Current Corn Meal Cookery

Corn meal is a wartime heroine. Plentiful, unrationed, inexpensive, always good, corn meal will see you staunchly through kitchen crises in the months to come. Have corn meal mush, fried golden brown, for breakfast. Make scrapple from meat trimmings and corn meal. Roll fish in corn meal before cooking. Bake Indian Pudding of milk, molasses, and corn meal. As a filler-ppper and a stretcher corn meal can’t be beat. It has a robust, rugged flavor. It has a stick-to-the-ribs quality essential to a satisfactory substitute for meat. Next time you need a main-course dish that will be flavorful and filling, minus meat, try corn cubes in tomato sauce. Make a batch of corn meal mush. Chill and cut in cubes. Then simmer these golden nuggets In a quick-to-fix tomato rarebit *auce. Try Indian Pudding when you want a dessert tailor-made to suit your wartime needs. This is a sort of mealy custard — faintly smoky flavored from the roasted, toasted corn . . . sweet with that pungent, concentrated sweetness nothing but molasses can impart. You can dress up this dish or tone It down. Serve it Indian fashion, unadorned. Or add an egg, if you can spare one. Bits of leftover fruits may be tossed in for chew

and flavor. Raisins, apricots, apples, pe^rs, or prunes are pleasing. Serve hot or cold with whole milk, lemon sauce, apple sauce, hard sauce, oi frozen custard. Try both these dishes so: Rich Indian Pudding Over— Vz cup yellow corn meal pour— IVz cups milk, scalded.

Farmers Who Sell Corn Get Guarantee Washington, July 9. — Farmers who sell their corn now are guaranteed any price-rise which comes before the first of November. The War Food Administration says the present' ceiling price will be paid by any country elevator acting as agent for the commodity credit corporation and any later raise will be paid the farmer by the gov-

ernment.

“The new offer,” says the WFA, “does not imply any impendiing change in corn price ceilings. It is made solely to offset the widespread rumors that they will be raised.” The food office explains that these rumors have contrib-

JUST LIKE HOUSEKEEPING. Berkeley, Cal. — “Warehousing and inventory control is just like housekeeping on a huge scale,” according to Mrs. R. Z. Jenkins, who was so fearful about giving up housekeeping for something new that she took a University Training course in one of nine centers where 75 women are being trained for those wartime jobs. She was the first one to get such a job and now she likes it better than house-

keeping.

Federal Convicts Face New Charges Indianapolis, July 9—Two federal convicts face heavier sentences or new indictments for their temporary fling at freedom yesterday. The men broke away from a depu-. ty federal marshal while on then way to prison, but were recaptur-

ed two hours later.

The convicts are Harvey Walker of Fort Payne, Alabama, and Malcolm Chrisley of Norfolk, Virginia, who were sentenced in federal court yesterday for army desertion and automobile theft. Enroute to

prison at Chillicothe, Ohio, the pair slugged Deputy Marshal James Campbell and fled in his car. Campbell had been run over by the car but was not seriously injured and had managed to retain custody of a third prisoner. The marshal hailed a passing car and a description of the men soon was broadcast to state police. The fleeing prisoners were captured by Wayne County Sheriff Ora Wilson near Boston, Indiana. * o —— Argentina Plans u.Ul)0.000 eggs this year for shipment overseas.

National Death Toll is Greatly Reduced Washington, July 9.—The safest July 4th holiday weekend in two decades was recorded Tuesday as the nation’s celebrants, subdued by a scarcity of gasoline and fireworks, counted but 148 fatalities. The toll was meager compared with the record figure of 500 deaths recorded in 1941). Gas rationing and low speed limits reduced traffic fatalities from 300 to 65. Curtailment of highway traffic drove travel-minded Americans to the railroads and bus lines. Transcontinental lines reported that traffic was up almost 100 per cent in the greatest mass exodus since the start of the war. Thousands of sunburned vacationist poured into swarriling terminals late ^Monday clamoring for standing room on buses and trains. A state-hy-state survey showed that 52 drownings rivaled traffic accidents as a cause of death during the three-day period. The remaining 33 fatalities resulted from home accidents, shootings and suicides. Indiana with 18 deaths, and Pennsylvania with 14, supplanted California as the scenes of the most holiday fatalities. Indiana reportedvsix drownings, six highway deaths and the remainder from miscellaneous causes. In Pennsylvania, 10 traffic deaths, eight caused by one accident, one drowning and three miscellaneous deaths were recorded. California reported only eight deaths, seven on highways and one from drowning. o London—Roadside billboards in England are being abolished.

First Wheat Crop Is Reported Good Washington, July 9.—The wheat harvest is marching northward out of Texas. Partial and unofficial reports on yields are in and they are surprisingly good. It appears that the region of Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and the southern half of Kansas will produce a little more than its ten-year average. But the total yields will be quite a bit under the returns of last year. A recordbreaking crop year in all sections The fact that unofficial estimates place the southwestern crop at above average is a big and welcome surprise to a nation that needs all the wheat it can lay hands on. A months ago prospects were so bad that many folks were ready to resign themselves to the idea of a failure of the wheat crop. Then Mother Nature stepped in to change the picture very much for the better except for dry spots in western Texas and New Mexico. Just about as encouraging to everybody concerned as the size of the yields is the splendid performance of the harvesters. Very little transient labor is on hand and there is a sfiortage of trucks, which formerly moved into the harvests along with the transients. But the labor shortage is being licked by all-out mobilization of local help. When farm communities need help, townsmen close shop, and storekeepers, bakers, clerks and the rest hike to the wheat fields. Reports indicate that mighty fine results are being obtained from community use of combines and other equipment. So far the weather has been just right for this practice. Storage for wheat is just about as big a local problem as it was last year. This is complicated by the shortage of trucks and of railway cars. Local elevators and farm bins in many cases are still bulging with last year’s wheat. Terminal elevators reportedly have adequate space tor new crop grain if ways can be found to transport it from the fields. The Commodity Credit Corporation has moved to help solve the problem. It will buy wheat at the 1943 loan rate from farmers who can’t ship to their normal markets

Motorists Are To Give Travel Reason Chicago July 9. — Midwestern motorists who violated gasoline rationing regulations on holiday trips will be asked to explain their actions to their local ration boards. Regional Price Administrator Raymond S. McKeough said, tocfey. McKeough said OPA enforcement officers throughout the sev-en-state area under the jurisdiction of the Chicago office questioned motorists yesterday and checked out-of-stale license plates. The OPA avoided a controversy which, arose in Wisconsin recently over the halting of motorists. Instead, McKeough said, OPA agents stationed at parks, beaches, race tracks, amusement centers and other spots where motorists were likely to stop, questioned drivers as they parked their cars. The agents will send the information obtained to the local ration boards of the drivers questioned. The ration boards, McKeough said, will compare the data with the motorists’ mileage application and other records to determine whether violations were committed. McKeough said it was impossible to estimate the number of out-state licenses reported in the area, or the number of violators, but he believed the public’s response to the pleasure driving ban during the Independence Day holiday was “on the whole patriotic.” o CAN TRANSFER PROPERTY

Los Angeles, Cal. — California cities and communities are almost unanimously demanding that the Japanese who are now in re-loca-tion centers never be allowed to return to California. California officials are also taking steps to facilitate their staying away. Attorney General Robert W. Kenny has just ruled that the Japanese may legally transfer all of their property out of the state.

and in areas where local storage is not available. In many areas the corporation owns bins in which to store wheat. The loan rate, incidentlly, has been increased a cent a bushel.
