LET’S HAVE AN ICE CREAM SOCIAL!
(See Recipes Below)
ICE CREAM 'N CAKE
Shining in their starched dresses,
the girls are ready "to recite their
pieces,” the boys, slicked and
combed, are watching them shyly,
and everyone *
waiting for re
freshment time
to come. Of
course, it's an
ice cream social,
that typically
American festi*
val to which
homemakers
bring their moat
delectable cakes and choicest ice
cream. There, too, you'll find lem
onade, “made in the shade by the
old maid."
There was a time when an ice
cream social, though as pleasant an
affair as you'd find on the summer
calendar, carried with it a great
deal of careful preparation. Ice
cream had to be kept in heavy con
tainers which in turn were wrapped
in blankets, and if the speeches and
program lasted too long it was
apt to be more melted than icy
when you were finally served. But
no longer do you have such a risk.
The ice cream can be stored in your
refrigerator and kept really hard.
Making ice cream with the freez
er method is fun, and usually the
whole family gets together to do
some at the cranking. The freezer
has a wooden or metal bucket hold
ing the ice and salt and a non
rusting metal container with a close
ly fitting cover for holding the mix
ture to be frozen. The mixture is
stirred by a paddle attached to the
crank which is operated by hand,
and sometimes by a small electric
motor.
Use three parts of ice to one part
of salt Turn the crank slowly at
first for about five minutes or until
the mixture stiffens, then as quickly
as possible until it is difficult to
turn. This takes about six minutes.
Add more ice and salt if necessary.
Pour off salt water, push down ice
and salt being careful to get none in
the can of ice cream.
Wipe top of can, uncover, take out
the paddle, and beat the frozen
mixture with a wooden spoon. Cover
can with wax paper, and pack
again. Let stand several hours to
ripen.
If you would be famous for your
ice creams and have them spoken
of well at the social, follow direc
tions to get the desirable smooth,
creamy triumphs. Ice cream free
from crystals and splinters will get
first prize every time.
'Vanilla Ice Cream.
(Makes 1V« quarts)
1V4 cups sweetened condensed
milk (15-oz. can)
2 cups thin cream
1 cup cold water
1 tablespoon vanilla
Blend thoroughly the sweetened
condensed milk, thin cream, cold
LYNN SAYS:
Did you know that:
Ice creams should stand sev
eral hours to blend or ripen the
many flavors combined in them?
Each flavor will stand out sepa
rately if the mixture is not prop
erly ripened.
Texture is affected by the
method of freezing? Ice cream
will be coarse and rough if frozen
too quickly, whereas slower
freezing improves texture. Be
fore putting the cream in the
freezer it should be properly
whipped or it will be icy.
Richer mixtures give smoother
textured ice creams? The
amount of fat in the cream also
affects the flavor. Richer ice
creams have full bodied flavor.
Ice cream expands? If the ice
cream is well made, it expands
to at least one-third more than
its original size, and that this
has an important bearing on fla
vor. If frozen too rapidly, ice
cream is prevented from increas
ing size.
Flavors should be lightly sug
gested, not pronounced? Amount
and quality of extracts used are
very apparent in the finished
product.

