(S et Recipes Below) Picnic Plans W H E N YOU PLAN an outing. ” good food that will please everyone has to be part of the pic­ nic plan. In addition to this, have a “packable” lunch that you can carry in a shopping bag, string sack, bandana or hamper. The less preparation you have at the picnic grounds where everyone will be famish­ ing, the better w i l l be th e lunch. If y o u want to cook the hamburgers or ribs or frank­ furters on an outdoor g r i l l , that’s all to the good, since this whets appetite to a tantalizing sharpness. However, if you have to wash fruits and vegetables, and pare or scrape them when you get there, this may seem like some­ thing of a chore. These are things that can be done much more easily at home.

Sen. Claude Pepper of Florida, a leading sponsor of health Insurance, reports he has received hundreds of the stereotyped cards. Some also have been mailed to President Truman. One sender, whose wife recently underwent an operation, wrote Pep­ per that he was ‘‘compelled’’ by the doctor performing the operation to fill out and sign the card. An­ other reported that he feared he would “antagonize my doctor and nurse" if he didn't comply with their wishes. Old Soldiers Five hundred forgotten soldiers, who survived past wars but are victims of old age, are waiting to get into the National Soldiers' Home at Washington. D.C. But there's no room. Those on the inside would like to make room by building new quarters. They have plenty of money—33 million dollars, every cent contributed through the years by enlisted men. But the money is held in trust by the treasury de­ partment, and the ex-soldiers can't get it out without an act of con­ gress. Though this money belongs to the soldiers and not the taxpayers, the buget bureau has turned down a request to release 16 million 700,000 dollars to expand the soldiers' home. The bureau’s recommenda­ tion has Influenced eongress to refuse use of the funds—despite the fact that the soldiers* home hasn’t been expanded since 1911.
