P resident T rum an has insisted th a t this program is urgent. S ev eral congressm en have proposed bills w ith th e essential featu res of B ush’s report. Congress is a l ready having people come to e x press them selves on these bills and a law probably w ill be pass ed this year. objectionable in th e scene. The play cam e h ere from Bos ton, w here it had an u n in te rru p t ed ru n after th e W atch and W ard society decided th a t it was not a m enace to public m orals. It is scheduled to move to New York after playing h ere for the r e m ain d er of th e week. F orney related to th e tw o m eetings th a t in th e play a boy is in tro u b le w ith a Negro girl comes to a m inister for advice, and is told to give th e girl some m oney and try to get a colored m an to m arry her. “I, as a P ro te sta n t m in ister,” said F orney, “resen t th a t insult on our clergy. It is n o t a C hrist- like m inister. It is n o t a C h rist ian m inister. A re w e P ro testan ts going to allow a th in g like this to go on?” The a tta c k on th e p l a y by P h ilad elp h ia’s m in isters came as a su rp rise to th e a u t h o r of “S tran g e F ru it”, Miss L i l l i a n Sm ith. “I had th o u g h t th a t th e most im p o rtan t experience for C hrist ians,” said Miss Sm ith, “was the philosophy of love and th e b ro th erhood of man. In a land th a t believes in racial segregation real C h ristian ity cannot flourish. My attack is on hypocrisy, n o t on th e teachings of Jesu s C hrist. I tak e th e teachings of C h rist so seri ously th a t I cannot abide seeing them blasphem ed by m any m in isters w ho call them selves C h rist ians bu t do n o t p ractice th e teachings of C h ristian s”. Miss S m ith is a M ethodist and h er brother, Dr. Jo sep h A. Sm ith, is a leading M ethodist m inister in th e south. She is a m em ber of th e racial relatio n s com m ittee of th e F ederal Council of C hurches of C h rist in A m erica and a p a p er sh e published l a s t spring, "The W hite C h ristian and His Conscience", has been w idely r e p rin ted by M ethodist, B aptist, C atholic and E piscopalian papers. The co-producers of th e play are Jo se F errer, a Catholic, and A rth u r F rien d , a Jew . "One cannot practice th e doc trin e of brotherhood in a segrat- ed c h u rch ”, said Miss Sm ith. “We have trie d too long in A m erica to hold on to both th e slave and Jesus. It looks as if w e m ust give up one or th e o tth er. E very a t tem p t to reconcile th e tw o in creases our social hypocrisy and m ental conflict”.

"Babes Meal Planning Corner" Substantial Quality Food a Necessity on Winter Social Menu Fiesta punch is delicious served either hot or cold. No sugar la re quired when one of the suggested substitutes Is used, and the bever age can be quickly made a short tim e before guests arrive. With so m any fam ilies returning to the old home town, and couples who m arried dur ing the w ar final ly getting settled t o g e t h e r , w e l- \ come parties are becoming quite a r the style. Social engagement books which looked blank are now filled again. Yes, entertaining is due for a re vival. This is the tim e, because the holiday season is approaching in full glory. Food is not the problem It was last y ear although there still are restrictions, and it’s fairly easy to serve som ething nice and m ake the table look its prettiest. If the group is m ixed and there are a num ber of men (big eaters, now that they have learned to have lots of chow or go to m ess reg u lar ly!), plan to have a substantial cas serole dish with some hearty trim m ings like big salads and rich-look ing cakes or pastry. Or, if the affair Is to be just a snack, serve bread with a choice of fillings and the usual accom pani m ents like potato chips, pickles, olives, relishes, and punch or some favorite beverage. Suggestion I. Assorted Bread: Oatm eal, Raisin, White and Rye. Sandwich Fillings: Nippy Cheese and Peanut Butter. Relishes: