Chicken With An Accent
By Violet Faulkner
By Violet Faulkner
Food Editor

ITO ALL of us there comes
a time when tonight's
dinner doesn't seem very diff
ferent from the meal we
served last night, or. even the
night before. OF course, you
argue to yourself, there are
only so many cuts Of meat,
so much variety of fish or
fowl. But, don't forget, there
are as many ways to fix them
as there are cooks.
Take chicken, for example.
If that's your choice for to-
night, here are some brand
new ways to serve 1t that come
all the way from the other
side Of the world.
South Seas chicken, adapted
from a Philippine Islands
speciality, is a tasty combina-
tion Of chicken, pineapple
and coconut, served over rice
and favored with just enough
lemon juice for a sweet-Sour
zip.
Chicken PariSienne is a
show-off dish, perfect for the
chafing dish at a buffet sup
per. The chicken is compile
mented by sauterne, fresh
mushrooms and finely chopped
chiveS.
Spanish cooks have a way
with chicken, peas and rice
which makes the result a
hearty, mountaineering COM
bination. The trick is not
hard to duplicate; it's pri-
marily a blending of all the
flavors that come from SIM
mering the main ingredients
all together for an hour or so.

Gellrig was Joe Krakauskas. a
fast-balling young southpaw who
worked for Washington. Gehrig.
aleft-handed hitter. used to plant
himself squarely in the batter's
box. Krakauskas pitched Lou
close just once. Later. in the
locker room, the big pitcher was
shocked.
They better get that Gehrig
out of there before somebody
kills him." said Krakauskas. Il
pitched him inside, across the
letters j just once! If Gehrig
saw that ball he couldn't move
away from it. The ball went
between his arms - not over
or under 'em but through 'em!"
Lou somehow struggled
through the first eight games
of the 80 season before he
quietly put down his glove.
After 2,l30 consecutive games.
the Iron Horse, 36 years old. had
completed his final run. Arterio-
scierosis of the spine was wasting
Gehrig just as quickly and as
completely as cancer. For weeks.

PUNCH RECIPE.

For Mrs. r. E. H., Arlington:
Here is a recipe for punch
that I have served several
times at children's parties. and
it has always seemed to do the
trick very nicely. For a larger
party you would have to in
crease the recipe some, as this
only makes about quart.

ticed walking down stairs in
an effort to be graceful with
the antenna. Before I was
through / broke two antennae
and did something serious to
a battery. Luckily they had
spares.
They changed their minds
several times about what I was
to wear. The robe they finally
picked was discovered a few
minutes before air time to
have two rips in it, and Myra
frantically sewed them up. At
1890 EST Mr.. Murrow went
to call on Bing Crosby in Hol-
lyWood. Hours passed, or so
it seemed to me. I sat in a
stiff hacked chair in my up
stairs living room in a coma.
Suddenly out of a little black
box I heard Ed MurroW's
voice asking me a question. I
was being gestured at by peo-
pie in the room and somehow
I plunged into action.
Then it was over and the
telephone rang and rang.
Everybody, except me, ate
sandwiches and said how
smoothly it had gone. I was
back in the coma.
Since then I've been think
ing. Millions watching that
telecast saw only Ed MurroW
and me. But the others are
all there-every week. It's in

to think about, afterwards.

more of a whirl II I'd been
entertaining Queen Mother for
the week end.
Preparations for a Murrow
telecast begin las preparations
undoubtedly do when royalty
is expected a month or more
before the event. This is how
1t went. Somebody telephoned.
An appointment was arranged.
Four fine looking men arrived
to keep it. One carried a cam
era and snapped pictures OF
me and my apartment from all
angles. Another investigated
every corner of the place for
electric outlets. A third car
ried on a more or less search
ing conversation with me. A
fourth Il found out he's the
director, Charles Hill-the pro-
ducer is John Aaron) just
Misunderstanding and brood
ed. I decided that this was
purely d scouting expedition.
/ wondered nervously what
they would decide when they
gathered around a big table
and considered the various re-
ports.
1t was about a week before l
found out. Evidently I'd
passed, for David Moore tele-
phoned to ask If it would be
convenient for Mr.. Murrow
and troupe to drop in Decem-
ber 3, also for David to come
before that and interview me
some more.
1t was then that I began to
fret about the prospective call
which was to be televised from
one end of the country to the
other on Person to Person"
What should I say? Should I
have my hair restyled? What
should I wear? Ought I to
have the house redecorated?
I started canvassing friends
who had already entertained
Mr.. MurTow.
Fannie Hurst said I must
wear my Chinese robe because
"they strap you into batteries
with floating antenna in
back and a microphone in
front" Mary Martin volun-
teered that rs men came to
her house to do the show.
Poppy Cannon said, Don't
worry, they'll tell you what to
do" I did worry though. So
did Myra. who house-cleaned
as though Judgment Day were
in the offing.
Then they came, more even
than IS l thought wildly.
(There were really about Is,
including one girl, all delight
full, too.)
They made a control room
Of my bedroom. draped it with
cables, switchboards, monitors.
They rolled in cameras up
stairs and down. They used
every inch of space except one
little cubbyhole which they
told me I might stay in. At
6 pm. they remembered I was
there. David came to talk
through" the program. Then
I walked through" it three or
four times so the cameras
would know where to find me.
BY that time l was wired for
sound and on my own, prac-
