The Greater Omaha Guide s HOME-MAKER’S CORNER Frosty Thirst-Quenchers Are Party Fare (See Recipes Below) Light Refreshments Looking for an easy way to return your social obligations? This is the _ season for it, be cause entertain ing can be cool, simple and still lovely. All food can be point easy and fun to fix because it does not re quire standing over a hot stove to have it ready. For the simpler type of party, rely heavily on cooling thirst quenchers with perhaps a few cookies or small cakes arranged at tractively on a platter. If the party takes the place of dinner, you might have several substantial salads. Try serving on the lawn or garden, buf ifet style, and save strain on house keeping. You will want to suggest coolness In your table settings. Blues and greens are very comfortable and you can relieve the monotony by having flowers in whites, pink or yellow, whichever goes best with what you have. I’ve picked out some especially good beverages for this season. Don’t use your supplies of canning sugar for such things as this. If you can manage to purchase ice cream and sherbet for the drinks, do so and save the sugar where it’s most needed. Orange Cream. '{/ (Serves 6) 4 egg yolks 414 cups orange juice 1H cups cream or rich milk | Sugar, if desired Beat egg yolks until light, add or ange juice and blend thoroughly.

(Serves 6 to 8) 1J4 cups light corn syrup H cup water Juice of 2 lemons Juice of 2 oranges % cup pineapple juice 4 tablespoons cracked ice Lynn Says Easy Sips: Next time you have iced tea. flavor with honey in stead of sugar and serve with lemon and orange wedges. It's delightful. If you have leftover fruit juices, coffee or tea, make ice cubes with them. Then frosty drinks will not have that watery flavor. Bits of fruit, berries or mint sprigs may also be frozen in ice cubes to make them attractive. For a good afternoon pick-up, try chilled tomato juice with gin ger ale; or, use apricot nectar with a dash of lemon juice. Iced coffee takes on a party touch when topped with meringue and sprinkled with cinnamon. Lynn Chambers’ Refreshment Suggestion •Party Punch Assorted Finger Sandwiches •Fudgies Assorted Mints or Small Candies •Recipes Given 4 cherries Few slices of banana 1% cups ginger ale Boil together syrup and water for 2 minutes.