Olives, Radishes, C a r rot Sticks and Celery H earts. Beverage: Orange Juice or Fiesta t unch. Nippy Cheese Filling. Com bine equal parts of crehm cheese and butter. Add salt and paprika to taste and 1 teaspoon each of finely minced parsley, pick les, olives and green pepper. F la vor with sardine paste. Peanut Rutter Filling. Peanut butter m ay be served alone or It m ay be combined with any of the following for a delicious filling: jam , chopped bacon or g ra t ed raw carrots. F iesta Punch. (Makes H gallon) I cup strong tea % cup sugar, honey or corn syrup M cup lemon Juice 1!4 cups orange juice I cup grape juice 1 qu art w ater M ake the strong tea by pouring 1 cup boiling w ater over 4 teaspoons of tea. Dissolve sugar or substi- tutes In the hot, ■trained tea. (The tea should steep first for S m in utes.) F or a hot punch, combine the tea with the fruit juices and add the w ater which should be boil ing hot. Serve a t once. F or cold punch, chill the tea and com bine with well-chilled fruit Juices and iced w ater. G arnish the punch with slices of orange and lem ' ’■ H ot B re a d s If you w ant to choose one Item th at will m ake a com pany m eal out of a plain menu, then add frag ran t hom e-m ade bread or rolls to it. F r e s h - f r o m - th eo v e n bread or ro lls a r e m e a l t o n i c s h a r d to beat. If you want to add ex tra nourish m ent to your m enus or to give in expensive energy to your family, then the form ula Is b re ad —or rolls! They contain carbohydrates, some fat and milk and eggs. B read can be used lavishly in m any interesting ways. A fruited coffee ring for breakfast can m ean the difference betw een a well begun day or a dull, prodding one. - And think of the difference between fresh, m oist bread in sandwiches for lunch and dry, stale bread. F irst of all, there’s this scarlet- topped and crystal-glazed quick cof-‘ fee cake to sta rt the day right. Or. if you prefer, it will do nicely for dessert, thank you! Cranberry Coffee Ring. (12 Servings) H i cups sifted flour H cup sugar - 2 teaspoons baking powder H teaspoon salt 1 egg U eup milk 3 tablespoons melted shortening Cranberry Orange Topping. Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and sa lt together. B eat egg and add milk and shortening. Stir In dry In gredients, m ixing only enough to m oisten them . Spread topping even ly over the bottom of a ring mold. Pour b a tte r over topping. Bake in a m oderately hot (425-degree) oven for 25 m inutes. Cranberry Orange Topping. 3 tablespoons melted butter 1 teaspoon grated orange rind % eup sugar 1H cups whole, raw cranberries Mix to gether in o rd e r given and use it as directed above. Now t hat cheese is plenti f u l a n d u n ra - tioned, it’s a good idea to use it for m ain dishes and d e s i e r t a , too. With plump, red cheeked apples and cheese, you can m ake this delectable dessert: Cheese-Apple Cobblerettes. (Serves 6-8) 2 cups sifted flour 3 teaspoons baking powder Y, teaspoon salt H -l cup nippy grated cheese 2-4 tablespoons shortening H-Y* cup milk LYNN SAYS Brrad Baking: For baking bread and rolls, the oven should be fairly hot. On gas, electric or oil ranges, the oven tem perature should read from 380 to 400 de grees. Pans (If m ore than one loaf Is baked a t a tim e) should not stsnd too close together, so th at heat m ay circu late freely around them . A fter about 10 minutes of baking, the tem perature should be reduced to about 350 degrees and m aintained until the loaves are done. Medium-sized loaves re quire 45 to 50 m inutes' baking tim e, while large loaves need an hour or longer. If there is no oven therm om eter handy, the tem perature may be tested as follows: Spread tfc tea spoon flour on an inverted baking tin In a layer V« inch thick and place In the oven. At 400 degrees, the flour will become light brown in aboui 5 m inutes. If it darkens m ore quickly than that, allow the oven to cool before placing bread In to bake.
