Soup Favorite Dish
For Every Weather;
Here’s How It’s Done
Soup is an easy way to have
lunch quickly for youngsters who
come home to eat. Soup may be
made ahead of time, reheated and
served easily with sandwiches or
salad for a well-balanced lunch.
Soup making is one of the old
est of cooking arts known to the
homemaker, and though we do not
serve it as often as did our ances
tors, a fragrant bowl of soup on
a brisk cool day has lost none of
its charm.
We like soup for many reasons.
First of all, there's its delicious
aroma and its good, filling qual
ity.
If your serve
a hearty soup,
you need little
else with it, per
haps just a salad
and light des
sert. Soups are
especially noted
for nourishment. Meats and vege
tables they have plentifully; and
if it’s a cream soup you are serv
ing, well, that’s an easy way to
get milk and cream into the diet.
Soup is a good filler-upper if
you feed a hungry crowd of men
who work out-of-doors all day
long. It’s also a good stimulant
for thhe appetite.
Soups made with quantities of
milk are especially fine to serve
for luncheon if you have children.
They’re easy to make and you
don’t have to worry if the young
sters are a little late in getting
home because soup is easy to keep
hot, and will not spoil with a bit
of extra cooking.

LYNN SAYS:
How to Serve Soup: If you
are serving a thin soup, the
proper dish is a two-handled
cup of some sort. This is used
because it is quite correct for
people to lift them up and drink
the soup.
Hearty soups such as chow
ders are served in soup plates,
bowls or marmites. Never serve
a chowder as a first course be
cause it is much too heavy a
soup for this type of eating.
Cream soups may be cor
rectly served as a first course,
as our thin soup, but do not
make the servings too gener
ous or the remainder of the
dinner will go begging.
If the soup is to be served
hot, it must be piping hot.
Make sure the family is ready
to come to dinner before dish
ing it out.
Chilled soups are good on
warm nights, and may be
served in the two - handled
dishes suggested above.
Accompaniments f o r soup
should be small and dainty, at
tractively served on small
plates with doilies.

CTION of the 81$t congress to
time indicates to your
Home Town Reporter that there is
little vestige of party responsibility
left in the congress. As a m atter of
fact the vote on the Rankin veter-
ans pension bill indicates there is
little courage or personal responsi
bility. at least in the face of retalia-
tion by powerful groups.
On the Rankin bill here’s what
happened. On one motion which
would have killed the bill on a
standing vote, the house voted 154
to 139 to kill the measure. On a
teller vote on another motion which
would also have killed it, they
voted 163 to 154 to kill it. But not
an hour later when they were put
on a spot for an official vote which
would go in the Congressional
Record, they flip-flopped and re
fused to kill the bill 223 to 187.
Then the next day, after a few
heads had been cracked and two
members changed their vote, the
house by a 208 to 207 tally, voted to
send the bill back to committee,
which although it does not actually
kill the bill, definitely defers ac
tion.

The whole question is—How
sick is America and can individ
uals afford to pay for It? One
survey shows that on any given
day at least seven million
Americans are absent from
their work because of some ill
ness or disability. Lack of medi
cal care and proper facilities
for care are most flagrant in
rural areas. The taxpayers are
now paying something like two
billion dollars a year on health
with little improvement. The
proposed national health bill is
offered as a media for improv
ing health, providing for media
of payment and a substitute for
much of the money now being
expended. The medical associa
tion has belatedly offered a
plan of its own which would In
clude a department of health
with cabinet status. It is not
likely to pass.
F i s h chowders are hearty
enough to serve with just a salad,
preferably fruit, and a light des
