FINGER PAINTS?
CORN PPEAD


From Mrs. E. S. S.. ArlingtonJ
My 5-year-old son has be-
come very interested in finger
paints. I think some one sent in
a recipe for making them at home
that was printed in RICH last year.
I surely would appreciate it if
they would send it in again or
any information on the subject
any one has.
Corn bread is the quickest
easiest hot bread I fix and my
husbands favorite. I bake mine in
an iron skillet. Put tablespoons
of shortening in skillet (bacon fat
or ham fat gives a good f1avor)
and put in oven till quite hot.
While it is heating, mix together
i cup corn meal, teaspoon salt,
p teaspoons baking powder, 2 eggs
and l cup sweet milk. Mix in eggs
and milk just as you take skillet
from oven and then mix in part
fof the hot shortening. Leave fat
enough in skillet to keep bread
from sticking. Bake in $50 degree
oven until brown, around Is min
utes. In the summer I even bake
this on top of the stove to avoid
heating up the kitchen with the
hot oven.
To bake on top of stove, cover
skillet until bread has risen and
comes away from sides of pan.
Turn out on plate and slide back
into skillet to brown top side. UNI
covered. Use low heat to bake
without burning. =,
Being from Alabama, we like
corn bread with our vegetables. A
popular tearoom in Atlanta, Ga,
serves creamed chicken over corn
bread and it's very good.
Thanks to Mrs. L. C. w., Be-
thesda, for sending RICH her
grandmother cookie recipe. They
are wonderful. I try to keep some
dough in refrigerator all the time
for, as she said, Mice to have on
hand"

CHICORY.
from Mr. M. A. H., White
Plains. N. "

For Mrs. w. P. S.. Falls Church,
who recently inquired about chic
ory, this is the ground dried root
of an attractive many petalled
daisy-like blue Towering plant,
easily grown, and closely related
to endive. The powder is added to
coffee to give additional body,
flavor, aroma, and a somewhat
darker color. A very small, al
most a minute, quantity is used,
you determining the amount you
prefer as you experiment with it.
A comparatively small 1a-pound
package lasts us 1--WE make four
cups each time) close to year.
This package in the New York
area sells for 13c. It is produced
also in tablet or pill form, 40 of
them in the 3-ounce box. The
makers recommend u tablet for
8 cups, a whole one for -5-6 cups.
The tablets are put out also in
rolls.
The principal (perhaps the only
U. S. maker is Heinrich Franck
Sons, Inc, with their main plant
at Flushing. N. Y, another is at
Port Huron, Mich. Their small
booklet, Kitchen Tested Rec
ipes," may be had from Flush
ing for the asking. This tells of
ways of adding to the taste, fla
vor, or body of coups, sauces.
breads, cookies, cakes. ice creams,
ETC.. by adding chicory. In France
the leaves of this roadside weed
are gathered, blanched. and used
in salads.
Hope this will prove useful to
Mrs. w. P. S. and others.
RE-CANING?
From Mrs. j. M. H., Arlington. }
would like to have some in
formation about re-caning a chair.
I have an antique chair, which is
badly in need of a rewoven seat,
and I would appreciate information
as to where I could take it to-
have the recaning done.
Would appreciate hearing if
there is a place near Arlington, as
I heard that some one in the vi
cinity of Cherrydale did that sort
of work.

VACATION IDEAS?

From Mrs. H. N. H., Arlington.J
I have been watching in vain
for replies to a request by another
reader for suggestions as to places
near Washington where family
with small children might spend
a summer vacation. We, too,
would appreciate any suggestions
as to a place within day or two's
driving distance of Washington,
where prices are reasonable, and
where there would be a safe place
for a very active 5-year-old boy
to play. The idea Of renting a
cottage near a hotel or lodge. so
that I could prepare some meals
and we could "eat out" part of
the time, appeals to me. Any sug-
gestions will be most welcome. ]
can be reached through RICH.
POEM WANTED?
From Mrs. L. v. H., Alexandria. }
Many years ago, I knew a poem
that went something like this
"And they listened, he is singing
Jesus, Lover of my soul, and the
wind brought back the echo" If
remember correctly it was written
about ship sinking.
Can any one give me more infor-
nation?

