A grand finale for wartime meals
Serve Strawberry Short
cakes often and keep the
family smiling
• You’ll say these put the “ray” in
rationing—only a couple of your val
uable ration-points for six boun
tiful servings of the biggest favor
ite of all, Strawberry Shortcakes!
And "Hooray,” the family will say,
when you bring in these flaky, gold
en-brown biscuit “shortcakes,”
With lots of strawberries and juice,
lots of cream, old-fashioned style!
Make sure your shortcakes are
tender, light and delicately crispy
—minus any strong flavor of their
own. Use an all-vegetable shorten
ing that’s bland and pure, all short
ening for your money. Then follow
this recipe tested in a famous
Kitchen. It’s so easy, in fact, that
your own ten-year-old can make
these Strawberry Shortcakes and
surprise you for dinner tonight! So
clip the recipe and keep it handy, for
berry-and-fruit shortcake time.

I low on carrots. We have been ask
ed to tell you readers about the
plentifulness of carrots, and urge
greater Use of them during the
next month or six weeks. This is
such "hot new's’ that we could only
print the recipe and suggesred
copy, hoping that it wll be distinc
tively worthy and helpful of you,
our readers’ attention.
I _
CARROTS NOW VERY. PLENTI
FUL—IT’S PATRIOTIC TO USE
THEM FREELY
Uncle Sam asked our farmers to
increase their production of carrots
and they did it—this, spring’s crop
is the largest in history. Prices
are very reasonable, and you don’t
pay any points to enjoy this tasty
and toothsome vegetable. Carrots
you know, are a good source of
Vitamin A, which is essential for
growth, good vision and healthy
skin. Help yourself to all of these.
Serve carrots raw—in crispy
strips—with all your salads during
the coming months, and use them
for garnishes and relishes on every
occasion. Raw carrots have a
sweet and nutty taste that’s like
hearts of celery. Tour family will
love—them so pack them in the
lunch boxes, and get some ready
for the youngsters when they come
home from school, hungry for a
snack.
In boiling carrots, be sure to use
the least possible water and boil
only 8-20 minutes, or until just
tender, in a tightly covered sauca
pan. During the last few minutes
of cooking, add Spry or butter, to
improve flavor.
Here’s another yummy way to
cook carrots, so the whole family
will ask for them again and again.
Better clip for your wartime cook
book.
GLAZED CARROTS
6 medium-sized carrots,
2 tablespoons Spry,
1 teaspoon salt,
114 teaspoons grated orange rind
1 teaspoon sugar.
Scrape carrots and slice thin.
Melt Spry. Add carrots, salt, or
ange rind, and sugar.
Cover, and cook over medium
heat 10 minutes, stirring frequent
ly. Uncover and cook 5 minutes
longer to glaze and absorb excess
moisture.
Serves 4.

LEGION NEWS
(BY JULIUS E. HILL)
(Post Publicity Officer)
As the large crowds that nightly
come to the Lounge has made it
necessary for Roosevelt Post to ex
pand and reorganize its house
committee that was done at a meet
ing Wednesday evening of last
week. Each member was selected
and given duties to perform for
which he is best suited.
Attorney Ray L. Williams was
named chairman of the Joint Com
mittees which collectively make up
the house committee.
Ralph Underwood was named as
chairman of the bar committee.
Other members of the committees
are as follows: Earl A. Thomas,
Secretary; Aaron Glass and Earl
A. Thomas, co-bar committee, De
portment and door, Colie Jaco, Ma
chines. Richard Bailey, Employees
Rules, Ed Wright and James Walt
er, Personnel, Emery Hickman,
Purchasing, Chas. Coleman.
It is deeply regreted that thru an
•rror, Mother Forrest’s gift cf a
beautiful Bible to the Post was not
mentioned in this column last
week. For to this reporter such a
gift can mean but one thing—the
donor wishes the Post God’s speed
in all its worthy endeavors.

