I I m I Fresh-From-the-Vine Grapes Make Clear, Bright Jelly! <See Recipes Below.) Meals—With Zest Does meal after meal slip by un noticed, eaten only because it does away with hun ger? Do your , meals pull their ^ punches so to jl speak—look good, 1/ have proper bal [ ance, contrast in I texture, etc., but “still seem to lack someinmg vuaiY A dinner, lunch or breakfast that lacks a sense of completeness is like a ham sandwich without mus tard, meat without seasoning, fish without a tart sauce, a pie without a flaky crust. The small things that do big things for menus are the rel ishes, pickles, jams and jellies, which brings me to today's topic. Relishes such as pickles, jellies, conserves and preserves can supply that sense of completeness to a meal if you use them with a thought to flavor affinity. For chicken try strawberry or plum jam. Goose calls for spiced peach jam or apple jelly. Orange and cherry jam or relish are tops with bland duck. Spiced grape Jam or gooseberry jams are "musts” with beef just as mint or crabapple Jelly are musts with lamb. Pair off that golden brown ham with plum jelly or horseradish mixed with grape jelly. Veal needs currant or blackberry Jam. If you can’t get quince jelly, try cranberry Jelly with pork. Liver will be extra good with tomato relish. Think of all the plate lunches and sandwiches you are going to serve the year ’round for lunches, snacks and pack-up boxes. You’ll need these: *Bread and Butter Pickles. (Makes 8 pints) 12 Urge cucumbers 4 onions, sliced 4 cups sugar 1 quart vinegar 5 cups water 4 teaspoons celery seed 4 teaspoons mustard seed 2 teaspoons tumeric Cut cucumbers in y« inch slices.

Pack into hot, sterilized jars. Concord grapes are plentiful in the fall and make delicious jelly. You can substitute corn syrup in this one: *Concord Grape Jelly. (Makes 11 medium glasses) 4 cups Juice 1V4 cups sugar K bottle fruit pectin You will need about 3 pounds of grapes for four cups of Juice. Wash and stem grapes and crush grapes.

Georgia and South Carolina. Recently a group of prepared cereals have had their whole grain nutritive values restored or are now made from whole grains so watch labels when doing your buying. The peach crop this year will be like last year—one of the best, according to present indica tions. Heavy shipments have al ready started coming in and pro duction will climb up to about 50 million bushels—a new high. Broilers and fryers will be abundant during these next few months, so don’t miss out on good fried chicken or crisply browned and broiled chicken. Young chickens are abundant now be cause of increased war poultry production. Canned foods will come in few er sizes this fall and winter in the effort to cut down on use of tin.

