THE COVERED DISH CHURCH SUPPER
(See Recipes Below)
As I sit here thinking about church
suppers, my mind wanders back
several years to the suppers I at
tended in my old home town. There
was always a feeling of congeniali
ty, of hospitality and fellowship. The
annual church supper was some
thing that couldn’t be, and wouldn’t
be, missed.
Many times it was a covered dish
supper. There was usually a great
variety of food. The menu was di
vided up into the main dish, the sal
ad, the bread and butter, and the
dessert. Each lady of the church
was made responsible for one item
of the menu; and she, no doubt, pre
pared her own favorite recipe.
Can you pass a table containing a
tempting assortment of foods with
out wanting at
least a taste of
everything? Can
you decide wheth- 1
er or not you
want the coconut
cream pie which
Is heaped with
fluffy whipped a
cream, or me
rich-looking chocolate cake with the
thick fudge icing, when you know
that you are entitled to only one des
sert? Of course not! Instead of hav
ing such a wide selection of food for
a covered dish supper, why not plan
a well-balanced menu so that every
one gets exactly the same?

Now he has progressed to full

mercial and cultural relations be
tween the United States and other
Western hemisphere nations. Cur
rently he is in the news as he ap
points John Hay Whitney to his staff,
to take care of motion picture de
tails of the above co-ordinating.
I remember talking to one of
h|s teachers at Lincoln school,
New York. She said Nelson was
good material for progressive
education, as he had a way of
getting on with people. He was
a good student, too, romping so
far ahead of schedule at Dart
mouth that they gave him his
senior year ofl. He devoted It
to a wanderjahr, in which he
went to India and had a long
chat with Mahatma Gandhi, and
studied photography. Taking up
the rich man's burden, he de
voted himself mainly to the fam
ily real estate, becoming presi
dent of Rockefeller Center,
which, incidentally, Is. one of the
most successful feats of com
mercial and cultural co-ordina
tion in the world.
Mr. Rockefeller, born in Bar Har
bor, Maine, in 1907, is tall, blonde
and reticent, an abstainer from al
cohol and tobacco, always deeply in
earnest. With his manifold business
interests he combines a careful and
diligent trusteeship of the Museum
of Modern Art. This department
can’t help but feel a bit doubtful
about co-ordinating commerce and
the arts—unless there is a John
Masefield around to write a poem
like ’’Cargoes."
KING BORIS of Bulgaria is doing

Cinderella kingdom, but things don’t
look so good. He reviews troops

King Boris Would t a n k s and
Rather Be ‘Casey guns around
Jones of Balkans’ ^e^’a hint
that he is just making himself a
lot of unnecessary trouble. As a
king, he never did have his heart
in his work.
He has a passion for trains
and never misses a chance to
drive a locomotive. Engines fill
his life and bis dreams. When
his father, Ferdinand, abdicated
in 1918, the young man insisted
that he be allowed to go to
America and be a railroad engi
neer, but his father forbade it.
Ascetic in appearance, always of
seemly behavior, he moved immacu
lately through Balkan wars, revolu
tions and internecine dogfights. Fer
dinand had apprenticed him to a
versatile fighting man in 1912, when
he was only 18 years old. He fought
dutifully, but seemed always to be
listening for the whistle of old 97.
coming round the bend.
His wardrobe, one of the best in
Europe, runs mainly to pinstripes.
He is a nimble dancer, good at all
such orthodox sports as boar-hunt
ing and timber-topping, but aroused
and eager only when he has his
hand on the throttle of a locomotive.
In 1930, he married the Prin
cess Glovanna of Italy. This al
liance was regarded, among oth
er dynastic ties, as a stabilizing
and safeguarding influence for
his kingdom, but now seems of
small account. In 1934, internal
stress led the king to set up a
dictatorship, by a military coup.
It didn’t help much. About 80
per cent of the exports of Bul
garia continued to go to totali
tarian countries, and it came
more and more under their
thrall. The king flirted with Rus
sia for a while, with no gratify
ing results. He has been in fre
quent peril of assassination—
and nothing seems to matter
much, since they won’t let him
be a railroad engineer.
IN 1935, he lost his job selling oil
burners when the company fold
ed up. Julia, his wife, said, "Now's
1 your chance to do some of that sing
ing you were always going to do.”
So he piped up right away and sang
his way right through to the dotted
line on a Metropolitan Opera con
tract. That's young Arthur Kent,
one of the ten new singers booked
this season at the Met. He began
singing in cafes and churches and
then got 46 weeks in “I Married an

