Toasted Bunnies Parade for This Easter Dinner!
(See Recipes Below)
Easter Time
Aa gay aa red tulipa with food as
fresh and appealing as spring itself
la the Easter dinner menu I have
planned for you
today. It’s aimple
and economical
as is in keeping
with the times,
but with spring
like accents that
lurk in the fra
grant mint leaves,
spring lamb, green peas, crisp,
bright salad and in the distinctive
ice cream.
With Easter on the wing, winter
is definitely on the way out, and
our thoughts naturally turn to light
er foods and delicate, pastel table
settings. For Easter brings out your
loveliest white cloths or pastel yel
lows. As flowers jonquils make an
inexpensive but effective center
piece. Or, for something more dra
matic, try red tulips in the center of
the bowl banked on all sides by white
snapdragons.
•Leg of Lamb Roast.
The paper thin covering or "fell”
on your leg of lamb does not affect
the flavoring of the cut and need not
be removed until just before serv
ing. In fact, when left on, it keeps
the roast in better shape, cooks more
quickly and keeps the juices well
within the meat.
Mix V4 teaspoon salt, V« teaspoon
pepper, 1 tablespoon dry mustard.
3 tablespoons flour with tfe cup cold
water. Spread this over the leg of
lamb. Roast uncovered in a mod
erately slow (325-degree) oven 30 to
35 minutes to the pound. Spread
with currant jelly the last 20 min
utes. Baste m%at every 15 minutes.
Apricot Garnish.
Use canned halves of apricots
or stewed halves, well chilled. Place
a nugget of mint Jelly in the center
and serve around the leg of lamb
roast.
A touch of red is a hard color to
resist especially if it's in a crispy,
zestful salad as this one:
•Cranberry Apple Salad.
(Serves 6)
1 package lemon gelatin
1 enp boiling water
M of a pound can of cranberry
sauce
1 apple
H orange
1 teaspoon lemon Juice
Dissolve the gelatin in boiling wa
ter and chill until thickened. Crush
cranberry sauce.
Lynn Says:
The Easter dinner 1 planned for
you is economical but doubly so
because you can make good use
of the leftovers.
Cut the remainder of the roast
off the bone, grind it with a fine
grinder, H onion, the potatoes and
green peas. Place in a buttered
dish, bake until heated. During
the last seven minutes of baking
break eggs whole on top of lamb
mixture and serve as soon as
eggs have cooked.
If you have just a little of the
cranberry apple salad left, cut it
into small cubes and serve as a
relish. For salad, use leftover
apricots from the roast garnish
and fill the center with cream
cheese and nuts and serve in let
tuce cups with your favorite
dressing.
If you have a few leftover green
peas from dinner toss them to
gether with a few carrots, shred
ded for a change. You can cream
these, or mix them with a few
bits of crumbled bacon. For va
riation you might try a few tiny
boiled onions with the leftover
peas to make enough for a vege
table dish.
Rolls though leftover go over
well even the next day. You can
slice, toast and butter them. If
you like them whole, simply put
in a covered casserole with a few
drops of water and allow a few
minutes to heat through.
Dessert? This is easy Spoon
the ice cream on vanilla wafers,
top with another wafer, more ice
cream until all is used. Chill for
an hour or so and serve sliced
with a dab of whipped cream if
desired.

Crusty, fragrant honey rolls are

dinner. No need to worry about

such as this are minus sugar and
only a small amount of fat and one
egg. Rolled and cut to look like a

leg o' lamb, peas and mint jelly

is perfect foil, guaranteed to please,
in this creamy, quickly prepared ice
cream No sugar required!

the bread with a bunny-shaped cook
ie cutter. Spread all sides of the
cutouts with sweetened condensed
milk, then roll in dry, shredded co
conut, broken fine. Brown under
broiler at low heat, watching very
carefully, or toast over coals if you
prefer by placing the bunnies on a
fork. These taste like coconut frost
ed angel food.

WHO’S

VJEW YORK.—We have mislaid

sense of his
General Fought 4 toricity,
Wars ; Commanded looking stu

not pensive
ly, backward as well as forward.
Brig. Gen. William H. Bisbee, tak
ing a bow this day as the oldest
man in the new Who’s Who in Amer
ica, suggests this salutary exercise.
He was 102 last January 28. He
fought in four wars, and the story
of what he and his country have
been through gives a hint that per
haps somebody smuggled a rabbit’s
foot into that arcanum of the nation
al archives at Washington.
"Filthy days of war,” the genera)
once wrote, "walking through creeks
barelegged to save our tattered
clothes."
He enlisted In the Civil war
after Bull Run, when Washing
ton was somewhat less orderly
and rational than a squirrel
cage. He knew not only mud,
rags and tatters, but the stark
horrors of blood and hunger,
weariness and desperation, and
the maddening disorder of bu
reaucracy and graft in Washing
ton.
For 25 years, after 1865, he fought
Indians, along the trails out from
Leavenworth and pulled 100 arrows
from the body of his fallen friend
99 for torture and one for a vital
spot—an old Indian custom. In the
Pangasinian province in the Philip
pines, he trailed guerrillas through
jungle slime, and caught and hanged
30 of them. That rounded out his
four wars—Civil, Indian, Spanish
American and Philippine Insurrec
tion.
, In 1900 President Theodore Roose
velt made him a brigadier general,
and he retired the next year, to
coast along through serene and sun
ny years in his native New England,
at Brookline, Mass. He is a hand
some, white-bearded, soldierly old
gentleman, honored on each birth
day by a representation from the
war department at his party.
He was born and reared in
Woonsocket, R. I., and was a
young merchant of Delaware,
Ohio, when he answered Lin
coln's call. In addition to Lin
coln, his army commissions
were signed by Presidents John
son, Cleveland, McKinley and
Theodore Roosevelt.

