The Greater Omaha Guide s I HOME-MAKER’S CORNER \A7ALTER GATES sat straight as * ^ a rod. although it was nearly four hours since he had started wait ing to see the managing editor. He was poised hopefully on the edge of the chair, as if he expected each i minute might bring back the copy 1 boy with the news that Mr. Pool was ready to see him about the re porting job. But, instead, the photographer came around the corner for the fourth time from the direction of the clacking city room. Walt stopped him. “You'll never get to see the old man sitting here, Matey,” the photographer informed him. “He hates appointments. Funny that way.” “Then how does anyone ever see him?” Walt inquired. His forehead was furrowed deeply, up to the line of his thick blond hair. He explained he had had a little reporting experi ence before Army service. Now that he was discharged, he wanted to get back into newspaper work. He shifted his weight from one foot to the other, proving to himself again that the artificial legs they pass out these days are no handicap. The photographer stepped closer to Walt and spoke softly from the corner of his mouth. He suggested Walt break in on the chief. “But don’t let on you know who he is.” the photographer schemed. “I know a guy who got a job that way, only he didn’t know he was talking to Pool, see? "But I couldn’t do that,” Walt pro tested. "What’s to stop you? Pool’s a quiet guy, but he likes ’em bold.” M . . . But I think the paper is too neutral." As Walter descended to the press room where the chief was, the acrid odor of the etching acid reached him. He had always thought it dis pleasing. But now he recognized it as part of the nostalgia every en thusiastic reporter has for a news paper office. It was akin to the un kempt appearance of city rooms and the crippled typewriters about which the reporters always complain. Walt casually observed the blur of newsprint threading through the presses and, pretending he belonged there, from the corner of his eye he hunted for Mr. Pool. All the men wore the handmade boxlike caps which most pressmen fashion for themselves from a piece of news print paper—a!! except one. Walt looked at him more closely. He stood with his hands behind his back, doing nothing but observe moaning machines. He fitted exactly the photographer's description of Mr. Pool. He wore large black rimmed glasses and his graying hair was parted far to one side. Walt strolled casually up to him and they watched the presses together. After waiting for Mr. Pool to speak first, Walt ventured: "There's no end to the excitement of seeing the paper go to press, is there?" He had to shout to be heard. The man merely glanced at Walt coolly over the dark rims of his glasses. “I like the Post,” Walt resumed. "It's a good solid paper. Lot of tra dition behind it. But ...” here’s where he took the photographer's cue. He searched self-consciously for ideas that were not his own. “. . . But I think the paper is too neutral. It never gets excited about any thing. Know what I mean?" There was still no remark from Mr. Pool. "It ought to have definite policies. Ought to guide the thinking of its readers on important topics.” “Yeah?" The man looked Wall sternly up and down. “I think the Post needs new blood,” Walt went on. “Young blood.” He considered giving him self as an example, but decided against being too obvious. “Of course it’s the men at the top who count where policies are concerned. Perhaps the Post needs a new man aging editor." He was sorry as soor: as the bold words had passed his lips. But his comments had brought the man’s head around with a jerk. But now, with Mr. Pool glaring at him in apparent anger, Walt could only add weakly. “What do you think?" “I think you're batty as a loon." W-alt felt his cheeks burn. He sought some way to escape as gracefully as possible. "But I wouldn’t know, ’ the man added. He brought his hands from behind his back and placed a boxlike paper cap on his head. "I’m only a pressman mv self.” Neighbors Will Appreciate Garden Gift Basket (See Recipes Below) Garden Gifts Now that we once more have peace all over the world, we all be reinstated. ought to start our good neighbor : policy right at ' home. Lots of lit tle friendly ges tures that mean * so much have been forgotten during the war, but they should Something that all of us with a garden can do is to share with a neighbor. There are probably lots of things that you yourself cannot use that would be welcomed by a neigh bor. Send a basket of garden vege tables or fruit, all dressed up with fancy wrappings and ribbon, and see what a friend you can make. Incidentally, include a lemon or two to make it handy for the home maker to season either fruit or veg etables. Another gift that will be welcome is a set of your favorite recipes, with or without a basket of garden prod uce. Every woman has a few choice dishes which her friends have asked for, and it makes for more friendli ness to be generous with the instruc tions. Here are some brief suggestions which I'd like to pass on to you, par ticularly for vegetables: If you find yourself short of salad dressings for a tossed salad, sprinkle 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil on the indi vidual salad t*-"n squeeze lemon juice generously over this, salt to taste and toss the salad lightly. To make a good, old-fashioned cole slaw, add the following amounts to 2M cups of shredded cabbage: % teaspoon salt, 1% tablespoons sugar, 6 tablespoons coffee cream, and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. In making pickled beets, cook the beets first, then slice and cover with equal parts of lemon juice and water. Add sugar to taste, and slices of sweet onion, if desired. Now that fall has come, we can start turning our attention to heartier foods again. Cabbage is a good vegetable to use because it is coming in season: Stuffed Cabbage. (Serves 5 to G) 3 tablespoons uncooked rice 1 pound ground beef 1 egg well-beaten 2 tablespoons minced onion 2 teaspoons salt 14 teaspoon pepper 8 medium to large cabbage leaves Lynn Says: Refrigerate Your Foods: Re frigeration is necessary to most foods not only to preserve their appearance and palatability, but also to prevent food spoilage. In most cases, temperatures of 40 degrees will take care of the situation. This temperature is best maintained Meat, milk, vegetables and fruits are extremely perishable and should be refrigerated imme diately. Root vegetables do not need as low as 40 degrees and may be kept out of the ice box. Bananas need never be refriger ated. Keep all foods covered except meat. Cover it lightly with waxed paper. Fruit needs chilling, not freez ing. The crisper or open dish or even paper cartons are excellent for keeping eggs in the refrigera tor. Meat needs the coolest place in he refrigerator—right under the freezing unit. Bacteria multiply very raridlv unless it is well pro —* -a Lynn Chambers’ Menu.

Released by Western Newspaper Union • FOR GREATER COVERAGE—Advertise in THE GREATER OMAHA GUIDE NEW POLICY ON RENTAL CONSTRUCTION Washington—An incentive for the construction of apartments and private homes for rent was given builders last week in a new policy by the Office of Price Ad ministration fixing rents in ad vance of construction, and which provides liberal allowances for increased building costs since 1939. “The acute need for rental hous ing demands that we give build-, ers every inducement possible to speed new rental construction without permitting runaway in flation.” a constantly increasing burden on the tight housing sup ply,” he added. , Rent regulations are being a mended so that maximum rents on new housing units will be bas ed on prevailing rents for com parable accommodations on the maximum rent date plus a sub stantial allowance to offset cur rent higher construction. Builders may present their plans and specifications to their local OPA area rent office toget her with their proposed schedule of rents before starting construc tion. OPA will check the pro posed rents with those on com parable units fixed at maximum rent date rates and add an appro priate allowance for increased costs, uilders then will be given a commitment by OPA as to the maximum rents to be allowed on the proposed units, built accord ing to the plans submitted. This will enable builders to proceed with construction promptly, as sured of maximum rents they may change. The plan has been under study for some time and has been check ed in specific instances with the figures of builders who are reaay to go ahead with proects. It has been found that the rent ceilings OPA plans to allow will be in line with those necessary to induce construction on a sound basis, j OPA said.

George LitG: fort. Since May of 1941 on through August, 1945, the daily and week ly newspapers of America pub lished a total of $103,605,832.00 worth of War Bond advertising.
