VEGETABLES
, but let them be seasoned to the
queen's taste and served in a
dozen different ways
By Dorothy Creig
IN our time we have heard women mention their hushands
in all sorts of -ways, kindly and otherwise. Uut the other day
a friend referred to Iter's as a "meat and potato" husband. It
seems he balks at vegetables and salads.
We sometimes suspect that "meat
end potato" individuals are that
way because their mothers drowned
vegetables instead of cooking them
for flavor and serving with more
Eavor.
The trick with most vegetables is
to be stingy with water. Cooking
with steam is even better. In that
way all the fresh garden flavor is
preserved. Then be lavish with
butter in the serving of them. Now,
mister, won't you change your mind
about vegetables!
Savory sauces also do wonders to
lend zest and new interest to our
every day vegetables. The sauces
are the easiest thing in the world
to make, too . . if you just re
member the ca lined soups on your
ehelL There you have the makin's
of an infinite variety of delicious
sauces. For instance, try these:
Cauliflower with Celery-Cheese
Sauce
1 (2 lbs.) head cauliflower
Remove leaves and stalk from
cauliflower Soak for about 20 min
utes, head down in cold salt water
(1 teaspoon to 1 quart water).
Cook, uncovered, in large amount
of boiling salted water 8-20 min
utes, or until just tender. Break
off the flowerets of cauliflower and
-ii've mixed with the sauce or
Jtrve the sauce over the entire
and arrive at their destination the
following morning, being well worth
the additional three cents postage.
To Ask for Parcel Post Delivery
Following Mr. Larson's talk and!
reply to numerous questions, mo-j
i
tions were made that the Chamber
oT Commerce voice a request through
regular channels for the establish
ment of parcel post delivery service
in Plattsmouth also for a proper re-spprlinn-
of the nost office lawn, with
appropriation for water to keep it j
green throughout the summer and
the landscaping of the grounds.
lAka i cvjucai riii irr iiiuutr 1111 u
Postmaster Cummins to be forward
ed with his recommendations to the
proper department.
As to the curtailment In service,
brought about by changes in train
schedules, it was felt that little
could be done at the present time,
although later some definite pro
gram may be worked out for pre
sentation to the department.
Work Projects
Searl Davis, chairman of the com
mittee named to investigate propos
ed borrowing of money by the city
or schools without interest for work
projects of importance, suggested
the following, in the order named:
1 Athletic field stadium.
2 Improvement on school build
ings. 3 Repave Chicago avenue.
4 Take over and complete the
Legion community building.
He stated the law to make such
non-interest loans has not 3-et been
passed by congress, however.
Mr. Bernhardt told of having con
tracts for large acreages of peas, to
matoes, spinach, corn, etc. for the
forthcoming canning season.
T. IL Pollock and A. L. Tidd both
reported highlights of the Chemurgic
conference in Omaha, which they at
tended, particularly the new uses
being developed for farm products.
Among these are building materials
and alcohol for combustion motors.
OPPOSE REFUGEES
INDIANAPOLIS, Im", May 6
(U P) The national Americanism
commission of the American Lejrion
went on record today as opposed to
any legislation which would make the
United States an asylum for political
and religious refugees above im
migration quotas.
Chairman Steve Chadwick, outlin
ing the commission's report to the
national executive committee, attacked
three bills now pending- in compress
which would make possible immigra-
I tion of refugees from European coun
tries.
'The jjowers that would be confer
red under these resolutions are so
unlimited in scope as to make impos
sible of comprehension even at this
times the extent to which our present
number of unemployed and indigent
residents might be increased," he
said.

SPRING PIG CROP LARGER
LINCOLN. May 5 (UP) Nebras
ka's spring pig crop probably will
be slightly larger than a year ago
because of a more favorable feed
rate and unusually good weather
conditions at farrowing time, Arthur
George, extension economist of the
College of Agriculture said today.
Swine numbers in Nebraska he
said, are only approximately one-
third of normal while in the east
ern part of the corn belt numbers
have been increasing due to an abun
dant supply of feed produced last
year.
George said there probably will
be no great increase in the Ne-;
braska hog supply until a normal I
corn crop is produced. J
