It's Fun To Work
On "Food Committee"
Sooner or later, every willing
and able member of any school
class or organization of any kind
will be asked to serve on the
Food Committee. It will soon be
the big season for this sort of
thing. It's fun to help with the
food and every leader or presi
dent loves volunteers. So if you
really like food and fun, volun
teer- to take over the food ar
rangements or to help.
An increasing number of boys
and men enjoy working on the
Food Committee. If you are
Chairman of Food, select a plan
ning committee. . Then proceed
along these lines.

to be purchased. Give thought to
time of day, season of the year,
place feeding is to be done, age
group and known preferences.
Know the amount of money you
have to spend or are allowed to
charge. Check carefully the
number to be served. Avoid dif
ficult or complicated foods.
Know limitations of available
cooking equipment, dishes, linen
and silver.
Plan menu with attractive,
harmonious colors and arrange
ment with a good balance be
tween soft and solid foods and
contrast in flavor and textures
Be sure recipes are reliable and
then follow them. This is no time
for experimenting. '
2. Appoint three committees:
Preparation Committee. Give
them detailed menu and recipes.
Go over their working proced
ure carefully. Be sure they know
their time sohedule so hot foods
will be hot: cold foods, cold!

Beer Price War
Looms in Dakota
Mandan, N. D. (U.R) That
hallmark of the depression, the
nickel beer, threatened Friday
to turn this small city into the
scene of a price war.
Joe Wetzstein, who owns two
taverns here started serving the
fiye cent brew between 3 p.m.
and 4 p.m. early this week and
Thursday extended the deadline
to 6 p.m.
But one rival Mandan tavern
keeper was reported to have said
that if Wetzstein sells it for five
cents he'll give it away during
the same time.
Beer lovers rubbed their
hands in anticipation of an old
fashioned price war- in which
they could hardly lose.
