PEARL BAILEY’S HANDS
TO BE INSURED
Pearl Bailey, the sensation of “St.
Louis Woman” which opened in New
York last month, is having her hands
insured for $100,000 according to an
interview with her in the May issue of
Headlines and Pictures. This is because
she sings with her expressive hands al
most as much as with her throaty fine
voice.

released explode wide of bridge;
and scores of craters testify to
failure of previous standard
bomb attacks. Developed by the
Gulf Oil research for the Air
Forces, Azon bombs are steered
by the bombardier thru radios in
their tails right onto the target.
Introduced in final stages of the
war, guided bombs have since
been improved. The Razon bomb,
an advance over Azon, has been
developed, adding still further
precision to US airpower.
NOT APPEASEMENT BUT
UNDERSTANDING OF RUSSIA
ATLANTA, Ga., April 23—If any
kind of practical relationship with the
Russian people is to be established, di
(Terences must be ironed out, and very
frank and open discussions held con
cerning oil-bearing territory, access to
raw materials, economic problems and
territorial differences. This is the opin
ion of George Soloveytchik, author and
newspaperman, who spoke at Atlanta
University Monday under the auspices
of the Institute of International Edu
cation. To illustrate hispoint, the spea
ker referred to the Iranian situation,
the main issue, a dispute over oil, was
ignored and the alleged differences
concerned only minor issues. While
not advocating a policy of appeasement
he believes that the western democra
cies should show a policy of appease
ment, he believes that the western de
mocracies shhould show more under
standing of the Russians who have yet
to learn from older and more mature
nations.. Though he believes strongly
that Britain and America should op
pose communism within their own
boundaries, he thinks they should not
seek to distort or find some secret mo
tive in everything the Russians do.
U.S. SAVINGS BONDS DIVISION

“Domestic rabbit is on the Amer
ican menu for keeps,” say count
less Americans who first tasted
rabbit during the recent meat
shortage. “Domestic rabbit will re
main high in American food favor
not only because it is delicious
eat, economical, and easy to pre
pare, but because it ranks high
among all meats in protein value,”
says Miss Elspeth Bennett, foods
authority in charge of the Nutri
tion Service of the Ralston Purina
Company.
“Fried rabbit is easy to prepare
and attractive to serve,” advises
Miss Bennett. “Dip pieces of a
two pound rabbit, cut for frying,
in a mixture made of one slightly
beaten egg, lVfe teaspoons of-salt,
and M teaspoon of pepper. Roll
pieces in fine, dry bread crumbs.

then reduce heat, cover, and cook

Garnish with parSley, and serve on

gravy.”

WHEN rte snow falls on my town I
always I’eol as though it's nature’s
way of covering up the mistakes of
humanity a little. Thus the pettiness
and unhtippiness of human beings are
hidden away purposely for the winter
holiday season.

I have always had a great
affection for women, mainly be
cause I believe 1 understand
them. Women can keep a secret
just as well as men, only it takes
more of them to do it.

Of course, good fortune and
pretty girls are alike. When
either of them smiles upon you,
don’t wait for a formal intro
duction.

quarter.
The G Bon^ Sales for 1946 in
January, February, and March
totalled 58.406,400 against $5,519,
400 in 1945.
Nationally, the first quarters’
sales of E, F, and G Bonds, were
79 percent of those in the first
quarter of 1945. Nebraska sales
were 53 percent above the nation
al average.
Allen T. Hupp, Chairman of the
Nebraska Advisory Committee to
the US Savings Bonds Division,
commented on the fact that of
$41,786,000,000 of E, F and G
Bonds sold since the Treasury be
gan isuing bonds, $12,086,000,000
or only 21.06 percent of the total
issued have been redeemed. Re
demption of E Bonds total 26-70
percent an<j 73.3 cents out of every
dollars worth of these bonds were
still in the hands of the original
owners at the end of March.
The wise investor is holding on
to his bonds and buying as many
more as he can afford, said Hupp.

