Report to the Housewife
By Violet FouIkner
Food Editor.

'Broilers and fryers are listed as
the best meat values for the week.
Luckily they are favorites with
the whole family, regardless Of
how you cook them.
But if you like chicken with a
crisp golden coating here's a nice,
easy way of doing it: Dip the
chicken in a simple batter made
with pancake ready-mix. You
can use the same ready-mix for
breading, too, If you don't want
to go to the trouble of deep fat
frying. There's something about
the special combination of flours
used in some of the pancake
mixes that seems to result in less
fat soaking during the frying.
Either way. your family will be
adding new superlatives to de-
scribe one of their favorite foods.
Word comes from the Produc-
Ition and Marketing Administra-
Ition, United States Department of
Agriculture, concerning the fu-
ture supplies of sugar for can
ming. They say there is plenty
Iof sugar being produced in Cuba,
Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the
Philippines to meet all the antici-
Ipated needs Of this country. How
ever, it takes time to import, re-
fine and distribute the huge guam
titles needed. The international
situation has also reduced the
supply of ocean shipping space
available. for handling sugar, and
railroads are meeting increasing
strain partly because of the do
mestic defense program. Rail
problems will undoubtedly become
more acute later in the summer
and fall when the grain crops are
being shipped to market. All this
means if you plan to do ex-
tensive home canning and freezing
later in the season anticipate
your sugar needs now. Don't wait
until the last possible minute to
shop for it. But there is no ex-
cuse for boarding extra sugar for
general use!
The prediction is for more and
better Strawberries this week end.
I found the berries were not too
plentiful last week and the quality
considerably below par. Cold
weather and too much rain has
been responsible for this condition.
Along with strawberries, you'll find
the fruit stands offer bananas,
grapefruit, oranges, pineapples
and apples. In some of the fan
Icier markets you'll run across can
taloupeS and grapes prices are
fancy. too.
Onions are in transitional pc
riod. with the first new-crop on
ions arriving from Texas. Aspara-
gus is more plentiful and cheaper
each week; by the middle or end
of next week it's expected this
spring treat will be a "best buy"
Kale, spinach and turnip salad are
all good values; these greens come
from nearby Norfolk. Carrots,
cabbage and potatoes are other
items to consider when you do
your weekend shopping.
While we're on the subject of
fresh produce, do you know that

It is so easy to let overweight
slip UP on you. This is especially
true if you are extremely busy or
extremely bored or idle.
Psychologists have discovered
that at least some obesity is the
result of comforting oneself with
food. When a woman has given
up as a woman or an individual,
when she feels that she cannot
hold love, or gain admiration or
compete in the world about her,
she sometimes turns to food for
comfort.
However, in the great majority
of cases, I think it is very simply
a question of being busy with liv-
ing, with growing family or a
job, with increasing. years and a
slowing glandular system. A
woman gains five pounds and

figures were reported in the mar

USDA. This fresh produce came
from 38 States and such ouJ-of-

In terms of volume, potatoes led

cabbage, apples. oranges, water

Up in Boston they unloaded
more than three times as much
produce as we received here in
Washington. Their list ran to "a

ing not on the amount con-
sumed but the varieties of produce
used.

Loeb Lynn Landmark
Burns; Family Of
Five Narrowly Escapes
Mr.. and Mrs. Mayo Sisler Lose
All Their Clothing and
Household Belongings

An old landmark of Loeb Lynn
Heights was destroyed by fire early
Sunday morning and a family of five
narrowly escaped with their lives.
A blaze of undetermined origin at
80 a. m. totally destroyed the sum
mer home of Mrs. Charles J. Bolgi-
ano, known many years ago as the
Crane property. Occupying the home
at the time were Mr.. and Mrs. Mayo
Siser and their three children, all
under five years of age. They lost
all their household belongings and
clothing and sum of money which
they had in the house. Some of the
furniture had been purchased recently.
Mrs. Sisler had returned about three
weeks ago from visiting her family
in Ireland.
The Oakland fire department was
called, but firemen had difficulty in
getting any Of the trucks to start.
One of the two housed in the fire
house responded after few minutes
and the other two followed later, in
Guiding the new truck that was housed
in the Reckard and Glotfelty garage.
The home was built for summer
use, with no pla stering, and the
flames gained rapid Roadway. Flames
were coming through the roof when
the firemen arrived. A barn in rear
of the dwelling also was destroyed.
When the occupants discovered their
home was on fire, Mrs. Sisler took
Shirley, aged ,, down the back steps,
but the heat and smoke drove her
back to the second floor. There she
found Mr. Sisler who had Michael, 3,
and thinking Gary, 412 with them,
they went down the front stairway.
They had difficulty in getting the
front door to open, and by this time
Mr.. Sisler had gone back for the cid
est child. He stumbled over him in
the bathroom and brought him down
stairs and out into the yard. They
drove to nearby home where Mr.
Sisler telephoned the fire department
He returned to the property and with
in few moments everything in the
house was ablaze.
The family is now residing at the
home of his brother and sister-in- law
Mr.. and Mrs. Melvin Sisler, in Loeb
Lynn, but plan to move to the farm
of f. O. Liller in Pleasant Valley very
soon.
Oakland firemen announced this
week they were attempting to secure
contributions of furniture, household
items and clothing, and were asking

Lack Of motion must be mentioned.
but here great deal depends upon the

Some people feel that much activity.
with much sweating, is the best cooling

ITO be immobile, in some cases,
means less heat worked up. The

People talk about keeping cool, but
what they really mean is to keep dry.
"It is the moisture and the oil which
make a fellow hot.

intelligence of the body.
This intelligence is not understood
as it ought to be-. 1t is the power which
keeps the body heat at precisely the
same point winter and summer, unless
one has a fever.
This business of keeping cool has a

Some people can fool themselves into
believing they are cool, and so much
