"Call Them Pies or Pyes

Her hobby is collecting recipes for pies, or “pyes” as she prefers to call them, adopting the speiling of their early history. She's been saving recipes practically since she first learned to read. It. was about six years ago, though, that she began collecting in earnest, with a view to compiling a file or book. From newspapers, magazines, libraries, friends and acquaintances, she gathered her material. Some of it she found in dusty and yellowed books stored in old attics—recipes carefully ‘written out in longhand many years ago. In libraries she has found not only the recipes but the histories of many of her pies.

A Message from

President Truman

It is of the utmost importance that the American people understand thee status and significance of our new Regular Army. It will be the - duty of this volunteer Army to help protect the freedoms and maintain the peace we have won at so great a cost,

Atomic power has increased rather than decreased the necessity

for our preparation, both in manpower and material. In the coming atomic age, the United States must maintain its military strength ~ to insure our national security and to promote world order.

Such grave responsibilities obviously cannot be met by anything

less than the highest caliber of men. For this reason, I asked Congress for legislation to increase the opportunities of the soldier in the Regular Army. This legislation has been passed and signed by me, and is now in effect.

In serving his country, a man can now get good pay, education,

travel and security — with family allowances for his dependents and a new 20-year retirement plan that compares with or excels anything in American industry. These, and the many other advantages of the new Regular Army, should be made known to all our service men

and their families.

The Army has embarked upon a world-wide campaign to enlist

enough men so that, in demobilizing, we shall not strip our services below the peacetime need. It is imperative that public support be given to this program. We must replace as soon as possible men who have served long and arduously, and who wish to return to civil life. We must also build an Army of volunteers adequate to all our requirements — at home and abroad — until the long-range peace terms and military policies are worked out.

I hope that every individual and group will give earnest and

enthusiastic co-operation to this great effort to rebuild our Regular Army. The success of this campaign is vital to the performance of

our tremendous task of securing the peace,

an amateur could have success with them. ; The simplest recipe in the lot is for what Mrs. Fruits calls “Lazy Man's Pie." Here it is: Haye pie delivered to your door; cut it into wedge-shaped pieces, and serve,
