The Chef
Says

Did you know that the banana
Is said to share with the apple
the dubious distinction of being
the forbidden fruit of the Garden
Of Eden7 I came upon this bit of
lore when leafing through some
old books, looking for unusual
facts about our familiar edible.
Bananas were so plentiful prior to
the war that 1t took the wartime
scarcity to make us really appre-
ciate them.
At one time the banana tree was
utilized chiefly as shade for the
coffee shrub. and its own fruit po-
tentialities were largely unnoticed.
Now it rivals the apple in popu-
larity, and in certain illnesses has
proved indispensable. With milk,
bananas form a well-known re-
ducing diet. For the most part the
big "yellows are found in our mar
kers but some speciality stores will
carry the luscious red variety, and
occasionally the delicious little
finger" types.
Bananas are always good to, eat
raw-but they also may be utilized
in many cooked dishes with out
standing success. There's banana
cake and banana pie; banana
eclairs and banana fritters, banana
ice cream and banana custard-to
mention just a few of the more
familiar items. But one of my IA
vorite desserts is baked bananas,
done this way:
Set your oven temperature at
about 325 degrees. Butter a shall
low square or rectangular baking
dish well. Peel the bananas
about / dozen-and cut them in
half lengthwise. Pour just enough
water over them to moisten the
bottom of the dish, and then keep
basting them with water to which
you have added 1 tablespoon or so
of lemon juice while they bake.
The lemon juice brings out their
flavor wonderfully. Sprinkle with
u cup of sugar and bake for
hour until they are translucent
and golden. When they are done
pour over them u cup of curacao,
and leave them in the oven with
the heat turned off for about Is
minutes more. Serve hot with or
without cream. I like them with
out, but that's a matter of per-
sona1 preference.
My mother always baked ba-
nanas In this way, and even when
I was child I loved them, though
the curacao was omitted from my
portion!

Raw Potato Pancakes

Raw potato pancakes are in
deed epicurean fare when made
from this old Penn-Dutch recipe:
Peel and crate 8 medium sized
raw potatoes, and add to them the
beaten yolks of 2 eggs. Stir in a
teaspoon of salt. 112 tablespoons
of flour, and u teaspoon of bak-
ing powder. Mix all we'll. and
then fold in the stiff1y beaten egg
whites.
Drop in hot fat by spoonfuls
and cook until golden brown.
Drain on absorbent paper before
serving.

L lie average AlleilCdu HOuSe-
wife probably has less knowledge
of the art of Chinese cookery
than of any other kind of foreign
food. Perhaps it has been the
strange sounding names that has
baf1ed her all these years. Or,
the fact many of the recipes
called for exotic vegetables and
ingredients that were not to be
found in the corner grocery. Now,
thanks to the persistence OF one
American housewife who was de-
termined to know something about
Chinese cooking and couldn't find
a satisfactory book on the sub
ject, we have a collection of Can

American kitchen. New Chinese

Stegner, published by Edelmuth

ate authentic Chinese dishes right
at home. And the best part of
the book is this-the recipes use
only those ingredients you will
find in your neighborhood stores.
Curiously enough, for centuries
the Chinese have practiced GER
tain methods of cookery that our
nutrition authorities are learning
through scientific research, name
ly, that of short cooking periods
in small amounts of water. They
must have known instinctively
they were conserving the valuable
minerals and vitamins so neces-
sary for good nutrition. Chinese
recipes are money-savers, too!

by the Chinese people for teatime

Labor Gets The Blame

Yes Labor again is being blamed for rising prices 1t
because of high wages the press tell though wages have
not risen with anything like the speed of prices Living costs
have shot far ahead wages Yet it's the DID, old story
if wages go up a small fraction business hikes prices very
large fraction and thereby increases its profits and dividends
1t what always happens when there shortage OF goods
or when the public thinks there liable to be a shortage
Today the working people losing ground in the race
with living costs OF the Unions asking for IN
creases they must though they realize that pro-
badly they cannot catch up with the proeers So we have
got to expect be blamed for price increase regard
less of the truth.
While recognizing and accepting this fact, should
also realize that in spite of all American working people
are far better off than the oers in lands where commes
or socialists other bosses and bureaucraS set
the wage levels We will continue to be better off long as
government does not medde If and when socaed stabiza
ton schemes along, substituting form of social
stic compuson for free enterprise will get the worst OF
it again Just did under the War Labor Board and the

Understanding The Connie

1t is difficult for the average American to understand
the werd mental processes of the connie especially those
of the big connie brass in Moscow. The ptful lies the
Russians invent about America and Americans strike us
often as laughabe rather than serious We do not under
stand the extent to which the MaxStan credo has chain
ed the minds of the communists.
Here few samples of Russian connie facts about
America"
First the Americans soft The American govern
men is soft and weak it permits the people to criticize and
does not throw them into prison shoot them Officials
who defeated in elections soft and weak; otherwise
they would put the opposition in jail Americans are highly
supersouS they permit churches to do they please
Americans very weak for they honor the truth and give
time to the science of lying; they uninelgent for
they read Marx but do not accept and believe him Finally
Americans may be pushed around with safety though if
they are aroused they become rude lot Of monopoStc,
capastic imperastc aggressos. Since the high priests
of the connie cult say will not fight they do not regard
as real present military preparedness program
This explains in degree why American Labor can
along with the cOmmes and why country must
always be prepared for a sneak attack from Russia.

by the Municipal Finance Officers Association The study
shows that while municipal libraries make up only about 10
percent of all libraries in the United States they serve hall
the library users of the country.
