A Goneery for Dinner’ Ts Possible In Spite of Rationing Problems

WIL A COUPON COMPLEX cross out company for dinner? Does Fationing mean that guests are out for the duration? The answer is “No!” Points won't. stretch as pennies do, but hos5 pitality, more than ever, is here to stay. It's just different!

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 19.—For an outstanding example of. what one couple can do to cope with the food situation when they set their minds and energies to it, take Chattanooga’s Mr. and Mrs. Charles Chaniott. Recently they had 12 friends

home for dinner. The menu in- -

cluded fruit cocktail and crackers, stuffed celery, fried chicken, sliced tomato salad, creamed potatoes, green peas and carrots, baked biscuifs, pumpkin pie and coffee. Fourteen dinners like that must represent quite an outlay, you think, and deduce thate the Chaniotts are in the chips. Not a bit of it. Mr. and Mrs. Chaniott are just ordinary fulltime toilers in the vineyard of commerce-—he’s a guard receptionist in the TVA power building here and she works in a local department store until 6 every eve-~ ning. How about that big dinner? Well, everything for it came right off their pantry shelves except the crackers, butter and coffee. The Chaniotts’ secret is that they go all-out for home canning. In case you're looking dolefully. from your new ration book 2 to your Mother Hubbard-bare kitchen shelves, it might inspire you to learn that the Chaniotts never start the winter with less than 500 jars of home preserved meat,

vegetables, fruits, Jellies and juices -

on hand. 5 # » : NOT BAD FOR city folks, living so close to the center of town that they walk to work. And, if you still have any lurking suspicion that they have much leisure, dismiss it when you learn that in addition to his 8 a. m.4:45 p. m. job, Mr. Chaniott drills two hours a week with the Tennessee home guard and his wife teaches Sunday school and goes to training union every Sunday evening. Here’s how they go about piling up the goodies on the pantry shelves. They have a garden where’ they raise all their vegetables, and, in the basement, a

No Rationing of Ideas POOR MAN'S patty shells are easy with unsliced bread. Cut bread slices 2 inches thick; hollow out center, brush with melted ‘mar-~ garine; toast, use for creamed mixtures. Be sure to use whole wheat or enriched bread, vitaminized margarine which contains 9000 U. 8. P. units of vitamin A added to every pound, equal to the sverage of butter.

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a boy nearly 17 years old. I am not really old enough to be in love, but I am. The girl is very, very goodlooking and is really swell to me. She is just my age and very popular. The trouble. is that I live in town and she lives out, and I haven’t any car. Of course there are busses, but I am afraid I can’t take her enough plages now except on weekends. My father said that if she would come in on the bus he would see that she got home. My parents like her, too, you see.

I refuse other dates because I

don’t like to run around with a lot of girls. I don’t want to keep her from having a good time; so pléase advise me what to do. THANK YOU.

Answer—The transportation situation has brought many changes to all girls. Under the circumstances I°do not think the girl would object to coming in on the bus to meet you, and her parents would be satisfied with your father’s offer to see that she got home. How lucky you are to have a co-operative father! . To be sure you can’t see her often nor give her a whirl, but you must remember that other young people are in the same boat. Girls can't and don’t expect the same attention during wartime that they get when things are normal. No other boy of her acquaintance can do much more than you can. Even if he has a car, gasoline rationing prevents his using it very often. If she has other dates, don’t let it worry you. A girl of 16 should have other dates. How can she tell

‘whether she likes you better than

other boys if she* never sees any other boys? You must have enough confidence in yourself to stand the competition. A worth while girl falls in love with a boy for himself, for something in his personality, not for a car or because he is in a position

DEAR JANE JORDAN—The fellows I know all have girl friends. When I try to get a girl for myself the girls just don’t want to make friends. I think maybe all girls want a fellow in' uniform. I don’t see why I can’t get a girl. I think maybe it is because I am quiet and don’t have much to say. I dress well and have a good job. If you can tell me why I can’t get a girl friend I will be glad. \ ; LONESOME.

Answer Beitinpe you've analyzed the situation yourself when you say you are quiet and don’t have much to say. “The girls may feel that it indicates a lack of interest in themselves. Why are you so quiet? Is it because you are lacking in selfconfidence? I. imagine you put too low an estimate on yourself and fear that you aren’t attractive to girls. You need ‘more self-assurance, more aggression. Without it you escape

YOUR 30TH birthday is the | proper time to start a conscientious effort to walk lightly through the middle years:of life, if you haven’t already developed your anti-aging routine. Begin * now to do limbering, stretching, posture, walking exercises; . A protruding stomach, a thick diaphragm and a sunken chest will make any woman seem years older than she is. So by all means learn now to stand with stomach pulled in, chest high, shoulders square but not stiff, and backbone as straight as possible. Experts declare that the most prevalent cause of bad posture is standing with an exaggerated .hollow in the center ot the spinal column. - ” » ” THERE'S ONE simple postureimproving exercise which you can do in an elevator, a telephone booth or any time you happen to stand near a flat, bare wall.
