One Dessert—Many Variations (See Recipes Belowl Variations on a Theme I have often thought that most of us would be better cooks if we learned to make a few dishes well instead of gathering hundreds of recipes without ever learning how to do any one of them well enough to set in front of company. Then, if these few dishes get monotonous, there are always good variations to use to make them seem entirely dif ferent than the basic recipe. One woman whom I know frankly admits that the only dessert which she can be certain of turning out “right and proper” is a bavarian cream. But is it monotonous to have bavarian cream whenever we go to have dinner with her? No, indeed. Some times it turns out to be maple flavored, garnished with pecan nutmeats. Another time she will cleverly flavor it with choco late and coffee, a most intriguing combination. Then during the fruit season, she has a spree by adding delicious combinations like pine apple and apricots. Basic Bavarian Cream. (Serves 6) 1 envelope plain, unflavorcd gelatin Vi cup cold water 2 egg yolks % cup sugar % teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup thin cream 2 egg whites Soften gelatin in cold water. Scald milk in top part of double boiler, then gradually add the combined egg yolks, sugar and salt. Return to the double boiler and cook, until custard-like in consistence. Remove from heat, add gelatin and stir until dissolved. Add vanilla and •cream. Chill, and when mixture be gins to thicken, beat until fluffy with rotary egg beater. Fold in stiffly beaten whites. Pour into mold or molds that have been rinsed in cold water. Chill until firm. When ready to serve, unmold and garnish as de sired. Bavarian Cream Variations. Maple Bavarian: Make above recipe using shaved maple sugar in pla^v of white sugar. One dozen cut marshmallows may be added or cup chopped pecans or walnuts. Butterscotch: Omit white sugar. Cook % cup brown sugar with 2 tablespoons butter and add this to hot custard. Chocolate Rice: Beat 3 table spoons cocoa into 1 cup cooked rice and fold into bavarian mixture. Fruit Bavarian: Fold 1 cup diced fruit into bavarian cream after it starts to thicken. Chocolate Bavarian: Add 2 squares melted, unsweetened choco late or 6 tablespoons cocoa to scald ed milk. Continue as directed. If a slight flavor of coffee is desired with the chocolate, substitute 1 ta blespoon cold, boiled coffee for 1 ta blespoon of the milk. Coffee Bavarian: Substitute Vz cup cold, boiled coffee for Vz cup milk and add 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Ice cream comes in for many Lynn Says How to make good pastry: The proper proportion for pastry is 1 cup flour, salt to taste and % cup shortening or substitute. The important points are: have ingredients as cold as possible; never over-mix shortening and flour. The mixture should be “lumpy” about the size of giant peas. When the shortening is not thoroughly mixed with the flour, it "streaks” and makes for flak ier crust. Too much water makes the pastry a "toughie.” Use just enough to make the dough stick together. On damp days, less water is required, on sunny days, more L bers’ Point-Easy ..'enus Lima Beans with Ham Chunks Seven-Minute Cabbage Fried Tomatoes Jellied Pear Salad Bran Muffins Jelly Orange Chiffon Pie Beverage delicious variations, too, if you have a good basic recipe: Custard Base Ice Cream. 2 cups milk % cup sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch 3 eggs 1 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon vanilla Scald 1*£ cups milk and add all but 2 tablespoons of the sugar to it. Add cornstarch and salt to remain ing Vz cup milk. Add to milk which has been heated in top part of double boiler, stirring occasionally. Beat 3 egg yolks and 1 white, add the hot custard and return to double boiler to cook for 5 minutes. Chill. Beat 2 egg whites with the remain ing sugar until stiff and add to chilled custard with vanilla. Final ly add cream which has been beat en until thick but not stiff. Freeze without stirring. Ice Cream Variations. Banana: Crush three bananas through potato ricer, adding 2 ta blespoons lemon juice. Add to cus tard before adding egg white. Caramel: Heat the sugar of the above recipe in heavy skillet stir ring until melted and light brown in color. Add V* cup wa*er and stir until smooth. Cook the corn starch with the milk and salt and add the caramel plus 1 tablespoon of sugar. Proceed as directed above. Chocolate: Melt 114 to 2 table spoons of chocolate over hot water adding to custard while hot. Coffee: Scald 14 cup finely ground coffee in the milk, then strain through three thicknesses of cheese cloth. Proceed as above, adding 14 teaspoon almond flavoring. Mint: Add 14 teaspoon mintextract for vanilla. Tint the ice cream a delicate green. Or, if mint extract is not available, melt 1 cup crushed or ground mints in milk. Tint pink or green, as desired. Peach: Add 1 cup crushed peaches, 14 cup sugar and Yt tea spoon almond extract. Omit va nilla. Now we come to an interesting variation in the meat department. When you want to dress up pork chops for company, here are two excellent suggestions. They are stuffed to stretch the meat. Pork Chops I. 6 thick pork chops (cut pocket alongside bone) 2 cups toasted bread cubes Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons parsley 4 tablespoons fat 1 can tomato soup Stuff pork chops with toasted bread cubes and pars ley. Pin together W with a toothpick. Sear chops on both sides in skil let. Season with salt and pepper, add tomato soup, cover and cook over low heat for 45 to 60 minutes. Perk Chops II. 6 thick pork chops, cut for stuffm 154 cups cooked rice 2 pimientos, shredded Salt and pepper to taste 2 tablespoons lard or substitute Stuff pork chops with a well sea soned mixture of rice and pimien tos. Pin with toothpick. Sear chops until golden brown-. Season with salt and pepper, and add V2 cup water, cover tightly, and cook until tender. Released by Western Newspaper Union.

