Repetition of School History

DR.. Cornings decision to recommend
construction of two Groom portable" or
demountable school buildings-for the relief
of acute overcrowding in two Northeast
schools-must have been reached with some
reluctance. We have had one unhappy ex-
perience with portable school buildings in
Washington. But If such improvisation to
meet emergencies is necessary, we can at
least benefit from what we learned after
World War I.
Washington's crowded schools in World
War were relieved by construction of some
seventy-five / and 2 room portable"
schools. Built to meet passing emergency,
1t was 25years before the last of them were
torn down. In the meantime, as the fiinnsy
buildings grew older, there were bitter and
justified complaints from parents. The coal
stoves were fire hazards, the wind blew
through cracks in the walls, the floors
sagged The Star filled many pages with
photographs of the dilapidated structures,
and the hardships of their youthful occu-
pants.
The larger and room buildings that
DR.. Corning has in mind are, of course,
greatly improved versions Of the World War
portableS. They are self-contained units,
with their own heating and toilet facilities.
The cost of about SIS, 600 for the larger ones
compares with half million dollars or more
for permanent buildings. More important is
that they can be quickly erected to take care
of overcrowding that otherwise could not be
absorbed by permanent buildings. for years
to come It is always a. period of years
between the planning and final completion
of any permanent school building.
The ''tempos" would represent sensible
solution If they were, indeed, only tempo
rary. The trouble is that they become all
too permanent, as witness the United States
Governments own relics of past wars that
continue to clutter up Washington's finest
park areas.

New Planners

President Eisenhower has appointed to
the National Capital Planning Commission
two men who are well qualified to, assume
their important responsibilities in the plan
ming of q better Washington. It Is disap-
pointing. however, that in filling the only
vacancy at present existing In the commits
sion the President did not see At to grasp
the opportunity Of giving the District OF
Columbia more adequate representation on
the planning body. With the continued
growth Of the city and its environst the
commissions membership has become over
weighted in favor Of national interests.
There have been times when the commission
majority seemed to lack 3 realistic under
standing Of local problems.
Claude W. Owen will bring to the COM
mission, fortunately, a wealth of knowledge
of and experience with District planning
and development matters. And G. McKim
Norton, the New Jersey lawyer and planning
expert, who will take office at once, will
supply the group, also fortunately, with the
dement's of his special familiarity with re-
gional urban and suburban planning opera
tions. Mr.. Norton is no stranger to WASH
ington, having lived here for two years
before World War II while serving as chief
attorney for the National Resources Plan
ming Council. Mr.: Owens appointment
does not become effective until May |, when
the term Of another District member, Hil-#
yard r. Robinson. viii expire.
Mr.. Norton said in an interview that,
as q former resident Of the Capital, he IS
sympathetic with the idea that District
residents should have something to DO"
with the planning Of their city. e IS To be.
hoped that he win keep this thought Ii
mind as he undertakes his new role IN the
planning Of greater National Capital For
the District up to now has had only 4 rela-
lively small voice IA guiding It's orderly
growth and planning its own long-range

next meeting of Vanguard"
CFU Lodge S07 will be held
as usual at 7::30 PM, on
Thursday, June 10, at 539
South Sixth Street. We have
important issues coming up,
so why not attend and give
us the benefit of your ideas
and opinions? The officers
can't do the job alone.
The "Vanguards" dance
held recently was a success
and those of you who haven't
settled for your dance tickets
are asked to take care of this
matter as soon as possible.
How are the picnic ticket
sales coming along? Each
Lodge received only so much
tickets, and they have been
sent out in the belief that you
will all want to attend the
picnic at Pleasant Valley
Park on June 18th.
If you are not going to use
or sell your tickets, please re-
turn them so that they may
be sold elsewhere before the
affair. Remember, advance
tickets are cheaper so take
advantage of the saving. If
you have already disposed of
them let us know so we know
where we stand.
Judging from the number
of people not attending our
meetings it is assumed that
everyone is on vacation. Why
not start off on that summer
vacation with a clear con-
science? Before you 60 pay

a baseball game to take place
at the picnic! The prize for
the winner and the penalty
for the loser hasn't yet been
announced but it'll be a hum

