FEAR OF CASUALTIES M eal Contrast* In C olor, T extu re H elp A p p etite Cheese Souffle Nandwlches team up with ripe olivet to give good fla vor and color contrast to those quickie lunches. How la your contrast IQ in meals? Do you serve whitcflsh, potatoes and cauliflower all at the same meal and expect the fam ily to eat it? Do you put be fo r e th e m B ean L o a f, m ashed squash and bread pudding and ex pect them to find the meal palatable? Yes, tiie foods are all highly nu tritious und may be well prepared, but there’s an important element in meal planning missing in these sug gestions. It is contrast. There’s a lack of contrast in flavor, color and texture in these food combinations, and without that meals will often go uneaten. Now, how would you like this com bination? Mock drumsticks, lima beans and carrots. There’s no same ness about texture or color there. Mock Drumsticks. (Serves 6) 1*4 pounds veal, beef or pork steaks, cut thin 6 skewers 2 cups cornflakes 1 egg 2 tablespoons milk 1 teaspoon salt W teaspoon pepper 3 tablespoons fat ’ ii cup water Cut meat into strips and roll around skewers in the shape of a drumstick. Roll cornflakes into fine crumbs. Cover drumsticks with crumbs, then dip in slightly beaten egg to which m ilk and seasonings have been added. Roll again in crumbs. Brown the drum sticks in fat, then add water, cover tightly and bake in a moderate (330 jlegrce) oven about 1 hour or until tender. Here’s an easy dinner as good to the eye as to the palate: Cream of Tomato Soup Lam b Roll Baked Squash Hashed Brown Potatoes Cole Slaw Apple Sauce Chocolate Cookies Lam b Roll.

How A»' ever, he has been cautious in other areas also. Before the Battle of E l Alamein, when the British arm y had been pushed back and back across the desert toward Cairo, Montgomery queried his chief, Gen eral Alexander: “ What casualties can I take?” Alexander, with the fate of the Suez canal at stake, re plied: “One hundred per cent.” Caution, of course, is no reflection on courage. • • • Braised Liver With Vegetables.

Western Newspaper Union, 210 South Desalaines Street, Chicago 6, (U. Released by Western Newepaper Unlen. Now that Adm. Ernie ( “ Clothes Horse") King has finally relented and will let naval officers shed their jackets under certain conditions in hot weather, a lot of sailors wish he would also examine the uniform of the enlisted man. Most enlisted men would whoop with joy if their present, long-out moded uniform was discarded. What most people don't realize is that the sailor's uniform was designed by the British about 200 years ago and is now just as outmoded as the sailing ship. Take, for instance, the broad col la r worn over the shoulders. It was designed for vermin-infested ships of the 1700s, when sailors had to be deloused and a broad collar was practicable to catch the tar oils used in a sailor’s hair. Again, the bell-shaped trousers, which flap around the ankles and nearly trip the wearer when he runs, were designed for days when sailors rolled their trousers up over their legs to scrub decks. Today, dunga rees are provided for this sort of work. Again the drop front, 13-button trousers were designed for a day two centuries ago when tidiness was nothing like what it is today. One thing which particularly gripes the enlisted man is the tight- fitting waist of his blouse, which has to be slipped on and off over his head. If a sailor is dumped into the water and has to swim for any length of time, it is almost impossi ble to get this blftuse off. It is tight, sticks to the body, and you can’t very well swim and at the same tim e hold two arms above your head while you wriggle out of your middy. Some of the boys wish that Ad m iral King would take off his new grey-green uniform, designed for him by His M ajesty’s tailor in Lon don, long enough to experiment with a middy-blouse in the water. They think that, despite a century’s de lay, he would then design for them a new uniform overnight.
