You Can’t Keep a Good Ship Down The Japanese bombs on Pearl Harbor which ignited a war flame in America also disabled every United States battleship in the Hawaiian area and destroyed 80 naval air craft of all types. The aircraft were all replaced within a few days. Within a year most of the damaged vessels were re paired and back in action. Today, almost two years from December 7, 1941, the United States navy has come back to defeat the best that Japan can throw against it. According to authorities there is no navy that can match the combined size, experience, and air strength of Uncle Sam’s fleets. This war has brought new feats of naval salvage operations of which Pearl Harbor is an outstanding example. The work of naval salvage workers exceeded the most hopeful expectations and the speed with which they repaired broken ships symbolizes the navy’s spirit which is carrying it to Japan’s shores for a final accounting.

Damage and corrosion to the superstructure of the Oklahoma are quite pronounced in this picture: Inset: Some of the navy ship yard workers are women. Dorothy Waiwaiole, Hawaiian, is shown cutting steel to be shipped back to the mainland. Valuable parts of the lb-year old Arizona are salvaged daily by divers shown ascending from her sunken hull. salvage work is in progress elsewhere also. A bridgehouse from a sunken ship off Staten Island is hoisted to a barge. Some of the vessels dam aged at Pearl Harbor required extensive J> machinery and in- M tricate electrical Jf§| overhauling as well as refloat ing and hull repairing.

(See Recipe Below) Company Nights You may be on a strict ration budget, but it isn’t necessary to ra tion hospnamy n you plan the food and entertain ment wisely. Food and pleasant con versation shared with friends make the long, cool nights, and work filled days easier to share. Plan soon to have some one over for you can do it with to day’s recipes without stretching the ration or budget book out of joint. Dishes should be hearty enough to satisfy any man-sized appetites you encounter, but pretty enough to draw compliments, too. Have things easy to fix so that you can have plenty of time to take part in the social activities of the evening. Enlist the help of the children in setting up the tables, polishing sil verware and glasses. They’ll like doing it and it will ease the load on you. Baked beans are grand for fall entertaining and they really make those points go a long way. They certainly answer the need for hearti ness to satisfy appetites fanned by the coolness in the air, and when served in attractive casseroles with gay table background, they answer the beauty requirement. If you make the beans yourself, a little pork goes a long way when it travels with other such savory foods as mustard, molasses, brown sugar, tomato sauce and vinegar. 'Home Baked Beans. (Serves 6 to 8) 2 cups navy beans ?4 pound fat salt pork Hi teaspoons salt cup brown sugar \i teaspoon dry mustard 2 tablespoons molasses 1 small onion, quartered % cup catsup, if desired Wash beans. Cover with water and soak them overnight. Cook slowly until the skins burst or un- _ til just tender. ' Drain, reserving liquor. Place half j the beans in bean I pot or casserole. ' Bury a slice of pork in beans and another slice in the remaining ingredients. Add re maining beans and seasonings. Place remaining salt pork over the top. Cover with bean liquor. Cover and bake in a slow oven (250 to 300 de grees) 6 to 8 hours. If necessary, add more liquid. Individual bean pots make serv ing simpler. The beans may be baked in small pots, or, if desired, baked in a large pot, ladled out into small pots before serving. Relax your taut nerves and forget war worries by serving a delicious decaffeinated coffee—hot or cold. If making the coffee in a percolator, It needs slightly longer to bring out the full, rich coffee flavor. Boston brown bread is the tradi tional accompaniment for baked beans. Slice it very thin, spread with butter or cream cheese, which ever suits your palate best. Lynn Says: Point Savers: Discarding left overs is waste for they can make many a meal, and a nice one. Use leftover meats or poul try and a combination of vegeta bles, and tuck that under a flaky pie-crust for a wonderful meat saver. Remember pie crust is packed with energy value because of the shortening. Try high quality shortening for making pastry. It is fresh and sweet, doesn’t have to be kept in the refrigerator and is of a nice texture to blend with flour. To roll pie dough thin, cover board with a heavy muslin, and rolling pin with a child’s white sock. Lynn Chambers’ Point-Saving Menu •Home-Baked Beans Boston Brown Bread Sandwiches Lettuce, Carrot, Tomato, Onion Salad Fruit Ambrosia Coffee •Recipe Given Another dish worthy of considera tion on cool nights for entertaining is this ground meat pie—that serves six with just a pound of meat: Hamburger Pie. (Serves 8) 1 medium-sized onion, chopped 1 pound ground beef Salt and pepper Z'A cups green beans 1 can condensed tomato soup 8 medium-sized potatoes, cooked H cup warm milk 1 beaten egg Salt and pepper Brown onion, in hot fat; add milk and seasonings. Brown. Add beans and soup. Pour into a greased cas serole. Mash potatoes, add milk, egg and seasonings. Spoon in mounds over meat. Bake in a mod erate oven (350 degrees) 30 minutes. A waffle supper is another way of entertaining which can be inexpen sive ana consume only a few points. There are loads of things to do with waffles—ei ther for main course or des serts. Make plain wames ana serve uiem wiui creamed chicken or leftover veal creamed with mushrooms. For des serts, try them with berries or fruit or a combination of ice cream and fruit or berries. Walnuts in waffles make them taste wonderfully good. Serve a few tender, sizzling link sausages with these for a particularly tempting late evening snack: Walnut Waffles. (Makes 4 to 6 waffles) 2 well-beaten egg yolks 1% cups milk 2 cups pastry flour Y* teaspoon salt 4 teaspoons baking powder 6 tablespoons oil 2 stiffly beaten egg whites 1 cup broken walnut kernels Combine beaten egg yolks and milk. Add flour sifted together with salt and baking powder, then add oil. Beat until smooth, fold in egg whites and nuts. Bake in ungreased waffle iron. As meat shortages become more acute, cereals are once more taking their place in the American diet. Spaghetti, macaroni, noodles, etc., all belong to the cereal family and may be used admirably for meat stretchers and substitutes. Combine them with one of the complete pro tein foods such as meat or cheese and you have a very satisfying, fill ing dish. Here’s a dish fortified with grated cheese and another pro tein food, eggs: Baked Eggs on Spaghetti. (Serves 8) 1 % cups spaghetti 2 tablespoons butter er substitute 4 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups milk 1 cup American-style grated cheese 8 eggs Buttered crumbs Cook spaghetti in 4 quarts boiling salted water until tender. Drain. Add melted butter. Add flour and salt mixed thoroughly. Pour in milk gradually. Cook, stirring constant ly until thick. Add cheese and blend. Mix with spaghetti. Pour into shal low, greased baking dish. Break eggs onto spaghetti, sprinkle with buttered crumbs and salt. Bake in a slow oven (300 degrees) about 30 minutes or until eggs are cooked.

HEN Jose Iturbi heard that Morton Gould and Alec Templeton were to ap pear on the same radio pro gram he said “You may rest assured that you will hear every type of music from Bach to boogie and Wagner to woogie! ” Which is about what happens on the "Carnival’' program each Wednesday night. Gould, com poser, conductor, pipnist and arrang er, has written music that has been played by orchestras from that of Toscanini to that of Glenn Miller.

He has "killed" ten men with it. "It's my character gun,” says he. "It’s the right type for me.” Latest use is in "The Fallen Sparrow," the RKO drama of espionage, in which he makes love to Maureen O’Hara, Martha O’Driscoll and Patricia Morison, and goes gunning for Wal ter Slezak.
