PMA MEETING K- ' &?/••. lx*' rv P m: » • « K'v1 Vr>AJ At Pure Milk association's seven teenth annual meeting in Chicago on March 10 Walter Winn, Richmond, was unanimously re-elected to repre sent District 6 members on the board of directors for the 1942-44 term. Mr. Winn has been a member of the association since it was organized, and has served as District 6 director since 1986. Prior to that he was president «f Spring Grove local and president of District 6. With his son, Holland, he operates an 80-acre Guernsey farm near Richmond. 1942 OFFICERS ARE ELECTED BY NEW PMA BOARD Dinner is the master meal of the day and as such requires the most masterful stroke the homemaker can apply. With time unlimited, this master stroke is not so hard to bring into play, but with days like these which ere filled to the utmost with activity of all kinds, time-saving hints and ideas for dinner are important. Planning a meal which can all be baked is both time and money saving. If you're pinched for silver and aluminum for cooking and serving, you can use glasswares for both the cooking and serving. Today I'm discussing a dinner that is equally adaptable for either a family or company dinner. It's one of those meals that you won't forget because it's always bound to be successful from the point of view of appetite appeal, ease in serving and ease in cooking. Tuck these ideas where they won't gather dust, for they'll gather fame more easily. •Lamb Roast. ' (Serves 8 to 10) 5 to 6 pound leg of lamb Garlic clove or slice of onion _ Salt and pepper Have a leg of lamb boned and tied. Wipe with a damp cloth but do not remove fell, the parchmentlike covering over the n>eat. Rub garlic or onion (or onion salt, if you have neither of those) over the meat, then rub salt and pepper. Bake in a slow (300-degree) oven, allowing 30 to 35 minutes to the pound. If a heat resistant glass platter is used, the lamb nw be served from that. •Franconia Potatoes. (Serves 8 to 10) 8 to 10 medium-sized potatoes 4 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons chopped parsley Cook potatoes in boiling salted water for 15 minutes. Drain and place in the oven around the meat to finish roasting, about 40 minutes. Pour melted butter and chopped parsley over potatoes when done. Arrange with whole, cooked carrots on platter and serve. A hot bread on a cool evening adds plenty of staccato to the menu, . end I would ad- \V ^ Jt vise serving it of- VxttVv ten. This one is especially appropriate for the menu today because your oven will be hot and you can bate it before you put in the meat. , At its first meeting following Pure Milk association's seventeenth annual membership meeting, the 1942 board of directors unanimously re-elected Gerhard H. EkhofF of Grant Park, 111., i as president of the association. Mr. EkhofF has served as PMA president since March of 1937, and has bean District 14 director since 1927. He is also president of 4)airy Products Promotion, Inc., iand a member of the executive cofomittee of the Illinois Milk Producers association. Also unanimously re-elected were first vice-president Charles Schmaling of Delavan, Wis., who has held that office since 1931 and has been a member of the board of directors since 1928; and second vice-president A. P. Bracket of Monterey, Ind. Mr. Brucker has represented District 17 members on the board of directors since 1930 and has held the office of second vicepresident since March of 1940. New treasurer of the association is Waiter Winn of Richmond, 111., PMA director from District 6 since 1935. Mr. Winn succeeds E. E. Houghtby of Shabbona, 111., who has representee District 8 members on the board since 1934 and has served as treasurer of the organization since 1935. C. M. Cosgrove, Elgin, 111., was re-elected secretary. 1000 Stolen From ^ Crystal Lake Home Deputy Sheriff Harold E. Reese was celled to Crystal Lake Monday morning to investigate a $600 burglary at the William Reddersdorf home. The burglary took place the previous night between 7:30 and 8:30. Reddersdorf, who is a plumber, has his business office at his home on Franklin street. He had receipts of $600 in a sate in the home and the burglars took the whole amount after opening the same. They entered the house by breaking a window in the bftfeement. Lynn Says: Trying to tackle the whiter vegetable problem? Here's a pa-» rade of suggestions that will prop up your meals: Baked squash with small white onions baked in the hollow. A bit of cream sauce added just before serving to the onions will also perk up this dish. Sprinkle with paprika for color. Carrots: glaze these with brown sugar and butter when baking. For cooked carrots add a bit of tartness with lemon juice. Serve canned or cooked lima beans with this smart mustard sauce: 4 tablespoons butter mixed with Vz teaspoon sugar* 1 teaspoon ground mustard end 2 tablespoons lemon juice. Beets like' to be teamed up with a Harvard sauce. Thicken the beet liquid with cornstarch and add a bit of grated orange rind and juice for delightful variation. Sprinkle cooked asparagus with grated Swiss cheese and brown under the broiler. Parsnips: parboil these, then dip in egg and bread crumbs. Fry until a golden brown. Turnips: cook and mash.

Caramel flavoring flirts with custard in this dessert idea. But what's especially nice about this one is that you can bake it along with the bread since both require the same oven temperature.

Speaking of planning menus that seem to fit both company and family dinner occasions I thought you might like a few suggestions.

Retailers'" and manufacturers' organizations have changed their positions lately to openly advocate a sales tax as a reliable source of Federal revenue. The idea is apparently growing in favor at the, Capitol but is opposed by the Treasury which has a tax program of its own awaiting action by the lawmakers. The overhauling of the tax structure is a job of gigantic proportions and correspondingly grave implications to all citizens. The House Committee on Ways and Means, which must draft a revenue measure, expects to continue open hearings on the subject until East^r arteL then work out schedules. One of ^he-jfronounced fears in government/ circles is the spread of inflation. It is hoped that some new features of the new tax bill will have a restrictive effect on free and easy spending.

The tire rationing has been the first experiment yet its immediate effects will not be felt by all persons. The newest sugar rationing is something, however, which strikes every household and makes rationing^ suoject for every-day family talks. Indications are that gasoline rations on a moderate scale, especially along the Eastern seaboard will intensify popular inter-" est in the deprivations incident to war. Controlled distribution of passenger automobiles and trucks is on su?h a limited scale that the general public is not over-conscious of the plan of curtailment.

Price Administration big-wigs say rationing and price Control "as a job it is a headache that'll be bound to grow Worse.'* The "brass-hets" of officialdom are wrestling with many problems. Not the least of which is stabilization of wages to prevent undue inflation. Some Congressional groups would like to enact legislation on the subject but the word has gone 9ut that the answer will come by meins of administrative action. • What form this control will assume is, of course, anybody's best guess. A ceiling on wages for skilled workers and giving labor unions a mid-town hotel, provided with meals and completely outfitted with suitable clothing. This accounting is mild in comparison to the necessities afforded by the Red Cross. --R--C-- The American Red Cross McHenry County Chapter Woodstock, Illinois.

The War Prpduction Board has already taken a step in forming management- labdr committees in plants where they have war contracts. Some labor leaders look askahce at this development for it places responsibilities for output on unions which they prefer to leave on employers' shoulders. Unionists are also concerned over the prospects of heavy taxes wiping out profits of larger firms and thus preventing workers from making demands for higher wages and a share in coporation gains. The stormy passage of the Agricultural Department's appropriation bill through the House is taken as a sign that Congress is becoming economyminded. The publicity given non-essential expense items, like sixteen millions for official travel, forced the legislators to use the paring knife on committee recommendations for next year's expenditures.
