LET’S MAKE A DATE FOR LUNCH
(See Recipes Below)
FALL LUNCHEON
As the; leaves begin to crackle and
fall’s favorite flower, the chrysan-
themum, stirs in the sweet smelling
earth, and fruit hangs heavy and
ripe on the trees—-do your thoughts
turn to luncheons and bridge?
If they do, prepare to have one
now, using as your theme the leaves,
fruits or flowers
that fall has to of-
fer as a welcome
change from
summer lunch-
eons you may
have had. If you
are having a pre-
luncheon bridge,
try carrying out
the fall theme on the bridge tables
with small vases of fall flowers, in
candies, and decorations. Favors
can be had using the autumn theme
and prizes may be wrapped in the
burnished fall shades or tied with
ribbons of that color.
Whatever you do, have your tables
and especially the centerpiece stun
ning enough to stimulate interest
and conversation. It’ll make lunch-
eon and bridge afterwards a real
success, and star you as a smart
hostess.
Play up the oranges and yellow
in food for luncheon, picking it up
here and there in this dish and that
with a touch of green to heighten in-
terest. Do something unusual in the
main dish by having a frozen or
cooked fish fillet lightly creamed and
well garnished. Simple to fix, a
dream to behold, yet delicate to
taste, here’s your main dish:
♦Creamed Fillet of Flounder With
Mushrooms.
2 packages quick frozen fillet of
flounder, cooked
or
2% c. cooked fish
2% c. fish liquor or light cream
2Vz cups sliced mushrooms
6 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
Salt and pepper
Watercress
If using frozen flounder, cook in
a saucepan, adding 1 cup boiling wa-
ter and % teaspoon salt, and cook
until tender. If using cooked fish,
be sure it is well drained. Flake
fish. Cook mushrooms in butter, un-
til well browned, add flour. Add
fish Liquor and cream, gradually
stirring constantly and cook until
thick. Add fish and seasoning. Serve
on hot buttered toast or in patty
shells. Sprinkle with paprika. Gar-
nish with watercress.
When serving the vegetables, pret-
ty the platter by serving both the
green beans, cut in long, lengthwise
strips, and the carrots cut length-
wise, side by side. Or have a mound
of carrots or beans in the center,
. and then have alternating mounds
of green bean and carrot strips com-
ing out toward the rim of the plate.
If you were to take a poll among
your luncheon guests, you would
probably be surprised how many

LYNN SAYS:
, Sit up and take notice of fall’s
possibilities for table decoration
Cornucopias and centerpieces of
fruits and vegetables interlaced
with burnished leaves and bright-
ly colored flowers certainly have
a way with them and will do
very nicely for your luncheon ta-
ble.
Take a tip from the outdoors
and make the most of the hum-
ble squash, apple, pear, or a
spray of bittersweet. Let your
fruit glisten and shine by rubbing
with oil and then polishing to a
high luster. For more permanent
effects, have the fruit laquered.
Arrange pears, apples and grapes
on doilies of autumn leaves and
set on a mirror for the center-
piece, or have the fruit arranged
from the opening of a squash.
Dusky red or bright chrysanthe-
mums look effective if arranged
in a small squash. Any of these
will give your table a smart note
and also a piece of grand con-
versation for luncheon guests.
Speaking of nice touches, put
a leaf of deep rich red, brown, or
yellow, or a bit of bittersweet to
the side of a placecard. This
will be just fine to carry out the
autumn theme of the centerpiece.
women confess to an extraordinary
interest in rolls, bread and muffins.
Herd’s a bread which highlights a
luncheon perfectly and whose or-
ange flavor gives just the right touch
of piquancy to the meal:
♦Orange Honey Bread.
(Makes 1 loaf)
3 tablespoons shortening
1 cup honey
1 egg, well beaten
IV2 tablespoons grated orange
rind
2% cups flour
2V2 teaspoons baking powder
% teaspoon soda
V4, cup orange juice
% cup chopped walnuts
A
Cream the shortening until light,
then add honey gradually, and con.
tinue beating un-
til well blended.
Stir in the egg
and the grated
orange rind. Sift
the dry ingredi-
ents together sev- £
eral times, then '
add them alter-
nately with the
orange juice. Stir
in the walnuts.
Pour the batter
into a well-greased loaf pan and
let stand 29 minutes before putting
into oven. Bake in a slow (325-de-
gree) oven for 1 hour or until well
done when a toothpick comes out
clean. If desired, % cup 0f candied
orange peel may be added to the
batter to give additional flavor, or
may be substituted for the nuts.
