Colorful Fruit Desserts
We may like meat and vegetables
prepared the same way day after
aay, dui mere s
at least one type
of food in which
we like plenty of
variety. Yes, des
serts, of course!
Now that the war is over and we
can go back to many of our fa
vorite foods, with rationing permit
ting, we'll still have to hold of? on
desserts that still take it easy on the
sugar canister.
My advice to you, in this matter
of desserts, is to concentrate on
fruits, both fresh and canned. They
contain sweetening and will not re
quire too much extra sugar. Then,
too, there are lots of time-saving
tricks you can apply to dessert mak
ings, like chilling them or using
biscuit mixture.
Select several of these desserts
and do try them on your family.
Serve them and be proud:

If you’re looking for something dif
ferent and colorful in fruit desserts,
you’ll find this lime-pear pie just

crust, which is fat-saving, lime gela
tin and bottled gingerale. Only five
pear halves are needed:

The pre-cooked special baby cer

ire attractive to insects, much the
ame as whole wheat flour is more
ubject to insect infestation than
s plain white flour. Placed on a
•antry shelf with other cereals,
mu may find that insects will
eave the less nutritious foods in
•reference for these more nutri
ious ones. They should be stored
n a dry place, not too warm. Espe
:ially after the package has been
ipened, it may be best to keep it
n the refrigerator.
The canned baby foods, also
anned evaporated milk, are steril
zed and will keep almost indefi
litely before opening. All canned
mods should be stored in a cool,
Iry place. Food in glass jars
ihould be stored in the dark be
muse light destroys one of the
ritamins, riboflavin, very rapidly,
rhis also applies to milk in glass
iiottles.
When baby first begins to eat
:anned strained vegetables and
fruits, only part of the car. may
ie used at a meal. As with can
ted milk, the can or jar has been
sterilized when the food was pack
id and is a perfectly safe con
miner. The top of the can should
washed before opening, then
‘.he unused portion may be left in

frigerated.
If there is no refrigerator, do
tot attempt to keep canned milk

ooked foods and need the same
are and treatment as other cook

NO STRETCH
On dress-up evenings in most
towns there is considerable bed
room muttering from the distaff
side about the quality of harness
that goes underneath the feminine
finery seen by the outside world
Has been ever since the War Pro
duction Board decided rubber, cot
ton and steel strips could be put t»
somewhat more rugged combat ust
than they would get in foundation
garments- So naturally there was
matronly hope that Army releases
of large amounts of cotton and rub
ber would enable manufacturers to
correct matters- Feminine anticip;-*
tion was further whetted by a wide
ly publicized WPB statement to ths
effect that twoway stretch girdles
would be back by November.
PRICE REGULATIONS
The trouble with OPA pricing in
this reconversion period is literally
the same fault founid in wartime
corhetry—no stretch.
In practically every field, apparel
automobiles, foods, gadgets, building \
materials, that fact shows again and
again- All production costs are up,
especially labor costs, and the OPA
partially recognizes this. Yet man
ufacturers are not being permitted
to make those price adjustments j
necessary to profitable business and
the sort of volume production w-hich
makes jogs.
ELASTICITY NEEDED
Until the government forces OPA
to adc! the sort of elasticity that is
needed obth in feminine fashions and
the national economy, reconversion is
likely to be slow
There is not much logis in deny
ing people things they did without
while victory was in the making.
Why stave off the prosperity that
comes when there is a demand for
goods, a willingness to make them,
money to buy them, and a great
need for the jobs those factors ere'
ate’
Then came disappointment. The
Corset and Brassiere Ass. of Am
erica openly declared that no such
supplies wuold be available in any
thing like volume qcantities. Dis-1
appointment could be traced back to
that perennial disappointment, the
OPA- Foundation makers said,
“While manufacturers are now freed
from regulations which formerly re
stricted the buying of materials, they
are not freed from price regulations
which determine the types of garm
ents they may produce-”

_ I
OPPOSES BILL FOR NEW LABOR
RELATIONS BOARD
Washington, DC_Copies of the
resolution adopted by the NAACP
Board of Directors at its Septem
ber meeting strongly disapproving
S. 1171, the Federal Industrial Re.
lations Act, were presented to its
sponsors, Senators Carl A. Hatch.
(D„ N. Mexico) and Joseph H. Ball
(R., Minn.,) by Leslie Perry of the
NAACP Washington Bureau last
week. Senator Harold H. Burton,
(R. Ohio) the other co-sponsor was
recently given a geat on the bench
of theAUnited States Supreme court
The bill propoxes to gcrap the
National Relations Board to handle
controversies between labor mil
management.
The NAACP listed the following
objections to the bill:
(1) The right to strike would bo
more seriously limited in peacetime
under this bill than it \vas in time
of war.
(2) The salutary estrictiong of
the Norris-La Guarilia Act against
labor ipjunctions by federal courts
would be relaxed an 1 largely set a
gide.
(2) The bill is „ i drawn as to
exclude from federal regulation
great numbers of industries and
enterprises over which the Nation
al Labor Board now exercises jur
isdiction with the 8anctlon of the
Supreme Court.
(4) Union "influence" upon and
"interference" with the detection of
a bargaining representative is pro
hibited, thus opening the way for
undue restriction of proper union
activity of labor organizeis
(5) Although the bill contains i
a desirable prohibition of a closed
shop where Negroes are excluded
from union meirbership, it appar
ently would permit a closed shop:
with Jim Crow and "Auxiliary” Ne
gro localg. Moreoveri a labor or
ganization which excludes Negroes
altogether may become the "exclus
ive bargaining agent” for these ex
cluded Negroes inder the bill.
Negro railroad men_ among others,
know the consequences of such an
arrangement.
The NAACP indicated that it
would testify in opposition to the
bill when hearings are held on it