Nest Manager, Helen Heel
movich, by telephone or card,
phone TW 2-2O71, or call Kay
Kosovec, TW 1-O927.
The same holds true for
you mothers. If you want to
play baseball, call Kay and
let her know. Well keep in
touch with you on the chal-
lenge and the other details of
this historic game.
For the present time, keep
the date in mind and sign up

We all heard a most i'm

Preston Bradley on the topic
"The Importance of Working
with Youth" DR.. Bradley's
talk was, to me, the most en-

civil service employees grade
and stamp the meat. The ser
vice is available on a volun-
tary basis to slaughterers
and others, and is self-sup-
porting through fees charged
users.
Beef - Here, briefly, are
descriptions of the kinds of
beef that qualify for the spe-
Gifted u. S. Grade.
USDA Prime: - Beef of
this grade is produced from
young and we'll fed beef-type
cattle. Cuts from this meat
have liberal quantities of fat
interspersed within the lean
(marbling). These character
istics contribute greatly to
the juiciness, tenderness, and
flavor of the meat.
USDA Choice: - Meat Of
this grade is of high quality,
but has less fat then beef of
the Prime grade. Roasts and
steaks from the loin and rib
are tender and juicy. Other
cuts, such as those from the
round or chuck, which are
more suitable for braising and
pot roasting, should be tender
with a well developed flavor.
USDA Good: - Although
cuts of this grade lack the
:iuiciness associated with a
higher degree of fatness, their
relative tenderness and high
proportion of lean to fat make
them the preference of many
shoppers.
USDA Commercial: Beef
+! graded U. S. Commercial is
produced largely from older
animals and usually lacks the
tenderness of the higher
grades. Most cuts require
long, slow cooking with moist
heat to make them tender and
to develop the rich, full beef
flavor characteristic of ma
ture beef.
Some young animals pro-
duce beef of Commercial
grade. Cuts from carcasses of
such animals have a very thin
fat covering and are practi-
cally devoid of marbling.
USDA Utility: - Beef of
this grade is produced mostly
from cattle somewhat ad.
vanced in age, and is usually
lacking in natural tenderness
and juiciness. Providing very
little fat, cuts of this grade
require long, slow sooking by
moist heat. They may be useo
for pot roasting, stewing
boiling, or groundmeat dishes

washington, ID. Z. - Suit
the cooking method to the
cut and quality: that's a
time-honored - rule in the
handling of meat that compe-
tent cooks accept without
question. How they can ap-
ply the rule to add to their
successes in the kitchen, and
to save money at the same
time, is a matter discussed all
over the country by USDA's
inf o r M a t i o n specialist on
meats, Miss Catherine A.
Nawn.
In her discussions with the
housewife - in group meet
ings and over the radio and
television - Miss NaWn ex-
plains, first of all, how to
distinguish quality in meats.
she shows how two pieces of
beef, for instance, Of the same
cut but of different grade,
generally differ in appear
ance Though, in some cases
they are deceptively alike.
Then she tells her audience
about the usefulness Of the
U. S. Grade Stamp as a guide
to the selection Of the proper
quality. The grade mark, i'm
printed in purple Tin a harm
less vegetable compound that
disappears in cooking), shows
that a u. S. Grader has ex-
amined the carcass and eval-
uated it's quality on the basis
of U. S. standards.
Then Miss Nawn turns to
the problem of selection.
Meat of the same cut, but of
different grades, may require
different cooking methods.
For example, if you buy top
round beef, of U. S. Prime
or U. S. Choice grade, you'll
find that you can prepare it
by dry heat (broiling, or pan
broiling). But if the meat is
of U. S. Good or U. S. Com
mercial grade, you'll need to
prepare it by moist heat
(braising, for instance), for
best results.
Cuttng-Knowing how to
distinguish grade, and how to
suit cooking to grade and cut,
the home cook is ready to tie
both ideas together to save
money. Miss Nawn suggests
that now, while beef is plen-
tiful - and when so many
homemakers have freezer or
other storage space in which
to keep their meat for a while
its a good idea to buy a
large piece. Then, using your
ingenuity, imagination, and
knowledge, you can prepare
the meat in several different
ways.
AS one example, suggests
Miss Nawn, buy a three-rit
rib roast - quite a large piece

