Refreshments for the Class of ’42!
(See Recipes Below.)
Commencement Time
There'* a last-minute flurry of
hair brushing and straightening of
ties as Jane and
Billy get ready
for their gradua
tion exercises.
Yes, this is real
ly the year the
children are get
i ting through with
. school. It’s hard
to believe, isn’t
it? It seems like
Just yesterday
that they started school!
Your role is tMt of sitting back
and beaming at their accomplish
ments, but, just as important, pro
viding the children with a party and
refreshments after commencement.
Simplest way of taking care of
refreshments is setting up a table
in the porch or dining room. Then
fill this with assorted breads and
cold cuts, add a few relishes for
good measure, and you have the
makings of a successful party. The
informality of this setting will please
the children, and at the same time
relieve you of extra serving. Let
the children help themselves and
take their own time about it, for
there will be plenty of conversation
to go with refreshment time.
Provide white, whole wheat and
rye bread so there will be variety
from which to choose. It's smart
to have this already sliced for the
youngsters and it looks better on the
table.
The meat piatter provides an at
tractive assortment of sandwich fill
er. Arrange in clockwise fashion,
the following: chicken pattie, cooked
tongue, meat loaf and liverwurst.
You can let the imagination of your
guests run freely with making their
own sandwiches, but in case they
run out of ideas, you might suggest
some of these:
Chicken pattie and boiled ham
with sweet pickle relish and lettuce
on whole wheat bread.
Meat loaf with tomato ketchup on
white bread.
Liverwurst and chicken loaf on
whole wheat bread.
Tongue and sliced cucumbers with
horseradish and mustard on rye
bread.
Balance the sandwich spread with
a salad of some kind. If the young
sters are boys, they will go for slices
of tomato on lettuce. For girls or
a mixed group, a molded fruit salad
will be tops:
Pineapple Carrot Salad Ring.
(Serves 6 to 8)
1 package lemon gelatin
1 cup water
1 cup pineapple Juice
1 cup sliced pineapple
4 to 8 grated carrots (raw)
Lettuce or endive
Mayonnaise or french dressing
Heat water and pour over gelatin.
Add cold pineapple juice and set
aside to cool. Add grated carrot and
pineapple cut in tidbits. Place in
individual molds or a large ring
mold which has been rinsed in cold
water. Let jell, then turn out on a
bed of crisp lettuce or endive, and
serve wth dressng. If a large mold

is used, the outside may be gar
nished with fruit such as sliced
oranges, pineapple, and apricots.
No party is complete without con
fections of some kind because there
are moments
when you actual
ly want to nibble
on something
sweet. Here is a
recipe featuring
dried fruits noted
for their high
I Vs ^ sugar content.
' \ They’re easy to
fix and full of taste.
•Fruit Dreams.
(Makes 60 squares)
1 14-ounce package pitted dates
14 pound nutmeats
Ya pound figs
Ya pound apricots
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 tablespoon orange Juice
Put dates, nutmeats, figs and
apricots through the meat grinder.
Knead orange rind and juice into
the mixture. Roll with a rolling
pin into a square sheet Ya inch thick.
Cut in squares and dip into pow
dered sugar.
If your sugar ration dos not ex
tend to making cool drinks with
sugar, here is a lemonade made
with honey. To make a really ‘‘par
tilled" drink, add a scoop of lemon,
orange, raspberry or pineapple sher
bet for the lemonade. Use carbon
ated water instead of plain and gar
nish with berries or fresh cherries.
•Honey Lemonade.
(Makes 1 serving)
1 lemon
1 to 3 tablespoons honey
1 cup water
Extract the Juice from the lemon
and add the honey. To this add
cold water and ice to chill. Serve
this in individual glasses with a
slice of lemon on the rim of each
glass. Or, if you prefer using a
punch bowl, set the drink in that
(Increasing the recipe to take care
of as many people as you are hav
ing), and let blobs of sherbet float
on top of the lemonade.
Cake ’n’ ice cream have high rat
ing among the younger set, so for
this occasion I would suggest the
following cake:
*CbocoIate Covered Sugarless Cake.
2(4 cups sifted cake flour
2(4 teaspoons double-acting bak
ing powder
(4 teaspoon salt
(4 cup butter or other shortening
2 teaspoons grated orange rind
1 cup light corn syrup
2 eggs, unbeaten
(4 cup milk
1(4 teaspoons vanilla
Sift flour once, measure, add bak
ing powder and salt and sift togethr
three times. Cream shortening with
orange rind; add syrup gradually,
beating well after each addition.
Add V« of the flour and beat until
smooth and well blended. Add eggs,
one at a time, beating well after
each. Add remaining flour in thirds,
alternately with milk in halves,
beating well after each addition. For
best results, beat cake very well
after at each stage of mixing. Add
vanilla. Bake in two greased 8-inch
pans in a moderate (375-degree)
oven 30 minutes or until done. Cov
er with:
Chocolate Chip Frosting.
Place cake layers on a baking
sheet, having one layer top side
down. Cover tops with semi-sweet
chocolate chips, using 2 packages.
Heat in a moderate (350-degree)
oven 6 minutes or until chips are
just softened. (The cake may be
frosted while warm. Heat only 3
minutes.) Remove from oven.
Spread softened chips over bottom
layer, letting chocolate run down
sides. Arrange top layer and spread
as before. Then spread sides evenly.

cooking problem on which you would

All This, We Find, Was
According to Orders
Out for a drive in her pony-cart,
an elderly lady managed to get
involved in some army maneu
vers. As she approached a bridge
a sentry stopped her.
“Sorry, madam,” he said; “you
can’t cross this bridge. It’s just
been destroyed.”
The old lady peered at it through
her spectacles.
“It looks all right to me,” she
murmured. Then, as another sol
dier came along,"she asked:
“Excuse me, but can you tell
me what’s wrong with this
bridge?”
The soldier shook his head.
“Don’t ask me, lady,” he re
plied; “I’ve been dead two days.”