I shall pass lightly over the sub-
ject of salads. Ours today follow
nearly the same pattern as recipes
printed in old cookbooks. But I
would like to give you a recipe for
a dressing. Used on a salad of
hard-cooked eggs, lettuce, chopped
onions and sliced radishes it’s tops.
Rub the yolks of two hard-cooked
eggs together with 1 tablespoon of
cold water until smooth. To this
add 2 tablespoons of salad oil and 1
teaspoon each of salt, powdered sug-
ar and prepared mustard, and blend
well. Finally, add 2 tablespoons
each of plain and tarragon vinegar.
And last, but not least, here’s a
recipe for ice cream. Serve this with
sliced fresh peaches topped with
whipped cream.
Uncooked Custard Ice Cream.
. % cup sugar
2 eggs
1% cups top milk
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch of salt
V2 pint whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dissolve the % cup of sugar and
the salt in the cold milk. Beat the
/ egg white until
Billion More of Lend-Lease
For Agricultural Products
But It's Some Job to Decide What Should
Be Ordered Curtailed and What
Expanded on Farms.
i
By BAUKHAGE
National Farm and Home Hour Commentator.
WNU Service, 1343 H Street, N-W,
Washington, D. C.
By the time this is in print an-
other billion dollars will probably
be allocated from the Lend-lease fund
to buy farm products.
When word of this was impending
the well-prepared legions of the de-
partment of agriculture pushed the
button and started one of the biggest
campaigns in the history of farm-
dom to turn the product of field and
pasture, sty and coop and creamery
toward their most effective goals.
These goals are the expansion of
production of those products which
are needed for shipment to England,
for commercial export and for home
use. And it takes a nice eye and a
sharp pencil to figure out in advance
just what production to expand,
what products to curtail so the farm-
er will come out right with enough to
sell and yet without a glut on his
hands.
Of course, milk and poultry prod
ucts are high on the list of British
needs. There are pork products,
too. And all edible fats. And meat.
We have to have enough meat for
home consumption, of course, and
that has to be figured in, and when it
comes to fats we face a possible
shortage at home because imports
are cut off. Take coconut oil. Nor-
mally, we use tons of that and we are
not getting it now.
A series of meetings of members
of the department of agriculture and
other employees of state agriculture
organizations and others started
with the September 1 gathering in
Salt Lake City. Then they moved
eastward—September 18 in Chicago,
on the twenty-second in New York
and one in Memphis on the twenty-
eighth.
These meetings are designed to
instruct those who will go out and
contact the farmers with regard to
the need for expansion of production
in certain lines, and the curtail-
ment in certain others. It has taken
a long time to find out just what
Great Britain needs from us. But
Undersecretary of Agriculture Paul
Appleby and Triple A Administra-
tor R. M. Evans have been in Eng-
land for some time and they have
managed to get together with the
British food ministry and iron things
out. Meanwhile, the experts here
have been figuring out just what we
need for ourselves and for commer-
cial export and as well as the farm
capacity to fill the need.
24 hours before one of those red
dates on the calendar come along,
the boss’ secretary puts a notice on
the board. It reads:
“Monday, September 1 (or Thurs-
day, December 25, or whatever the
red-letter day is) will be a holiday.
Broadcasting will continue as
usual.”
The last sentence is a reminder to
announcers, entertainers, commen-
tators and engineers that while the
rest of the world will be fishing or
loafing or motoring, “the show must
go on.”
The news tickers will keep up
their monotonous chatter, the end-
less lengths of yellow paper with
their multifold chronicle of the hu-
man comedy—and tragedy—will un-
roll jerkily from the tireless ma-
chines, for those who care to listen
the story will go out over the air.
Shortly after the last time one of
those “broadcasting as usual” mes-
sages was put on the bulletin board
a message came over the news tick-
ers. It read:
UPR
Washington—Representative Cart-
wright, of Oklahoma, Says 12 Con-
gressmen Died During the Last Six
Months From Worry and Overwork.
Therefore, Reasons Cartwright, Con-
gress Needs a Rest . . .
The day before I had received a
letter from one of my listeners com-
plaining about the President going
off fishing and spending so many
week-ends in Hyde Park. Well, Mr.
Cartwright may be wrong when he
says that all those congressmen died
of overwork. Some of them, I hap-
pen to know, did wear themselves
out at their jobs. And for more
than one government official, re-
gardless of holidays, government
goes on as usual.
As for the President, his job goes
on at Hyde Park with very little
interlude. For instance: It is Fri-
day in Washington, about 4:45 in the
afternoon. The White House news
conference is over and 200 reporters
are slowly filing out of the oval of-
fice which their combined bodily
heat has warmed beyond the best ef-
forts of the cooling system to com-
bat.
