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

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.
(Serves 6)
Boned Breast of Lamb
• i pound bulk pork sausage
2 tablespoons lard
1 small onion, diced
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 cup tomatoes
Have lamb breast boned, spread
with sausage meat and tied into a
roll. Brown on all sides in hot fat.
Season with salt and pepper. Add
all other ingredients. Cover closely
and cook very slowly until done,
about 114 hours. Add more liquid,
if needed.
Colorful vegetables in this menu
are all cooked with the meat:
Braised Liver with Vegetables
Mashed Potatoes
Orange-Watercress Salad
Rye Bread — Butter
Butterscotch Sundae

The inside story can now be told
regarding one of the greatest wor
ries of the Allied High Command in
connection with the Normandy in
vasion—namely, casualties. It was
feared they would be terrifically
high.

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

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.

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.