Deletion of newsreel

papers supported Will

(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
WASHINGTON. — Censorship is
something wonderful in Chicago.
The lads know all the ropes. They
not only use censorship of movies
and newsreels to suppress what they
do not want, but they can give that
famous old Boston board of elders
cards and spades, because they
know how to use censorship to ad
vertise something they want boost
ed!
Everybody remembers what a
grand deal the old Boston censors
of a few years back gave certain
salacious books, for one thing, and
the articles of Henry L. Mencken
was then writing in his magazine,
for another
Mencken worked the thing as a
racket. He would call the attention
of the censdrs. by some sort of pub
licity, to the audacity of something
he had written in his magazine.
Then the censors would bar the sale
of that issue in Boston. Whereupon
in every hamlet in the United States
folks would read about this article
that had caused the suppression of
the magazine in the "Hub.” Of
course, everybody who read this was
curious to know just what it was
that had been suppressed, and some
of them would actually buy the mag
azine to find out.
CENSORS BOOSTED SALES
But the publicity did not stop
there. Mencken would thereupon in
duce some youngsters in Boston to
sell the magazine on the streets in
defiance of the censors’ ruling.
They would be arrested, and there
would be another story. When you
consider that the magazine Henry
was then publishing was one of com
paratively small circulation, it is not
unlikely that several times he tripled
its circulation merely by getting the
censors to blacklist that particular
edition.
There fs no evidence that any of
the publishers of salacious books
used the same method, though it is
certain that they profited by it
whether intentionally or not.
The point ot all this is that the
Chicago censors a few weeks back
suppressed for Chicago showing a
movie in which close political friends
of the organization here are inter
ested. After a nine-day wonder, in
which every newspaper in Chicago
joined in the clamor, the movie was
released—with more publicity than
any movie had received in this area
since "Gone With the Wind.”
More recently the Chicago police
censors deleted from a newsreel at
tacks on the Kelly-Nash machine
here by Dwight Green. Republican
candidate for senator, and by Wen
dell Willkie. This time they mis
fired a little. The resulting publicity
caused an immediate restoration of
the cuts!
WILLKIE SUPPORTED
It is rather interesting that the
New Deal attacks on Wendell Will
kie did not go to the merits of gov
ernment versus private ownership of
the electric industry, but confined
themselves almost exclusively to the
fact that Willkie companies fought
the TVA, and in particular that they
used questionable means and meth-*
ods in fighting a public ownership
referendum in the city of Chatta
nooga, Tenn.
It is also interesting that most of
the people who ought to know about
the details of these various fights did
not seem to take these criticisms of
Willkie very seriously.
In the state of Tennessee the eight
outstanding newspapers, according
to a recent survey by Time maga
zine, are: Memphis Commercial Ap
peal, Memphis Press-Scimitar, Chat
tanooga Times, Chattanooga Free
Press, Knoxville News - Sentinel,
Knoxville Journal, Nashville Ban
ner, Nashville Tennessean.
Of these eight newspapers, all but
one, the Nashville Tennessean, ad
vocated the election of Willkie. It
is interesting to note, also, that
the Tennessean, the only one of the
eight which is for Roosevelt, was in
trouble recently, was aided by fed
eral funds, and is now being run
by Silliman Evans.
PROMINENT DEMOCRAT
Evars is a fairly young news
paper man who came to Washington
from the Southwest shortly before
the New Deal came into power. He
was given a place as fourth assist
ant postmaster general under James
A. Farley. Later, when the federal
government began to have some
thing to say about the operations of
the. Maryland Casualty Co., he was
put in virtual charge of that Balti
more concern. Still later he became
head of the Tennessean.
The whole point of this is that all
the outstanding newspapers in Ten
nessee, which by any stretch of the
imagination could be said to be un
controlled by the federal govern
ment, were for Willkie, although this
is the state in which most of Will
kie’s spectacular opposition to the
TVA and government operation cen
tered.
