Lunch Box Tips

Vacation times are over! Invigorated by fresh air and tanned by the

sun, children, office workers and defense plant employees are returning to their various duties. It’s important that a healthful schedule be followed after returning to work

so that the benefits of vacations are not despoiled immediately. That means, for one thing, a sensible lunch to carry both children and adults energetically through the day. Lunches, whether they’re eaten in the quiet of home, at the school desk or in a plant cafeteria, should contain a third of the day’s food and nutritional requirements. Here’s the plan: 2 or more good sandwiches H to 1 pint of milk Salad or stuffed eggs, carrot strips or celery Dessert—pudding, cake or sweet Surprises—dates, nuts, candy, etc. Before we get into suggestions to amplify the plan, let’s first set up a list of equipment which is good to have on hand for the makings of lunch. When the lunch is an everyday matter, and there are more than one to make, perhaps, it’s a good idea to get a corner of the cupboard with equipment ready so as to save time in making. A bread board with a sharp knife for cutting bread, and another knife or spatula to make the spreading of butter and fillings easy is a must. Then you need waxed paper for wrapping, string or rubber bands for tying in some cases, paper napkins, paper cups or jelly glasses with tightly fitting covers for salads, puddings, etc., straws for drinking, forks and spoons, individual salt and pepper cellars to tuck in the lunch box itself. Now, we’re ready for the business of the lunch itself. Sandwiches are first on the list. Everyone knows how to make sandwiches, but are they the kind you like to eat? Use this score card for them: 1. Is the bread fresh and moist? 2. Is there a variety of bread from day to day? S. Is the filling palatable and moist, with peak flavor? 4. Is the filling spread out to the sides of the bread? 5. Is the sandwich well wrapped so that it is not messy and dried out by the time lunch time comes? 6. Is the filling varied from time to time? Partial Whole Wheat Yeast Bread. H cup molasses 3 cups lukewarm milk 1 cup lukewarm water 4 teaspoons salt 6 tablespoons shortening 1 teaspoon sugar About 6 cups all-purpose flour About 6 cups whole wheat flour 2 cakes quick-acting yeast Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water, add sugar. Let stand 10 min-

more liquid than others. Then add softened shortening, mix well and turn out onto a floured board. Knead dough until it is elastic and does not stick to the board. Place in a greased bowl and cover. Allow to

Tibetan Antelope Proves Unfailing Weather Prophet

A specimen of the massively built antelope, the Takin, an animal confined to the mountains of Tibet, achieved fame at the London zoo as a. weather prophet. When rain threatened, its dense coat emitted an oil secretion that was never known to fail as a precursor of “unsettled conditions.’* Wolves have likewise earned a reputation for being weather-wise. Their method of predicting a break in the weather takes the form of a prolonged chorus of discordant howls, repeated at short intervals for about 12 hours before the change in the weather takes place. Their predictions are almost invariably found to be correct.
