Alexander reported having fresh green beans, watermelon and corn on the cob right out of the garden while visiting relatives in southern Indiana These fresl vegetables were the result of a second planting. ... In the picture “Double Indemnity,” policemen were signed to guard $20,000 worth of canned and packaged goods, representing about a million ration points. This was used in a market scene and if a single can or package was missing after the shooting of the scene, the studio would have had to make up the difference. . . .

This week we have a surprise recipe for you It was sent by a man, a reader of my poor attempts. And it is for Southern Indiana Corn Bread. He made some last Tuesday evening for dinner for his family, and like the old saying, “they licked the platter clean.” I know you are consumed with curiosity as to the sender of the recipe, so I’ll not keep you in suspense any longer. The very nice gentleman is none other than our good Rev. Flanigan, pastor of the Brightwood Methodist Church. Now wasn’t it nice of him to send us his recipe and also nice of him to show x such interest. Maybe he has started something. It might be that another man or two among you will do likewise. And now here’s the recipe. . . .

SOUTHERN INDIANA CORN BREAD 1 cup corn meal 1 cup pastry flour (sifted before measuring) % cup of sugar 4 teaspoons baking powder % teaspoon salt 1 cup of milk 1 egg, beaten 2 tablespoons melted shortening Shift together dry ingredients, add gradually the milk, beaten egg, and shortening. Pour into a hot greased pan. Temperature 425 degrees; baking time 25 to 35 minutes. z x. In closing: someone once said . . . “There’s no such thing as idle gossip. Gossip is always most industrious.”
