WEEK-END SUPPER IDEAS
THIS WEEK'S MENU
Guests for the week-end? or just
the family? Whichever it ie you'll
want to take a brief vacation from
the kitchen or it won’t really be
Labor day for you.
Here’s how you <jo it: Bake the
nutbread in advance, it's better if
it stands a day or
so. Mix the meat
and set in the re
frigerator
until
ready to bake.
As a vegetable
you’ll like tender
corn with lots of
butter, takes only
a few minutes to cook, you know.
Your salad is simple and is tossed
in a few seconds. Dessert, too, you
can make the day before and just
wait until you see what a lovely sur
prise it is. too. Cool and delicious,
the orange freeze is tops.
A change in the meat course is
the order of the day. A touch of
fruit borrowed from a favorite cake
and three of your favorite kinds of
meat go to make up this:
•Apricot Upside-Down Meat Loaf.
(Serves 8 to 10>
1 pound smoked ham (ground twice)
*4 pound beef (ground)
H pound fresh pork (ground)
2 eggs
cup cold water
1 cup milk
1 cup cornflakes (crushed)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
H teaspoon pepper
44 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon onion (very finely
minced)
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons brown sugar
18 dried apricot halves (cooked)
Combine smoked ham, beef and
pork with slightly beaten eggs, milk,
water and cornflakes. Mix thorough
ly and add Worcestershire sauce,
pepper, mustard, and finely minced
onion. Melt butter in bottom of a
9 by 5 by 3 loaf pan. Add brown
sugar and heat until well blended.
Arrange apricots, cut side up, on
the bottom of the pan. Pack the
meat mixture over the apricots.
Bake in a moderate oven (350 de
grees) for IV« hours.
You'll really approve of this new
dessert idea, and since it’s light it
will be especially appropriate with
a substantial main course:
•Orange Freeze.
(Makes 144 quarts)
% cup sugar
1 cup water
1 package orange-flavored gelatin
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups milk
Combine sugar and water and boil
2 minutes. Remove from fire and
dissolve gelatin in hot syrup. Add
fruit juices. Turn into freezing tray
of automatic refrigerator, setting to
coldest freezing temperature. When
partially frozen, turn into cold bowl
and beat with rotary beater until
thick and fluffy. Add milk and beat
until blended. Return to tray, stir
every 30 minutes, and freeze until
firm (5 to 6 hours).
Peach Shortcake.
Since peaches are so very good
this year, you’ll want to make the
most of them. This will win your

background and good vitamin
stories intrigue me. Take water
cress, for instance. You may
once have gathered this tender
little green among brooks and
runs, but its history harks back
much longer than either you or I.
Watercress is an excellent
source of vitamin A which pro
motes growth, increases resist

prevents eye diseases. Excellent
too is watercress in vitamin C
which is so essential to good bone

Vitamin B, too, is found in its
leaves, and that, you know, stim

help you have normal nutrition.

For that I would
suggest assorted

There was a gi*>d reason why
Lord Beaverbrook, dynamic min
ister of supply, listed tanks as the
No. 1 objective of his visit to the
U. S. He flew over largely to try
to persuade our ar(,ny chiefs to lend-
lease him the major share of our
growing output.
There is sharp division In the
army over this. Armored unit com
manders have been champing at
the bit for the tanks now beginning
to roll off assembly lines. They
need the equipment not only to train
their men and officers but to keep
up morale—which sags when mod
ern war machines are missing or
simulated.
Buck privates to generals have
griped over being forced to ’’play at
soldiering." This was one of the
main causes for the strong senti
ment among citizen soldiers against
extension of their year's service.
They could raise no enthusiasm for
continuing to train without equip
ment
On the other hand, the general
staff believes that it is far more vi
tal to the Immediate security of the
U. S. to let our tanks and other
armament help hold off the Nazis
3,000 miles from our shores.
The strategists contend that a
U. S. tank is performing infinitely
more valuable service knocking out
Nazis on the torrid deserts of North
Africa, or the bloody steppes of Rus
sia, than using up oil in a training
camp in Texas. They favor send
ing most of our new tanks to Britain
for the present, and Beaverbrook's
mission is to clinch that argument.

British Need.
The British need for tanks, par
ticularly for the latest type. 32-ton
medium tanks, is extremely urgent.
It was lack of these that caused
the rout in Greece and prevents the
British from taking the offensive in
Libya and on the continent. Also,
without medium tanks the British
would be in desperate straits should
Hitler make his feared overland
move into Spain and Portugal,
across the Strait of Gibraltar and
down the Atlantic coast of French
West Africa to Dakar.
Thanks to the U. S., the British
are well supplied with light 12-ton
tanks. So far they have received
about 500, together with spare parts.
These light tanks have given a
good account of themselves. They
are superior to similar German and
Italian types.
But mounting only
50-caliber guns and lightly armored,
they are no match, as Greece and
Libya have proved, for medium Axis
tanks.

STEEL SHOWDOWN
The OPM and the steel industry
finally have taken drastic steps to
regulate supplies and increase ca- 1
pacity, but it took all kinds of nag
ging by the government to get them
to do it.
One of the most spectacular of
these nagging sessions took place in
the OPM board room recently and
was attended by Eugene Grace of
Bethlehem Steel; Tom Girdler of
Republic; Ernest Weir of Weir
ton; Irving Olds, new head of U S.
Steel, together with Ed Stettinius,
the old head; Leon Henderson; ,
Knudsen; and representatives from
the army, navy and maritime com
mission.
The steel manufacturers immedi
ately put the government represent
atives on the defensive with the ques
tion: ’'Well, what do you want us
to do? Cut off all steel to the con
sumer?”
Price Administrator Henderson re
plied that such a curtailment would
be disastrous, that steel to the con
sumer could not be cut off right ,
away. Other government represent
atives hemmed and hawed. So did
the ship-builders. The meeting got
nowhere.
Finally Admiral Emory Land, rel
ative of ex-Colonel Lindbergh, but
no believer in his views, got up. 1

’T’ve been listening to you for 1

up with it. I don't know what the I
fault is, or whose fault it is. But I
do know that the shipyards are four

Next day the steel manufacturers
announced their plan to build new

White House press secretary Steve
Early kept it to himself, but pri
vately he was sore at the bungling
of Churchill-Roosevelt press rela

the result would have been different.
American editors resented the fact
that first news of the meeting broke
in London. A lot of other Ameri
cans resented the idea that news
about their own President had to
come via the British censor. Roose

to blame.
