!' Kathleen Norris Saya; #W America's Sake Stop Fussing i Bell Syndicate--WNU Fcktu« Congressional View •y CHAUNCEY •. REED DEEDS OF A PATRIOT UVE , AFTER HIM: iOn Decoation Day, it was the priv Lights of New York by L. L. STEVENSON Those old (days in New York, when miriners from the windjammers, in port after long voyages, went roaring along South street and were fair game for harpies and shore sharks, have been revived to a certain extent. The war is the cause. Men tives for 60 years, and was author o# the American's Creed, it was - indeed a fitting tribute to a great man. ITS A GAME " Good sportsmanship is as valuable in war as it is on the baseball diamond. And thdt applies to the home front as well as to the battlefield. W hiners and those who cry "gimme" are as guilty of a foul as the player who knocks the ball out of bounds. But unfortunately there isn't always an umpire on hand to call the foul on those people. In time they will put themselves "out" by their actions, but until then others must suffer for their failure to "play the .game" according to the rules. on to some of you younger ones. A "Just keep serene and cheerful, and ask him Ml to promaum* upon the dinner's canities or deficiencies until he's eaten it." By KATHLEEN NORRIS ALL this fussing about food /\ shortages seems to me unworthy of the people of the .greatest nation in the"world. That we ARE the greatest nation in the world is more evident «very day. Our ideals are the ^highest, our purposes in war and peace the most fair, and our people the most fortunate. There are millions of men and women in "the world who would thank God -all their days for a chance to #et to America. And there are very "few other countries to which these imprisoned, oppressed, starved, expatriated folk would care to go. That's why it seems to me beneath our dignity to keep up ^h|s anxious talk about food. We'll always have plenty of food; nobody's ..Jgoing to be hungry. But what we "have to remember is that we are making the most colossal war effort of our history, and for awhile the questions of farm labor and farm production, market labor and market -distribution, are' going to get all anixed up, be mis-managed, cause infinite confusion and inconvenience. ^ Then everything will get straightened out and organized, and we'll •have plenty again. Someone made "the statement the other day that tnore than four million Victory gardens, large and small, are being •planted all over the country; that rtneans vegetables, anyway, for some 32 to 20 million persons who depend- «ed on markets last year. Delicious Meat Substitute*. It wouldn't hurt us at all to cut •down to ONE real meat meal a week .and piece out the others with cheese, •eggs, oysters, shell-fish and real fish, •jand the lesser meats; chipped beef, sausages, tongue, tripe, kidney, calf's head, pig's feet, ox tails. All making an endless and delicious variety. A fish chowder is a meal in "fStseif, and so is asparagus plentifully '" pieced out with croutons and scal- • Joped in a cheese sauce. Or cauliflower so treated, or even the hum-. ble cabbage. Other nations merely season a hearty starch or vegetable dish with meat. Half a pound of ham or chopped giblets, poured over a great dish of spaghetti, is a meal in Southern Europe. Potatoes boiled in their . jackets with butter and salt and hot milk have nourished many a strapping young colleen or gossoon in Ireland. In France a simmering "poton- the-fire" gets a little of everything ; last week's chicken bones, the "lam bone that was bought when bit of meat was gone from jit; beans, cabbage, carrots, turnip, Itoasted odds and ends of bread, and scallions galore, and the result is the delicious, mellow, velvety, filling "potage paysanne" that with a salad, and long cuts of sour bread, makes 300 suppers a year. Years ago we used to save all the stale bread until Friday. Then it was toasted in the oven, put in a tureen, salted, and covered with several quarts of hot milk in which butter was melting. It was served in soup-plates, and was by no means an unpopular supper. The delightful uncertainty as to whether one's share would be .mostly bran, rye, graham or raisin bread was a part of the charm. Bread was never wasted, and nobody left the Friday supper table hungry. If dessert could be something extremely popular; say deep apple pie or a chocolate custard, all the better. But no matter how plain this fare looked to us when the realization came, "Friday again!" it always left us satisfied and happy. We used to call it *'crusts" and "poor house chowder" until a visiting child christened it "White Fried Soup Pay."

Officials Can Be Reduced Premiums on surety bond coverage for employees of New York cities were cut 20 per cent as a result of a study showing premium rates paid were considerably out of proportion to low loss payments made by the bonding companies. The study bringing about the premium rate reductions was made by the state's league of municipal official?, the American Municipal association reports. In addition, the study showed that many cities and villages might save thousands of dollars without impairing their protection by reducing the number of bonds and the amounts •ot the bonds. In some cases, legislative action would first be necessary to permit elimination of bonds, and a committee of the municipal league now is preparing a report on such legal revisions for submission to the 1943 legislature.

(By Mrs. Charles FreundV Tttn little boys and girls received j their First Communion at St. Peter's ;"h"rch Sunday mornin^ It was a j niost impressive cerem< ny as they enthe church in procession led by jeirls dressed as angels and flower 'girls in pink and blue gowns. Preceding the commuicants were six tiny eirls dressed in white floor length dresses, with hat6 to match, escorted by six little boys in white suits. All I carried colonial bouquets of sweet peas. The first communicants, the gir*s in pure white dresses and veils and the boys in white trousers and dark coats, proceeded to the altar, where they renewed their baptismal vows. During the mass they were escorted to the altar individually by the angels to receive Our Lord for the first time. The Communion Class consisted 6f Jacqueline Cavett, Phyllis May, Jeanette Huff, June Klaus, Henry Kattner, John May, Frederick May, James Ryan, John Schaefer and George Stanfel. Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Freund of Crystal Lake announce the arrival of beer, which the sailor thought was ! quite decent of her. He took a beer 1 also. The next thing he knew, he ' awakened in the subway with a head- : ache built for an elephant. A j hasty search of his pockets disclosed i one solitary dime. And when he'd met that girl he had $1,200. • • • Then there was Red whose pay was $1,500. He settled his dues and when he came out of union head- ' quarters, he was approached by a do\yn-and-outer who said he was a sailor who was on the beach. He needed a new outfit in order to get a ship. Red, feeling sorry for him, gave him $10. Another panhandler got $5. Immediately he was besieged by a flock of mendicants. He brcke away and went into a grogshop. There he met some shipmates and spent a little money, probably $20 in all. With a fellow he met at the bar, he went to another place. That's all he .remembers. But when he awakened, under a truck, it was the next morning. Not only was his $1,500 gone, but his shoes as well. Red's chief regret is that he didn't get more action for his money. • • • Other mariners who man the life line to ouf allies told highly similar stories. One had taken a girl home and had not only been robbed but badly beaten by. a man w^io claimed to be her husband. Another had gone to bed in a rooming house with $1,000 in his shirt The next morning he had neither shirt nor money. Another, who had $500, went Made to Order FREE ESTIMATES them. Of course he wants a big steak, or two double chops or a roast. But he doesn't need them, and if you can keep him quiet until any good plain filling food is inside him, he'll realize that war-time meals aren't such an infliction, after all.
