Point-Easy Patterns
Some of our homemakers feel that
rationing has become so tight, it is
difficult to set a tasty dish before
the family. It’s true we are learn
ing to use a great variety of foods,
but all these can be made delicious
as well as pleasing as to appearance.
Humble meats like hamburger and
liver can be dressed attractively and
made to taste
like high - point
foods. Imagine
eating golden
brown, wafer-thin
pancakes, filled
with a well-sea
soned meat mix
1 ture. Good? Of
course, pass the
seconds, please.
You can stuff small slices of liver
with your favorite celery or onion
dressing and braise them in a sa
vory tomato sauce. There’s little
better.
If you have taken it a little bit
easy on the main course, you can
always go the limit with the des
serts. Cream pies are luscious
even though their whipped cream
toppings are missing. Frothy egg
whites are just as pretty and tasty.
Fresh vegetables and fruit plat
ters are ideal for adding color to
the table. Try a freshly cooked
snowy white cauliflower in the cen
ter of a platter and surround it with
slivered green beans and tomato
cups with golden com kernel cen
ters. If it’s a fruit platter you’ve
set your cap for, then you'll like
melon (preferably cantaloupe with
its center scooped out and filled with
a fruit gelatin salad, and garnished
on the platter with slices of pine
apple mounted with fresh berries or
grapes.
Hamburger Filled Potato Pancakes
(Serve* 6 to 8)
1 pound hamburger
2 teaspoons salt
34 cup milk
2 tablespoons fine, dry bread
crumbs
2 tablespoons fat
4 cups grated raw potatoes
2 tablespoons grated onions
34 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs, beaten
34 cup flour
2 tablespoons milk
Combine meat, 1 teaspoon salt,
milk and bread crumbs. Mix well
and shape into thin patties. Brown
in hot fat. Combine potatoes, re
maining salt, pepper, eggs, flour and
milk. Mix well. Remove meat from
frying pan. Add more fat. Place a
small amount of the potato mixture
into hot fat. Top with meat pattie.
Then cover with more potato mix
ture (potato mixture should form a
thin edating). Fry slowly until
brown. Turn and brown on other
side.
These Hamburger Filled Pan
cakes may be served with sauer
kraut. Place the kraut in the cen
ter of a platter and arrange pan
cakes in a border around it.
Lynn Says:
Meat Memos: Extend low-point
meats with breading, garnishing
and fillings to make them appe
tizing and point-saving.
Bacon can be dipped in beaten
egg and bread crumbs, then fried
and served as an appetizing meat
course.
Honeycomb or pocket tripe be
comes savory when given the egg
and bread crumb treatment.
Serve it with broiled bacon and
tomatoes for flavor contrast.
Ground lamb patties take on
flavor value when served with
grilled fresh pineapple and toma
to slices.
Small shoulder roasts will
stretch further when stuffed with
bread, celery, parsley or onion
dressing. Make plenty of rich
gravy for a fill-in feature.

Rural Telephones May
Get Federal Loans
Bill Would Provide
For Private Expansion
By WALTER SHEAD
WNC Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON D. C.—“The Party
Line,’’ long the butt of jibes anti
ridicule, may be on its way out if a
bill intended to “provide or improve
telephone service in rural areas”
becomes law under the new 79th
congress.
Considerable interest has been
aroused in the measure introduced
by Senator Lister Hill (D., Ala.)
which would provide for a special
fund of 100 million dollars and
create a federal agency to be known
as the “Rural Telephone adminis
tration.”
This administration would ad
minister the law and the fund with
authority to make loans to tele
phone companies, or to individuals,
corporations, states, municipalities,
utility districts, or to non-profit co
operative associations; also to the
Rural Electrification administration
for the purpose of financing the con
struction, rehabilitation, moderniza
tion and operation of telephone sys
tems, exchange lines, or other facili
ties for furnishing telephone service
to persons in rural areas who are
not receiving adequate service. The
measure also provides for improve
ment or betterment of existing serv
ice to persons in these areas.
Senator Hill, as a result of con-1
siderable study on the rural tele-'
phone problem asserted that in 1920
almost 2Vi million farm homes had
telephones and that by 1940 this
number had decreased to about 1%
million, a decrease of about 40 per
cent. Rates for farm telephone serv
ice have increased from about $1.39
to an average of $1.80 at the pres
ent time. He also pointed out that
75 per cent of the nation’s farms
numbering 4,166,000 still do not have
telephone service.
Some 30,000 smaller telephone
companies in the nation would be
the chief beneficiaries under the bill
as borrowers from the fund to mod
ernize their plants, rebuild existing
lines and construct new ones. Loans
would be made on a self-liquidating
basis at an interest rate of 1% per
cent with 35 years in which to re
pay the principal.
Handy Milk Stool
The strap-on milk stool will save
considerable time as well as provide
another step forward in proper sani
tation. After the stool has been
strapped on, it need not be touched
again until milking is finished.
Strap the stool around the waist,
wash hands, then start milking. Bac
teria count will be reduced consid
erably. If more than one leg is de
sired, the conventional three legs
can be added to this type of stool.
Few Cheese Bandages
Shortage of cotton cloth for manu- !
facturing bandages for cheese
threatens to cause serious damage
to the cheese industry. The bandage
around the cheese makes the rind,
explains W. W. Price, of the Uni- I
versity of Wisconsin.
Without the bandages, cheese can
not be pressed or the rind formed
without cracks. If the cheese has
cracks, molds form in the air pock
ets and the quality of the cheese
is considerably lower.
MAKE YOUR OWN CLOTHES FOR SUPERIOR
STYLE AND FIT
Here’s living proof that figure-fitting problems can be overcome when
you sew for yourself. These two girls have made the same style dress,
each choosing fabric, design and color to do right by her figure. The
tall girl wears a blue and white leaf print, while the junior-sized girl
looks taller in a pale gold spun rayon. The pattern with a printed
cutting line insures easy, accurate sewing. A leaflet with information
on fitting, FIT IT SO IT’S FIT TO SEW, may be obtained by sending