TARLY IN THE last war, it became apparent
IL that detailed information concerning the
beaches where our amphibous assaults would be
made was of the utmost Importance If our landings
were to succeed Maps and charts of European
waters were fairly up-to-date. This however,
not the case in the Pacific, with its many island
stepping stones on the road to Tokyo Since most
of these islands under japanese mandate,
they were closed to inspection by photographic
groups and charts of these were, for the most
part, obsolete. Proof of this was evidenced by the
extremely high rate of casualties suffered by the
Marines during the landings at TaraWa.
1t from this costly experience that the
first "frogmen" came into existence. group of
swimmers would precede the landing force and
conduct reconnaissance of the waters and beach
head area to determine the possibilities of
forces being able to effect assault landing.
This was the prime mission of the frogmen. In
many cases, while beach itself might be ideally
suited for landings, small effort on the part of
the enemy could easily render it inaccessible to
landing craft The task of removing natural
man-made obstacles from the assault areas by
means Of demolition charges added to
their mission and the intrepid swimmers became
integral part of an amphibious operation At
Two Jima and Normandy, frogmen casualties
exceeded so per cent, but they failed to
accomplish their mission.
Their method of operation appears simple in
execution, but success depends on Split-SecOnd
timing and perfect coordination. The froggers
are usually brought to their objective on board
high-speed Navy transports, which become their
base of operations while they perform the danger
GUS job of literally working under the nose of the
enemy. Small landing craft shuttle them to the
point offshore from which they take to the water.
Clad in trunks wearing swim fms on their
feet and face plates the upper portion of their
faces for better vision below the surface they make
their way to the shallow water taking soundings
and often securing samples of the ocean floor for
future study, Demolition charges placed on
obstacles which might hinder the landings and the
fuses are set. Then the return to the boat
lane, where they retrieved by the swift moving
craft by means of snare
Operations In cold weather require the men
to don one-piece rubber suits Of greenish hue
for protection against exposure. 1t from the
appearance of these suits, which all but a
small portion of the swimmers face, that the nick
name "frogmen" originated. The suits enable the
men to stay In water of freezing temperatures
which would cause death in few minutes to any
unprotected swimmer
Daily swims in all kinds of weather are part Of
the tough training and conditioning program which
also includes classroom lectures on technques and
the latest developments In demolitons. All the
frogmen volunteers

No one understands hard work better than a nurse. Is she tired Of
her job because she's tired on the job? Not today, according to Bernice
Fash. physical educator at The University Of Mnds-Cook County
School of Nursing.
This school, located at 1900 West Polk Street, in the heart Of
Chicagos great medical center, has pioneered in many fields. It was
here in 1885 that the initial methods were put into practice to cor.
relate physical education with the nursing arts. When Miss Fash
inaugprated her program Of physical education she was surprised to
out. She determined to find out why.
The theory that miles covered on duty had any bearing on the
matter was at once ruled out by pedomehr readings which revealed
that the students averaged only ~ miles a day. Then Miss Fash went
to work in the wards. She observed that while procedure in caring for
patients was perfected from the nursing. standpoint, it was often
wrong for the we'll being Of their own bodies.
From this study developed the basic training in body mechanics.
Results in reducing fatigue have been amazing. These methods are
used today in nursing schools throughout the country where Miss
EFashs textbooks are in use.
The University of Ilinos-Cook County School of Nursing offers a
three year course for a diploma in nursing and a course which leads
to a bachelor of science degree from the university and a diploma
from the school Glasses convene in March and September. Young
fWomen-and men-who are preparing for their careers in this in
tsttuton, and finding plenty of recreation also in the life of the
medical center, may well use as their slogan "you can work hard and
take it easy too.
