dFLECTlONS on the
Christmas season are
many and varied. but
standing high with
all Of them is the
sharing Of things with others.
Il has always been so. but the
organizations were so generous
this season with their help in
taking care Of those who other
wise would have had no Christ
mas. The work Of distribution
could not have been in better
hands than those Of Mrs. Pau
line Webb. school nurse, who
knew the children, the homes
from which they came and the
needs Of them and their loved
ones. Nine groups gave food,
clothing and toys 70 thirty
nine families. The gifts were
in abundance, furnishing food
for the physical needs. clothing
for their comfort and toys that
must have gladdened the hearts
Of those to whom they were
given. Many people Of Milford
helped with these gifts and it
will make them feel they have
assisted in making Christmas
a day Of joy for those in town
and in the surrounding rural
sections. This is what shar-
ing means in the very best way.
The Lions Club dance Tues
day evening was generally en-
ioyed. It was well attended
too. but not too crowded, max
ing the dancing comfortable
and nice. Red and green was
the color scheme and the or
chestra platform was moved
to the center and at the side
SO that it could be heard from
all parts Of the large Armory,
where the dance was held.
Groups Of friends got together
for parties before. at intermis-
sion, and afterwards. Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Spencer Willis and Mr..
and Mrs. C. M. Welch were
among those who entertained.
This was the big event Of the

By the Chef

To follow up the discussion OF
curries last week, let's look into
some of the traditional ones from
various parts of the Far East
whence all good curries come.
Well take Hawaii first, as the
nearest spot on our Cooks Tour"
A true Hawaiian curry should be
accompanied by fresh boiled sea-
weed, balls of ground kukui nuts,
salted peanuts, native onions, a
coarse red Hawaiian salt, dried
squid, salted liver, grated coconut,
the inevitable chutney-usually
mango-and finely chopped crisp
bacon.
To make the curry, crate l
coconut and cook it in 4 cups of
milk about hour. Then fry l
tablespoon of chopped onions in
little butter until they are brown
and add l tablespoon of curry
powder and l teaspoon of ground
ginger. Strain off the milk from
the coconut and pour it over the
above mixture. Then add your
raw chicken, fish or lamb and
cook until well done.
This is pretty mild curry COM
pared to some of the others-not-
ably those of the East Indies,
where the proper accompaniments
include fresh coconut, roasted
coconut, chopped peanuts and al
monds. chopped crisp bacon,

grated hard-cooked eggs, fried
eggplant, tamarind jam. mangoes
more coconut, this time soaked
in vinegar, mango chutney, small
picked onions, brown sugar, dried
fish, salt fish, candied coconut and
candied ginger!
A Batavia curry, featuring pork,
is quite a thing. Cut, in small
pieces, a couple of onions, a seed
ed green pepper, a tomato. a
peeled apple and a Glove of garlic.
Fry all in butter. Sprinkle with
a couple of tablespoons of flour,
stir we'll. and add about 2h
pounds of lean pork, cut in cubes.
Cook minutes, stirring, and then
add l lavish tablespoon of curry
powder and 2 cups of water.
Tie in a bunch of leeks, a
stalk of celery. sprig of parsley,
a little thyme, bay leaf, some
cloves and the rind of / lemon.
Add to the pot, together with l
cup of fresh peas. Season we'll
with salt and pepper and let cook
for As minutes in a slow oven.
Mix together the milk and grated
meat of l medium coconut, add to
pot, cover and let cook Is minutes
more. Remove the herb bouquet,
arrange fluffy steamed rice in a
ring and pour the pork curry
into the center. Sprinkle with
grated ham and serve with all
the trimmings.