FitzGibbon Four thousand years ago a hungry man started “inflation” when he bar tered away his birthright for a mess of pottage. And Esau never lived that down. Likewise, if we Americans in sist upon gratifying our desires by trading our plentiful dollars for in dustry’s scarce supplies of consumer goods, we, like Esau, will barter away our birthright of economic stability in the post-war years to come. Spending an extra dollar a day doesn’t seem much. After all “it’s only a dollar.” But spending that ex tra dollars—300 days in the year— amounts to $40 billion for the coun try—$40 billion squandered—because there is not that much extra value available on meat blocks, garment racks, or housing markets. The extra dollars spent, buy in flation! To present this wanton dissipation of our surplus buying power we must channel its flow into reservoirs of credit to conserve and augment its present value for future distribution when post-war industry can produce ample consumer supplies. This is a private hght. It s personal to each of us. It’s a battle, the prog ress and outcome of which affect every American pocketbook today and the strength of our individual and national economic structure in the to morrows that will come. It is a con flict, however, in which each one of us may arm himself with a ready and potent weapon effectively to destroy our common enemy—inflation. That weapon is War Savings Bonds. Wage earners are receiving more money now than ever before. Income to individuals will amount to about $160 billion during the fiscal year 1945. Of this, normal taxes—Federal, State, County and local—will take some $21 billion. This will leave ap proximately $139 billio nin the hands of the American people. It is esti mated that of this some $99 billion will be spent for necessary consumer goods and services, thus leaving $40 billion available for savings. It is obvious, of course, that if we should insist upon using this $40 bil lion to acquire merchandise valued at $99 billion for which a like sum has already been provided, we would in face be paying $139 billion for com modities and services worth but $99 billion, accordingly the surplus funds available in the hands of the Ameri can people, $40 billion, would con stitute the margin of inflation. While a portion of this excess revenue will be used for insurance and savings ac counts in banks, building and loans and similar thrift institutions, the best possible use that can be made of the remainder of these funds is to invest them in United States War Savings Bonds. Each one of us therefore is urged to take an active part in fighting infla tion. We cannot hope to win a com plete victory over it unless we wage war against it every day in every week throughout the years by invest ing every available dollar in War Savings Bonds. WHITE MEN TO TAKE AWAY ADVANTAGES WON BY NE GROES UNLESS LEADERSHIP CAN CONTROL MASSES Probably our greatest need today is someone to give the race a lasting lesson in the fundamental values of life beyond the mere routine of get ting the job to earn the money with which to buy food, pay the rent and purchase clothes. Without going into the long argu mentative passages of profound so cialogical whyfores and wherefores of the race problem, it can be safely said that the American Negro stands in danger of losing every social ad vantage he has won or been granted unless he pulls himself together right away and gets rid of his own burden. That burden is, lack of mass discip line, lack of respect for the rights of others, and true pride in honest race achievement. The war is going to end some day and when it does, many of the tem porary advantages we have won in the midst of a national hysteria are going to he taken away from us by the white man flushed with victory and with enhanced pride in the abili ties of the Nordic to rule the world; including its darker peoples. Dark Future Looms The prejudices which we fight at home so valiantly are going to be more vicious, and necessary to the white man as he settles down to re construction of his domestic social or der. First and foremost among the reasons that will be put forward why the Negro must be kept in the status of a second rate citizen or inferior being is that he cannot control his own people. It will be claimed that he must constanly be supervised by whites (whether by policemen, lynch ing mobs, or Jim Crow rules and reg ulations) to avoid serious conse quences to the overall pattern of Am erican domestic social and economic Use The Omaha Guide As A— Medium of Advertising BLENDED WHISKEY 86 proof. 60% grain neutral spirits, k.

The white man is going to point to all the outward manifestations of our lack of control as a basis for his su perior attitude; he is going to illus trate his case with the increasing in cidents of our juvenile delinquency, pointing out cases which he .will con tend stress characteristic racial ten dencies. He is going to show that Ne gro children, masses of them are al most completely ignorant of the dis ciplinary controls that go with Amer ican family life and run wild through a thousand streets of as many Amer ican cities until they either settle down of their own accord or are dis ciplined by the prison cell, gallows or .electric chair. He is going to point out, in his argument for his reason for putting increased pressure on the Negro, that Negro leadership is de manding and getting more economic and social advantages than the Negro public or is ready to receive, that the Negro of earlier generations (reared in the fear of the white man, taught by example to accept the inferior sta tus in which he was placed) is typical of the kind of Negro to be desired to live in the midst of the “new white” civilization the white man intends to build in this country, after the war. We Suffer Too Much Waste It is strange, indeed, that in our rapid acquisition of better places in American life—the outstanding jobs that have come to us in recognition of our abilities; the social prestige we are attaining on the exploits of our Marian Andersons, Paul Robesons, Joe Louises, Ben Davises, George Washington Carvers, and so on—those leading us haven’t seen the fact that the great mass of Negroes—the 20 million and over of us who make up America’s minority grouu, are being criminally neglected. It would be lovely indeed, if that small minority of the American Ne groes who have had the advantages of schooling, exposure to cultural in fluences are ready to take their place in the Negro middle class, were all that mattered. The problem then would be basi cally changed. The possibilities of complete integration into American life of the Negro would be brighter. The efforts of Frederick Douglass, W. E. B.