NEW YORK.—It might be a good idea to turn Glenn L. Martin loose on this cargo plane job and let him see what he can do. We once , .. saw him pull Clumsy Looking through a Kite' Opened Eyes doubtful en Of Public in 1912 which wasn t nearly so good a short-end bet as making cargo planes in a hurry. It was at Avalon Bay, Los Ange les, in 1912, when aviation was fasci nating outdoor vaudeville, with its hall mark of world destiny still hid den. Bleriot, the French flier, had out-stunted our lads by a flight over the English channel. On this golden day in 1912 there appeared at the water's edge a clumsy looking kite, pre cariously poised on a single wooden pontoon. Word got around that this Martin, who ever he might be, was actually going to fly this thing over to Catalina island, 20 miles away. Young Martin had been ramming around with barnstorming troops, with home-made planes, known to fliers as a daring innovator, but with the public in general not quite sure of even his first name. Lin coln Beachey, Art Smith, Si Christof ferson, Bob Fowler and others had found in the California skies a clear field of operations and Martin was one among many there, having a good time in what seemed then a j sport, rather than a business. At any rate, bankers of the day so re garded it. He had built his Catalina Clipper in an abandoned church, with such material as he might come by, with out benefit of bankers. We recall that it had a quaint, homespun look. It seemed that it might do almost anything except fly. Getting ready for the take-off, young Mai tin wasn’t paying any attention to the skeptical crowd. He tightened up some bolts, put an inflated rubber tube around his neck, and strapped a compass around his leg. Then, to state it precisely, he flew to Catalina. Just in passing, when he reached the financial, as apart from the tech nical, stage of his operations, he wore most elegantly tailored black flying suits, and no more messing around in dungarees. His flying mates called him "Dude Martin,’’ but this get-up achieved an effect of safe and sane conservatism and it was not surprising that he got backing from the bankers. THE last time we saw Waldo Frank was in the summer of 1939, on our terrace in the country. It was a month or two before the s’ America Chief ed and Mr Interest of This Frank was Prolific Writer Jf*flyfitrou* bled. It was a dead-end conversation, every way : we turned. War was coming—of that Mr. Frank felt sure. We would be pulled in, and we wouldn't be ready, either with arms or under standing. The mood of the conversation is more clearly recalled than just what Mr. Frank said. However, we do remember that he was sad because continental America had not shaken loose from a dying Mediterranean civilization and built a proud and safe and cohesive civilization of its own. A short, stocky man, with a loose tweed suit and a neat black mous tache, he moved down a trail in tiie dusk to a dark cave of inter locking forest trees. The dark trail led to Buenos Aires where he lies today, a casualty of a war of ideas which he has been waging for more than 20 years. Six Fascist thugs beat him with the butt of a revolver, after the Axis - inclined Argentinian government had found him per sona non grata. His book, “Our America,” pub lished in 1919, was both an exalted declaration of faith and a disquiet ing appraisal of our complacent and slovenly failure to realize what the gods had bestowed on us, and to measure up to this endowment. In this and many later books and mag azine articles, he preached a some what mystic philosophy of "The Whole,” with such earnest faith and plodding persistence that it is not surprising that he carried his chal lenge to the dangerous political front of Argentina. During the decades in which he wrote nearly 40 books—he is one of the most prolific of American writ ers—Mr. Frank was profoundly in terested in South America, in his conviction that North and South were interdependent, in their cul tural and economic destiny. When he first was in Argentina in 1929, the president provided him an air plane for his tour of the country. It was in that year that he visited the principal cities of South Amer ica, on a lecture tour, appealing for continental solidarity. I _— TIT" ASHINGTON.—Praise is never * » as interesting as blame, but : if we examine only what has hap pened since December 7 the air service, from top to bottom, has dene a pretty good job. Up to De cember 7 there may be many opin ions. The defense of the air serv ices, both army and navy, was that they could not do much planning without knowing WHAT they were going to be called on to do until this country became actually involved, and the White House told them what was wanted. So the thing divides into three chapters: Before Pearl Harbor, the events of December 7 themselves, and since December 7. We can dismiss the period BE FORE December 7 by admitting that up to that time the admirals and gen erals, as a whole, underestimated woefully the striking power of air planes. Up until then there was considerable skepticism, for exam ple, among not only our admirals but the British, as to whether a battleship could be sunk by air planes. They know better now. But the admirals and generals do not deserve ALL the blame for what happened before Pearl Harbor. There was no such planning for war as should have been done, in view of the fact that we were so surely drifting into it. The success of the Japanese sur prise attack in destroying planes on the ground both in Hawaii and in the Philippines is a separate chap ter which has been fully discussed. Mass Production Promised But SINCE December 7 the air services have really given a good account of themselves. It is not permitted to give figures, but the number of pilots, bombardiers, gun ners and navigators trained is ex traordinary, and the fighting which has been done by our planes all over the world, including participa tion in some of the bombing raids over continental Europe, is some thing of which we can be proud. Similarly the production of planes has more than come up even to President Roosevelt’s expectations. There are troubles and bottlenecks galore, but the plain truth is that these bottle necks, in many instances, are caused not by failures in those weak links in the chain, so to speak, but in the surprising pro duction in OTHER links, thus outstripping the weak links, and turning them into bottlenecks. When one reads of shortages ol critical materials, one must remem ber that there would be no shortages if production had not exceeded ex pectations. Obviously, if the expectancy is 100, and the production is 150, of any given article, be it a ship or a plane or a tank, some essential will be found short. Provision had been made for 100, not 150. * • • In Ten Months’ Time A Masterful Achievement! Production of those cargo-carry ing airplanes, designed to overcome the submarine menace by delivering war supplies by air, is promised by Henry Kaiser within ten months aft er he gets the contract. This is a much earlier delivery date—as suming the contract is made—than anyone has even speculated upon. Before any formal proposal, Kaiser has said to officials, he wants to know several things, the most important of which is—does the government want this effort started, and, if it does, how many planes does it want? There is no doubt that Kaiser is a disturbing figure in Wash ington. He was regarded for a long time practically as a crank. He had to work pretty hard to get a hearing. The best evi dence of the change of attitude that has occurred is the fact that recently, when it was an nounced that he would speak at a luncheon of the National Press club, it was necessary to hang out the SRO signs well in ad vance. “What we are interested in,’' Douglass is fond of saying, "is not how much a ship weighs, or how much water she displaces, or any one of half a dozen other details. | But we are enormously interested in how much freight she will carry, and how long it will take her to get from one port to another.” He then always hastens to point out that the arm chair strategists must not assume that a ship which makes 20 knots is twice as good, for cargo delivering purposes, as one which makes 10 knots. There are two complications to such simple arithmetic. One is that the ship capable of making 20 knots is apt to take just as long to load, and just as long to ; unload, as the ship which can make only 10 knots. The other is that the [ faster a ship is the more fuel she | consumes per mile. Patterns SEWBNG CDIRCLE ~ 8206 r)0 YOU want an apron which will give maximum coverage and years of long service?