By LEMUEL F. PARTON
(Consolidated Features—WNU Service.)
NEW YORK. — Early in World
War I, Louis Raemaekers,
Dutch cartoonist, drew a cartoon
called “When the Grain Is Ripe.”
It showed
Raemaekers Ink Death ad
Horn Blasts at vancing with
Germans Continue hls sc.ythe’
reaping a
human harvest. Perhaps the only
other cartoon which has had com
parable range and staying-power
was Sir John Tenniel's “Dropping
the Pilot,” in Punch, or possibly
some of Thomas Nast’s pen Philippics
i against Tweed. If American views
had been evenly balanced in World
war days, Raemaekers’ cartoons
might have tipped the scales, so
powerful was their impact on our
public opinion, with their grim por
trayal of German brutality.
At 72, with no slackening of
pace or skill, or of his devastat
ing hatred of German aggres
sion, he renews his pictorial
blitzkrieg over here, just now
drawing posters for the Belgians
in Britain and other groups ral
lying against the Nazi on
slaught. He arrived here about
a year ago, his country a cap
tive, hls home and all other
possessions swept away in the
German lunge against which he
first began warning Holland in
1908. Through this stretch of
more than three decades, dur
ing wars and in between, he
never has faltered in his almost
daily portrayal of the deadly
menace of expanding Germany.
He is a small, compact, pink
cheeked man, looking much younger
than his years, with roached-back,
thinning hair, sharp blue eyes and
a shadowy goatee. Hi? mother was
German and his Dutch father was
for 40 years editor of the liberal
Weekly Volkvriend. He was for 32
years political cartoonist for the
Amsterdam Telegraph.
He speaks of himself as “writ
ing,” which aptly denotes his ability
to pack the content of a long and
powerful harangue into a bit of
black and white.
USUALLY, there’s quite a loss In
transmission when real life is
sluiced into the movies. The new
film. “Blossoms in the Dust,” seems
.... ~ to be an ex
Illusion Comes ception, at
To Terms With least so far
Reality in Picture as ^ deep
er and truer
Import of the film is concerned. The
critics score it high in sensitivity
and adult emotional content.
Mrs. Edna Gladney would
naturally come out that way In
a film. The widow of a Texas
flour manufacturer, she built the
Texas Children’s Home and Aid
society, which has now provided
happy homes for several thou
sand waifs. Her effort began
before the death of her husband,
a sublimation of her yearning
for children who never came.
The 1929 crash wrecked her hus
band's prosperous business. He
got work in a flour mill. She
rang door bells to get money to
build her home for children. He
developed a new process of
flour-milling which was restor
ing their fortune, when he died.
She kept on recruiting and
mothering stray children, until
one day a Hollywood writer
knocked on her door in Fort
Worth.
“What on earth could anybody
write about me?" she asked.
The movies ranged clear back into
her girlhood, as Edna Kahly in Mil
waukee.
Nikola teslas eighty-fifth
birthday finds his death ray still
in the blueprint stage. The great
inventor says he could build a few
plants, at a cost of $2,000,000 each,
within three months, and melt the
engine of any approaching plane at
a distance of hundreds of miles.
The immigrant youth from
Jugoslavia already had discov
ered the rotary magnetic field,
which made possible alternating
current motors, before he ar

When he grows too old to dream,
I he'll have this and many other
things to remember. Among other
things he may remember that many
of his earlier dreams caused amuse
me.:it—as when he made the declara
tion that it would soon be possible
to telephone around the world.
Alone in his room in the Hotel
New Yorker, he still delves deep in
the hidden chambers of electro
mechanics, his deep-set eyes eager
and intense under their bushy
brows. Wireless transmission of
power is still one of his many deep
I preoccupations.

