This is an American Army artillery park in England. Those grim, shrouded instruments of death will
be manned by our boys when the big day comes. Your War ponds bought them and paid for their trans-

Two more top-flight shows from
the Columbia Broadcasting System
have added to Radio Station KTBC’s
broadcast schedule, “Vox Pop” and
“Here’s To Romance.”
“Vox Pop,” a long-time CBS show,

(San Marcos), and Warren Hull as
interviewers of people, “everywhere.”
Recently “Vox Pop” was broadcast
from the University of Texas cam-
pus and KTBC carried the show at
that time. On Monday, May 22, 7:00
to 7:30 p. m., “Vox Pop” begins its
first regular “run” on KTBC.
A warm sparkling musical salute
to romance, starring Jim Ameche,
guest vocalists, and Ray Block’s or-
chestra . . . that’s “Here’s to Rom-
ance,” heard now each Thursday,
9:30 to 10:00 p. m., 590 on your
radio dial.
The blithe spirit of the real Colonel
Stoopnagle is free again! No more,
dog-walking agency, no more diffi-
culties, romantic or otherwise, with
frowning mothers-in-law! “The Col-

with Elaine Howard singing ballads,
the Four Clubmen adding their voc-
als, and Archie Blyer and his orches-

The reasons for the present temp-
orary surplus of eggs are simple and
easy to understand. We have a re-
cord number of layers on farms of
the nation . . . over 500 million of
them. They got off to an earlier
start than usual this spring. And
they’re laying a record number of
eggs . . . around 200 million a day.
Add to this high production a
shortage of cold storage space—the
strain of transportation—the laqk of
enough egg containers ... It all adds
up to the fact that egg prices are at
a low level just now, and large quan-
tities of eggs must be consumed by
the public at once. Otherwise farm-
ers will not be able to continue to
produce them economically.
In any roll call of food value, eggs
answer present to proteins of excel-
lent quality. They contain import-
ant minerals . . . Not to mention at
least five vitamins in varying a-
mounts. Miss Lena 'Sturges, County
Home Demonstration Agent, of the
Texas A. & M. Extension Service,
points out that especially the yolks
of eggs are an outstanding source of
iron. That is a mineral in which
many diets are low. Eggs are also
rich in calcium and phosphorus.
Now that eggs are cheap and
plentiful, one or more a day may be
used to advantage by every member
of the family, Miss Sturges suggests.
Eat eggs. They’re protective food.
They’re good at any meal. Try this

A curious fact about wedding music
was revealed on a recent broadcast
by CBS singer Eileen Farrell (KTBC
Sundays, 10:15 p. m.) The two most
popular selections—the Bridal Chorus
from Wagner’s Lohengrin and the
Wedding March from Mendelssohn’s
incidental music to Shakespeare’s
Midsummer Night’s Dream, were bor-
rowed from the theatre. It was in
the middle nineteenth century that
music became a part of the wedding
ceremony—announcing the arrival of
the bridal procession and again after
the ceremony.
By the way, where and when did
the custom of cutting a wedding cake
with an officer’s sword originate?
We will appreciate hearing from you
about this!

CLEO NELL WESSON BRIDE
IN CHURCH RITES MAY 7
Sunday evening, May 7th, 1944,
at 6:00 o’clock, Cleo Nell Wesson,
attractive young daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. William Wesson of Austin, be-
came the bride of Staff Sgt. Robert
E. Shafer of West Alexandria, Ohio,
in a beautiful and impressive cere-
mony solemnized in Ward Memorial
Methodist Church, Austin, with the
Rev. W. S. Highsmith receiving the
vows.
The bride wore a blue suit with
recipe for baked custard:
4 to 6 eggs
1 qt. milk
6 to 8 T. sugar
% tsp, salt
% tsp. vanilla
Butter
Nutmeg.
Heat the milk, sugar and salt.
Stir the hot milk slowly into the
lightly beaten eggs. Add the vanilla. 1
Pour the mixture into custard cups,
add a bit of butter to each, and
sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. Bake
in a moderate oven (350*) F. on a
rack in a pan of H20 until the cus- i
tards are set. When the point of a
thin knife comes out clean, the cus-
tard is done and should be removed at
once from the hot H2O to keep it
from cooking too much. Serve either
hot or cold in the custard cups.