THE WORLD'S BIGGEST WIND—
70 BMS7T//E WORM'S
B/60ES7 W/WDSRGS/-m®W
A roaring, raging hurricane seldom hits harder than
100 miles an hour. But at Wright Field, Ohio, Air Force
engineers whip up an almost unbelievable 400-mile
wind — to help improve American military planes.
Two forty-loot fans, weighing nearly a million pounds,
put the "hurry" in this hurricane tunnel. They're driven
by a huge 125-ton electric motor with a terrific horse
power rating. They permit accurate tests of large-scale
plane models at speeds up to 400 miles an hour.
America's sleek fighters and burly bombers are faster,
safer, more deadly to the enemy, because America
has the world's biggest wind tunnels—and the world's
biggest supply of electric power.
In fact, electric power is basic to nearly all war pro
duction. It turns the machines that turn out tanks,
planes and guns. It welds the steel seams of ships.
It flashes the urgent words of war by air and by wire.
War has brought shortages of many materials, but
there has been plenty of electric power for war
production.
The electric companies under business management,
supplying about seven-eighths of all America's elec
tric power, had a BIG job to do—and did it!

what is more important, she is a
staunch Christian who doesn’t con
fine her religious activities to one
day in a week, as so many do.
Therefore the gift of a Bible com
ing from one so well versed in its
precepts and one who daily is gov
erned by them, enhances its value
two-fold. •
And through this column Theo

licly express its thanks and deep
appreciation of the Bible present

The Lounge was the scene of a
birthday party given for Miss Hen

waitresses last Tuesday night.
Those present had an enjoyable
time. Miss Claxton received pres

SERVICEMEN’S ALLOWANCES
AND ALLOTMENT FOR
DEPENDENTS EXPLAINED
Doubtless many people would
like information concerning Family
Allowance and the allotments made
by Servicemen on behalf of their
families or for other purposes. For
your convenience, here is a brief
explanation of these benefits as ad
ministered for the Army by the Of
fice of Dependency Benefits.
The Government will help enlist
ed men in the lowest grades of
Service to take care of dependents
with Family Allowances under
Public Law 625—77th Congress.
WHAT IS A FAMILY
ALLOWANCE?
A government check sent to the
soldier’s dependents regularly ev
ery month. The Family Allowance
is made up of money set aside from
his pay and money contributed by
the Government. It is granted
only upon application. It is pay
able only to dependetrs eligible un
' d t the law. These include, prim
arily, wife and child (Class A rela
tives); dependents parents and min
c.r depend, Rs sisters avy' brothers
(Class B dependents).
HOW MUCH IS SET ASIDE
FROM THE SOLDIER'S PAY?
$22 a month, if the allowance is
for Class A relatives only, or class
B dependents only. $27 a month,
if it is for both class A and Class
B.
HOW MUCH WILL THE SOLD
IER’S DEPENDENTS GET?
Here are a few examples;
Wife . $50
Wife and child .S02
Wife and 2 children..$72
.Father and mother only_$47
Wife and parents .$80
HOW SOON DOES A FAMILY
ALLOWANCE BEGIN TO BE
PAID?
The allowance begins to accrue
the month after he applies and is
payable when that month has end
ed. For instance, if he applies in
March, the allowance begins to ac
crue in April and is payable in May.
WHO MAY APPLY?
The soldier may apply as soon as
he is on active duty. All enlisted
men in the fourth, fifth, sixth or
seventh grades may apply. De
pendents may apply too, but it is
better for the soldier himself to
do it. His wife or child (also a div
orced wife to whom alimony is pay
able) may receive this benefit with
or without his consent. But Class
B dependents may receive it only
if the soldier agrees.
WHO DIRECTS THE ODB?
Colonel H. N. Gilbert (AGD) is the
Director. Colonel Gilbert, a veter
n of World War I, was in char •re
of pre-Pearl Harbor recruiting ;*
ivities for the Army.
WHEN WAS THE AGENCY
ORGANIZED?
In October, 1942, several offices
w-hich had administered the var
ious soldiers’ benefits separately
were merged into a single agency—
The Office of Dependency Benefits.
HOW MANY FAMILY ALLOW
ANCES ARE IN EFFECT?
On March 1, 1943, a total of 1.
772,534 Family Allowances were 'n
