REAL CORN BREAD

fFTOm Mrs. II. b. BeLfleSGGJ
I am so glad to share this recipe
for real corn bread with Mrs. M.
w. A. of Falls Church. It's minus
sugar and white flour and all other
extraneous matter, and my hus-
band. a Southerner, says the pro-
duct is absolutely the real thing.
Two cups corn meal. we prefer
fresh ground yellow meal; l tea
spoon baking soda, l teaspoon
salt. I use a heaping teaspoon.
In another bowl combine: Two
cups buttermilk, teven better,) u
cup sweet milk, 112 cups butter
milk. l egg. lightly beaten, "a
cup melted shortening, / use lard.
Add to dry mixture: Beat until
smooth. Pour into shallow pan.
12x8. bake in 500 degrees oven
$3.50 minutes.

them to be sure, but as Nation
we dot makes price rise like
this inevitable, unless production
expands too.
So far production has expanded
very fast, but not as fast as our
personal demands, plus demand
for inventories.
The year 1850 saw new peaks
of production. For many things
like automobiles and electrical
equipment and even textiles, we
produced much more than in s,ny
other year in our history. SO
there can be cut-backS in steel, in
aluminium. in copper and in other
materials needed for mobilization
and still have enough to produce
larger quantities of many goods
than we made in 1949, if not in
1850. Until 1850 came along. l949
was considered an extraordinary
production year. too. Except for
a few things, supplies win really
be quite ample in comparison with
earlier years-so stop, look and
think before you buy. In the
longer run the real upward pres
sure on prices and on goods comes
from mobilization and the need
fQr war material, and money to
buy it. That's real. 1t has to be
financed. Taxes must be increased
to do so and that's certain to cut
into our spending power as indi-
viduals. Installment debts can be
a hard burden to bear. If they
pile up too high. It's always wise,
too. to save money for the emer-
gencies that inevitably hit some
OF us some of the time.

published in The Star and your
terry cloth caps for sleeping. Some
years ago a doctor told my sister
who had sinus trouble that she
should sleep in a soft flannel night
cap. AS it was impossible to buy
such a cap, We made one that

EGG WHITES
OLD NYLONS

To r. D. p, Washington, who
would like uses for wide-mouthed
peanut butter jars. I can never
acquire enough. I use them for
jam and marmalade. Use paraffin
as your sealer and the regular jar
lids will keep out dust. etc. My
husband grabs every jar he can
lay his hands on to store nails,
ETC.. in for his tool chest. The
wide mouths are especially suit
able for his purpose.
To Mrs. r. L. T., Washington,
who would like uses for leftover
egg whites and sour milk. Store
the egg whites in a tightly covered
jar in the refrigerator and they
will keep for a long time. When
you have enough try an angel food
cake. How about meringue for
pies and puddings? As for sour
milk, have you tried it in pancakes
and cornbread? And to H. M. of
Washington. who wants a use for
Iold nylons. I plead with my
friends to save all their nylons
for me. They are wonderful for
stufflng childrens toys, a hint
from RICH. They dry quickly
when the toy is washed and have
an especially nice "squashy" feel.

DISCUSSING CEDAR CHEST.
DOESKIN GLOVES.
From Mrs. E. W.. Washington.

From Mrs. E. w.. Washington
To Mrs. o. G., Hyattsville:
have a cedar chest that bought
some years ago before ! married
and before / had furniture. so
when we furnished our bedroom
the chest was out of place. I
bought some pretty everglaze
.cllintz and made a cover for the
chest. The cover is straight where
lit hangs down in the back, but is
gathered around the front. Cording
was used to outline the top Of the
chest to give it a finishing touch.
| also covered a bedroom chair in
material to match the cover on the
chest and the room looks very nice.
I threw out the paper before I
cut out the article from RICH, so
/ don't know the persons initials
that requested this help. 1t is
very easy to wash your doeskin
gloves. but it takes time, so do it
on a day that you will be at home
most of the day. Wash the gloves,
of your hands, in a suds OF the
soap snow that the first letter is
and the last is Y, the soap that is
kind to a baby's skin. Hope you
know the kind I mean, because it
lis important.
A sales lady in the glove de-
partment store at Eleventh and F
streets gave me these directions.
Rinse the gloves thoroughly and
in the last rinse water, use enough
of the snow to make froth. Put
the gloves on a towel to dry.
When they have dried for an
hour or so, work them in your
hands and go back to them about
every hour and rub them in your
hands They will take almost
all day to dry. The secret of
making them white and pliable is
rubbing them. I have had a
pair of white doeskin gloves for
three years and wash them by
this method and they look like
new.

