“WINNIE” IS A first cousin of the film industry’s “Oscar.” Like the statuette Oscar, she is a sym-
bol of success to the individual who. wins her—and the person who won Winnie this year is HooJoe Norman Norell who was born in Noblesville, April 20, 1900. Along with Winnie, Mr. Norell recently received ;the American Fashion Critics’ first place award of $1000 in war bonds for his “outstanding contribution to fashion within wartime restrictions” during 1942. Mme. Lilly Dache and JohnFrederics tied for second place and received $500 each in war bonds. Mr: Norell is a member of the New York firm of Traina-Norell.

Homemaking—
How to Get Better Service and * Longer Use from Kitchen Range
DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I have a problem on my mind or is it my imagination? I am a country housewife and it has been rumored around our little town that there are four or five boys in the twenties who should be in the army and are getting out for some reason. They claim to be farmers but don’t do as much as an 8-year-old boy. All they do is stay on the road using gasoline. They have an A and a B ration book. They come to the little town and brag that they don’t care how many boys go along with them as they éan.get the gas to have a good time. One registered in Indianapolis and came home for a while, then went to Seymour and came back and now says he is a farmer but I can prove that he isn’t one. I feel that a mother just can’t be proud of a boy who is yellow enough to get out of the army, but I also am anxious to know 'why some can get out so easily. Please-ad-vise me who to get in touch with to find out more as I am in earnest. " WAR MOTHER.
- Answer—Your local draft board can tell you the facts. Somehow I doubt if these*boys have put anything over on any draft board. The chances are that their cases have been pretty thoroughly investigated and there may be circumstances about which you know nothing. If the boys have misrepresented the facts the draft board Will catch up with them sooner or later. Since you are ‘Satisfied with your own boy’s behavior, why worry about others? I do not believe that any eble bodied man can escape his duty for long by pretending to be something which he
is not. JANE JORDAN.
BECAUSE THE NECESSARY metals must be used for war weapons instead of for producing new ranges, and because fuel and power are needed for victory as well as for cooking .victuals, the OPA and the agriculture department’s home economics bureau recently issued a booklet on the proper care and use of the kitchen stove. Also included in the booklet are 11 tips on economic and efficient
cooking. Five rules given for bet-{ ter service and longer use from gas or electric ranges start off with the admonition to see that gas pressure is properly adjusted or electric voltage right—not too high or too low for the stove—and that range burner grates or units are level. Rule two advises adjustment of air and gas mixture in the gas burners to give a clear flame, and Keeping burners and pilots clean and flame openings unclogged. The other rules are (3) protecting the enamel surface from sudden changes in temperature, scratches, blows, spills and acids; (4) a warning ggainst overheating coils of electric units, keeping salt, soda, sugar or soap from open units and never touching open wire coils with anything metal, and (5) keeping all parts of the range clean to help preserve, save fuel and time.
Economical Use—
THE 11 SUGGESTIONS for economical use of food, gas and electricity are: 1. Use of small-size burners or units whenever you can. 2. Bring foods quickly to boil; reduce heat when boiling begins. 3. Light gas burner or turn on electric unit when you are ready for it, not before; have pan in place; be sure youve turned the right knob or switch. 4. Lift the lid only when ™ need to. 5. When cooking most vegetables
{and other foods, use only enough
water to prevent burning; a quarter of an inch will usually do. 6. Use low heat whenever pos-
‘I sible. Use direct heat instead of
double boiler where practical. .