R-leased bv W-s rn Unfon I New Operation Saves Lives of Blue Babies A new type of operation, appar ently the first of its kind in medical history, has saved the lives of three "blue'’ babies, according to a re port of the Journal of the American Medical association. Heretofore, a "blue” baby with heart disease pres ent at birth was considered beyond I the reach of surgical aid. In “blue” babies, a malformed heart causes insufficient oxygen in the blood, resulting in a bluish color • to the lips and skin. This deficiency is due to the failure of the blood to obtain adequate oxygen as it flows through the lungs. The operation is performed by en tering the chest cavity. One of the pulmonary (lung) arteries is joined to a large artery leading away from the heart. The greater pressure in this blood vessel forces the blood to flow into the pulmonary artery and on through the lung. In all three cases, the pulmonary artery was too small to allow adequate amounts of blood to get through to the lung. Al though the three operations differed in some details, in each instance the surgery greatly increased the vol ume of blood which reached the lungs, and hence the amount of blood which received oxygen. Discover New Vitamin A In Fish Liver Oils Discovery and isolation of a new vitamin A in fish liver oils, a “twin” of the well-known vitamin A, has been announced. The new vitamin now has been isolated in crystalline form, and has been found to have substantially the same biological po tency as vitamin A. Vitamin A itself, in fish liver oils, is not a single substance, but a mix ture of the vitamin first crystallized with a new vitamin A only recently obtained in crystalline form. Tests showed that from 20 to 40 per cent of vitamin A in typical oils such as halibut and dogfish liver is present as the new substance. There are preliminary indications that the con tent of the new vitamin may range as high as 58 and 49 per cent in whale liver oil, and USP Cod Liver Oil No. 2. The presence of this new factor in vitamin A had long been suspected. With its isolation, some of its chem ical, physical and biological proper ties have been established in the new work on the vitamin now an nounced. Cooking Vegetables The rule that water should be boil ing before vegetables are put in to cook has added support from recent research at Agricultural Extension stations. At the Alabama station, turnip greens, put on to cook in about their own weight of cold wa ter and cooked 30 minutes from the time boiling began, held only about a third of their original vita min C. but those put into boiling water and boiled the same length of time held three-fourths of their C. Likewise, asparagus and green beans, cooked by these two meth ods, retained much more C when started in boiling water. The Michi gan station reports that plunging greens into boiling water saves more C than cooking with only the wa ter that clings to the leaves. Chard and beet tops were tested. Chard, cooked about 22 minutes in a cov ered pan with no water except that left on the leaves after washing, held only 5 to 8 per cent of its C, and beets greens only 16 to 17 per cent. But when the greens were plunged into rapidly boiling water, they ! cooked to the same tenderness in i 7 to 8 minutes, and the chard held 12 to 26 per cent of its original j C, the beet greens 25 to 35 per cent. The shorter cooking by boiling wa ter start was the reason for the : greater saving of C, the scientists I believe. Treaty Port Foochow was one of the five treaty ports forced open by the British in China in 1842. Later, when the clip per was queen of the seas, this port became China’s leading tea-trade center. British and American sailing ships raced one another to western ports with precious cargoes from Foochow that meant a fortune to owners and crews. A pioneering Yankee clipper was the Thomas Perkins, which sailed from New York in November. 1844, and re turned in April, 1846, after rounding both Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope. Outdistr/nced by other tea-exporting centers of the Far East. Foochow in normal times still ships high-priced tea and other prod ucts, including timber, camphor, silks and fruits. Its fine lacquer : vares are noted around the world. * Inhaled Oxygen With all living things, inhaled oxy- j gen burns the carbon and hydrogen ' of the cells, frees heat, and forms products that are exhaled.’ We draw J air in and out of our lungs in order to supply the organs and tissues with oxygen, and to rid them of carbonic acid. By far the greatest part of our bodies’ oxygen intake passes through the lungs. To be exact. 99 per cent of it with the remaining 1 per cent passing through the skin. But of the total amount ot oxygen which is consumed by the skin, uine tenths comes from the blood, which received it from the lungs, and o’ j tenth comes from the air. Tha’ why skin wounds heal more quic | when they are exposed to the a; HOUSEHOLD Serve Garden Suppers, Picnics for Real Joy During Hot Weather Jellied vegetable salad is gar nished prettily with potato chips and cucumbers, topped with lemon and olives to make a tempting main dish for a summer supper. Porch supper, box lunches, picnics and buffet parties are an inseparable part of summer. There can be plenty of fun in the shade of the old apple or elm „ tree, and the fam [ ily will enjoy get , ting closer to the great outdoors. Sandwiches or early morning preparation will greatly simplify the work of meal preparation. Let sal ads and fruits rest in the cool of the refrigerator so they will be ready when time comes to eat. When chilled, they will be doubly good. Here’s an excellent meat loaf which may be served “as is” with mayonnaise or cucumber sour cream sauce or sliced for sand wiches. Make it easy for yourself by letting the family serve them selves: Refrigerator Meat Loaf. (Serves 6) 2% cups cold pork or veal H cup sweet mustard pickle % teaspoon salt !4 teaspoon pepper 4 tablespoons butter or substitute Grind together meat and pickle. Add remaining ingredients, blending together carefully. Pack into a waxed paper lined pan and let stand overnight or several hours in refrigerator.