Krug new power czar
in interests of national
defense ... *Co-Ordina
tion needed in defense
program.
(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
WASHINGTON. — A man worth
watching for the next year is J. A.
Krug, who is the really important
figure so far as electric power is
concerned in the Oflice of Produc
tion Management.
The importance of his job is only
part of the reason why he will bear
j watching. His job virtually is to run
the distribution of electricity in this
| country, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coasts. It will be Krug, as
long as he holds his present job,
who will determine whether "A” can
have as much power as he wants for
his plant, and possibly to get more
for him—or to decide that "A” is
not entitled to but half or perhaps
none of what be is now using or
wants to use.
In other words, Krug is by way
of being the power czar of this coun
try, in the interest of national de
fense.
Now comes why Krug was ap
pointed. He was eased into his pres
ent place primarily by David E.
Lilienthal, of the Tennessee Valley
authority, with some assistance in
the push from Leland Olds, chair
man of the Federal Power commis
sion.
He is now being backed in his job
by those two rather astute gentle
men, not so much because they love
him as because they do not want
something else. The something else
is Harold L. Ickes. Ickes wants to
be power czar, and is reaching for
control of TVA as well as all the
other public power projects in the
land.
Another Scrap
For Lilienthal
Lilienthal is by way of having his
second big scrap INSIDE the ad
ministration. His first was with Ar
thur E. Morgan, but Morgan was
thrown out. There were plenty of
fireworks, and Lilienthal did not
emerg j unscathed, but he won, and
in winning he finally had Franklin
D. Roosevelt in his corner, which
would make it bad for any opponent.
This time he is by no means cer
tain of having F.D.R. in his corner.
Nobody is sure what the President
would do—whom he would favor.
Harold Ickes has always been
strong with the President, but he
has not won all of his fights which
were taken to the White House for
settlement by any means. His
great strength at the White House
has always been, however, that he
seems, to F.D.R. if not to anybody
else, to be such a good loser.
But Lilienthal and Olds have won
the first round. They have got Lilien
thal’s man Krug in the key position
so far as control of electricity is
concerned.
Almost *Ickes Man'
At One Time
He came near being an Ickes man
—once. Ickes wanted him to take
charge of Bonneville, after J. D.
Ross died.
“I don’t want it,” Krug is report
ed to have said.
“Well, I think the President will
draft you,” Ickes is reported to
have said with a smile.
"Before you start anything on
that,” Krug is then alleged to have
remarked, "you better find out how
I would like to run Bonneville.”
Ickes asked some questions, and
found that Krug did not believe
much in bureaucratic control from
Washington.
Krug was not "drafted.”

Defense Co-Ordination
Seems Urgent Need
Sick as many of us are of the
very word “co-ordination,” and tired
as we may be of hearing of the ap
pointment of some new co-ordinator
to do this or that, it would appear
that there are a few spots where co
ordination might be applied, and sit
uations which intelligent activity by
a co-ordinator might correct. All of
which, of course, is with respect to
the national defense situation.
On the very serious side there is
the rivalry between OPM—the Of
fice of Production Management,
headed by the famous pair of "ad
visers” William S. Knudsen and Sid
ney Hillman—and OPAX, headed by
Leon Henderson.
OPAX believes that OPM is head
ed for the discard, and that OPAX
will eventually take over its func
tions. OPM naturally regards OPAX
as a perhaps necessary but certain
ly unpleasant evil.
Neither has any real power. That
all comes from the President. Usu
ally the President regards every
problem as in the "study stage,”
another favorite expression of
F.D.R.. until it is brought to him for
final decision.
That is why, of course, there has
i been no duplication of what Wood
1 row Wilson did in the last war,
when Bernard M. Baruch was ap
pointed chairman of the War In
dustries board and given wide pow
ers. At the time there was quite
a bit of criticism of Baruch, natural
ly, but in retrospect, and especially
in comparison, the job he did then
looks pretty grand.
NEW IDEAS
By RUTH WYETH SPEAKS —
applique design on fabric under
sZSs&A
I" THICK |
IT ALL started with a bright idea
* for making a simple, painted
coffee table from odds and ends
of lumber. The sketch at the low
er left gives the dimensions. The
two end sections were made first;
the top and sides of these being
screwed together with 1-inch met
al angles. A shelf was then nailed
in and a Vi by 3-inch board nailed
across the back of it. Two boards
for the top of the table were then
screwed to the end sections.
Now the needle-lady comes in.
The table was to be painted putty
color and then waxed. She bought
a yard of slightly darker tan sateen
and appliqued a design of bright
blue and red morning glories and
green leaves on it with stems and
tendrils in green outline stitch.
This was placed over the table
top and tacked around the edge.
A piece of window glass was then
cut to fit and Vz by 3-inch pieces
were screwed to the sides.

sign is so attractive that Mrs. Spears has
arranged to furnish transfer patterns to
be used in stamping fabric for a table
