Serve Fish for Meal Variety
(See recipes below)
Lenten Specials
LYNN CHAMBERS’ MENU
Many of us never investigate the
possibilities of delectable fish din-
ners until the
Lenten season. I
can’t help think-
ing this is a pity
because fish is a
source of such
easily digested proteins and is espe-
cially rich in vitamins and minerals.
Fish is tender and requires little
cooking. It can be prepared easily
even by the amateur cook if she
just follows some simple directions.
For the more experienced cook,
there is a wealth of fish dishes,
many of them combining two types
of fish for extra deliciousness. She
can get an amazing variety into the
diet simply by experimenting with
the delightful variety in fish cookery.

from bones into large pieces. Place
one half of fish in buttered or oiled
casserole, cover with one-half the
eggs, cheese, shrimp, mushrooms

a moderate (350-degree) oven. Any
boiled or leftover fish may be used

, Arabia Comes to the Point
Amir Saud, crown prince of Saudi
Arabia, presented Harry Truman
with a bejeweled sword and dagger
gifts from his father the other
day. This puzzles us. We had heard
tumors about the quality of those
ground turkeys which the White
House has received, but we never
knew anybody suspected they were
that tough.
The President gets a lot of curi-
• presents, but this sword and
dagger one gives us pause. If we
ware a Republican congressman we
would feel uneasy. If we were Mrs.
Truman we would feel fidgety, too.
Un fact even if we were Harry we
wouldn’t like it.)
This country has had Presidents
with whose personalities a sword
and dagger might not clash. But
Harry is not the type. Even a cloak,
sheet or turban wouldn’t help mat-
tars.
It would be a step from all that
loan Arabian horse. After that a
President does not belong to the
American people. He belongs to the
films.
He even lays himself open to be-
coming a double feature.
Prince Saud in presenting the gifts
also handed Harry a letter from his
aid man, the Imperial Poobah of
Saudi Arabia, where the oil comes
from. What did the letter say?
That’s important. Did it contain a
set of directions for sword and dag-
ger usage?
| Did it open up "Dear Harry: The
I next paragraph will show you how
to attach these implements to Sena-
tor Taft’s chair”? Was there a post-
script "Also mighty handy for use
if you travel at all by motor bus or
subway"?
Anywhere in the letter were there
the words, "Look sharp, act sharp,
be sharp!”?
| In return Prince Saud got an auto-
graphed photo of Mr. Truman. It
does not seem to us that an auto-
graphed photo of the President is
quite in the mood in such an ex-
change. If we were the President's
secretary we would throw in a lari-
at and a branding iron, or some-
I On the level, Harry, whatcher gon-
ma do with the sword and dagger
anyhow?
You can’t slash a man’s tax with
either. Joe Martin is wearing a suit
of armor these days.
And before you can get into Hen
Wallace’s office in the New Republic
today they search you.
Back Home Stuff
Tom Edison’s anniversary stirred
up a boyhood memory of the kero-
sene lamp. Our boyhood home had
gas (the quarter meter), but Grand-
mother Johnson's house at 84 Sylvan
avenue back home had no such lux-
ury. She used kerosene lamps and
they were things of delicate beauty.
We can see her now, trimming the
wicks, shining the chimneys and
cleaning up the china shades which
seemed to us to be pretty wonder-
ful. Once in a while she would send
us to Lutz's grocery for a. can of
kerosene. We remember that Lutz
would always slam a potato over
the spout as a sort of cork. At our
house when the quarter meter came
in, dad had a tendency to expect too
much of two-bits and every once in
a while at dinner the light would
begin to fade, bringing cries of
"Quick! Who's got a quarter in
change?”

The kick after touchdown is not
going to be the same play in foot-
ball under the new rules. If blocked,
the ball is to become dead. Thus
one of the most stirring moments in
football is to be blitzed. The blocked
kick, the scramble for the ball, the
breathless uncertainty for a few sec-
onds and then, perhaps, a kid break-
ing from the pack to score a long
run . . . oh, man! The game is
being steadily modified to a point
where it is more fun watching the
cheer leaders.
CAN YOU REMEMBER-
Away back when the only thing that
annoyed you on the radio was the
static? ...
Artur Rodzinski, former conduc-
tor of the New York Philharmonic,
has gone to the Chicago Symphony.
Rodzinski asked for and was given
his outright release by the New York
club, but we think if it had been
smart it could have had a large cash
sum, six outfield violinists and a
couple of southpaw oboe player#
for him.