AS fine frigate as a book ito
take us lands away" is food. Fas-
cinating as the books on the Lii
brary's shelves are the recipes
exchanged by the Library of Con-
gress Cooking Club.
Last October, the members of
the staff conceived the idea of
getting together for a pot-luck
lunch. with each member con-
tributing his or her favorite dish.
This proved to be such a success
they decided to repeat the idea on
a larger scale and invite guests
to a buffet supper. Since the club
is a cross-section Of all the men,
bers who are interested in food,
the table the other evening re-
sembled the sumptuous steamboat
feasts of the eighties when it was
the tradition that not an inch of
tablecloth should show during a
meal.
1t would be impossible to tell
you about all the delicacies that
were on that table so I'll pick
out just few that caught my eye
Mrs. Anna Waterman, 80 East
Capitol street, who is Czechoslo-
vakian by birth, had brought a
huge bowl of herring in sou1
cream, a stuffed bread roll and a
Igugelhupf cake to the feast. The
cake was made from a very olo
family recipe and when Mrs
Waterman gave it to me I discov-
cred the ingredients were meas
ured in kilograms and liters. She
still uses the original recipe, but
employs the use of a scale tc
obtain the right amounts. The
herring is easier to make and was
such a delicious dish I begged the
recipe for you. She buys the Bis
marck herring In the large glass
jars. takes it out and puts it in
dry white wine for half an hour,
Then she takes it from the wine,
skins it and cuts it in pieces. To
l pint of sour cream she adds 2
teaspoons prepared mustard, 2
tablespoons horseradish, some
grated onion, grated lemond rind
and salt to taste. Blend this with
about 2 tablespoons of the mari
made from the bottle of herring.
Mix all together and pour over
the herring pieces. Return to
original jar and let stand in re-
frigerator for several days before
serving.
Every one was intrigued with
the rice rolls which American-born
Mrs. K. L. Takeshta, 7437 Eighth
street NV, made for the party.
They were called "o-sushi" or
Japanese rice sandwich, and are
comparable to the open-faced
sandwiches we are accustomed to
serve for tea. To make these rice
rolls you will first need a sheet of
seaweed which Mrs.
Takeshta gets from Japan. On
top of the seaWeed goes a layer of
cooked rice which has been sea-
soned with vinegar, sugar and
Evening star., 1950-02-27
Bacon and Pickle
.COnOpes

Appetizers that are unusual and
very, very good.
Sections of crisp, chilled water
melon pickle are cut into cubes
and carefully dried. Then they
are wrapped in a very thin slice of
bacon, long enough to overlap the
cube of pickle, to allow for shrink
age during the cooking process.
Toothpicks are inserted, and the
bacon-wrapped pickle cubes are
put on rack set over a pan and
baked until the bacon is done.
If the toothpicks have become
charred, they should be removed
and fresh ones inserted before
serving. AS a final touch, a tiny
pearl onion is slipped into the top
of each pick above the cube of
pickle in its bacon blanket. These
canapes should be served as hot as
possible.

Food Editor.

salt. The rice filling has a faint
sour taste when you eat it, very
pleasant. Then on top of the rice
goes a layer of bamboo sprouts
and mushrooms favored with soy
sauce, sugar and dried bonito
(native fish,; lengths of dried
gourd Cooked and seasoned) :,
cooked egg, pimiento, cooked
spinach and cooked eel come next.
With the aid of slender bamboo
sticks the whole thing is shaped
into a roll and allowed to set
until firm enough to slice. With
an outer ring of dark seaweed, a
ring of white rice and the multi
colored centers, the o-sushi is as
attractive as it is good.
The famous water twists that
won the recent $4,000 Pillsbury
contest were strictly an American
contribution, as was true of the
baked ham, meat loaf. tomato
aspic, pickles, rolls, cakes and
cookies. Traditional Swedish her
ring salad, stuffed cabbage rolls,
Danish pastry and schinken horn
chen Cham croissants) were more
of the foreign dishes you simply
had to taste as you made your
way around the long table.
Mrs. Mildred Portner, 1920
Forty-second place, Hyattsville,
Md, president of the club, told
me the club meets regularly twice
month, at which time members
exchange recipes, listen to a lee
ture pertaining to a phase of cook
cry, or discuss food habits. With
all this potential talent among
the members, I wouldn't be sur
prised to hear that one day soon
they had an international cook
book ready to roll off the press.
Certainly, if energetic Mrs. Helen
Bullock, author of THE Williams
burg Art of Cookery" and we'll
known for her study of the Lin
coin papers, gets behind the idea
it will be "fait accompli."