A Quick Glimpse
At New Super-Board
Who are the seven super-men who
make up the new super-board in
charge of the defense program?
Their composite name is SPAB,
which stands, as you probably know
by this time, for supply, priorities
and allocation board.
Henry Wallace, chairman: Intelli-
gent, unpopular with extreme New
Dealers and conservatives, there-
fore presumably middle-of-the-road-
er. A man who can listen to two
sides of a question and who has
made the Triple A (whether you like
it or not) work.
Donald Nelson, executive director:
Successful business man, believer in
defense, can get on with New Deal-
stiff, add 2 table-
spoons sugar and
then beat in the
egg yolks, one at
a time. Combine
with the milk
and fold in the
whipped cream
___ and vanilla. Pour
into freezing trays and stir every 15
or 20 minutes until firm. This may
also be made in a crank freezer,
but the amount should be doubled
for the ordinary size of freezer.
If you desire to vary this recipe,
here are suggestions:
Maple Ice Cream—Add maple fla-
voring to taste in place of the va-
nilla; about 6 drops will be needed.
Butterscotch — Substitute brown
sugar for the % cup of white sugar.
Chocolate—Melt two squares cake
chocolate and add to custard mix-
ture. Four additional tablespoons
sugar must be added as well.
Peppermint — Peppermint flavor-
ing, oil of peppermint and enough
pink coloring to give the desired col-
or are added.

Members: William Knudsen, suc-
cessful, efficient master automobile
producer. Not so good at plan-
ning but he won’t have to.
Sidney Hillman, successful labor
leader, shorn of many of his powers
but free to do the administrative
work he is capable of doing.
The secretaries of war and navy
(Stimson and Knox) both Republi-
cans, both with competent, co-opera-
tive staff men under them.
Harry Hopkins, close friend of the
President, hampered by ill health,
able to say “no” to the President.
Leon Henderson: Here is probably
the most controversial subject on
the board. However, I have heard
many who disagreed with him thor-
oughly speak of his abilities with
respect. He is a forceful figure.
Eight men with the greatest task
of production ever put on any group
of men in America. Upon their suc-
cess or failure may depend the

The Business of Government
Never Ceases
In the news room of the National
Broadcasting company in Washing-
ton there is a bulletin board. About
A Few on Platform.
Long before it is time for the spe-
cial train to pull out of Union sta-
tion a few favored citizens are on
the platform. The secret service has
been busy. A special police detail
is waving cars away from the south
entrance to the waiting room re-
served for special parties. A whole
crew of railroad men, detectives and
others whose functions are mysteri-
ous to the layman are hurrying
about.
The newsmen who are to accom-
pany the President on the trip ar-
rive and take their places in the din-
ing car. This car is the busiest on
the train. The genial Clarence
Queen, dusky chef, has a well-
stocked larder.
The President won’t use the diner
tonight. It is nearly 11 and a secret
service man comes up and whis-
pers in the ear of William Hassett,
the secretary who usually accompa-
nies the President to Hyde Park
while Secretary Early holds the fort
in Washington.
Hassett hurries off. In a few mo-
ments a limousine drives right up
to the private car. It stops opposite
the ramp which has been set up
from the floor to the platform of the
car. The President, without cere-
mony of any kind, makes his way up
the ramp alone. There will be a
last word with Hassett, perhaps a
lemonade, and the presidential val-
et will be called to the compart-
ment. The secret service men will
take up their vigil. The train pulls
out.
Business Goes On.
The lights in the diner and in the
club car will burn long. There are
some early morning stories to be
written by the reporters. But in the
President’s car where the secreta-
ries and other staff workers have
their compartments, there will be
silence.
Next morning the President will
breakfast at his home in Hyde Park
and out will come the brief case
again. There will be trips around
the estate, perhaps a picnic in which
the newsmen and the neighborhood
joins as they always do on Labor
day. But between times there will
be phone calls to Washington and
frequently official visitors.
Government goes on.

Utmost Isoiation
Half way between Cape Horn
and New Zealand a ship will find
itself 1,200 miles from the near-
est land and in the center of the
greatest space of open water on
the face of our planet. Another
almost equally great space of open
sea is to be found in the North
Pacific between the Aleutian is-
lands and the Sandwich islands.
This is even more open than
the first named, for in it there is
not even an islet. The most re-
mote island is Kerguelen in the
southern Indian ocean. It is rough-
ly 3,000 miles from the Cape of
Good Hope and nearly the same
from Cape Leeuwin in Australia.
St. Paul’s island, 600 miles north
of Kerguelen, is almost equally
isolated.