"The Battle Is Not Yet Won"

The San Francisco Labor Council has issued a
pamphlet describing its 35mm slide film, Men On The
job" illustrating the tolerance and brotherhood in the
San Francisco labor movement.
The film is dedicated to Samuel Gompers, founder
and first president of The AFL, who said, "The earth was
intended for all mankind and not for a few. We must
fight for the ideal which is America-equality of opport-
unity for all"
President Jack GoIdberger and Secretary George
W. Johns Of the San francisco Council said in an explana-
tory letter:
"lIo1 On the job is the San Francisco Labor
Councils effort 10 do something constructive for the cause
of better huLlal relations by telling the story of tolerance
in employment as it is found in the city of San Francisco,
and particularly within the ranks of labor.
SIN making the film, the council found that labor's
record of tolerance was good in many respects and that
ALL trade uuloas.s were displaying a fine spirit of
brotherhood,
"Howevsr, ID ohe words of the film, the battle is
not yet won Le1o-a us lies a long job of education for
a greater understanding and tolerance not only within
the labor movement but in every phase of the life of our
community
The officers pledge the council, 1000 strong, to-
ward fulfiIlmelt Of the Gompers' ideal that the earth is
for all mankind, not for a few.
Some OF DaytOn's labor unions and industries, it
seems to us, could learn a very basic and fundamental
lesson from these courageous trade unionists in far away
San Francisco.

In popular language, this dis
sertation on protocol is described
as the question Of who should have
been seated where at the dinner.
Trygve Lie, secretary general of
United Nations, complained that
DR.. Bunche and Mrs. Bunche sat
closer to the French leader than
did he and his wife. He said that
other UN diplomats also were
upset" by the numerous errors
in protocol observed at this din
ner.
lin the art Of protocol, every
diplomat and official representa-
tive of any government sits closer
to the honored guest on the basis
of rank. Therefore, an ambassa-
dor of one country would sit clos
er to a dignitary than would a
mere minister of even a larger
nation.)
At this particular dinner, DR..
Bunche, who works under Lie in
the UN, sat closer to President
Auriol than did Lie, the UN's
biggest man.
Even Mrs. Lie suffered an in
suit in the seating arrangement.
She had to sit farther from the
center of the table reserved for
wives than Mrs. Bunche sat. This
apparently was too much for Mr..
Lie.
He made what he called a
friendly and cooperative" COM

in charge of seating arrangements
at the dinner. 1t seems that during
this conversation, Whalen mention
ed something about racial prejud-
ice being the basis of Lies COM
plant.
AT THIS POINT, LIE is said
to have denied the accusation and
stalked away. Later a spokesman
for the UN secretary general had
this to say:
"Mrs. Lie asked Grover Whalen
to please follow the diplomatic
protocol of Washington in seating
UN officials. Lie said he had re-
ceived sereval complaints on seat
ing arrangements. He said he
didn't care where UN officials
were seated, but he declared they
should be seated according to in
ternal protocol of the UN."
The dinner was held in the ball
room of the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel as a testimonial dinner to
President Auriol by Mayor Vim
cent Impellitteri of New York.

The baby's room and everything
in it's should always be clean.
Papared or panied, walls that can
be washed, and window curtains
that are thin and easily laundered,
are desirable. A bare floor or floor
covered with linoleum is easier to
keep clean than a carpeted one:
Small washable rugs may be used
to add warmeth and brightness to
the room.