backed
down a lot
on hard and
fast prin
ciples, in
his later books, but he never quit
trying. That was early in the Sev
enteenth century. The Dutch car
ried on from where he left off and
pretty much put their trade mark
on international law.
Premier Peter Gerbrandy of the
Netherland government in exile, ex
pounded and amplified Grotius, as
professor of international law at the
University of Amsterdam. He now
says the Dutch not only will keep
on writing law but will keep on
fighting the lawless, in their low
lands home or in the Pacific island
jungles. He is a devout Christian
who professes an unshakeable be
lief that the word, bravely defended,
becomes flesh.
The professor was never con
spicuous in affairs of state until
a year or two before the Nazis
came. He sounded many warn
ings of trouble ahead and when
it came, disclosed amazing ca
pacity for quick and effective ac
tion, always a jump ahead of
the supposedly practical men.
He pulled together the all
inclusive coalition • government
and became the head of ten min
istries, representing five closely
knit parties. He was the big
surprise which bad times so
often bring forth.
He is no ascetic, but, instead
drinks good Holland gin and smokes
good cigars, being a connoisseur of
such commodities and a foe of sump
tuary legislation. He is a plump,
agile, rosy, roly-poly little man,
who likes to argue and philoso
phize and have a good time at one
and the same time.
A pipe addict was reproved by a
critic. "Smoking a pipe will de
stroy your memory, turn you to
mediation rather than action, and
make you altogether useless," he said.
"Can you imagine Adolf Hitler
smoking a pipe, fading the house
in a crap game, or fetching a long
swipe in the German equivalent of
Sweet Adeline?" asked the pipe
smoker. "No, you can’t. No sea
soned pipe-smoker ever started a
war and none ever will. Grim,
sadistic ascetics like Hitler start
wars because they never had a good
time and want to get even."

NATIONAL
AFFAIRS
Rtvitwtd by
CARTER FIELD
Roosevelt's Attitude on
‘Unified Command' . ..
Sea Otters for Light
Shipping Not Yet in
Production . . .
(Bell Syndicate—WNU Service.)
WASHINGTON. — The President
takes seriously the fact that under
the Constitution he is commander-in
chief of the army and navy. It may
be for that reason that he does not
take kindly to the notion of a de
partment of national defense, to
include army, navy and air force,
as advocated by Senator Bennett
Champ Clark of Missouri and oth
ers.
The President’s theory is that
there is a '‘unified command” al
Senator Clark
ready, which is
himself. Natural
ly he is fairly
well satisfied with
that, and consid
ers the insertion
of another execu
tive between the
present organiza
tions and himself
just the addition
of that much un
necessary organi
zation, with no re
sulting advan
tages to be had for the U. S.
There is much to be said for his 1
position. But there is also some- !
thing to be said against it, though
there is nothing new on either side
of the argument.
The sharpest objection lies in our
own form of government. Conceiv
ably a man might make a fine Presi
dent in all other respects, but not
be a military genius. It is not
fashionable to belittle Abraham Lin
coln, or even to hint that he was
not the essence of perfection in ev
ery respect. However, the fact re
mains that as commander-in-chief of
the armed forces of the Union he
blundered around for practically
the first three years of the war, try
ing one general after another until
in Grant, Sherman and Sheridan he
found the right prescription.
President: Military Strategist
But the President of the United
States is elected tor a fixed term.
Nothing can be done no matter how
inept he may prove himself as a di
rector of military strategy. In
deed, it is most unlikely that his
ABILITY as a strategist would be
the issue even when he goes to the
country, at the end of a four-year
term, in the midst of a war.
Thus when Abraham Lincoln faced
George B. McClellan in the 1864
election the main issue was not that
McClellan, as a soldier, would make
a better war President than Lin
coln, as would have been a logical
enough campaign talking-point, but
whether the war should be continued
at all.
The Pacifists of that day wanted
to stop the war and have peace.
As they proposed that McClellan, if
elected, should make peace, natur
ally they did not bother much to
stress his qualifications as a mili
tary leader for continuing the war.
On the President’s side in the
present controversy, it is unthink
able to have a war President who
would not have the right to appoint
whom he pleased as head of the
“unified command" should there be
one, just as he has the right and
power now to name the secretaries
of war and the navy and the gen
erals and admirals who shall direct
the high strategy. So the President
would not be divested of responsi
bility.
Realizing which, the President
prefers to operate without the added
office of Unified Command.
Small Ships Would Release
Larger Ones for War Work
Information as to what has hap
pened to the Sea Otter is an experi
ence as human as a man’s liking to
wear old clothes, or a woman want
ing a new hat. It is the same type
of thing which leads a city man,
who has kept a few chickens in his
back yard, to quit his job and start
trying to make his living with a
chicken farm.
Here was a very good idea for
small craft, to supply a crying
need for coastwise and short
distance water transportation,
and which would Release regular
ships now in that sort of service
for more important war work.
So the naval designers get hold
of it, and immediately begin to
improve it. They saw how' they
could make the sea otters big
ger, make them carry more.
They began to think about using
them in the transatlantic war
supplies ferry service.
As a result the idea, very good for
; its original purposes, has gotten no- !
; where. Naturally, with the enlarge-1
ment of the proposed ships, they I
drew more water. That made them, |
as the President pointed out, un
available for the sort of ports for j
which they had originally been de
signed. Also, with the added notion
of their crossing the Atlantic, or
making similar long voyages, came
the question of danger if sufficient
supplies of gasoline were taken.
So we have no sea otters 1
