Armistice Day

Probably the saddest note to
be sounded this month of
November 11, when we com-
memorate the memory of the
dead of the First World War,
is the continued necessity for
military preparation.

We all hope and pray there
won't be any more wars. One
Armistice Day is quite enough.
Next time there probably won't
be anything or anyone left to
celebrate War Memorial Day
for the dead of the Third
World War, which probably
won't even make the world
safe for the ants.

Just in case we do get into
a war within the next few
years, there's the consolation
of the words of military
experts. We will be fighting
that war with improved wea-
pons of the Second World War.

Yes, a sad note to consider
when the bells toll throughout
the country at 11 A.M., and we
pause in our hearts to offer a
prayer for the dead of both
wars. Sad but necessary, for it
is the living that need to be
considered now. We cannot
resurrect the dead -- not even
with prayer. Whether they lie
in the North Sea or on the
slopes of Iwo Jima, they can
remain alive only in the light of
memory which pales as the
years pass.

They would want us to
remember the living, for it was
for the living they died, so, as
the bells toll and the nation
pauses in prayer, remember the
prayer for the living ,the
future, and the hope of the
future--the prayer for no more
wars.

SLATER
DAY BY DAY
(Strictly a woman's column
today)

Yes, I know it is well over a
month yet until Christmas, but
it isn't too early to begin
getting the Christmas spirit,
and this "What-to-do-with-old-
Christmas-cards idea" will help
to do just that.

Maybe you have always used
them profitably. Many people
give their old Christmas cards
to children's wards at hospitals
or to orphanages for the kiddies
to use in making scrapbooks,
etc.

Others gather them up the
next week after Christmas, tie
them in a neat bundle and let
them accumulate among their
souvenirs. That's what I've been
doing, and I have gobs of them.
So, really, I think this way to
use them is a grand idea.

You use them for single fold
notes, and use them all winter
long, especially during the
Christmas season.

You simply cut along the top
of the folder and remove the
inner sheet, using the outside
sheet to write your note on.
Christmas cards are always
printed on good paper, and the
pictures on the are prettier
than on the usual picture folder.
So--with a clip of scissors
you have an attractive sheet of
picture note paper.

Often times, the inner sheet
may be used too by simply
reversing the folder so that the
picture or printed sentiment is
on the outside. These may be
trimmed down in size to cut
off sender's name, or a flower
sticker pasted over name on
folded sheet will do just as well.

Envelopes can be purchased
in various sizes to fit Christmas
cards at most stationery
counters. Or use those envelopes
left over from your last two
boxes of stationery. Margins
may be trimmed off cards to
make them fit envelopes too.

So get out those batches of
old Christas cards and go to
work. You'll be surprised at the
attractive note folders you can
have.

TRUE FOOD FACTS

FRESH VEGE-
TABLES LOSE
THEIR COLOR WHEN
COOKED. THIS IS
DUE TO A SMALL AMOUNT OF
ACID. THIS IS TAKEN UP BY THE
STEAM BY LIFTING THE COVER
DURING THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES
AND ALLOWING IT TO ESCAPE,
THE VEGETABLES WILL STAY
GREEN.

THE FASTER MEAT IS FROZEN,
THE MORE TENDER IT IS. BEEF
-114 DEGREES F AND THEN
THAWED, IS ABOUT 20% MORE
TENDER THAN UNFROZEN BEEF.

THAWING FROZEN VEGETABLES
AT ROOM TEMPERATURE,
CAUSES A LOSS OF VITAMINS
AND MINERALS. THE FROST
AROUND THE VEGETABLES
PROVIDES ENOUGH MOISTURE
FOR THE COOKING IF PLACED
OVER A SLOW FLAME.

THE SIX OUTSIDE GREEN
LEAVES OF CABBAGE HAVE
THE GREATEST QUANTITY
OF VITAMINS A, B1, B2
AND C. THOSE FLARING
OUTSIDE LEAVES WHICH
ALMOST NEVER REACH
THE TABLE SHOULD BE
USED.

THE NATION CONSUMES NEARLY TWICE AS
MUCH CANNED FOOD NOW AS IT DID IN
1941. BEFORE THE WAR, 360,000,000
CASES AND IN 1946 OVER 500,000,000 CASES
OF FOOD AND VEGETABLES AND 175,000,000
CASES OF FISH, MEATS, POULTRY AND MILK WERE
CONSUMED.

Common Cold
(Con't. from page 1, col. 4)

We might start with the type-
writer; how about a typewriter
that omitted every other letter
in the alphabet? The advan-
tages are probably obvious.
Think of all the nonsencial
things that wouldn't be written.
Consider the eye strain we
could avoid.

Incidentally, girls, you might
start off by trying to invent a
kitchen that requires no sweep-
ing. Never dull your outlook.

An inland lake one hundred
miles long, and deep enough to
float ocean-going steamers, is
Lake Nicaragua, in the Middle
American Republic of Nicara-
gua. The lake empties directly
into the Atlantic Ocean on the
east, and is only fifteen miles
distant from the Pacific Ocean
on the west. A possible inter-
oceanic canal cold be cut
through this fifteen miles of
land, and would result in
greatly increased trade for the
area, according to the Middle
America Information Bureau.