(Enough for 12 sandwiches) 1 cup cooked veal or pork Yt cup finely shredded cooked carrot Yt cup finely chopped celery 2 tablespoons pickle relish S tablespoons mayonnaise Balt to taste Combine and mix ingredients to gether thoroughly. Chill before serving. Lynn Says: Supper Thoughts. When you are having cold cuts and a sub stantial salad as main interest for supper, have something hot in the way of a quick bread just out of the oven. Good suggestions in clude these that bake quickly: com bread, whole wheat biscuits, prune muffins and orange mar malade rolls. A freezer of homemade io' cream is a welcome treat at out doors suppers. Try some flavored with fresh berries or apricots and be sure to have the cookie jar handy. Doll up your garden party sup per salads with plenty of relishes such as olives, pickles, radisn roses and carrot sticks. They make for nice nibbling. Bring out the checked cloths and paper napkins, old-fashioned jugs for flowers, and picnic uten sils for under-the-trees eating. They go with the atmosphere. American Diet Before the war, surveys indicated that the American diet was deficient in thiamin, riboflavin and niacin— the nutrients that are added when bread and flour are enriched. It is true that the whole grain breads contain these nutrients naturally, but the American people prefer— even insist on—light, fluffy, white bread. Nippy Filling. (Enough for 9 sandwiches) 1 tablespoon horseradish 1 tablespoon cold water 2 cups finely ground wieners 1 cup grated American cheese 3 tablespoons finely chopped green pepper 1 teaspoon salt Dash of pepper Mayonnaise to moisten Mix horseradish and let stand 10 minutes.

Baked 1 hard-cooked egg, chopped % cup sandwich spread Tomato slices Crisp, cooked bacon Flake fish and add sandvrich spread and chopped egg. Seive spread on rolls with tomato and ba con slices. Salads carry out the prettiness of a porch or gar i den supper.

Add cold water or fruit juice. Chill un til firm. Combine celery, apple and cottage cheese with mayonnaise and season. Serve on top of gelatin in lettuce cups. Porch or garden supper calls for a hearty casserole of rice and sau sages with fresh salads and fruity desserts to make the meal complete and balanced. Fruit Salad Platter.

Line platter or salad bowl with salad greens. Arrange each of the fruits in separate groups, making a pleasing balance of color and shapes. Apple wedges, for ex ample. may be used to separate grapefruit segments. Use honey french or plain french dressing. Vegetable Salad Bowl. Any or all of these various vege tables may be combined in a tossed salad or platter: tomato wedges, cu cumber slices, green pepper rings, cauliflower flowerets, onion rings or scallions, green beans or peas cooked, grated raw carrots or cooked, sliv ered carrots and cooked shredded beets. French dressing served plain or blended with crumbled blue cheese is an excellent accompani ment.

(Running in a low-watt light bulb is a good way—but don't scorch things). Coat all sides of the drawer with good shellac or quick-drying varnish. This will retard absorption of humidity. Rubbing paraffin in the grooves and runners will also help.

My first conclusion is that he is a terrible bore. He uses 10,000 words to say something that could easily be put in 500 words. 'Hiis is, in itself, bad economy. It is a waste of 9,500 words. I don’t see how anybody so wasteful can set himself up as an authority on economics. I haven’t finished his "Capital” but I have, already, the feeling that the man is far more Inter ested in playing around with words than he is at solving any great human problems. Up to now, he reminds me of some of the dullest professors I had in college. And this is the father of mod ern economic monkey-business 1 Farm Employment Total farm employment in the United States in 1944 was about 7 per cent less than the average of the period 1935-39, according to esti mates of the Bureau of Agricul tural Economics. During 1943 the farms of the nation were operated with a total farm employment 5 per cent below the five prewar years. This means, therefore, that the total employment was reduced in 1944 about 2 per cent below the average employed during 1943. In the 1935 39 period about 10,700,000 people were engaged in farm employment on the average. Roughly three fourths of these were family work ers, and about one-fourth was hired labor. In Illinois, Indiana, Michi gan, Ohio and Wisconsin about 1,475,000 were employed on the aver age during the same period, of whom 77 per cent were family la borers. For 1944 the proportion of family labor was unchanged for the nation, but for the foregoing states the proportion represented by family labor had increased to 83 per cent.
