He had thrust his bill through a crack for a few grains of corn wfeen something had seized his bill and hung on. Sammy didn't have the least bit of doubt that it was a trap of some kind set by Farmer Brown's Boy. He flew down to the Green Forest to think it over and plan some way to get even with Parmer Brown's Boy. As he sat there muttering to himself along c&me Reddy Fox. t For a wonder •Reddy saw Sammy before Sammy saw him. Reddy grinned. "Sammy certainly has got something on his mind," thought Reddy. Tljen he said aloud: "Hello, Sammy! What's the matter? You look as if you had the stomachache and the headache and * M-Jew other aches." „ .."Matter enough, Reddy Fox! Mat- 'iT'/ier enough!" snapped Sammy: Then, because he felt that he just had to tell someone, he told Reddy all about his terrible fright that looming. ,:,'"It was a trap," said Sammy. "It nms some kind of a trap set by Farmer Browi's Boy. just as if he couldn't spare a few grains of @"<P>flASL2 & 08 Twice Tol d ei One Whole Chicken Can Be Made Into Two Meals "It was a trap," said Sammy. "It was some kind of a trap set by Farmer Brown's Boy!" corn when he has got so much!!--* I--I'd like to--to peck his eyes out! . That's what I'd like to do!" Sammy said that because it was the most dreadful thing he could think of, but he didn't really mean it. Reddy knew it and grinned, for he also knew that Sammy didn't dare go near enough to Farmer Brown's Boy to more than scream at him. All the time he had been listening Reddy had sat with his head cocked on one side, which is a way he has when he's thinking. Inside he was laughing, for Reddy knows a lot about traps and about Farmer Brown's Boy and he didn't believe that Farmer Brown's Boy ever would set a, trap in such a queer place as a crack in the wall of a corncrib. "That was a terrible experience, Sammy Jay, and I don't wonder that you were frightened. Are you going up there tomorrow morning?" "What?" screamed Sammy. "Going up there again? What do you take me for? I guess I don't need but ene lesson of that kind. There's plenty to eat in the Green Forest add on the Green Meadows without running any such risk as that. No, sir, you won't catch me around Farmer Brown's corncrib again very ~ soon; not if my name is Sammy Jay i" "You are wise, very wise," replied Reddy gravely* "It.is always Wise to keep out of danger." And with this Reddy trotted on up the Lone Little Path, and inside his red head were busy thoughts. Reddy had made up his mind that there was something very queer about Sammy Jay's fright and he meant . to find out about it. He would be on hand at the first peep of day the next morning to see what was going on around Farmer Brown's conir crib. '.. And all day long Sammy Jay flew ... about through the Green Forest telling everyone who would listen how Farmer Brown's Boy had tried to trap him. Late that afternoon he visited the Old Orchard and tcild his story all over again to Chatterer, the Red Squirrel, and Chatterer didn't so much as smile until after Sammy had left. Then he threw himself on the ground and rolled over . a»d over and laughed until his sides ached. > "H-mm," said Reddy Fox thoughtfully, as unseen by Chatterer he watched from behind the old stone wall, "that red - coated busybody knows something about that trap in the corncrib. I certainly will be on hand early tomorrow morning." You're the clever hoinemaker who saves on chicken by using only half »a chicken for roasting. You can have the stuffing, too, by mounding it under the chicken when you roast it in the pan to get allthe wonderful flavor of the meat in ,it. Most families are so reduced that few homemakers find it necessary to stew or roast a whole chicken for their meals. Instead, it's much smarter to use one half of the chicken for stewing, the other half for roasting, or perhaps in making numerous and delicious dishes using cut up chicken. Chicken is a good source of protein and we can use it in place of meat dishes regularly. In addition * it's a delicious food that combines well with many other types of food, and goes with most vegetables and fruits in the menu. Consider, for example, many of the chicken salads which can be made up with fruits or vegetables, and for sandwich fillings. Then, too, you can serve chicken either warm or cold with many vegetables and fruits, as a good start on getting j what you need of the seven basic ! food groups necessary to health. ! You probably have your own way | of stewing and roasting chicken, but i instead of using one whole chicken I for either of these methods, split it, i use one half for stewing, the other j for roasting. - - . f Cut the fowl in half, lengthwise, ! and cook one half with several j carrots, celery, parsley, onion, and i seasonings in enough water to cover until tender. Make dumplings, if i you like, to go with the stew. •For roast chicken, cook stewing ! hen split in half lengthwise until tender. Mound 4 to 6 cups of wellseasoned dressing in bottom of shallow pan, well greased where dressing is placed. Arrange dressing to keep outline of chicken. Press cooked half of chicken cut side down over dressing. Brush chicken with melted fat. Bake uncovered in a hot oven (400 degrees) until chicken is nicely browned, about hour. i: A few leftover pieces of chicken either from the roast or from stewing can go into a salad.

It Will help you in buying and budgeting. Most of the times we're concorned with buying foods in seast/ n, but it's more important to buy in season now when you're preparing to put up "foods for the fall and winter. In case you don't have your own garden, you might be of help in picking vegetables and fruits to some farmer who does not have enough help. If you are canning, this is a splendid way of getting fresh produce. Those of you city dwellers who can neither have your own Victory garden or help pick produce shouid get to the market early to get as fresh produce as Lynn Chambers' Point-Saving Menus *Jtoast Half of Chicken Bread Stuffing , Fresh Asparagus Parsleyed Potatoes , Lettuce-Waterciess Salad ....

Clearing the way for invasion our invasion forces can make their landings, the lanes of approach must be swept clean of enemy mines. And (his job is being done by the Navy men aboard minesweepers. To provide for the United Nations'invasion plans to date and those of the future, American ship builders have achieved mass construction of these minesweepers by drawing op the tremendous energy of Electric Power. Portable electric skill saws, drills, grinders and welders are all used in the cutting, shaping and fitting of these sturdy seafaring craft. Powerful electric cranes are employed to install the engines and lift aboard the heavy unit parts.
