'1 PAGE TWO MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1943. Swedes Regard Safe-Conduct Ships as Gifts From Heaven By Ltnnart Strld (United Press Staff Correspondent) Stockholm (U.R) In peacetime ships come and go from the most distant parts of the world and nobody pays much atten tion except the firms who receive the cargoes and the sailors who work on board. Today it is quite different. When a ship from non-European ports arrives in Gothenburg all Sweden hears about it and everyone is happy because he knows It may mean increased rations or at least that the present rations will remain at status quo." Not lone ago it was reDorted that a safe-conduct ship was on its way with a cargo of tobacco. Every smoker rejoiced when he thought of the fine American mixtures that soon would find their way to his pipe and great was the disappointment when it was reported that the tobacco was not to be "wasted" on smokers but should be used in the war against bugs and other insects that threaten the fruit harvest. Safe-conduct shipping is of the greatest importance to the Swedish food situation, which may be best unjrstood by i look at imports before the war: In 1937 imports amounted to 19,000,000 tons, of which about 60 per cent consisted of coal and coke. Of the imports from transoceanic countries more than 800,000 were food, concentrated fodder and fertilizers. About 100,000 tons consisted of wheat, rye and oats, and about 170,000 tons of corn. More than 60,000 tons of fat were imported that year, plus considerable quanti ties of fodder and vegetable fats, altogether 100,000 tons. Other foodstuffs that were regu larly imported from the coun tries beyond the seas are: Rice, sugar, American pork, coffee, cocoa, tea, tinned provisions, spice and fruit. Coffee was one of the most important articles of importa tlon before the war. The Swedes are extremely fond of coffee, which has been the na tional beverage in Sweden for many years. In 1837, 80,000 tons of coffee were shipped to Sweden, which means eight kilo grams for each person the largest per capita consumption of coffee in the world. Besides foodstuffs, many other articles were imported from the west, such as mineral oils to a quantity of more than 1,000,000 tons; chemicals, hides, furs, cot ton, lead, copper, etc. From these figures it may be well understood how vital the contact with the transoceanic countries is to Sweden and it is easy to imagine what difficulties arose when the blockade began. Private firms and the foreign office succeeded, after overcom ing many obstacles, In coming to an. agreement with both belli gerent parties, and on one of the 'last days of 1940 the first safe-conduct ship entered the harbor of Gothenburg with a cargo of beans, coffee, fats, etc. From that day the safe-conduct shipping has continued rather satisfactorily. The total import of food increased compared with the previous year by 60 per cent, to 380 million kroner. Still, It has never been pos sible to count upon safe-conduct shipping when making provision plans. Instead the ships have been regarded as gifts from heaven and it is always remem bered that the traffic could sud denly stop without warning. Normally about 500 ship ments a year came to Sweden, whereas safe-conduct shipping last year brought about 60 car goes. This means that safe- conduct, when it is at its best, represents only from lu to Jo per cent of normal snipping. The limitations in the number of cargoes makes it necessary to choose the goods with the ut most care. Moreover, it is not only the Swedish government that is interested in tne com' position of the cargoes. Both belligerents have to give their consent to each shipment and the supply or lack of goods in the exporting country is natur ally also decisive. The main principle when composing the safe-conduct car goes is "greatest value in the smallest space," and value is not reckoned In gold out. in need. ' , It has cost much work and many sacrifices to keep this con tact open. Several Swedish shlDs have been lost. Last year three big cargo ships were sunk and this year there have already been two losses.- medium to cod owl, S12.00el3.7S. Sheep. 800. Undertone steady.

Buy some today.- . H M IT'S ONI THING to brew a- potAof coffee and it's another to use cotfee as the principal theme in feeding and en tertaining a group of people. But with Just the slightest amount of ingenuity you can do that very thing with bnl Jiant success. I'm thinking of such problems as: tak ing care Of a group of Red Cross work ers, or the war-working woman who wants to entertain some friends of a Sunday morning, or aft informal mid day meeting of P.- T. A. members. Recently I took another trip down into the heart of that hospitable state, Texas. And I had the warm pleasure of being a guest at just such a "morning , coffee party" which Btarted about eleven-thirty, - f . The whole affair was on the order of a "brunch," so that late workers could consider it a breakfast and early risers would make it a lunch. When I investigated the details, later . (my curiosity is never satisfied) I dis covered that the whole thing had been contrived simply and in a short time. . The menu was as follows: Baked Chicken Hash with ' Rip Ollvt Sauce Broiled Tomato Halv Hot Corn Muffins , .. ! Currant Jelly ; Old-Fashioned Gingerbread . , nd Coffee -';' The gingerbread tasted so good with the coffee I asked my hostess for the recipe. Here it is:: OLD-FASHIONED GINGERBREAD 2t cups enriched tap. cloves ' ' flour Vt euP shortening 3 tsps. baking powder 3 cup sugar !4tsp. soda 2 eggs Vt tap. lt 1 cup molasses 1 tap. ginger 1 oup boiling 1 tap. cinnamon water Sift flour, measure; sift again with bak- : ing powder, soda, salt and spices. Cream shortening; gradually add sugar, creaming until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately add molasses and flour mixture, beating until smooth. Add boiling water and stir until com bined. Bake in well-greased drip pan (9M12x2) in moderate oven (350' F), 45 minutes' or until done. Serve warm or cold,, plain, with cheese topping, wedges of cheese or warm with a fruit sauce. Serves 12.' Of course there are "evening coffee affairs" when guests come after they have had their dinner all but dessert i and you serve coffee and any dessert you want.
