Here Are Some Quirks To Make That
Picnic Meal Taste Really Different
Whether you have a nearbj
beach or are spending a patriotic
vacation in your back yard—meals
■outdoors always taste better
You’ll want the traditional picnic
standbys—but why not give them
a modern touch? Here are some
quirks offered by Elizabeth
Sweeney in McCall’s for July:
*<361 the corn and coffee going
over the fire, and when the corn
is right, pour off the water and
let the black iron pot keep the
oars hot. Then start the man of
the family to broiling the franks.
Lay ’em sizzling between toasted
rolte, dress ’em up with zesty
mustard and crisp scallions. Have
a bowl of relish handy, too—or
make up some at the last minute
out of mixed chopped sweet pick
les and pimentos. Bring out gen
erous servings of old fashioned
potato salad, garden fresh toma
toes and eat-with-the-fingers cu
-eumber sticks.

"Bologna heated in spicy creole
sauce, sliced thick and served on
toasted buns with corn relish is a
welcome mainstay outdoors.
“'Curried dishes go with hot
weather. Ever eaten hot curried
mixed vegetables along with cold
•cuts? Carry the vegetables hot in
a thermos container. or bring
them along cold and heat up over
the fire.
"Stuffed eggs have a million
variations. Try deviling them by
nan old recipe: Mix together the
yolks of 4 hard-cooked eggs, 1/4
teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon mus
tard, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, 1
teaspoon vinegar and 1 tablespoon
mayonnaise or salad dressing. Fill
halved whites with the mixture.
You can ring in changes by adding
prepared horseradish; or bits .of
anchovy with chopped chicken.
;parsley; or minced lettuce or
watercress with chopped chicken,
tongue, salami or dried beef; or
sauteed mushrooms; or minced
■chicken livers.
"Com: bury it, unhusked, in the
ashes when fire’s been going a
while, heap live coals on top, rake
out and eat after about 30 minutes.
Bury apples and sweet potatoes in
hig juicy onions unpeeled in the
the ashes—they need to cook two
hours if large.
“Cake for a picnic — cane your
favorite 2 egg one-layer cake.
"When cooled, pour over it a mix
ture of 1/3 cup melted butter or
margarine, 1/2 cup brown sugar,
1/4 cup light cream and 1/2 cup
■broken walnuts. Place under
broiler, broil till browned. Carry to
picnic in pan. Serve cut in
squares.

Letters From
Our Boys
Dear Sis:
Here’s the letter I promised
sometime ago. I realize I’m the
prodigal, but don’t give up. Really
don't have anything of importance
to write about anyway. The only
thing of common interest is rais
ing hell about the seeming of
continuous policy of overlooking
my name on rotation and furlough
rosters.
I know you are wondering why
I haven’t been home or mentioned
that I might be going. Well, don’t
expect me at all. Apparently I
have no chance whatsoever. That’s
blunt but I believe a fact. If I
were to volunteer for the duration,
that is sign away my rights for
a discharge, I would be given a
furlough. That, I will definitely
refuse to do. My intentions are to
wait until I am readjusted, declar
ed essential, or discharged. I am
reasor«*bly sure that I will be dis
charged on my return. My return,
however, is the nigger in the
woodpile. The forty-two months
overseas service that I have at
present has no bearing on the
situation. Many men are being
furloughed and discharged who
have less service and less points
than I have. I missed the two
year furlough because of military
necessity. I was bypassed on ro
tation by the same men who had
the furloughs. Now, the same old
razz-berries on the readjustment.
I’m not belly-aching about the
army's policy in general. It’s fine.
Forethought and understanding on
the part of the people are ob
viously evident, even to the most
stupid people. I do honestly be
neve that the practice of adhering
strictly to the rules on paper and
not allowing circumstances to alter
cases stinks to high heaven. That’s
my only risk. Men are allowed
to leave who deserve it less by
length of service (many months
less) and point priority, and fel
lows in my category are left still
waiting.
I hope you understand fully
what I have tried to tell you. It
is not that I do not wish to come
home as you have implied, it is
impossible.
Kow is everyone? Is Dad at
home? Tell Mom not to worry
about me too much. I’m fine and
intend to remain so. Tell Libby
to write some in your next letter,
and Mom, too. Write regular air
mail. It‘s only a day or so longer
and the V-Mail loses that personal
touch.
I had a very expensive watch
that I was afraid was beginning to
ruin here so I decided to give it
