French cooking in New
York than you can in Paris and
Mother Leone's restaurant can't
| be duplicated in Rome
/ We especially enjoyed, too, hav-
ing lunch with our good friend,
North Callahan, who writes the
splendid column, $50 this is New
York" which appears as regular
ly in this paper as space permits.
North and his brother, Bob, who
has just finished the University of
Southern California, took us to
lunch at Town and Country on
Park Avenue. 1t was nice seeing
, North again and meeting Bob.
Another highlight of the trip
was witnessing, behind the scenes,
a television show put on by Doro-
thy Doan, former feature writer
for International News Service.
Dorothy may be remembered
around here as the one who wrote
up your editor when she re-
turned from Europe last summer
her stories appeared frequently
IN the Commercial Appeal. Doro-
thy's sponsor on the program is
Vanity Fair and the day we saw
the show new fall fashions were
featured. It was interesting to
see the beautiful models with pan
cake makeup in marvellous gowns
by Hattie Carnegie, Lilly Dache
and other topflight designers pa
rading before the monstrous
television cameras which look like
something from Mars. Ordinarily
they don't have visitors on the set
so we felt quite honored that CHS
allowed us behind scenes and de-
cided we didn't blame them for
not allowing visitors who ,..1't
be anything but Earned unls-
ance.
l could tell you of many more
amusing incidents-like another
evening on the Starlight roof after
Guy Lombardo's orchestra OPEN
ed for the summer when one of
his serious-faced young musicians
stopped by our table on his way
out and said: 81 gotta hand it to
you, Miss, you've got on the best
looking hat in the whole Joint"
and me in my three year old
broad brim--but they would take
up too much space
After an extended automobile
tour around the city Sunday
morning--seeing the city without
the people--we left for Newark
Airport to find that in some mys-
FERROUS fashion we had only one
ticket for two of us to get home
on. Somewhere along the line
somebody took ticket he wasn't
supposed to take and we ended up
by having to purchase another
ticket back to Atlanta.
Thus ends quite week In New
York.

 Odom and Reynolds, wealthy ball. pen manufacturer, set record of 79 hours, 55 minutes in their con- verted A-27 attack bomber.
 Four months later, Odom smash ed that record. He circled the globe in 73 hours, minutes and Il seconds for a speed mark which still stands. The flight started and ended at Chicago.
 On his first attempt to set a long distance record for light planes, the lanky, balding airman flew 2,40l miles January 13 from Honolulu to Oakland, Calf.
 Flying the same plane he used today, Odom was headed for Teter- boro but was forced to turn back on the West Coast when he ran into storms over the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
 This flight, however, broke the previous record of 2,061 miles set in 1S47 by two Russian flyers.

SCOUT BATTALION
 REQUIREMENTS OF
 ANA TO BE WAIVED

The National Guard Bureau has
 agreed to waive certain eligibility requirements for enlistment in the two proposed Scout Battalions ot the Alaska National Guard in or der fully to utilize the manpower capabilities of the native popula- ton, according to word received at
 Fort Richardson.
 Considered highly important to the formation of the native units, the announcement was made hy
 Maj. Gen. Stanley L. Scott, Com manding U. s. Army, Alaska, who is charged with training and equip ping the units.
 The new maximum age limit for Eskimos and Aleuts on an original enlistment will now be 45 years in-
 stead Of 35, and natives inability
 to read or write will not prevent his
 enlistment and membership in the Guard.
 The plan to establish the two
 Scout Battalions in h e smaller
 towns in the western and north
 ern parts of Alaska, 10th along
 the coasts and in. some of the in- tericr communities up the rivers, all ready has Federal approval. The Army also hopes for the establish ment of two infantry battalions in the larger towns, although enabling legislation by the territorial legisla- ture is a prerequisite of either type unit.
 General ScoUJ mas already pointed out the value the National Guard will have in aiding the defense of the territory. He stated that steps have been taken to equip the Scout
 units immediately upon their or ganization, and that he has asked the Department of the Army to assign unit instructors at once in
 order that planning for training ac- tivities may start soon.
 Preliminary surveys by It. Col.
 J. D. Alexander, Officer in Charge of National Guard Affairs in AL
 aska, have indicated that there is sufficient interested personnel in Alaska to form the Guard units proposed.