THIS DRAPED, CROCHETED TORBAN AND BAG
ARE ALIVE WITH COLOR
Dramatic cotor combinations highlight the most talked-about spring
accessories. This gold and black crocheted turban, with its unusual
draping, received inspiration from a painting (“Woman Reading" by
Cartaccio). The bracelet bag accents this color scheme and draped
effect with a clever looped closing. An inexpensive addition to your
wardrobe, when you crochet it yourself. Directions for crocheting

M. L, F._ I have been married
nine years and I have tried to love
my husband and be a good mother to
our children. Hi slove for me has
grown cold as he doesn’t pay any
attention to me at all. So far as
supporting his family he is okay
but it takes more than money to
make a happy home life. I would
enjoy a little attention from him
occasionally. We discussed it once
and he hinted that he wasn’t well
but he halfway changed his state,
ment and we haven’t discussed it
any more. Would it be best for
me to leave and try to make it on
my own? v
Ans: Jeopardizing yov^r faimily
and home for a more coorful love
life would be a grave mistake.
Were you to leave in search of a
more glamourous future, you would
never f in dtih ienesamfwyp mfwy
never find it as your mind would
constantly be o.n your home and
family. What you really need to do
is to come to a better understand
ing with your husband If he is not
well, see to it that he gets proper
medical attention In the meantime
make yourself more desireable to be
loved. Love must come voluntarily,
it cannot be forced It is up to you
to create the proper atmosphere to
encourage him. Show genuine ap
preciation for the nice home he is
providing and the courtesy extended
you and the children.
I
F I - I have been married 15
years. 1 am a religious woman,
president of the choir. My husband
does not attend church and he
doesn't like for me to go to choir
rehearsal and I love my, church
work as it is all the pleasure I get.
I am true to my husband and help
support myself, yet he isn't satis
fied with anything that I do.
Ans: It irritates your husband for
you to show so much interest in this
group of which he has no part He
doesn't object to your church ac
tivities but it does irk him for you
to leave him alone to attend choir
practice. Invite him to go along
with you to meet the different mem.
bers. You will never be able to in_
terest him in these activities as
long as it is a bone of contention
between you I would be better in
the long run for you to make a few
concessions in his favor and win
him over to the church Peace in
the home is the first step to ever
lasting happiness.
B. B - I do love my husband but
if it will make him any happier I
will give him his freedom. What
should I do?
Ans: You agreed to give him his
freedom but there is no point in
rushing it as he may get over this
sudden desire You still love him
and there is a possibility that he
may not be a.s anxious for his free
dom as he once thought If you two J
could be together, the chances are j
all differences could be wiped out 1
1
LI E W - L am going with a man 1
who is 20 years -'lder than L hut I
love him very much When we first
started going together he acted like
he cared very much for me but now
he doesn't act like he cares any
thing for me Although he gives me
anything 1 ask him for 1 have five
children, could that be the reason
he doesn't want me Tell me what
to do?
Ans: Almost any man would take
cold feet at the prospect of six hum
grv mouths to feed.... that's more
responsibility than he wants to as,
sume Should you be fortunate e
nough to find someone whom you
love and want to marry, bear in
mind that your children are your
responsibility and you are going to
have to shoulder it whether married
or single Your present yried is
deeply interested in you and has
proven it ever since he has known
you But he doesn’t feel that he car.

In my visits around the country
looking for new ideas, I’ve found
many indications that a large num
ber of the million new homes a
year which are expected to be built
after the war, will be away from
present residential districts. In
fact, some real estate companies
report as much as 70% of their
home-site sales are now in new
areas on the fringe of the cities, in
new suburbs and subdivisions and
in country acreage where the fam
ilies can enjoy clean, fresh air and
safe, trafficless streets.
If you’re planning to move away
from the hustle and bustle of met
ropolitan life you probably con
sider yourself somewhat of a pio
. peer. But you need not leave any
of the city’s conveniences behind
you! Not in the least!
i The so-called “city" gas is de
pendent upon gas mains which may
not reach your contemplated home
for many years, if ever. However,
I’ve talked with many families who
are using liquefied petroleum gas,
butane or propane, and find it very
satisfactory. You can easily find
hundreds of users to talk to about
this fuel because more than 2,000,
000 homes now use it and one in
every eight gas ranges in the
United States is fueled with this
gas which' you may know as either
“tank” or “bottled” gas!
Everyone I’ve talked to believes
that liquefied petroleum gas is a
superior fuel for the range, for
silent gas refrigeration, water and
even room heating. And it’s cer
tainly easy to find because it is
available everywhere under dozens
of trade names of individual com
panies. And you’ll find the serv
ice is excellent, too.
