Reb0rt to the Housewife

I you do is combine the whipped
cream with some well-drained
fruit. I like crushed pineapple.
spread a layer of the mixture on
a chocolate cookie, top with an
other and continue until you have
about three high for a serving,
ending up with the whipped cream
mixture on top. Chill them in
the refrigerator for a few hours
and you've got as nice dessert
as any one could ask for.
To be able to keep cream on
hand is another boon to the busy
housewife. Think how the chill
dren will love it If you have the
makings for ice cream in the house
all the time. Mrs. Roslyn Gage,
director of the Home Service De-
partment for the makers of ster-
ilized cream, told me about this
"quickie" which I think is mar
velous. Use a regular pudding mix
and a bottle of the cream. Make
the pudding according to direc-
tions and let it cool. When it is
thoroughly chilled (but not stiff
fold in two cups of whipped cream.
Blend, put in the refrigerator tray
and let it freeze without stirring.
This makes one pint of ice cream.
It's good for our morale to try
new things occasionally; we're too
inclined to get in a rut with our
eating habits. I think this is par
ticularly true when it comes to
eating fish. Some families serve
only three or four varieties year;
it's not that they are so devoted
to the ones they eat but they
aren't familiar with any others.
The fish offering may not be as
plentiful right now as it Is at some
seasons but still there is enough to
give you considerable choice. With
lenten meals to plan now is a
good time to take a trip to the
fish market and get acquainted
with the finny tribe. On a recent
shopping day I found the follow
ing varieties were in good supply
and the prices very reasonable: ::
Trout, fresh croakers, Carolina
shad, white and yellow perch, Bos-
ton and Spanish mackerel, fillet of
sole and oysters.
The practical way to enjoy shad
is to have it boned and fllleted.
Broiled just right, the first-time
eater will wonder how he ever
got along without it all this time.
And If you've been neglecting to
serve f1llet of sole you have really
been cheating your family.

HERE AND THERE: According
to recent findings of the Food and
Nutrition Board of the National
Research Council the recommend
ed allowance for calcium in our
everyday diet is one gram per
day. Milk. milk products and green
vegetables such as cabbage and
collards are excellent sources.
Among fruits, dried peaches, raj
sins and ripe olives contain appre-
clable amounts of this important
mineral. You can give bread
that has become dry and old
"oven fresh" appeal by leaving II
in its own wrapper and then heat
ing it in slow oven 900 degrees
F. for 5 or 10 minutes. If the
bread is particularly dry sprinkle
it with a little water first and

then heat 1t In the same fashion.
Eggs baked in cream are fine
for a leisurely breakfast. Pour
a cup Of light cream into q shall
low baking dish, break in 4 or 8
eggs, sprinkle them with salt, pep
per, and y cup buttered bread
crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven
until the eggs are firm, or for
about 10 minutes. ). When cloth
ing shrinks in cleaning, the most
hopeful first aid Is to apply tension
to the wet or damp material while
pressing 1t, say textile physicists
of the United States Department
of Agriculture's Bureau Of Human
Nutrition and Home Economies.
With gentle force, the pressing
iron can easily stretch O rayon
garment back to original size. A
cotton or wool fabric may be less
and the shrunken gar
ment may return only partly to
normal. 1t is hard to predict what
rayons will do in cleaning, they
say. The same fabric that ShrinkS
in one cleaning may stretch in
another. If rayon fabrics are go
ing to shrink or stretch, wet clean
ing or laundering may affect them
equally. Dry cleaning affected
these fabrics the least-none of
the rayons studied stretched or
shrank very much when dry
cleaned. A delicious luncheon
dish may be made from canned
shrimp, whole-grain corn and
canned tomatoes which have been
seasoned and thickened. A
bowl of hot soup is food Of
warmth and comfort in snappy
weather. Try combining various
condensed soups to take the edge
off those husky appetites. We sug-
gest condensed chicken noodle
with condensed vegetable soup as
your first experiment. Once you
start you'll have fun creating
other soup treats for your family.

BAKED BEAN MEAL.
(Fronl Mrs. H. K, Upper
Moruju

"
For j. M. H, Washington: The
detergent that comes in a yellow
box with blue letters, and rhymes
with bell is wonderful for the bath.
Softens the water nicely and has
the advantage of doing away with
the ring made in the tub by the
hard water. Children enjoy the
bubbles so much, and 1t is more
economical than prepared bubble
bath mixtures.
A suggestion for a quick and
delicious baked bean meal. Maybe
a good Bostonian would shudder
but it never fails to bring compli-
mentary remarks when served at
my table. Two cans pork and
beans, "a cup brown sugar, "a cup
catsup, medium size diced onion,
few strips of bacon, also diced.
Mix them all and put in creased
baking dish and in the oven for
an hour. Canned meats may be
used instead of bacon, after cut
ting into small bits.