Why Grow
Old?
By Josephine Lowmon

When we speak of retirement
we think of men only, or of those
women who have engaged in work
outside the home, yet women in
the home who have children expe-
rience very drastic kind of semi
retirement much earlier than their
husbands.
When a woman has had child
or so and has given so much of
her heart and energy and interest
to them. and the children sud-
denly leave home for a career or
school or marriage, the mother
undergoes a great readjustment.
The average woman has not pre-
pared herself for this, and the
emotional impact is strong.
If I did not know this from per-
sonal experience and observation,
would know it because of the
thousands of letters I have re-
ceived from women who find
themselves at loss at middle life.
I receive many letters which say
things like this, to a greater or
lesser degree: Il am At years
old. My children have all left
home and I feel that life is over.
1t seems to me that I am very
young to have life end! am no
longer needed. What do I do
now?"
This brings up the age old need
to be useful, to be loved, to be
needed, to be depended upon, to
belong! Women make a mistake
not to prepare themselves psyche
logically for this period by sub
consciously letting go of their
children years before they leave
home. This does not mean that
you love them less or would do
less for them. but it brings the
future into lovely focus.
The whole world, the people
about you, have great need of a
warm heart, an active mind and
understanding. All about you lie
opportunities for investment in
life, for service. I know, this
sounds vague, and after all, what
do you do now?
In the first place, get things
lined up correctly. In this situa-
ton I believe it is good to think
thoughts like these: After all,
had a life before I had children
and I liked it. During the time
when my energy was consumed
by my children's needs and inter-
ests I often thought, I wish I had
time to do this or that. Why
then, am acting so dumb now?
I have all I had before I had my
children and now I have the plus
value of my interest in them and
the times when they will need me
Let me find new ways to in
vest my love of life. Let me de-
velop old talents and new inter-
ests. I have not had time for my
old interests or time to find new
ones during these rich hectic
years. Let me be of help to a
larger number of people, those
outside my own little family
circle.
LET me draw closer to my hus-
band. Perhaps I have neglected
him during the years when the
children were young, although ]
never meant to do so. Let me
make myself more attractive for
him as well as for myself"

| A change is taking place at the
Casino Royal which is. in its own
afterdark way. about as startling
as an announcement that Senator
Mccarthy had hired Owen Latti-
more as his administrative as
siStant.
Jack Give" Schafer is leaving
The change takes place tonight
in fact. when the bandstand will
be crowded with musicians led by
one Clinton Hobbs.
Band styles as well as band
leaders will be changed. too, since
the Hobbs band plays a sweet, or
society" type of music which re-
sembles that Of Schafer like a
shaded candle resembles a kleig
light.
Lawrence Tom, the man who
counts the receipts at the Casino
Royal, decided to make the change
because he feels the public is
definitely in the mood to dance
to easy rhythms which won't over
tax their feet-taxes being what
they are these days.
The rest of the entertainment
policy remains static, however,
with three shows nightly. Juggler
Larry Weeks. Ballerina Gerri Gale
and Dancers Jack and Marilyn
Nagel will be along at showtime to
help get the new band era started.
If the name Clinton Hobbs
sounds familiar to you, don't put
it down as just another coinci-
dence. He used to be at the Club
KavakoS.
The mood to revamp things has
also struck the people up at the
Windsor Room. Beginning next
Monday, the room will feature a

three Jones Brothers,, who have
played in and around Washington
with considerable success for some
time, will inaugurate the new
policy.