Even new brides will find it
simple to make creamy-smooth
chocolate pie with the directions
given in the column. Whipped cream
or meringue may be used as a top
ping for this chocolate delight.
Culinary Strategy
If you’re one of those cooks who
likes to have toothsome dishes to
set on the table, but hates to fuss
with too many of the frills, then
there’s no time like the present to
try out some of the ready-mixed
foods.
New brides, and by those I mean
not only the recently wed, but those
wno nave teen
married for
awhile, but are
just now cooking
for a brand new v
husband, will find F
plenty of help on /
grocery shelves.
a iwisi oi me wrist at nome, an
eye to attractive decoration, along
with an ability to follow instruc
tions will yield rich rewards.
It used to be that a pie was diffi
cult to tackle, but not with all the
sugar-saving mixes we now have on
hand. You can use one of the pack
aged preparations for the filling, or
sweetened condensed milk which is
now back on the market.
The pie shell, too, may be made
of a ready-prepared mix. or it can
be tossed together from one of the
good pie crust recipes which you
have on hand. In a' cream pie, the
crust is baked ahead of time and
allowed to cool before filling.
Magic Chocolate Pie.
2 squares unsweetened chocolate
1% cups (1 can) sweetened con
densed milk
H cup water
Baked pie shell (8-inch)
Melt chocolate in top of double
boiler. Add sweetened condensed
milk, stirring over boiling water
about five minutes or until mixture
is thickened. Add the water and mix
until thoroughly blended. Pour into
baked pie shell and garnish with
whipped cream, if desired. Chill
before serving.
Butterscotch Tarts.
Make tart shells either in muffin
tins or small pie plates. Prepare
butterscotch filling according to di
rections on packaged mix, adding a
beaten egg yolk and melted butter
if extra richness is desired. Fill
cooled pastry shells and top with
meringue made by beating an egg
white and blending in two table
spoons of granulated sugar. Swirl on
top of tarts and brown under broiler
for two to three minutes.
For those of you who are anxious
about making desserts, there's good
news in the ap
pearance of an
extra - sweet corn
syrup on the
ma rket. It con
tains a higher
amount of dex
trose than the
ordinary corn syrup, and while it
Is not only more nutritious, it is
also 50 per cent sweeter than the
standard corn syrup.
Here are two recipes which you
will enjoy using with extra-sweet
corn syrup:
Refrigerator Cookies.
(Makes 4 dozen 2-inch cookies)
^ cup shortening
Lynn Says:
Prepare foods in advance and
save time: Meat loaves, stews
and soups may be made in ad
vance and stored in the refrigera
tor for later use. Just heat and
serve when ready.
Mix a week’s supply of refriger
ator rolls and bake as needed.
Freshly baked rolls are always a
treat.
Dry ingredients for biscuits,
muffins and pastry can be mixed
in advance and the liquids added
just before using. Chilling makes
most of these mixes even better.
Home-made frozen creams,
ices and sherbets may be made
in advance and stored in the
freezing compartment.
Gelatin puddings and salads
are quickly served if they are
tossed together in advance. Cus
tards, too, keep well when chilled.
i
‘A cup sugar
% cup extra-sweet corn syrup
1 egg, slightly beaten
K teaspoon vanilla
1% cups flour
H teaspoon baking powder
Cream shortening and add sugar
slowly, creaming well after each
addition. Add the corn syrup, a
small amount at a time and con
tinue creaming. Add a third of the I
egg at a time and beat well after
each addition. Blend in vanilla. Sift
flour, measure and sift with baking
powder. Add to creamed mixture,
blending well. Shape into a roll, two
inches in diameter. Wrap in waxed
paper and chill in refrigerator. Slice i
very thin and bake in a moderately
hot (375 degrees F.) oven for 10
minutes.
Apple Pie.
7 apples
1 cup extra-sweet corn syrup
1 cup cream
1 tablespoon corn starch
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pie shell
Peel and core the apples and ther.
cook them with the corn syrup in t
covered pan un
til tender. Re
move the cover
and cook down
the syrup. Make
a pie shell using ^
a nine - inch tin. -
Place the apples
in the pie shell, pour in the cream, |
one tablespoon of cornstarch, one
tablespoon of sugar and dust with
cinnamon. Bake the pie in the open
shell.
If you have trouble keeping the '
cookie jar filled on busy school
days, then you’ll like this recipe
which makes four dozen delectable
crunchies:
Orange Crunchies.
(Makes 4 dozen)
1 cup flour
154 teaspoons baking powder
54 teaspoon salt
54 cup soft shortening
% cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
1 egg
% cup milk
3 cups corn flakes
% cup broken nuts
Sift flour before measuring, then
sift again with baking powder and
salt. Cream shortening, add sugar
and orange rind and cream until
light. Beat in egg vigorously. Add
flour mixture alternately with milk.
Fold in gradually corn flakes and
nuts. Drop from teaspoon onto a
greased baking sheet, two inches
apart. Bake in a moderately slow
(350 degrees F.) oven for 15 min
utes or until lightly browned. Re
move cookies from pan at once.
Butterscotch tarts are easy to
make when the pastry shells are
prepared or mixed in advance. A
ready-made filling will taste home
made with the addition of eggs and
butter, added for richness.
Now that bananas make their ap
pearance occasionally at the store,
you’ll be interested in new ways to
prepare them. Here they go into |
a mouth-watering pudding with a
vanilla wafer crust, custard and
meringue, all of which spell nourish
ment as well as good eating.
Banana Pudding.
(Serves 6)
% cup sugar
& cup flour
Va, teaspoon salt
2 eggs, separated
2 cups scalded milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 sliced bananas
2 tablespoons sugar
Vanilla wafers
Line a seven-inch baking dish with
vanilla wafers. Mix sugar with ]
sifted flour and salt. Gradually add
beaten egg yolks to scalded milk
and pour slowly into dry ingredi
ents. Cook 15 minutes in a double
boiler, stirring constantly until
thickened. Add flavoring. Place
bananas in wafer-lined dish and
cover with custard. Beat egg
whites until stiff, add two table
spoons sugar and spread over cus
tard. Bake 15 minutes in a slow
oven