QUERIES ON BRACES?
(Fron1 M. L., Falls Church,
AS an ex-Washingtonian now
located in the Carolinas, really
miss The Star features, especially
RICH. This excellent column has
been of such great help to so
many people that am calling on
it's readers for a little information
they might be able to supply.
MY situation is this: My IA
year-old son was one of the polio
victims during last summers
epidemic. Now, after some six
months in the hospital. he can
come home in another few weeks.
However, the doctor says he will
have to have braces on his legs in
order to walk.
I haven't had a chance to talk
this over with the doctor yet (be-
cause I've been in Washington
with my sick mother since the an
nouncement of Tommy's being
able to come home), SO I thought
that maybe some of the RICH
readers could supply me with a
little information.
For instance, are there different
kinds of braces? Do they have to
be made to order and fitted. or do
they come in sizes? Will they
have to be worn constantly or can
it be a part-time proposition?
What part of the leg does it cover
and can the knees be bent? Are
crutches either advisable or neces-
sary with braces? I imagine these
braces are heavy, but is wearing
them a painful task? How long
does one usually require these?
My reasons for asking all these
questions is that I won't have
much of an opportunity to obtain
all the necessary information from
Tommy's doctor before going
home day" and I'd like to be pre-
pared beforehand so that I won't
sound too ignorant in my future
dealings on the subject.
Therefore. I'd appreciate any
comments you loyal readers may
have to offer. It's really been
wonderful the past two weeks
reading this column again. and
when I go back home I'm most
certainly going to see that The
Star and it's RICH follow me.

'ACWA Making Progress
In Department Store Drive

New York (LPA)-The Amalga

last week in its campaign to or
ganize New York department store
workers.
The big clothing workers union,
which was recently awarded jur-
isdiction in the distribution trades

stores.
President Jacob Potofsky last
week informed the heads of Bon

Hyman Bookbinder, ACWA as

ACWA has asked the NLRB to

Union Shop In
Coal Pact Void
NLRB Man Holds

Wa hington (LPA)-United
Mine Workers officials were not
surprised last week when an NLRB
official ruled the union shop clause
of their contract with the steel in
dustry's Captive mines" invalid
under the ft-Hartley law.
Altho not ilIegalizing the union
shop, Taft Hartley denies it to
unions not submitting to an NLRB
union shop authorization poll.
These polls, in turn, are denied to
unions which have not filed fin
ancial statements with the Labor
Dept, and non-Communist affi-
davits with the NLRB. This Pres
ident John l.. Lewis and other non
Communist UNIV officials have re-
fused to do, since they believe Taft
Hartley to be unconstitutional.
While the UNIV is, along with
other unions, concentrating its anti
Taft Hartley drive on Congress, it
will appeal trial examiner William
Ringers ruling to the fve-man
NLRB.
When 1948 bituminous contracts
were under discussion the steel
corporations unlike most mine op-
orators, yielded slowly to the
UMW's demand for the continuance
of union security. Finally the steel
industry accepted the union shop
clause, if it were upheld in the
court of last resort"
The UNIV will, therefore, con-
tinue to insist upon full enforce
ment of the contract, regardless of
what the NLRB finally decides,
until Taft Hartley is repealed, or
the highest courts uphold Ringers
order that it abandon this part of
the agreement.

commerce and craftsmanship since
the middle ages, the annual con-
vention of the Netherlands FEEDER
alton Of Trade Unions, heard a
message of thanks last week from
w. Averill Hartman, chief US

Europe.
Harriman's greetings were sent
to the Dutch workers thru Fedora
tion Chairman Evert Kupers, who
is also leading figure in the Trade
Union Advisory Committee for the
European Recovery Program, of
which both the AFL and CIO are
members.
The US government spokesman
lauded Kupers for his effective
leadership in furthering the cause
of unity in Europe upon a firm
foundation Of personal freedom and
truly democratic self-government."
He thanked, thru the Federation,
"the working men and women of
the Netherlands for their contri-
button toward the progress Of the
Marshall plan"
"As producers" Hartman said,
"the workers of the Netherlands
have rendered a real service in
bringing about increases in produc-
ton vitally needed for reconstruc-
ton. The ERP is an instrument of
cooperation thru which the nations
of Europe, on their initiative, thru
their own efforts, and with Amer
lean aid, can defeat privation and
misery of the wars aftermath. 1t is
a means whereby these nations can
advance together toward better
life and a peaceful world"