The Long and Short of It
Customer—I suspect that you’re
giving me awfully short weight
for my money!
Grocer — Well, I’m positive
you’re giving me an awfully long
wait for mine.
We are told that millions of
germs cling to our paper money.
It’s more than most humans can
do nowadays!
Good Proof
Congressman—And why do they
say that talk is cheap?
Voter—Because the supply usu
ally exceeds the demand.
If the surface of your stove looks
rough, it probably is due to an
accumulation of stove blacking.
Sandpaper rubbed over the sur
face will make it as smooth as
when new.
• • *
Never wash the grids of a waffle
iron and never put the iron in
water. Instead clean the grids
with a wire brush and dry cloth,
wipe the outside of the iron with
a damp cloth and a soft polishing
cloth.
• • •
A chocolate pie will take on a
new flavor if left-over coffee is
substituted for half the milk.
The pibblem of what to send a
service man has been solved by the
men themselves. Tobacco tops the
list of gifts service men prefer
from the folks back home, accord
ing to numerous surveys. If you
have a friend or relative in the
armed forces—Army, Navy, Ma
rines, or Coast Guard—who smokes
a pipe, or rolls-his-own, a pound of
his favorite tobacco is very much
in order. A big favorite with many
service men is Prince Albert, the
world’s largest-selling smoking to
bacco. Local dealers now are fea
turing Prince Albert in the pound
can for the men in the service.—

When pressing or ironing, keep
a damp sponge in a saucer, close
by. It can be used for giving ex
tra dampness to articles, for open
ing seams or sponging collars
and cuffs.
* • •
Have a brush especially for
scrubbing pastry boards and ta
bles. Wash and wipe dry, and be
careful not to allow the dough to
accumulate in the cracks.
* • •
A stick of cinnamon broken into
the milk beaten into custards
gives the custards a faint cinna
mon color but does not darken
them.
• * •
Try cooking beet greens with
bacon. After boiling, the bacon is
crisped in frying pan and served
with slices of hard-boiled eggs as
a border around greens.
* • •
If the “silence cloth” used un
der tablecloths to protect the ta
ble from hot dishes becomes stiff
or shrunken from incorrect laun
dering, wash in fluffy soapsuds to
which two or three tablespoansful
of glycerine has been added. Rinse
and hang to dry. The glycerine
that remains will help to make the
cloth soft and easy to stretch back
into shape.
Appreciated
Jean—I wouldn’t marry the best man
living.
Bert—I’m sorry you feel that way
about me, but thanks for the compli
ment.
Without the Grounds
“My girl’s father doesn’t like me."
"On what grounds?"
"On any grounds within ten miles of
his house."

Her Prerogative
Jean—You can’t believe all you
hear.
Joan—No; but you can repeat it.
Anyone can recognize opportuni
ty after the other fellow has seized
it.
Another Type
“How did Smith hurt his hand?"
“Reckless driving."
“Smash up his car?"
“No, just his finger. He missed
the nail.”
OUT AND IN
“I say, it’s odd this being in
society.”
“How so?”
“Why, to keep in it you must be
continually going out, don’t you
know.”
Slow Going
As the secretary of the golf club
was crossing the course he saw a
player driving off about a foot in
front of the tee-mark.
“Here,” he exclaimed indignant
ly, “you can’t do that! You’re dis
qualified.”
“Why?” demanded the player.
“You’re driving off in front of
the mark.”
“Don’t be an ass!” was the terse
reply; “I’m playing my third
shot."

AMERICAN RED CROSS
When disaster strikes, the Red Cross is
Srst in and last out,
\7OLUNTEER 'Special Services
^ of the American Red Cross
have been geared to meet war re
quirements and war priorities.
Although a shortage of materi
als has cut down production work,
women who have sewed and knit
ted for the Red Cross will be glad
to know that, under an agreement
with the War Production board, a
certain amount of wool and yard
goods will be available for Red
Cross workers, according to Mrs.
Dwight Davis, national director of
this Red Cross program.
These restricted quantities are
to be used only for knitted articles
for our soldiers and sailors when
requested by their commanding
officers, and for garments for
civilian relief, either at home or
abroad, which are absolutely nec
essary.
The Red Cross Motor corps
has been active since the early
days of the First World war,
but since last year its work
has tripled. Many of the 6,576
members, on account of tire
priorities, are restricting the
personal use of their cars so
that their motor corps work
may be continued. Motor
corps volunteers drive the
ambulances which provide
transportation for hospitals
and Red Cross chapters, and
hold themselves ready for
service in any kind of emerg
ency. Besides their basic train
ing in motor mechanics and
advanced first aid, many mem
bers are now studying map
reading, stretcher drills, and
convoy and ambulance black
out driving in co-operation with
their local police and fire de
partments.
A new canteen aide corps has
recently been formed in prepara
tion for wartime emergencies,
when feeding of large groups of
people such as evacuees or disas
ter victims may have to be hastily
organized.
Red Cross nurse’s aides, who
have learned how to help the
trained nurses in hospitals and
clinics, are now being trained to
work on the emergency medical
field units set up in large centers
in case of air attack.
The other general wartime vol
unteer services of the Red Cross
include home service to the fami
lies of the men in the forces, the
hospital and recreation corps which
brings cheer to the sick and
wounded, and the staff assistance
corps, which provides volunteers
for all kinds of office work in hos
pitals, clinics and Red Cross chap
ter and to man information desks
and register disaster victims.