progress edCn society is max
ing in the youth field and to
seek out the solution for per-
picking problems or some
particular impediment that
may be obstructing progress.
Working from the tried and
proven theory that two heads
are better than one, this fra
ternity of junior mentors has
established itself as an i'm
portant clearing house for the
problems of the youth Sec
tions of the fraternal world.
1t gives every representative
the opportunity to hear what
others have done, are doing
and plan to do. 1t gives him
the chance to learn new ideas
for enlarging the juvenile de-
partment, new views, new
tricks for drawing the youth
off the street, into an active
and creative juvenile branch.
At it's 1854 session, held on
May II at the Congress Hotel
in Chicago, this Association
attracted some fifty people
representing almost as many
societies. 1t was my second
opportunity to participate
and represent our Croatian
Fraternal Union.
My predecessor, bro. John
Badovinac, erstwhile Junior
Order Director and CFU Su-
preme Secretary, had made
his mark in this organization
and had been elected to it's
Executive body. Thus the
name of the CF'U was not new
and indeed we are one of
the largest components of the
entire organization.
The meeting ran the fami-
liar course or pattern of all
such gatherings but it did
deviate into a most interest
ing, impromptu discussion of
ideas and projects. Various
representatives were called
upon to tell the rest of us
just what they were doing in
their juvenile departments.
This is, of course, always a
treasure house of new ideas;
something to emulate and
copy is always limelighted.
When I was called upon to
describe the work of our
Junior Order I welcomed the
chance to describe those fa-
Gets of junior activity of
which we can all be justifiably
proud. I detailed our Summer
Camp at the CFU Children's
Home in Des PLANES, and the
cost of just $25 for a full two
weeks stay was unbelievable
to all.
When I further reduced
that to 20 Campaign Points,
which is the equivalent of
just $40, everyone was "a
mazed. I then emphasized our
aims and aspirations, that as
a nationality fraternal we
were deeply concerned with
perpetuating our national cul-
ture and that we felt that we
were contributing our share
to Americana by keeping a.
live our songs, music, dances,
customs and costumes.
We were doing this, I point
ed out, by assisting morally
and financially such groups
as the famous Duquesne Uni

lly. specify q 1U-lncn roast
when you order. Once it's
home you can cut off about 8
inches Of the rib ends to pre-
pare, by braising, as short
ribs. Then remove (or have
your butcher remove) 1 or 2
pieces 112 inches thick, to use
as steak. Finally, use the
trimmed, 7-inch roast that re-
mains as a standard rib roast
for oven cooking.
AS a second example, start
with a large thick cut of
round, of u. S. Prime or u. S.
Choice grade. This generous
cut actually contains three
separate sections - top, bot
tom, and tip. r
In the higher grades, the
top round section is tender
enough to broil as a steak or
use as an oven roast. A tri-
angular section in the bottom
round, known as the "eye",
is also suitable for roasting
or broiling. The other section
of the bottom round will be
more satisfactory if used as
a "Swiss steak" or pot roast.
The third section, known as
the tip, is used as a sirloin
tip roast.
There are other opportuni-
ties along the same line for
the alert shopper who uses
higher grades of beef. The
trick to selling these oppor-
tunities is to know meat
grades, meat cuts, and the
kinds of cookery best suited
to each combination of grade
and cut.
U. S. Grades - If the shop
per chooses to use u. S. Grade
marks as a help in selecting
her own meat, she should look
for the purple mark printed
on the fat of the retail cut.
The grade mark is contained
within the outline of a shield.
The legend includes the i'm
print "USDA" (which means
u. S. Department of Agricul-
tureN and the grade descrip-
tion - for example, "USDA

fication I appears with the
